Great walking tour
Published on May, 2024
We had a great walk through Zagreb with Alan, our tour guide. We learnt about many great Croatians and their influence on world science, discovery, military history and the arts.
Saw many corners of the city we may not have discovered on our own and received plenty of good recommendations for the rest of our tour.
Highly recommended.
Best walking tour ever!!
