Dear travelers, welcome to Dalmatia! My name is Mateo, and I’ll be guiding you through your journey in this beautiful region. Let me share a little about myself – I was born in Split at the very beginning of the Croatian War of Independence, and I’ve witnessed the charms of communism and the struggle of my ancestors for the democracy we enjoy today. My roots are deeply embedded in Split and Kaštela, where my family has lived for several hundred years. I’m a true local with stories passed down by my elders, and I’m fortunate enough that both of my grandmothers, almost a hundred years old, are still alive and share stories from the past about our land. History has always been both a hobby and a passion of mine, especially the customs and traditions of my region. I wrote my first extensive paper on Diocletian's Palace when I was just 11 years old. My fascination with it has continued to this day. Trogir, with its historical core, remains one of my favorite places to spend time with my family. Kaštela, a town nestled perfectly between the UNESCO-protected cities of Trogir and Split, is where I live today. Kaštela is also renowned as the home of the world-famous Zinfandel wine. Although my focus throughout life was mainly on sports, which led me to graduate in kinesiology, in 2018 I returned to my true love – history and architecture – and decided to pursue this profession full-time.

Step into the world of Game of Thrones while exploring Split’s 1700-year-old Diocletian’s Palace and the dramatic Klis Fortress. Wander through the UNESCO-protected heart of Split, where Roman walls, medieval alleys, and lively cafés blend into a living monument. Fans will recognize the palace cellars as the place where Daenerys kept her dragons and trained the Unsullied, while history lovers will discover layers of Roman, Venetian, and modern heritage. After a short 20-minute drive, we reach Klis Fortress, perched high on the cliffs above Split. Famous as the city’s medieval shield against Ottoman invasions, it now offers breathtaking views of the Adriatic and islands. As your guide, I bring history to life with a personal touch: I was an Unsullied extra in Game of Thrones. Expect behind-the-scenes anecdotes, filming secrets, and cultural insights as we blend fact with fantasy. This tour is perfect for history buffs, culture seekers, and GOT fans alike.
Upon meeting, we proceed by private transportation to the more distant location (if the meeting is in Split we proceed first to Klis, we usually do this to avoid traffic jams on return). Walking tour in UNESCO protected area of Split: - Diocletian's palace (with multiple stops during the walking tour) - Main promenade Riva - Cathedral of Saint Domnius/Diocletian's mausoleum and Baptistery/Jupiter's temple (outside) - City gates Klis fortress: - includes walking tour on the fortress and a visit to a museum located in the fortress
