5.00Martina was a great guide. She had lots of interesting information about Zagreb, Croatia, and Plitvice. The lakes were beautiful and there is probably nothing like it in the world. Must see if visiting Croatia.
Good tour

5.00This tour is a must for anyone visiting Croatia. The stunning scenery is simply beyond words. The park is truly a treasure and it's so wonderful to see all that unspoiled nature. It's a long day but you hardly notice the time going by as you are fascinated by all the natural beauty. Very well organised tour and our guide Martina was simply amazing. Thank you! As the tour involves considerable walking through the wooden/off road staircases and pathways I express caution for people with mobility or even visual impairments.
