A true Zagreb native, I have been living in the city all my life and spent years working with international visitors in a wide range of roles—as a licensed tourist guide, interpreter and translator, and language teacher.
My tours are in English, French, Italian, and Croatian. Passionate about languages, history, art, and walking, I love bringing Zagreb to life through its stories.
Walking the city with me you’ll discover fascinating historical moments, urban legends, vivid tales from the Communist era, and a closer look at Zagreb’s architecture—all seen through the eyes of someone who truly calls this city home.

Tour description
If you’d like to discover the heart and soul of Zagreb—its history, customs, and beliefs — this is a perfect tour for you!
Together, we’ll explore the most important sights in the city centre, including Downtown and the Upper Town, while uncovering the key events that transformed the old Zagreb into the city it is today.
I will take you to places that matter. We'll walk the Zagreb Horseshoe, the main city square and the old part of the city ... and I will present the people Zagrebians are proud of, and bring the past to life by connecting it with everyday life in Croatia’s capital.
