Wonderful introduction to Zagreb

Melissa_M, Apr 2024

Great introduction to the history and culture of Zagreb. Karlo was very knowledgeable, informative and personable. He adapted to our specific interests and gave us lots of great tips for restaurants etc. we wish we had booked more tires with Karlo

Excellent personalised tour given with expert knowledge and enthusiasm

Jane_P, Dec 2023

This tour was superb from the excellent personal communication before we arrived in Zagreb to the fun walk around this beautiful city’s historic highlights. Karlo’s knowledge was encyclopaedic, but not delivered in dry facts but in stories and accompanied by a gallery of photographs showing the life of Zagreb and its people through the past century. Karlo’s love of the city and his country came shining through. We learned so much and this tour oriented us and enabled us to get the most out of the city for the rest of our stay. Karlo and his wife’s company name truly reflected a ‘bespoke’ experience. Thank you Karlo.

Would do a similar tour again at another location.

It’s an excellent way of being informed in detail about what you’re looking at. The guide was courteous, friendly and spoke excellent English. Since it was almost dark during the tour. It’s a different scenery from when the sun is out.

Great day in the city

Susan_W, Oct 2023

Karlo was great! He was prompt and styled his tour to fit us. He was very knowledgeable. Kept us on track and was amenable to our wants from the experience. I liked that he pointed out some hidden gems. Loved the funicular and the noon cannon was a hoot. I also liked our walk through the old shelters. It was a great day all around.

Great

Benjamin_C, Aug 2023

Thanks Karlo!! We did enjoyed the afternoon tour, though the weather was terrible that day, It was a perfect tour for us on the first day in Croatia.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Dear Ben! Thank you for finding the time to write such a great review. It was raining at first but I am happy the weather became better as our tour progressed. Thank you and Shawn on your wonderful company. Looking forward to our next adventure once you return to Croatia. Wishing you all the best. Kind regards, Karlo

Historically fascinating and enjoyable!!!

Julia_T, Jun 2023

Wonderful walk filled with fascinating historical facts and stories. Karlo is very knowledgeable about history and he peppered his explanations with vignettes of his own life. The tour was very much personalized and Karlo was very invested in ensuring that we were getting what we wanted out of the experience. He struck the right balancing between making each site interesting and not overwhelming us with information. He genuinely wanted us to enjoy the city and even sent us a list of restaurants, hang out places, and wine recommendations afterwards. We highly recommend this private walking tour!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Julia, Thank you for writing this great review. You and your family was amazing during our private walking tour of Zagreb. It was a pleasure to show you my city and to answer all the questions you had. It made the tour so much more interactive. Looking forward to meeting you in the future and showing you some other part of Croatia. Wishing you all the best! Kind regards, Karlo

Karlo is fantastic,...

Dear Amy, We hit it off so well it was hard to say goodbye. Thank you for this great review and I am glad that you and your husband enjoyed a great Croatian vacation. Looking forward to our next adventure! Kind regards, Karlo

Perfect day in Zagreb

anncsm, Mar 2023

We had a wonderful day in Zagreb thanks to our tour guide Karlo from Bespoke Croatia. Karlo is a well informed and enthusiastic guide who provided us with a very fun and memorable excursion. Tim and Ann, Visiting from Pennsylvania USA

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Dear Ann, Thank you and Tim for gracing me with your company during our private walking tour. It was a fabulous day overall. I am happy this tour provided a great intro to your multi-day experience of Croatia. Until next time! Kind regards, Karlo

Excellent tour with Karlo

sheila_r, Sep 2022

I highly recommend travelers to Zagreb start with a tour by Karlo, guide extraordinaire of Bespoke Croatia. With his easy manner and friendliness, Karlo introduced us to his city with enthusiasm, humor, knowledge and patience. Promptly meeting my adult daughter and I at a prearranged location, a well-known park monument, we spent our first afternoon in the Croatian capital learning geography, history, culture and quirks of this fascinating region, which he made all the more interesting using 21st century tech. From dark tunnels to hidden murals, we felt like we were seeing Zagreb from the inside! Despite the torrential rain, he remained upbeat and energized, keeping us thoroughly entertained. At the conclusion of a busy, wet afternoon, he even made reservations for us at a restaurant he recommended based on our food preferences, escorted us there, introduced us to the wait staff, and made sure we were tucked into a cosy table for traditional Croatian meal. It was delicious as were all the other meals and treats we enjoyed following Karlo's recommendations. We will definitely arrange another exceptional tour with Karlo on our next visit to this part of the world!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Dear Sheila, It was a pleasure to share many stories with you and Sonia. As we got to know each other, it became clear we share many common interests. It was great I got the chance to customize the tour to your interest. It also makes me happy you enjoyed the usage of the iPad and many of my recommendations. Thank you Sheila and Sonia! Will be seeing you either back in Croatia or in the US. Kind regards, Karlo

Excellent tour with perfect guide

colin_t, Aug 2021

Karlo A really great tour to learn more about Zegreb. karlo takes you to see parts of the city to get amazing pictures on your trip. We really enjoyed learning about this amazing city and all the quirky stories! I recommend taking this tour the day you arrive in Zagreb so you can get a layout of the city also the guide Karlo is pretty awesome at keeping you interested and it’s definitely a tour where you get your money’s worth.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Dear Colin, it was a pleasure to lead you and your lovely wife and daughter on a tour of Zagreb. Interesting stories from both sides made my day. As we both share passion for football, I have wished both of our teams (Scotland and Croatia) faired better on the Euro Championship. Next time perhaps ;) All the best and hopefully we will explore some other destinations next time. Kind regards, Karlo
