Plitvice National park tour
The tour was very well organized so we could see the whole park. The bus was very comfortable and our guide, Mia was friendly and communicated well with the group.

Beautiful Park
The park is beautiful and our guide Barry was awesome very informative and knowledgeable! He had a good pace walking through the park. My reason for 4 stars vs 5 is that there was just to many in the group - it was hard to take in the beauty when you are trying to maneuver around other people, also we didn’t go closer to the lower waterfalls. I wanted to also walk along that boardwalk but people in the group complained about the walking (which like hello read what the plan is - you are walking around a national park there is going to be up hills and distance to cover) so I’m sure they would have had words about more walking to the lower lakes board walk. A smaller more experienced walking group is what we should have done. Overall though the park was beautiful and I enjoyed the experience.

Magnificent site.
Very beautiful site, a must-see. Our guide Mia was very pleasant and smiling. We regretted not having the time to go down to the foot of the largest waterfall. It would be good to add an option for people in good physical condition who can walk faster and complete a full tour without difficulty. Signed JC Vandamme and his wife 😊

Amazing Lakes
Even though this was a long day the bus trip went quickly it was definitely worth it, the lakes and walks ways were amazing
D
Worthwhile long day?
Long bus ride, picturesque park with beautiful views, crowded with many congested areas. Guide well-intentioned but didn’t provide any information about the area and its sites during actual time in the park. Timing for planned “lunch” made no sense. Enjoyed the day overall as our one opportunity to explore Croatia beyond the Dalmatian Coast.
