Insanely over priced. Use an uber instead!

Katie_M, Dec 2025

This cost nearly $600 USD for two people! An Uber to Samobor from Zagreb only costs €40-50 euro each way. It was snowing, which wasn’t ideal. So we couldn’t visit the castle ruins. Cake was tasty. Guide was friendly and informative. However, even if the weather was nice I cannot see how $300 USD is justified in the cost. Should’ve included lunch and wine for that price point as well as a comfortable big car. We were in a small taxi. You can do the same trip with Uber, buy your own cake, and google the history of Croatia for a 1/2 of the price. Do not recommend - save your money. Maybe worth it for $100 usd/person but certainly NOT $300/person.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for your very detailed review — we genuinely appreciate the time you took to analyze our business model so thoroughly 😊 First, we must apologize for one thing clearly beyond our control: the snow. Unfortunately, despite multiple attempts, we are still unable to influence weather conditions. Our weather-control department is underfunded — most of the budget goes to booking platform commissions (more on that below). We also agree with you on one important point: the price is high. What often isn’t visible to guests is that a significant portion of that price does not go to the local agency, driver, or guide at all, but to the booking platform as commission. Sadly, we don’t receive anywhere near $300 per person — we receive the survivor’s share after everyone else takes their cut. Regarding transportation: yes, Uber can take you to Samobor. It can also smile politely, share local history, wait for you, adapt the itinerary, and answer questions — oh wait, that’s the guide. Google is also an excellent historian, though it rarely notices if you’re cold, lost, or holding cake. We’re happy you enjoyed the cake and found the guide friendly and informative — at least the human parts of the tour worked as intended. We absolutely respect your recommendation to travelers who prefer full DIY experiences. For guests who value guided storytelling, organization, time-saving, and local expertise (plus cake), this tour still finds its audience — even in the snow. We fully respect that this tour was not the right fit for you, but we also stand by the many guests who recognized it as a positive experience and a fair value for what was provided. Wishing you smooth travels and many sunny trips ahead ☀️ The Management (still negotiating with the weather) P.S. It’s possible that the $600 figure you mentioned reflected the cost if the tour had been booked for three people. When you changed to two people, the price dropped by roughly one-third — though again, this is not the amount the agency actually receives, as most of the cost goes to the booking platform’s commission.

Samobor: lovely gem

Carina_R, Dec 2023

We had a lovely time visiting the beautiful little village of Samobor. The guide/driver was excellent company and we had a great time. Was interesting to hear about the history of the castle and the walk through the town was enjoyable. Coffee and cake was yummy. Thanks a million for the great guy you sent our way
