An excellent day trip to Varaždin and Trakošćan castle. - We finished went on a group excursion through the Varaždin, visiting baroque architecture and being guided through the history of the area.
We then took a tour into Trakošćan castle, having some time to look through.
The view around Trakošćan castle was scenic and very nice. We could have spent a little more time around the lake of Trakošćan.
Overall, it was a very nice day trip.

Loved the day!! - Wow! Myia (spelling?) was amazing. First of all her command of English was better than most native Americans. Even more importantly she knew her stuff—very authoritative. Finally, she smiled the whole day. It made you want to listen to her. Ps. Great driver too

Great tour, great guide - I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide (sorry, forgot her name) was excellent and very knowledgeable, plus her English was perfect. The village of Varazdin was beautiful! She gave us a tour of the town, and then we had plenty of time to walk around and explore the town on our own and have lunch. Then we drove to Trakoscan Castle, which was very interesting and historic. There are quite a few steps to get up to the castle, but everyone in the group was able to make it. The views from the castle were spectacular. Highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Zagreb.
