Absolutely perfect way to explore Rijeka in a day! - 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!!

Great way to see the city when coming in on a cruise - 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
