This is primarily a walking tour that provides insight into Rijecka (history, purpose, current state). Sonja did an excellent job of providing interesting pertinent information about the city we thoroughly enjoyed it.
This tour was absolutely phenomenal!! It was very personal and we learned so much about the beautiful city of Rijeka! The tour lasted approximately 3 hours and I feel that we saw all of the highlights plus were given plenty of recommendations for where to eat and what other activities we could also do in the afternoon if we chose to not go back to the ship early. We had such a great time - a perfect way to see the city on a cruise stop for sure! We were even met right at the cruise terminal. We highly recommend!!
Thank you so much on this amazing review
Dean our tour guide was excellent in his communication of the history of Rijeka and Croatia. One of the best tours I’ve taken.
Thank you so much on lovely review. It was very nice to meet you
This was the best way to see the city, coming on a cruise ship. Alessandra was so nice and informative. We were a family of 10 people with 4 kids under 8 years old and she found a way to make the history special even for them. She told us where to eat, where to buy tickets for less and is so passionate about her city that it’s contagious. I couldn’t recommend her more
Thank you so much for you kind review
Dean took our family around this small but resilient city and showed us what a beautiful gem it is. He knows so much about the history of Croatia it was really interesting. We really enjoyed our time with Dean.
Thank you, had nice time with you. Best regards
