Best food Tour - We had an unforgettable food tour of the city with Tea, our amazing guide! I do a food tour in almost every city I visit - get some countries favorites. This tour was exceptional, not only because of the food but the guide. Tea was one of the best tour guides I had. She was informative, attentive, knowledgeable, overall, the BEST.

Best food tour ever! - You think the title is joking. We are not! Our guide, Tea, was amazing. She was not only personable and lovely to be around but she really took time and effort to curate the perfect gastronomic tour in Zagreb. She was our best friend for half a day. We were fortunate that it was only the three of us that spent the next four and a half hours together walking, talking, eating, and drinking our way through the city. From home-made treats to sampling food at iconic locations and local restaurants in the centre of Zagreb, sharing stories with her contacts at the local shops plus meeting local characters on this knowledge filled adventure . It was a masterpiece.

Best food tour ever. - We enjoyed a fantastic education into the history and cultural aspects of food in Zagreb. Tea, our guide gave us lots of information about the habits of eating and how many of the meals developed over many centuries. The food we tasted was awesome, very varied and we understood how it came about. The food represented real home cooking, typical times it was eaten and drinks to complement making this a brilliant experience. We have already recommended this tour to friends and they agreed that it was the best food experience they have had. It should be a “must do “ when you visit Zagreb

If you only do one tour in Zagreb, make it this one! - We’ve taken food tours in every country we have been to. And we’ve been to too many places to count! This particular tour is definitely in the top five of all the food tours we’ve ever taken. The reason for that first and foremost was our guide Tea. Not only did we learn about the area and history, but she also informed us on what is happening in modern Zara. And as for the food. There was a lot of food, but I wouldn’t change a thing about it! It was delicious and she told the history of the food how to make it and anything you wanted to know about it. There was so much variety to eat. And I learned I actually love Croatian food! But like I said the highlight was Tea. She was so professional and insightful. Highly recommend taking this tour!

Outstanding food tour! - Tea was an amazing tour guide! She did a fantastic job of relating the foods we tasted to historical times or events and the different regions of Croatia. She was very friendly, easy to talk to and had a wealth of knowledge about her city and country.

Fabulous Food and History Tour! - One of the best tours I have ever been on anywhere in the world! Tea took me around Zagreb from historic hotels to the local market with its milk women offering fresh cheeses to local food stands to modern (yet down to earth) restaurants. This tour had it all and Tea sprinkled in some of her home cooked delicacies that she brought with her for me to try. THANK YOU Tea!!! Oh, and her knowledge of the history behind the dishes is phenomenal. This is a food and history tour, so get ready to be stimulated mind, palate, and soul!!!

Highly recommend taking... - Highly recommend taking this tour with Tea! She is delightful and clearly cares so much about giving her guests a wonderful experience. I ended up having a solo tour as no one else had booked, and so I felt rather like Anthony Bourdain on No Reservations as we went around sampling food and chatting. Best tour I did in Zagreb.
