Beautiful tour with lots of flexibility - This was our second tour with Karlo and we will book a third if we get the chance to return to Croatia. This full day tour was exactly as described with flexibility throughout as desired. We navigated rain to get most of the plan completed as best able. A second guide joined us in Slovenia which was a great touch to have a local expert.

Highly recommended - When we started our journey from Zagreb to Ljubljana, there was heavy rain and thunderstorm, thanks for Karlo we arrived Ljubljana safely.
We had a great time in Ljubljana old town, a short but detailed walking tour was given, then we enjoyed our free time and had a great lunch.
For Lake Bled, apart from enjoying the magnificent view of the lake from Bled Castle, we also enjoyed a coffee break on the lakeside.
Due to our packed schedule, once again we tailored our destination to Graz. We really appreciate the flexibility Karlo gave us. Highly recommended.

The best tour guide - It was a wonderful experience to visit neighboring country from Zagreb. This tour made us to do it easy and stress free. Lake Bled was so beautiful, and I enjoyed an original cream cake here. Our tour guide, Karlo was very tentative and responsive all the time even when I was still planning my vacation. Everything went smoothly and on time, and was so much fun.

10/10 - I would totally recommend this tour. Karlo grabbed me directly at my hotel with a very clean, modern and big car, filled with snacks and water for my tour. A very calm and good driver.
He is one of the coolest guys I have ever met. He is very patient, polite and knows everything from history to the characteristics of each location. We had very good talks about general stuff. Fluent english. In Slovenia we met a local guide (Milosh), very cool too! He explained everything from the town and both helped me to buy local things (bear meat!).
I was on a private/alone tour and felt extremely safe and confortable.
If you want to visit Slovenia from Zagreb in one day, that's the tour you should take!

Amazingly comfortable tour - Karlo was the best tour guide we ever met (and I meant it, after all those local tours in various countries), very kind, knowledgable and knows where to get the best štruklji! ;) Slovenia is very pretty and private tour offered us opportunity to stay longer at each spot, so we definitely recommend the tour!

Another Outstanding Tour with Karlo - Again, while late in reviewing our time in Croatia with Karlo, believe us when we say why risk having a so so holiday in this beautiful part of the world when you can book your experiences with the Best private tour company! I think part of the reason we dragged out writing this review is because everyone else beat us to all the best adjectives in reviewing how Karlo is the prefect host and guide. So if you really want to see Croatia get busy and contact Bespoke Croatia before they are completely booked up for 2024.

Five star experience. Thank you Karlo. - A fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly guide. Karlo adapted the tour to our needs given our kids! He made all the five tours we booked him for a visual walk back into history! Lots of informaton, but not so much to overload. Any questions answered as we went round. It was a joy and we never felt rushed. We would all recommend Karlo for your tours!

“Bespoke” Experience in a Beautiful Country - We joined a group of friends to explore the interior of Croatia—using Zagreb as home base. From the moment we met Karlo, we knew immediately we were in good hands! He was on top of our arrival at the airport and was there to rescue us, as our friends had a delay. He did not want us to be left killing time in the airport. He made us feel comfortable right away and was a wealth of information. Caring for our every need and making sure we got the benefit of maximizing our time continued for the entire trip. His company makes it a “bespoke “ tour indeed as he is willing to make changes and accommodate any requests you may have along the way. I don’t have enough space to do justice to our experience with Bespoke Croatia and Karlo and his wife Jill! If you want to see Croatia, this company is the ticket—you won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful trip !! - We booked 2nd private tour from Zagreb to Ljubljana and lake Bled. It was fantastic trip with Karlo and his friend who is local guide in Ljubljana. Both him and his friend are knowledgeable in history and culture. Then we went to castle and lake Bled. The weather was perfect and Karlo gave us plenty of times for kayaking and swimming at the lake. We highly recommend booking your tour with him.

Touring Lake bled and Ljubljana - We booked an amazing one day tour with Karlos Kapusta. He picked us up at our hotel off we went on a fantastic journey to Lake Bled and Ljubljana. He took us to the top of the castle and gave us tips on making the best of our time. At the lake he provided us with options to make best use of our spare time. We chose the cream cake tasting - well worth it!
The tour of Ljubljana included so much history and explanations of this city's beauty. He suggested local food options for lunch. We chose the sausage and "horse radish and mustard" - and, of course, soup! Then, up the funicular we went to the top of the city. Wow!
Karlos was the perfect host and tour guide, always giving us options to make our day most memorable. Thank you, Karlos!
