Best start of my trip

I went on a tour with Daria today. I’ve done quite a few during my Interrail trip, but this one was by far the best. She was also easily the friendliest guide I’ve ever met. Thanks for today, Daria. ????

Strongly recommend - Do not miss this tour!

Daria is extremely charming and knowledgeable, Zagreb is far more interesting city that I ever hoped for. I learned a lot, had a ton of laughs and all in all had a great time. Prepare for tipping because there it will never amount to how much effort and talent she gives on her tour.
