5.00This was an amazing day, maybe better than I had imagined. Our guide, Bojan, was really knowledgeable about all things Croatia and gave us a potted history on the outward journey. The weather was horrendous but that worked in our favour - the park itself was reasonably quiet. I would definitely recommend this tour with this company and would happily do it again.
Beautiful day out but could be a shorter day

4.00The 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 just miss out the stop which just drags the travel out! The route we took was brilliant and the guide was also fantastic - just think it could be a-lot more efficient - boat ride is lovely and so peaceful
Our tour guide was excellent!! He was very informative and easy to talk to
