“We had a wonderful tour with Alida from Blue Bike Tours. The tour lived up to its billing with the itinerary following the Zagreb "horseshoe" of parks and districts in the Old Town with stops and commentary on contemporary life and the character of the city and its inhabitants - from terraces and bars to the mystery of finding the solar system within the city.

In between the history we got glimpses…”
