Split Sightseeing bus & walking tour - Great Way to appreciate the City Culture & History.
My husband and I came to Split on Aug. 4, 2019 on cruise but didn't join any cruise excursion. We found "Split Sightseeing bus & walking tour" 1-Day pass for 20 Euro pp recommended by local tourist information center. This tour was operated by Apodos Travel Agency.
It was a "Hop On & Off" tour (which came in both AC and open top double deck buses) that provided a 45 mins. city tour was conducted in different languages by headphones. Tourists could request to stop at any stops along the path. We stopped at the beautiful crystal clear water beach for 2 hrs. for lunch.
The Highlight was the 1-hr. walking tour to the Old Palace by the guide name : Slavia Ljubic. She was not only very knowledgeable in Croatia History & Culture but was also neutral in her viewpoints and super attentive to our questions ; her answers were accurate & precise. She also exhibited good photography skills and took Great shots of us at memorable locations. Excellent Guide!

Krka National Park excursion - We were staying in Split and went with Split Vision tours on a daytime excursion to Krka National Park, which is about an hour away from Split. On the way, our guide Edita gave us a great deal of information about the city of Split, the other towns in the region, the history of Croatia, and many other interesting things. We stopped in the city of Sibenik, saw a beautiful church, and had coffee on the square. Krka itself was fantastic. Edita gave us a walking tour of the park, and we then had 2 hours to explore on our own. The cost of the tour includes all transportation and entrance to the park. Highly recommended as a great way to see the park from Split.
