Kristina provided an excellent tour. She clearly understood her subject matter in depth and was able to engage with the tour group in a very effective and engaing manner. A thoughtful and at time poignant tour. Thank you Kristina

Absolutely amazing tour by a passionate highly educated and knowledgeable local. Ivana provided an incredible and detailed overview of the history of Yugoslavia, Croatia and the Balkans covering the politics, the wars and although such a personal connection, provided a healthy balanced perspective. It is the historical detail and knowledge that should be taught in all Croatian schools. I had previously read that the Croatian government still do not own any of their part in the ethnic cleansing that happened during the war, when they facilitated the murder of Jews, Serbs and Romas, and it is evident by a capital city that has a museum of selfies, but not a single institution that provides historical reflection of the wars or politics that shaped the past. A sad indictment on a country with so much potential.

Diana is an exceptional tour guide. The Balkans is a complex mixture of ethnicity, religion and nationality which for us overseas visitors can be difficult to understand and appreciate. Diana’s explanations, in perfect English, helped unravel the history and explain the tragedies of war in this part of the world. I particularly appreciated Diana’s personal stories about grandparents who looked back at the Tito years with nostalgia and warmth. Yet Diana also explained the state police aspect under Tito’s rule and how the famous leader balanced competing interests from the east and western powers. The final part of the tour featuring a film in a basement built in 1746 was extremely informative, poignant and moving. Thank you Diana.
