Split to Dubrovnik
From the moment we landed we were greeted with an amazing driver, guide and historian. His name is Sime. He is a local of Split and is a true countryman. He drove us to the best views and recommended some wonderful restaurants that were absolutely fire. Sime was our driver but he should definitely be giving tours as well. Our tour guide, Marin, was excellent. English was just about perfect and he is also a local who is extremely knowledgeable of his city and country. Overall 10/10 experience.
Response from the operator: thank you for amazing review! we are happy to hear you had great time with our Sime and Marin

Perfect tour of ancient split. Must do while in split!
What a fantastic way to walk around ancient Split and learn so much. This town has a lot of history and our guide Marin was fantastic at explaining all of it. Great way to spend the morning walking around the sellers of Diocletian Palace. Great tour for any history buff. Highly recommended while in split.
Response from the operator: Thank you for great review! we are happy you had wonderful time in our beautiful city.

Highly recommend this agency!!
Perfecta Travel helped us with scheduling tours and transfers in Dubrovnik and Split. Ivan was our main contact who helped me all through the planning & execution process. He was responsive, patient, and very well organized. We are a family of five with kids ages 10, 13, & 16 and having Ivan’s assistance during our visit was so valuable. Everything was just so efficiently & professionally done. They arranged Dubrovnik city walls, cable car & old town walking tour, full-day blue cave & five island tour, culinary experience & walking tour in Split, and Mali Ston oyster tastings tour. They also arranged transfers between Dubrovnik & Split and ride to/from Krka national park to view waterfalls. I was especially concerned about the Covid test for our return flight but Ivan arranged for it to be completed after a tour & it went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend Perfecta for your Croatia visit.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking time to write such a wonderful and detailed review, our whole team will be very happy to read what you wrote. It was a pleasure having you on our tour and we are so glad you enjoyed yourself. We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. So thank you for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Paint Away: Ancient Salona Tour with Wine, Dine, and Delight!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Paint Away: Ancient Salona Tour with Wine, Dine, and Delight! cost?
+
Prices start at $230 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Split usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Paint Away: Ancient Salona Tour with Wine, Dine, and Delight! take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Split is not rushed.
Is Paint Away: Ancient Salona Tour with Wine, Dine, and Delight! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Paint Away: Ancient Salona Tour with Wine, Dine, and Delight!?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Paint Away: Ancient Salona Tour with Wine, Dine, and Delight! suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Paint Away: Ancient Salona Tour with Wine, Dine, and Delight!?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Split can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Split and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paint Away: Ancient Salona Tour with Wine, Dine, and Delight! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Split within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Split?
+
On Outty we rank every Split experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister of History, Split Walking Tour with Professor of History, From Split: Krka Waterfalls, Food & Wine Tasting Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Split?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Split?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
