*** I'm a private guide in SPLIT, at the AMAZING RIVER CETINA CANYON, in UNESCO TOWN TROGIR, at NATIONAL PARK KRKA FALLS, on FAMOUS ISLAND HVAR, at BEAUTIFUL ISLAND BRAC, in town SIBENIK, at PLITVICE FALLS NATIONAL PARK, on BLUE CAVE tour (from Hvar), in town MOSTAR and on WINE TOURS All of my 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 love history, Arts and nature, and I enjoy 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 being able to visit more than 70 countries so far), gastronomy and wines, foreign languages, photography, literature, architecture, geography, international politics and stock markets. I love taking part in pub quizzes / trivia nights and also I am a big fan of outdoor activities: biking, hiking, sailing, kayaking. 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 shown my country to thousands of guests from all over the world. I have been working with the main tour operators from Croatia, US, UK and Australia. 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 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 over 450 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. . .

Island Brac is one of the most amazing places in Croatia & one of my favorite islands. It is well known for stonecutting tradition (parliaments in Berlin / Vienna / Budapest and the 4th ct. Roman Emperor Diocletian's palace in Split were built of its stone!). Also, it boasts with the highest mountain - Vidova gora - and the most famous Croatian beach - Zlatni rat. Depending on your preferences, I will take you through the islands' capital Supetar and fascinating 3000 y/o village Skrip. Later we would drive to the charming old capital Nerezisca, on the way to the highest mountain peak Vidova gora (2400ft). It's a place with a stunning view at dozens of nearby islands and the mainland. Our next stop will be stonemasons' town Pucisca, where we would tour one of the last remaining stonemasons' schools in Europe. . . . or instead, we can visit town Bol & swim at its famous Zlatni rat beach. Brac is well known for its excellent local restaurants, so we can enjoy a wonderful lunch here as well!
