One of the most challenging things to do in an ancient city is envision it as it was. Zadar is no exception, and on our first evening, it felt as if we were walking through a living museum without any understanding of the history of Zadar. We had our travel guides, but they were missing valuable context that you can only get through a tour. Dorja led us through the entire old town, pointing out both the Roman and Venetian influences over present-day Zadar. Through her excellent style of communication and deep knowledge of Zadar, it was easy to imagine ancient Zadar. The city took on a completely different personality when Dorja talked about it. Dorja told us at the beginning of the tour that there was a lot to cover and she wanted to cover everything. (She also asked us for input, but we didn't know where to start, so we let her lead the way - which is the best way to approach a tour - in my option.) She took us in churches (that weren't covered in our guidebooks), showed us ancient sites (that weren't covered in our guidebooks), and candidly shared more about the history of Zadar and how it has influenced the present. I found Dorja's direct candor very refreshing, and I appreciate all of the recommendations that she was willing to make for the rest of our trip. She is truly an outstanding guide, and this is a great tour to book to learn more about Zadar and experience more than the beautiful sunsets.

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!

We shared a wonderful day with our skipper Daniel Going to the Kornati islands by sailing boat is so much better than fast boat because : . the group is max 7 people . the trip is wild and authentic, perfect to enjoy the sea and the nature (we weren’t lucky with the wind so we had mainly to use the engine but it was pleasant as well) . there is a stop to swim and you can really enjoy without being surrounded by other tourists We definitively recommend the activity as well as this company (good boats and serious skippers)
