“History Comes Alive - Well, I thought I had a decent grasp of history until I finished with the Military Tour! Although the insides of the bunkers are essentially bare, our guide made the empty rooms come alive with his entertaining and informative narrative about World War 2, Tito, and the post-Balkan War era. The Military Tour easily qualifies as one of the most unique activities I have participated in during my travels to Europe.” - Reviewed on 2020-09-04
