Trogir is a UNESCO World Heritage town known for its beautiful mix of history and charm. Founded more than 2,000 years ago, it has seen Greeks, Romans, and Venetians all leave their mark. The old town sits on a small island, linked by bridges, and is perfect for exploring on foot. Its narrow stone streets, hidden courtyards, and small squares create a special atmosphere that feels like stepping back in time. At the heart of Trogir stands the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, famous for its 13th-century portal carved by Master Radovan. The palm-lined waterfront is another highlight, with cafés, boats, and the Kamerlengo Fortress offering wonderful views of the sea and town. Though compact, Trogir is truly unforgettable.
Diocletian’s Palace is the heart of Split and one of the most remarkable Roman monuments in the world. Built around 305 AD by the Roman emperor Diocletian as his retirement residence, the palace is more like a small city than a single building. Within its massive walls you’ll find a maze of narrow streets, lively squares, and centuries of history layered together. Highlights include the Peristyle, once the ceremonial courtyard; the Cathedral of St. Domnius, originally Diocletian’s mausoleum; and the underground cellars, which give you a sense of the palace’s original scale. Today the palace is still alive, filled with shops, cafés, and homes. Walking through it feels like stepping into living history — where the Roman past meets the everyday life of Split.

Mario was a great guide. He was very flexible in showing us places and different things. The day was extremely hot (35°) which wasn’t helped by travelling in a minivan with broken air conditioning. Mario managed to change vehicles part way through the tour, but unfortunately it was a much smaller vehicle, meaning the last half of the tour was cramped. I feel the company let Mario down, as he did an excellent job.
Excellent hosts, Marko, Sylva,Judith.
Silvio is a great guide. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He is very interested in his country’s history and his enthusiasm makes his information interesting. We enjoyed our day.
Best Guide Ever! He had so much information to share. I think his name was Egore. Good pace to see as much as time allowed.
Had a great tour lead by Sanja. She was very kind and was able to tell us about the history of the city. She also spoke to us about Croatian culture, and gave us recommendations. She didn’t rush us at all, and went above and beyond with her hospitality. Would definitely recommend to my friends and family!
We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Silvio even though it was raining all day. We were shown the highlights of both cities. You could tell that Silvio was proud of his home city. He was full of useful information. Van was clean and comfortable.
Fabulous tour and the guide was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and gave us lots of info on everything in such a way that it was interesting and not at all boring.
We traveled with 2 other couples to Trogir & Split. Our tour guide was very hospitalable in answering everyone's questions, providing a thorough tour overview, and having a driver take us in a Mercedes.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your tour to Trogir and Split and that the experience worked well for your group. It’s great to know your guide was helpful in answering questions and providing a clear overview throughout the day, and that the transport made the journey comfortable.

Easy to find our tour guide Silvio as we walked out of the terminal. Delightful ride over to Trogir first and we beat the crowds and tour buses. Learning all the history and all that transpired there through the ages was totally fascinating. Our second stop was at the Diocletian Palace in Split. Having a small group (4) we covered a lot. Will definitely book with Viator again.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re happy to hear everything went smoothly from the pickup at the terminal and that you enjoyed visiting Trogir before the larger crowds arrived. Having smaller groups really does make the experience more relaxed and allows for a more personal tour, so we’re glad you appreciated that as well. It’s great to hear you enjoyed learning about the history of both Trogir and Diocletian’s Palace in Split. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to see you back in Croatia in the future! Silvio
My friends and I had a fabulous time on Silvio's Split and Trogir tour. The tour from pick up to drop off was very well organized. I appreciated Silvio's entertaining stories about his country's people, places and history as he led us through the beautiful town of Trogir and then Diocletian's Palace in Split, first built for a Roman emperor but very much lived in today. And he recommended a great local spot for lunch. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear that you and your friends had such a great time on the Split and Trogir tour. It’s great to know you enjoyed the stories, the history, and the atmosphere of both towns — especially the unique experience of exploring Diocletian’s Palace, where history and everyday life come together. We’re also glad you enjoyed the local lunch recommendation! Thank you again for joining us and for the recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Croatia someday! Silvio
