Highlights of the Tour
Get an introduction to the rich history of the Croatian
capital, dating back to medieval times, on a 2.5-hour guided walk. Your local
guide will take you from the main square, Ban Jelacic, to the cathedral, which
is one of the most important landmarks in the city. Hear about the origins of
the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the difficulties it
has sustained, and its renovation. Your route takes you to vibrant Tkalciceva
Street, better known as the bar street, where there’s always a steady stream of
people. Hear about the philosophy of lounging and other everyday habits of the
locals. A short stroll away is the
charming funicular. This is the oldest form of public transportation in the
city and has brought joy to the citizens of Zagreb for over 125 years. Hop on
and take a ride to Gradec, the upper town. Gradec is one of the 2 medieval
settlements that formed Zagreb. Take a walk along the charming Strossmayer
promenade, the best spot for panoramic views of Zagreb rooftops. See the
Lotrscak Tower and Saint Mark’s Church. The church with its picturesque rooftop
appears on the postcard that is most frequently sent from Zagreb. Explore the
side streets, discover their charm, and perhaps even enter one of the old
courtyards. Descend to the oldest pharmacy in Zagreb, dating from the 14th
century. Walk through the stone gate as you leave the upper town. The gate was
a part of the defence system for the old city and is the only gate that has
survived. Inside here is a small chapel housing the miraculous picture
depicting Our Lady, the patron saint of Zagreb. After your visit to the old
town, your guide will tell you about witchcraft and the Brotherhood of the
Croatian Dragon, and show you some hidden gems of the city. Your tour ends back
at the main square, where you’ll learn how Zagreb got its name before saying
goodbye to your guide.

Highlights of the Tour
Sarajevo
Walking Tour: During this tour you will feel as though you have stepped back in
time. Sarajevo is one of the most historically curious and diverse cities in
Europe. It is an illustration of historical turbulences and the clash of
civilizations, as well as a beacon of hope for peace and tolerance through
multi-cultural integration.
First, the
tour will take you to the Sarajevo City Hall, one of the most beautiful
buildings from the Austro-Hungarian period. It is the National Library of
Bosnia and Herzegovina and it faces the Miljacka River and the Emperors Mosque,
the oldest mosque in the town. We will take you to the Latin Bridge, also known
as the Princip’s Bridge, where Franz Ferdinad was assassinated.

crafts, traditions and many other things. We will visit the Bezistan, a covered
market, with many small trade shops. You will also learn about the Taslihan –
remains of the biggest karavan-saray in the town.
Sarajevo
Tunnel the Hope Tour - 1425 days of the siege, 500 000 shells were fired at the
city. The longest siege in modern warfare – it lasted three times as long as
the siege of Stalingrad. The ring of the siege spread in the length of 200 km
around the
city. The tunnel was the only way in and out of the city for the population of
Sarajevo and for supplies. The tunnel itself is a wonder of creation as it was
constructed, planned and dug in secret in a period of 3 months with workers
working round the clock and receiving payment as a pack of cigarettes (which
was a great commodity in war times) for digging from both ends and removing
2800 square meters of soil and finally connecting the two ends of the tunnel on
June 30th 1993. This tour is focused and shows you the resistance and spirit of
the people of the city and their fight for freedom.
