Relax during the trip and enjoy the scenery while your guide takes care of the driving. Disembark in Kumrovec, an historic village that has been turned into an open-air museum of antique homes, known as hize, from the 19th

After pickup from your hotel in Zagreb, you'll make the trip to Kumrovec, a preserved, open air museum village of 19th and 20th century homes. Visit the birthplace of Josip Broz Tito and learn about his rise to fame and the history of communist Yugoslavia. You'll also see his elementary school, arboretum where he hosted public figures, and a large bronze statue in his honor.

Antique homes, called hize, represent Croatia's history. Each house tells a story of peasant life and craft, such as pottery, wheelwrights, blacksmithing, and toy making, which is a protected cultural heritage.

After visiting Kumrovec, only in May, we are taking you on the magical ROSE trail where you can experience the scents of the fields of damask roses and buy beautiful rose products!
