Hello to you all. I am Nikola and I come from Split. I was born and raised in Split. I have been a guide since I was 18 years old and tourism was coming back to Croatia after the war. I am a licensed tourist guide since 2002 and I am a founding member of Association of tour guides in Split. Being a tourist guide is in my blood. I am a passionate history freak since childhood interested in all kind of historical theaters. A walk with me is a trip down the path of deep inside historical view. I follow military history and always read military history books and magazines. I also follow politics and have opinion on world events and politics. Since 2013 I teach at the Course for tourist guides two subjects. Operational aspects of a guided tour and Split-dalmatian county history and facts. I am a fan of Game of Thrones that I have been following since the first day and I was an extra in Season 5. You can see me well in episode 2 season 5. All historical and fantasy shows are my soul food. Lord of the Rings is one of the favorites. I like music and I have a hard rock/metal band. My favorite music is Heavy metal and I follow the scene for last 25 years. Also I am a fan of historical computer games and I am fan of Total War series since the beginning and I played them all. I am the author of 5 books. SF novel called "Legionares" that has been released to bookstores in 2022 and fantasy novels called "Children of the Founder" and the sequel "Children of the Empire" released in 2023 and 2025. I also wrote a manual for the "Operational aspects of a guided tour" for tour guides in 2022 and the biography of my grandfathers World War II extraordinary path "My Grandfather - The Last Nazi Death Camp Prisoner" in 2023. My books are available in English on Amazon and for the international market I write under the pen name Nick Altman. Come to a tour with me and have the best experience in your life with a unique guide. - Official guide for Split-Dalmatia and Šibenik-Knin County's from 2002 - Masters degree in Law at the University of Split - Association of Tour Guides of Split (DTVS) - founding member I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences.

Overview of your Split tour
Jews in Split are a small but very active community. Join me on this tour and hear about their history and about their heritage in Split. I will tell you about the impact they had on the cities history and discover the Synagogue, the ghetto and the Jewish cemetery. Of course we will also see the main attractions of Christian and ancient Roman Split. We shall hear about their sad fate under the Italian Fascist and German Nazi occupation. Also if you like I can tell you what my grandfather (born 1925) went through as a prisoner of German Death camps, Dachau and Buchenwald, and survived to tell the tale. He is still alive and I wrote the biography of my grandfathers World War II extraordinary path in the book "My Grandfather - The Last Nazi Death Camp Prisoner" in 2023. We held a very succesful promotion of the book together. The book is available in English on Amazon.
