Wonderful Zagreb - A wonderful walk for an hour and a half with Kristina, who appreciated the fact I have very bad knees, and didn’t try to rush us. Her knowledge of the history of Zagreb old town buildings is so good and she is able to pass on her knowledge in such an interesting way. Her friendly manner and generosity of time was very much appreciated. We recommend Kristina wholeheartedly as a guide.

Manager - If you want a knowledgeable local guide, then this tour is a must. Kristina made sure we felt at home in Zagreb and gave us so many information, tips and advice on how to use our short stay in Zagreb. Highly reccomend this tour and this city! We only had a few days, but thanks to our guide used it to the full extent.
