One of the best tours of our vacation
Fantastic tour! We had Dom as our tour guide and he was great! Very easy to talk to and get along with. He even let us add an activity to the itinerary that was not on the schedule as long as we all agreed as a group. You will definitely see some beautiful sights on this excursion

Great trip!
Fabulous tour. This was not just a glorified taxi, this was a guided trip around d the lakes with a very knowledgeable person. Sasha was on time, funny and knew his way round the park like the back of his hand. We avoided the crowds and got great pictures. safe driving, clear instructions and back to Zagreb on time! Great day out - totally recommend.

amazing day and well laid out tour
Absolutely amazing. Bring some extra layers in case you are cold at the lakes. You can leave stuff on the bus if required. Absolutely amazing day. Rastoke stop was perfect, allowed extra time for having coffee, washroom, and exploring a couple of shops and scenery. Bring cash for Rastoke/Slunj. Plitvice Lakes was awe-inspiring. Loved the boat ride. Buy souvenirs at the first shop as you may not have time later. I didn't feel rushed at all. I know another comment said they wished we spent more time at specific points, but I think it could have dragged the day out quite a bit. It is an amazing and active way to spend a day!!! hvala Chiara!

An extraordinary tour for all ages!
Drako, our tour guide, is not just a fantastic tour guide, he's a superbly gifted and passionate teacher. He made 20th century Yugoslavian history and Croatia's 1990s war for independence from tyranny come alive. His thoughtful analysis of humanity's passion for war and its tendencies to slide to the extreme right (which often leads to the worst expressions of racial supremacy by one group and the grotesque use of religion to inspire it) is a sober reminder to all peoples of good will to be watchful or fall prey to our worst human instincts. Thank you, Drako, for making a crucial piece of Croatian history come alive!

An amazing Plitvice Lakes National Park Tour
It was a wonderful tour and the guide, Marko made it much easier for me. I had some knee problem and walked slower than others. He was always making sure I was ok during the walk and very patient with me. He is also very humorous and made the tour and the car ride more enjoyable! I really enjoyed this tour.

Lake Bled
Our guide, Lucy, was amazing. Provided us with a lot of insight and gave us all of the highlights and gave us enough time to explore and eat at our leisure. It rained heavily part of the trip but she found us so we didnt get soaked going back to the van. 10/10 would recommend this excursion!

A walk around Zagreb
Our guide Petra was brilliant. She gave us an insight to Zagreb and Croatia which was interesting and showed us many sights that had been on our to do list. We were grateful that our group wasn't a large one as it meant we could ask many questions and could hear her over all other noises (as there was a demonstration that day in the square). She showed us the planet Venus which we would never have found (which wasn't on the itinerary) and really made the tour for us. I'd have no qualms in recommending a tour with Petra. She does more than just Zagreb as well so hopefully we can return and do those with her as well.

Worth the day trip
We really enjoyed our tour with Tomislav. The initial tour in Ljubljana showed us where the highlights were before we had a couple of hours to discover the city on our own. Then on to Lake Bled where we opted to be dropped off at the castle which has great views over the lake. It’s a steep walk back down, which Tomislav did tell us about, but enjoyable. Again, a few hours to ourselves, plenty of time to treat ourselves to the Bled cream cake after all the walking. Overall a great day trip. Thanks Tomislav.

Great tour but must be able to climb stairs
This is a good tour with a lot of information about Zagreb. I feel I know much more about Zagreb and it's history. It was over 2 hours and it covered a lot of ground. It was made fun by our tour guide, Robert, who is funny and sarcastic. Also our group just happened to be diverse with guests from multiple parts of the world which made it more interesting. I would recommend this tour...but know there is a lot of walking and stairs!!

Great tour! Well organised !
It was a marvellous day trip with our guide Marco who shared the history of Zagreb and the places we visited with the group making the tour even more interesting.
He kept good pace, not rushing us and giving us plenty of photo stops.
Overall the walking tour was great and the boat trip was fabulous as well.
We enjoyed the little stop at the tiny village with enough time to walk around and grab a coffee.
The drive through Croatian countryside was amazing. The drive was smooth and safe.
Overall a fantastic tour.

Our first combined...
Our first combined sightseeing and transfer tour was a wonderful experience. Pickup from Zagreb was punctual, the van comfortable, and the 2.5-hour drive smooth. The 8 km hike through Plitvice Lakes’ stunning waterfalls and lakes, plus a short boat and bus ride, was unforgettable. Lunch had vegetarian options, and transfer to Split was seamless. Excellent service from Gray Line guides Sanja and Mia—highly recommended!

Best City Tour Ever!
I loved this bike tour with Zeljka, she was so lovely and informative giving great insights and stories about this beautiful city. I learnt so much so quickly and it was a great way to get an overview of Zagreb. I’ve only done walking tours before and a bike tour is so much better. You get to see so much more, much more easily and it’s nice that have a breeze on your face.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
The central region of Croatia is an underrated part of the world where adventure and beauty await. A day trip from Zagreb allows you to explore more of the country many people don't see. From medieval towns like Samobor to the romantic Varazdin, there is no shortage of quaint baroque destinations to explore. For nature enthusiasts, Plitvice Lakes National Park boasts cascading waterfalls and stunning landscapes. And for those looking for a new country to cross off their travel bucket list, a dip into neighboring Slovenia's capital, Ljubljana, is just a short ride away.
