Free Zagreb Upper and Lower Town Walking Tour
Hello, dear walkers! I am a local guide, born, grew up, and live in Zagreb all my life - in the same city, but in two countries :-) In 2009 I become a licensed tourist guide for Zagreb city and Zagreb County, in English and Croatian languages. Since then, I have been conveying this love for Zagreb to people from all over the world, presenting my city through interesting stories and facts, with fun, but in professional way. As a big fan of travel, I got a chance to know many countries on almost all continents, but every time I return to my city, I fall in love with it again.
