Evening tour of Zadar with Ante 🌅

The free evening tour of Zadar with Ante! Absolutely 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I have a new respect, understanding and appreciation of Zadar…to be fair of Croatia as a whole but specially on this tour the passion and knowledge and personal history Ante gave us was exceptional. I 100% recommend this tour for some genuinely real insight from someone who has deep roots embedded in Zadar throughout generations… I’ve learnt a lot and I’m so grateful I went on this tour. Ante you are such a good guy and your experience and knowledge is so valuable…thank you for sharing ☺️🌟🤩

Amazing trip to the lakes

Fabulous trip. Stunning lakes true to the pictures- no filters! A highlight of our trip to Croatia! Our guide, Bojan, was superb- friendly and full of interesting facts coupled with a great sense of humour. A must day out of the very touristy Zadar!

Stunning views. Excellent tour

Bojan was our tour guide, very charismatic, engaging with great humour and knowledge. Fantastic communication and organisation from start to finish so we knew meeting points and times. An interesting and knowledgeable look into the history of Croatia on the way in the coach…then a stop off for breakfast and toilet break before reaching Plitvice. The lakes and waterfalls are absolutely stunning…and we started are walk at the highest point so that most of the walk was downhill and we got to save the best and biggest waterfall till last…all of it though was breath taking. Absolutely highly recommend this tour…definitely a highlight of our trip to Zadar…Croatia is such a beautiful place! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤩

Plitvice with Monika

If this is your first time to Plitvice then this is the perfect tour. Our guide Monika was so knowledgeable, we learned a lot about the flora and fauna of the area. She was really professional, helpful and fun too. I was so glad we had a guide as Monika optimised our time there meaning we didn’t have the stress of figuring out our own route. We went for the small group trip which was worth the extra as it included hotel pick ups and drop offs and being in a smaller group made the trip more enjoyable.
