Worth it

Our guide Antonio isn’t excellent. She’s so cheerful and helpful and caring. Always make sure everyone is fine and understood well.

Great tour

We really enjoyed this tour, good value for money and professionally run. Our guide Luka was excellent. He gave an interesting commentary on the way to the lakes and gave clear instructions on which route to take and where the group should meet.

Nice trip

Our guide Luka is nice. He would explain some of the history behind the scenery on the bus on the way to the national park. Even though we did not follow the guided tour, he would make sure all the information is given to us through WhatsApp, to make sure we don’t get lost. The trail is nice to walk, good for beginners.

Worth a visit!

Amazing day at Plitvice Lakes. It was such a well organised day and we had plenty of time to explore without feeling rushed. We booked the self-guided tour but Luka was incredibly helpful throughout the day, providing clear instructions and shared so much information on the way there. Thank you Luka and team, you made it a great experience!

A tour for those who don’t like tours

This is an excellent way to see the park from Split if you are not into tours (as you can walk at your own pace). For the parts when you need one, Luka was a fantastic guide! He was so knowledgeable and helpful. He did a great job “herding cats”. 😉 Definitely worth visiting the park and overall a good value for the money!

Well planned and guided tour from the beginning until the end.

We had a great time at the beautiful national park. The tour was well planned and our tourguide Lovro made sure we had a great time there providing us with all the information we should know about the park.
