🇭🇷 Benvenuti / Dobrodošli / Welcome!
Ciao! My name is Frane (Francesco) — a licensed local tour guide in Split, Croatia, and a great admirer of Italian culture, art, and history.
I lived in Rome for five years, where I completely fell in love with la bella vita, art, and the spirit of the Eternal City. Italy became my second home — and it shaped how I tell stories about my own country, Croatia.
I also spent a year in the United States as an exchange student, where I perfected my English and discovered how to share history in a fun, engaging, and easy-to-understand way.
Since 2006, I’ve been guiding guests from all over the world — working with major travel companies such as TUI, Alpitour, Atlas, Viking Cruises, Celebrity Constellation, and Abercrombie & Kent.
Today, I run my own company — Luxuria Tempus, specialized in tailor-made private tours in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
🏛️ Discover Split — “la perla dell’Adriatico”
Join me on a walking tour through Split, where every stone tells a story.
We’ll explore the magnificent Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and wander through its ancient Roman cellars, narrow medieval streets, and lively local markets.
I’ll share with you the legends, curiosities, and hidden corners of this unique city — where ancient Rome meets the Mediterranean soul.
Whether you are passionate about history and art, or you simply want to feel the authentic Dalmatian atmosphere, I’ll adapt the tour to your rhythm and interests — with a smile and a touch of Italian flair! 🇮🇹
Benché avessimo prenotato solo io e mio marito, Frane non ha annullato e abbiamo potuto approfittare di un tour privato. Molto interessante e guida preparata!
Bellissimo tour con moltissime informazioni e curiosità interessanti e divertenti! Frane è una guida espertissima e con una conoscenza incredibile della storia, raccontandola con entusiasmo e senza mai annoiare!
We were very luck to have Frane all to ourselves on the day (pre season) and learn that he is a private guide on Tours with Locals. He is a wealth of knowledge and passionate about his country, history and heritage.
È stato veramente piacevole visitare il palazzo di Diocleziano e dintorni con Frane, che si è dimostrato una guida preparata e simpatica. Ci ha raccontato tante cose interessanti e dato consigli utili sulla città in generale. Consigliatissimo!!
