Hello and welcome! I’m Silvio, a licensed tour guide for Split and Croatia with over 16 years of experience, and I can honestly say I still love what I do every single day. Guiding is not just my job, it’s my passion. I feel incredibly lucky to share the beauty, history, and everyday life of Croatia with guests from all over the world. Being my own boss allows me to stay flexible, creative, and fully focused on you and your interests. I’m a true history enthusiast and lifelong learner, always researching and discovering new details so I can make every story richer and more meaningful. But my tours are not just about the past. I enjoy talking about modern Croatia too, from economy and politics to sports and daily life. I love great conversations and I always adapt to the curiosity of my guests. At heart, I’m a storyteller. I believe history should feel alive, fun, and easy to understand. I mix knowledge with humor, local anecdotes, and a relaxed energy. Yes, there will definitely be some jokes along the way. All my tours here are private and completely customized. After 16 years in the field, I’ve built strong local connections that allow me to offer certain experiences and access that many others simply cannot. If you’re looking for something special, different, or even a little unexpected, I’m always happy to make it happen. I’m extremely flexible and love a challenge. My goal is simple. I want you to leave Croatia not just with beautiful photos, but with real understanding, great memories, and maybe even a few new friends. I can’t wait to explore with you. Silvio
