Unique and wonderful! - This tour combined the history of Zagreb with the stories of famous Croatian writer Marija Juric Zagorka. Marija was back from the dead as our “guide”. Beautifully done from start to finish! Highly recommended!!!

More Than Just a Walking Tour - This tour was a fantastic way to experience Zagreb’s Upper Town. Our costumed guide Đurđica made history and legends come alive with engaging storytelling about witches, nobles, and hidden secrets of the city. It felt immersive, fun, and full of atmosphere. This is perfect for anyone who loves culture, history, or simply wants more than a standard sightseeing checklist. I also recommend ending the evening with the optional tasting at the House of Spirits, it was a fun a way to close the experience.

Local tour in Zagreb - As a slovenian couple we weren't sure what to expect. Slovenia and Croatia have similar culture and history, but some things are different. However, our fears were unfounded. A walk through Zagreb was relaxing and engaging. Tour guide gave a ton of stories about experiences and situations of quite known historical figures. Some were not known to us, but we quickly learned about them. Guide also read and acted out scenes which was marvelous!! At the very end, she organized refreshment and chatted with all of us. Loved every second of it!!

⭐️ A Captivating Journey Through Zagreb’s Mystical Past – Unforgettable ⭐️ - I can’t recommend this tour highly enough! From the very first moment, we were swept into the heart of Zagreb's most fascinating and mysterious stories, brought vividly to life by our incredible guide, who was not only in full historical costume but truly became a storyteller from the past. Her energy, passion, and knowledge were absolutely infectious that we hung to every word. She was so engaging and made every stop feel like a personal experience. It was clear that she loved sharing the history and legends of Zagreb, and her enthusiasm made the entire tour feel magical! To top it all off, the visit to the House of Spirits at the end was the perfect way to wrap up — the tasting was delicious, and the atmosphere was the ideal finish to such a memorable journey.
