Is entry to Diocletian's Palace and the Cathedral included?

The description confirms you'll walk through the Palace and its cellars, the Peristyle, and visit the Cathedral and Baptistery, though specific pricing for site entry is not detailed. Confirm with the supplier whether fees are included in the EUR 525 quoted rate.

How much free time do I have for lunch and exploring on my own?

You get dedicated free time in both Split (after the guided portion) and in Trogir after the main sightseeing. The tour is 5 hours total, so expect roughly 1–2 hours of unguided time depending on your guide's pacing and travel between towns.

What makes Trogir different from Split?

Trogir is a smaller, UNESCO-protected medieval town built on an ancient Greek settlement, known for Renaissance monuments and its compact island setting. Split is larger and dominated by the grand Roman palace complex; Trogir offers intimate medieval streets and refined architectural details like Radovan's ornate cathedral portal.

Is this tour suitable for people with limited mobility?

The tour involves extensive walking through ancient sites with stairs, uneven stone surfaces, and narrow medieval streets. Those with mobility challenges should confirm accessibility with the supplier, as Diocletian's Palace cellar areas and Trogir's old town are not fully wheelchair-friendly.

Can I customize the itinerary or spend more time in one location?

This is a private tour, so your guide can typically adjust pacing and time allocation. Discuss priorities with the supplier when booking—for example, longer in the palace or extra time for Trogir's cathedral and museums.

What should I bring for this tour?

Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring sunscreen and a hat (especially in summer), carry water, and wear modest clothing if you plan to enter the Cathedral. A camera is worthwhile given the photogenic architecture and coastal views.

About this activity

Explore two of Dalmatia's most historically significant towns on this private 5-hour tour combining Split's 1,700-year-old Roman palace with the UNESCO-protected medieval charm of Trogir. Your guide takes you through layered history—from Diocletian's 4th-century chambers to Renaissance palaces—with flexibility to linger at your own pace.

Split is situated on a peninsula and surrounded by historical towns and settlements. We shall take a walk through the 4th-century Diocletian's Palace and its ancient Cellars, the Peristyle, Roman temples (today Christian ones) – the Cathedral and the Baptistery, and then the famous Golden Gate. After a sightseeing tour of the town of Split and some free time for individual exploring, we start our bus ride towards Trogir.

Trogir is a small town under the cultural protection of UNESCO, which arose from the ancient Tragurion and is full of buildings and monuments testifying to its rich history. There stands the Cathedral with its famous portal made by the well-known local master Radovan, the City Loggia from the 15th century, the Ćipiko palace, the Town Hall, and the Benedictine monastery from the year 1064, where a Greek relief is kept representing Kairos (the God of auspicious moment). After sightseeing, free time for lunch.

our guide Aiko sorted everything for us and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and ran the full 4 hours promised, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.

our guide Sven was nice enough, but the bit at the end nobody expects felt a bit rushed honestly, and on a rainy sunday.

our guide Ingrid was brilliant and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and blew our Dubrovnik one out of the water.

our guide Jonas really knew their stuff and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and spot on for a couples day out, and came away with 200+ photos.
