Not satisfied

Very poor communication between Exploro and the busdriver. It took 6 hours back and forth to travel to destination but we got to stay there for just 4 hours. The driver had rush to get back home. Not at all worth for the money spent. Bus had poor aircondition and loud disco Music all the time. Not a guest friendly busdriver.

Plitvice - A Must See! INCREDIBLE!

This was the only trip I could find to visit Plitvice from Markaska and I was so pleased as I really didn't want to visit Croatia and miss the park! The trip was essentially a taxi ride there and back, however, the vehicle (Mercedes van) was extremely comfortable and well air conditioned. Therefore, my husband and I had one row of seats and the other party had the other row. Took about 2.5/3 hours each way to get there from our hotel. We did only have about 4 hours in the park itself, but we felt this gave us plenty of time to see the park, managing to the medium length route, which included all the ferry rides. We did have to be conscious of time, so it meant not staying too long at each scenic spot, but we did have time to take plenty of pictures and grab an ice cream. The park itself is incredible and is not to be missed when travelling to Croatia. F or that reason I was 100% recommend this trip if you're staying in Markaska!
