Highly recommended. Diana is an amazing guide. She made our experience very interactive and full of great shunks of information about Croatia and Yugoslavia. The amount of energy and hard work for this tour is evident. The previous reviews don’t lie when they say is one of the best free tour.. because for us was also like that!

Description

Discover Zagreb's darker side and tour the places that were the setting for the recent Croatian war. See the consequences of the conflict and the regeneration of the Croatian capital.

Tour Highlights

The tour meets at the indicated time in Ban Jelačić square, from where we'll begin our tour of the scene of the Croatian War of Independence, which shook the country between 1991 and 1995, putting an end to the former Yugoslavia.

For a little over two hours, we'll tour the streets of Zagreb, exploring the devastating consequences of the war on the civil population. We'll see those places worst affected by the bombardments and discover new buildings where once there were schools, hospitals, and houses.

We'll explore the underground tunnels from the Second World War and feel as though we had returned to Croatia in the mid-20th century. We'll discover their use as we tour the dark galleries they form today.

Then, after several hours of learning about the Croatian War of Independence and the mark it left on Zagreb, our tour will come to an end.
