Beautiful hiking location
A beautiful day to plitvice lakes. We had a great hike around the lakes. Our guides Mia and Sanja were excellent and provided great information and kept the group on schedule. Our driver Drago did a good job getting us there and back safely. The hiking is fairly easy and thankfully the park was not too crowded in late Sept. Restaurant had plenty of choices for grabbing a quick bite. The pick up was a little confusing because our voucher had the wrong address on it so we couldn’t find the right group.

Amazing!
I really appreciated the ability to do the tour without the formal guided experience. Our guides, Mia and Sanja, were super accommodating and allowed us to experience the park safely and confidently. They helped us understand where to go, and had very fun personalities that kept the long bus ride enjoyable. Would recommend!

Viator booking of Plitvice Notional Park
Mia and Sonja were excellent! Having 2 guides really complimented the trip. They were funny, kind, and educated! We learned so much about your beautiful country of Croatia, Plitvice National Park and the cultures of your beautiful country! We are so glad we took this trip. We were a bit hesitant to take such a long tour the day after we flew in but have no regrets! Her emphasis on safety of the group was definitely a priority. They left us with a desire to come back!!! Thank you! (And Mia has a beautiful singing voice! (Private joke). Thank you!

Plitvice Lakes worth seeing
Beautiful national park. Many waterfalls and lakes with clear water. Lovely green color. Our guides Mia and Sonja were great. Mia was incredibly knowledgeable about Croatia geography, geology and history. I would love to go with her again.

Mire Beautiful Kaikki hyvin
Mia Kemi kaluar nje dite shume te mire dhe vendi ishte shume i mrekudheshem liqenet ishin te bukura do doja te shkoje edhe nje here te shetise atje.
Falemimderit shume per ndihmen qe na dhate.
Today we had an excursion to the Plitvite Lakes with guide Mia, we advise you this excursion, which is absolutely beautiful, but you need to be in good shape, as the pace of walking is fast, top down the slides and stairs, Mia was very careful to make sure that no one fell behind, that we all stayed in the group and always counted us, which is very important and nice, also thank you for your help and concern for us, if you are pregnant on this excursion, we advise you to inform the guide, Mia told us the easier way in the middle of the journey, that my pregnant wife was easier and not in bad shape, the rest of the way Mia asked for my wife's condition, after she was in bad shape in the middle of the journey, thank you for the excursion and the beautiful guide Mia.
Kiitos paljon tästä mahtavasta retkestä Mialle, Mia oli aina lähellä ja apuna, Mia huolehti tosi hyvin hänen ryhmästä, koko ajan tarkisti ja laski, että kaikki on paikalla ja ettei kukaan jää yksin perälle, hän myös auttoi meitä ja suositteli meille helpompaa reittiä keskivaiheessa, koska vaimoni on raskaana ja hänelle tuli huono olo, suosittelemme hyvää fyysistä kuntoa, koska kävelyn tahti on reipas, on ylä ja ala mäkiä ja portaita ylös ja alas, erilainen maaperä, josmenet raskaana tälle retkelle, suosittelemme sanomaan tästä asiasta ryhmän ylläjälle, niin hän osaa neuvoa sinun voimien mukaan reittiä. Kiitos!

It’s a long day but so...
It’s a long day but so worth it! The lakes are pristine and beautiful. Ivanka was a fabulous guide and the most helpful genuine person. Micky the driver had the best song playlist of any tour we have ever done. Great day.
