If you want to experience the vibrant local spirit and explore our city's culture through the lens of Croatian cuisine spiced up with little history, this tour is for you. Delve with us into Croatian culture and culinary traditions as we uncover the interplay between food and history. From uncovering the roots of why Croatians breathe the way they do to exploring the connections between food and historical events, you'll gain a deeper understanding of our table culture. Our tour isn't just about tasting delicious dishes; it's a journey filled with insights into why Croatian cuisine is so intertwined with our heritage. Along the way, we'll visit significant Zagreb landmarks, each with its own story to share and try a variety of traditional foods... and hopefully, my personal touch will as well enhance your experience, for just a little bit.
