Overview

Northern Croatia’s historic towns are scattered across the countryside, making them tricky to visit without a car. This private day trip from Zagreb connects two of the region’s highlights in one relaxed itinerary. Explore the 13th-century Trakošćan Castle with its lakeside setting and historic collections, then wander the baroque streets of Varaždin—often nicknamed “Little Vienna”—to see its elegant architecture and medieval fortress.

Great driver , but very poor vehicle

Devyani_R, Jun 2025

Our driver and guide Hrvjoe was wonderful. He gave a lot of information during the castle tour . He accompanied us everywhere and made sure that we had everything we needed . The car provided to us was extremely uncomfortable and old . The seats wouldn’t tilt back . The drive was uncomfortable. For the price we paid , I expected a better car . That was the only let down. It was just an hour drive at a time , so it was manageable . But the car was extremely uncomfortable and took away from the experience.

Iggy was a great tour guide!

Iggy our tour guide has so much knowledge, and he is easy to talk to which is important as this is a full day tour. The castle was beautiful and well worth the hike to get up there and the various stairs you have to take to see the castle as a whole. They currently have a hunting exhibition which was also interesting. Varazdin was beautiful and even though you don’t get to go into the castle there, there is still a lot to see. It was fun to also get outside Zagreb to see more of the beautiful countryside of Croatia.

Lots to see in the castle. Varazdin is a nice city. Our driver/ guide ( Ned) was very informative and made our day perfect. He even returned to the hotel the day after to bring sunglasses we forgot behind. Thanks a million.
