Informative Relaxing Historical Walk - Diana was an excellent guide and friendly and helpful. Not only did she educate us about Zagreb and Croatia, when we asked for recommendations for restaurants that locals use, she was spot on. We had an incredible dinner at a reasonable price. This was a very personalized tour just what we wanted ! Highly recommended tour!

Great Way to See Zagreb - Had a terrific tour of Zagreb with Diana. She is very knowledgeable about the history of her country and the city and was able to respond to all of my questions. She was also quite flexible – when a brief but thunderous rainstorm hit, she quickly knew where to take us for coffee to relax and learn more about Zagreb. It’s guides like Diana that make me keep returning to Viator!
