What is the "Fake Tour Guide Commission Shops" scam in Zagreb?

Question

Accepted Answer

Individuals posing as friendly locals or unofficial guides offer to show tourists around Zagreb's Upper Town. The "tour" inevitably includes stops at specific restaurants, galleries, or souvenir shops where the guide earns commission — and where prices are significantly inflated. Book guided tours through the Zagreb Tourist Board or reputable agencies listed on the official Visit Zagreb website. If a stranger offers to show you around for free, understand that the commission shops are the real purpose. Politely decline and explore independently.
