A great way to get around and learn about the city quickly. - The guides were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and made it a lot of fun. We had 1 hour in Split to see everything and this was the best way to do it.

Nice but bit pricey. - Booked a 1 hour tour. Nice way to get a taste of Split but felt we saw predominantly the sea front. Found it slightly difficult to hear what our guide was saying as we obviously sat behind her. She was very nice though and stopped wherever we wanted for pictures during the trip. I do think that it’s rather overpriced at £105 for two for an hour on an electric bike. Prices going up even more in school holidays. Personal opinion.

Mario is the BEST! - My husband and I had a wonderful four hour tour with Mario. He was funny, energetic and seem to know everybody. He showed us various sites and offered us multiple stops to take pictures, have a coffee or just look around. We saw areas that most people on other tours would never have the opportunity to see. We really found him to be entertaining, a true joy, and he’s fairly priced. What a wonderful adventure this was!

Save some steps and let someone else drive you! - This was a great way to see some of the highlights of Split without a lot of walking. We went for 60 minutes. We had my 85 year old mother and slam other family member who recently had a knee replacement. The tour guides were very friendly. The only constructive feedback is that there’s a big difference between tour guides. Some were more knowledgeable and talkative than others.

It was just ok. Overpriced - We did the 60 minute tour. Although our guide was pleasant enough and the meeting point easy to find from the cruise port I didn’t feel it was good value for money. We didn’t really learn much about Split, to be honest the tour was a little boring. I would have been happy to pay half of what it cost. It was nice to have a breeze on your face though as some respite from the heat!
