I'm a Zagreb-born Sociology graduate and history enthusiast with almost a decade of tour guiding experience. Being fed up with doing standard tours gave me motivation to come up with a tour for your (and mine!) maximum enjoyment. That means you'll see all the highlights of a regular Zagreb tour, but we'll actually have fun doing it. The main question this tour sets out to answer is: Who are the people of Zagreb, and why are we the way we are? We'll take an in-depth look at Zagreb's history and social life through its most notable historical figures, their legacy, and events that still resonate today... All sprinkled with my personal experience of having lived in Zagreb my whole life. Not only will you get the facts and stories, I'll deliver them in a fun, engaging, and, most importantly, transparent way. I've got nothing to hide and you've got nothing to lose! Except a very reasonable sum, but that's beside the point. Book your spot and let's have some good clean honest fun!
