Private Tours on Krk – Experience the Island’s Heritage, Stories and People

Through interpretive walks and themed guiding, we reveal Krk as it truly is: layered, authentic, and shaped by the everyday life of the people who live here.

Why choose Mare Tours for culture and heritage on Krk

Instead of standard sightseeing, we offer stories that connect past and present — small details that change the way you see a place, and experiences that stay with you precisely because they feel personal.

What you can expect:

• private guiding in your rhythm

• local context — not just a checklist of landmarks

• real stories of the island and its people

• suggestions tailored to your interests (heritage, Glagolitic culture, sacred sites, coastal and fishing life, myths, landscapes)

Private city tours on Krk

Every place on Krk has its own character, pace and story — best heard from someone who knows it from the inside.

Private tours are ideal for couples, families, friends and anyone who prefers a calmer tempo: no crowds, no rushing.

Vrbnik – private tour with a local guide

A medieval town perched on cliffs above the sea, known for its famously narrow street, Žlahtina wine and a centuries-old Glagolitic tradition.

A walk through its stone alleys reveals details that are easy to miss — but once you notice them, Vrbnik never looks the same again.

Town of Krk – private city tour with a local guide

The island’s historic capital, with its cathedral, Roman traces and the Frankopan castle.

The tour uncovers layers of history and everyday life that intertwine at every step.

Baška – private tour with a local guide

Home to the Baška Tablet and one of the Adriatic’s most beautiful beaches.

Yet beyond the beach lies a rich past, an old fishing way of life and stories most visitors never hear — and that’s exactly what gives Baška depth.

Košljun – an island within an island

A short boat ride to the monastic islet of Košljun is one of the most special experiences on Krk.

A Franciscan monastery, valuable sacred and Glagolitic collections, and an ancient forest create a place of quiet, contemplation and deep heritage.

Practical information (clear and simple):

• boat departure from Punat

• tickets are purchased on Košljun

• a guided monastery and museum visit with a local guide can be arranged on request

Forgotten villages and hidden stories of Krk

For guests who want Krk beyond the tourist routes, we offer an adventurous private tour — a search for forgotten villages.

Guided walks reveal abandoned places, old paths and stories of the life that once was — an authentic glimpse of island history that you won’t find in guidebooks.

Multi-day cultural journeys

Kvarner Archipelago – 9-day journey in the footsteps of the Argonauts and along the Amber Route

For those who want full immersion in the region’s culture and history, this multi-day journey through Krk, Cres and Lošinj blends mythology, heritage and authentic local experiences.

Interpretation centres

DUBoak Interpretation Centre – ticket

A contemporary centre in Malinska that presents the island’s natural and cultural heritage in an interactive way — an excellent introduction to Krk for families and for everyone who enjoys learning through experience.
