I really enjoyed the free walking tour of Tito's Yugoslavia. We had a small group with a lot of, maybe too much interaction from people within the group that disrupted the flow of the guide. That said I am not sure there was really much to see in terms of stops but we did learn a lot about Tito. The guide was a bit of a Tito fenatic which made for an interesting perspective.

Tolle Tour, die einem vor allem das Leben der Menschen in Jugoslawien näher bringt. Viele Ecken entdeckt, die wir sonst übersehen hätten. Sehr zu empfehlen!
