Tom is personable, a great resource, lots of fun and extremely responsive. Touring with Tom was like hanging out with a friend. We took our time, pausing to sample local foods and drink along the way. We appreciated the info pack Tom gave us with a map, how to pronounce words in Croatian and excellent dining recommendations. We tried several of his recommendations during our stay and especially loved Vinodol! The next day, we had an amazing wine tasting experience with Dominik at Jagunic thanks to Tom. If you’re looking for a local experience, Tom is the one!A Great Resource

Tomislav was a fabulous guide. He spent almost 3 hours showing us the highlights of Zagreb even though the tour was only supposed to be two hours. He obviously enjoyed sharing his insights of the city with us and any group lucky enough to have him as a guide will be enchanted with his stories and insights into Zagreb and the history of Croatia.Zagreb visit

We booked a private tour with Jasna as my wife is pregnant and we figured we’d need some flexibility. Jasna’s knowledge of Zagreb is incredible and she set up what we were going to do from the start. When my wife was tired Jasna brought us to a coffee shop where she could rest while we did another 20 mins to finish off. Highly recommended. Great tour if Zagreb

Meeting Tomislav was like meeting up with an old friend. Very friendly guy, who was great company for a few hours. We probably could have asked more questions, but we were happy to wander around the delightful city of Zagreb with Tomislav providing information on where we were & what we were seeting. We covered the main sights & most importantly got a fantastic recommendation for dinner - thanks Tomislav - the food at https://kaptolska-klet.hr/ was excellent!Like spending a few hours with a friend.

Our tour of Zagreb was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to Tihana. From the moment we met, her warmth and enthusiasm made us feel like we were exploring the city with an old friend. Her deep knowledge of Zagreb's history, culture, and hidden gems enriched every moment of our journey.

Four Canadians spent a wonderful 3 hours with V, strolling through Zagreb, sampling amazing local delights and learning interesting history and facts about the city and local cuisine.
Vlatka was a natural and so fun to spend time with. Not only did we get to sample amazing food and learn about it, we learned more about Zagreb and Croatia too. We loved our time with Vlatka and would highly recommend booking with her. We wish we had more time for more history and stories. Our time together flew by. Thank you V!Amazing tour with Vlatka!

Tomislav was just awesome. Right from the start he was very responsive to my messaging inquiries about the tour even to the point where he called me in the US from Croatia to make sure he understood the requests I had to customize the tour.
WOW, such awesome dedication to giving the best service !!!
We have traveled the world and have gone on a lot of tours but we have never ever had anyone go the extreme that Tomislav did to make very sure that we will have the best experience.
We could not have had a better guide, book Tomislav today for your tour!!!
What a GREAT Tour and Experience!

Tomislav was a great host. He took us to a food market, a store where we could try Croatian wine and other local treats, multiple restaurants, and showed us many local sights on the way. We had both deep and frivolous discussions throughout. My husband wanted to buy a book by a Croatian author, so Tomislav took us to a bookstore where his wife had held several selections, one of which we got. So we received a very personalized tour. I would highly recommend Tomislav!Awesome experience!

She also was very flexible. She adapted the tour to meet the needs and preferences she and I had discussed previously via email. During the tour, she adjusted the program based on my feedback.
Jasna was also very sensitive to the very hot day and made sure we stopped and drank enough fluids.
I recommend her highly!A superb and informative tour by Jasna
