15 Best Zagreb Tours & Experiences 2019

Iva is amazing!

I'm in love with Zagreb after "Secret Zagreb" tour. It was my first time in Zagreb, first time I decided to book a tour to explore the city - and everything was perfect. I felt like I touched the soul of this place. It's all because of amazing guide Iva. Thank you, Iva!!! The tour is 4 hours, but you won't be tired. You will see main sightseeings and things you cannot know they exist there. It was the best first time in Zagreb for me.

Secret Zagreb Private Walking Tour

Lovely Tour with Enthusiastic Guide

Loved this tour. It's a little campy as it's about Dragons and Ghosts but if you go in with that frame of mind it's a great hoot. A bit creepy as it's pitch black by the time you end. Guide was VERY helpful and answered all questions. I would highly recommend this to anyone going to Zagreb that just wants a bit of history, folklore, and fun!

Informative and fun!

Iva took me on a wonderful ‘secret’ tour of Zagreb and showed me things that I wouldn’t have been able to find on my own. She also went out of her way to help cater the tour to my tastes and offered help and suggestions for the rest of my stay in Croatia. Definitely book the Secret Walking Tour of Zagreb to really get to know the town!

Fabulous unique walking tour!

Iva is a most enthusiastic and passionate guide. She is a natural storyteller and is skillful at weaving stories that tell the tale of Zagreb's quirks. She was extremely flexible when I needed to reschedule multiple times and her walk took us on parts of the city we'd never have found on our own. Highly recommend!!

Creative city guide with coffee culture

Josipa has shown us Zagreb with coffee culture. As showing us the most well known points from Zagreb, she has embedded her understanding as well as the legends. Also all our Qs have been answered very well. The tips for tours and restaurants/cafe r awesome! Would like to come and visit Zagreb again.

Different perspective of Zagreb

We really enjoyed this trip with wonderful and easy going tour guide Iva Silla. She is very passionate about showing us around Novi Zagreb. An eye opener and we don't regret a bit walking thru the neighborhood of Novi Zagreb. Such a wonderful experience!

Excellent tour!

We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Josipa was an excellent host. She took us to a great coffee roastery where we had different coffees or teas to chose from. The staff at the roastery were friendly, welcoming and wanting to talk about their craft. After sitting to have our drinks at the coffee cafe we chatted with Josipa, getting to know each other this way made the tour of Zagreb that came next feel like an old friend was showing us around. If you want an authentic tour this is the one. We did this tour with our teenage children and they said it was the highlight of our brief time in Zagreb. My husband and children are the coffee drinkers and I love tea. The coffee shop had a 'made for them tea blend' for an iced tea that was remarkably outstanding. Josipa is friendly and did an excellent job showing us the highlights of Zagreb. She recommended a great restaurant that serves traditional Zagreb food. When our tour was over it was hard to say good bye to our new friend.

First - Zagreb is by far my favourite city in the world now, it beats all 'big' ones such as London, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin... I found it cosy, friendly, non-agressive towards tourists/foreigners, comforting, and sooo interesting ! It gave me the feeling I was 'at home'. Then, to make it even better, I met Iva and did the amazing Zagrebarium tour with her! I still remember almost everything she told me about - it was so vivid, so passionately told, and with just the exact amount of detail, not boring but leaving me enthusiastic about getting to know more about Croatia, its scientists and its secrets, still unveiled... I also got some chocolate as a gift!! Loved it, loved it, loved it! Thank you Iva, and this was ONLY the first time we meet, I am definitely coming to Zagreb and to do the Zagrebarium and also the Ghost tours again!

Great Tour; Not to be Missed

Having visited Zagreb a few times in the past, I thought I had seen and knew almost everything this city could offer a tourist. Was I ever wrong! Secret Zagreb opened an entirely new window onto the city, its history and legends. Secret Zagreb was a revelation. The guide was absolutely excellent, spoke English extremely well and was a font of knowledge; easily surpassing any good travel guide you can buy. If you’ve never been to Zagreb before or if you have visited a few times, I would highly recommend this extraordinary tour through the city. I can assure you that you will not only have a great time but lots of fun. I’ve since been on two of the tour offerings and hope to have enough time here to go on a third or fourth. Leave your Rick Stevens and Lonely Planet tour books in your hotel room and step out for a real adventure!

Iva Silla provided a superb tour of Zagreb, perfect agenda about 3 hours in the Upper Town and 1 hour in the Lower Town. We hit all the tourist highlights; she also exposed several interesting features of the inner city not sited in the guide books. She addressed all questions about all issues and painted a understandable and clear picture of Zagreb under socialism, in the 90’s, and now. She was extremely accommodating. When she saw my interest in buying a commiserative coffee cup, she steered me to stores that were less expensive and had a wider selection. As she saw my hands were full of camera equipment, she immediately volunteered to carry my coffee cup. Can’t say enough about this charming young lady. If you’re in the Zagreb area, retain Iva to enhance your efficiency and effectiveness of learning and seeing Zagreb.

We booked the ghost tour on our first day in Zagreb. The meeting point is at the Stone Gate. This is very easy to find because it's one of the main sights of the city. Our guide, Iva, was already waiting for us. It turned out we were the only participants that day. I don't like moving around in big groups of tourists so this was great news for me.
Iva is a great storyteller and is pretty fluent in English. The ghost tour is quite new. She told us she started in June. The great thing about this tour is that you get to see places and hidden secrets you wouldn't normaly see. It's a 2 hour walk and the stories change your view of Zagreb completely.
It's not a 13 in a dozen tour, it's something special. If you find yourself in Zagreb you should certainly take this tour.

The anecdotes of Zagreb with Josipa!

Starting off with an excellent coffee, it was a great way to get to know Zagreb. Josipa was a fountain of knowledge about her city. not only did we get to know about the current Zagrebian culture, like meeting at Spiza, but also the history of the town and country. The witches of Zagreb, was something I certainly didn't know about! The explanation of the Cathedral, the noon day gun, and of course the St. Marks square with its beautiful church. Josipa was a delight, and I would recommend anyone to do this walking tour to get to know Zagreb, before you start exploring the city on your own. Josipa, we looked for the "Witch from Gritch" beer , but no luck!!!!

Secret Zagreb Tours - A different kind of walking tour

I did both, the Ghosts & Dragons Walking Tour as well as the Zagrebarium tour. Both were super fun and our guide Iva was funny, helpful and knowledgeable at all times. It was a very fresh and distinguishable approach from the regular kind of walking tour (the resourceful costumes of Iva alone would give the tours a certain edge). Also, top-notch customer service: when there was a substantial downpour right before the tour started, Iva did not mind rescheduling or refunding. All in all, a very pleasant experience I can definitely recommend for everyone that wants to have an informative walking tour that is slightly different than the "regular" tours.

An amazing tour

The tour with Josipa was absolutely amazing. Her knowledge, combined with a super organized tour, made for a winning combination. The perspective of coffee culture was surprising for me, as I didn't realize how deep of a role coffee plays in Croatia. Josipa made the connections between coffee and Croatian history come alive. I have travelled to many places in the world and must say that Josipa's expertise and extremely pleasant manner stand out as one of the most excellent guides I have had. I highly recommend this tour as well as any others she might give.

Lake Bled and Ljubljana with a difference

A fabulous day for my cousin and I touring two of the highlights of Slovenia yesterday with Jakov! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to spend the day with!! Jakov’s enthusiasm, humour, personalised attention, knowledge and story telling surpassed our expectations. He made sure the day was what we wanted combined with the best that these two places had to offer, providing information in both English and Croatian.
Thank you from Mare and Lisa for making our day a memorable one with lots of laughs!
Awesome day, one we’ll remember always! ❤️
