Phenomenal private tour of Trakošćan Castle and the town of Varaždin - I just finished my phenomenal private tour of Trakošćan Castle and the town of Varaždin with Karlo from Bespoke Croatia. It was a wonderful experience - very interesting, highly informative, and a lot of fun. Trakošćan Castle is simply amazing, and Karlo is very knowledgable about its history and architecture. The town of Varaždin was also wonderful, with many beautiful buildings. On Karlo's recommendation, I had an excellent authentic Croatian meal at a local restaurant which was delightful. Karlo knows so much about the history of Croatia and the Balkans, and this tour was an excellent addition to my week-long stay in Zagreb. I highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Croatia for a memorable experience -- you will not be disappointed!

Great memories - Great trip, highly professional tour guide Karlo, beautiful Trakošća Castle and lovely Varaždin. Karlo was very informative and creative. Few exhibitions were removed and rooms were waiting for the new expositions but Karlo was presenting as they were in place creating atmosphere and forcing imagination to work. Beautiful towns and Castle, Friendly atmosphere will stay with us as great memories.thank you Karlo!!

Fun and Informative Guide - Super day with guide Karlo. The castle and Varazadin were interesting and the drive lovely.
Karlo made the trip with his informative commentary. He was also great at answering all the questions about Croatia that we’d stored up!
Would thoroughly recommend.

Great Tour! - This was a great tour! I was looking to do one more activity when I was in Zagreb, and this was a perfect way to end the trip! The scenery and castle were both beautiful. Varazdin was lovely, and it was nice to have some free time to explore. Karlo is an A+ tour guide - knowledgeable, engaging, and full of enthusiasm. If you have the opportunity to book this or another tour with Karlo and Bespoke Croatia Tours, definitely do it - he is the best!

Beautiful castles with a great guide! - Karlo is an excellent guide; he’s personable, knowledgeable, and caring. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting him, his passion for his country and its history shines through. This was our second tour with him. We did a walking tour of Zegreb with Karlo on our first day, and we enjoyed it so much that we decided to book a full day excursion with him the following day, Castles he took us to see were beautiful, and he helped us plan meals to try local cuisine. After both tours, we truly felt like we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
