Absolutely loved this tour. Would recommend to anyone who wants to see something a bit different, or who has even a passing interest or curiosity into the modern history of Yugoslavia and Slovenia. The tour was full of little surprises (which I won’t spoil!) and my guide was fantastically knowledable and passionate about socialist Yugoslavia. Thank you so much - was a real privilege!!

Description

Go back to the good old times when we lived in “brotherhood and unity”, drove Zastava Yugos, lived in block flats, suffered from a reduction in electricity and fuel, watched 2 channels on TV (usually in black and white), “enjoyed” the hyperinflation of the Yugoslav dinar, went to Austria to buy chocolate, bananas, and coffee, and to Triest or Gorizia to buy a pair of jeans ( Levi's or Rifle), watched partisan movies such as Sutjeska and Neretva, sang Lepa Brena and Prljavo Kazalište songs, chewed Bazooka, and had no freedom of speech!

This isn’t just a political tour of the former-Yugoslav socialist period, but it’s also about the people who, on one hand, had everything (jobs and flats) and on the other, nothing at all (no freedom of speech, no human rights).

Experience this unique tour and relive the Yugoslav times!
