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 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.

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!

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

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 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.

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!
