Excellent Private Transfers in Croatia

I had an excellent experience with Blkn Escape for two private transfers in Croatia. We booked a journey from Zagreb to Split (via Plitvice Lakes) and another from Split to Dubrovnik (via Mostar). The service was outstanding from start to finish. Our vehicle was a BMW that was impeccably clean, modern, and very comfortable. Our driver was professional, punctual, and friendly, making the long drives a pleasure. Communication was a highlight—Aleksander was highly responsive and provided clear updates before our trip, which gave us great peace of mind. We felt completely taken care of throughout the entire process. I am extremely happy with the service and highly recommend Blkn Escape for a reliable and comfortable travel experience in Croatia.

Dear Sophie, Many thanks for Your trust in booking part of Your trip through Croatia and Beyond with us, Your wonderful review is greatly appreciated. All the best to both You and Patrick. Alex

Professionalism Abounds

Finding a reliable company from a half a world away can be challenging. Limitless Balkan is highly professional. Every bit of communication was top-notch. He was prompt, highly knowledgeable with a great personality. He thought of everything, including WC stops. I would highly recommend the company and if we’re ever here again, we will only go with him.

Highly Recommended

We had an enjoyable and smooth trip with our driver Alex. He was very friendly and had great knowledge of the local area. He texted us the night before with clear instructions about the trip. In the morning he arrived earlier for our pick up from the hotel. We had a wonderful ride in the clean and spacious Mercedes Van with water and coke ready for our arrival. We chose the free time option in the Plitvice Lakes National Park, although Alex was very helpful and gave us informative advice for our visit in the park. When we got back to the car after the visit, Alex also had snacks and fruit ready for us. It was such a lovely trip with Alex and we highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a comfortable road transfer from Zagreb to Split.

Operator response

Amazing experience

I have just returned from Croatia, and though I don’t typically write reviews, I had to make an exception for Alex and his team at Limitless Balkan. A few months before my trip, I reached out to Limitless Balkan, Alex from Limitless Balkan replied instantly and his responsiveness and helpfulness convinced me to book all my private transfers and sightseeing with them. Our journey was seamless. Alex personally drove us in a brand-new Mercedes luxury van from Zagreb to Split, with a stop at the stunning Plitvice Lakes. There, we explored the park with a private guide arranged by Alex. From Split, we traveled to Dubrovnik, pausing at a secluded spot for an incredible private seafood experience. In Dubrovnik, Mara, one of Alex’s guides, gave us an amazing private tour of the city including walk through the most beautiful part of the walls. To top it off, we flew back to Zagreb and had a private transfer to Bled Lake, with a scenic detour to Otocec castle and Ljubljana. This time, Kruno was our driver, and he represented Limitless Balkan with the same professionalism and warmth. The entire process—from booking to payment—was smooth and easy. We received constant updates, including details about our guides, drivers, meeting points, and contact info a day before each leg of the trip. If you're looking for an effortlessly planned, luxurious experience in Croatia, I highly recommend Alex and his team! Thank you, Richard S.

quality is never a coincidence.

This agency really provides a very comfortable and reliable service. I definitely recommend you to choose a company that does not compromise on quality.

Operator response

Hi there, Thank you for your positive feedback about the service you received. However, it seems there might be a mix-up as it doesn't appear that you've traveled with us or booked a tour through our agency. Additionally, the picture posted does not feature our vehicle. Best, Aleksandar

Best Tour and Transportation!

The worst fear of booking something online is not having them show up and taking your money. That’s exactly why I search in TripAdvisor and look for the top three. Limitless Balkans was on top for reason. They’re reliable, professional, and trustworthy. I paid for the entire trip prior to my arrival and they communicated with me every step of the way. I booked 1) Zagreb to Split via Pletvice Lakes 2) Split to Dubrovnik via Mostar 3) Dubrovnik to Kotor, Montenegro and 4) Zagreb to Dubrovnik via Pletvice Lakes for my family. While it’s more expensive than taking a bus, the price is reasonable for a private tour and transportation. Had I booked a tour online, it would have cost me 150 euro per person. If you travel in a group of 4 people or more, then I think it’s more worth it. What l like a lot of the Limitless Balkans is the fact that all their trip prices are listed online. Lastly, their drivers are excellent and their tour guides are knowledgeable. I highly recommend this company for any private transfer and tours.

Excellent experience

My journey from Zagreb to Split, with a stop at the astonishing Plitvice Lakes, was a wonderful experience. Alex, my driver for the transfer, was waiting outside my hotel in an awesome black car that looked brand new. He provided bottled water and a detailed explanation of our itinerary. Alex was a great guy to chat with and knew all the answers to my questions. When we got to Plitvice Lakes, I met Nikola, a charismatic guide who took over and showed me his second home, Plitvice Lakes National Park. The level of safety and comfort was top-notch, complemented by engaging conversations with Alex, whose taste in music was fantastic - the playlist during the ride was exceptional. Huge thanks.

Operator response

Hey Evan, Big thanks for your wonderful review! Really glad you had a good time on our private transfer to Split and loved the Plitvice Lakes stop. It was really fun chatting with you and sharing tunes along the way. So glad you liked the car and felt comfortable. And yes, Nikola is amazing at the Lakes, isn’t he? Looking forward to Your next visit to Croatia ! All the best! Alex

A train you'll remember for life. Guide Neven

A trip you'll remember for life. Plitvice lakes are impressive for their unreal beauty. My guide was Neven. The road from Zagreb itself went quietly. Neven is an experienced driver, the car was new and comfortable. My guide told me a lot of interesting information about Croatia and about the Plitvice Lakes. I was happy with the trip. Everyone should visit this beautiful place.

Operator response

Dear Anna, Thank you for showing us Your trust and choosing us for your private transfer from Zagreb to Split with a visit to Plitvice Lakes National Park. We are thrilled to hear that you had an enjoyable and memorable journey with our knowledgeable, experienced and friendly driver and guide Neven. We greatly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back to Croatia in the future. Best regards, Alex and the Limitless Balkan team
