        The most interesting tour I have done so far in all my trips! The previous 5-star ratings led me to book this tour and I am so happy I did!! You get to discover a time in Croatia that is off the guidebooks, learnings about the mentality and architecture during Yugoslavian period, on a very fun way and driving a retro car, the Yugo! Teo did a fantastic job and the two hours flew by. He dropped us at a great restaurant, which was a great recommendation! Don't leave Zagreb without doing this tour.

        The Highlight of Our Trip: A 5-Star Yugo + the Socialist City Tour with Teo
        Our recent Yugo + Socialist City Tour in Zagreb, led by the exceptional local guide Teo, was the absolute highlight of our trip. From start to finish, the tour exceeded our expectations, and we cannot express enough how much we loved this experience. Setting up the tour was a breeze, thanks to Teo's efficient and responsive communication. The process was seamless and hassle-free. The private tour format made the entire experience feel intimate and personalized. Teo's passion for the subject matter, combined with his incredible firsthand accounts, transformed the tour into an engaging conversation. We felt privileged to delve deep into the socialist history of Yugoslavia with such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Teo's expertise and storytelling abilities were exceptional. His firsthand experiences and profound knowledge of the socialist era in Yugoslavia provided us with a comprehensive understanding of the period. His narratives were captivating, and his nuanced insights shed light on the political, social, and cultural aspects of that time. During the tour, Teo surprised us with historically relevant snacks, adding a thoughtful touch to the experience. It was a lovely detail that made us feel even more immersed in the historical context. The tour took us to specific landmarks in Zagreb that played a crucial role in the socialist history of Yugoslavia. Exploring sites such as the Mammoth, the Cube, and New Zagreb, we were able to visualize and comprehend the significant impact of socialism on the city and its people. It was a thought-provoking journey that left us with a newfound appreciation for the complexities of this historical period. Teo's recommendations for the rest of our time in Zagreb were invaluable. We followed his suggestions and were rewarded with unforgettable experiences that complemented our exploration of Yugoslav history, such as visiting the 80's museum. Additionally, Teo's recommendations for other attractions, including the Museum of Broken Relationships, Lotrščak Tower, Mali Medo Brewery, and the funicular, gave us a well-rounded vision of Zagreb. TLDR, the Yugo + Socialist City Tour with Teo was not only the highlight of our trip but also an experience that will stay with us for a lifetime. Teo's passion, firsthand accounts, and exceptional storytelling skills made the tour extraordinary. If you're visiting Zagreb, this tour is an absolute must. It will provide you with a deep understanding of history and leave you with memories that will forever be cherished. It's a 5-star adventure!

        What a fun time!
        This was the best tour to get acclimated to the city! The Yugo was fun - and like new - and it was just a great experience all around! Would definitely not miss!

        Brilliant tour
        Had a brilliant few hours with Teo while he drove us around in an old Yugo while telling us about some of the history from the old Yugoslavia and communism. Would fully recommend this insightful tour.

        Teo provided a unique and interesting view of how people lived during the communist times. His knowledge of the history was amazing and the Yugo was awesome. He went above and beyond.

        Custom mix of 2 tours
        I had a great time on a custom mix of 2 tours (socialist tour + abandoned hospital), as my time was a bit limited in Zagreb. The company was more than willing to accommodate me on that request, and the price was fair. Teo was a great guide, he was friendly and knowledgeable. The Yugo itself is a fun ride. I'll contact them again whenever I'll be back in Zagreb, as a lot of their tours on their website were so interesting that I'll need to go back and do the rest!

        Highly recommended. Highlight of our trip
        I would highly recommend this tour and was one of the highlights of our trip to Zageb. Guide was brilliant and was fascinated to hear not only history of Croatia and Zagreb, but also of Yugo cars themselves. A brilliant way to see the city and the surrounding hills in a car that draws a lot of attention! Do it!

        Yugo tour
        Brilliant tour in Yugo, great history about the city. Loved the climb to the mountain and the visit to the abandoned hospital, can't recommend enough if you are visiting Zagreb 😀

        Most unusual, interesting tour!
        Teo’s positivity and enthusiasm for his country’s history was fantastic. He came prepared with visual aids to explain the city. We had no idea of the history of Croatia but Teo was thorough and descriptive in explaining it to us. We learned what it was like to live under communist rule – how the housing was built, jobs, infrastructure, etc. He even treated us to some candy from that time period. We felt completely safe in his hands and learned to appreciate what that time was like. Would recommend.

        Yugocar Adventure is one of the best tours I have ever been on, for real!
        My husband and I spent two days with Antonija and her Yugo. Our first day, she took us all around Zagreb for the Yugo and The Socialist City Tour. We visited places that we would not have even known about without taking this tour. Throughout the tour, Antonija told us stories about the places we visited and about growing up in Zagreb. On day two, we drove out to the beautiful countryside to visit Tito’s village, an open-air museum. Antonija showed us around the village and explained each of the exhibits. Then we visited a restaurant with excellent food and a view of a castle. To top off these awesome tours, she let my husband drive her beloved Yugo! Antonija’s tours are well planned, informative, and engaging. She is knowledgeable about regional history from the medieval period to the present day. Antonija treated us to a VIP experience. Don’t miss the chance to take a tour with Yugocar Adventure. You will be hard-pressed to find another tour out there with the quality and charm of Antonija’s tours.

      The trip I had with the organizer Antonija as a guide in the yugo car is one of the best and most interesting trips that left me breathless on a couple of occasions. I haven't felt so much combination of natural beauty, history, fun and curiosity in "one place" for a long time in that way. Antonija is totally simple, dear and full of knowledge that she transmits so well that you can't wait to hear more. Absolutely every recommendation and I would go again 🥳❤️ Very impressed.

      We went on the yugo car adventure with Antonia and had a great time! It's not a typical tour every agency offers which makes it even more interesting and worth seeing. Antonia is an amazing and friendly guide, very informative and willing to share all the interesting facts and knowledge about the places we had visited. I highly recommend this tour!

      Really, expect the unexpected. We were pleasantly surprised with this tour, since we did not know such places even existed in Croatia, it was a very underground experience :) Antonia was a great storyteller & guide, positive vibes only kinda roadtrip. Plitvice part of the tour was as expected, beautiful, even in the autumn. Would recommend it & even go again :)

      My wife and I planned this trip and Teo was our private tour guide for the Plitvice Lakes National Park. He was too good. Very friendly and explained everything about the park and also about the Croatian culture. He also gave us additional tips on where to eat and hangout. If you're planning your trip here in Croatia then Teo is the person to go to.
