Private Tour of Varazdin and Trakoscan Castle

Wonderful trip to beautiful and interesting sites in Croatia! Our guide Karlo was terrific and told us all about the history of Varazdin, and we explored this lovely Baroque village. We then visited Trakoscan castle, and learned about the history of the castle and the area. Truly a wonderful day!

Great experience!

Our guide was very nice, flexible and interactive. Our tour turned into a small group excursion with just the 3 of us and we had a phenomenal day. Krapina is a lovely small town and the Neanderthal Museum is a MUST. So educational and in an unexpectedly gorgeous setting. The castle is one of the most amazing castles I have ever seen. Highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful Day Trip to Varazdin and Trakoscan Castle

It was a wonderful small tour day trip to Varazdin and Trakoscan Castle. The scenery was magnificent and the views outstanding. But, I will also remember the excellent conversations that our group had with our tour leader. We discussed quite a bit of history (from ancient times all the way up to modern Croatia) during the tour. This was the type of day that makes vacations worth while. I look forward to another tour with this company and in particular our tour leader.
