Split Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tours

HomeHop-on Hop-off Split Bus Tours

What is a Hop-on Hop-off tour?

A Hop-on Hop-off tour is a sightseeing service where buses (or sometimes boats) follow a set route with multiple stops at popular attractions. You can hop off at any stop to explore, then hop back on the next bus when you’re ready to continue. Your ticket is usually valid for the whole day, so you can ride the entire loop for a panoramic overview or break it up into shorter segments to explore at your own pace.
