We had a great time with our guide. She was very knowledgeable about the town. Like the castle and the small town
Great tour of Varazdin and visit of Trakoscan castle (ticket included). Small group (in this tour there was just myself and another participant) also makes the experience more personable and not overwhelming. Guide and driver Maja was professional, knowledgeable, resourceful, as well as flexible and patient. She’s very passionate about the history and culture of Croatia and also showed areas that were not to miss. Would really recommend this to any traveler (especially solo) looking for a day excursion from Zagreb (asides from Plitvice and Lake Bled). It’s definitely of good value worth and experience!
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your day exploring Varaždin and Trakošćan Castle, and that the small group setting made the experience even more special. Thank you for recommending us to other travellers, looking for a day trip from Zagreb. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Croatia in the future!
A nice tour of northern Zagreb in a small group! a very friendly guide with historical knowledge of his country. Very pleasant day
Thank you very much for your lovely review. We wish you an enjoyable stay in Croatia!
May is a fantastic tour guide, we had a great time and we were 8 ppl in a van. We spent time with the tour guide in town where she explained the most important things in town with lost of historical details and one hour in Varazdin on our own, you can choose to have lunch or wonder around. After that it is the castle time, you have enough time to see the whole castle and walk around the lake, there is coffee shop around to have a quick coffee. Overall it was a super relaxing day, May took amazing care of us, and she was an amazing guide!
Many thanks for booking the tour and posting such amazing review. We appreciate your kind words. It was our pleasure to have you!
We had a very nice time on this tour. Our guide was fantastic; she is very knowledgeable about all things Croatia and has an obvious love for her country that was evident in her presentation. Verazdon is a picturesque town and we enjoyed walking around the center. Trakoscan is very nice and includes much of the original furnishings. Plus there are QR codes which provide additional information. The path to the castle proper is not overly strenuous. The pace of this tour was very relaxed, which suited us well since we are at the end of our time in Croatia. However, we felt our visit to castle was too short - we had to hurry through the second floor and we didn’t have time to read all the placards. If we could make one suggestion it would be to have more time to linger in Trakoscan instead of in Verazdon.
Thank you for booking the tour and posting this nice review. We really value the feedback from our customers and appreciate all your suggestions. We wish you a safe return to you home. Best regards!
Excellent tour of Baroque town Varazdin and Trakoscan Castle. Our tour guide was Maya, and she was highly informative and personable. Varazdin has several interesting churches and a charming atmosphere. Trakoscan Castle also has a lake and a forest with the same name. Both the interior and exterior of the castle are worth exploring.
Million thanks for booking the tour, we are thrilled that you enjoyed the day with us and wish you a safe return to your home. Warm regards!
This was simply a marvelous tour. Both Varazdin and the castle are a must see. Not only magnificent views but also the peace and quiet were impressive at both locations. Out guide Maja was excellent, She was very knowledgeable and patient to answer the tonnes of questions we had! Thank you and would definitely recommend.
Many thanks for joining the tour and posting this wonderful review. We wish you many more lovely experiences on your next travels. Warm regards!
We finished went on a group excursion through the Varaždin, visiting baroque architecture and being guided through the history of the area. We then took a tour into Trakošćan castle, having some time to look through. The view around Trakošćan castle was scenic and very nice. We could have spent a little more time around the lake of Trakošćan. Overall, it was a very nice day trip.
Thank you very much for booking the tour. We are happy to see that you enjoyed both locations. Safe return to your home!
Maja was an excellent tour guide. I really enjoyed both the walking tour of the town and the castle tour. Beautiful scenery! This is a great way to spend a day if you’re in Zagreb, highly recommend!
Thank you very much for booking the tour and posting this awesome review. It was our pleasure to have you and show you around Varazdin and Trakoscan Castle. Best regards!
Wow! Myia (spelling?) was amazing. First of all her command of English was better than most native Americans. Even more importantly she knew her stuff—very authoritative. Finally, she smiled the whole day. It made you want to listen to her. Ps. Great driver too
Thank you very much for this fantastic feedback. We really appreciate your kind words and are pleased that you enjoyed the experience with us so much. Wish you all the best!
