It was our first time visiting Zadar, and we were the first set of tourists for this tour in March in the year. The tour guide, whose name we unfortunately forgot but we believe he was the owner of the company, was excellent. He shared many fascinating insights about the history of Zadar. We highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting the city!
