An absolute must - 10/10 recommend!
Hrvoje_C
, Jun 2022
I absolutely loved this tour. Katarina was incredibly knowledgeable and did a great job of sharing historical facts in an easy to understand way. I was really blown away with the way she discussed the context of historical events while being very emotionally intelligent and adding her own personal stories. Highly recommend for anyone interested in learning more about Croatia’s complicated history over the past century. 10/10!
Excellent content, masterfully conveyed

Easy-to-follow explanations of the history of the country. Guides have superb command of English and thoughfully applied this throughout. Very direct answers to questions from the participants. A highlight in terms of content, for me, and something I will remember... was the explanation of death camps in Croatia and who was responsible for setting up and running them. I had not considered this point of view before.
Excellent

A timely tour and great guide.

The history of the Balkans is a period in which I was woefully ignorant UNTIL I took this tour. The guide pulled the pieces of the region's tumultuous history together with many visual props and on-site locations.The tour's emotionally charged conclusion (in a bomb shelter) was particularly poignant, esp. in light of the current situation in Ukraine.
Bringing insight to Croatia

Best historical tour I've had in years.

Excellent guide, perfect story and speed of the tour and talk. Not as other tours, were it takes for ever to get to the point. Very intersting with such a good and well educated guide, with the side of the Croatians. (a little wish, that the end is not that strongly bias, but remain on the objective side, as the rest of the tour)
The best 2,5 hours spend, if you come to Zagreb. Take this tour.
(Don't go Hop on Hop of bus, town is to little)
Note that it is rather cold in the basement the last hour of the tour. Bring sweater.
Great peek into Croatia history

Sensory and informative tour of the geographical, political and social development of Croatia
Harriet_D
, Mar 2022
Our tour guide gave us a fascinating sea of knowledge about Croatian history and culture in a well explained way. Would highly recommend to all tourists as it gives you a lot of background about Croatia’s journey to independence. The stops were well-selected and overall It was also particularly interesting to see history through a different lens that a first-world country could never provide.
Excellent Tour for History Lovers

Our tour guide had an excellent knowledge of the subject since he lived through it. His explanation and stories were very clear and kept me very interested. He did a great job taking participants from loud traffic noise so he was very easy to hear. I highly recommend this tour.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
