Hello and Welcome – Dobrodošli!

I'm Frane (pronounced Frah-neh), your personal guide to the heart of Croatia. Born and raised in Split, I’ve spent over 20 years exploring the rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture of this beautiful region. After living and studying in both Italy and the United States, I’ve developed a unique perspective that allows me to connect with visitors from all over the world.

Since 2005, I’ve been sharing my love for this country, guiding travelers through its hidden gems and well-known wonders. My goal is to make every tour unforgettable—whether you’re a history buff, an adventure seeker, or a foodie looking for the best local flavors.

With a degree in History and Economics, I specialize in private, customizable tours throughout Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. From ancient Roman ruins to enchanting medieval towns, scenic vineyards, and charming villages, I offer tours that combine breathtaking nature with deep cultural insights. Every tour is personalized based on your interests—whether you're tracing your family roots or seeking hidden gems off the beaten path.

Your experience will be personal, authentic, and tailored to your passions. I offer carefully curated moments designed to make you feel like you’re exploring with a friend—someone who knows the land, its history, and its people. Expect a relaxed pace with plenty of time to take in the sights, savor the flavors, and learn the stories behind the landmarks.
