Mirko was a great guide. Very informative , friendly and tailored experience to our needs and wants.
Thank you very much Ronda for everything! I am very glad you liked the tour, Krka falls and Sibenik. It was my pleasure meeting you and your friends and family. I enjoyed a lot chatting with you and sharing our stories with a nice breeze and a cocktail. (Not me, I was driving :) ) Hope to see you again soon in Croatia or in Houston! :)
Krka Waterfalls are absolutely beautiful! We ended up having a private tour based on or group size (6). Our guide, Mirko, was the best guide of all our tours during our vacation. He treated us like close friends. He was very knowledgeable of the park, took us on a leisurely stroll and pointed us to the best spots for photos. We then took a boat ride to town where he recommended we sample the local cake - yum! Mirko joined us for coffee and cake, drove us around Šibenik and gave us some advice for meandering on our own and how to get back to our ship. it was an absolutely wonderful afternoon. The town was immaculate, safe and clean. We did some shopping and grabbed a gelato and a baklava before heading back to the ship. Do not miss this tour if you are in the area. Thank you Mirko! You made our vacation.
Thank you Melissa! It was my pleasure meeting you and your friends today and spending a great day together. I am very glad you liked the tour, our town and the cake : ) And thank you very, very much for such a detailed and a great review. We appreciate it very much. Big hug from Sibenik!
We opted to change our tour from Krka to walking the historic center of Sibenik. We changed since we had visited Plitvice National Park the day prior. Mirko our guide was very understanding and accommodating. It was a beautiful day with Mirko as he shared his knowledge and love of Sibenik. We had wonderful stops along the way visiting the truffle store and cafes where we enjoyed the local wines and specialties of the area. Thanks again Mirko for the most beautiful day!
Thank you very much Tamra. It was a great pleasure meeting you and spending a nice day together. I am very glad you had a great time in Croatia and that you liked our town. And thanks for sharing your stories with me :)

Thank you very much Jodi. We are very glad you had a great time with our guide and that you liked the park and the boat ride :) Enjoy the rest of your cruise!
Beautiful park and excellent tour guide Mirko! Mirko had an abundance of local culture and history to share with us and took us to an authentic local Croatian restaurant.
Thank you very much Joseph. We are very glad you liked our guide, the park and the food :) Enjoy the rest of your cruise!
My husband and I were visiting Sibenik for the first time and the falls are a must see. Mirko was extremely knowledgeable about the tour and about Croatia entirely. We had interesting conversation with him all day during our excursion. He was very attentive to our needs and offered excellent recommendations about future travels within the country. I would highly recommend this tour and look forward to our next opportunity to spend the day with Mirko!
Thank you Kelcey! I had such a wonderful time with you and Derrek. Thank you very much for everything. Looking forward to seeing you again in Croatia, or even in Phoenix :) Enjoy the rest of your stay in Zagreb. Big hug!
Great experience, personally tailored to our needs/requirements and back up plan in place to deal with inclement weather for part of the tour. Our tour guide Veronica was incredible. She has a wealth of knowledge and expert English. Our driver was excellent too.
Nice vehicle for the fairly short drive to the oark. The falls are beautiful and the walk through the patk is east, thanks to the boardwalk. While not an exceptional day it was wuite calming and enjoyable. I suspect this one could be done without a guide if you desired.
We enjoyed an excellent day visiting Krka National Park with a wonderful and solicitous guide and driver Mirko. Our excursion was a day trip from a cruise ship anchored in Šibenik Croatia. Mirko was very knowledgeable about the natural wonders in the park. We began with a short walk down the river to view a series of crystal clear cascades. Then we continued with a loop hike on an elevated boardwalk that allows you to see a lot of small waterfalls, a beautiful forest, aquatic birds, and a surprise sighting (out of season) of a snake. The grand finale was a large wide waterfall that flows into a crystal clear pool. Then we stopped for a little lunch, and Mirko escorted us to a small excursion boat that continues down the river to the next town. While we were doing that, Mirko hiked back to the car and drove around to meet us at the end of the boat excursion. My husband walks slowly, and Mirko was extremely helpful to him in allowing him to complete the hike. He actually spent close to a full day with us rather than just a half-day. It was an excellent experience all the way around, and I would highly recommend it instead of doing a group excursion to this place.
