Dorja kept us moving. We covered lots of ground and time periods. Got a taste of cherry liqueur and local sheep milk cheese. She answered all our questions and added personal interesting stories about her grandparents who were local.
Thank you very much.

Great overview of the history of Zadar from our guide whose family lived it. Beautiful walk and insight on the city, culture, shopping and food. Just the right amount of time.
Thank you.
We had such a good time on this tour - learning about history, seeing Roman artifacts, tasting maraschino liquor, and watching the sunset at the Sea Organ and Salutation to the Sun. Our guide was well-informed, engaging, and fun. We highly recommend this tour!
Thank you very much.
Dorja was very organized and helpful, and wrote to confirm whether I needed transportation to Old Town. That prompted me to confirm where my ship was docking, and I did in fact need transportation! She provided very clear instructions where and when to meet the driver. As the tour guide, she provided an excellent overview of the history of the old town and got us back to the ship on time! We got to sample some local maraska (cherry liquor) and some sheep cheese, both of which we delicious.
Thank you very much.

Our walking tour with Dorja was fantastic! She guided us to all the sites and loved to share the history of her city. The tastings were a special treat. If in Zadar book a tour with Dorja!
Thank you very much I appreciate it.
The Zadar City Walking Tour began by the Sea Organ and we worked our way to the other end of town. Our tour guide told us about the history of Zadar and described the sites. Interesting input as she grew up in Zadar and offered personal insights. Also had a couple of surprise stops on the way.
Thank you.
