Hello, My name is Joško (pronounced: Yosch-ko) and I am a Licensed Tour Guide by Ministry of Tourism in Croatia, with expertise in the Region of Dalmatia. I was born and raised in Split, grew up in '80s/'90s during times of Communism and Homeland War and still live here. I specialized in active and cultural small group travel, privately guided and custom designed tours throughout Dalmatia, the oldest and most beautiful region of Croatia. My experiences in tourism, formal education, and authentic knowledge of the amazing Dalmatian Coast and it’s rich surroundings have led me to turn my passion into my profession. I graduated from the University of Zagreb with Master's degree in Economics & History Studies. Since 2002 I have been guiding and creating customized tours in Croatia and during this time I have enjoyed partnering with several US and European travel companies. I truly believe a Croatian destination will always be gorgeous and fascinating and I simply love of being an ambassador of my beautiful country with visitors. As an experienced Tour Guide that gives an insider’s perspective and as a resident of the region that has plenty of local lore to share, it will be my pleasure to make your vacation time in my country joyful and memorable for a years to come. I am also very happy and proud to show you my hometown and region 'through the eyes of locals'. I am looking forward to hear from you and hope to see and host you here in Split. Živili (Cheers)!!! Joško

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.

“Great adventures in and near Split”
"Henry" is one heck of a guide. He has been one of our favorites in all of our travels. We booked his services while in Split for the day as part of a cruise, and we couldn't be happier. First stop was the remarkable retirement palace of the Emperor Diocletian. One could spend days here just wandering around. Henry was able to focus our attention on sites of special significance and gave an insider's view of this incredible space. Next, we were off in his car to the fortress at Klis. Comprehensive info was given during the drive so we had a good foundation for our exploration here. We were given a nice amount of free time to experience the impressive ruins on our own too. We decided to skip a lunch break and headed for Trogir, a charming old town which has a lovely pedestrian-only center. After more independent adventures, Henry safely got us back to the cruise port with no worry about missing the boat. Henry has been one of our favorite guides overall. He knows how to give a balanced tour which incorporates some time for self-exploration as well as insightful history and commentary. He is intelligent and personable and eager to show his wonderful area of the world to his guests. Highly recommend him!

“Tour of Diocletian's palace”
Josko was a fantastic guide. He met with us late in the evening as we were just passing through Split and had little time to fit in a tour. Josko was accommodating and arranged a tour around our schedule. He is very knowledgable about the Palace, specifically, and Split's and Croatia's history generally. I'm a history buff and my wife is not, so he had to balance differing levels and areas of interest. He picked up very quickly that she preferred the human stories, while I enjoyed a broader sweep of history. He kept us moving briskly along, took great pictures along the way and made sure we saw the sunset from the palace windows facing the sea. It was a great tour. You won't be disappointed with Josko! Highly recommended. Henry A.
