Review of Split’s Klis Fortress sunset tour, with open-top bus, sweeping views, audio guide, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“We booked this last minute but we're so glad we did. Was very lovely, since it was so late we were basically the only people there so it wasn't crowded. The guide was very friendly and helpful and gave some extra info and tips on the sights. The bus was open top so it was nice to see the sites while going there. On the journey to the fortress there was also a little audio guide on Split and the fortress which was also interesting.”

Also, we then found out the price paied was only for the drive - which can be bought for 1/3 if you go by buss. Going by buss is safe - and will not be cancelled!”
