I really enjoyed the walking tour of Zagreb. We got caught in the rain but it was not a problem. Just bring your umbrella. Our guide, Ivana, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting stories about the sites we visited. She also had good advice on things to do after the tour. For example, visiting the Lotrščak Tower at noon for a symbolic cannon fire. If you feel sleepy or jet lagged, make sure to do it. It will definitely wake you up!
Kristina was an incredible guide - very knowledgeable and customized the experience for us. Highly recommend to all, especially for families!
The walking tour of the town was both informative and fun! Our guide, Ivana, truly made the experience special by blending the town’s rich history with modern context and her own personal stories. Her engaging storytelling brought the past to life and added a unique, personal touch that made the tour memorable.
The tour was great! Even in the rain we had fun as a new tour group seeing all the important sites of the city by foot and learning about the history and tales of this great place!
Kristine was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed her commentary and humor. We will be sure to tell others to check out this walking tour.
Kristina gave us a wonderful tour of Zagreb. She is knowledgeable, engaging and gave us an inside look at this wonderful city. We learned about the history from ancient times to the modern era, all the while wandering through the old town, tunnels from previous wars, lookout points etc. Kristin ended the tour with restaurant suggestions, and we had an amazing Croatian dinner. We came away with an appreciation of this wonderful city!
Our tour guide, Mia, was wonderful. Even though it was cold, windy, and snowing, she walked us through the winding streets of Zagreb detailing important historical events with wit and grace. We were a group of students from North Carolina who don't experience much adverse weather and even the most unprepared were riveted by Mia's information. We had a great time! Thank you!
Dear Abby, thank you for your kind review. We are so happy to hear your group had a good time in Zagreb with Mia. Best regards to you all!
Thom was an incredible tour guide throughout the entire trip. My grandmother is disabled and uses two canes to walk. Thom saw to it to accommodate her and make sure she didn’t have to walk too far, yet she still saw everything in the city. He was incredibly thoughtful and educated on the history of Zagreb. I would not hesitate to book again and strongly recommend booking.
Dear Grace, thank you so much for your this review and recommendation. We would love to host you in Zagreb again!
