Ivan is an excellent tour... - Ivan is an excellent tour guide—very kind, funny, and knowledgable. You never know what experience you might have on these kinds of tours, but I was so glad I booked this one. The wines were all whites, which made me happy, and all very good. It was perfect to have a walking/history tour with stops for food and drinks along the way.

Great food tour - unclear starting location - Excellent combination of great food, sightseeing, and introduction to true Zagreb culture! Our guide was fantastic! I do wish it would have been clearer that we were meeting at the statue, but once we started, all was wonderful!

Fantastic experience - Our guide Ivan was personable and informative as well as fun to spend time with. His knowledge of history is impressive and his passion for his city is contagious. This experience helped us to get well oriented on our first day in Zagreb. Restaurant choices, food and beverages were delicious. We arrived hungry as directed and we were stuffed by the end!

Fun and Yummy Tour With Marin - Great tour with opportunity to try a variety of food and wine. Everything was delicious. Marin was a wonderful guide. He covered a lot of topics and was enthusiastic about sharing his city. Only suggestion is that our group would have liked him to share the meals with us and visit while we ate and drank.

Walking and eating/drinking - Marron was a very knowledgeable guide & we enjoyed the food and wine too. Although there was much walking he did pay attention to slow walkers.

Delicious and informative - Our guide gave us a little lesson in speaking Croatian that was quite helpful. He was also very knowledgeable about the local food scene. He shared some good history as we walked from location to location.

Nice way to spend an afternoon getting to know Zagreb. - This was a great way to spend our last day in Croatia. We wanted to just relax and not have to worry about where to eat. The company was good and the restaurants where we ate were all tasty. The wine was ok. Our guide was good, he seemed a bit under enthused at first but then opened up as the tour took place and it turned out to be a very enjoyable time. We were definitely full at the end.

Meh - ok if you have not had some traditional Croatian foods - We were glad to try cevapcici and strukli. The guide was friendly and provided information about the food and a little history. The first glass of wine was quite good but the others were not which was disappointing because we had only had great wine on our trip. We were expecting better food and wine - only the cevapcici and the two pieces of cheese at the first stop were really good. We are not sure why this tour has such great reviews - we have been on better tours in other countries.
