    A Wonderful Experience with Croatia Awaits

    We had an outstanding experience working with Jelena and Croatia Awaits during our trip to Croatia. From the beginning, Jelena was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive to the details that made our trip so enjoyable. Jelena personally gave us a wonderful tour of Diocletian’s Palace and the Old Town of Split. Her knowledge of the history and culture of Split really brought the city to life. She also arranged a private tour of Trogir, which was another highlight of our time in Croatia. One of our favorite days was the excursion Jelena organized to Krka National Park and Bibich Winery. Everything was thoughtfully planned and flowed seamlessly, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the experience. Jelena was also extremely helpful with restaurant recommendations in both Split and Hvar and even assisted us with making a reservation. She also gave us excellent advice on visiting Marjan Hill, which turned out to be a real highlight of our time in Split and something we never would have thought to do on our own. Her recommendations were consistently spot on and added so much to our trip. What impressed us most was the personal attention Jelena provided throughout the planning process. She clearly takes pride in creating special experiences for her clients, and her knowledge of Croatia and genuine enthusiasm for the country came through in everything she arranged for us. We would highly recommend Croatia Awaits and Jelena to anyone planning a trip to Croatia. She helped make our vacation truly special, and we would absolutely use her services again on a future visit.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful review. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay in Croatia so much. It was a pleasure to create these unforgettable experiences for you. Thank you. Best wishes, Jelena Vrancic, CEO at Croatia Awaits

    A great guide

    Jelena is so good. We had 2 teenagers with us, and she was always engaging with them. She worked had to keep their attention. Her energy and smile are infectious. She took us to her favorite coffee shop in town. And we stopped for some chocolate along the way…for the kids. Book with Jelena.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, Tim. I loved how interested in history of the palace all of you were. I truly enjoyed showing you the city. Coffee and chocolate are always nice to take a short break and have a little chat. Enjoy Hvar! All the best to you all! Jelena @Croatia Awaits

    The Best of Split Private Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.

    How much does The Best of Split Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $184 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 The Best of Split Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 The Best of Split Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 357 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 The Best of Split Private Tour?

    +

    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 The Best of Split Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Best of Split Private Tour?

    +

    Around 125 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Best of Split Private Tour 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.
