*** I'm a private guide in SPLIT, at the AMAZING RIVER CETINA CANYON, in UNESCO TOWN TROGIR, at NATIONAL PARK KRKA FALLS, on FAMOUS ISLAND HVAR, at BEAUTIFUL ISLAND BRAC, in town SIBENIK, at PLITVICE FALLS NATIONAL PARK, on BLUE CAVE tour (from Hvar), in town MOSTAR and on WINE TOURS All of my 20 private tours can be found further below. Please note, ONLY 6 TOURS ARE DISPLAYED AT ONCE, SO YOU NEED TO PRESS THE BUTTON 'SEE MORE', UNDER THE LAST / LOWEST TOUR LISTED *** Dobrodošli! / Hi and welcome! I am glad you decided to visit one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in the world, the country called The pearl of 1000 islands (we have 1244 of them, really!), or 'the Mediterranean as it once was'! My name is Matt and I come from the south of Croatia, the region of incredible beauty called Dalmatia (yeah, those cute, black-spotted dogs come from here, too!). I originate from island Hvar and live in the capital of Dalmatia - 1700 y/o UNESCO city Split. I love history, Arts and nature, and I enjoy sharing the beauty of my region with my guests. My biggest passions are traveling and exploring new cultures, customs and people (I consider myself lucky being able to visit more than 70 countries so far), gastronomy and wines, foreign languages, photography, literature, architecture, geography, international politics and stock markets. I love taking part in pub quizzes / trivia nights and also I am a big fan of outdoor activities: biking, hiking, sailing, kayaking. At age 18, at my first year of university, I became a licensed tour guide, and that is when my professional career in tourism and travel started. In my rich tour guide's career I have been guiding and organizing tours and customized and tailor-made itineraries for individuals and groups all around Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia and 25 other European countries. I have been working with the main tour operators from Croatia, US, UK and Australia. One of those was Rick Steves: at the very beginning of Rick's arrival in Croatia, I personally guided him and several of his first tour groups. Some of the specific Croatian sayings included in his Croatia guidebook were learned directly from me :) I have also been organizing congresses, business meetings, conferences and team buildings in Split and other beautiful locations in Croatia. In 2010, as one of the first European guides (and the very first in Croatia!), I joined the ToursByLocals team. Today, with over 450 tours delivered, I’m proud to be by far the most booked ToursByLocals guide in the entire region. . . . For my guests in Croatia, I will be glad to organize and guide the whole variety of tours (half-day, one-day, 1-week; national park tours, cultural tours, wine tours. . . ) around Dalmatia and Croatia, in general. So. . . maybe you would like a morning walking tour of the historical 1700 y/o UNESCO city of Split (discovering its complex history and also seeing some of the GOT filming locations) and then enjoy a Dalmatian lunch in some of the typical 'konoba' restaurants afterwards, followed by a visit to the 3-millennia old UNESCO town Trogir - just a 30 minute drive from Split? Or maybe you are into the Jewish-history tour of Split? Or you are a nature lover who prefers pacing by hundreds of waterfalls of UNESCO National park Plitvice, or by those of National park Krka, or at the beautiful river Cetina canyon, a half an hour drive from Split. . . Would you like to swim in the most transparent sea in Europe? Maybe you wish to enjoy a private speedboat tour, or a driver-guided tour of my island - one of the world's 10 most beautiful islands and the best wine region in Croatia - island Hvar - or visit island Brac, the source of the best limestone in Europe, the island with the most attractive beach in Croatia - the Golden Horn/ Zlatni Rat. Or maybe visit the breathtaking island Vis (the filming location of the Mamma Mia 2, in 2017) and its famous Blue cave. . . Or to experience the oriental charm of the 'Small Istanbul' - town Mostar (Bosnia and Hercegovina) and its medieval, UNESCO bridge? Or, would you like to see one of the best known symbols of Croatia - town Dubrovnik - and its wider region - the incredible wine region of the peninsula Peljesac, beautiful island Korcula or the neighboring country - Montenegro? Whatever your requests are, feel free to contact me and I will organize the tour that suits your plans the best! I provide private walking tours, driver-guided tours, multi-day tours, wine tours, private yacht / speedboat charter tours, customized team buildings, congresses and conferences, as well as the road transfers between Croatia and its neighborhood: Slovenia, Italy, Hungary, Bosnia, Montenegro. . . I am looking forward to being your private guide and to sharing with you my favorite places in Split, Croatia, on the islands and more. . .

Hvar is the most famous island in Croatia. Even though I live in Split, I have my family roots in Hvar (since the 15th cent. !). Therefore, Hvar is truly one of the most special places in the world for me - if you would pick me as your guide, rest assured that your tour would be delivered with lots of passion, local knowledge and love for my island :) The famous Condé Nast Traveler magazine, declared Hvar as one of Ten world's most beautiful islands, together with Santorini, Bora Bora, Capri, Zanzibar. . . and also, as the Best island in Europe, in 2019… Hvar boats with many things: its World heritage sites, lovely gothic & renaissance towns and palaces, incredible nature: hills dotted with old villages, lovely mountains and its breathtaking fields of rosemary and lavender within the endless stone walls formations. It also has most transparent sea on the Mediterranean, amazingly indented coast, wonderful beaches and, for foodies - excellent local and upscale restaurants, and world famous wine(rie)s
*Please note, the itinerary is completely flexible - you are the one who would decide about pacing & the day flow: -meeting you at Hvar, at the dock of your ferry/catamaran/private speedboat arriving from Brac (OR at your Hvar hotel, if you are already staying on Hvar) -touring the island capital - Hvar -driving into the hills and admiring views at the neighboring islands and mountains from the Hvar fortress -exploring 2400 y/o Greek town Stari Grad and its UNESCO protected Greek fields & stone wall network -taking mountain roads & admiring old villages, surrounded by lavender hills -optional lunch break at one of the best local restaurants (extra cost) -riding along the fjord of Vrboska and visiting the Small Venice, with its old bridges and canals -visiting beautiful captains' harbor town Jelsa . . . and, also, some of the best red wines in Europe are grown and grown and produced on island Hvar. So, if you are a wine lover, we can add wine tastings as well (at extra cost)

I will transfer the car from Split to island Hvar by the early-morning car ferry and you would arrive to Hvar by using one of the Brac-Hvar ship connections or if you would prefer, by a private speedboat from the Brac port Bol towards Jelsa, Hvar (I be glad to will assist you with booking the public ships or with arranging your private speedboat). We will meet at the Hvar dock, I will hold a sign with your name. (If would already be on Hvar, then we will meet at your hotel of course.)
