Welcome to southern Croatia, to the region of Dalmatia, a land of clear blue sea, countless rocky islands, and a strong Mediterranean spirit. Born and raised on the Adriatic coast, I have spent my life exploring the landscapes, history, and traditions of Dalmatia. From prehistoric caves hidden in the karst mountains to UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Diocletian’s Palace in Split, this is a place I know not only through study, but through everyday life. As your guide, I offer more than a standard tour. I aim to present Dalmatia as it truly is, through its history, culture, landscapes, and the traditions that still shape local life today. Together we can walk through Split’s ancient streets, once part of a Roman imperial residence, or explore the nearby coast and islands where the rhythm of life remains closely tied to the sea and stone. Dalmatia is a place of stunning natural beauty—karst rivers carving deep canyons, waterfalls cascading into emerald pools, and a breathtaking coastline shaped by centuries of wind and waves. Add to that a mild Mediterranean climate, and you have the perfect setting for unforgettable adventures. Working in such surroundings makes my job as a tour guide not just easier, but truly rewarding. I feel a strong connection to the place where I come from. Yet I believe that truly understanding a region requires constant learning and curiosity. For that reason, I dedicate much of my time to studying history, natural sciences, and marine biology. Since childhood, I have been fascinated by the landscapes and the sea of Dalmatia, which led me to write, teach, and conduct research in marine biology, always with a focus on sustainability and the relationship between people and nature. Becoming a guide has allowed me to bring these interests together, history, nature, storytelling, and genuine human connection. Guiding is not simply about showing places, but about sharing context and helping visitors understand how this region has evolved through time. What I value most are the conversations, curiosity, and shared moments that emerge while exploring Dalmatia together. If you are looking for an experience that goes beyond the surface and offers a deeper sense of place, I would be glad to guide you through it. * Licensed tourist guide for Split-Dalmatia County and Sibenik-Knin County * University degree and an active researcher in the field of Marine Biology * Driver's Licence (B)

Peter is one of the best guides we have ever had. His knowledge and enthusiasm were amazing. As a marine biologist, was extremely informative about the waterfalls. As a historian, his tour of the palace and castle was amazing.

Petar was fantastic. He has a great sense of humor and we enjoyed every aspect of the tour. He was very punctual and was there when we exited the ship. Took us on a wonderful walk tour of split. Learned a lot about the history of the town and you can see as a Nattiv of the area, he was very proud and happy to be showing people his city.
