Good tour in national park
Plitvice Lakes was absolutely stunning! The views were even more beautiful than I expected, and I really enjoyed walking around the lakes and waterfalls. Our guide was very kind and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. I’m so happy that we decided to join this tour. It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience!

Really enjoyed this tour....
I had Mia and Sanja as our guide. Really enjoyed this tour. Just right amount of time at the park, and the perfect way to transport from Zagreb to Split. Especially enjoyed the story and the explanations, on top of the input of the best place to take photo as well.

This is the best way to...
This is the best way to go from Zagreb to Split if you don't drive. Also, the Plitvice lake tour is spectacular, and a must-see. Sonja and Mia were our tour guides; Sonja took care of us from Zagreb to Plitvice lakes, and then we transferred to another bus with Mia on board for the later trip from Plitvice to Split. 4-hour hiking is enough to see the upper and lower lakes. The perfect time to see the lakes is end of September when the weather is not too hot nor too cold, the place is not too crowded. The day we visited the lakes, there were only about 700 visitors, as opposed to 15,000 visitors per day in the summer time. I would recommend anyone visiting Croatia make a trip to the Plitvice lakes.

Transfer from Zagreb to split via plitvik lakes
This was an excellent walking tour through Plitvik lakes. The pace was maintained so that all ability levels were able to enjoy this experience. I found our guides Mia and Sonja very knowledgeable and informative. There was a good mix of information and anecdotes. Their personal experiences gave us an inside view of what the park has meant to them. I would recommend them and this tour.

Beautiful way to travel from Split to Zagreb
A great way to travel from Split to Zagreb instead of flying, with the added bonus of visiting the beautiful Plitvice Lakes National Park. The scenery was stunning — incredible colours in the lakes and beautiful waterfalls throughout the park. There is quite a lot of walking and plenty of stairs, so it’s good exercise, but definitely worth it! Our guides, Mia and Sanja, were excellent — friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole day very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour if you’re travelling between Split and Zagreb and want to see one of Croatia’s most beautiful places along the way.
