A tour to truly take you back in time. On this tour, you will have the chance to visit your "long lost cousins", who were living in this area about 125,000 years ago. The new Krapina Neanderthal Museum is a unique visiting complex, with the museum's architecture evoking the habitat of the prehistoric man. You will be able to learn all about the findings of this initial dig, and what it meant and changed regarding the understanding of our ancestors and origins. Your next stop will take you to the Medieval period. If you think of a typical castle, that is exactly what Trakošćan looks like: a beautiful and breathtaking fairy tale castle. Inside, there is a museum with a permanent exhibition which will give you the perfect insight to the life of a royal in this period of time. . The last stop is the picturesque city of Varaždin where you can get lost in its streets learning about the local stories and legends along the way.

Hiking was on our third day agenda with Karlo and agency. It was just a short ride from Zagreb and you are in this lovely city Samobor and beautifull nature and hills. Partner and I hike a lot but never before had a guide, and with Karlo as experienced hiker we felt safe and well organized. Highlight of the trip- wine tasting of course :) Amazing time, Croatia's nature is so beautifull!

Enjoy the hidden gems of the North of Croatia in this private, tailor-made tour by car/minivan. Start with the Village of Kumrovec, where the president of former Yugoslavia was born, far away from the crowds of Zagreb. After a peaceful walk through this village-museum and its traditional houses and traditions, continue to our most famous castle, Trakoscan. The history of the families that owned the castle is very turbulent, so after learning about it, you can relax next to the charming lake and have a snack with a tremendous view of the castle. The tour finishes with the city of Baroque, as they call Varazdin. The numerous palaces and the Old Castle tell a long history of the city that used to be the capital of Croatia. After the tour, private transfer to your hotel or Zagreb city center.

This is a very long overdue review for Croatia Photo Tour. Only a couple of weeks before my intended trip,I found out that my intended vacation to another country was no longer possible, and I was going to be going to Croatia by myself (solo female traveler). I travel internationally fairly often for business by myself, but was nervous at the idea of trying to scramble to set up a very last minute itinerary. Igor helped me arrange a fantastic private itinerary to see many of Croatia and Bosnia's most scenic spots, and worked around my inconvenient hotel accommodations during the trip. Honestly, just having the itinerary and transit arranged alone was worth the cost of the tour but having the photography instruction was such a fantastic addition to the tour! On top of that, Igor was very helpful and patient as he taught me new techniques with my camera. I am very happy with all of the photos I took, and couldn't have done it without this tour. I would be happy to hire Croatia Photo Tours for my next trip to Croatia.

Really enjoyed it. Kotor and Budva are beautiful. Picked up from the hotel, the driver/guide was very good and knowledgeable, I forgot his name otherwise I would personally praise him. I would recommend the trip. The price of it I thought was fair. 2 hours in each of the above towns is just enough to have a quick look round and visit a few buildings.

Amazing experience, we did this with large family group and both the Pletvice Lakes and Lake Bled / Ljubljana Private Tour were amazing. We did it over two days and couldn’t recommend it more. Will definitely be back to do the wine tours, as well as others. Highly recommended.
