City Sightseeing Split 3 Routes Bus Tour, Walking Tour + Fortress

It was a good sightseeing...

It was a good sightseeing of Split and the walking tour was very good. We wanted to go on the blue line but missed the bus. We were at the meeting place but for some reason we did not realize the bus that was leaving was the blue line. We thought it was the red line.

Response from the operator: Dear Customer, Thank you for sharing your experience with City Sightseeing Split! We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the sightseeing tour of Split and especially the walking tour. We’re sorry for the confusion regarding the Blue Line. We understand how frustrating it must have been to be at the meeting point and miss the departure because it wasn’t clear which bus was leaving. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as clear information about our different routes is essential for a smooth Hop-On Hop-Off experience. We hope you still had a wonderful time discovering Split and that we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you again on a future visit. Best regards, The City Sightseeing Split Team

Disappointing experience

A very disappointing experience unfortunately. Travelled into Split especially to use City Sightseeing bus as I usually find these such good value for money. Bought a 48 hour ticket and after initial confusion of pick up point (note Split has more than one bus station 🙄 and the live chat operator seemed helpful at first to guide me to the correct pick up point but then said they would just need a few minutes to check something and then never got back to me even though I could see my questions were being seen). We eventually took the hop on hop off bus for the hour tour. It poured with rain and we had to sit inside so didn’t see much so just thought we would do the tour again the following day. We then waited an hour and a half for the sunset tour bus only to see it leave early so we missed it. Went on live chat again straight away and was told I could email to get a refund which I did and we gave up the idea of using the bus for a second day. However after 3 days of back and forward emails to customer services they refused the refund, if I had known this was going to be the outcome then I would have used the second day. I would suggest that if a tour is advertised for a certain time, especially when there is only one trip a day then it really should not be departing before the advertised time. This experience (and the fact I’m £40 out of pocket) has left me feeling very disappointed in City Sightseeing.

AVOID Not a Hop-On Hop-Off CHEAPER to get a taxi

Total rip off. A taxi would have been cheaper at 20Euros each way, to the cruise ship. We got off the Marella Explorer 2 Cruise Ship and got on the bus after breakfast, we paid 50Euros each for a ticket and decided to get off at stop 7 (last stop) on red line to check out St. Francis Church and Monastery, which was lovely. We asked about doing the blue route when the bus arrived, she said we wouldn't have time to do this, so I asked about the green route, the lady said that bus would be along in 1hr 20mins. She said there would be an additional cost for one of the lines, I think it was 10Euros. The return time was a bit too close to when the ship was departing, so I said we may as well go back to the ship, the lady said it would take us 10 mins to walk and pointed in the direction. So we paid 50Euros for a bus trip to a church and walked back! Looking afterwards at the map they give you, Red Line has 7 stops and departs hourly from 10am - 4pm, Blue Line departs 15.30 only and returns 9pm, Green Line departs 12.15 only and returns 15.15. This is not the same as the hop on hop off buses we have travelled on worldwide, false advertising.

Excellent value for money and great scenery

We chose the 48 hour ticket and did the walking tour and green line on day one and the red line and blue line on day two. The tours are excellent value for money. KLIS fortress doubles up but on the second tour we sat at a pub for drinks

Great way to see Split and beyond

Comfortable, clean bus transporting us around Split on the red route, followed by a guided walking tour of the Diocletian’s Palace. Our tour guide Duju was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, humorous, clear and informative. The following day we took the blue route to Trogir, the olive oil museum and Klis, all of which were very enjoyable. Duju accompanied us again, and gave us important cultural and historical information, particularly about Trogir and Klis, which set us up well for our free time at each location. The 48hr ticket was fantastic value for money.

Response from the operator: ear Janet, Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed both the Split and extended routes, and that the combination of the red and blue lines, together with the walking tours, made your experience so complete. It’s especially great to know that Duju made such a positive impact on your visit with his knowledge, humour and clear explanations — we will make sure to pass your kind words on to him. We are also very happy that you found the 48-hour ticket to be good value and that you enjoyed visiting Diocletian’s Palace, Trogir and Klis. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon on another of our tours!
