Dubrovnik and Split: A Private 7-Day Journey Through Croatia's Adriatic Coast
Three days in Dubrovnik's walled city followed by four days discovering Split's Roman legacy.
This Dubrovnik and Split private tour combines Croatia's two most celebrated cities into a single, thoughtfully paced itinerary that balances guided discovery with meaningful free time. Airport transfers, professional guided tours, and flexible optional excursions are all woven into a seven-day framework designed for travelers who want substance alongside comfort.
Dubrovnik draws visitors with its ring of medieval walls, ornate palaces, and the layered history of the former Republic of Ragusa. Over three nights, guests have time to walk the limestone-paved streets, join an expert-led city tour, and venture out to nearby peninsulas and islands at their own pace.
Split offers a different but equally compelling perspective on the Adriatic past. The city has grown around a fourth-century Roman imperial residence, and everyday life continues inside and around Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Four nights here allow for unhurried exploration of the old town and optional day trips to the Krka waterfalls, the island of Hvar, or local wine estates.
Tour Highlights
Walk Dubrovnik's ancient city walls and explore the palaces and churches of the Old Town, a setting shaped over seven centuries of the Republic of Ragusa.
Step inside Diocletian's Palace in Split, examining its Roman cellars, Peristyle, temples, Cathedral, Baptistry, and the iconic Golden Gate.
Visit Fortress Lovrijenac and the filming locations used in the television series Game of Thrones, with a guided boat ride to the island of Lokrum.
Optional day trips from Dubrovnik include Peljesac wine country, the historic town of Korcula, and the forested national park on the island of Mljet.
From Split, optional excursions reach Krka National Park's cascading waterfalls, the glamorous island of Hvar, and surrounding hilltop villages known for their prosciutto.
Optional wine-tasting experiences showcase authentic Croatian varietals paired with fleur de sel, aged red wine vinegar, and fresh homemade bread.
Private airport transfers at both ends of the journey and a dedicated meet-and-greet service ensure seamless arrivals and departures throughout the tour.
