7 Best Zagreb Cultural & History Tours 2021

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!

Mysterious Zagreb: Ghosts & Dragons Tour

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.

Josipa is a lovely person and all her interesting, historical stories about the places made us really connect to the city. Also we got a basic orientation and lots of useful tips for our further stay.
The coffee was good as well and we really recommend the tour!

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.

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!!!!

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.

FANTASTIC!!!!! Yeah for Iva!

The tour is both interesting and informative and allowed us to learn more about the city and its history. Iva is a talented storyteller who adds both whimsy and chills in equal measure to her tales of dragons and things that go bump in the night. We had the perfect evening for our tour - cold, crisp weather, a bright moon and heavy fog. Combine that with Iva’s gothic cloak, lantern and love of sharing spooky stories, and it was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed the evening and look forward to taking more tours with Iva in the future.

Personal, casual tour full of detail

This was a great tour we are so happy we found it as it totally enriched our experience in Zagreb. Josipa was a fun and very knowledgeable tour guide. Learning about the coffee culture feels so key to being in Croatia (and the place she took us to gave us some of the best coffee of our lives! We went back ourselves later). Additionally, she gave great suggestions for food. The tour we got was better than what we could have expected. We were talking about all the things we learned the rest of our time in zagreb!

Good introduction to Zagreb and Croatia

This is a great idea for a tour in this lovely city. Coffee is very important here. :) We had Turkish coffee made on hot sand. Josipa managed to also cover a good informative walk of the center of town, and was very open to questions of any nature. She also offered to answer questions anytime during our stay. I have not taken a tour since I was 14, yet have taken two in Zagreb, and they did not overlap at all. Both were creative and unique, just like Zagreb. Highly recommend!

Knowing and riding around Zagreb

Amazing tour around Zagreb! Had a great morning cycling around the city, listening to stories and interesting facts about Zagreb, and had a lot of fun! I really recommend this tour to everyone who wants to know about Zagreb in a different, interactive and fun way. And I loved the fact that I made it to the whole tour on bike, if you are not an outdoors person you might think that this tour is not for you but actually everyone can do it!

Awesome!

It was great to start the tour with a coffee and a lovely way to get to know each other a little bit. Josipa was super friendly and easy to connect with. She told us about many things and we really appreciated how comfortable and openly we could chat and learned a lot about Croatian history and culture. Then we went for a tour in the city again with lots of interesting stories and history. A great way to start a city trip in Zagreb!

Definitely Recommend!!!

I toured with Josipa, Her English was amazing and the tour was really informative - I learnt a lot more than I thought I was going to. I am a huge coffee lover and the Turkish coffee we had was delicious. It was fun learning about the history of coffee and Zagreb. I would really recommend this to someone who is looking for a personal touch to their tour. Josipa is lovely!

What Does Lie Beneath..

We had a great ghost tour with our guide Eva. She made the tour interesting about what legends that lie beneath Zagreb and what appear above the surface. As there were only 4 of us in the group, it made the experience more personable. Eva also took us off the beaten track to areas we would not of seen on our own. The misty night sky was a great effect to the tour.

Perfect way to see the city!

A great first day in Zagreb! Loads of great stories and sites to complement a fab cycle ride around the city... Would definitely recommend doing as early in your trip as possible in order to get a good feel of where you are, great recommendations on where to eat, fab bars and coffee. Thanks so much and fingers crossed next year looks much busier than this!

I was lucky enough to have Iva give me a private tour only for my wife and me. Being a local from Zagreb I found the tour to be very informative with just a right amount of "creepy" and "fun" :)

A year later on a company trip to Zagreb I brought the whole company (30 people) to TWO of the tours (Ghost tour and Zagrebarium). Highly recommended...

Loved it!

I hadn't told my wife what the tour was about but when she heard the title of tour, she was a little skeptical whether to go or not but after the tour she was happy that she came. Iva was very friendly and communicative and explained everything in detail and answered all our queries. We were a group of 10 people which kept it nice and good!

I was looking for to hear something unknown about my hometown and found it in this tour. Great stories, long walk at night across old town and looking for ghosts to pop-out! I would recommend to anyone that is looking for something different to experience when exploring the foreign city.
