A special day at Plitvice
Plitvice Lakes was stunning, and we loved the tour. Very well organized. Our guide Mario was excellent, telling us many interesting stories about Plitvice National Park. We traveled from Zagreb and stopped in the little village of Rastoke to see the watermills. It was wonderful to spend the whole day in nature. The park is so beautiful! I recommend this tour 100 percent!
Worth the money!
Wonderful day at Plitvice Lakes! We chose the 8-hour tour and spent the whole day exploring. The nature is truly spectacular. The guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. She showed us the best highlights, and we took some amazing photos. This tour is worth every penny.
The whole family enjoyed the trip!
We were on holiday in Split and decided to take a family trip to Plitvice Lakes. Booking online was easy, and everything went smoothly. The transport was comfortable and air-conditioned ( important as it was very hot outside), and our guide was fantastic. Plitvice was absolutely stunning, and the kids loved the walking trails, as well as boat and train rides. It was a great tour and an unforgettable day. We got back to Split feeling relaxed and happy! Recommended!
