5.00Barry was a fantastic guide (knowledgeable, funny, and organized). And the park is so beautiful. Barry took us on a path where we saw upper and lower lakes. We never felt hurried and got to see so many amazing sights. Highly recommend.
A must see in Croatia

1.00We received an email 2 days before the trip that had the wrong starting point and phone numbers. We therefore missed our trip. After searching through the website, we finally found a correct phone number. The person answering was not helpful. We finally found the correct office. It turns out that the original company had been purchased by another company and many customers had been receiving the wrong address from an old auto generated email. They did book us onto a tour of another national park. This other tour was shorter and cheaper. We have yet to receive any refund from the new company. DO NOT book this trip.
Stunning!

5.00Very good, unforgettable experience. Guided mia people are nice and friendly. It's a little early in the morning to get on, it's sleepy, but the scenery in the middle of the national park is definitely worth it.
