Today you can explore the northwest of Croatia- Hrvatsko Zagorje.
Many know about Croatia from sports fields and picture postcards of the beautiful coast, but there is so much more than just a coastline!
The northern area of Croatia is known for its little hills and castles. You will be visiting Trakošćan castle, north of Zagreb.
Trakošćan is a very picturesque place since the castle lays next to the lake. The whole property was belonging to local nobles and today is a museum open for visitors. Next to the castle, there is a lake with a walking path from where you can take great pictures of the castle. As opposite to many museums, most of the settings in the castle are the original ones!
After Trakošćan you can visit Veliki Tabor castle. These 2 castles are very different. One is very well preserved and another is restored and belongs to different nobility. Like many castles, this one is also associated with tragic stories and legends.
Apart from castles, you can explore the rest of the area and the Old village of Kumrovec.
Its made of restored old peasants’ houses with an example of local crafts that were done in the past.
The village of Kumrovec is also famous as the birthplace of TITO former Yugoslavian president.
After exploring the North of Croatia, you will drive back to Zagreb for overnight!
This is a unique trip that keeps you away from the crowd and mainstream, and it is done by real local-born, experienced, and awarded licensed guides who mostly work via word of mouth! It is an all-inclusive trip with no hidden fees, or extra charges because we care and give flexibility like no other. All pictures are our own, 100% authentic, and represent the trips as it is!
All of our trips are private ones!

Happy days in Slovenia and Croatia June 2024
What a beautiful and successful trip with Robi, owner of Soul of Croatia. Robi is a seasoned travel professional and a great human being. His planning and execution of our 12 day road trip was excellent and allowed us to see, do and be at home in his world. His English and humor and experiences gave us many good conversations and his choice of itinerary and hotels was excellent. We appreciate that he listened to our needs and tailored the trip to our requests. You will enjoy your travels with Robi!

The real deal
If you are coming to Croatia I heartily recommend Roberto P / Soul of Croatia to make your trip memorable and trouble free. Robi is an excellent organizer and very knowledgeable guide. He designed a cycling trip that gave me and my husband just the right amount of challenge and I finished feeling great. Croatia is so beautiful and he is incredibly generous with true insider info and connections. I will never forget the experiences and memories he made for us - and I have never before laughed so hard on a guided trip. I truly felt like he brought the Soul of Croatia to us.

Amazing vacation in Croatia
First time that we've been moved to make a post like this but just returned from a week long cycling trip in Croatia that is easily among the best vacations we have ever taken largely due to the expert organization and guidance provided by Robi of Soul of Croatia. Every day was truly a new adventure highlighted by beautiful rides, exceptional views, gorgeous weather, wonderful local food and people and Robi's commitment to ensuring that we fully enjoyed and appreciated the diversity and rich history that this beautiful country offers. Like everybody else in our group, we cannot wait to make a return trip and highly recommend Robi/Soul of Croatia to any others contemplating a trip to this part of the world. Thanks again Robi and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Michael and Joanne K
