Retro e-car city tour · Gat Krka, Šibenik waterfront
This 45-minute ride in an open-top retro electric car loops from the Krka pier up to St John's Fortress and the town's best viewpoints, with photo stops and a driver who knows every story. It is the cheapest guided tour on this site and the quickest way to see how Šibenik fits together, with no walking uphill.
Šibenik is steep, and its best views sit at the top of long flights of steps. This tour gets you there in an open retro e-car with a driver-guide, in 45 minutes, for 2 to 14 people. It starts and ends at Gat Krka, the pier on Obala hrvatske mornarice, right on the waterfront. Guests sum it up well: one calls it a quick and easy way to get to know a city that is quite steep.
The itinerary is short and clear. Ten minutes in the car brings you to St John's Fortress for a five-minute photo stop. Fifteen more minutes take you round to a second viewpoint, which guests describe as the highest point over the town, then a ten-minute ride brings you back to the pier. Along the way you see the Cathedral of St James and the waterfront from the road, and the driver fills in a thousand years of history.
With 4.9 stars from 158 reviews, it is the most-reviewed of the town tours on this site. Guests most often name the driver Ivan, and also Will and Johnny. The open car keeps you cool on hot days, and the low price makes it an easy first-day booking. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

★★★★★We loved this tour, which lets you discover Šibenik and its magnificent landscapes in a truly original way. The small, open-top retro car adds a lot of charm to the experience and allows you to fully enjoy the views along the way. [...] It was a wonderful way to discover the city and its surroundings without being limited to the historic center.
★★★★★Our guide Ivan was great. As a true local, he knew the ins and outs of the city. We drove to a few well known spots (e.g. the highest viewpoint and fortress) [...] The city is quite steep, so I highly recommend this activity if you're looking for a quick and easy way to get to know the city.
★★★★★I wouldn't change a thing. The old town of Šibenik is a beautiful place, full of narrow streets and beautiful architecture. The tour guide Ivan was amazing. Friendly and fun, of course, with plenty of information.
★★★★★Aka Johnny was very friendly and knowledgeable. Spectacular views and scenery and a lovely way to see the town and keep cool.
