★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 77 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $132Our pick

Small group trip from Zagreb to Varazdin and Trakoscan Castle, with guided walks, included tickets, and hilltop views.

“I can’t rate this tour, guide, and company high enough! The company specializes in small group day tours, and they really deliver. I was the only person who signed up, and instead of canceling most would have, they sent my guide, Karlo in a car and we had a fantastic day! He was fun and knowledgeable and attentive to my needs, and the timing of the whole trip was perfection. Never did I feel like I didn’t have enough time in any place we visited. Thank you Karlo! I truly hope to see you again when Mark and I return to Zagreb.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 53 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $60

Calm kayak tour in Karlovac, paddling Mrežnica and Korana with a beach break and a visit to the Army Collections museum.

“We got to Karlovac at the meeting point and we were picked up by a van to take us to the river. Mattia the tour guide was very nice and friendly and since we were not used to kayaking we got stuck at the beginning but he waited for us until we got the hang of it. We swam a bit at a nice spot in the river and we also took a short break until we continued our kayaking tour.”

I would thoroughly recommend this excursion,”

“We had a great time on a wintery wine tour. We were met at our hotel by Tom who was a great guide. Throughout the tour he presented historical and practical knowledge of the region in a kind and entertaining way. We enjoyed the brief stop in Samobar for Samobar cake that was a great start to the day. From there it was a drive through the mountains to reach two wineries. The first server lovely natural wines and sparkling wines. These were served with a large spread of homemade sausages, cheese and bread. The second location was smaller and even more intimate, where we drank and chatted with the…”
