Great tour of Zagreb - Maja was very knowledgeable of the city and she was a great guide. We covered many parts of the historic Zagreb and she even planned it so we could see the cannon go off. Well worth the money.

Zingy zestful Zagreb tour! - Petra is like my favorite teacher, I always want to listen to what she says, and I believe it. She makes walking around under the sun seem like a literal walk in the park. A must-do if it is your first time in Zagreb! Her suggestions are nice and she is very considerate.
