Great trip with Dino. He ensured my 11 year old had sufficient breaks and was a wealth of knowledge. The small group component provided for a personalized experience. Dino is simply the best!
Thank you! We’re happy to hear you had a great time with us!
Stunning scenery! Our guide Damien was excellent and our day was smooth. Well worth the visit!!!
Thank you so much! We’re so glad you enjoyed Plitvice with Damjan.
Went to Plitvice lakes. It was very beautiful. Definitely worth the trip. Guide was very knowledgeable. It wasn’t too busy at the park also which was nice.
Thank you! Our team will be very happy to hear this!
The PLITVICE lakes National park is a must visit while in Zagreb. The turquoise hues of the water and the flora and fauna in the park offers a unique experience for nature lovers. The tour was well paced - though any amount of time would not to enough to enjoy all that the park had to offer- and our guide Martina was very professional and mindful of our limitations and needs during the rather long walk.
Thanks
Marko was a knowledgeable and funny guide. He set very clear expectations so we always knew to expect. He was also very patient with our large group. We visited Plitvice Lakes first. It was a lot of walking with a few steeper climbs on trails or boardwalks, but worth every step. Marko timed our arrival at one of the lakes and we got to see the water in a beautiful torquoise colour. We then visited the small town of Rastoke, which gave us a nice break from a long day. Definitely try the ice cream shop with their various topings. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you're going with Marko.
Many thanks for booking with us and sharing your experience with others! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your day with Marko!
Great experience. Croatia has done a nice job of making this National Park very assessable. Lots of walking through beautiful waterfalls. Our guide Dado was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing this wonderful part of Croatia.
Many thanks for booking with us and sharing your experience with others!
Had a great day Marco is very knowledgeable and informative Glad we were not there mid summer as it was fairly hot and large crowds
Many thanks for booking with us and sharing your experience with others!
It was a very pleasant trip; we chose the option in a small group of up to 8 people, and that was absolutely the right decision. At a comfortable pace, allowing enough time for photos and to enjoy the surroundings, we took a longer route through the park. The tour guide drove well, shared many interesting and practical insights, and took great care of the group the entire time.
Vielen Dank!!
Fantastic experience. I was concerned about spending 10 hours on a tour, but the day went so fast and the waterfalls were well worth the distance. The bus was comfortable and the AC was good. Sara and Marko were great guides and kept us on track
Many thanks!
We went on a beautiful sunny day and our tour guide (don’t remember his name but stared with a “D”) started us at the second entrance and that paid off with little waiting time compared to starting at at the other starting point. Our group had 7 and our guide was fun and interesting and answered all our questions and our group (from around the world) asked a lot of random questions. Highly recommend the small group tour! Long day but worth it!
Many thanks!
