(16)

Hello, My name is Ivica Profaca, owner of Cardo Tours, a licensed guide for Split-Dalmatian and Šibenik-Knin Counties in Croatia, and a member of the Association of Tourist Guides Split. Besides guiding, I have decades of experience in journalism, both for Croatian and foreign media and as a blogger with the Tourist Board of Split. We at Cardo Tours are passionately interested in the history, heri

tage and social life of Split and the surrounding area. We never stop exploring squares, street corners, people, events, stories, secrets, biking, and hiking paths. Also, we can take you to any part of Central Dalmatia, from UNESCO World Heritage sites to hidden gems of the Dalmatian hinterland, its natural and historical jewels. We also offer tours for families with children and theme tours, for example about Jewish heritage, as well as some easier hiking tours. But above all, we aim to fulfil all your wishes, interests and goals you might have on your vacation. That's why we called our agency Cardo Tours; just like Romans called their main city routes Cardo, we will take you to our route to Dalmatian history and heritage! Welcome to Split, Dalmatia and Croatia!

When a group of five friends from the New York area, dedicated sailors, reached out to me saying they are interested in tours of Split and Trogir, something was telling me it will be a great experience. And it was. I enjoyed their sense of humour, smart remarks, and interest in Croatia and Dalmatia, their history, state of mind and lifestyle. And then they were off with a sailing boat, cruising from Split to Dubrovnik.
A few weeks later, an email arrived which made my day. I'm so glad they enjoyed my tours as much as they enjoyed their sailing trip. I hope they will be back sometime

Nothing can compare to a one-on-one tour, but there are situations when audio guiding like the one I offer via VoiceMap can fill the gap. Here is one of reviews:
"This was very interesting and informative. The instructions were also very clear. Thank you for the work you put into this. We really enjoyed it!"

"Such a great way to introduce Split to our kids! We all saw the city in a better light and learned so much about this beautiful city! Ivica was very interesting and thoughtful - he worked with us on Christmas Eve, which was above and beyond! Absolutely must do - preferably at the start of your vacation to Split!!"

Few words from Claudette (Juno, AL) about my Airbnb tour
"Ivica did an amazing job sharing the Jewish history of Split. Touring the old town and cemetery on Marjan Hill; including introductions to a charming member of the synagogue. Ivica’s knowledge and love for the city was evident. The pace and content was perfect. I’d highly recommend!"

Split - Obilazak započinje na Rivi, šetnici uz more, pored mjesta na kojem su nekoć stajali gradski Lazareti, karantenski i lučki kompleks koji je sagradio portugalski Židov Daniel Rodriga, čovjek koji je Split pretvorio u važan grad. Nastavlja se s Podrumima Dioklecijanove palače u kojima ....

Petra (Seattle, WA) was a great guest on my Airbnb tour. So is her review:
"This walking tour highlighting Jewish history in Split was very interesting. Ivica did a fabulous job of layering a brief tour of parts of the Diocletian palace architecture into the Jewish presence in the city and country historically. A highlight was the visit to the local synagogue & interaction with a charming & funny local resident there. Though we’d been in Split a week, Ivica pointed out new highlights we’d missed. The walk to the cemetery on Marjan hill through historic neighborhood was enjoyable. Ivica’s local & historical knowledge & insights were so worth the time spent. Ivica is a wonderful tour guide- well informed, a great storyteller & just a nice person to spend the day with & give you a different perspective on the town he’s grown up in. Definitely a great value."

It makes me so proud when I get a review like the one received from Emily (New Bern, North Carolina, USA):
"This is one of the best guided tours of a City I have ever been on. It is worth every cent and then some. Ivica was wonderful with our son (8, and hyper on the day of the tour) and made sure he was entertained and engaged for the entire tour."
