We had a wonderful experience on our private tour of Diocletian’s Palace, Klis Fortress, and Trogir with our group of six! Our guide, Nebo, was exceptional. He is incredibly knowledgeable, a university professor, and a fantastic storyteller who made Croatian history and culture come alive. Nebo was articulate, engaging, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. His passion for Croatia was evident throughout the tour, and we learned so much about the country’s rich history, traditions, and culture. His background and personality made the experience both educational and entertaining. It was also fun to learn that he’s a marathon runner! We thoroughly enjoyed exploring these beautiful and historic places with him. If you’re looking for a private tour with an outstanding guide who combines deep knowledge with warmth and humor, we highly recommend Nebo. A memorable day for all six of us!

Itinerary
We’ll start our day with a walking tour of Diocletian’s Palace, where I’ll show you how the palace looked 1,700 years ago. Then we’ll enter the cellars to see how it was built. Next, we’ll walk through the southern part where the Emperor lived, visit the Vestibul (the grand welcome hall), and see the Peristyle, the palace’s main square. We’ll also visit all four gates and stop by the statue of Grgur Ninski, Split’s good luck charm. Finally, we’ll wander through the narrow Kala alleys, which will lead us back to our car for the next destination.
Perched high above Split, Klis Fortress offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Adriatic coast and surrounding mountains. As you arrive in your luxury van, the dramatic stone walls and rugged towers immediately set the tone for a journey through centuries of Croatian history.
An altenative to Klis Fortress are the ancient ruins of Salona.
After Klis Fortress, we’ll continue to Trogir, a beautiful historic town on a small island connected by bridges. We’ll walk through its narrow stone streets, see medieval city walls, and visit the main square with the impressive Cathedral of St. Lawrence. You’ll hear about Trogir’s Greek, Roman, and Venetian history, and have time for lunch and to enjoy the waterfront promenade before heading back to Split.

We had an amazing day with Henry on our tour of Split, Trogir, and Klis Fortress! This was the last port of our cruise, and it was such a great way to finish the trip. Henry was so knowledgeable, and hearing him explain the history behind the places we visited made everything much more interesting. We learned a lot throughout the day and really enjoyed exploring this part of Croatia with him. Something we really appreciated was how thoughtful he was. He even brought a bag of mandarins from his own tree at home so we could snack on them along the way! It was such a nice surprise and a kind thing to do. We loved that he thought to bring something from home to share with us. It’s a small detail, but it’s something we’ll remember about our day with Henry. Between exploring Split, visiting Klis Fortress, and seeing beautiful Trogir, we got to experience so much in one day. The places themselves were wonderful, and Henry added so much with everything he shared along the way. We would absolutely recommend Henry to anyone visiting Split and wanting to explore the surrounding area. We’re so glad we had him as our guide. Thank you, Henry, for a fantastic tour, your kindness, and, of course, the mandarins! 🍊

We had a wonderful day at Split touring at the Klis Fortress and the medieval palace. Our guide, Nebo, shared his wealth of historical infomation about Diocletian Palace and the evolution of city.
Our guide Henry was outstanding! His knowledge of the area which we toured was incredible. His van was large and comfortable for our family of 6 adults. His personality was warm and welcoming. I would definitely recommend him as your guide.
Take this tour, you will love it. Henry is great! We took this tour with a family of 7 (ages 16-78) and everyone had a great time. Henry was incredibly flexible and catered the tour to suit our desires. He also speaks impeccable English. 10 out of 10.
Our time with Henry in Split was our favorite tour of our 10 day vacation. We had a private tour with Henry and he showed us so much of Split and made the time with him so pleasurable. We loved hearing about what living in Split was like as he is a lifelong resident. We felt like best friends when our time with him was over. Do not hesitate to book this tour as you will learn so much and enjoy every minute with him.
We had a great day! Henry was not only a great guide but an interesting person to spend the day with. We had a plan but he was also very flexible, understanding that this was our first time in the area. He was also able to take us to a location of local and historical significance that the larger companies do not visit. Highly recommended!
We just spent a delightful day with Henry touring the Split area. The walking tour of Diocletian’s palace was very interesting. Rode in his very comfortable van to the other sites finishing in Trogir. Having a private guide really gives you a feel for the area. Henry’s English is perfect and he has great knowledge of the history of the area. I’ve been on lots of cruises and he’s probably the best guide we’ve ever had. I wholeheartedly recommend using Henry
Great tour and well worth the cost. Henry was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Very comprehensive tour of Split.
Our guide Henry was knowledgeable and very friendly. He shared with us soooo much that we didn’t know about Croatia. The weather was rainy but he made our day fun and memorable! We are happy we booked this.
We loved Trogir and our time there. The views from Klis were amazing! Our guide, Henry, was very informative and flexible with what we wanted to do. He was a very pleasant and interesting guide. We enjoyed our day with him very much!
Henry was knowledgeable and gave us a great tour of Split, Klis Fortress, and Trogir. His sense of humor made the trip especially enjoyable.
Great tour of fortress in Split. Hrvoje is very knowledgeable of the sights and the history. Trogir was equally great to visit. This trip was perfect for what we were looking to do and we were fortunate to have such an experienced guide.
This was a fantastic day trip And a great introduction to our first experience in this enchanted coastal town. Our guide Henry was extremely knowledgeable and organized the tour in such a way that the history and the culture of the Croatian people seemed to come alive as we walked through the old city. My wife and I are not inexperienced when it comes to tapping into the resources of local tours and we expect excellent service and information. This tour far exceeded our expectations. The reason for this was the enthusiasm and passion of our guide. Henry clearly was proud of this country and his people. - His enthusiasm was contagious..
Best time we had on our vacation! Henry was such a great guide and made all the stories he told flow effortlessly into each other. Diocletian’s Palace alone was worth it, the view of Split from Klis was spectacular, and Trogir at nightfall, with all the Christmas decorations, left us speechless 🥳
This was our favorite tour while vacationing in Croatia. We absolutely enjoyed the time and tour with Henry. Being a native, he was well versed in the culture and history of the region. His passion and ability to take history and put it into a story was captivating.
Henry was a wonderful guide. His knowledge of Croatia was unmatched and made a rainy day super fun! Split, Klis and Trogir were the places we visited and each one felt different and special in its own way. Highly recommend :))
We started our tour in Split. Henry showed us Diocletian's palace. What a wonderful structure hidden in plane sight. After that we drove up the mountain to enjoy the stunning view from Klis. We ended our trip with Trogir. Small but packed with history and beautiful buildings. Since it was october it was not crowded. Amazing guide, great value for money and the best half day tour from Split!! 10/10
Wonderful experience, great way to spend a day without traveling too much. Split and Klis were not crowded, Trogir a little bit due to cruise ships. Our guide was excellent with a great sense of humor. My favorite part was Peristil in Split (Diocletian's palace) Highly recommend to do this tour!
After booking this trip I spoke to Htvoje and told him I was a Game of thrones fan. He made slight adjustments to the tour and showed us all the filming locations ( cellars included). Split, Klis and Trogir. Hard to pick a favorite. Perfect tour!
Our tour of Split, Klis Fortress and Trogir is one of the best tours we have ever been on. Hrvoje was very knowledgeable of the area, speaks very good English and is extremely friendly and cordial. His car was very comfortable and clean. He took us to some ancient ruins near his hometown which was not on the itinerary. This was a nice surprise for us. We would highly recommend this tour and any others that his company offers.
I had a wonderful time with Hrvoje. He took me and my boat crew on an amazing trip. Great hospitality and super friendly and knowledgeable host. Highly recommend!
The tour guide is friendly , knowledgeable and very accommodative. He also has a very comfortable car.
We had a wonderful day exploring Diocletian's Palace and Trogir with Hrvoje. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and local culture, spoke perfect English, and captivated us with his exceptional storytelling skills. This tour was both informative and enjoyable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
One of the best walking tours I've ever been on. Henry is an excellent storyteller. If you enjoy history and culture this is the tour for you!
We were out with Hrvoje and had a really great day. Many thanks to Hrvoje for the very friendly and informative tour. Would do it again anytime!
