We had the best day out, stunningly beautiful and well planned out. Our guide was Bojan, he was very knowledgeable, fun and shared a lot of information. Bojan communicates very well, so we always knew what was going on. We also took the evening walking tour of Zadar with Ante, again an excellent tour. Ante was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable - we really enjoyed his company. We highly recommend this package, excellent value and a highlight of our trip.

our guide, Lovro, aka Larry. was so funny and informative. this place is one of the most beautiful and pristine I have ever been to in all my travels. the long bus ride is worth it.
