Welcome! Yes, you read that right - Daniela. Not the most typical Croatian name, I know 😄 My mom loved Italian soap operas… and the name stayed. Before anything else - I currently offer more than 20 different tours, but many guests prefer something more personal. I’m always happy to design a fully custom itinerary based on your interests, travel style and schedule. If you send me a message or email, I usually respond very quickly and can prepare a personalized plan within one day. Despite the Italian-sounding name, my family’s roots in Croatia go back more than 300 years (as far as we know). Dalmatia isn’t just where I work, it’s where my story truly begins. My name is Daniela, a licensed local guide based in Split with more than 10 years of guiding experience, and I’m genuinely happy you found my page. I also hold a Master’s degree in Tourism, which helps me combine professional planning with real local knowledge and experience. Guiding is not just my job; it’s something I’ve been living every day for years. I created these tours so guests can experience Dalmatia the way locals actually do - not only by seeing famous landmarks, but by understanding the stories, traditions and everyday life behind them. Every traveler is different, and I don’t believe in one standard tour for everyone. I adapt each experience to your interests and pace, whether you enjoy history, culture, food, nature, or simply a relaxed day exploring. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, ask questions freely and leave with a real connection to the places you visit. I take care of all the details: organization, timing, reservations, recommendations and those small local tips you would normally never find on your own. You can relax and enjoy, knowing everything is thoughtfully planned and handled with care. Many of my guests say the best part of their trip is not only what they saw, but how they experienced it. From ancient ruins and coastal towns to local homes and family traditions, I want you to feel welcomed — not like a tourist, but like a guest. I truly believe travel is about people and shared experiences. Everyone is welcome, and I do my best to create a warm, friendly atmosphere where you can feel at ease and enjoy your time in Croatia. If you choose to explore with me, I will make sure your visit becomes one of your favorite travel memories. I look forward to meeting you in Dalmatia!

Overview of your Split tour

Discover the perfect combination of history, culture and local flavors on this relaxed full-day experience. The tour connects two UNESCO heritage towns with a visit to a traditional family-run winery in the countryside, giving you a complete introduction to Dalmatia in just one day. We begin in Split with a guided walk through Diocletian’s Palace, a 1,700-year-old Roman complex that today functions as a living neighborhood. After time in Split, we continue to Trogir, a small island town often described as an open-air museum. During the walking tour you will explore the main square, cathedral area, narrow medieval streets and hidden corners while hearing stories about daily life, traditions and the town’s Venetian past. The experience continues inland to Kaštel Sikuli Winery, a welcoming family estate surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. This tour is ideal for travelers who want to see the highlights of the region while also enjoying authentic food and wine in a relaxed atmosphere.

Daniela is the best guide we’ve EVER had!! (From using Tours by Locals in multiple countries over the years, she’s the best!) She’s enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and her passion for local culture, history, and food are boundless. She treats you like family (we welcome the nickname as “cousins” to us now!) and she caters to whatever you want to do or your personal interests. She managed to add extra places to our day together, found an incredible winery that would open just for us (since most are closed in the winter), and seems to know everyone in town (many friendly greetings and Hellos from locals). She even gave us recommendations for meals and places to go, for after the tour and the rest of our week in the area. Daniela is truly a gem! If you’re visiting anywhere in Central Dalmatia, you’ll want her as your guide! (If there was a way to give 10 stars, we would!!)

We really, really loved our tour, and especially our guide, Mihaela (Elena). She was so knowledgeable about the history, architecture, etc., and it was obvious she enjoys her job and has a passion for her country and people. We highly recommend using her as your guide.

Outstanding! We have travelled extensively and have had quite a number of guides with various agencies. BY FAR, Daniela is the best tour guide we have encountered. She is pleasant, personable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Excellent delivery with a well-paced tour. Very interesting. Would strongly recommend!

This was our first stop of our cruise and I don’t think it can get any better! Daniela is extremely warm and friendly and we instantly felt like we were with an old friend or family member. Being a local she is obviously very knowledgeable and we learned so much history about each place as well as a glimpse into what it is like to live here. Daniela was also kind enough to take fantastic pictures of us while at all of the beautiful places. This was by far one of the BEST days we’ve ever had traveling!

Daniela was excellent. We learned so much about the history and culture of the area and Croatia in general. She has a super personality and was always concerned with our wishes for the tour. I will be recommending her to my friends.
