This was an excellent tour. We got out of it way more than I was expecting. I learned so much about the area and the conflicts that they have experienced. Our guide, Vid, was outstanding. He was so open-minded and answered all our questions and was very neutral about the topics. It was really educational. I really enjoyed it. Highly recommended if you want to learn about the area.
Must go on tour

It was a great experience. Out guide - Darko put a lot of emotion in every story. The tour was two and a half hours but it was very enthralling and you can't feel the time passing. You learn a lot for the different war periods in this region. I definitely recommend this tour.

I did both the free city walking tour (with Luka) as well as the communism and war tour (with Vid) with this company. The free walking tour was a great way to get some general knowledge and history of Zagreb, while the Communism and War tour delved deeper into Croatia's war and political history. Both guides provided information in a fun, unbiased which helped to understand such a complex history.
