Best Guide in Zagreb - We were fortunate to have Ivana Curic as our guide around Zagreb. Ivana is a professional travel guide and a local resident of Zagreb. She comes fully prepared to provide as much or as little historical information that you want to know (we wanted to know it all!)! 😁 We HIGHLY recommend using her if she’s available because Ivana is the best! After our tour, she knew that I wanted to try Strukli so she took us to a restaurant with traditional Croatian strukli. Ivana stayed with us to answer our questions about the history of the region and we asked her thoughts for the future of the region. Very educated, outstanding English and a delightful personality! She made a recommendation for dinner and even took us to the restaurant so we could find our way that night! Excellent choice. Ivana, you are a gem and thank you for sharing your hometown with us.

Excellent Guide - We booked with Ivana and had a great time. She is friendly, well informed and super knowledgeable. We felt like we got to know Zagreb better, faster, than we ever could have done on our own. She adds interesting stories to her tour that we never would have thought to look up and would, therefore, have otherwise missed. Highly recommended.

True expertise from a true local - I had the great fortune of booking a Zagreb tour with Ivana, and I can say without any hesitation that in all my years of travel she is the best tour guide I have had the pleasure to work with. First as a holder of a PhD in Croatian studies, Ivana spoke about the present and the past of Zagreb in a way I have never seen other local tour guides speak about their cities. Ivana also spoke perfect English, and planned her tour so strategically that she was able to pass on everything I needed to learn about each of the most important sites of Zagreb. This she accomplished while still keeping my full attention during the entire three hours of the tour. In fact, the information she discussed was so entertaining that I was left wishing her tour had lasted a lot longer than three hours. Ivana was punctual, kind, polite, helpful, very easy to communicate and whole lot of fun. She clearly loves doing what she does and her enthusiasm for Zagreb is contagious. I strongly recommend her tours to anyone visiting this amazing city.
