What are people saying about Zadar

Full-Day Tour of Plitvice Lakes National Park from Zadar

Kim_M, Oct 2026

This tour is a must if you are visiting Croatia….

This was a fabulous tour very smooth picked up from the cruise ship then off to one of the most beautiful national parks I’ve ever seen. A highlight of our Croatia trip recommended by friends …..Our tour guide Terezija was fabulous. She advised us to do the tour in the reverse order which worked out perfectly as we were able to take many photos with nobody else in them. I recommend doing this in the morning as it’s not too busy the lakes were beautiful and we had a great lunch included. One of our favourite tours.

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

Thomas_M, Oct 2026

Snorkeling and Seafood

A fun excursion to three islands, the first and third with swimming and snorkeling. The second island was a lunch stop at an excellent seafood restaurant with very reasonable prices. Of about a dozen people on our boat, we were the only Americans. We had a nice conversation with a young German couple. The tour took three hours. They do one in the morning and another in the afternoon.

The Tuk Tuks seat 4 so we ended up sharing with another couple from our cruise ship. Our drive was Luca and very good.

Deborah_L, Sept 2026

Great tour, highly recommended

Lovely traditional boat, not too many people at this time of year. Staff were friendly and helpful. Enjoyed swimming and snorkelling and if course the wine! Suggest taking extra layers as it gets surprisingly windy and cold on the boat especially with the early start. Great experience and very reasonably priced, would do it again.

Andrija and Nikolina (his trainee) did an excellent job providing a personal tour for me. I was the only one who signed up for the tour and was more than happy to keep it after meeting both tour guides. The sample of local cheeses, food and wine at most locations was exceptional! The brief overview of Zadar’s customs provided by Andrija was informative without being overwhelming. What a great couple of hours spent learning about Zadar’s culture and tasting some of the traditional cuisine in the area. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Andrija or Nikolina.

Victoria_H, Apr 2026

Had to cancel but…

We had to cancel the tour the morning of the tour. My husband came down sick I want to say the communication with Dorja was excellent. She helped me prior to the tour with pictures of the car picking us up port side plus more. The responses concerning us canceling at the last minute were prompt and well meaning. We were disappointed not to be able to tour but I would not hesitate to book again if we ever get back.
