We had a lovely 3 hour walking history tour in Zadar, Croatia. Our guide Luca, an art history teacher at a Zadar high school, was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable, charming, and personable. It is quite obvious that she loves her city and enjoys sharing her vast knowledge with visitors. Highly recommend doing this tour with Luca.Wonderful Walking History Tour

Luca was a delightful tour guide. She gave us a great overview of Zadar while sharing stories about her childhood and the local ways of life. We travelled throughout Croatia taking tours in each port and this was our favourite tour. I highly recommend Luca if you are in Zadar looking for a guide who is both warm and knowledgeable.

Wir hatten eine tolle Führung durch Zadar mit eine sehr leckeren Verkostung. Da wir keinen Alkohol trinken, wurde uns spontan und wirklich sehr unkompliziert kroatischer Prosciutto angeboten. Wir haben viel über die Besonderheiten und die Geschichte von Zadar erfahren, konnten individuelle Pausen machen und haben darüber hinaus noch ein paar must-see Spots verraten bekommen. Vielen lieben Dank für die tollen Stunden Anna und FamiliePrivate, individuelle Führung in Zadar

Tanja was a wonderful guide on our walking tour around Zadar. Her English is perfect and she showed us many interesting sights and shared many stories of Zadar past and present as well as stories about life in Croatia. We also got to try some local maraschino liqueur which was delicious. Zadar walking tour with Tanja

We were a party of 9 visiting Zadar for a short break. Participating in a walking tour such as Luca provides is perfect for finding out the history of the place and recommendations for places to visit when in Zadar. Luca is very knowledgeable and can answer any questions re history of Zadar. The tour lasted approximately 2hrs with a tasting of a local spirit towards the end. At the time of booking we also requested a local food and wine tasting at the end of our walk. Luca arranged for this at the Wine Garden in Zadar. Highly recommend visiting this establishment as wines and food local with knowledgeable staff on hand to answer any questions. All in all a great afternoon. Thankyou LucaFriends on Tour
