Hi everyone! I see you are looking at my profile. That's a good start :) Let me introduce myself. You can say that I practically derive from tourism. For the last 16 years I have been actively working as a licensed local guide, driver-guide, receptionist and certified adventure guide (kayaking, hiking and cycling). In addition I have studied tourism and got my masters degree in the same field. This job is giving me the freedom to create unique experiences, for myself and for all of my clients and business partners. My tours are very much a reflection of me as a person. That means they are done in an amicable and relaxed way with a lot of laughter. All the lovely people I've had the chance to meet have joined me because they share the same enthusiasm and I see this as the main value of what makes my tours different. While working in tourism I had the honour to meet with wonderful people from all over the world that have enriched my life. All those experiences helped me understand what people really want and expect from their vacation. As the world is changing so is the needs for travel. Personally when I travel, I like to emerge myself into the life of the locals and get to know the culture. That is also my goal, to help you escape the generic tours and focus on experiences that really matter. My specialty are food and wine tours, hike tours, customized Plitvice Lakes tours, cultural day trips to Varaždin and Trakošćan castle, unique walking tours of Zagreb and of course tailor-made tours of entire Croatia. I use a car or a van for day trips of multi-day experiences. I simply love my country and I make sure that people who visit Croatia, experience it in the best possible way. So let's spice up your Croatian vacation with authenticity, knowledge, humor and friendship. -Licensed Local Tourist Guide For Zagreb city and Zagreb county -Licensed Local Tourist Guide for Lika-Senj county(Plitvice Lakes) -Licensed Local Tourist Guide for Varaždin and Varaždin county -Adventure guide license No restrictions

Overview of your Zagreb tour

Get to know Zagreb on a fully customizable private tour. As a Zagreb local I know all the ins and the outs, where to eat, drink, enjoy nightlife or experience culture. Zagreb is my favorite Croatian city (ok ok, I admit, maybe I am a bit biased) and I am happy you came here to experience it on a slightly different level. What I mean by that, is an eclectic walking tour on which you will at your own pace explore and soak in the information about history, culture and contemporary events of the country's capital. This is a very relaxed tour on which I don't rush but let my clients feel the vibe of the city. By using the iPad I will show you interesting imagery from Zagreb's past so you can compare how the city changed over time. During the tour you will visit St. Mark's church, Lotršćak Tower, the Cathedral and learn about many individuals that left their mark in Zagreb's rich history. The tour will end with plenty of Interesting information, advice, and of course with a smile on you face.

This review is very late, with apologies to Karlo. I had a very enjoyable tour with Karlo in mid-June. I am a very senior woman who was travelling on her own. Karlo gave me a morning tour that gave me a very good idea of the layout of the city and allowed me to confidently enjoy Zagreb on my own for the rest of my stay. It was a pleasure to be with him and he gave me a good understanding of the city and its history, and the food and wine I should not miss! I recommend him highly. I have used guides from ToursByLocals in many countries for many years. Karlo rates among the best!

An extraordinary tour through beautiful Zagreb, we learned a lot about history, architecture and culture. Karlo is a smart and very funny Tourguide. He is a master in storytelling which made our tour very special. Afterwards, I felt like I knew Zagreb, which made the stay very pleasant, not least because of the many tips for planning the remaining days and the great restaurant recommendations. I definitely can recommend Karlo and we will come back soon joining him for another exciting tour!

I booked two tours for my visit to Zagreb due to different interests and Karlo customized both to our preferences. Not only is he knowledgeable and friendly, he’s personable and fantastic to deal with. This is the only way to learn about a new city and is a must upon arrival. You may learn something new that completely changes your plans during your visit. I highly recommend Karlo if you’re looking for the best day ever!

Karlo is a wonderful guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Zagreb with Karlo. He is friendly, energetic and insightful about Zagreb. His knowledge of Zagreb and its history made the tour a wonderful learning, enjoyable and fun experience. The tour was a great combination of the varied sights to see in Zagreb. He shares helpful pictures and information throughout the tour. Additionally, he is more than helpful in sharing information that one can use in Zagreb while on one's own, such as restaurant listings and museums to see. Karlo's English is excellent, and he was very easy to understand. I highly recommend Karlo for tours of Zagreb and presume he is just as good for tours elsewhere in Croatia.

We had an absolutely wonderful day in Zagreb with Karlo. Within minutes of meeting Karlo, we knew we were exploring the city with a new friend. We learned so much from Karlo’s engaging and knowledgeable stories and explanation of Zagreb and Croatia’s history. Karlo customised the tour for us to include a fabulous craft beer tasting, and he also made a dinner reservation for us at Stari Fijaker - an excellent Croatian restaurant, as well as sending me a long list of restaurants, food and drinks to try. If you’re going to Zagreb, you could not find a better guide than Karlo.

Your Zagreb tour itinerary

We will start with a overview of history of Croatia which will be a great intro into the rest of the tour. During the experience I will show you multiple historical images using the iPad. We will walk the main square and learn the history behind it's name. By the Cathedral I will share all the important information but also some whacky stories. Strolling the Dolac market will give you an insight about Croatian cuisine, numerous customs and traditions. The walk will continue towards Tkalčićeva street, Zagreb's bustling area full of bars and restaurants. We will not miss out the WW2 tunnel where you will warm yourself up or cool yourself off, depending on the season ;) The world shortest funicular will take us to the Upper Town to explore Lotršćak Tower, Gradec plateau, the famous St. Mark's church and the Stone Gates. The tour will finish on the main square with a memories of a lifetime! ** All of my tours can be customized, feel free to contact me
