We had a great time and our tour guide Dario was the best! Friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable, Dario showed us all the sites of old town, the city centre plus a few extra places we were interested in. We were able to hop on and off to take photos and even buy some local produce. We highly recommend this tour. This tour is fun for young and old and accommodates plus size, heavier crowd too. The vehicles are so strong/ sturdy, better in real life than the photos. We are 4 plus sized adults and we had so much space and comfort. Dario was such a good driver, speaks fluent English and Croatian and even told us about the best eateries in town, the ones where locals eat. He told some jokes and was a great driver and host. As soon as you get to Zadar, book this tour first before you do any other activities as you will get a great introductory experience of the town, then go back and enjoy the places you liked most. Ask for Dario. Only downside was they were a little late (30 minutes) but it was well communicated in advance, so we were happy with that. 10/10 would do this again. Wish every city had this.The tuk tuk tour was great! We had a guide that showed us very interesting parts of corfu and we drove along the coast the whole tour. Definitely would recommend this to family, friends and anyone travelling to Zadar!
