Hi, my name's Ante Batarelo, I'm a licenced tour guide for the Dalmatian Region in Croatia.

English is my mother tongue as I grew up in Sydney, Australia and graduated English Language & Literature. I've been living in Split, Croatia since 1991 and apart from lecturing I've been an active tour guide since 2000.

Over the years I've shown Croatia's sights to hundreds of people including many celebrities & internationally acclaimed people, e.g. CNN reporter Christiane Amanpour, Israeli politician Simon Perez & US travel guru Rick Steves. Some of the tour operators I work with are A&K, Tauck World Discovery & The Wayfarers.

My itineraries range from walking tours of the 1700 year old Diocletian's Palace, sites like the UNESCO town of Trogir, all National Parks, customised trips along the Dalmatian Coast, 'island hopping' (Croatia has over 1000), seeing & experiencing marvellous Dubrovnik, exotic places like Mostar in neighbouring Bosnia and much more.

I'd love to show you the sites of this unique part of the world and tell you all about the history, culture, customs, trivialities and of course give you plenty of time to indulge in the local cuisine.

Write to me and let me know whether you'd like a small private/exclusive tour or perhaps a group tour. In either case an unforgettable experience is guaranteed.
