An experience we will never forget... - My family and I took a private walking tour with Karlo. I can not say enough about how wonderful it was. Our son was studying abroad in Zagreb and he was astonished at all he learned. Karlo is the third generation of his family born and raised in Zagreb. His knowledge and personal touch was priceless.

Excellent personalised tour given with expert knowledge and enthusiasm - This tour was superb from the excellent personal communication before we arrived in Zagreb to the fun walk around this beautiful city’s historic highlights. Karlo’s knowledge was encyclopaedic, but not delivered in dry facts but in stories and accompanied by a gallery of photographs showing the life of Zagreb and its people through the past century. Karlo’s love of the city and his country came shining through. We learned so much and this tour oriented us and enabled us to get the most out of the city for the rest of our stay. Karlo and his wife’s company name truly reflected a ‘bespoke’ experience. Thank you Karlo.

The only way to see Zagreb and Croatia - We are very delinquent in making this review of our Zagreb walking tour, however, Christmas is coming, so Merry Christmas Karlo! Seriously, after reading the other reviews which are all spot on, you'd be silly to look anywhere else but to Bespoke Croatia and Karlo for this and any of the three other tours we did with him during our short five days in and around Zagreb. Our experience with Karlo, starting more than a year prior to setting foot in Croatia, kept exceeding our greatest expectations. We've been blessed to travel quite a bit in our retirement and fortunate to have had a number of very good private tours, however, we have never given any tour five stars until now. If we could give him 5+ we would have. So read all the other reviews for more details and just know that you'll be in for a fabulous holiday from the time you walk out of the airport until you have to return again. Bill & Gale

A great introduction to Zagreb/Croatia. - This was our first of five tours with Karlo. He picked up us on time with his comfortable and luxury van from Zagreb airport and we continued on a walking tour of Zagreb. It was the perfect introduction. We walked the streets while he explained the history, politics, and culture of Croatia. There were many hidden gems and historic buildings that I am certain you will not find in any guide books. He also helped us decide how to spend the rest of our limited time and took us to a very traditional Croatian restaurant which was a great way to end the day. If you are going to Zagreb do yourself a favor and go with Karlo. He is the best!

Fantastic tour of Zagreb - We had the best walking tour of Zagreb and possibly our entire Croatia trip with Karlo as our guide. He is just awesome! It was our first tour of the trip and we couldn't have had a better person to familiarize us with the city, the history, the culture of Croatia. Karlo went above and beyond to make our tour memorable. An example is when he brought us to the Lotrščak tower for the cannon firing at noon. Then he took us to a great restaurant, helped us order and made sure we will have an excellent experience there. He also does customized tours so I was able to request and add a short excursion after our walking tour, which made the Zagreb experience complete. I will be reaching out to Karlo again if (rather when) I visit Croatia again. Thank you, Karlo!

Would do a similar tour again at another location. - It’s an excellent way of being informed in detail about what you’re looking at. The guide was courteous, friendly and spoke excellent English. Since it was almost dark during the tour. It’s a different scenery from when the sun is out.

Great day in the city - Karlo was great! He was prompt and styled his tour to fit us. He was very knowledgeable. Kept us on track and was amenable to our wants from the experience. I liked that he pointed out some hidden gems. Loved the funicular and the noon cannon was a hoot. I also liked our walk through the old shelters. It was a great day all around.
