Tomislav was extraordinarily personable and informative. Never felt rushed to complete the tour. Tomislav made us feel as though we could take as much or as little time as necessary to make our experience special. Many stops along the tour route to include samples of local cuisine and vendor products. It was like meeting a good friend in Zagreb who would show you the town. Very Satisfied Amazing!

Jasna is a superb guide with passion for her city and deep knowledge about it. I learned a lot from her and can now appreciate Zagreb even more than before. 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

We booked our 3 hour tour with Tomislav with the hope of having a good experience and learning a bit more about Zagreb; Tomislav ensured that we had perhaps the best tour experience of our lives. Both my girlfriend and I felt comfortable, engaged, and interested; Tomislav knew the right amount of detail and information to provide about each site and made sure that our experience was both full of pictures (he is a great photographer!) as well as new knowledge about the city. He is a deeply caring tour guide who will take your queue for how much / how little to engage or push and will show you the best restaurants and bars across the city. Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a local best friend for the day in Zagreb! Best Tour Ever!

We had a great walking tour through the beautiful city of Zagreb. Vlatka was so warm and friendly, and had plenty of information to share about her city. She was equally keen on learning about our cultural background - which made for interesting conversation. Apart from all of the city's highlights, Vlatka was also very knowledgeable on local food and where to find the best of local specialties. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and highly recommend Vlatka for anyone hoping to visit this enchanting city.Fantastic tour of Zagreb with Vlatka

Met up at my hotel and had a great walking tour with Jasna. She was very knowledgeable with local history and had some great stories to tell while we walked, some literally earth shaking! I enjoyed our conversations on a number of topics including our love of the eighties. Treated me to a drink and some Tiramisu which was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Jasna to be your guide in Zagreb. Three hours with Jasna, time well spent

Vlatka was a great guide so friendly and knowledgeable. We had an interesting and informative tour with her so we learnt a lot about Zagreb and Croatia in general. She also gave us tips on where to go and what to see which made our stay in the city so much more enjoyable. We appreciated that she changed the day and time of our tour to accommodate our late arrival due to our flight cancellation at very short notice. Thank you Vlatka.

We had the most amazing experience with Vlatka as we toured around the upper town in Zagreb! Vlatka was so warm and friendly which made our experience so much more enjoyable! Vlatka is very relational, easy to connect and communicate with! She shared her knowledge in an informative way that was full of passion and we were able to grasp a much deeper understanding of the history of this amazing town!

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. Tihana generously shared her time with us, ensuring we didn't miss any of the city's highlights. We left with a deeper appreciation for Zagreb and many wonderful memories. If you're visiting, a tour with her is an absolute must!Unforgettable journey through Zagreb

He was very flexible and was able to start our tour at a time that fit us as well as customising it around what our interests were.

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!

The food served was traditional and delicious as well as the wines paired with each meal. Vlatka pointed out many interesting facts and local customs on the easy walk between venues.

Vi var en grupp på 6 personer som beställde en food tour i Zagreb. Initialt vid bokning hade jag mejl kontakt med vår guide för att reda ut några frågor, fick snabba och bra svar! Antonio, vår guide visade sig vara både flexibel och lösningsbenägen. Tydliga direktiv fick vi om var vi ses och hans guidning genom Zagreb blev en mycket fin upplevelse. Vi besökte platser vi nog aldrig hade fått se annars och definitivt inte med den mycket breda historiska bakgrund som Antonio försedde oss med. Allt som allt en mycket positiv upplevelse om än ganska lång, då vi drog över tiden-säkert med de bästa intentioner - men man kan bara ta in si och så mycket! Det vi ser som förbättringspotential är maten. Absolut jättegod mat men det blev chark och ost två gånger, vi hade nog förväntat oss varm mat på restaurangen. I alla fall en annan sorts mat än vid första stoppet. Och bara två stopp på en food tour är lite magert och till det priset med 6 personer, vi hade förväntat oss mer. Men annars var touren mycket trevlig och rekommenderas! Chark och guidning i Zagreb

We had a wonderful day with Vlatka! She is so friendly and personable and it was really great to learn about the culture, history, and food from someone who is so connected the city. There is also something special to having a personalized experience that is more like exploring with a friend than someone talking at you. She was great with our kids as well (18, 14, 12) and it really made us appreciate and enjoy Zagreb so much more. I will say - go hungry! We literally were so full we could hardly eat at the last stop and had to take it to go - and we love to eat. Couldn't recommend more!A must-do!
