My walking tour is mostly history oriented because I graduated with a major in history so I designed my walking tour in accordance with my most prominent competencies. However, I always intend to adjust my walking tour depending on the people who booked it so I don't take always the same route and don't cover the same topics. Expect some jokes as well 🙂 Feel free to ask me anything regarding your stay in Croatia.

Zadar's incredible Sea Organ , designed by local architect Nikola Bašić, is unique.
