Embark on an exclusive journey through two magnificent UNESCO World Heritage treasures — the timeless town of Trogir and the vibrant city of Split. Begin in Trogir, a gem of stone and sea affectionately called “Little Venice.” This island-town is a masterpiece of Romanesque and Gothic architecture — a living museum where every alley whispers centuries of history. Continue to Split, my hometown and Croatia’s cultural heart. Explore the Diocletian’s Palace, a 1,700-year-old imperial residence transformed into a thriving city within ancient walls. Meander through marble streets, hidden courtyards, and charming markets where the Mediterranean spirit comes alive. With curated insights, seamless comfort, and personalized attention, this private tour invites you to savor the art, legends, and everyday elegance of Dalmatia — an experience that lingers long after your journey ends.
Frank was an amazing tour guide. He really knew the history. He had a very comfortable car with great AC (super imortant)! He took to all the great areas in Split and Trogir. Do not hesitate to use Frank for your tour in Split. You won’t regret it.
Frank (Frane) was, without question, the best tour guide we’ve ever had. His love for Split is absolutely infectious, and his deep knowledge of the city’s history brought every corner to life. From the start, he connected with each of us in a genuine and thoughtful way, making the day both fun and incredibly informative. We all learned so much and truly enjoyed every moment we spent with him. We already can’t wait to return to Split—and a big part of that is because of how Frane showed it to us. If you have the chance, book him—you won’t regret it.
First class tour by Frane. Her was very professional and obviously very experienced in his job. We had a delightful day and felt we learned allot about the area. I would not hesitate to recommend Frane to anyone.
This was a fabulous day with Frane. We worked well together to spend the morning at the national park, and then to see the parts of Split that really interested us. He was accommodating and we couldn't ask for more. Frane was fantastic and we highly recommend him.
Frane was one of the best guides we have ever had. He was funny, very informative and considerate of the limitations of my 90 year old mother. He arranged for a large and very comfortable bus. And we loved Split and Trogir!! We hope to return one day. We would give both Frane and thus tour 6 stars if we could!
Frane was wonderful and a wealth of information! What a great guide and great experiences in Split and Trogir. Frane clearly enjoyed sharing his country with us and did it in a very interesting manner. We loved the little nooks and alleys where he took us were beautiful and fascinating. Frane was the best!
