Makarska by electric tuk tuk: panoramic city views, St. Peter stop, olive oil tasting in an olive grove, plus local sweets.
“We went on a tuk-tuk trip and had a really great time! Our driver was very friendly, helpful, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. At first, we thought the trip would be around Makarska with olive oil tasting, but it turned out that this particular tour takes place in the evening and goes to the Skywalk instead. In the end, we absolutely loved it – the views were amazing and the whole ride was so much fun. We’d happily do it again! Highly recommended 👍”
