★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 137 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $38

Start near Split’s waterfront for a 48-hour pass covering a city panorama, Diocletian’s Palace walking tour, Klis Fortress, and Stella Croatica. Expect an English-speaking guide, multilingual audio, onboard Wi-Fi, and short scheduled stops rather than a true hop-on hop-off service.

“Beautiful place and a very pleasant and knowledgeable tour guide. It will be very nice to have the tour from the cruise port as it was the sightseeing hop on hop off, instead of walking to main area to pick up the tour. Everyone was very nice.”

7.Split: Dalmatia for Nature Lovers Green Line Sightseeing Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 115 reviews · from $25

“The olive oil farm and Klis fortress were quite good but I'm not sure what the point of the 3rd attraction was. Virtual Reality of country scenes for a few minutes then a rapid walk through a strange eco tunnel that was about 10 metres long. Think they should.look for something else to replace that.”
