Phenomenal views with an amazing guide!

Me and a group of 13 friends went on a tour to Plitvickie lakes, which was stunning! Our tour guide Monika had a great sense of humour and a laidback approach which made us feel relaxed despite the intensity of the tour. She was very hospitable and approachable. I really enjoyed the whole experience 😃

A trip not to be missed

Excellent day out with our guide Bojan. The most beautiful scenic trail and a detailed history of Croatia, the lakes, local knowledge and interesting facts. We cannot rate this trip highly enough.

Amazing. Definitely a must when visiting Zadar.

Absolutely amazing day out. The initial meeting point in Old Town was incredibly easy to find, signposted from the street as In&Out Zadar. Everything was well-timed. Our guide Filip was very knowledgeable, extremely passionate and took the time to speak to everyone individually. The coach journey was fantastic with air conditioning and a stop off break on the way at an amazing cafe in the mountains (around €7 for a hearty baguette sandwich, and a drinks selection). The walk itself was incredibly accommodating, far less strenuous than anticipated since Filip chose the route that was almost entirely downhill or flat. And there was a stop at the cafe around half way where they sold drinks/ food and had water stations to fill up your water bottles. The views are breathtaking. This is definitely an experience to prioritise when visiting Zadar.
