About this experience
URBAN EXPLORATION, often shortened as urbex is the exploration of man-made structures, usually abandoned ruins that were once important and in use, and today they stand as a reminder of some other times. A perfect example is the so-called „Spomeniks “ – memorial structures and monuments built in the period between the 1950 s and 1990s during Tito’s Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Their purpose was to honor people’s resistance and suffering during WWII. Today those monuments can be found scattered all around the countries of former Yugoslavia. As a local tourist agency and huge urbex lovers and specialists, allow us to take you on this truly alternative and unique tour to visit a few of those masterpieces.

Incredible Tour Experience
Booked two tours through Swanky - Spomeniks and a custom visit to Petrova Gora hill and the Karlovac Homeland War Museum. Iva and Ivica were an absolutely wonderful duo of tour guide and driver, and I learned so much! I really appreciate the care put into the tour experience and would HIGHLY recommend Swanky to anyone visiting Zagreb, especially tourists interested in seeing the Yugoslav monuments to the fallen defenders. Hvala vam!

This is NOT a tour. It’s a very expensive driver. Save your money and rent a car.
First off this is NOT a tour, this is a very expensive driver who picks you up and drives you to see Spomeniks. The driver was on time and friendly, but communication prior to the tour was difficult and the confirmation of the tour wasn’t received until very late. I could have let the expensive $325 drive go and not take the time to write this review, but when we asked about driving to see a very important Spomenik (“Uprising Monument nation Banija and Kordun”, which in fairness was not included on the tour) we felt we were brushed off and even lied to. We were told that the road to the monument was damaged in an earthquake in 2020. Out of my own curiosity I searched for recent pictures and many came up. When I asked the driver about this he then said it would add 3 hrs of driving (which we offered to pay for). Do you know how I know the road to the Uprising Monument nation Banija and Kordun is intact and the monument open? Because after we got back from this expensive drive, we rented a car and drove there. Interestingly enough there were other people there too. If he would’ve told me there wasn’t time, fine, but don’t tell us that the monument and road are closed. I don’t enjoy writing average to poor reviews, but this “specialized tour guide” was not even close. He was a very expensive driver who showed up in what looked like pajamas to drive us around. Save your money and rent a car, the roads in Croatia are very nice and easy to navigate.

Friendly, knowledgable and professional - highly recommended
We did a private guided urbex tour with Iva as guide. It was one of the highlights of our vacation. We learned more about the locations and the history of the country while being on a family friendly urbex tour. We can only recommend Swanky Travel, and hope we will be able to return and explore more places.

Amazing places around Croatia
I am staying at the hostel and with a bunch of guest we decide to make an urbex exploration and swanky offers us to plan it for us offering a guidence tour between 2 days It was awesome that two hours outside of Zagreb there's amazing monuments that tell us the history of the country And even more knowing that this 2 locations aren't touristic at all Željava underground airplane base Petrova hill abandoned monument Also the tour guide make us feel safe all the way and answer every doubt that we have about the place with fun facts as well.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ex-Yugoslavian "Spomeniks" tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zagreb.
How much does Ex-Yugoslavian "Spomeniks" tour cost?
+
Prices start at $350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zagreb usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ex-Yugoslavian "Spomeniks" tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zagreb is not rushed.
Is Ex-Yugoslavian "Spomeniks" tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zagreb, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ex-Yugoslavian "Spomeniks" tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ex-Yugoslavian "Spomeniks" tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ex-Yugoslavian "Spomeniks" tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zagreb can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zagreb and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ex-Yugoslavian "Spomeniks" tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zagreb within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zagreb?
+
On Outty we rank every Zagreb experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Communism & Croatian Homeland War Tour, Zagreb Highlights: Old Town, WWII tunnels, Funicular & Tastings, Old Zagreb Private Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zagreb?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zagreb?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
