Hello! My name is Lea, Split is my hometown and I'm a licensed tour guide for Split-Dalmatia, Dubrovnik-Neretva and Šibenik-Knin county, both in English and Spanish language. I was born in Split, I have been living here for more than 20 years and I'm passionate about sharing its beauty and culture! I got my Master's degree in Marketing, at Faculty of Economics here in Split. Following my university studies, I moved to Barcelona to do an internship before returning back to Split. I have always enjoyed learning languages, travelling and experiencing different cultures. Soon after graduation I have realised that office job doesn't suit me and I started to work as a tour guide, which was the best decision I have ever made! When I'm not tour guiding, I love to learn languages - I can speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. Yoga is also one of my passions, I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) by International Yoga Alliance. Local gastronomy has always interested me, so I decided to do a course for a wine consultant to get to know more about the rich wine history in Croatia. In my free time, I love long walks with my dog and reading books. I absolutely love my job and cannot wait to share with you all the beauties that the city of Split and the region of Dalmatia have to offer! If you were looking for a private guide to experience the region like a true local - you are right where you should be!

Darko B.

Dear visitors, my name is Darko, I've been in love with Croatia since the first day of my life and my goal is to pass that love to You. I was born and raised in Split, pearl of the Mediterranean sea and since forever I am fascinated by history, culture and nature. At the beginning of my career I worked in Croatian national theater and in Split city museum as an official tour guide and that experience with knowledge I got from my older colleagues helped me a lot and gave me a big impulse in becoming freelancer. Today my full time job is producer of cultural events but my true passion is tour guiding. As I am scuba diver, hiker and big fan of football, I incorporate all those hobbies and knowledge in my tours.

Slavica L.

Hi, I am Slavica, welcome to my beautiful Dalmatia! I am a licensed tourist guide for the Split-Dalmatia County for the English language. I was born and live in Split, and I grew up in the town of Kaštela, which is located right between two UNESCO cities, Trogir and Split. I come from a traditional family of fishermen and farmers who have lived in Kaštela for almost 400 years. From my grandfather, an olive grower and winegrower, I listened from an early age stories about our turbulent past, cultural heritage, and interesting and brave people who opposed many attacks of various invaders and managed to maintain their way of life and values. After completing my classical education in Split, I spent some wonderful years in London where I attended media studies, then returned home, and until recently worked as a camerawoman and editor for the national news. 2019 came, and I decided to turn my career around. I decided to follow my dreams and try something new, so I earned a degree to be a tour guide, and thus combined my two passions into one: interpreting historical and cultural heritage, and "capturing" those special and happy moments on camera. Apart from history, art, and film, I adore good home-made food, which we have in abundance in this Mediterranean area, and I will be happy to share some secret recipes with you.

Plitvice Lakes National Park Private Tour

It's time to go chasing waterfalls! The Plitvice Lakes in Croatia can emit hues ranging from green and grey to blue and azure. Minerals and organisms residing in the series of sixteen interconnected lakes in combination with the shifting sunlight provide this spectacular rainbow dance several times a day. Add to that the waterfall connecting the separate lakes and the surrounding woodland populated by deer, bears, wolves, and birds, and the Plitvice Lakes are something out of a fairy-tale.
