My name is Ivica Profaca, from Split, Croatia. I am a licensed English guide for Split‑Dalmatia County and Šibenik-Knin County, and a member of the Association of Tourist Guides Split. For years I’ve worked with leading local and international agencies and contribute to different publications of the Tourist Board Split.
Before guiding I spent nearly 30 years as a journalist, which keeps me closely connected to all aspects of the city’s life. Today, I still write as a freelancer in several media, mostly travel stories. I’m passionately interested in Split’s history, heritage and social life, and I never stop exploring its squares, street corners, people, events, and nearby biking and hiking paths.
On my tours you’ll discover Split’s priceless heritage—from Diocletian’s era to the present—along with hidden gems and the local spirit only residents know. I also offer excursions to the surrounding area, rich in UNESCO sites, historical landmarks, natural beauty and outdoor activities. Welcome to Split, Dalmatia and Croatia!
