An excellent way to get to know the city and its history - We had an excellent time walking the streets of Zadar with Dorja. Not only did we learn about the history of the city going back to the Romans and the Venetians, but Dorja also told us about the more recent history of the city too. We walked to all of the main monuments but Dorja also had lots of hidden gems to show us that we never would have discovered on our own. We would highly recommend this tour.

More than just a history lesson — a great way to see the old and new of Zadar - Dorja was a very informative, attentive and friendly guide - with a good sense of humour too! She was happy to run the tour for just the two of us and even went above and beyond the itinerary listed in the initial tour description. She shared lots of historical information, both ancient and more recent, as well as her own local insights on life in Zadar and Croatia and even some handy recommendations for us tourists!

Total Immersion in local culture and history - Dorja was an amazing guide, detailed, patience and knowledgeable. She was focusing completely in her task without caring about anything else and was able to reply to numerous questions satisfactorily.

Great overview of Zadar incl. all important sights and infos of a local - Very well informed guide about historic sights of Zadar like St. Donat, St. Anastasia, Roman ruins etc. as well as new sights like Morske Orgulje and youth culture in Zadar. During the explinations it is very noticeable that the guide grew up in Zadar and region.
