What are people saying about Zadar

Marianne_T, Apr 2026

Exactly what we were looking for

This 2 hour walking tour was full of interesting facts and history of Zadar. Our guide, Dorja, was knowledgeable and friendly. She took her time to answer all of our questions. We covered most of old town. We had a small cheese and marrichino wine tasting. I would recommend this tour with Dorja.

Nicola_S, Oct 2025

Stunningly beautiful place

This place had been on my bucket list for some time and it was a truly magical and stunning place with the train ride and boat transfer included. A large group but it all worked out well and our guide Paula was very knowledgeable for her younger years. Communication on the day was via WhatsApp which I don't use but I didn't get lost so was alright in the end. Nice unexpected touch at the end with the free souvenir gift too.

Family Trip in October

Our family truly enjoyed this trip. The tour lasted about four hours, and we covered around ten kilometers at a light yet steady, sporty pace. We made three short stops along the way, which was just right — though I’d say the pace suits someone with a bit of prior experience in such adventures. The surrounding nature was absolutely breathtaking, and our child was thrilled throughout the journey. The highlight, of course, was going down a three-meter drop with the boat — an unforgettable moment! If you appreciate active outdoor experiences, this tour is definitely worth it. Special thanks to our wonderful guides, Andrei and Matej, for their great support and energy.

Zadar: 3 Islands Luxury Boat Tour with Aperol Spritz & Snorkeling

Roy_P, Oct 2025

Great tour with plenty of free time

Good trip. Boats are modern and well kept. Take off shoes before boarding helps. Our captain, Eddy, was a cool guy and showed us where to go on the islands. Each island gives you about 45m-1h free time for a walk, drink or snack. As a group of friends, this was perect for us. Then a short boat ride with Aperol to the next stop, we loved it!

Zadar Food Tasting & Old Town Guided Walking Tour by Šušur

Siobhan_M, Oct 2025

Great experience!!

What a fantastic experience! I recently took the 2-hour wine tasting and walking tour of Zadar's Old Town and it was an absolute delight. The tour is a great way to spend an evening, offering a wonderful blend of history, sightseeing, and delicious local flavor. As a solo traveler, I felt completely comfortable and it was a relaxed and engaging way to see the town and meet a few people. Our tour guide was excellent—knowledgeable, charismatic, and genuinely fun to be around. She brought the history of Zadar to life and made the walk feel more like a stroll with a local expert. The food and wine were delicious. It was a high-quality tasting that gave a genuine sense of the regional cuisine and winemaking. Honestly, it was the perfect amount of time—about two hours of relaxed wandering, fascinating stories, and delightful sips and bites. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Zadar, but especially if you're looking for a delightful, well-paced evening activity or are exploring the town solo!

Full-Day Tour of Plitvice Lakes National Park from Zadar

Ken_L, Sep 2025

Great Guide, Beautiful Experience

The lakes are a beautiful and iconic destination in Croatia. Our guide,.Terezija (probably didn’t spell that right) was fantastic. It was 52° when we arrived at the top of the mountain, so I had to buy a sweatshirt because I had not planned ahead. Our tour started at the top of the mountain and worked its way down and we didn’t encounter very much in the way of crowds at all. It’s just the opposite if you start down and work your way up. It’s a beautiful forested walk at 16 lakes spill one into the other with all sorts of waterfalls to see along the path. There’s also a short 20 minute boat ride to get from the upper lakes to the lower lakes.. All in all a highly recommended experience if you are looking for a day activity in the port of Zadar.

Hidden Gems of Zadar Eco tuk tuk Tour

Eileen_L, Jul 2025

What a great way to see Zadar

We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the lovely city of Zada on a tuk tuk. Luca, our guide, took us to places where buses could never access. Plus, it was a very hot day, so it was nice to sit back in the tuk tuk and relax instead of walking all over town. Luka was very knowledgeable in the city’s history and culture. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and highly recommend it.

Zadar: Tour of 4 islands by speedboat with wine and snorkeling

Anshul_G, Jul 2025

Absolutely incredible 4 hour trip

Highly recommended boat trip, it's a great experience and a must-do in Zadar in my opinion. The skipper is very attentive, helpful and well spoken and takes good care of the group whilst allowing people to enjoy themselves. Plenty of time to swim/snorkel and also to explore some parts of the islands. The boat is also very clean and works well with the small group size. We had a very enjoyable time and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks Bart!

Stunning

The trip was well organised. The shop/cafe stop before arriving at the national park is a great opportunity to buy strudel, sausage rolls etc and even at the park there are sandwiches and burgers so food and drink isn't a problem. Our guide was very knowledgeable and he updated us during the whole trip. We took the 8km route and don't regret it. So pretty.

Amazing!!

So fun and unique experience with Roko on our private Tuk Tuk around Zadar. He picked us up from our hotel, showed us a few local spots and then drove us to a beautiful vineyard where we enjoyed three wine tastings and a charcuterie spread. The evening was so lovely and Roko gave us an amazing experience. Highly recommend!!
