We went to Plitvice Lakes from Split with a transfer to Zagreb. Mia and Sanja were our guides. They were very informative and friendly. We had a lovely day at the park despite the cloudy weather!
We had a wonderful time on this tour. We started in a large group & were then transferred to another guide with a personal tour just the 4 of us once we got to Plitvice National Park. We had Mislav as our guide who tailored the walk to our groups needs. This enabled my 73 year old mum & 76 year old auntie to go at their own pace & enjoy the scenery without worrying about keeping up or inconveniencing others wanting to walk faster. Mislav was so patient, kind & informative. We had the best day!
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing such a lovely review! We’re delighted that Mislav made the experience comfortable and enjoyable for your family, adapting the tour to everyone’s pace. We’re especially happy to hear you had such a wonderful day at Plitvice! Tours in Croatia
The Lakes were lovely .However, our group was too large for one tour guide… many couldn’t hear the information. All restaurants were closed so we were unable to buy any food or drinks. Take your own!! Transfer worked well.
Hello, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful lakes and that the transfers worked smoothly. We also appreciate your comments regarding group size and the availability of food and drinks, and we will take this into consideration to improve the experience for future guests. We hope to welcome you again for an even better tour! Kind regards,
Our tour guide Barry was the absolute highlight- well informed, educating but very entertaining along the way. He made the trip just fantastic, despite the rain!

This transfer is very well run and designed to maximize your time at Plitvice. I traveled on Monday (June 1) and the group size was relatively small compared to the weekends, according to the guides. They can have as many as 80 people on this tour in a single day. Plitvice is very popular so you need to prepare yourself to be walking with a lot of people. It’s not the optimal way to experience this beautiful park but if you need a transfer to Zagreb, it’s a decent option. The bus was very comfortable. Guides and driver very professional.

A fantastic way to see more of Croatia while travelling between cities!

We stayed in Split and were looking for an easy way to get to Zagreb while visiting Plitvice National Park along the way. This guided tour was absolutely perfect! Our guides, Mia and Sonya, were fantastic—knowledgeable, organized, and full of fascinating history about the park. They kept the group together, ensured no one got lost, and made the journey smooth from start to finish. Plitvice itself was breathtaking. The lakes glistened in shades of turquoise, emerald, and blue—each stop more beautiful than the last. The highlight was the waterfall, one of the tallest in Croatia, cascading powerfully into the lower lakes. The scenery looked like something out of a fairy tale. The entire experience was seamless, ending with a comfortable transfer to Zagreb. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to combine effortless travel with one of Croatia’s most stunning natural wonders.

Great tour guide Tanjya and driver Drako. Lovely and funny tour guides. This tour also included transfers back to Zagreb and visa versa. A great way to see 3 attractions in one trip. The other guide and driver did a great job also teaming up to control 60 wandering kittens. Lovey and informative tour guides plenty of time to reviver and take in the views. Really suggest utilising the transfer option. To swap towns. Great concept. Didn’t know the option was there or would have done it. A fantastic and beautiful day. Although quite demanding. 👍👍👍
Dear Guest, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're also glad you appreciated the transfer option between cities. Safe travels, Tours in Croatia
Visit the Plitvice lakes with guides Mia and Sanja. They speak very well in English. We had fun visiting this park with our teenagers aged 14 and 16. We opted for this tour because we had the transfer from Split to Zagreb. It’s a must to visit the Plitvice lakes even if it’s very busy (and it was apparently very quiet...). Not much time to settle down and enjoy the magnificent views, but that’s how it is. Thank you to our guides for their very good support. I recommend. Ah yes, provide cash to pay for access to the park. We weren't warned.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed visiting Plitvice Lakes with Mia and Sanja and that the transfer between Split and Zagreb worked well for your family.
