Local guide, handmade e-bikes · Marjan hill
A local guide leads a small group up the pine-covered hill that rises behind Poljud, on e-bikes built by hand, with stops at St Jerome's hermitage and the summit. Pick it for the climb without the sweat, and for a guide who tells Hajduk's story on the way down.
Marjan is the forested hill at the west end of the Split peninsula, 178 metres high and protected since 1964 (Marjan on Wikipedia). Poljud sits below its northern slopes. This tour climbs the south side through pine forest on handmade e-bikes, stops at the medieval Church of St Jerome, where 15th-century hermitages are cut into the rock, then rides on to a 360-degree viewpoint and the summit, with the city, the Adriatic and the islands below.
On the descent the guide talks about local products and Split's history, Hajduk Split included. The last stop is Sustipan, the park on the cliffs above the harbour that was once Split's first cemetery (Visit Split). Then it's back to the start. Four hours in all, in a small group.
Be clear on two things. It does not go inside Poljud: for that, add the club's stadium tour, which fits into the same afternoon. And 15 reviews is a small sample, even with a 4.9 average. The listing includes food and drinks but gives no details, so don't plan on a meal.
Meet the guide at the start point in your booking, get your helmet and a feel for the e-bike.
Up through the pine forest with the motor doing the hard part.
The medieval Church of St Jerome (Sveti Jere), with hermit cells cut into the cliff above it.
A 360-degree viewpoint near the top, then the summit panorama over the city, the sea and the islands.
On the way down the guide covers what Split grows and makes, and the history of Hajduk Split.

No. It rides the hill behind the stadium, and the guide tells Hajduk's story on the descent. To go inside, book the club's stadium tour or the bike tour with Poljud.
The e-bike does most of the work on the climb. Marjan is 178 metres high, and you need to be comfortable on a bike on forest roads and gentle descents.
The listing includes food and drinks but gives no details. Eat properly before or after the four hours.
A small medieval church on the south side of the hill, with hermitages cut into the cliff that were first used in the 15th century. It's one of the main stops on this tour.
