Hello, my name is Vjeran ("faithful" in Croatian) and it would be my pleasure to be your host in this part of Croatia where I live and which I'm in love with. I am a private guide that offers private tours in Split and the surrounding area. I have worked as a licensed tourist guide for the Split region for fourteen years, but I've been involved in tourism since I was 14 (I am 44 now). After graduating from high school, with an emphasis on tourism, I obtained my undergraduate degree in tourism. I've been working at the Split tourist office ever since. My goal is not to give you just a tour. I would like to give you a memory. This region is, I daresay, one of the best there is when it comes to opportunities to see so many breathtaking places not far from each other. For example - the amazing palace built by the Roman emperor Diocletian, which has grown into the city of Split. Then, one of the most beautiful small towns in the world - Trogir. It is almost impossible to find a place of that size with so many monuments. Just minutes away from Split you will find the key to our history and Christianity - the ruins of what was once the glorious Roman capital of the province, Salona. From there you literally see another wonder - the fortress of Klis - where so much blood was shed in order to stop a fierce enemy, the Turkish army, trying to put to an and Europe as it was then. Heroes were made then, and heroes are being made now, with the fourth and the fifth season of the globally popular TV-series "Game of Thrones" which has been filmed in this area. There is so much more: natural wonders like Plitvice Lakes, The Krka Waterfalls and others. Islands like Hvar and Brač will capture your heart. You have just one day… No problem! Only half a day… Still no problem! Not more than a couple of hours… My answer remains the same - No problem! Tailor-made tours are what I'm all about. And my tours are designed to meet your needs and wishes. You tell me what you would like, and I'll do my best to make it happen. I do believe there are many people out there watching and loving "Game of Thrones". If you're one of them check out my tour - Split Game of Thrones tour. Why would you pick me? "There are no men like me. Only me. " P. S. Don't get me wrong, I don't think too highly of myself. I'd just like to think I'm at least a bit unique. -Licensed tourist guide for Split-Dalmatia county (Split, Trogir, Salona, Klis, Omiš, islands Brač, Hvar etc.) and Šibenik-Knin County (Šibenik, Krka Waterfalls) -Driver's Licence (car, van) No restrictions

The city of Split truly is a living monument. Life never stopped thriving here in the last 1700 years (yes, that is correct, 1700 years). UNESCO recognized Split's amazing value and protected it in 1979. Would you like to get an insider's view of what the Diocletian's Palace once used to look like? How about experiencing some things "behind the scenes" and off regular tourist paths? I would be honored to be your host and guide in the city I was born in and will hopefully spend the rest of my life in. As your local guide, whose roots reach deep into Split's old streets, houses, palaces. . . and whose heartbeat is synchronized with the ringing of St. Domnius Cathedral's belltower, I will do my best not to show you only all the magnificent monuments and buildings, from Roman period till present day (which I'll do as well); I plan to share with you all the stories only a local can know, those small details you can not find in guidebooks.
-After we meet I'll take you on a walking tour of the old town of Split -I'll show you what the Diocletian's Palace used to look like back in the days -We'll visit the south part of the Palace (optional entrance to the Cellars / Substructures) -I'll show you where the emperor Diocletian used to live; you'll see where the residential part of the Palace used to be -We'll see the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, that used to be Diocletian's mausoleum and talk about it (optional entrance: The Cathedral Complex - 5 monuments) -We'll go to the most beautiful square in Split - the Peristyle -There are 4 Palace gates one can see, known as Golden, Silver, Iron and Bronze/Brass Gates -Another charming square - People's Square, known as Pjaca -Two statues with amazing stories behind them - Gregory of Nin and Marko Marulić -And much more (including some „hidden gems") I'll be as flexible as possible and adjust the tour to meet your needs and wishes.
