As a licensed private guide based in vibrant UNESCO city SPLIT, I would love to take you to explore the dramatic RIVER CETINA CANYON, the enchanting UNESCO-listed town of TROGIR, the cascading waterfalls of KRKA NATIONAL PARK, sun-drenched island HVAR, and the idyllic island of BRAČ. I also guide private tours to historic UNESCO town ŠIBENIK, the mesmerizing PLITVICE LAKES national park, the luminous BLUE CAVE, captivating MOSTAR, as well as exclusive local wine-tasting experiences. All of those 20 private tours can be found further below. * * * * Please note, ONLY 6 TOURS ARE DISPLAYED AT ONCE, SO YOU NEED TO PRESS THE BUTTON 'SEE MORE', UNDER THE LAST / LOWEST TOUR LISTED * * * * *** Dobrodošli! / Hi and welcome! I am glad you decided to visit one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in the world, the country called The pearl of 1000 islands (we have 1244 of them, really!), or 'the Mediterranean as it once was'! My name is Matt and I come from the south of Croatia, the region of incredible beauty called Dalmatia (yeah, those cute, black-spotted dogs come from here, too!). I originate from island Hvar and live in the capital of Dalmatia - 1700 y/o UNESCO city Split. I have a Master's degree in history and I love sharing the beauty of my region with my guests. My biggest passions are traveling and exploring new cultures, customs, and people (I consider myself lucky to have visited more than 70 countries so far), art, nature, gastronomy, fine wine, foreign languages, photography, literature, architecture, geography, international politics, and the stock market. I love taking part in pub trivia nights, and I am also a big fan of outdoor activities like biking, hiking, sailing, kayaking, and surfing. At age 18, at my first year of university, I became a licensed tour guide, and that is when my professional career in tourism and travel started. In my rich tour guide's career I have been guiding and organizing tours and customized and tailor-made itineraries for individuals and groups all around Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia and 25 other European countries. I have been working with the main tour operators from Croatia, US, UK and Australia. One of those was Rick Steves: at the very beginning of Rick's arrival in Croatia, I personally guided him and several of his first tour groups. Some of the specific Croatian sayings included in his Croatia guidebook were learned directly from me :) I have also been organizing congresses, business meetings, conferences and team buildings in Split and other beautiful locations in Croatia. In 2010, as one of the first European guides (and the very first in Croatia!), I joined the ToursByLocals team. Today, with almost 500 tours delivered, I’m proud to be by far the most booked ToursByLocals guide in the entire region. . . . For my guests in Croatia, I will be glad to organize and guide the whole variety of tours (half-day, one-day, 1-week; national park tours, cultural tours, wine tours. . . ) around Dalmatia and Croatia, in general. So. . . maybe you would like a morning walking tour of the historical 1700 y/o UNESCO city of Split (discovering its complex history and also seeing some of the GOT filming locations) and then enjoy a Dalmatian lunch in some of the typical 'konoba' restaurants afterwards, followed by a visit to the 3-millennia old UNESCO town Trogir - just a 30 minute drive from Split? Or maybe you are into the Jewish-history tour of Split? Or you are a nature lover who prefers pacing by hundreds of waterfalls of UNESCO National park Plitvice, or by those of National park Krka, or at the beautiful river Cetina canyon, a half an hour drive from Split. . . Would you like to swim in the most transparent sea in Europe? Maybe you wish to enjoy a private speedboat tour, or a driver-guided tour of my island - one of the world's 10 most beautiful islands and the best wine region in Croatia - island Hvar - or visit island Brac, the source of the best limestone in Europe, the island with the most attractive beach in Croatia - the Golden Horn/ Zlatni Rat. Or maybe visit the breathtaking island Vis (the filming location of the Mamma Mia 2, in 2017) and its famous Blue cave. . . Or to experience the oriental charm of the 'Small Istanbul' - town Mostar (Bosnia and Hercegovina) and its medieval, UNESCO bridge? Or, would you like to see one of the best known symbols of Croatia - town Dubrovnik - and its wider region - the incredible wine region of the peninsula Peljesac, beautiful island Korcula or the neighboring country - Montenegro? Whatever your requests are, feel free to contact me and I will organize the tour that suits your plans the best! I provide private walking tours, driver-guided tours, multi-day tours, wine tours, private yacht / speedboat charter tours, customized team buildings, congresses and conferences, as well as the road transfers between Croatia and its neighborhood: Slovenia, Italy, Hungary, Bosnia, Montenegro. . . I am looking forward to being your private guide and to sharing with you my favorite places in Split, Croatia, on the islands and more. . .

Overview of your Split tour

As a big fan of nature, Arts, architecture and gastronomy, I am inviting you to one of my top tours - the tour of the Krka waterfalls and the medieval town Sibenik. The Krka river, with its gorgeous canyon and hundreds of waterfalls, is a must-see place for nature lovers. The Skradinski buk, made out of 17 waterfall cascades, is the highlight of the park and one of the best-known natural phenomena of Croatia. We will admire the falls, cascades, lakes, tuffs and caves from the breathtaking viewpoints and will walk along the network of paths built just above the water surface. We will discover together the Krka ethno-village, old watermills and enjoy the canyon boat ride to the ancient town Skradin. Finally, we would tour town Sibenik. Built at the end of the beautiful St. Anthony canal, Sibenik is one of the most beautiful towns on Croatian coast. It boasts with 4 fortresses (World heritage), palaces & astonishing cathedral of St. James (World heritage) - a masterpiece of Gothic & Renaissance art.
