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.

Ramida K., Thailand, Bangkok We enjoyed our long discovery trip in Croatia very much, starting from Split. At the end of the trip we really feel that Croatia is really greater beyond our expectation. And the most important thing we highly feel appreciated from guiding, not only your endless knowledge about your Croatia, but also the attentive services that you provided to our team members the whole trip with you which it's really rare to find this kind of services in the European countries. You are really exceptional good local guide we ever find.
