Tony was a great driver and Katarina was a very informative, warm and kind guide! We had a great time, learned a lot and saw the most beautiful views of the lakes and national park.
Double confirm your location and pickup time.! I double confirmed time but company gave driver wrong location. Big issue early am. TONY, our driver was great to call as he was given wrong pickup location also. TONY was excellent through the entire trip, great driver and patient. Thank you Tony! The drive was comfortable and it was good to see the inland area and the mountains. Thankful for a rest stop also. The lakes were beautiful..... Moderate ability for walking is required to go up and down hills and stairs.
The park was amazing and at peak fall colors. Loved having just a small group. The guide was very patient and did not rush us through the park.
The walking is on stepped boardwalk of split wood logs. These may get slippery when wet so take care. It’s worth it
The best tour in Croatia! Everything was well organised. The van was clean and spaciouse, the driver was proffesional and very funny . We had both Upper and Lower lakes . Guide was so knowledgable .Plitvice lakes are must see!
Although a very long day, this visit was the highlight of our European vacation. We have never seen such beauty! Our guide Ivanka was a bundle of energy. Highly recommend!
Amazing, memorable tour. Well executed.Tony, our driver was excellent and very funny. Local guide was knowledgeable, provided us a wealth of information. My friends and I highly recommend this tour company.
Everything was organised perfectly.Driver was excellent, funny and very informative. We had great lincesed local guide in the park. We done part with guide and part of the park alone, we love it in that way. We had lunch in the local restaurant after, food was really good and prices were affordable. I recommend this travel agency !
Awful tour. Was charged mysterious €40 upon pick up from driver with no communication what it was for (tour was already paid for on Viator). Upon arrival to lakes, we were handed off to park tour guide, Marijanna, who handed us a map of directions and just told us to follow the boat rides and trails to letter „h”. Little did we know she was actually supposed to stay with us and guide us through the park. Later we saw her guiding a different tour group in the park. Because there was no guidance, many on the tour returned past 3pm to the driver meeting spot and ended up returning late back to Split. Would not recommend as I am not sure what the tour paid for besides the gas and the drive to the lakes.
Dear Karol, Thank you for your review. We’d like to clarify a few important points regarding your experience. The €40 charge you mention was for the Plitvice Lakes National Park entry ticket, which is clearly stated on the Viator tour description as not included in the original price you paid. This is a standard practice, and all guests are informed prior to the tour. Regarding the guided portion of the tour: the itinerary also explains that a licensed park guide will provide you with guidance at the start and guide you, then you’ll have free time to explore the park on your own, following the designated trails and boat rides. This is exactly what our guide, Mirjana, did. Some guests were indeed a few minutes late returning to the bus, but they contacted us, and we waited accordingly. We apologize if this affected your experience in any way. We’re sorry to hear the tour didn’t meet your expectations but hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Croatia. Warm regards, South Tours
It will be the most amazing experience of your life. Ivan was a friendly & knowledgeable driver to the National Park. I have always had great experiences with Viator tours.
Dear Kathy, Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it. We are happy that you enjoyed our trip and that it was a nice experience for you that enriched your visit to Croatia. We hope that you will come back to us soon. Best regards, Nina South Tours agency
