Wonderful experience! - We had a lovely guide from the area, who not only shared the rich history of the town, but could tell us stories only known by locals. It was amazing to walk through history and understand the significance of where we stood thanks to Lucinja.

Great walking tour - highly recommended - We had our own private tour with Hajdi as no other people had booked on, as season is only just beginning. What a fabulous morning. Hajdi lives in Zadar and is passionately proud of her city so talks about it with such fondness and she is incredibly informative. She showed us the main sights but also gave us recommendations for after the tour which we followed up on. We bought cheese from her favourite shop and ice cream from a place she recommended. All the local insights made it all the more authentic for us. Truly an exceptional guide. Wonderful to meet you Hajdi.

Zadar Walk Tour - We had no problem locating the meeting location. Our guide was right on time and we started our tour. We had our ships excursion earlier in the month, but, this tour took us to other sights and we learned more of the history of Zadar. Our guide was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to. It was a super tour.

Beautiful architecture. - Booked with TripAdv rather than a cruise excursion and meeting our group was not a problem. The tour was better than some of the those provided by cruises, our guide made sure not to "misplace" anyone and we met some lovely people from another cruise line.
