*** 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 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 working with the main tour operators from Croatia, US, UK and Australia. One of those was Rick Steves: at the very beginning of Rick's arrival in Croatia, I personally guided him and several of his first tour groups. Some of the specific Croatian sayings included in his Croatia guidebook were learned directly from me :) I have also 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. . .

Being a great fan of nature, architecture, outdoor activities, Arts, gastronomy and wines, I would love to take you to one of my favorite tours - the tour of the Krka waterfalls national park. The river Krka, a must-see place for nature lovers, with its amazing canyon and hundreds of waterfalls, lies just an hour-drive from Split. The Skradinski buk falls, made out of 17 waterfall cascades, are the highlight of the park and some of the best known natural phenomena of Croatia. We will admire the falls, cascades, lakes, tuffs & caves from the breathtaking viewpoints and will walk along the network of paths built just above the water surface. We will also explore the Krka ethno-village exhibitions, the old restored watermills and experience the canyon boat ride to the ancient town Skradin. Later on, we can have a refreshing swim at one of the river beaches (during summer months), and after swim - enjoy an amazing lunch in one of excellent local restaurants in the Krka area.
Can I give ten stars? I have booked hundreds of private tours and Matt is one of the best guides I have ever had. No one knows Croatia better. He showed us some amazing places and, above all, he is fun to be with. It was just a wonderful day. If you are in beautiful Croatia Matt is the guide you want
Our second day with Matej at Krka National park was absolutely amazing. He made the entire experience fun and memorable. Matej love for Croatia and its natural beauty really shines through. His knowledge of everything Croatia from history, culture and architecture to the best places to eat was fabulous and he shared it unselfishly and with enthusiasm. The waterfalls themselves were breathtaking but what made the day special was Matej. He guides us along scenic trails and told us great stories of the area. Matej is a great guide and storyteller. His knowledge is amazing. If you are going to Croatia, go with Matt.he turns a beautiful place into an unforgettable memory.
Better than expected. Matt created this tour for our large group. He was a wealth of information, gave us a great history lesson, and was such a nice guy. He made us lunch reservations at a fantastic quaint lake side restaurant that we loved too. He went above and beyond.
WOW. The Tour was planned perfectly. Amazing places and views to remembers. Matt was as usual professional and thought us the all history of Split Thank you
Sooooo super pretty!!!! Matt is excellent !!!!!
Our day with Matt was a highlight of our 2 week vacation! He was most genuine, knowledgeable and intuitive to our interests. His experience brought the region to life in a way that made history come alive once more!
- meeting in Split (or Šibenik) - 60-70 min drive to NP Krka - hiking in the park and admiring the waterfalls - visiting 17 cascades of the Skradinski buk falls - exploring ethno-village and the old watermills - enjoying canyon ride by river boat - beach opportunity (water is warm enough from June to September) at the river estuary, or when we would come back to Split (please note, the beach stop is usually only possible for land guests) - optional lunch (there are amazing restaurants around Krka!).
