Please note: The tour locations are kept secret for a more immersive tour experience.
Chapter 2: People's life While driving to the second secret location we will talk about Josip Broz Tito, his personal life, political achievements and his attempts to make a tailor made socialism to better fulfill the needs of the Yugoslav people. The second location will discover the chapter that covers the life expectations and dreams of the simple people in Tito's Socialism. Starting with the Youth Work Actions and ending with the heavy industrialization of the 50's and 60's.
