About Me

Hi, I’m Nikolina Tomasovic Bock. I studied journalism, but after some time, I realized that the fast-paced world of news wasn’t really for me. I decided to slow down and live more like my ancestors did, close to nature, in the countryside, with my dog, cats, chickens, and my husband.

There are many tour guides out there, so why choose me? I’ve traveled quite a bit and, like Candide from Voltaire said, there’s no better place than the one you know and where you grew up. That’s why I love showing people the real, authentic side of my country, the small towns and villages of Dalmatia where life still feels genuine and connected to the past.

When I travel, I’m not drawn to big cities, I love to wander in order to find the original cultural character. Instead, I want to see the places that make a country unique, the local traditions, the small details, the everyday life that tells a story. That’s exactly what you’ll find here.

This tour was so much more than we expected! Nikolina's storytelling brought the history of Split to life, and she knew all the hidden spots where we could avoid the crowds. The best part? A surprise stop for the most delicious local pastries!

We had an unforgettable day in Omiš! From standing atop the Mirabela Fortress, feeling like a pirate, to the thrilling zipline ride over Cetina Canyon, everything was just magical. Nikolina's passion and knowledge made all the difference!

Dalmatia is stunning, but seeing it with Nikolina was something else entirely. She tailored our tour to our interests, took us to a family-run konoba for the best seafood meal of our trip, and made sure we felt like locals for a day. Grazie mille, Nikolina!
