Guiding Tours is something that I consider more than just a profession, the part that I like even more is meeting people from all over the world. . . and as long as I will be passionate as I am, I will do it best possible way. Satisfied and well-informed guest is my primary goal, and since I am the one representing and presenting this beautiful corner of the world I am coming from, it is always my greatest honour and pleasure to see happy guests after the tour I organize and provide. According to my "style", it is not that much about the facts you can find and read in classic guidebooks, Internet or any other source, it is according to guests specific interests or needs, no matter if it is about history (which is btw. my eternal hobby nr. 1), lifestyle, nature or anything else. . . I am a guide with answers, eloquent, communicative, sometimes with local humour that spices up the story even more. . . :) Croatia as my homeland and Adriatic - Mediterranean - Central European - Balkan Region of Istria is indeed a beautiful corner of the world and I appreciate that more and more visitors are coming to see it and experience it. If you wish to see it with an insider with more than thirty years of experience as a Tour Guide, you have found the right person here. I am offering you a nice selection of tours that are not only popular and very well accepted by guests but also favoured by me. Otherwise, if you have any specific interests or preferences, I will be more than happy to prepare a custom-tailored tour for you, to enhance your pleasure and experience even more. . . *** WELCOME!!! - DOBRODOŠLI!!! - BENVENUTI!!! - WILLKOMMEN!!! *** Licensed Local Guide for Istarska Zupanija (Istria Region) since 1997. Licensed Local Guide for Primorsko - Goranska Zupanija (Kvarner Bay and Gorski Kotar Region) since 2001.

Overview of your Rovinj tour

Let me take you on a pleasant romantic walk through one of the most picturesque and most romantic little towns in the world. . . A late medieval town with strong Venetian influence particularly in architecture and everyday life: a place with long fishing tradition, a place which artists, particularly painters, have chosen for life and artistic impressions. . . Tour includes a zigzag walkthrough oldtown streets including Grisia, street of artists once upon a time and some still left, visit St. Eufemia Church and we will end in fishing port with some batana boats present, even though EU legislation has taken away our bigger ships :(. Batana is a symbol of fishing tradition in Rovinj. Please allow me to introduce you this unique medieval Venetian fisherman's hilltown with a lot of charm and romance. . . Let's get lost in Rovigno d'Istria. . . :)

Really great private walking tour with Matijas. We learned all about the history of Rovinj, toured the cathedral, and streets. It was a wonderful way to start our experience in Rovinj. Matijas was great and would recommend to anyone!

Che bella giornata! We had a wonderful time with our guide, Matt. He showed us hidden gems of Rovigno. One can really feel his love for the city. We especially loved the time we spent in St. Euphemia's Church. He told us about her legend. We highly recommend a tour with Matt. He knows so much and makes learning fun.

Very enjoyable walk through Rovinj. There were 8 older women and Matthew took it slow and easy! Rovinj is a beautiful small town and we waled along the cobblestones while Matthew reviwed the history of the town and explained the various world circumstance affecting the residents. A long climb to the church, but such a beautiful cathedral, and great view. Rovinj is very charming and a great place for restaurants and shopping!
