Due to corona cancelations my girlfriend and I were the only ones on the kayak tour, so we had private trip together with Marko. In the 4 hours we visited old gun emplacements and military tunnels from the cold war and a lonely beach, where we had a great swim. Marko even supplied us with fresh coffee from the mokka and homey he made himself! The only downside is the long ferry ride home, but at least you see plenty of the coast line on the way back to zadar while you drink a beer or two.

I'm so glad I chose to go with Octopus Transfers, as this was door to door top notch service from beginning to end! From my first email to Michael, to our final airport drop off, this couldn't have gone any smoother! We were promptly greeted at the arrivals terminal at the Dubrovnik Airport by our guide/driver Bojan. From the moment we met up with him, we knew we were in good hands. He welcomed us as if we were already part of his family, and made everyone feel comfortable very quickly. Day 1 was a simple airport transfer to our airbnb in Dubrovnik, which was on time, and a very clean vehicle. We were then glad the next day to see Bojan again, but this time, a 4 hours round trip transfers to Trebinje in Bosnia. Once again, we had a fantastic time with him, as he was so professional, friendly, and always on time. On our last day in Dubrovnik, our last service was a one way transfer to Split, where we spent a few hours wondering around, and then Bojan dropped us off at the airport. We had such a wonderful time with Bojan and Octopus Transfers, and can't recommend these guys enough. Bojan totally went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time ever, while driving very safely, and with great commentary on his beloved country of Croatia! I can't wait to comeback again, and have "Jason Statham's stunt double show us around this beautiful part of the World! Cheers brother!

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

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.

We were very happy that we were able to do a tour to the plitvice lakes in corona times. The company offered us a private tour (for a slightly higher price), and the driver, Darko, picked us up at our hotel. Darko is a wonderful guide, thanks to his knowledge about the country, which extends to culture, history and even philosophy. We enjoyed interesting conversations with him in the car. When we had seen the plitvice park, we only had to call him and he picked us up again within 5 minutes!

Yesterday my husband Jeff & I along with our 10yr old son Finn had the pleasure of spending the day with William exploring Zadar and surrounding small towns. From the moment I booked the tour based on his high TripAdvisor reviews I knew we made the right choice. He was courteous and always in communication about what we were going to do. He promptly picked us up at the cruise terminal and had a nice new clean car! We requested to go see Krka National Park and then some sight seeing in Zadar The park was spectacular and everything I thought it was going to be. I use a wheelchair to get around as I have a rare muscle condition. You are able to use a wheelchair along the wooden pathways around the falls but I would suggest if your unable to transfer or walk a little this might not be the tour to do as there are places it's difficult. We ended up getting to the bottom where the falls are and did some swimming which was the highlight of the day. After we realized it would be too difficult to push the wheelchair back up hill so we asked William if he could meet us at the town of Skradin and we took a boat ride down there which was easier to do and what a special treat as there are wild trumpeter swans swimming everywhere. It was like a fairytale! William then prebooked a lunch for us at Rosa which is a quaint little house/orchard filled with olive trees, vineyard and fig trees. My son loved picking a grape right off the vine and eating his first fresh fig also from the tree. The day ended with a few more stops of extremely beautiful vistas and a stop in old Town Zadar. I would highly recommend this tour. William is kind and full of great information. We will book with him again next time we are in Croatia. One thing I would like to add: make sure you bring cash in Kunas or Euros. The lunch stop cost us about $100 for three of us. Then you will need to pay for the Krka park entrance which is another $25pp ( eat). These stops are not included in the tour prices. Enjoy! The Everts Bonita Springs, FL
