Great half-day tour with Karlos! I learned a lot about the local culture and history, and got to try a lot of delicious food. Karlos was a friendly and helpful guide througout. Highly recommended!
Stacy_A, Feb 2024
This was such a fun way to explore Zagreb! Karlo is a fantastic tour guide, and this tour is a great way to get to know Zagreb’s history, see the city, and eat some delicious food! Karlo is such a thoughtful tour guide, and his pride in his country shines through. If you have the opportunity to book this tour, or another one through Bespoke Croatia, definitely do so - Karlo is the best!

Dear Hayley,
Thank you for finding the time to such a great review. We had a fantastic time exploring Zagreb and trying some delicious food. I am happy to have meet yet another fellow foodie :) Wishing you all the best with your studies and of course many more travels! Hope to see you again on some other adventure.
Kind regards,

This was absolutory my favorite tour of our trip! From the moment we booked Karlo was communicating with us. He even shared some restaurant recommendations with us before our tour so we knew where to go to dinner. The day of the tour he showed up with amazing traditional Croatian pastries. We then proceeded to do a charcuterie, cheese and olive oil tasting (at different locations) before heading to the market for more tastings. Along the way he told us about the history of Croatia. We ended the tour at a delicious restaurant tasting more traditional Croatian food. Leave the ordering up to Karlo to ensure you get to experience everything they have to offer. We spent the entire day with Karlo and for everything included the value is amazing. Come hungry, try everything and leave with a full tummy and a new friend! Thanks Karlo!

Karlo is very witty and made me laugh. He was very easy to be around and enjoyed showing me the sights. He is a foodie and loved talking about the food that we ate during the tour. We covered a lot of ground and got to see some historical sites in the area.

Do yourself a favour and DO NOT EAT BREAKFAST! Karlo's Bites & Eats tour is a surprise package that is generous in its hospitality, history and culinary journey that is Croatia! Karlo shares the history of Croatia as you walk through parts of Old Town and Upper Town interspersed with culinary discoveries that is guaranteed to delight. Karlo is a thoughtful & knowledgeable host and we wish we'd found him sooner!

I loved every place Karlo took me to. The people we wet were kind and knowledgeable of their delicious products. At one point, I was in tears while eating the sheep cheese with truffle honey drizzled on top - it was sublime; by far one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten. The history of Croatia mixed with the food of Croatia makes a more meaningful tour. I will be going back to Zagreb and eating more of the delicious food.
The tour is loaded with food. I suggest you go hungry.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Dear Chris,
Thank you for finding the time to write this fabulous review. We had a great day exploring Zagreb and munching super tasty local food. It truly makes me happy you enjoyed the food to the point it made you teary :) Life is about little pleasures and as a fellow foodie I totally understand. Looking forward to your next visit and many more adventures.
Kind regards,
Karlo
AnneMarie_Z, Feb 2023
A great was to see the sights of Zagreb and learn a little about the history of the city and Croatia. Karlo is passionate about his work and great company. Everything was perfectly organised - from the information pre-tour, the tour route itself and some useful information and suggestions post-tour. All the food stops were enjoyable - lovely food and friendly vendors. Highly recommended, and good value and you don't need to eat for the rest of the day!
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Dear Anne-Marie,
It was a pleasure to host a fellow foodie and show you around my city. The vendors are all top-notch professionals that bring us into their own world by tasting their premium products and I am happy you recognized that. I would call this tour a happy tour, for all the reasons you have mentioned in your review. Thank you once more for choosing our tour on your short visit to Zagreb. Cheers to many more visits and travels!
Kind regards,
Karlo
