The walking tour of Rijeka with Sanjin was very interesting and we learned a lot but the tour didn't feel tiring at any point. He had great recommendations for restaurants and sights afterwards as well.

Made our short trip to Rijeka very interesting, lots of information about the history of Croatia and surrounding areas, the politics and changes over the years. First time doing a guru walk, now going to look into doing these again in different cities. Marko was informative and entertaining, would thoroughly recommend!

This was a fantastic tour. I had only 1 day in Rijeka, and I am so glad that I did this tour in the morning. Sanjin gave a really interesting history of Rijeka, and took us to the important sights. He brought the city to life with local legends and personal stories, all told with humour and passion. His recommendations were excellent - for food and for things to do! Be sure to try brudet for lunch and rigojanchi for dessert! Sanjin stayed around after the tour to answer my questions too, and was very welcoming. Be sure to take this tour as the first thing to do when you arrive in the city - an excellent introduction!
