What people are saying about Central Croatia

We had the most awesome, informative tour ever. Our guide Bojan was out of this world and changed my mind about guided tours. He was so polite, respectful, cheeky and overflowing with information that no question stomped him. He had the times right on to the second and perfectly timed all of the stops to make sure we had toilet breaks, food and souvenirs and of course the best spots to take the photos.

Small city but rich in history. The tour covered a lot but it was not too much.

I learned a lot during the tour, Ivan was very informative and funny.
