Petra was informative and engaging. We loved her stories about local characters and the history of the town. She laid out all out in a very logical way
Lynette_R, Jul 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed our private walking tour with Petra as our guide. Petra was punctual, welcomed us warmly and got straight into the tour. Her friendliness encouraged us to ask any questions we had and her knowledge was exceptional. We found Petra engaging and the tour very interesting. It was an easy walk and a great way to learn about Zagreb in a short time. We would highly recommend this tour.

Thomas gave us a detailed and interesting walking tour lasting 2.5 hours showing us the highlights of Zagreb centre.
The pace is gentle with the only challenge for anyone with physical limitations being the stair climb while the funicular is being refurbished.

We highly recommend doing this tour.

Petra was a charming and knowledgeable guide. She clearly explained the inner city layout and gave us information about many parks, buildings and monuments. It was wonderful sharing a few hours with a lovely local person.
Zeev_K, Aug 2019
The guide we have did not understand the meaning of private tour and insisted showing us “his view” of what we need to see and tell us “stories”. He appeared also not liking walking too much. A real disappointment. Someone should explain to him that we $100 (which is 25% of a monthly salary in Croatia) we should be better treated,
Sharon_D, Aug 2019
This is the first time I have tried a private walking tour by myself and it is worth it when you traveling solo and are short on time. Tomislov was great and showed me all the sights that he thought I would be interested in in the upper and lower city of Zagreb. He also pointed out things that I might be interested in looking at the following morning before I left the city. Great knowledge and willing to answer all the questions I had.
William_M, Jun 2019
A really nice tour of the two towns that make up Zagreb. The two towns are Kapitol and Gradice. There is much history to see in this tour. You ride up in the venichular tram to the top of Kapitol. The main church is in Gradice. Ask your guide about the bloody bridge. My guide Tomislav was well educated and informative. Zagreb is an amazing city. There is much to do and see in Zagreb and its environs.
David_A, May 2019
This was my first walking tour and I travel a lot. Was a great experience. Petra was a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend her. Zagreb is a beautiful city. Thanks Petra!!
Lizzy P, Aug 2018
Goran was an incredible tour guide who brought the city of Zagreb to life for my fiancé and me. Zagreb is already a beautiful city, but Goran is gifted with the ability to illustrate its history and culture in a way that makes Zagreb all the better. Thank you, Goran, for an amazing tour! Was definitely a highlight of our time in Croatia.
Marina G, Aug 2018
I would recommend this private walking tour
It is a great way to see Upper and Downtown Zagreb and learn about the local history.
The walking is easy to moderate take water and a hat if hot.
Mia our guide was very nice and knowledgable.
MiguelAngel_D, Aug 2018
Very good and informative tour with a guide called Estefan. Totally recommended. Zagreb is a beautiful cross between Lisabon and Prague.
Marvin_p, Jun 2018
Our guide Inna was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable regarding the food and wine we sampled and gave a wonderful history lesson regarding the Slovenian Country and the regional history. She is definitely the right person for this tour. This could not have been better!! Thank you Inna.
rita_m, May 2018
The Best Tour we had in all of Croatia! Scheduled this private tour at a time that fit our air layover in Zagreb. Petra, our guide, was on time, well prepared and catered the pace of the tour to our needs. She was personable, extremely knowledgeable and customized the tour. She gave historical information sprinkled with anecdotes and interesting facts covering history, the arts, science, religion, architecture, famous people and much more. We saw more and learned more in 3 hours than others will in days!! Highly recommend this tour, and especially Petra!!
Robert H, Oct 2017
Our tour guide was one of the best we've ever had. I recommend this tour for a catered experience to Zagreb, it's history, and it's culture.
Kathryn H, Oct 2017
This tour was fantastic, the guide was fantastic!!! I think is name was filip?! His local knowledge and enthusiasm made this such a fantastic tour! 10/10.
Douglas P, Aug 2017
Tomislav was a fabulous guide who gave us both anecdotal and historical information about the city of Zagreb, which made it come alive. He showed us graphically how the city became bifurcated and thereby known as Upper and Lower Zagreb while sharing amusing stories like the chandelier hanging in Zagreb Cathedral. He took us around to parts of the city that we would have never known about on our own like the city playground walls used by graffiti artists to celebrate the accomplishments of the great inventors of Croatia His mastery of English was exceptional and his personality very winning. Once again, our walking tour of Zagreb was fabulous, and so was Tomislav!
Janice M, Jul 2017
Would highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide was great, Petra. Very knowledgeable about her city. Was so lovely walking around and seeing such quaint buildings. We would love to go back some day.
GAUTAM, Jun 2017
Monday 22 May 17 will forever be etched in my mind thanks to a wonderful walking tour of Zagreb with our highly knowledgeable and well informed guide, Tomas. He met us at our hotel and walked us around all of upper Zagreb, patiently explaining all important landmarks and Zagreb's fascinating history. As described in what to expect, Tomas stopped by at all the places mentioned and pointed out all the sights and landmarks. With an in depth knowledge of the history of Croatia in general and Zagreb, in particular, it was a treat to have had him as our guide.

This was a great introductory tour to Zagreb. My guide Maya was extremely informative, interesting, and helpful. She fit the tour to my interests and the tour was not rushed at all. Definitely do this tour, especially given the great price for a private tour.
SHANTHA R, Jun 2017
Our guide Petros kept us fully engaged during the walk with the history,culture and traditions of people of Zagreb. The walk was not a rushed one. We travelled through centuries, felt the heat and hatred of the Wars and enjoyed the mirth of independent Croatians with her commentaries. Excellent tour
Ilse L, Jun 2017
Amazing tour with great tour guide Tomislav. Very knowledgeable with great humor added through out.
Highly recommended.
Lou A, Sep 2016
Our best tour out of the 6 we took on our travels through Croatia. Mjia or Mia in English was very informative, spent more than booked time, was sweet and attentive, a kindred soul!

Excellent tour with Fillip. He is very knowledgeable, informative and has a great sense of humor.
Really enjoyed it!
Darlene_T, Aug 2016
Bernarda was a wonderful guide. She is clearly passionate and proud of her city. We didn't know much about Zagreb before arriving this lovely city and learned a lot from Bernarda. I highly recommend this tour.
