Hello to you all. I am Nikola and I come from Split. I was born and raised in Split. I have been a guide since I was 18 years old and tourism was coming back to Croatia after the war. I am a licensed tourist guide since 2002 and I am a founding member of Association of tour guides in Split. Being a tourist guide is in my blood. I am a passionate history freak since childhood interested in all kind of historical theaters. A walk with me is a trip down the path of deep inside historical view. I follow military history and always read military history books and magazines. I also follow politics and have opinion on world events and politics. Since 2013 I teach at the Course for tourist guides two subjects. Operational aspects of a guided tour and Split-dalmatian county history and facts. I am a fan of Game of Thrones that I have been following since the first day and I was an extra in Season 5. You can see me well in episode 2 season 5. All historical and fantasy shows are my soul food. Lord of the Rings is one of the favorites. I like music and I have a hard rock/metal band. My favorite music is Heavy metal and I follow the scene for last 25 years. Also I am a fan of historical computer games and I am fan of Total War series since the beginning and I played them all. I am the author of 5 books. SF novel called "Legionares" that has been released to bookstores in 2022 and fantasy novels called "Children of the Founder" and the sequel "Children of the Empire" released in 2023 and 2025. I also wrote a manual for the "Operational aspects of a guided tour" for tour guides in 2022 and the biography of my grandfathers World War II extraordinary path "My Grandfather - The Last Nazi Death Camp Prisoner" in 2023. My books are available in English on Amazon and for the international market I write under the pen name Nick Altman.

What a fun day we had with Nikola! He's everything you need to enjoy a day in Split! Not only did he tell us and show us everything we wanted to know about GoT, but he was also so knowledgeable about the history of the area which was a bonus.

Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure being your guide. Nikola
Nikola was a fantastic tour guide. His knowledge of the history of Split and Croatia was fabulous and he interwoven this with his personal perspective with the Game of Thrones. His stories and vignettes were funny and we really enjoyed them. I highly recommend his GOT tour

Thank you. It was pleasure beeing you guide. Best regards Nikola
Fantastic tour and absolutely worth the time and money. We were met promptly and at a place slightly different than the official meeting point due to our need to have some lunch prior to the tour starting. Extremely knowledgable guide, very personable, friendly, funny, engaging. Would absolutely do it again.
