Amazing experience…. Our guide Monika was fun,active and super cool. Everything was well organized. I doubt if we would have been able to cover most of the park if it was not for the guidance. We are so happy that we made the decision to do this tour with Zadar in and out and strongly recommend others do this tour with them.
Excellent tour of Plivice lakes. Don't overthink it, book it.

This is a fantastic tour. Our guide (Monika!) had terrific communication. See photo for example of group communication during tour, so that you don't get lost, but are able to (mostly) set your own hiking pace. Even though one could visit Plitvice Lakes on your own, this way everything is taken care of. The guide provides so much local and national information. We learned a lot and found it to be so interesting. A short stop for breakfast before entering the park at a local rest stop, made the early start pleasant with a bit of coffee and strudel( or full breakfast if you want) before entering the park. The bus ride was comfortable. Depending on your preference, consider packing yourself some snacks, water, even a sandwich. Food options are limited in the park. I highly recommend this tour. Book directly with the operator if possible. We did not, and paid more than some others on our tour.
Outstanding day

Bojan was an excellent guide who shared great history and local anecdotes. The day was expertly organized, the route we took around the lake really maximized the sights and there we were able to walk at our own pace with regular checking. Definitely recommend it.
Must see experience.

The scenery was wonderful. A very enjoyable walk through the lakes and waterfalls. Our guide, Monika, was a real pro with our large group. I learned a lot even on the ride there. She also took time to talk to everyone individually along the way. Because it was a tour we were on a schedule and it felt a bit rushed, but all in all a nice outing.

Right from the start Bojan had us captured. A wonderful guide telling the history and geography. Very comfortable bus, great breakfast stop. Plitvica Lakes, the most amazing turquoise colour and lovely light coming through the foliage making amazing photos. Thank Bojan for a great day.
Fabulous for able walkers

A full day but so well guided and ran by Bojan. He set up a WhatsApp group so we had lots of information on the lakes but also knew all the timings for the various meet ups. Lots of stops to take pictures. Stop just before the lakes for a coffee/ breakfast / loo and buy a sandwich (recommend taking lunch with you as quicker but also expensive at the lakes). Bojan ran a great schedule that made sure we had plenty of time to walk around but also well timed for the train and boat. Brilliant day with had by both and highly recommend this trip as the lakes are stunning and Bojan.was superb!
