Great private tour - We missed our group tour we'd signed up for, and couldn't find another group in the limited time left in our trip. So it was a great to be able to book a private tour at a time of our choice. This proved to be a perfect way to see and learn more about the Old Town, how the locals live, and history of the area. Jadranka was very knowledgable and a pleasure to spend a couple of hours with. For the price, I'd choose this sort of experience over a group tour any day.
