“Our time at the National Park started out with rain which didn’t las. It in no way detracted from the beauty of the park or the walk. Our guide, Filip, was always on hand to make sure his guests did not get lost. He was engaging, professional and ensured we had a relaxed pace and did not feel rushed. After the tour he offered tips by WhatsApp and email to ensure guests got the most out of their stay in Zadar. Thanks for a great day Filip. Elaine”

He explained everything in an engaging way and made the entire tour enjoyable from start to finish. We really enjoyed every single part of the trip, from the breathtaking lakes to the smooth organization of the day. Highly recommended, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Marko as your guide!”

“My wife and I had an outstanding day out with our guides Mia and Sanja - they were friendly, communicated clearly, were knowledgeable, funny and helpful. Plitvice Lakes NP exceeded my expectations with its unique and impressive beauty, unlike anything I've seen to date! This tour involved about 1.5 hours of easy to moderate intensity walking, and all up we spent 4 hours seeing the sights of the park. Be prepared for significant crowds, even in the off season.”

Guided Plitvice Lakes day tour from Split with hotel pickup, English guide, and round-trip transport. Upper and Lower Lakes waterfalls.

“Interesting, but I would do a tour that provided transportation only so we could explore on our own (nothing wrong with tour, just personal preference). Stopped for snacks on the way there and at a great little lunch spot on the way home. Ivanka was a great guide. Side note - the gift shop there is very reasonably priced. I saw some items there that were way more expensived in Dubrovnik and Split.”

“Fantastic , Leopold is a wonderful guide . Learnt so much on the tour . The only confusion was the tour is listed as Guide, boat and train which is great but as Boat and train is included in the price of the entry ticket to the park , it seems like false advertising giving people the impression that they have paid for the boat and train twice .”

“The lakes/waterfalls are amazing and once you get there its brilliant and would recommend 100% The travel does take a while; however there was a stop for ‘food & drinks’ on route to get lunch as we were told the food and drinks at Plitvice were expensive and not good so this dragged out the day so much - met at 7:30am and we didn't actually get going on the walk until 11:30am - would be better if the tour said just bring your own lunch / buy it at the lakes (its not expensive and its just the basic sandwiches/burgers/hot/cold drinks/ice creams (better option than the stop off) and…”

“Plitvice Lakes is so beautiful. Loved seeing a different side of Croatia-so different than the coast. The drive from Split was easy and we were in a very comfortable bus. I wish that there was a way to make the walkways less crowded at the park but still worth the visit. Our driver was great and tour director told great stories about his home country. We learned a lot and it made the ride more enjoyable.”

Marko let me go ahead since it wasn't crowded, so I was able to fully immerse myself in nature without anyone right next to me. Overall highly recommend the experience!!”
