We hired Adam at the last second to take us to Plivitce lakes for the day. He was super flexible with timing given that we booked the tour the night before at 11 pm. Adam was a great conversationalist and we enjoyed learning about his experiences during our 2 hour drive to the lakes. He was helpful in showing us around and gave great local suggestions of places to try in Zagreb.

Maja and I met at 9am, and I was the only person booked for the day. I’m normally terrified of having to talk to someone for excessively long periods of time but literally I could not soak up enough information; she knew everything (it seemed!) about the history of Croatia, the Pltivice lakes and surrounding areas, about coffee and food and the best museums and why the travertine grew and why the lakes were a UNESCO site and what a UNESCO site is anyway. At one point I asked her why the trees on the highway were cut the way they were AND SHE KNEW THAT TOO. The visit was gorgeous and one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had in real life; I do believe this is the best Croatia can offer because I think it’s the best any country could hope to offer. I said wow over a hundred times. I cannot recommend this company, or Maja, enough, truly.

A tour to truly take you back in time. On this tour, you will have the chance to visit your "long lost cousins", who were living in this area about 125,000 years ago. The new Krapina Neanderthal Museum is a unique visiting complex, with the museum's architecture evoking the habitat of the prehistoric man. You will be able to learn all about the findings of this initial dig, and what it meant and changed regarding the understanding of our ancestors and origins. Your next stop will take you to the Medieval period. If you think of a typical castle, that is exactly what Trakošćan looks like: a beautiful and breathtaking fairy tale castle. Inside, there is a museum with a permanent exhibition which will give you the perfect insight to the life of a royal in this period of time. . The last stop is the picturesque city of Varaždin where you can get lost in its streets learning about the local stories and legends along the way.

My friends from Split recommended that we took a private tour with Jelena. Although I have previously been in Split, during the tour with Jelena I was thrilled to discover and experience a completely new side to this interesting town.Especially with so much history and diversity packed within the old historic center. Jelena is a wealth of knowledge. And the way she presents history? Makes it super easy to follow :) Now I have a clear understanding of what makes Split what it is today, after centuries of different cultures mixing and leaving their mark on the town and the wider area. I’m thankful that Jelena shared examples of everyday living in Split in the modern day. It was fascinating and funny to hear how some locals have quite a different take on “daily life” compared to a foreigner visiting. Definitely a highlight for me, were her recommendations for local vendors where to grab a bite ;) Not to forget, Jelena is one of the most charming tour guides I’ve met, and she made it so easy to connect ...She is super attentive! Too bad that we didn't have more time, to go and explore the area at large with her. She had some very alluring suggestion,..next time.

Hiking was on our third day agenda with Karlo and agency. It was just a short ride from Zagreb and you are in this lovely city Samobor and beautifull nature and hills. Partner and I hike a lot but never before had a guide, and with Karlo as experienced hiker we felt safe and well organized. Highlight of the trip- wine tasting of course :) Amazing time, Croatia's nature is so beautifull!

Enjoy the hidden gems of the North of Croatia in this private, tailor-made tour by car/minivan. Start with the Village of Kumrovec, where the president of former Yugoslavia was born, far away from the crowds of Zagreb. After a peaceful walk through this village-museum and its traditional houses and traditions, continue to our most famous castle, Trakoscan. The history of the families that owned the castle is very turbulent, so after learning about it, you can relax next to the charming lake and have a snack with a tremendous view of the castle. The tour finishes with the city of Baroque, as they call Varazdin. The numerous palaces and the Old Castle tell a long history of the city that used to be the capital of Croatia. After the tour, private transfer to your hotel or Zagreb city center.
