What travelers are saying

"I have travelled with ROW numerous times, including four trips on the Rogue River. Every trip has been wonderful and every person associated with ROW has been nice, knowledgeable, professional and fun. The Rogue is a great river and the trip is an excellent one for two people or a large group—and I have done both. I’ve taken both of my kids, one time each, and have organized groups of colleagues twice; most recently in 2019 when 14 of us gathered. The guides at ROW are great and help to make the trip very enjoyable. The scenery, lodging and the wonderful outdoors including warm air and refreshing water, make for a wonderful escape from the everyday routine. The fact that this trip offers beds and indoor plumbing is a nice benefit and allows those who have an aversion to camping a chance to see the wilderness. I have recommended ROW and the Rogue trip more times than I can count and my group has already reserved our trip for 2021. What are you waiting for?"

What travelers are saying

"Our family of four, including two adult children, took the Bicycling: Day Trips to Paradise in Canada. This trip is entirely outsourced to the owners of the inn, there are no Road Scholar employees involved in the trip. Two of us have taken bicycle trips all over the world and the bicycling component of this trip was disorganized, haphazard and almost unsafe. We all filled out forms giving details regarding our bicycle fitting months before the trip. On the first day, the leader Stephen, went around the room and asked the same questions and said everyone would get fitted in the morning before we began the first ride. The morning brought a rack of bikes, all different types in various levels of readiness. There were road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes. The rides were all on paved surfaces and the mountain bikes were heavy and the additional suspension added weight. The bike I received had rust on the chain and rear sprocket. When I asked about it, was told they were waiting for another van to show up with tools and equipment. Once it arrived, they gave me the lubricant to spray on the rust. My wife’s bike would not shift into the high gear on the front sprocket. Instead of adjusting the derailleur, they suggested spraying it with lubricant. Our one son is over six feet and needed a larger frame bike, even though he detailed it in the bike form months ago, there was no bike to fit him. One of the guides, then went home and brought a larger bike that was a full suspension mountain bike for him. The bike was very heavy, hard to control on the road and he felt unsafe. After two days, one of the guides convinced Stephen that they could adjust a hybrid bike to fit him. Clearly there was no work done to prepare the bikes for the trip. Many of the bikes needed adjusting and all needed lubricant to function easily. For every day, there was a tray of snacks placed out for us to take along the ride. None of the bikes had any baskets or attached bags, so if you didn’t bring a small day pack, there was no way to carry the snacks. For lunch on the rides, they brought exactly one sandwich for each rider. Since most of us get hungry while doing a day of exercise, it would have been helpful to have a few extras. On one day, they ran out of sandwiches and one of the leaders that were riding with us did not get lunch. Do NOT take this trip if you are expecting it to be a bicycling trip. We have used VBT and Discovery Bicycle Tours many times over the past 25 years and they are excellent bike tour companies. Lastly, after sharing these details with Road Scholar after the trip, their response was weak at best. After doing the full reviews and having to call them, their response was to give us $200 credit after spending $8000 on this trip. Not only was that insulting, they assumed that I would take another trip with their organization."

What travelers are saying

"We booked in February via TripMasters for a trip to Italy in June. Everything was confirmed in February, after our payment. However, in May, right before our trip, we were told that our hotel in Venice had become unavailable. This is from the email sent by TripMasters : "We were just informed that Sant`Antonin Hotel will not be able to honor our reservation that is why our vendor is offering the following alternative properties that is a free upgrade to 4 stars Hotel: 1st Option: Novotel Venezia Mestre Castellana - Upgrade to 4**** Via Alfredo Ceccherini 21, Mestre, VE, 30174, ITA Room type: Family Room, 1 Double Bed with Sofa bed Bedding type: 1 Double Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed 2nd Option: Hotel Mercure Venezia Marghera - Upgrade to 4**** Via Malamocco 14, Mestre, VE, 30175, ITA Room type: Starndar, Multiple Beds 2 Twin Beds and 1 Double Sofa Bed Note that these rooms are not booked yet. We need your approval. Please let us know if you accept, or if you need further information do not hesitate to contact us." Neither hotel has the traditional style we were looking for, so we declined and scrambled to find among the much more limited inventory than when we booked our trip in February an acceptable alternative. It's only until we finished our trip and got to know the area better did we realize how far away the two alternative options TripMasters are from Venice (>1 hour each way to Venice via public transportation) and how much cheaper they are compared with our original choice (right in the center of Venice and has stellar reviews). We just felt lucky that we didn't take the bait and fell into their trap. Otherwise, our trip would have been ruined. It's quite blatant when they had the gut to mention this in their email: "a free upgrade to 4 stars Hotel" without disclosing the much different location of the two alternatives. We dislike being treated so dishonestly and will never use them again."

Additional details

Split is the central and largest city in the Dalmatian Coast and the second largest city in Croatia. Visitors to Split use the city as their embarking city to tour the Croatian coastline or as a base point for day trips to the surrounding countryside.

Including a few days in Split at the beginning or end of your trip to Croatia will provide a look into how Croatia’s past and present has converged. Split includes activities for all travelers whether you are looking for history, food, adventure, or a relaxing stroll next to the sea.

Weather in Split, Croatia

Split maintains a typical Mediterranean climate, like most of southern Croatia. The summers are very warm and dry and the winters are cool and wet. The shoulder seasons are pleasant with plenty of sun and moderate temperatures. The weather in Split can vary from day to day. Including layers and an umbrella are essential items to include in your packing list.

The best time to visit Split is between May and October. These months are the high season for both Split and the Dalmatian Coast and provides the best weather for day trips, beaches, and tours. Try to avoid July and August as those will be the hottest and busiest months of the year.

Dalmatian Coast Cruises

Split is the largest city on the Dalmatian Coast, and thus is the where many Croatian and Dalmatian Coast guided tours begin. With its bustling harbor and port, the city maintains a constant flow of tourists and goods during the year.

Croatian voyages leave Split to explore the Croatian islands since Split is only a short trip away from a few of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic -- Hvar, Broc, and Korcula. These tours are typically on large cruise ships or smaller yachts.

However, for travelers who are not traveling with large cruise lines or tours can still visit the islands. Ferries run between Split and many of the islands off the coast. For a more personal tour, you can also charter a boat from the marina to hop between islands. These boats range in style and price depending on how long your trip is and what level of comfort you are looking for.

Is Split Safe to Visit?

Overall, Croatia is a safe destination for travelers. Major crimes are low in Split. However, it is important to remember that since Split is a major tourist destination, pickpocketing is common, especially around the main attractions of Diocletian’s Palace and the Riva, Split’s waterfront.

Additionally, travelers should be cautious of scams and overcharging. This is most common in bars, restaurants, and tour guides. Make sure you pay attention to your receipt and it’s best to use an approved or certified tour company when looking for tour guides in the area.

Split for Families

Split has a wide variety of attractions for families of all types and interests. Well-supplied with history, museums, and beaches, there is plenty to keep everyone in the family entertained on your trip to Split.

1. Beaches

Split has countless beaches for families to enjoy the Croatian sunshine and fun. Many of the beaches are only a short walk from the old town and others, only a bus ride away. Some of the beaches are sandy and perfect for sunbathing, while others are more rocky and pebbly. A few of the most popular beaches are Trstenik, Bacvice, and Bene.

2. Walking tours

Split is made up of a conglomeration of different civilizations. The powerful empires of Rome, Venice, and the Ottoman Turks all inhabited this coastal area one point in history. Daily walking tours are offered by companies to show you around the old town and give you a peek into Split’s culture.

3. Marjan Forest Park

Marjan Forest Park is a forested hill that sits on the Split peninsula just a 20-minute walk from the old town. The park offers activities such as bike riding, hiking, kayaking, and rock climbing. Also next to the hill are some of the cities most important museums, such as the Museum of Croatian Archeological Monuments and the Ivan Mestrovic Gallery.

4. Froggyland

Froggyland is a taxidermy museum that showcases over 500 frogs taking part in everyday human activities. Frogs can be seen sewing, giving music lessons, and partaking in water sports. If you are looking for an unusual and quirky activity, then you will love the uniqueness of this remarkable museum.
