"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. " - Saint Augustine ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Hello and Welcome – Dobrodošli! My name is Frane (pronounced Frah-neh), and I’m a licensed tour guide based in Split, Croatia, proudly guiding visitors through the treasures of this stunning region since 2005. Born and raised in Split, I’ve lived and studied in both Italy and the United States, gaining a broader cultural perspective that helps me connect deeply with my guests. I know what makes a great tour for all travelers – insightful stories, a relaxed pace, great photo ops, excellent food and wine, and a local guide who feels like a friend. With a university degree in History and Economics, I specialize in private, customizable tours throughout Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, blending rich history, breathtaking nature, and vibrant local culture. Whether you crave ancient Roman ruins along the Dalmatian coast, enchanting medieval towns, artisanal wine regions, hidden inland villages, or a quest to trace your family roots, every tour is personalized to your interests. Expect a meaningful, unforgettable experience that reveals the region's diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage through authentic, carefully curated moments.

If you do nothing else in this area take this tour with Frane (Frank). Frane knows his history, speaks fantastic English and has a great sense of humour too. Our day slipped by as we wandered around Trogir, Salon and Split. These were places we had visited before but our tour with Frane showed us completely different sides to these beautiful and fascinating places. Awesome!

Fantastic day!!!! We had a short time in Split and wanted to visit other sites outside the city and Frane hit them all with candor, humor and personality while imparting the history of his country. We would highly recommend him and suggest you ask about the Archeological museum. Thank you again.

Frane is a terrific guide - so glad we had him as our tour guide, very friendly and helpful in everything. It was a pleasure to meet him. You will not go wrong with choosing him as your tour guide :)

Frane was the best tour guide ever, and anyone in Croatia who does not have the opportunity to tour with him is missing out. By the end of this tour, my family and I considered Frane a friend, and we would love to be able to show him around our own home next time he is in the US. He provided fascinating insights, great jokes, and an all around amazing time. He went out of his way to tailor everything to our interests and never rushed us. We look forward to keeping in touch and cannot thank him enough!
