Great day out to the beautiful Plitvice Lakes with excellent guides Mia and Sanja. I learnt a lot about the National Park from their very friendly and informative dialogue as we walked round. Good value and a memorable experience 😀

This was a great way to see another part of Croatia while in the Split area. The lakes and waterfalls were beautiful and we found the hike to be very pleasant. Our guide, Mia, kept us moving along without being rushed and ensured we saw everything.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re happy you enjoyed discovering another beautiful part of Croatia and found the hike through the lakes and waterfalls so pleasant. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Mia! Tours in Croatia
It was a lovely tour, be prepared for a lot of driving, 3-31/2 hours each way. Would have loved free time once there as had a large group 46 people & felt that quite a few people really slowed up group. If aren’t able to do moderate walking this tour is not for you. Long lines to get on train, used up valuable time. What we did see was truly magnificent. Would have loved more time to do walk around Entrance 1. Tour leader great.

Natural beauty everywhere and plenty to see. Everything is very well secured and organized. The paths follow the winding current of the streams. Incredible plant diversity. Probably the most beautiful discovery of our trip. Gratitude.

Excellent guide and bus driver. Despite some rain the scenery in the Plitvice park was stunning. The bus was comfortable. Half way we made a stop at a gas station where we could buy some coffee and other things.

I booked this trip to Plitvice lakes from Split. It is well worth booking this trip. There are walkways throughout the area, and we had guides throughout the experience, showing us the important sights in the area. The area is beautiful and well worth experiencing. The guides were friendly and approachable. While I left and came back from Trogir on the bus from Split, I found that there was an equivalent tour from Zagreb, and you can use this trip to travel from Split to Zagreb and vice versa. I think this is a really nice facility on this tour. A few travellers took advantage of that service on that trip, and the guides were well organised in ensuring that everyone got on the correct bus at the end of the tour.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed Plitvice Lakes and found our guides friendly and well-organized. We're also glad you appreciated the transfer option between Split and Zagreb. Safe travels, Tours in Croatia
The park has beautiful views of the waterfalls. For those who have the Iguacu Falls, everything is very small. But the color of the water, between green and blue, is beautiful. The tour was very well organized by the guide Mia. Departure from Split is 4 hours by bus to go, 4 hours to walk and 4 hours to return.

This UNESCO National Park is stunning. Every view is picture perfect. The walk through the park viewing lakes and so many waterfalls was a real joy.

Had booked the tour at short notice. Booking process and pick-up worked very well. The journey was long, the bus comfortable. From the guide we also received interesting information and tips for other excursions along the way. The park visit with access at the upper lakes and end at the lower exit was perfectly planned. Bottom line, a successful day. Only why we had to take our passports remains unclear.

Bus was very small and every seat was full. Then bus broke down five minutes out of Trogir. Instead of returning to Trogir we waited an hour and a half on the side of the road for a replacement bus. No A/c and not really a safe place to stop. The guide kept saying the new bus was 10 minutes away but it took a full hour and a half. People had to go to the bathroom behind trees. When replacement bus finally came I had had enough and got a ride back to Trogir in the broken bus. If the bus was driveable why didn’t they take us somewhere safe to wait? Or at least give us some AC. (Bus windows didn’t open and it got very hot inside quickly )Very poor communication and no trust in the driver or the guide. Company refused to refund money and the women in the office was quite rude. Bad experience all the way around. Accidents and breakdowns happen I know but this one was handled terribly.
