We were picked up at our hotel by guide Ivan and driver Antonio, both very friendly and hospitable. During the 1h drive to Krka national park, Ivan shared a lot of knowledge about the region and surroundings. At Krka NP, we could drive right through because we were a private trip. Walked around the beautiful park and admired the waterfalls, absolutely beautiful. Also some private time for leisure, coffee/snacks and relaxing. Then on to Sibenik, a nice little coastal town with a beautiful centre. Again Ivan shared a lot of its history, then let us stroll around on our own. When it started raining, Ivan and Antonio texted us and picked us up right in front of the restaurant, great service! Then drove us back to Zadar and dropped us off at the hotel. All in all a very relaxed tour, and well worth it!
