Looking for your local SPLIT guidemate? Someone highly educated, fluent in English & German and a witty connoisseur of all the local nooks & crannies? Search no more...

Nice to meet you too :) My name is KATJA and I love discovering enthusiastic people, exciting experiences & high-quality products - from the best espresso to the out-of-the-box scientific or art books, from charming yoga gardens to breathtaking secluded beaches, from eco wineries to the coolest art studios in town. As an endlessly curious, creative spirit and holder of 3 MA degrees (with no intention to stop there ;) I am most passionate about sharing insights, knowledge & stories about my hometown Split and its surroundings.

For me guiding is not about lecturing - it is first and foremost about SHARING. I believe a destination is not only defined by its historic sights - it is also defined by its PEOPLE and creating a memorable tour is all about providing VALUE and creating JOYFUL experiences. 

Connecting at eye (and heart) level with everybody that comes my way is what makes every tour unique and contributes to making your stay in Split memorable and fun. I believe TRAVELLING and STORYTELLING are a perfect way to meet oneself and others. Through the collaboration of my analytical mind and an artistic soul, I have created a fine selection of private tours of Split and its surroundings. All of them are carefully crafted to INSPIRE you, awaken your senses, and provide knowledge that would otherwise take way too many library visits or exhausting googling.

After 15 years of experience as a heritage interpreter, tour coordinator & a licensed private guide, I still have a spark for this job and lovely people I get to meet. Weather you're looking for a walking, hiking or cycling tour or shore excursions by private van or speed boats, don't hesitate to contact me and I will create a customized itinerary for you. Moreover, I will gladly recommend best restaurants from high-end ones to local taverns that support sustainable food growing. I love promoting local artists and their handicrafts, as well as authentic souvenirs. I wholeheartedly collaborate with other creatives in the hospitality field who offer unique and premium travel experiences, so I will gladly provide connections and information you might need while planning your trip.

Treat yourself with one of my tours or drop me a few lines on what you'd like to have tailor-made exclusively for you.
See you soon in Croatia :)
Kindly, 
Katja
