A fascinating walk through Zadar’s past - My walking tour of Zadar was engaging from start to finish. Melina brought the old town to life with interesting stories, local insights, and stops at key landmarks I would have easily missed on my own. A perfect way to understand the city while enjoying a relaxed stroll through its historic streets.

Great value walking tour - A very knowledgeable guide took us through the hidden gems of Zadar old town history. There was so much to see and learn from her local knowledge that would never have been experienced by casually wandering the streets Very enjoyable and recommended
