“We had an amazing Plitvice Lakes excursion from Zagreb and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guide, Marko, was outstanding — extremely knowledgeable, very funny, and clearly very experienced. 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!”

“We booked this tour last minute as we had a few hours left in Zagreb before our bus. It was such a wonderful tour, and even showed us a Christmas market we had completely missed during our stay. Tomislav was a wonderful tour guide. His knowledge was expensive and he was open to all our questions. The size of the group was perfect - we had 8 people in total in the group. Much better than some other groups that we saw having 20+. It was easy to hear what Tomislav was saying, and we got enough time at each “sight”. Highly recommend”
