Come with me on special day and explore Zadar with uniqe Sea Organ, visit local family Roca and taste local food and wine A historic old town of Roman ruins, medieval churches, cosmopolitan cafes and quality museums set on a small peninsula, Zadar is an intriguing city. It's not too crowded, it's not overrun with tourists and has two unique attractions - the sound-and-light spectacle of the Sea Organ and the Sun Salutation - need to be seen and heard to be believed. The mix of ancient relics, Habsburg elegance, coastal setting and unsightly tower blocks is what gives Zadar so much character. And I will make sure I will show you just that. It's no Dubrovnik, but it's not a museum town either - this is a living, vibrant city, enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. I am sure you would like some time on your own - free time 1h in Old Town Zadar After walking tour, a 40 min drive to Authentic Local Family Lunch "Roca". Enjoy! The Sea Organ, a set of marble steps that uses sea water

Inclusions: Round-trip private transfer, Driver/ Guide, All activities, Transport by private vehicle, Fuel surcharge, All taxes, fees and handling charges, Airport/Departure Tax, Hotel pickup and drop-off

Exclusions: Roca Family Konoba You can pay directly there.

Nicolas, Adrijana and Bruno make an exceptional team to book your adventure tours through. I rented a road bike from zzuum for a few days and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Nicolas recommended bike tours for me based on the elevations and distances that I wanted to cover and even made the GPS maps for me. (I would highly recommend the Ugljan and Pasman islands tour, make sure to check out the beaches just south of Tkon!). The team made sure that the bike fit me properly and that I had everything I needed to set out on my tours. They respond quickly and are very accommodating to make sure you get the most out of your vacation. I will definitely book with zzuum again next time I'm in Zadar!

This was our first sup experience. Luckily Fabe is a very funny and nice guy, he teached us every detail about how to feel balanced on the board and in a few minutes we were paddling toward the sunset. A sunset in zadar is something very exciting, even more doing sup on the calm and transparent water of the Croatian sea.
