Hello, my name is Vjeran ("faithful" in Croatian) and it would be my pleasure to be your host in this part of Croatia where I live and which I'm in love with. I am a private guide that offers private tours in Split and the surrounding area. I have worked as a licensed tourist guide for the Split region for fourteen years, but I've been involved in tourism since I was 14 (I am 44 now). After graduating from high school, with an emphasis on tourism, I obtained my undergraduate degree in tourism. I've been working at the Split tourist office ever since. My goal is not to give you just a tour. I would like to give you a memory. This region is, I daresay, one of the best there is when it comes to opportunities to see so many breathtaking places not far from each other. For example - the amazing palace built by the Roman emperor Diocletian, which has grown into the city of Split. Then, one of the most beautiful small towns in the world - Trogir. It is almost impossible to find a place of that size with so many monuments. Just minutes away from Split you will find the key to our history and Christianity - the ruins of what was once the glorious Roman capital of the province, Salona. From there you literally see another wonder - the fortress of Klis - where so much blood was shed in order to stop a fierce enemy, the Turkish army, trying to put to an and Europe as it was then. Heroes were made then, and heroes are being made now, with the fourth and the fifth season of the globally popular TV-series "Game of Thrones" which has been filmed in this area. There is so much more: natural wonders like Plitvice Lakes, The Krka Waterfalls and others. Islands like Hvar and Brač will capture your heart. You have just one day… No problem! Only half a day… Still no problem! Not more than a couple of hours… My answer remains the same - No problem! Tailor-made tours are what I'm all about. And my tours are designed to meet your needs and wishes. You tell me what you would like, and I'll do my best to make it happen. I do believe there are many people out there watching and loving "Game of Thrones". If you're one of them check out my tour - Split Game of Thrones tour. Why would you pick me? "There are no men like me. Only me. " P. S. Don't get me wrong, I don't think too highly of myself. I'd just like to think I'm at least a bit unique. -Licensed tourist guide for Split-Dalmatia county (Split, Trogir, Salona, Klis, Omiš, islands Brač, Hvar etc.) and Šibenik-Knin County (Šibenik, Krka Waterfalls) -Driver's Licence (car, van) No restrictions

During the long era of fighting the Ottoman Empire, these two places defined their roles in Croatian history. Few brave men opposed an immense army. Klis deserved the title "the stronghold of Christianity" while Sinj got known for one of the most epic victories in our history. There is a unique knight's tournament taking place in Sinj, celebrating it. It's called "Alka" and has a long tradition (300 years). Recognizing its value, UNESCO protected this "game". Since my mom is from Klis and I spent a part of my life here, too, I "feel" those stories as mine; Klis feels like home to me. So I welcome you to my "home". I would love to tell you about those proud men that were willing to give their lives for their country.
- I will meet you at your location (hotel, cruise ship, Split old town, etc. ). - First, we'll go to Klis (Sinj can be our first stop too, this is just a suggestion) and visit the fortress where brave Croatian soldiers resisted Ottoman attacks for two and a half decades. - The view over Split and the surrounding area from this location is as impressive and breathtaking as it's past, so you'll get a chance to make some amazing photos - After Klis, we will continue our journey and go to Sinj - I'll take you on a tour of the town and show you its "hot spots". The plan is to also visit two places/things that are symbols of Sinj - the miraculous painting of Madonna in the Franciscan monastery and The Museum of Alka - for me, one of the most impressive museums in this part of Croatia. - At the end of our tour we'll go back to Split (about 30 minutes drive). * The suggested itinerary can be altered before booking and even while on tour to fit your expectations.
