Dear visitors, my name is Darko, I've been in love with Croatia since the first day of my life and my goal is to pass that love to You. I was born and raised in Split, pearl of the Mediterranean sea and since forever I am fascinated by history, culture and nature. At the beginning of my career I worked in Croatian national theater and in Split city museum as an official tour guide and that experience with knowledge I got from my older colleagues helped me a lot and gave me a big impulse in becoming freelancer. Today my full time job is producer of cultural events but my true passion is tour guiding. As I am scuba diver, hiker and big fan of football, I incorporate all those hobbies and knowledge in my tours. I am also honored that one of my tours are official history tour from our local football club Hajduk Split - "The rebel tour". * Licensed tourist guide for Split-Dalmatia County ( Split, Trogir, Salona, Klis etc) * Licensed transfer and taxi driver in Croatia (car and van) * NAUI scuba diver licence * Theatrical producer in Croatia. No restrictions.

Overview of your Split tour

Sense the way people lived before in Zagora, continental part of central Dalmatia. Admire beautiful viewpoints, get to know the way complicated history formed strength of locals and discover beautiful landscape during the tour. Climb to the top of Klis fortress feel the past and enjoy in the magnificent view of Split and nearby islands. Visit home town of the Alka tournament Sinj and learn interesting facts about historical fight against Ottomans. Explore one of the most beautiful little towns in Dalmatian Hinterland - Imotski and enjoy visiting medieval fortress with two nature miracles - Blue and Red lake. My origins are from this rural area of Dalmatia and whole my life I am in love with hiking and discovering natural beauties that are almost untouched in this area. Besides nature I am involved through various programs to preserve the tradition and gastronomy of the area. My goal is to share that passion with you!

This is a wonderful full day experience which outlines some beautiful parts of the country (purposefully excluding some of the very crowded main city tourist spots). The Blue Lake & The Red Lake….and Fortress are magnificent — much better than the Falls : ) Darko is friendly and very knowledgeable and he and the drive took care of every need we had. Thank you both !!

I had a wonderful experience with this tour. Darko went out of his way to plan this tour to cater to my needs. We went to some off the beaten track to see small towns, learn about the history and see beautiful lakes and waterfalls. He was very knowlegeable and enthusiastic. I learned a lot about Croatia on this tour. I can highly recommend Darko as a guide. Really appreciate his kindness and time. Thank you. Micheline Muller

Darko is very hospitable person, we didn’t feel he was our guide, but our friend taking us around his country that he loves so much. Every minute of our trip Darko was extremely attentive to all our needs and interest. Darko is flexible and knowledgeable about Croatia history , economy, politics. For every question he was able to give us great explanations. He was very patient with our not so easy kids as well. All around, we had a great time and thanks to Darko, want to come back to this beautiful land.
