And then the fortress, so cool! loved walking around and seeing it all, it just got better and better! Got the audioguide which was nice. The staff working at the entrance were however not very friendly. all and all a great experience that I definitely recommend. We had a car which made it very easy to go from split.

Spend eight hours with an English-speaking guide visiting Trogir, Salona, Klis Fortress, Hidden Dalmatia, and Stella Croatica. You’ll see Roman ruins, medieval streets, Adriatic views, interactive exhibits, olive oil, figs, and local sweets. The $28 price is attractive, but plan extra cash for entrance fees and bring snacks since lunch is not included.

“We both thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Miron was an extremely knowledgeable guide, so passionate about his country, its history and its future. We covered a lot of ground- the historic amphitheater was awesome, and there was plenty of time to explore. Kliss fortress was fantastic- and the information given by our wonderful guide was great. Such a great tour. Just be advised that to get the best of the tour, you need to pay entrance fees to some places (15 euros each). The trip was great value.”
