Grand introduction and discovery of Zagreb - This is a great way to discover the rich history and visit main points of interest in Zagreb; and enjoy local produce visiting markets and restaurants through the journey of exploring the city. Karlo, the Bespoke Croatia tour guide is a great ambassador for Zagreb and Croatia. Through storytelling, you will find this tour relaxing and suitable for short and long stays in Zagreb. Karlo is very accommodating and provided a long list of tips and recommendations while staying in Zagreb. Highly recommend starting with tour. Make sure to bring your appetite!!

A tasty, historical, and MEMORABLE tour! - Karlo is a guide for the ages! No one else signed up for my day so it ended up being a private tour: LUCKY ME. Truly, you sign up for a day tour but you really get SO MUCH MORE. That is thanks to Karlo and his individual tour company: bespoke-croatia.com -- Karlo curated a combo vegan and city tour; he was so knowledgeable about the sites and history of Zagreb and Croatia as a wholte that the food treats were a BONUS to the history and facts that he shared! Each place we stopped for a bite was carefully planned out, organized, and filled with rich history. I signed up for the vegan tour because I am a vegetarian while traveling (since I'm normally kosher) -- Karlo adapted the tour as we went and even added some olive oil tasting after I told him how much I love it! I also told him that I was Jewish and he had us walk by the site of the Zagreb synagogue and the plaque that still remains. He was so mindful and truly took care of me: the kind of guide that listens to his travelers and makes sure that their experience is memorable. I loved meeting his friend at a pumpkin seed oil stand in the Dolac market, and getting to taste two different oils. The midday snack was tasty at OAZA Joyful Kitchen, especially the mango lassi! I didn't mind that the funicular was closed because the walk up was not difficult... and seeing the unique murals once we got up to the Upper town were wonderful. The highlight food was our last vegan restaurant: Zrno bio bistro -- I had the Gomoku (sautéed brown rice and vegetables with farmmade tofu and handmade seitan served with a side of short-cooked leafy greens and farmmade pickles) -- IT WAS TOO MUCH TO EAT but I took it to go. Karlo was so friendly and awesome to hang out with that our tour lasted almost 8 hours. I could say by the end that Karlo was now my friend :) And though I was definitely zonked by the end, it was because of so much walking, talking, and eating...The sign of an incredible and memorable day. I cannot recommend this tour, Karlo or Bespoke Croatia Tours more!

Great tour and tasty vegan food - This tour was so much fun!
We learned a lot about Zagreb and also got to try some amazing vegan food.
The tour takes you all around the city center and is very informative.
It's also quite a convenient way to find out where some of Zagreb's vegan eateries are located.
As a vegan I really appreciate this kind of idea and I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

An awesome walk around the center - We got to see and hear everything we wanted about Zagreb and its history - Karlo seems to know everything about the city's history and he tells it in an interesting way, complementing the raw stuff with folk stories and tidbits about Croatian greats who lived, worked and left their mark in Zagreb.
The bites were fantastic, served in top-notch restaurants. They were happy to see us everywhere we went. The food was awesome - everything we tasted was delicious and the serving sizes were just right to give you the energy to carry on, but not to make you sleepy :)
This is a great tour if you want to get complete bearings around the city. You will also hear where and when the current events take place (our tour took place before corona), you'll learn about museums and galleries, where to hang out and what to see after the tour.
Great tour, highly recommended!
