Petra was a charming and knowledgeable guide. She clearly explained the inner city layout and gave us information about many parks, buildings and monuments. It was wonderful sharing a few hours with a lovely local person.”

This is the first time I have tried a private walking tour by myself and it is worth it when you traveling solo and are short on time. Tomislov was great and showed me all the sights that he thought I would be interested in in the upper and lower city of Zagreb. He also pointed out things that I might be interested in looking at the following morning before I left the city. Great knowledge and willing to answer all the questions I had.”

A really nice tour of the two towns that make up Zagreb. The two towns are Kapitol and Gradice. There is much history to see in this tour. You ride up in the venichular tram to the top of Kapitol. The main church is in Gradice. Ask your guide about the bloody bridge. My guide Tomislav was well educated and informative. Zagreb is an amazing city. There is much to do and see in Zagreb and its environs.”

Goran was an incredible tour guide who brought the city of Zagreb to life for my fiancé and me. Zagreb is already a beautiful city, but Goran is gifted with the ability to illustrate its history and culture in a way that makes Zagreb all the better. Thank you, Goran, for an amazing tour! Was definitely a highlight of our time in Croatia.”

The Best Tour we had in all of Croatia! Scheduled this private tour at a time that fit our air layover in Zagreb. Petra, our guide, was on time, well prepared and catered the pace of the tour to our needs. She was personable, extremely knowledgeable and customized the tour. She gave historical information sprinkled with anecdotes and interesting facts covering history, the arts, science, religion, architecture, famous people and much more. We saw more and learned more in 3 hours than others will in days!! Highly recommend this tour, and especially Petra!!”

Tomislav was a fabulous guide who gave us both anecdotal and historical information about the city of Zagreb, which made it come alive. He showed us graphically how the city became bifurcated and thereby known as Upper and Lower Zagreb while sharing amusing stories like the chandelier hanging in Zagreb Cathedral. He took us around to parts of the city that we would have never known about on our own like the city playground walls used by graffiti artists to celebrate the accomplishments of the great inventors of Croatia His mastery of English was exceptional and his personality very winning. Once again, our walking tour of Zagreb was fabulous, and so was Tomislav!”

Monday 22 May 17 will forever be etched in my mind thanks to a wonderful walking tour of Zagreb with our highly knowledgeable and well informed guide, Tomas. He met us at our hotel and walked us around all of upper Zagreb, patiently explaining all important landmarks and Zagreb's fascinating history. As described in what to expect, Tomas stopped by at all the places mentioned and pointed out all the sights and landmarks. With an in depth knowledge of the history of Croatia in general and Zagreb, in particular, it was a treat to have had him as our guide.”

This was a great introductory tour to Zagreb. My guide Maya was extremely informative, interesting, and helpful. She fit the tour to my interests and the tour was not rushed at all. Definitely do this tour, especially given the great price for a private tour.”

Our guide Petros kept us fully engaged during the walk with the history,culture and traditions of people of Zagreb. The walk was not a rushed one. We travelled through centuries, felt the heat and hatred of the Wars and enjoyed the mirth of independent Croatians with her commentaries. Excellent tour”
