My name is Ivana and I am a licensed local tour guide for Istra, Primorje&Gorski Kotar, and Lika county in Croatia. My passions are traveling, languages, music, singing, food, tennis, and cats :) Much of my work experience has always been connected with tourism and people, but a tour guide license is what gave me an opportunity to fulfill my thirst for exploring, learning, and sharing experience with other people. Guided and inspired by one vision, I want to raise awareness about personalized travel and help independent travelers to have less familiar, less stressed, and more valuable guided tours in Croatia. I will create a preliminary itinerary, then we will continue to work closely with you to refine all details of your trip until you are sure it is your dream vacation. Croatia offers much more than nice weather, beaches, and beautiful landscapes. I will show you how it is to live and breathe Croatia and explore with you its mesmerizing, untouched nature, rich history, cultural heritage, and finest gastronomical experiences. My tours are highly customized to match your requirements and expectations. Croatia is full of life, let me show you. Welcome! Driver license Certified Tour Guide for Istra, Primorje&Gorski Kotar and Lika county (Croatia), I am not permitted to guide in any other languages except English. I am not permitted to give tours in any other county in Croatia, except Istra, Primorje&Gorski Kotar and Lika, but I can be a travel companion or a driver guide in restricted areas.

Overview of your Rijeka tour

Join me for an easy-going half-day walk through Rijeka, Croatia’s third-largest city and one of its most fascinating. Rijeka’s story is powerful and layered, shaped by ancient roots, industrial strength, and modern creativity. It’s no surprise the city proudly held the title of European Capital of Culture 2020. As we explore the city on foot, I’ll share the stories that make Rijeka so unique. Did you know the torpedo was invented right here? Or that Rijeka was one of the most important ports of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy? You’ll also hear about the Carpathia’s final stop in Rijeka before sailing to rescue Titanic survivors, and why Rijeka hosts one of the world’s largest and liveliest carnivals. This relaxed walking tour is all about discovering Rijeka beyond the surface—through stories, hidden details, and local perspective—at a comfortable pace and in a friendly atmosphere.
