About US
hello!
My name is Ivica Profaca, owner of Cardo Tours, guide for Split-Dalmatian and Šibenik-Knin Counties in Croatia, and 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, heritage and social life of Split and the surrounding area. I never stop exploring squares, street corners, people, events, stories, secrets, or 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 will introduce you to hidden spots, away from beaten paths.
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!
Testimonials
This was an excellent tour. We walked around
the part of the city not typically explored by tourists. This was an
opportunity to take really beautiful panoramic photographs and get a full view
of Split. I was also happy to discover several nice swimming spots.
Another OMG day. I had a tour/discussion about the history of Split this afternoon. Except I was the only one in my group. Therefore an incredible 1:1 transference of information. Ivica was my guide (...) the amount of knowledge about the little niches and little known facts is amazing. 5 stars across the board!
I think tourists know when they have a guide who as just memorized some historical facts and delivers the tour with little gusto. This is not true of Ivica. His passion for history is immediately visible and we felt like a little family group traveling through history with Ivica
Ivica went out of his way to keep the tour
informative but still have the right blend between history learnings and
relevance to the group
He knows the biggest and smallest secrets of Split
and is happy to tell all. This is someone with a great love for their home and
he shows it with all the stories he tells, the freshness of a tour which he
must have given many times, and all the little things he points out that a
tourist might not notice or find in a travel book
