We had a simply incredible experience on our tour of Zagreb, and the biggest reason for that was our guide Mirjana. We had many doubts—really, we asked everything!—and she answered each one with patience, knowledge, and great kindness! 😍 More than just showing us the city and telling its history, she managed to turn our tour into a light, welcoming, and extremely pleasant moment. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to get to know Zagreb with soul and affection!

Description
Most travelers think they’ve seen Zagreb after visiting Ban Jelačić Square and the Upper Town. But what if I told you the city’s real charm hides in its quiet streets, secret passages, and stories only a local can share? Exploring alone, it’s easy to miss the layers of history and details that make Zagreb so special. You might leave thinking you’ve seen it all, while its true heart stays hidden. Our Walking Tour in Zagreb changes that. Your guide adapts to your interests, showing both iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Discover the authentic Zagreb, beyond the surface.

Excellent well paced tour with an engaging guide. History, culture, architecture and restaurant recommendations!
Mirjana, was a wonderful guide. She is very well informed about the ancient, remote and recent history of the city and Croatia. She was very entertaining and energetic. I appreciated her visual aid pages and especially the comprehensive restaurant recommendations.
This tour is one of the best things to do in Zagreb. It showed us several of this beautiful city's attractions in just two hours. My favorite spots were the churches, especially Saint Mark's Church.
I had a great experience on this walking tour in Zagreb. Our guide, besides being very knowledgeable about the area, was also very kind and friendly. I was amazed by Zagreb's beautiful architecture, especially the churches and tunnels. Food is another highlight of Zagreb, and our guide recommended a place for traditional desserts and another place for dinner.
This tour was exactly what I was looking for. We were able to explore the city with a history expert guide and two other couples. We loved Zagreb's squares, they're surrounded by old buildings, and most of them have fountains and statues. It's sad that I can't name the places, but writing in Polish isn't my skill.
I loved this city, and this tour was the perfect activity to do during my visit, as it covered a large part of downtown Zagreb. This city is beautiful, especially its squares and parks. The funicular was one of my favorite attractions, as it offers a different perspective on the city. I highly recommend this tour in Zagreb!
