We loved our walking tour with Mel! - Truly a memorable experience! Mel was very informative on the history of the city and also spoke of her own experience growing up in Zadar. It was an enjoyable evening, we all got to know each other and had a few laughs as well. Highly recommended!!

An Unexpected Pleasure! - This was the most amazing tour--really an unexpected pleasure! Hajdi is an incredible tour guide--so informative, knowledgeable, accommodating, flexible, friendly, and personable. It was so nice to be with someone is who is from, and lives in, Zadar. We learned so much history that we could never have learned on our own in the time we had (~ 2 hours). Hajdi shared a historical perspective of Zadar, along with customs and traditions and also spoke about current practices and daily living. We highly recommend this tour and, if you are as lucky as we were, you also will have Hajdi as your tour guide!

Zadar tour was great - The tour was very good. Our guide was great, even though this was her first season. We suggest there are a few more historical sights which could be included for future tours. Lovely town!

A must-do in the old town - Very knowledgeable and lovely tour guide. Glad we did this tour as we learned much about the old town that would otherwise have passed us by. One of the churches for instance was very modest from the outside, but beautiful and ornate inside. We would have walked past!

Great tour - The guide was so informative.. if you have a spare couple hours and have any interest in history I'd highly reccomend it. It makes you appreciate the sites you see all the more when you're walking around the old town.

Strongly recommend! - Today had a historic walking tour with Hajdi! Instead of promised 1 hour and a half, she spent with us a little more than two hours! Apart from being a very attractive lady and personality, she demonstrated in depth knowledge in history answering several various questions on the history as well as any other fields of our life! Strongly recommend this tour especially if being held by Hajdi!!!
