Explore Trogir in a new way - The different kind of sightseeing tour with (tragic) historical and mythological stories and legends around Trogir (no run-of-the-mill ghost stories). If you have already explored the beautiful old town during the day, you will get to know the city in a completely different way, details that have remained hidden and learn about traditions and small things that have been preserved until today. You will be guided by one of the nicest people I had the pleasure to meet in partly off-lying streets, always guided by the small light of the lantern. The little stories are told super atmospherically, so that even with the colorful lighting and sometimes loud music of the restaurants, the right mood arises. Absolutely recommended for all who want to get to know the city in a completely new way!

Amazing experience. - This tour was superb. The guide was fantastic and had an amazing knowledge of Trogir. The stories told were fascinating and the whole tour was just captivating. We would highly recommend doing this tour. It was amazing to see the Trogir at night and it was the perfect time to see it in its prettiest state. We travelled down streets we didn’t know existed on this tour and we’d thought we had explored everything.

Truly unique and highly recommended - An atmospheric and passionate tour around a beautiful town. Made all the more enjoyable by a fantastic guide who shifted effortlessly between her friendly self and spooky character. We toured on a Friday evening and the Trogir nightlife was particularly lively, but not once did we see a flicker of distraction while she told captivating stories from the past. One of my favourite memories from the holiday, will definitely be back. Thank you!

Great fun! - Our last night in Trogir was made all the more memorable by Doris and her Myths and Legends tour. She has a gift and provided us with a different kind of history from the guidebooks! Thank you, Doris.

Learn history - Last night we went on a very special tour. We are my husband, myself and our adult daughter. We met our guide (Doris) at the main gate in Trogir at 9 p.m. After a short chat to get to know each other, we set off. She took us back to the Middle Ages and told us wonderful stories about people who lived in Trogir at that time. Maybe they were really just stories and legends. But she told everything so wonderfully vividly, we were captivated. And it's not just these stories that make her special, no, she has a lot of knowledge about Trogir. We learned a lot of interesting things. For example, that the street we always stroll down so carelessly was the divide between rich and poor in the Middle Ages. We have a lot of praise for our guide Doris. All three of us can only recommend this tour. It's great. If you want to experience Trogir away from tourism etc......be sure to book it!
