Croatia · TUK-TUKS
Good tuk-tuk tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride above Dubrovnik in a small electric tuk-tuk with guides such as Maro, Dinko, Vito, or Toni. Stop at Franjo Tudjman Bridge and Mount Srđ for Old Town views, hilltop ruins, crosses, and 20 minutes near the upper cable-car station. Pickup is offered in Dubrovnik.
“Super fun and my host Dinko was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all things Dubrovnik! Great intro to the city before choosing what to do…”
In two hours, a licensed English-speaking guide such as Joe, Jakov, Marko, or Nino takes you by quiet electric tuk-tuk from Bačvice Beach and Diocletian’s Palace to Vidilica, Marjan Hill, Sustipan, and the Riva. Hotel and cruise-terminal pickup are available in Split.
“We love Split definitely the best destination by far The Tuk tuk experience gave us alot of laughs”
Travel from Makarska to Biokovo Skywalk in an open electric tuk-tuk with guides such as Tino, Luka, Marin, and Davor. Expect two photo stops, views over the Adriatic islands, cherry liqueur, Croatian chocolate, blankets if it gets chilly, and skip-the-line entry at the 1,228-meter glass walkway.
“Good driver, good stops, water and orange juice enough on Bord, a jacket id needed, the sight on the skywalk is great”
Take an open electric tuk-tuk from Makarska into Biokovo Nature Park and up to the glass Skywalk at 1,228 meters. Guides such as Luka, Tino, Dominik, Roko, and Marin are known for careful driving, local stories, blankets, photo stops, and Croatian cherry liqueur with chocolate.
“A thoroughly enjoyable experience- our guide was helpful and knowledgeable, very relaxed allowing us to spend as long as we needed to take photos or see the animals - the chocolates and cherry liquor were a delicious surprise!”
Explore Split beyond Diocletian’s Palace in an electric tuk-tuk with a guide such as Luka, Marino, Tony, or Emir. The route links the Riva, Marjan viewpoints, Sustipan, beaches, Poljud Stadium, and Republic Square. Small groups, several departure times, and cruise-port pickup make it a useful first look at the city.
“First, the tour operator texted & asked to move my scheduled excursion from 12:00pm to 2pm. He said if you cannot push the tour forward 2 hours you can cancel - we didn't want to cancel but the heat was 103 degrees the later the day went on - the tour was supposed to be 2 1/2 hours but was really only an hour - the guide was boring and took us to not such great places. Not as expected at all!”
Join a small electric tuk-tuk tour from Dubrovnik to Mount Srd, stopping at the Franjo Tudjman Bridge and three viewpoints above the Old Town. Guides such as Ante, Tony, Peter, and John share local history, while blankets, cushions, and wine or juice make the sunset stop comfortable.
“What an incredible experience. The sunset was gorgeous and we savored every second. Mario was so knowledgeable and even told us where we should grab dinner afterwards - spoiler alert: it was amazing! Would definitely recommend!”
Ride through Zadar with local guides such as Rocco, Luka, Joseph, and Simon. This 90 to 120-minute eco tuk tuk tour includes pickup in the city or at Zadar Port, the Land Gate, Sphinx, Sea Organ, Greeting to the Sun, St. Donatus, and the Roman Forum.
“It was about 2 hours which was perfect. Covered a lot during that time. Very informative and our guide Lawrence was awesome!”
Pick a harbour, a rampart or a waterfall.
