Excellent all day adventure from Zadar. Our guide Filip was excellent. There was a brief stop prior to entering the park for breakfast. The route he takes is 90% downhill making it an easier hike. It was nice being able to relax while someone else drove.

Great tour and well organized. Our tourguide Filip provided us with clear directions in the park on which route to follow and where to gather as a group, also gave some interesting information on Croatia in general and about the national park. Great tourguide. Also nice with this tour is that you can join an Zadar old town tour which is included in the price.

Thank you Filip, it has been the most amazing day. I will never forget the beauty of nature that I experienced today. Would I do it again? Definitely. I would love to do the tour in all four seasons and would certainly use Zadar in and out tours again. The organisation was brilliant from start to finish.
Perfect autumn trip to Plitvice

We had a really great tour. It was well paced and we had time to do our own thing with meet up points along the way. Filip was a great guide- engaging and funny. Plitvice lakes and waterfalls are absolutely spectacular. Don’t miss out on going here! Make sure to wear warm clothes and bring lots of layers as it is quite cool especially in the shade.

Breathtaking views definitely not to be missed. Autumn offers particularly suggestive colors, but it is advisable to bring a heavy jacket since the wind is cold and very strong especially if you take the ferry. Filip, our guide, made the experience even more enjoyable by showing great preparation, professionalism and a strong kind and funny personality, he accompanied us step by step along the best route to see all the highlights of the park. Given the beautiful autumn experience, we will definitely return in spring!🪻
