Itinerary
Meet your guide at your central Dubrovnik hotel in the morning. Then settle into your comfortable seat aboard an air-conditioned vehicle and travel north to Split, roughly three hours away. As you travel, gaze out at the gorgeous coastal scenery and listen to your guide talk about the day’s itinerary.
On arrival, hop out of your minivan and set off on a walking tour of the coastal city's sights. With your guide leading the way, see the UNESCO-listed Diocletian’s Palace, a colossal imperial residence in the heart of Split Old Town. Head inside (own expense) for a stroll around Peristyle Square and to see the Cathedral of St Duje with its magnificent bell tower, as well as the Temple of Jupiter, a beautifully preserved Roman monument. As you wander, hear tales of the extravagant Emperor Diocletian and learn how the palace was featured in the hit HBO TV series Game of Thrones as the city of Meereen. After touring the palace, continue on to Republic Square (Prokurative), a Mediterranean-style plaza lined with striking neo-Renaissance buildings, and pass by the Ivan Meštrović Gallery. Then, navigate your way through the historic town’s narrow passages and hidden streets to Riva, a beautiful promenade that stretches the entire length of Split Old Town. Following your 1.5-hour walking tour, enjoy around three hours of free time to continue sightseeing independently. When you’ve worked up an appetite, head to a local restaurant for a traditional Dalmatian lunch (own expense). When the time comes, meet back up with your guide and group, and then return to your minivan for the drive back to Dubrovnik. During the journey back, stop at a roadside stall to pick up organic mandarins, honey and other local produce to nibble on (own expense). Your day trip concludes with a drop-off back at your hotel.

It was a very nice tour made the most of the time that I got to see split was the only way I would have been able to see it. My driver was very nice gave us a lot of information and made stops along the way for us to take pictures.
Split was beautiful! Our driver (Dan) was great. Tour guide (Lydia) was amazing! So nice and knowledgebale about the palace. Kept it moving and fun on a very hot day! Only reason i didnt give thr tour a 5 is that you ultimately spend twice as much time in the van as your do ar your destination. Very long drive for a 2 hour tour, and 2 hours to explore. Only.male the trip if you have extra time.in Dubrovnik
Split was a beautiful place, but the tour in Split consisted for an hour and it felt rushed.
Great city not to be missed. Driving from Dubrovnik gave expectacular views the entire journey. The famous islands along the coast
A great way to see Split from Dubrovnik. The guided tour was really good. Harris was an informative guide. It is a long drive, but well worthwhile. There is enough time to see Split and have a nice lunch before returning to Dubrovnik.
The price is way too high compared to other tours. You pretty much pay for a ride to and from Split. Once we arrived in split. Our guide walked us through the old city for 1.5 hours. You had to pay extra to go into the museums or the church. This should be included with the price because the description says we will see this. So you pretty much paid someone to walk you through the city Which you could’ve done yourself with not much history.
Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful guide. Bo was an impressive young man. Split is beautiful and Dioclesian Palce is interesting and worth visiting. Shops inside however are expensive and overpriced.
There were only two of us on the two and we had a wonderful time! Our driver Dan was very punctual and the van was very comfortable. When we stopped for a rest break on the way to Split, Dan bought is each a coffee. When we reached Split, we met our guide Harris who presented fascinating information as we not pnly explored the Palace of Diocletian but much of the rest of the old town. We had just the right amount of time to see all the sights and have a relaxing lunch. When we returned to the van, Dan had purchased us drinks for our journey back to Dubrovnik. A wonderful outing!
Great day out with the family. Perfect amount of time to see the main sights in Split. Highly recommend.
Split Day trip from Dubrovnik is a great choice for first time traveler to Croatia. Diocletian Palace is worth to see. Just my family of 3 in the tour but our driver/guide is very accomodating and professional which makes us feel comfortable. Spectacular view of adriatic sea along the coast as well.
Driver, Daniel was very pleasant and informative. Walking Guide, Ana was very knowledgeable in historical terms but also gave us a real sense of life in Split and Croatia both now and in the past.
They canceled on me the night before saying they didn’t have the minimum number of people for the tour.
Our driver to and from Split was very nice informative. Our guide in was also excellent. We really know the background history of split now and that makes the trip even more.
Split is beautiful, enjoyed the commentary but the bus ride is too long. Enjoyed the beautiful scenery,our driver was very informative and our guide, Ana was very good. They were both on time and answered all our questions. They both made our Split visit memorable and I will recommend to our friends.
The ancient palace was incredible Unfortunately. It rained most of the say, so we weren’t able to explore as much as we hoped
I can’t give this a high rating. The only decent part of our tour was ANa, the tour guide. We had reservations for September 11, and were asked to change for September 12. Lucky fir the tour company, we were flexible but it was still a hassle. We WAY overpaid for this trip. Our driver picked us up at 7:15, per the information we had we were planning on a 12 he day, that is what we paid for. But we left Split at 2:30 at the drivers suggestion. So we didn’t get the full 12 hrs and therefore overpaid. We were in small van and not a comfortable bus like we assumed. Overall,not impressed. We’d ask for our money back if possible.
The tour guide Ana was very informative. Although the trip itself was a bit of a long drive to Split.
Our guide who drove us was absolutely amazing and phenomenal. Zack was absolutely amazing he gave us an incredible experience. .
Amazing day!! Zack was wonderful, very nice, friendly and knew so much about country and city! He got us to and fro safely. He was flexible and helped plan visit to winery that we really wanted to do. Nadia our guide in Split was very knowledgeable! Highly recommend this tour. Drive long but we’ll worth it!!! Beautiful city!!
Some people might hesitate to take a day trip to Split from Dubrovnik because it's a 3-hour ride, but this tour made everything fly by because of the comfort, care, and experiences. Our driver and guide, Marin, was so knowledgeable and kind, and he made the ride both to and from Dubrovnik seem so easy and enjoyable. He taught us about Croatian history, pointed out important landmarks, and taught us about local culture. When we got to Split, we were handed off to a local tour guide who led us on a 90-minute-or-so walking tour around the main area of Diocletian's Palace. We learned so much about the history of the palace, as well as unique anecdotes and stories about Croatian and Balkans history. We then got about two more hours to wander around and take in the sights. Also, as a bonus, on our way home, Marin stopped at the amazing town of Ston, where we got an extra 45 minutes to explore this quaint town with so much history! This tour was amazing!
Great tour, our driver was excellent as was the local guide, lovely day trip. Worth paying for the smaller group.
Our tour guide when we get to split was very nice and knowledgeable. Our driver Zac, the magician was absolutely fun. He made our 6 hrs total ride rather not boring but fun and interesting as he was explaining all the places a long the way with enthusiasm.
Super Tours called me a couple of days ago to switch our Mostar day tour (originally on Monday) to Saturday. Our Split day tour would then be on Monday. We went on the Mostar day tour. On Sunday evening (less than 24 hours for the Split tour) Super Tours sent me an email that someone canceled so therefore they were canceling our day tour to Split. This is just awful as we planned our days in Dubrovnik based on how many tours we would be signing up for. Now I'm paying for an extra hotel night in Dubrovnik (which we didn't need). Our next stop is Florence. I would have added that extra day in Italy. Amazing that the customer isn't allowed to cancel the tour less than 24 hours, but the company can, not even offering me another tour option. Horrible inconvenience; I will never use Super Tours again.
Drachan was our tour driver who got us safely to split and back with adequate information and enough breaks. Local guide in Split was Harris who was okish. We wish we had asked more information on what else to look at during our spare time eg where to buy tickets and stuf. If you want to do a tick box exercise of visiting Split from Dubrovnik, this would be the way of doing it comfortably without added stress. Nothing to complain.
Dreadful value for money. You can easily do this yourself at a fraction of the cost by taking a Flixbus from the bus station and arming yourself with a decent guide book. Better still stay overnight. It's a 3 hour trip each way.
This day trip was exceptional because of the driver Marin who was absolutely the best we have had on this entire trip and every other tour guide was very good also!. He is an excellent driver and on top of that so kind, respectful, professional, and very knowledgeable. It was our last day in Croatia and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had Marin for the day tour. He is an exceptional driver and he is obviously a very good person.The trip to Split was beautiful and the guide Haris while in Split was wonderful. On the way back Marin stopped in Ston which was a little slice of heave ...Overall the day trip was the best and we feel incredibly fortunate to have been given Marin as our driver for the day. He is a great representative for your company. Thank you so much!
First of all our driver Luka was excellent, he gave us some information about Croatia and Bosnia and was very prompt with pick up times. Our guide in Split was also very informative and polite. So overall nothing wrong with the tour company or guides etc However, Split itself was just a little underwhelming for me compared to Dubrovnik and lacked a little bit of charm. It was a good day trip, but now i have been to Split i would not rush back.
It was an awesome day trip from Dubrovnik to Split with our awesome, excellent and very patient driver Nenad. We learn so much about Croatia from him.
Tour operator sent text late afternoon (the day before start of tour) to see if I could reschedule. I did not find out that it was actually canceled until 8:00 pm that night. Tried calling them several times to see what was going on. No answer. Terrible customer service. Very little advance notice of cancellation. Will NEVER schedule another Viator trip again! Don’t book with them and open yourself up to such irresponsible treatment!
I had a blast. The scenery on the way to and from Split is amazing. Split is really nice and beautiful. My guide Stephen was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and we had a great time.
Our driver and first guide, Zek, was very knowledgeable and talked about all of the sites we were passing during the drive. Our Split guide, Ana Maria was equally knowledgeable and friendly
We had a great drive to Split. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We met our local guide, Anna, in Split. She gave us a very comprehensive history of the town and a great recommendation for lunch (Fife). The promenade is beautiful as well as the entire city. It was a great day!
The transfer from Dubrovnik to Split by Super Tours was effortless and comfortable. Our driver was informative and allowed for enough time to soak in the sights enroute. In Split we were met by a local guide (Harris) who showed us the main sights of Split. The tour departed Pile Gate at 06.40 and returned just after 5pm. We had approximately 4hours to explore Split. Its a great tour for people looking to visit another city while keeping Dubrovnik as their home base
Great driver Igor and guide Daniella brought the palace history to life! Thank you for a good day in historic Croatia!
Great day out from Dubrovnik. Igor, our driver, was very helpful and provided some great insights to life in Croatia (and Bosnia!). Danielle, our guide in Split, was very friendly and knowledgeable about Split with some general knowledge tests along the way! There was plenty of time after the formal tour of the Diocletian palace area / old city for lunch and self-exploring, including the harbour area. Although it's a long time on the road, the vehicle was comfortable and thankfully airconditioned! The scenery up to and from Split is something to enjoy, but take some headphones or a book as well. There are some nice stop off options as well.
The old town is not as big sd in Dubrovnik but also nice. Lots of cafes, restsurants and some pubs give a reason to stay longer. The guide for the 45min walking tour in the old town gave lots of tips where to go and what to see. With more than 5 hours theres heaos of time to explore or just relaxe in one of the many restaurants or cafes. The drive is long but worth it.
Tanya’s in depth history of the areas we visited, Mario’s fabulous driving skill in the rain and Lidija’s narrative along with legends added up to a wonderful day of discovery.
If you just want to see what Split looks like because you are short of time, this tour will let you see the center town of Split. Our driver and guide, Ivan and Luka were very nice.
This was by far my favorite guide so far in Croatia! The transfer was amazing and fast! Andrew was our tour guide and he was the best tour guide I ever had in any country! We had enough time to explore the city of split and had a smooth ride home to relax! Andrew made the ride fun and made the long car ride seem much shorter! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting split and hope you have Andrew as a guide!
We had a wonderful trip to Split. The ride was comfortable. Our driver Andrew was informative and passionate about his country.
Split is well worth a day trip. The guide we had for the palace was amazing and really brought the history to life. We had free time after to wander the town it is a beautiful spot along the harbour. Driver was great as well!
Our tour guide was Vladimir, It was a long drive to Split and we expect something from the tour guide to let us know what we see along the way but he was very quiet , just keep on driving til we reach the place. It's just like we hired a driver to take us to the place. we found out it was his first time touring tourists , so no experience at all ! LOL
As we were staying in Dubrovnik, we wanted to be lazy and have a vehicle take us from Dubrovnik to Split, hence we chose this tour. There were 7 of us in the group and we all fit into a mini-van. As my husband and I were the last to be picked up, we had the front seats. However the middle seat it quite squishy and not enough leg room. The 3hr ride both ways went quickly and we got to see the beautiful coast line for the first part. Driver was nice and gave us tidbits of information. This was an expensive tour for what it was. Actual tour in Split was only 1 hour long. I didn't think the local guide was great and was expecting more about the history of Diocletian's Palace and surrounds. We had 2.5 hours to explore the town ourselves which was great. It was good to be comfortable, but if you want to save money, take the public bus or stay in Split and get another local guide.
<p>Mixed thoughts on this.</p> <p></p> <p>We travelled 8 hours in total on the day to spend only 3 hours in Split!</p> <p></p> <p>I was really looking forward to visiting Split but disappointed by having a poor tour guide. The walking tour was cut to 1 hour rather 90 minutes and we were only given 3 hours altogether in Split instead of 5 hours. </p> <p><br/> Left me feeling extremely disappointed as the tour guide was very boring and not engaging. We weren't given enough time to explore as free time was reduced to under 2 hours and we had to take time out of that for lunch.</p> <p>Now looking back it seems the tour company prefers to leave Split by a certain time latest 2.30/3pm and this dictates how long you get in Split rather than what you're sold in the tour description.</p>
<p>Great guide and driver. Definitely made the trip fun. I highly recommend.</p>
<p>It didn't happen. Both Viator and the local operator did not want to know. Monarch airline failed early 2nd October 2017, as a result I had to rebook flights. The earliest I could get was 3rd October 2017. I contacted viator and the local operator on 2nd October and they kept referring me to one another. As a result of which someone pocketed my 150 which I wanted to transfer to other trips.<br/> I suggest you book with with other operators.</p>
<p>Other than the palace, there is not much to see. We did enjoy the marina and lunch. It was a long bus ride from Dubrovnik.</p>
<p>A long way for a relatively short period of time, but a lovely place to visit, have lunch and see the unique Roman remains still lived in to this day. Views from the cathedral bell tower were great. Our driver, Robert, was excellent - his spoken English was great and he explained lots about the history of Croatia and life there today as we went along.</p>
<p>The trip there was good the driver talked to us because we were in the front with him didn't know you needed passports for this one would have been good to be told not our cup of tea but very popular place</p>
