“Daniela was knowledgeable, thoughtful and charming. One of our party is currently struggling a bit with mobility and she caterers for this very sensitively. It also meant the walk took longer and we overran. She was very generous with her time. This was a real highlight of our trip.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 283 reviews · 1 month · from $14Best value

Start at Stella Croatica for a guided visit to its Olive Museum, Mediterranean gardens, tastings, and natural cosmetics. Then drive four minutes to Klis Fortress, where you explore at your own pace, watch a history video, spot Game of Thrones locations, and take in wide views over Split. English tours run about every 30 minutes.

“The guide at the olive museum was very good. We enjoyed the tour and the product sampling at the end, and purchased a few of our favourite items! The Klis Fort was self-guided, but well laid out for tourists to understand the history and GOT filming relevance. Not sure if it’s normal, but there were no crowds so it was easy to get good pics. Klis has a very high vantage point over Split and area!! We Uber’ed to the locations and back to port area easily. Good day.”
