Great History Lesson!! - Our guide, Aleksandar, did an outstanding job! Our whole experience was positive, from clear communication prior to meeting, to giving us the history lesson we asked for. He took the time to personalize our time together so we maximized our walk. His knowledge was extensive and his English was clear.

Awesome - I was nervous to do a private tour, but I’m really glad that I did. My guide Marko was amazing. He made the tour very fun and made my day. Highly recommend him for any other solo travelers who are staying in Zagreb. One thing that I did regret was doing this tour during Easter because everything was closed. Otherwise, very fun!

Fantastic private tour - We had a fantastic time. Aleksandar was knowledgeable about every aspect of the city; its history, culture and nuances as we walked around. He answered all our questions in depth and even found the best spot to see the cannon firing at 12!
Would definitely recommend this private tour.

Amazing experience! - Aleksandar was a phenomenal guide. This tour feels very personal and he does a great job of explaining the history of the city by using visual methods such as slides, going to the places, and letting you try the local food and drink. He showed me places of Zagreb I never heard of. I highly recommend his services.

The Best Way to Experience Zagreb - This was a great way to experience Zagreb. Bernarda provided a wonderful tour weaving in and around the streets of Zagreb. We saw everything from the old city to the newest sections, with an explanation of every site. I would highly recommend this for anyone visiting Zagreb for the first time. In addition to seeing the highlights, I also got good recommendations on where to find the best restaurants and interesting museums.
