An amazing journey with even better driver
Plitvice were amazing but the main highlight must have been the driver. He gave us candy, told us about his dog Tesla and was a great company all together Recommend :) (I usually don’t give full stars)

Perfect tour
Beautiful nature, the van was clean and comfy and everyone from the agency were on point. You won't regret booking the tour with this agency on Plitvice lakes.

Enjoy spectacular scenery and lakes
A very pleasant and healthy experience, as we did route C, and we were all morning enjoying the landscape (lakes, waterfalls and groves) very rewarding. And with spectacular weather for more enjoyment.

Great day out
We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip yesterday. Bojan, our guide, was very knowledgeable and made sure that everything ran smoothly, on time and with great enthusiasm. It was a great trip, and wouldn't have been the same if we did it by ourselves compared to through the tour group. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Croatia.

Best trip ever! Tour...
Best trip ever! Tour guide was amazing full of local knowledge which made the journey there super interesting. Managed to complete all 6 lakes with the bus, boat and food. The route was perfect and plenty of time to see each lake. On the return journey additional tips were given for where to eat and what to see which was greatly appreciated. Specific shootout to our guide boron / Goran (couldn't quite remember his name name apologies if we're complete off base) but he really made our trio and it!!!!!!

Must see in Croatia!
I had a great day, the guides were friendly. They let us visit the lake independently. The weather wasn’t necessarily there but it’s worth it, the scenery is beautiful
R
Amazing Day Trip
Goran was an excellent tour guide. On the way to the lakes, he was able to explain the history of Croatia. The lakes and water falls were breath taking and we were lucky that our tour mates were fun people too. It was an amazing day trip and an experience we will not forget.
