Overview
It can be difficult to appreciate Zagreb’s historical and cultural significance on a self-led tour. Instead, discover the city’s highlights and hear their stories on an intimate walking tour led by a local, benefiting from the small group size for a more personalized experience. Explore landmarks including the Zagreb Cathedral, St. Mark’s Church, and Lotrscak Tower, and enjoy an included ride on the historic city funicular.

Petra was an amazing tour guide... the best we've encountered! She had so much knowledge, and told us historical stories, timed the walk perfectly and was a pleasure to listen to. Bravo, Petra! We'd gladly recommend you to others!

Fantastic Walking Tour!
Kristen_B, Apr 2025
I can 100% recommend this fantastic walking tour with Petra! We met at an easy to find, central location and at each stop, she provided us with information and stories. A highlight was going through the World War II tunnel. The tour was extremely interesting and well paced, and Petra was very open to questions. She is a friendly and enthusiastic guide and this tour was a great introduction to the beautiful city of Zagreb. 10 out of 10 for sure! ????

We appreciated the small size of the group, it made it easier to navigate the city. Tomislav was a great guide, and he gave us great restaurant recommendations.

Thank you very much. Safe return to your home!
A decent tour, on a rather wet day!
Mark_M, Mar 2025
A pleasant and informative tour, though it was less comfortable than it could have been, owing to persistent rain. Our guide knew her subject well, but sometimes spoke a little too long at each stop.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
