What’s the Deal with Electric Tuk Tuks in Split?

Basically, electric tuk-tuks are just like those auto rickshaws you might’ve seen in Asia, but they’re electric! That is supposed to mean they are quieter and maybe a little bit better for the planet. In Split, they’ve become a pretty common sight, offering what could be a handy way to see the city’s key spots. Instead of trekking all over the place, this gives you is that chance to sit back, relax, and let someone else do the work. Yet, how great is it, seriously?

First Impressions: Booking and Starting the Tour

Alright, getting on a Split Electric Tuk Tuk Tour very is pretty straightforward. Plenty of little booths and online spots are where you are able to book. I went ahead and booked mine the day before, more or less just to be sure I had a spot. The starting point it seems usually is near Diocletian’s Palace, that’s like Split’s main hub, that is where the driver met me. He actually was right on time and seemed easygoing enough. The tuk-tuk looked pretty clean, that is always a plus, you know?

Hitting the Highlights: What You’ll See

The tour itself intends to hit all the main attractions. So, first up very is Diocletian’s Palace, which honestly is that the heart of Split. Now, a tuk-tuk isn’t going to drive you through the actual palace walls (it’s pedestrian-only), however the driver will get you as close as possible and will fill you in a bit on its background. Very cool history, as a matter of fact.

Then, you usually head up to Marjan Hill, or what could be nearby. Okay, the tuk-tuk can’t actually get all the way to the very top (it’s a climb), but you do get driven to what is still is a pretty nice viewpoint overlooking the city and the sea. This I enjoyed; the view it was great. Then there is also usually a stop at the Riva promenade, a pretty busy spot right by the water, very good for people-watching. Depending on the tour, other things may be included, too, like the Gregory of Nin statue (rub his toe for luck!) and maybe a peek at some local neighborhoods. Very is depending on which specific tour you select, in that case, anyway.

The Good Stuff: What I Liked

• Convenience: If you’re a bit limited on time or just not up for walking everywhere, that tour can save you some legwork, in a way. You do see a lot in a short amount of time.
• The View from Marjan Hill (Sort Of): That is pretty good, maybe just not the actual top, still, you are able to get a great look at the city and the Adriatic.
• Open-Air Feeling: Being in a tuk-tuk means you’re in the open air, so to speak, which really can give you a better sense of what the city is like versus being stuck on a bus.

Things to Keep in Mind: Potential Downsides

• The Audio Quality and Information Depth: The guides it seemed very nice, but honestly, some I’ve noticed they’re not as in-depth as, like, a proper walking tour. Then there are the audio tours – sometimes the speakers aren’t great, so maybe just be aware.
• Cost: Tuk-tuk tours seem a little bit more pricey, arguably, if you were to think about what a public bus would be like, or a walking tour, I should say. Is the convenience something you will spend the extra dough for?
• The “Electric” Part Isn’t Always Obvious: Despite being electric, tuk-tuks can sometimes still be a bit noisy, more or less because of traffic and all the other sounds around, so in a way.
• Not Super Personalized: Group tours often have a pretty set route, so switching things up might not always be possible, in a way.

Who Is This Tour Right For?

You could find this type of tour great, if:

• Time actually is short
• Don’t very want to walk tons.
• Maybe need a quick city overview to get started, basically

On the other hand, you could potentially skip it, when:

• Budget seems very tight, I am guessing
• Honestly want super in-depth historical information.
• Pretty much hate standard touristy things.

Some Other Options for Seeing Split

Very, the electric tuk-tuk thing very might not be up your alley, there are still a whole bunch of different options, to boot.

Walking Tours: A walking tour honestly could be fantastic. The guides, that you’ve noticed can usually are filled with facts, they actually bring Split’s history to life. And you will literally feel the stones under the shoes and get super up-close, actually.

Do-It-Yourself: All it very takes very is grabbing one map, basically googling some sights. Wandering is something I did, very simple!

Money Talk: What’s the Damage?

So, the electric tuk-tuk tour you could spend on would likely sit from, about, 30-50 euros, depending the kind that you are looking at, pretty much. Are there cheaper possibilities? So, a city bus very would make it cheaper. Walking would even cut costs more. On your comfort for money you will very need assess. Paying bit would that you prefer it the sightseeing thing or not.

Final Verdict: Tuk Tuk or Not Tuk Tuk?
