You’ll explore the very best spots in and around Diocletian’s Palace, with your local licensed guide.

City tour Trogir
City tour Trogir

Free time until afternoon when your driver and guide will take you a short distance outside of Split to Trogir – a treasury of cultural and historical monuments dating as far back as the 4th Century BC. Set on a small island just off the mainland, Trogir was first settled by the ancient Greeks, before falling under the Romans and later the Byzantines. Destroyed by the Saracens and abandoned in the 12th Century, thanks to its strategic location the town was soon revived and became an artistic and cultural center under the Austro-Hungarians and later the Venetians

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Old Town Trogir is surrounded by a fortress wall with two gates and is connected to the mainland by a bridge. Your guide will show you the Gradska loza (the Old City Hall) from the 15th Century, the city walls, and the Kamerlengo Castle, which was once the residence of the Venetian governor. On the sea-side of the island, you may see the Sea Gate, which was built in the 16th Century, and the nearby old fish market, located in an open loggia, surrounded by a colonnade. After sightings we are moving forward for lunch in local restaurant.

Wine tasting Sikuli

Life&Ventures: Aerial view on town Hvar, Island of Hvar, Croatia

This day we are leaving Split to the Island of Hvar with a Catamaran boat (1 hour drive). A Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea, Hvar is a popular destination with tourists due to its natural setting, mild climate, and its historic port town of the same name. Highlights of Hvar town include its 13th-century walls, a hilltop fortress, and the main square anchored by the Renaissance-era Cathedral. We take you for a wine tasting adventure exploring the wine roads in a half day wine tour! Learn all about a winery you choose and taste popular wines in an authentic cellar. Witness how much the winemaking tradition was important as far back as from old Greeks and Romans, who lived on this island 300 years BC. This calming tour is for curious wine enthusiasts who love scenic landscapes and are open for new experiences and great wines. Followed by lunch on your own – transfer to Hvar town. Return in Split late afternoon. Overnight at your hotel. (B)

Matilda is the best! Sep 2025 • Friends Myself and two lady friends just returned from a 10 day trip to Croatia. We're late 60's / early 70's and are very active. But we didn't want to drive or spend a ton of time researching sites to visit or hotels. We were fortunate to find Matilda Kežić of Majestic Croatia DMC. She is amazing. She planned everything for us...transportation, hotels, small group tours, even restaurants. We had car service from / to every point on our trip, which was important to us. We worked with Matilda via email and zoom on all the details. She kept in touch with us every day via Whats Up Chat. When we were running late for a tour in Dubrovnik (we took a really wrong turn while walking to the meeting site), I messaged Matilda who got in touch work our tour guide. Seamless support! We saw all the standard sites in Zagreb, Zadar, Plitvice National Park, Split, Togir, and Dubrovnik. And I wanted to stop in Ogulin, where my grandparents lived before emigrating to the US. No problem. She also recommended a not-typical visit to the Neretva Valley including a visit to the Argo Ento park. There we had a boat ride on a pristine lake, lunch, and visited their new, small but very authentic cultural heritage museum. Matilda even personally drove us to a few points and joined us on a few tours. It was so special to have a knowledgeable, delightful Croatian accompany us. If you are looking for a fabulous travel agent to customize your tour and maximize your enjoyment, I highly recommend her.

Thank You Matilda!✨ MUST BOOK FOR HONEYMOON May 2025 • Couples Wow. Matilda was SUCH a pleasure to work with during our trip to Croatia. Not only is she the sweetest person ever but she is so knowledgeable of the area. Her customer service was also so warm and welcoming. She makes you feel like family. - she's so proud of the country, genuinely loves what she does, and was patient and kind. She was on time for every excursion and communicated detail for detail. She knows the best winery's, local places to grab food, best views of Krka Waterfalls and everything in between. Meeting her was a highlight of our honeymoon. With Matilda, you're in good Hands!

Croatia is magnificent especially when you have Matilda planning your trip. Our 12-day adventure took us from the charming wineries in Plešivica to the white-water rafting and beautiful beaches in Split to the rich history of Dubrovnik. It was a once-in-a-lifetime, unforgettable experience. Matilda met with us via Zoom to understand our preferences for accommodations and sightseeing. She then crafted an itinerary with recommendations which we refined together. She orchestrated every detail beautifully, from boutique hotels with decadent breakfasts to uniquely guided city and food tours, ensuring the perfect mix of culture, relaxation, and adventure. She handled all the details from transfers, hotels, private tours, transportation throughout Croatia and Slovenia, including restaurant suggestions. All we had to do was book our airline reservations and show up. Matilda and our personal driver, Mate, were available throughout our trip to answer any questions. Mate wasn’t just our driver—he was an es. We fell in love with Croatia, Matilda and Mate made it even more special.

Unique and incredibly experienced! Apr 2025 Matilda made our trip extra special. From the fresh strawberries and Rakija to start our boat tour on the lakes, to the amazing lunch we had to top of our day, it was all incredible! We saw wild life and beautiful scenery on the lakes and learned about the area. It was such a nice addition while in the way to Dubrovnik. We could not recommend this tour and Matilda enough. She also recommended a great winery to stop at on the rest of journey to Dubrovnik. It was absolutely fantastic. Thank you!!
