Great Day out - Loved seeing Varazdin, city of Angels and all the quaint town history elements. Our tour guide gave us lots of insights and information about Croatia

Perfect - Maja is a fantastic guide. She tooks care of all guests. I learnt a lot about Croatia history and Croatians way of life. Both places are very beautilful.

Great tour, great guide - I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide (sorry, forgot her name) was excellent and very knowledgeable, plus her English was perfect. The village of Varazdin was beautiful! She gave us a tour of the town, and then we had plenty of time to walk around and explore the town on our own and have lunch. Then we drove to Trakoscan Castle, which was very interesting and historic. There are quite a few steps to get up to the castle, but everyone in the group was able to make it. The views from the castle were spectacular. Highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Zagreb.

Great tour! - Maja was a great tour guide. Answered a lot of questions, was very open to making the tour comfortable for us. Extremely knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone.

Very safe city - Clean, safe, organized city with good public transportation system and excellent airport. All taxi drivers are also UBER, with new cars and great quality. Good hotels, great restaurants and well ⁇ ined sights.

Wonderful day in Varazdin and Trakoscan - and cultureMaya gave us a wonderful trip to Varazdin and Trakoscan Castle. She picked us up right on time and we were off in her car to Veazdin. Not only was she an excellent driver but she gave us a running commentary on the countryside, what we would see and Croatian culture, She gave us a very detailed tour of the charming town of Varazdin and recommended a fabulous cafe for coffee and cake. Then we were off to Trakoscan Castle where she provided a wonderful and detailed tour of the castle. This tour was one of our highlights of Croatia.

Peaceful Day Trip - Maja was a great guide and the trip was so peaceful. There were only four of us and when we went to the castle on the hill we were the only ones in the castle, the whole time! Maja had umbrellas ready for if it rained, and the trip was flexible to our needs. She kept things on a good schedule without us feeling rushed. Beautiful sites on this day trip, I do highly recommend it. A great way to see a relatively undiscovered (for foreigners) part of Croatia.

A very good one - The guide was so knowledgeable and charming! I enjoyed the tour tremendously!! I recommend it to everyone.

Ying and yang - Maja is a wonderful guide with patience, knowledge and understanding. While I thought the castle part was bland, the Varazdin part was really wonderful with its many churches, colorful buildings, and, of course, angels.

Interesting to see how the town walls (now gone) defended the city / Castle - we started two different tours (city & castle). This city was once the Capital of Croatia between 1756 & 1776, when a big fire burnt down much of the city, and the capital of the country was moved to Zagreb. Today this town is a beautifully preserved Baroque city that’s often compared to Vienna, and unlike Zagreb there are NO mass transport trams running around this small community. For centuries, this was the home of several aristocratic families, who built magnificent palaces and churches that continue to grace the city today. Originally this was a walled city surrounded by earthen fortification walls and a massive moat totally around the town, and a separate moat around the castle within the city. The defenses were emplaced to fend off (never happened) an Ottoman empire attack. The moat design would prevent tunneling under the city defensive walls. Today the moat area is mostly filled in! The castle was originally a military barracks / defense keep for the defenders to fall back on; and then converted into a royal palace for the Hungarian governor once the Ottoman threat went away. We started our guided 45-minute walking tour of the town itself. Tom enjoyed the detail in the Baroque architecture of this town some call “Little Vienna.” We then went on a tour of the castle surrounded by a now empty moat (entering via drawbridge). The Castle is now owned and managed by the town after the last residence left in 1929. The last residence basically emptied the structure, and over the years donations of equipment /armament /furniture has now filled the attraction. The castle was built in the twelfth century and was used as a seat of local government until 1925. We had an hour-long tour by one of the most excellent museum curators
