Eco tuk-tuk tour · Pickup in Šibenik
This 2-hour eco tuk-tuk tour picks you up in Šibenik and drives up to Barone, St Michael's and St John's fortresses with every entry included, then rolls through the old town to the Cathedral of St James. The reason to book it: you get all three hilltop views in one go without climbing a single steep lane, in a group of no more than 12.
Šibenik climbs. The old town is a stack of stone stairs, and its three land fortresses sit on the hills above it, each one a stiff walk from the waterfront in summer heat. This tour solves that with an electric tuk-tuk. The driver collects you within the city, Amadria Park included, and takes the easy way up. Guests keep coming back to that point: one writes that it is a great way to visit all the fortresses without having to climb the steep hills.
The first stop is the Dražen Petrović monument and playground, where the driver tells the story of the Šibenik-born basketball star. Then come the fortresses. Barone, built in 1646 on Vidakuša hill and reopened in 2016, has an augmented-reality tour of the town's past. St Michael's, the medieval fort right above the old town, reopened in 2014, and its open-air summer stage is now a big part of the town's cultural life. St John's, on the hill to the north, was built with Barone during the Cretan War and held off the Ottoman attacks of 1646 and 1647. Entry to all three is included. Fortress of Culture Šibenik charges €11.50 for St Michael's, €11.50 for Barone and St John's together, or €15 for all three on one combined adult ticket in 2026, open 09:00 to 17:00.
On the way down you pass Poljana, the main square with its water clock and bronze town model, then Dolac, the oldest quarter, and the Riva waterfront. The tour ends at the cathedral. The Cathedral of St James was built between 1431 and 1536 and consecrated in 1555, entirely of stone, with a frieze of 71 carved heads around the apses. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. The listing has 4.8 stars from 94 reviews, and guests name the guide Francesco most often. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before lets you book now and decide on the weather later.
The tuk-tuk collects you at your hotel or an agreed point within the city. Amadria Park at Solaris is included in the pickup area.
An easy ride through town to the monument and playground for Croatia's great basketball player, with stories of his years at the local club.

★★★★★Our guide was fantastic, took us to the fortress’s, Cathedral and all around Šibenik. Very knowledgeable, polite and great English. Would highly recommend as it’s a great way to visit all fortress’s without having to climb up steep hills, tour includes entrance fees and we were picked up and dropped off from our hotel.
★★★★★It was a very cool tour. Our guide was very friendly, laid-back, told us a lot, and drove to the most important spots. The time spent at the various locations was ideal, neither too long nor too short. 100% recommended.
★★★★★Our guide was on time. Fransico( hope thats right) was a wealth of knowledge and very passionate about his homeland (and rightly so) he gave us plenty of time to explore the points of interest.
★★★★★Francesco was a great guide. Thoroughly enjoyed. Spectacular views. lots of interesting information. Thank you
