What To Expect
King Tomislav Square

The reason for this is that it is also where the railway station is located, symbolizing travel, arrivals and departures, the merging of cultures, and the beginning of tourism. There, we will start our discussion about table culture, culinary habits, and Croatian dishes. And we will also have something to eat - on the go.
Zrinjevac

5.00We had the absolute best time with Tea as our food and culture guide!! She showed us the best of the best, and we continued to use her recommendations for the other cities we visited after Zagreb, which never disappointed. If you only do one thing in Zagreb, make it this one!! Also come hungry!
Awesome food and guide!

5.00After a scheduling mishap guide Tea was very flexible to reschedule. The tour was great featuring a lot of delicious Croatian food (don’t have too big of a breakfast because before!). Tea was also very warm, understanding, knowledgeable, and resourceful. Being that it is also a small group (in fact I was the only participant) also gave this tour a more personable feel. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to do a day activity in Zagreb and to have a full taste of Croatian/Balkan cuisine!
Great way to get a taste of Zagreb!

5.00Wow! This was a wow experience! Tea was a fantastic guide. She has clearly done her homework. She started by getting us acclimated to Zagreb then took us out exploring. Everything was perfect. We tried small cafes, a fancy coffee shop, and local gems. If you take this tours come hungry!
Tea is amazing guide- so...

5.00We had an unforgettable food tour of the city with Tea, our amazing guide! I do a food tour in almost every city I visit - get some countries favorites. This tour was exceptional, not only because of the food but the guide. Tea was one of the best tour guides I had. She was informative, attentive, knowledgeable, overall, the BEST.
Best food tour ever!

5.00You think the title is joking. We are not! Our guide, Tea, was amazing. She was not only personable and lovely to be around but she really took time and effort to curate the perfect gastronomic tour in Zagreb. She was our best friend for half a day. We were fortunate that it was only the three of us that spent the next four and a half hours together walking, talking, eating, and drinking our way through the city. From home-made treats to sampling food at iconic locations and local restaurants in the centre of Zagreb, sharing stories with her contacts at the local shops plus meeting local characters on this knowledge filled adventure . It was a masterpiece.
Great Tour!

5.00One of the best food tours we have taken! Our guide Tea was wonderful! We learned about the history of Zagreb as well as the history of all our food samplings. There is a lot of food to eat on this tour so go hungry!
Best food tour ever.

5.00We enjoyed a fantastic education into the history and cultural aspects of food in Zagreb. Tea, our guide gave us lots of information about the habits of eating and how many of the meals developed over many centuries. The food we tasted was awesome, very varied and we understood how it came about. The food represented real home cooking, typical times it was eaten and drinks to complement making this a brilliant experience. We have already recommended this tour to friends and they agreed that it was the best food experience they have had. It should be a “must do “ when you visit Zagreb
If you only do one tour in Zagreb, make it this one!

5.00We’ve taken food tours in every country we have been to. And we’ve been to too many places to count! This particular tour is definitely in the top five of all the food tours we’ve ever taken. The reason for that first and foremost was our guide Tea. Not only did we learn about the area and history, but she also informed us on what is happening in modern Zara. And as for the food. There was a lot of food, but I wouldn’t change a thing about it! It was delicious and she told the history of the food how to make it and anything you wanted to know about it. There was so much variety to eat. And I learned I actually love Croatian food! But like I said the highlight was Tea. She was so professional and insightful. Highly recommend taking this tour!
