Split and Trogir private tour *ideal for cruise ship guests*
Split and Trogir make a smart pair: one is a living Roman palace, the other a small stone city surrounded by water. This private outing lets you see both without wrestling with a large bus group or trying to connect the two by public transport. Diocletian’s Palace supplies the big historical setting, while Trogir gives you a quieter old-town stroll.
I especially like the flexible pacing and the chance to visit Trogir first, before Split gets crowded. I also like having a local guide and air-conditioned vehicle for the drive, particularly on a hot summer day. The main caution is time: four to six hours goes quickly, and a guide who talks at length can reduce your time for simply looking around.
Key points
- Two historic towns in one outing: See Split’s ancient palace and Trogir’s UNESCO-protected old town.
- Useful for cruise-port days: Pickup and return can be arranged around the cruise area, with hotel-lobby pickup also offered.
- Private and adjustable: Guides can adapt stops, walking pace, and free time to your group.
- Comfortable transport: An air-conditioned vehicle links the towns and adds panoramic stops along the way.
- Good local guidance: Andrej, Ivan, Petar, Silvio, Elena, Oliver, and others have been praised for clear explanations and friendly service.
- Extra cathedral cost: Cathedral admission is not included, so plan for that separately if you want to enter.
