Zagreb Beyond the Guidebooks
Hello, dear walkers! Zagreb is my hometown, which I never leave, except when I travel somewhere like you do :) So, I am a true local guide. In 2009 I became a licensed tourist guide for Zagreb city and Zagreb County. Since then, I have been conveying my love for Zagreb to people from all over the world, presenting the city through interesting stories and facts, with fun, but in a professional way. As a big fan of travel, I got a chance to visit many countries on almost all continents, but every time upon return to my city, I fall in love with it again.
