I'm an ex-pat American, a permanent resident of Croatia, and have lived in Split for 15 years. I created and published DiscoverSplit, the city's only free, English language annual newspaper for tourists which you can see online along with the Tourist Board of Split's newest publication, The Split Guide; DiscoverSplit's Restaurant Guide and the Split/Dalmatia Travel Guide. All of these are supported and approved by the Tourist Board of Split, whom I work with as a consultant. I also created the first and only walking map of all the streets and alleys within the actual Palace of Diocletian--which is part of the newspaper. Together with friends who own wineries, restaurants, honey farms and the best professional guides, I have created a suite of intriguing private tours that take you off-the-beaten-track to see places most tourists never see; meet locals; stop by for some amazing cinnamon buns and ice cream; the last remaining filigree silversmith in Split; maybe an iconic local artist if you'd like and even more. When you walk with me, you not only get the in-depth local expertise of a talented, local professional, but the nuance, humor and insight of someone who lives here, loves it and has been working with tourists and tour programming in the US as well as in Russia (where I lived and worked for many years). If there's something you would like to do a bit differently than what we have in our programs, just ask. The answer is usually yes! I look forward to meeting you sharing with you this really special part of the world! Do take a look at some of my wonderful reviews from travelers and agents who had a great time here! An oh yes, if there are just two or three of you and you book any program outside of Split, you get to ride in my well-maintained 1994 Mercedes C 250! Publisher of the 128 page Split-Central Dalmatia Travel Guide to Activities, Events and Destinations; The Split Guide; the Split Restaurant Guide (both supported by the Tourist Board of Split and Dalmatia county); DiscoverSplit, DiscoverHvar, DiscoverSolta and DiscoverKorcula--the only English language newspapers for tourists in these communities. Consultant to the Tourist Board of Split, English language editor of the official tourist board publication Visit Split.

We have just completed our third tour with Robert and are looking forwards to our fourth on Sunday. Definitely five stars! We have been to places that a tour bus cannot get to, and he will adapt the tours to the customers' requirements. Amongst other places we have been to Split and Trogir. To Cathedrals, parks and museums. To places with spectacular views. He is very knowledgable. We would highly recommend his tours. Judith C

Robert & his guide took us through the old city of Split, & also on a tour of Trogir, an amazing seaside city with beautiful ancient ruins & then on to Krka National Park where we toured again & swam in the beautiful waterfalls. We were a large group of 11, so Robert organized the rental of a large van to take us around Croatia. Robert is an extremely intelligent & worldly man who was 100% attentive & provided exceptional customer service for the 5 days we were in Croatia. We highly recommend Robert.

So happy to be with Robert & guide for Day 2. Today we traveled to Trogir-an incredible medieval town an hour north of Split. Their enthusiasm made it come alive as we explored the magnificent church, enjoyed the authentic "peka" lunch, and wandered the city noticing unique and interesting features. That evening we met Robert for a private wine tasting and were amazed by the quality of the Croatian wines-we want them in the US! He had so many interesting suggestions that we want to plan a return trip.
