About Tour Guide Joško Z.
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

“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.

World War II in Split
This is a heritage tour, with the elements of a dark tour, which tells the story of World War II in Split. The tour places a great emphasis on the human aspect of the War and with storytelling, creates a better sense of reality and atmosphere of that time. You can learn how the War affected the lives of ordinary people by hearing their stories of fighting, resistance, sacrifices and loses, but also discover which parts of the town were bombed or where the bomb shelters were.
