I am so glad you decided to visit one of the most beautiful countries in the world, the country often called 'the place of 1000 islands' (we have 1183 of them, really!), 'the country of diversities' or 'the Mediterranean as it once was'!
My name is Matt and I come from the southern coast of Croatia, the region of fascinating beauty called Dalmatia (yeah, those cute white and black spotted dogs come from that region, too!). I live in the capital of Dalmatia - 1700 years old UNESCO protected city of Split.
I have been a member of the Association of tour guides of Split for more than 10 years and during this period I have been working with the main tour operators from Croatia, US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, such as Abercrombie & Kent, Exeter International, Travcoa, Croydon Travel, Captain's Choice, Kuoni, etc. I have been guiding and organizing tours, customized and tailor made itineraries for individuals around Croatia and abroad. For my clients arriving to Croatia I will be glad to organize and guide the whole variety of tours (half-day, one-day, one-week, two-week...) around Dalmatia and Croatia in general.
So...maybe you would like to have a morning walking tour of the historical 2 millennia old centre of the UNESCO city of Split and then enjoy traditional Dalmatian lunch in some of the typical 'konoba' restaurants afterwards, followed by visit to 3 millennia old UNESCO protected town of Trogir – just 30 minutes drive from Split?
Or you prefer pacing in amazing surroundings of hundreds of waterfalls of National park Plitvice, or National park Krka...
Would you like to admire the most transparent sea in Europe? Then you are on the right place (see pics ;) ).
Maybe you wish to enjoy the driver-guided tour or a cycling tour of one of world's 10 most beautiful islands – our island of Hvar...
Or you would like to explore one of the best known symbols of Croatia and the Mediterranean - UNESCO city of Dubrovnik and explore the wonderful region of Dubrovnik - peninsula Peljesac, island Korcula, Konavle region, river Neretva valley, or the neighboring country of Montenegro?
Whatever your requests are, please feel free to contact me and I will organize the tour that suits your plans, wishes and schedule the best, for the best price on the market!
I provide private walking tours, driver-guided tours, cycling and hiking tours for individuals and groups. I can organize a private speed boat or a private jet tour, too. I organize transfers, and all sorts of accommodation for my clients. Any other tour guide – a colleague of mine that might in certain circumstances be chosen for you, will be similarly qualified and experienced.
I look forward to being your private guide and to sharing with you my favorite places in Dalmatia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Italy or any other place you would like me to take you!
Kelly, Jessy, USA, Philadelphia I with my friend simply didn't expect that we would like this country... Our guide Matt Dancevic showed this country so perfectly, so skilfully! Thank you!
Ah, such sea! so clean and so warm! Their people, their houses and these narrow streets.. All became such native and unforgettable. I consider that Croatia is a fairy-tale place for rest..
Mary and Jordan, USA, Port Saint Lucie, Florida We spent our 25th anniversary on an eleven night privately guided tour of Croatia with Matej. He handled every detail of the trip and did a magnificent job. We saw the scenery, learned about the culture and history, and met the people. The evening he planned for our 25th anniversary is something we will never forget. He planned the trip based upon the things that we told him were important to us and no request was too difficult. We made a good friend and highly recommend Matej.
Tom and Shelley Cooper, USA, Oklahoma, Tulsa Matej - We had a great trip. Shelley and I agree that the day we spent on island Hvar with you was one of the best days of the trip! The sailing went well and we had no major problems. We had some great meals on the trip. The restaurants you recommended, Terramarique, and Zori (on Sv.Klement) are two of the best meals we have ever had anywhere in the world! The food was absolutely fantastic. We also had a great dining experience in Dubrovnik.
Garry Pellett, New Zealand, North Shore City, Auckland We met Matej while on a visit to Croatia to see my Grandfather's birthplace in the village of Podgora. Matej guided us through the Diocletian Place in Split and later Trogir. The added value he is able to bring to the experience is profound through his knowledge, culture his obvious joy in doing what he does. We have referred Matej to friends who have subsequently visited Croatia and all have provided similar feedback. We are looking forward to our next visit!
Janine & Doug, USA, Seattle, WA Dear Matej,
Thank you so much for all your guidance and support this past week. Your knowledge of Croatia is incredible and because of you we have a new appreciation of your beautiful country. We were able to do so much more than we ever dreamed it was possible. The extra experience you provided for us because of all your connections made this trip a truly unique experience we will always remember.

Joan, Canada, Calgary We enjoyed our tour of Split and Trogir with Matt emensely.
He was organized and responsive regarding the booking and meeting place and well informed about every aspect of the country and area. He communicated the tour information in a clear, interesting manner.
I would highly recommend touring with Matt and we would book with him if another opportunity arose.
Martha, Minnesota, USA, Minneapolis How could we be so lucky to have such a kind, flexible, can-do man for our guide? Your energy never flagged, your interest in us and desire to make the trip a good one for us and your skills were terrific. I really loved our trip to Croatia, and of the places I have been in the world, I would love to return to Croatia some day. Thank you.
Denise Wilsey, USA, Ravena Matej,
We are now back from our holiday Cruise of the Mediterranean and we wanted to Thank you again for a wonder tour of Split/Trogir/Salona.
We had a whirlwind trip, but we very much appreciated your time and your GREAT knowledge of history. You are like a walking history book. We had a wonderful time and hope that we can make it back to Croatia sometime soon to spend more time and learn more. You did a great job of getting us around with such little time.
Srdačan pozdrav,
Jim and Nancy, USA, Milford Dear Matt, we can't than you enough for our wonderful trip in Croatia. You have taken very good care of us and gone beyond the call of duty! We appreciate all of your efforts on our behalf.
You are a man of many talents and have the gift of working with people. It has been such a pleasure to meet you. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
Dabney Donigan, United States, Seattle, WA My friend and I wanted to go cycling around the islands surrounding Split, and we couldn't have picked a better guide. If you want someone for a cycling tour- PICK MATEJ! He is so sweet, and goes completely out of his way for you. We asked for a local place for lunch, and he took us to a family-owned konoba in a small town called Dol. It was probably the best food we had ever had in years, and the people were so incredible! If you are going to Croatia, please consider Matej. I beg of you.
Steve and Peggy Scott, USA, Charlotte, NC Thank you, thank you! You get a 10 for your knowledgeable guidance about your country and history. You infused enough humor to make it interesting and fun. Thank you for taking care of our every need. You accommodated our small group so well. We ‘ve had a fabulous trip and feel that we have come to know your country through your pride and enthusiasm. If you ever wish to visit North Carolina or Utah, look us up and we would be happy to show you around. Best wishes, Steve and Peggy.
Gill Dawning, USA, Washington DC Thank you for the experience that I will never forget. The time that I spent in Dubrovnik with you was wonderful. You have a beautiful country that I have never seen any place else. Thank you for all your facts and history to make our trip more enjoyable. You made my vacation one of my favorites. Thank you again.
Hilea, VT, USA, Burlington You have made the tours of Hvar and Brac islands a fantastic experience! I appreciated your explanations of Croatia’s culture and its history as it added to the enjoyment of this trip beyond measure. Thank you for sharing your family home with us for the picnic and for your patience. You have made Croatia come alive for me – I ‘ll look forward to exchanging information on additional Croatian films and would love to see the procession on Hvar via a video link next Easter. Stay safe and all the best.
George, Hungary, Budapest Dear Matej, we are just back from this excellent Hvar trip and I rush to thank You on behalf of our group Your expertise, helpfulness, not to mention Your vast knowledge and most pleasant personality, which all made a positive impression on everybody. Wishing You a lot of success in Your personal and professional life, sincerely, Your George K.
Debbie, USA, Miami We thoroughly enjoyed our short time in Croatia. Our guides in both locations (Split/Trogir and Dubrovnik) were wonderful and we learned a lot about the culture and the history. We were travelling with 2 teenagers who enjoyed the tours as much as we did thanks to the guides who were attentive to their questions, and engaged them in conversations that were of interest to them. In both spots, we had the chance to have a meal that represented the best of the region, and because the guides joined us in both restaurants, we were able to enjoy it in a way that we could not without them. We will come back, and I will contact you to be our guide again. I will also recommend you (and Croatia) to friends looking for a different experience.
Thank you, you and your team made our trip memorable.
