“Stunning! Great experience with Mia & Sanja walking through the National park. I couldn’t imagine leaving Croatia without having visited. Saying this, I would have loved more time to really take in the beauty of the park, but the pace was kept so we’d be able to see the majority of lakes, falls & scenery. Highly recommend.”
Guided day trip from Split to Plitvice Lakes, with English guide and hotel pickup. Walk Upper and Lower Lakes waterfalls. Tickets extra.
“The natural park itself was really great and the guide was knowledgeable and friendly. However, the whole experience was spoiled by a mother bringing along a three year old. The child screamed for the most part of the return journey. I understand the child was totally exhausted, but I do not understand a parent brings a three year old to a tour that takes over twelve hours and is exhausting even for an adult. As some parents seem to lack even a minimum of common sense, I would propose a minimum age limit of seven years for long tours.”

“Our trip to Plitvice was amazing. The trip from Split to the national park was long, but the bus was comfortable and the scenery made it up. The park was beautiful and we were very lucky with the weather in mid October. This was our first ever trip with a guide and I must say Sanja, our guide was excellent. She entertained us with interesting stories on the bus trip, kept an eye on everyone during the hike and just made sure everyone was safe and having fun. Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience.”

“We did the private tour from Split. Luka was a fabulous guide, very knowledgeable about the history of Split and the park, which was a bonus on the drive, to learn about the history. The lakes were stunning and made for a great day in a beautiful location. If you are considering the journey from Split we would recommend doing it. We were even there on a rainy day and it was still beautiful. You could consider a group versus private tour. Given the natural. beauty and leisure of the drive and walk, a private tour may not be worth the extra fee. A group tour may work just fine…”
