Great time in Plitvice
Ivan was a terrific guide from beginning to end. I felt like I learned a lot about Croatian history during the drive to and from Plitvice. A worthwhile adventure and one I would definitely do again.

Description
Plitvice Lakes are a full day tour but be sure that they are the most beautiful thing in Croatia. We have 8 national parks and this is the only one protected by the UNESCO. We always like to point out that it is not a „picnic destination“ – we are not in a single spot, we are constantly walking (at least 6 km) and exploring many small and big waterfalls. After the tour we can make a stop in one of the local restaurants in the area. Contact us and let’s have a nice day together :)

Ivan as guide to Plitvice
Our guide, Ivan, was great . He provided lots of information about the region during our ride to and from Plitvice. His English was excellent. He was wonderful guide and pointed out tips to us. He offered accommodations whenever we would need. He encouraged us to enjoy our and not to rush He was a great conversationalist and we had a wonderful time

A full day of travel experience from Split
Leaving from Split means a 2 1/2 to 3 hr hour ride to and from Split. It is important to leave Split very early to get in front of the crowds since you will be walking on boardwalks and moving by ferries to go between the lower and upper falls. The lines can be long. Plan on lots of steps and walking. We walked 20,000 steps. A better plan would to fly into the capitol of Croatia and drive down to Split, stopping at the Lakes on the way.

Great tour of Plitvice Lakes!!!
Ivan was a tremendously friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Plitvice Lakes was an extraordinary place, and it helped to have such an experienced guide show us the way.

Wonderful experience
What a beautiful area to explore. Good exercise too! Andrea was a wonderful driver and guide. We had just the right amount of time with him and then the last portion of the hike we were on our own and met him to drive back Great conversations in the car about Croatia customs and life.

Plitvice Lakes National Park day tour
We had the great pleasure of being guided by Andrej on a Plitvice Lakes National Park day tour. We had an amazing day in this oasis. Andrej was very knowledgeable, interesting and a real treat to share the day with. My mum recently had a hip replacement, and Andrej helped manage the day so that she would not be uncomfortable. It ended up raining in the afternoon, but this didn’t dampen the experience. Thanks to Andrej for making it a great day out!

Driver/Guide struggled with both.
Driver/guide was a very poor driver. He seemed tired and veered out of lane many times. We felt uncomfortable the whole drive. Once we got to park, he struggled to come up with a plan that matched our schedule and fitness level. The park was amazing though.
Operator response
Hello Martin, thank you for your review although it is a negative one. We are sorry that you did not enjoy on this trip and hope that in the future you will only have good experiences. You complain about 2 things, driving and the route in the park. 1. Guide who went with you is our top guide who did the tour many times and always gets great reviews, no one ever commented badly about his driving skills or about his people skills. Also, both the highway and area near Plitvice Lakes are literally covered with cameras (or police) to prevent speeding so I assure you he was not speeding. 2. About the route in the park, you took the easiest and shortest possible route. Even after the tour guide picked you up with a van inside of the park so that you don't have to walk more and that is usually not allowed for agency vehicles. Maybe I would recommend that in the future you read emails that the agencies send you, because immediatelly after you booked the tour we sent you an email saying that there is some walking in this park. Also, maybe in the future try not to change the number of passengers or starting time of the tour several times before the tour because it can be a problem to organise a vehicle and entrance tickets. Thank you and have a nice day, Roko Munitić

Plitvice Lakes Private tour
Amazing experience at the Plitvice Lakes, incredible views, the color of the water, peaceful place. My private tour with Tiho was very knowledgeable, he was very kind, respectful and fun. I will recommend to do a private tour because there was crowded so if you like conform and wants to save time and know more the park it’s a better option. Thanks
