Sonja and Mia were very professional and helpful. The Plitvice lakes are an amazing wonder, that they are passionate and proud of. Changing buses was convenient for our on going travel was well organised.
Great tour with Mia and Sonja! Very good timing/pacing of the day and a great way to see the best features of the Park while also getting transportation from Zagreb to Split.
Excellent way to get from Zagreb to Split or Trogir. Sanja and Mia were fabulous tour guides. The addition of visiting Plitvice National park was great. The transfer worked very well, efficient and the guides and driver did all the work.
Perfect for those who want to see the park and commute comfortably. Sanja was our starting guide and was filled with knowledge from start to finish and paced the trip perfectly. Mia came on for the journey to Split and provided recommendations around Split which will be useful!
Had a great day and Sanja and Mia looked after us really well.
A great way to travel between two cities, with a tour of the Plitvice Lakes area in between. The Lakes tour was rushed (due to the timetable and the large crowds), but our guide, Samantha, did a great job of giving us info, and herding us through the crowds. The second part of the trip( on towards Split) included a lunch stop ( good restaurant choice) and the ride down to the coast ( bus was unfortunately warm) - cost was a little high, but it was convenient. Drop off in Split was central ( near the Palace)
This trip was a must see, and Mia and Sonja were wonderful guides. Highly recommend. The waterfalls and the lakes were spectacular. It is a lot of up-and-down walking so I be careful on the uneven terrain.
Went from Zagreb to Plitvice with guide Sanja. She was great with commentary along the way which was interesting and informative. We joined with group from Split with Mia as a guide also. Both guides were energetic, fun and shared a great deal of information and appreciation of the beautiful lakes. Stunning scenery. Rated 4 vs 5 as the large group took away some of the value of being in nature. If you were near the back of the group you missed the commentary at vantage points. We were well looked after with great instruction and suitable stops both directions. Bus drivers were very good.
Daniela was nice but it seemed that she didn’t want to be there or it was getting too boring for her. I think she needs a break from the tour
