Hello, dear walkers! I am a local guide who was born, grew up, and has been living in Zagreb all the time. A passionate traveler as well, just like you are 😊 In 2009 I became a licensed tourist guide for Zagreb city and Zagreb County, in English and Croatian languages. Since then, I have been conveying my love for Zagreb to people from all over the world, presenting the city through interesting stories and facts, with fun, but in a 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.

The tour I went was a small group with only 3 people. It felt very personalised and customised. Marina was an enthusiastic and detailed guide who took her time to go through every single detail of the building and history of the city. Besides the history, she also shared many local stories and life. It was interesting to know that there is a local vineyard right in the middle of the city. There were volunteers who set up homes for street cats. Marina also shared on the local cuisine and dessert that not to be missed. Marina spent extra time for this tour just to cover all the sites. It was a very good walking tour that allowed me to know the city in much more in-depth manner. Strongly recommend!

Marina was very knowledgeable, very dedicated to her work because she was prepared to extend the tour longer than what was supposed to be. She also gave us the names of restaurants and bakeries where we could get local food. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk! Thank you Marina!

Marina is a passionate tour guide and wonderful storyteller. We visited spots that are not included in most standard tours. I learned a lot of things that I could not have read from the internet or guidebooks. To top it off, she is also very kind, and the tour felt more like a walk with a (very) knowledgeable friend. Thank you, Marina!
