A word from the owner – Jakov Radman
Dear clients, travel enthusiasts and friends,
Let me introduce myself in a few words. This is a very important part of my website since it tells you what you can expect from The Guide. However, the next most important page on my website is Testimonials Page. There you will find the feedback from my dear guests who shared their experience with me as their tour guide.
Who is Jakov?
Being a people person and very passionate about history and culture, I have always been aspiring for and pursuing new experiences. My greatest pleasure has always been travelling and exploring the world. I have been traveling in different countries getting to know their cultures for more than 15 years now. However, during past few years I have been working as a tour guide and a tour leader throughout Croatia and surrounding region which ultimately became my most favorite occupation. It has been a dream come true when I got the opportunity to pass on my knowledge and passion for my country with my dear guests from all over the world. Sharing the glory and the beauty of Croatia and our region with my future friends continues to be my greatest joy.

4. People
Our guides are most dedicated, informative, helpful and engaged people whose company you should enjoy. They are extremely dedicated to what they do because they love our wonderful destinations and they love sharing them with others. Most of our guides grew up and lived in the area, developing significant knowledge and appreciation for all of our natural and cultural treasures.
5. Small enough to make a difference
The Guide is a little guy in this big global business of tourism. However, opposed to the big guy – companies doing thousands of tours each year, we like to bring it to a personal level and do more for you because we care. We are involved in every step and aspect of the service we provide. To us, you are a person with hopes and dreams eager to experience something new, a fellow traveler, a person who has something to share with us as well. You are the person whom we hope to become friends with.
6. The trust
The Guide tours are custom designed tours with a goal to let you enjoy the very best that a country has to offer. As such, they can occasionally be improved and amended according to the local conditions, climatic reasons etc. However, we will always do our best to make sure that the experience is overwhelming.
Simply put, you can trust us that we will do what we say we will do. We will never agree to arrange a tour that we cannot do well.
So enjoy, relax, keep a smile on your face and let us take care of the details for you. It all just adds to the adventure!
See you in Croatia!
Jakov
