Fun walking tour with Ivana
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!

Wonderful tour with Kristina
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!

Mia is GREAT!
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!
Operator response
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!

AMAZING
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.
Operator response
Dear Grace, thank you so much for your this review and recommendation. We would love to host you in Zagreb again!
