We wish we had done this tour in the first day of our stay in Zadar. Sime (Simon)is a local and gave us a fantastic story and history of this fascinating and mainly beautiful place. From its Illyrian roots ,the Roman remains and through history to the scars of WW2 and recent war in 1991 and the impact of this on Zadar and its architecture. You get the feeling that Old Zadar is for the locals,lived in by the locals and has not sold its soul like other Adriatic cities. There are brutalist buildings stood next to Roman remains but you have an understanding why this is but this is the beauty of Zadar today.

Really good day out on the boat. The whole experience was great, from the simple but delicious lunch to the excellent guide and his guitar. This was all helped by copious amounts of wine. Great value for money and an unforgettable experience.

This was a great activity for the family - something different.  We enjoyed rowing out to Zlarin and swimming.  It was really fun and we recommend it, but just a few pointers: the pizzeria in Zlarin does not start serving until 13:00, and they did not tell us that our orders would then be behind all the take-away orders.  So, eat lunch at the fast food place instead.  Second, the wind picks up in the afternoon so the paddle back is harder.  There was some confusion as to whether the tour included Saint Nicolas fortress.  But overall, it was really fun for the family.
