Ciao, cari visitatori! Zagabria è la mia città natale, che non lascio mai, tranne quando viaggio come voi :) Quindi, sono una vera guida locale. Nel 2009 sono diventata guida turistica autorizzata per la città di Zagabria e la sua contea. Da allora, trasmetto il mio amore per Zagabria a persone provenienti da tutto il mondo, presentando la città attraverso storie e fatti interessanti, con divertimento, ma in modo professionale. Da grande appassionata di viaggi, ho avuto la possibilità di visitare molti paesi in quasi tutti i continenti, ma ogni volta che torno nella mia città, me ne innamoro di nuovo.
My wife Dinara and I were delighted with this walking tour led by Marina. Although the weather didn’t help (it rained on and off during almost the entire tour), Marina showed great professionalism, keeping everyone engaged and making sure people interacted with each other. As she says herself, she doesn’t want the tour to be a monologue, but an interactive and enjoyable experience, and she definitely succeeds. The time really flies by during the tour. As she had already seen us on the other tour we took with her the day before, Marina kept answering all our questions, whether they were about history, current events, or topics related (or even unrelated) to the tour. During this tour, we especially enjoyed learning about the history of Zagreb’s Upper Town, the 300-meter underground tunnel, and all the information Marina shared while we were walking through it, as well as the funicular. We also had the chance to meet a lamplighter who still lights the street lamps by hand, keeping this old tradition of public lighting alive. We visited the beautiful St. Mark’s Square and the impressive Zagreb Cathedral, and also learned how the cathedral was affected by the 2020 earthquake. We also learned more about the connection between Mother Teresa and Zagreb, as well as an interesting and touching story from Marina’s family, which helped us better understand life in Yugoslavia and the reality of those times, among many other fascinating things. We would also like to thank Marina for her culinary recommendations: cafés, restaurants, and more. Those we had time to visit were excellent. One more important recommendation: Marina also leads another tour called "Zagreb Green Horseshoe – Lower Town", which we highly recommend. If you want to get a complete perspective of Zagreb, we encourage you to join both of her tours… and we are so glad we did! :)
My wife Dinara and I were delighted with this walking tour led by Marina. Marina does a great job of keeping everyone engaged and making sure people interact with each other. The time flies by during the tour. We were especially impressed by her knowledge and her ability to answer every question, whether it was about history, current events, or topics related (or even unrelated) to the tour. It is clear that she genuinely enjoys what she does, and she conducts the tour with outstanding professionalism. My wife and I have joined many walking tours in different cities across Europe, and honestly, Marina is among the very best guides we have had. During the tour, we especially enjoyed learning about the history of Zagreb's Lower Town, fascinating curiosities about Nikola Tesla, the connection between the Esplanade Hotel and the Orient Express, and the meteorological column, which has been displaying temperature and air pressure since XIX century, and much much more. We were also lucky enough to see the Cravat Regiment (30 Years' War) on horseback. It was amazing to see these soldiers in their historical uniforms and learn from Marina about the origin of the modern necktie. One more important recommendation: Marina also leads another tour called "Zagreb Beyond the Guidebooks", which we highly recommend. If you want to get a complete perspective of Zagreb, we encourage you to join both of her tours... and we are so glad we did!!! :)
An excellent in-depth and conversational tour.
Marina is an immensely knowledgeable and erudite professional. She is dedicated to her profession and wants to ensure that her patrons get more than the value of their money. She is able to answer any question with consummate depth and context. The 2.5 hours we spent with her was one if the better investments of time in recent time. Absolutely fantastic. Would recommend this tour to everyone coming to Zagreb.
It was a great experience! Marina shared a lot of interesting history in depth and made the tour very engaging. She was very friendly and attentive to our questions throughout the tour. We also received excellent recommendations for local food and attractions to visit in Zagreb. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the city beyond the guidebooks!
