The engine coughs to life and the Adriatic breeze nudges your jacket as a line of small, yellow Tomos mopeds threads the palm-fringed Riva. Riding these compact Croatian icons, you feel the city’s pace — a mix of sea-smoothed calm and sudden urban pulse — as your guide steers you from Poljud’s stadium lights up into the pine-scented slopes of Marjan.

The engine coughs to life and the Adriatic breeze nudges your jacket as a line of small, yellow Tomos mopeds threads the palm-fringed Riva. Riding these compact Croatian icons, you feel the city’s pace — a mix of sea-smoothed calm and sudden urban pulse — as your guide steers you from Poljud’s stadium lights up into the pine-scented slopes of Marjan.
Tomos mopeds were woven into everyday life across Dalmatia in the 1980s: postmen, students and grandparents all rode the same stubby machines that locals called “Koze” (goats) for their distinctive sound. The tour pairs that social history with Split’s deeper past — glimpses of Diocletian’s palace substructures, a UNESCO-listed Roman heart; Ivan Meštrović’s gallery, where 20th-century sculpture meets the Mediterranean light; and quieter corners like Kasjuni bay and Vidilica viewpoint.
Expect short, manageable bursts of riding on cobbled streets and coastal roads, with frequent stops for photos and local stories. Small groups (max eight) keep the pace relaxed; the operator provides a short moped orientation at Poljud and serves coffee and craft juice at a local kafic.
Practical essentials: bring a valid driving license recognized in Croatia, closed-toe shoes and a lightweight jacket for the hilltop breeze. Morning or late-afternoon departures dodge the midday heat and crowded promenades. Cobblestones and narrow alleys demand attention — ride conservatively, keep hydration handy, and let the guide pick the lines through the old town. This is equal parts urban history lesson and hands-on vintage transport experience, best for travelers who want a low‑impact, high-character way to see Split.

Tomos mopeds became a Balkan staple in the late 20th century; Split’s historic core grew around Diocletian’s 4th-century palace, now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Marjan Park and local beaches are actively managed—respect trail closures, avoid littering, and stick to marked paths to protect native pine and coastal scrub.
