Split and Trogir Private Tour from Cruise Ship in Split
Two UNESCO World Heritage sites, one expertly guided private journey from the port.
This private shore excursion from Split cruise port is designed for cruise passengers who want a focused, unhurried look at two of Croatia's most celebrated coastal destinations within a single five-hour window.
Split and Trogir sit within a short drive of each other along the Dalmatian coast, making them an ideal pairing for visitors with limited time. Both towns carry UNESCO World Heritage status, and both reward slow exploration on foot through their historic cores.
A dedicated private guide accompanies you throughout, providing historical context that transforms what could be a surface-level visit into a genuinely memorable experience. The itinerary is structured to work within cruise schedules, so you can explore with confidence and return to the ship on time.

Walk through Diocletian's Palace, a Roman imperial residence built over 1,700 years ago and still inhabited today.
Visit two UNESCO World Heritage sites in a single private excursion from the cruise port.
Explore the medieval streets of Trogir, a remarkably preserved island town connected to the mainland by a short bridge.
Admire the Cathedral of St. Lawrence in Trogir, renowned for its Romanesque portal carved by master sculptor Radovan.
Stroll the Riva waterfront promenade in Split and take in open views across the Adriatic Sea.
Tour Saint Domnius Cathedral, one of the oldest Catholic cathedrals in the world, located within Diocletian's Palace.
Travel on a fully private basis, meaning the itinerary pace adapts to your group rather than a fixed coach schedule.
Itinerary
Your private guide meets you directly at the cruise terminal in Split. After a brief introduction, the group transfers by vehicle toward Trogir, approximately 27 kilometers to the northwest along the coast.
Arrival in Trogir brings you into one of the best-preserved medieval townscapes on the Adriatic. Your guide leads you through cobbled lanes lined with Romanesque and Renaissance architecture, explaining the layers of history that earned the town its UNESCO designation.
The cathedral stands as the centerpiece of Trogir's main square. Particular attention is given to the west portal, an intricate Romanesque carving completed by Radovan in 1240 and considered one of the finest examples of medieval sculpture in the region.
Back in Split, the tour moves inside the walls of Diocletian's Palace, a vast Roman complex that forms the living heart of the city's old town. Your guide connects the surviving architecture to the stories of the emperor who commissioned it and the communities that have occupied it for centuries.
A visit to Saint Domnius Cathedral, originally built as Diocletian's mausoleum and converted into a Christian church, offers a rare encounter with one of the world's oldest continuously functioning cathedrals. The tour concludes with time along the Riva seafront promenade before returning to the cruise port.
