Zagreb Food Tour: Local Dishes & City StoriesA 3-hour small-group food tour of Zagreb's city centre led by a licensed local guide, stopping at multiple food spots to taste authentic local dishes, traditional Croatian pastries, cheeses and liquor. The tour starts and ends at Ban Jelačić Square and includes a walk through Dolac Market, Zagreb's oldest and largest green market, plus stops on the city's liveliest streets. Groups stay under 12 people, and you can arrange special dietary requirements in advance.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to taste what locals actually eat instead of tourist-menu versions, and you'd rather have a guide point out the stories and the history than wander a market alone. The fixed 3-hour route and included tastings mean you're not deciding where to stop or what to try—the guide has already built the day around the best food spots and the stories that matter to Zagreb.
Zagreb Walking Tour: Old Town, Dolac Market & WWII TunnelYou’ll walk Zagreb’s old streets with a local guide who knows every shortcut and story.

Zagreb: Private Walking Tour with Local Guide & FunicularYou walk through Zagreb's medieval upper and lower towns with a licensed local guide, visiting Stone Gate, Zagreb Cathedral, Dolac Market, the Grič Tunnel, and riding the world's shortest funicular past Lotrščak Tower.

No tickets to buy separately; it's all walking and talking.Is it for me?Book this if you want to understand how Zagreb actually grew—from two medieval hilltop towns into a modern capital—without arranging a guide yourself or worrying about which neighborhoods matter. The three-hour frame and local knowledge mean you see the real layers of the city instead of just ticking off landmarks.
Zagreb to Plitvice Lakes: Guided Day Trip with Rastoke & BoatYou’ll start your day with pickup in Zagreb before heading out with your local guide through rolling countryside to Rastoke village for riverside coffee.

Ljubljana & Lake Bled Day Trip: Funicular & Julian AlpsA day trip from Zagreb to Slovenia's two most visited destinations, with a guided walking tour of Ljubljana's Old Town, a funicular ride to Ljubljana Castle, and free time at Lake Bled on the edge of Triglav National Park. The guide organizes your time at Bled based on what interests you — swimming, cycling, a traditional boat ride to the island, or exploring the 11th-century castle are all optional. Small group tours include hotel pickup in Zagreb; group tours meet at a central point.Is it for me?The small group option with pickup removes the need to find your way to a meeting point in an unfamiliar city; the group tour option suits travelers staying outside the hotel pickup zone or preferring a larger tour. Either way, the guide's local knowledge and the structured morning in Ljubljana give you enough confidence to spend the afternoon at Bled doing only what appeals to you.
