Give Lovro a raise!!!

Lovro deserves a raise! Excellent guide, very attentive and personable. We loved chatting with him on the bus on the way there and back. The tour is quite pricey, but it's a good way to get out of the city and explore another part of Croatia without having to do any planning!

Incredible day at the national park

100% recommended, the park is beautiful. Highlighting the kindness of Antonia, an incredible guide. We did not hire a guide at the park and her directions to get to the meeting point were excellent, as was her treatment of us.

A magnificent park with its waterfalls and lakes.

An excursion that was respected in terms of duration and itinerary, a bit too rushed for my taste.

Jaw dropping views

We took the self guided tour. Antonia our guide was great and gave us clear information to complete the tour. She also gave us lots of interesting facts about Split on the bus. She also set up a whats app group and was always on hand to answer any questions. Definitely recommend the tour as the views are just stunning. Don't be put off by the 3 hour bus journey, it goes by real fast and there is break half way. Thank you Antonia and team 😀
