I had so much fun on this tour with our guide Marko. He did an excellent job explaining the history and the perks of Rijeka. I had a bad first impression of the city because of all its constructions and cars but Marko gave me a new perspective on the city and I'm excited to give Rijeka a second chance. All in all the dynamic of the group was great, so when you come to Rijeka please try out this Free Walking tour.

Me and my friends loved every minute of this tour. The instructors were knowledgeable on both the history of the site and in teaching basic abseiling skills. Would highly recommend to anyone who is in the area to give it a go as it's worth every penny.

Incredible, the guide was extra helpful, suggested places to eat, go visit, out side of the tour. Helps a lot if you don’t have much time to research or shop around. He was happy to give me is whatsapp number. Was certainly money worth spending

Wonderful experience. A place you must visit in your life. Excellent tour. Draga, our tour guide, was a very kind person, careful driver, professional photographer and an excellent companion.

The tour also took you to parts of the city that you probably wouldn't have found on your own.
