GREAT experience with Croatia Private Tours!

I used Croatia Private Tours to book several private transfers and tours including this one. We also did the private transfer from Dubrovnik to Split via Mostar, the private boat tour from Split to several islands and a day trip from Split to Brac. All of our experiences were superb! Hrvoje from Croatia Private Tours was amazing and his communication was top notch. He always reached out a couple of days before the tour to confirm the details and give us the direct number for the driver in case we needed to contact them. The driver also usually contacted us directly the day before the transfer to reconfirm the details. All of the drivers and guides he booked for us were friendly, professional, and prompt. We never had to wait or worry if they were going to show up which allowed us to really enjoy our vacation. The cars were nice and well-maintained and our guides in Mostar and Plitvice Lakes were very knowledgeable and engaging. Our private boat tour was one of the highlights of our trip and the boat was gorgeous (we upgraded to the "luxury" boat) and the crew was very friendly. This company is very honest and reliable and I would definitely use them again.

Great ride, great driver

My wife and I took a day trip from Split to Zagreb, with a pit-stop at a national park. The vehicle was new and very comfortable. Our driver, Ivan, was also great. He was very professional, and took really good care of us. He made us feel very comfortable and safe. He was a skilled driver and a thoughtful host. I really enjoyed how knowledgeable he was about Croatia, and we learned a lot from him as we drove. In the middle of our trip we realized my wife and I made a potentially costly mistake in our travel plans, and Ivan went above and beyond to smooth it out and make sure we were all good. He took the best care of us and I highly recommend him.

Beautiful, memorable and fun experience

We very much enjoyed our trip from Split to Zagreb with a stop at Plitvice Lakes National Park. Croatia Private Tours is a highly professional company, from booking through to completion of journey. Our driver Drazen was fantastic — he is incredibly knowledgeable about the region past and present, has excellent people skills and a great sense of humour. He provides a truly “value-added” experience. We were also very happy with our local guide Michael at Plitvice Lakes. He made sure we saw all key areas of this beautiful park and provided lots of interesting information along the way. We highly recommend this experience!

Private Transfer from Split to Zagreb via Plitvice National Park

This trip was divided into 2 parts with 2 separate drivers. Marin drove the first leg of the trip taking us to Plitvice Lakes National Park. He introduced us to our personal guide, Domenic. While we in the park he transferred our belongings to Alexander who drove us to Zagreb. Alexander pointed out buildings as we arrived in Zagreb and air dropped a list of restaurants in the city.

Superb private trip from Split to Zagreb - door to door luxury !

I had the joy of dealing with Hrvoje right from our initial emails to having him drive us from Split to Zagreb . He was so prompt in replying to my requests and an excellent professional man who made everything very comfortable for us . I was with my 70 year old mother and they changed the timings according to what we wanted . We then met Katalina in Plitvice park and she was excellent and very entertaining and enthusiastic with showing us around and changing the pace of the walks / climbing . We reached our hotel in Zagreb on Time to check in and I am waiting to come back and book more tours with you guys. Thank you so much .

Airport / lakes and winery

We used this company for our airport transfers and a private tour of the lakes and then a trip to a local winery. They organised everything and made the trip to match our group needs. It took the stress out of everything. This is probably one of the best tour companies I have ever used, very clear communication and competitive price. Our driver was brilliant, so helpful and accommodating and very knowledgeable about the area and made our trip that extra special. Thank you

A must in Croatia

Even though it was raining, Plitvice Lakes is not to be missed! We had a wonderful driver, Ante, and a great guide once we were in the park. Our guide led us through both the upper and lower lakes and provided valuable information along the way.
