Lovely drive from Zagreb to Plitvice National Park

My husband and i only had about 2-3hours to spend at Plitvice National Park so we decided to go by private transfer. Stjepan was our driver for the drive from and to our accommodation in Zagreb. We are very happy with Stjepan’s service. He communicated with us timely before he picked us up, he drove safely and professionally, and cheerfully acceded to our request to extend by another hour when we couldnt get back to our pickup place on time. Stjepan also shared some interesting information and insights about Croatia during our drive. We wish him all the best for the future and especially his upcoming wedding ☺️

Best driver !!!

Stjepan Tunjić was our driver from Plitvice Lakes to busy Zagreb. We have had many private drivers in our three week travels and Stjepan drove safely and competently. The best driver we have had by far !!
