Look for a guide with white ZADAR CITY TOUR umbrella and blue license standing close to the solar panel on the floor.
Description
In these two pearls of the Adriatic you will see a lot of hidden gems you didn't know about before you planned your trip to Croatia. UNESCO heritage is on our route together with some beautiful Dalmatian scenery. Hopefully we will see our very social bird of "noble origin'' called Vlastelica in the royal city of Nin.
The tour is recommended for people who have a bigger interest in cultural heritage and want to hear a more detailed story enriched with more historical and material facts.
We are sightseeing rain or shine no matter what. Dress accordingly, bring an umbrella or a raincoat if needed. The tour includes a short drive to Nin and back again to Zadar.

Flawless Zadar Day Trip with History, Comfort, and Local Tastings
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute Highlight of Our Cruise — Ask for Doria!
If you are stopping in Zadar and want a flawless, stress-free day, book a tour with Doria. She is an exceptional guide who made our time in Croatia absolutely unforgettable.
From start to finish, the logistics were perfect:
* Flawless Communication: The tour was incredibly well-organized. Doria sent extremely clear instructions—including helpful photos—showing exactly where to meet at the port, so we never had to worry about getting lost.
* Top-Notch Comfort: We traveled in a highly comfortable, pristine, air-conditioned vehicle..
* Expert Guiding: Doria is highly organized and speaks fluent, effortless English. She has an impressive, in-depth knowledge of Croatian and Adriatic history, delivering her explanations clearly and engagingly without ever feeling dry.
* Fantastic Personality: Beyond her expertise, Doria is incredibly approachable, warm, and personable. She felt more like a local friend showing us around than a formal guide.
* Exclusive Local Flavors: A massive bonus of our day was the included cheese and liqueur tasting. Doria clearly has fantastic local connections, and we directly benefited from the incredible quality of the artisans she introduced us to.
We cannot recommend Doria highly enough. She gave us a seamless, culturally rich, and delicious day in Zadar!

Do NOT Miss Taking This Gem of a Tour with Darja
Others have said this in their reviews, but we would like to reiterate that Darja's tour Zadar and Nin was simply fantastic. Darja was very friendly and very patient with our group of 6 active seniors. Her information about history, architecture, politics and culture was voluminous. She also spoke of more recent events, including the war for Croatian independence from Yugoslavia. She stuck us as being a warm and beautiful person, inside and out! A delightful tour.

Thank you very much for your nice review.

A day in Zadar from a cruise ship
We had a lovely day with Dorja our guide. She showed us all of Zadars lovely sites, old and new, told us about Zadars chequered past in sufficient detail so we could get a good grasp on how it arrived to the Zadar of today. We then went to Nin a beautiful peaceful little island town with Roman ruins and beautiful interesting historical churches. A great way to spend a day in the port of Zadar, the booking was so easy. Information on pick up at port and return was excellent, this made for a very relaxing, enjoyable day, thank you Dorja and driver!

Fabulous tour of Zadar with excellent guide.
A fabulous tour with Dorja and Marin. Zadar old town was fascinating and Dorja wowed us with her knowledge. Nin was quaint and charming, and again Dorja walked us through with a ton of information. We were an older, slower group - be prepared to be on the go constantly! Again, a great tour and we highly recommend it.
