Here’s a great tour combination for you, Salona and Fortress of Klis Tour!

First, a car, van, or minibus will take you to the remains of the ancient Salona, where you will gaze upon the ruins of a once great Roman city. It was founded after the Roman civil war under Julius Caesar and it was a striving town, three times bigger than Pompeii. Today, Solin is a beautiful town, popular with both locals and tourists.

Afterward, you will visit the Fortress of Klis, a fort with the best view of Split and the surrounding areas. With a history of more than 2000 years, it started as an Illyrian tribe called Dalmatae that used it as a stronghold before it was occupied by the Romans. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the site became a seat for Croatian kings. The famous series Game Of Thrones was filmed there, so if you are a fan, this is a must!

We had an excellent morning exploring Klis and Salona with Mario. He was a terrific guide, knowledgeable and attentive. Kilos is an incredible fortress and well worth the visit. Salona was very interesting. Mario brought the history to life - amazing!

Fantastic half day trip to salona and klis fortress. Mario was extremely knowledgeable and catered to our requests without hesitation. We were more interested in the history side of things and boy did we learn a lot. If you are looking for a super easy and smooth half day trip without worrying about crowds, this will be your kinda tour. Highlight was wearing some of the armour and the views from the fortress. Punctual, clean car, smooth ride and a super easy day considering what you see.

Mario was very informative with the history of Split and relayed this in a fun story that my 13 year old really enjoyed. Very flexible and adaptable to the pouring rain. Thanks.. we certainly need to return to learn and enjoy so much more.

Our guide Marija was an extremely kind and highly knowledgeable History graduate. Local to Split with specialised knowledge. She put my 15 year old at ease and she was very easy to talk to. Bonus common sense approach that during a heatwave Marija swapped the program to start at Klis (rather than Salona) to get there early in the morning to avoid the worst of the heat. Both sites incredible if you like classical civilisation. We visited in early July and had both places to almost ourselves. We like walking but took advantage of being able to jump in the air-con van to get from the main Salona site to the amphitheater (it would have been 20 mins there and 20 mins back in 30+ degree Celsius). It was not our reason for visiting but if you’re a Game of Thrones fan - then you’ll be extra excited to have visited the Klis Fortress. Salona is like a mini Pompeii with just as much cultural significance.

Mario was a wonderful guide and really knew the history of the area. He answered all our questions and was very patient with us. He really took his time. We never felt rushed. The van was very comfortable and clean. We would definitely recommend and hope we can take another tour with him in the future.

This was a great tour! Mario is one of the best tour guides you can get, he knows so much about the history here and we learned so much, laughter is a guaranteed thing if you are on a tour with him and I would recommend booking a private tour. We went to Solana and Klis and also he took some of his time to show us some churches. I totally recommend booking this tour
