Great private tour with a nice and well-informed guide - Our guide Petra picked us up at our Airbnb. Very friendly and professional. She speaks very understandable English and told us a lot about Zagreb, including some interesting stories and anecdotes.
The funicular and the cannon shot were also included.
Unfortunately the tunnel was closed due to flooding, but of course that's not anyone's fault.
All in all a great way to get to know Zagreb.
Thank you very much

Great introduction to Zagreb - Spent a great and really informative morning with Petra. A great guide who brought Zagreb to life - it’s history and as a modern day city.
Three hours flew by as we wandered the lower and upper town and importantly gave us lots of ideas of visits and things to do for the following couple of days.
Thoroughly recommend.

Such An Interesting Tour - Tomaslav was a wonderful guide. A punctual pickup at our hotel, warm greeting set the tone for a great tour. We had a limited time to stay in Zagreb so Tomislav’s historical knowledge and anecdotal stories were priceless to see the highlights of this lovely city. We would have never ever found on our own the sites we saw with him to get a true vibe of this intriguing city. Would recommend this tour to everyone.
