From ugly duckling to a beautiful swan - discover how Opatija transformed itself quickly from a humble fisherman's village to a "place to be" for the Austrian aristocracy. Walk with me through the historical parts of Opatija, find out why it's nicknamed the Pearl of the Adriatic, the Old Dame or the Queen of tourism and why people consider this town to be the real cradle of tourism for the country. In this tour we will walk on the seaside promenade pass the old mansions, through the flower gardens where it all began, and discover it's past and present that makes Opatija one of the most beautiful towns in Croatia.

Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Guide Goran. The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. We had two great days there, which obviously also added up to the experience. Goran is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking the six of us through the area. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to all of us. All respect for Goran who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend Pathfinder Tours to everyone!

We hired Adam at the last second to take us to Plivitce lakes for the day. He was super flexible with timing given that we booked the tour the night before at 11 pm. Adam was a great conversationalist and we enjoyed learning about his experiences during our 2 hour drive to the lakes. He was helpful in showing us around and gave great local suggestions of places to try in Zagreb.

My fiancé and I had such a good time with Jakov!! His knowledge of Croatian history and the surrounding countries was unbelievable, and he weaved in interesting stories and little facts as we strolled along in Samobor or drove through the beautiful vineyards. There was never a moment that wasn’t fun! He has such a great sense of humor and his passion for leading tour guides is wonderful. It’s clear he has so much experience as a tour guide and really is so great at what he does. We felt like we could’ve been old friends with him by the end of the day, and we’re so glad we had this opportunity. It was definitely the highlight of our stay in Zagreb!!
