Escape to Split: 3-Day Private Tour

History, coastline, and culture on the shores of the Adriatic


This Split private tour offers three days to absorb the layered character of one of Croatia's most captivating cities. From the ancient stones of a Roman emperor's palace to the shimmering waters of the Adriatic, Split rewards visitors who take their time.

Nestled between rugged mountains and a crystal-clear sea, Split carries thousands of years of history within walking distance of modern restaurants, galleries, and beaches. The old town, built directly into the walls of Diocletian's Palace, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that still functions as a living neighborhood.

This itinerary is designed to give you breathing room. Airport transfers are handled privately, accommodations are centrally located, and optional activities allow you to shape each day around your own interests. Guided experiences, wine tastings, and private car rentals with a driver are all available as add-ons.

Whether you choose to wander the palace cellars, sample Dalmatian olive oils, or simply sit by the sea, this short break is structured to feel genuinely restorative rather than rushed.

Tour Highlights

Walk through the 4th-century Diocletian's Palace, one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the world, still inhabited and alive with daily activity.

Enjoy the Adriatic coastline at your own pace, with access to Split's celebrated beaches just minutes from the historic city center.

Optional wine and olive oil tasting introduces the authentic flavors of Dalmatia and Istria, paired with local bread, cheese, and fig jam.

A private car rental with a professional driver lets you explore the surrounding region at your own rhythm, from medieval towns to scenic coastal roads.

Discover the ancient Cellars, Peristyle, Cathedral of Saint Domnius, Baptistry, and the iconic Golden Gate within the palace complex.

Private airport transfers on arrival and departure ensure a seamless, stress-free start and end to your Croatian escape.
