He has a good historic knowledge, and can also tell the real story of the people of the city. There were only 10 of us for the tour. To improve the tour, I would recommand Toni to speak more clearly, be more precise in his stories, and make a clear distinction between his funny jokes keep the fun, that's really pleasant and the actual tour information. It's mainly a question of making everything clear. Thanks a lot Toni…”

Fascinating stories of the history from 4th century onward. We learned the history of the Jewish people in Croatia and visited the synagogue, still in use today. Jelena was voted best tour guide by our adult children (28, 26, and 22) out of every tour they have ever taken (and we are very picky about reading reviews and choosing guides).”
