5.00Exceeded expectations. .. Not only exceptional natural beauty with autumn weather but over the top driver/guide/information guru Mat. We are two 77year old seniors and had no problem with the 8000 meter hike.

5.00A perfect history and nature experience all rolled into one fascinating package. Impressed that the tour still ran with only 3 guests on the day and the bonus was having our guide, Bojan, all to ourselves! He was easy company, a remarkable source of knowledge on all things Croatia and the Lakes, and gave us all the time we needed at any point in the walk. I would do this exact tour all over again in a heartbeat.
Top choice

5.00This was honestly one of the best tours I’ve ever been on! The place is absolutely breathtaking. The leaves were turning all these gorgeous autumn colors, and the lakes were just stunning. Everywhere you look, there are waterfalls that seem to go on forever. Bo was such a wonderful guide so kind, patient, and full of knowledge. You can really tell he loves what he does, and that made the whole experience even more special. I’d totally recommend this tour to anyone, but especially to solo female travelers like me. I felt safe, welcomed, and completely at ease the whole time. It’s a trip I’ll never forget. Thank you Bo and Pegasus
Fantastic

5.00Our guide Stephen was excellent, very experienced and knowledgeable on the tour. His experience helped us in navigating the park and he knew which the best routes were to avoid crowds. Everything was timed so we could get the fullest experience possible. He even suggested a great restaurant which the group met afterwards for dinner which was excellent. It was a great day and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
Book this company for a great day out.

5.00Great full day out. Pick up arranged at certain places in Zagreb rather than just one meeting point. Only max 8 people . Vehicle an conditioned comfortable modern van. Steve, our tour guide very knowledgeable , polite and friendly. Price includes entry and everything except of course food n drink. Pack a lunch, water in u backoack and remember a small umbrella 🌂 😉 This is a must do tour , anazing to see. We walk in different way compared to most people so miss lots of crowds . Trip includes 2 boat rides to cross to next section . Very well planned day to see the best spots and Steve will show you where best photo stops are. On the way , tour includes a short stop at Rastoke. A beautiful small village with plenty water around also. Great day .

5.00We had a fantastic experience with this tour company from start to finish. The booking process was smooth and well-organised, with Sara providing excellent communication and support. On the day of the tour, our guide Bojan picked us up right on time. The group was small, only 6 people, which made the experience more personal and enjoyable. Bojan was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us plenty of interesting information along the way. At the park, he carefully chose a route that avoided the busiest areas, allowing us to enjoy the beauty of Plitvice Lakes without long waits or crowds. The park itself is absolutely stunning, and thanks to the excellent organization and thoughtful guiding, we had a truly memorable day. I highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Croatia!

5.00Had the most amazing time on my Plitvice Lakes day tour! The small group size made it feel personal and relaxed — no giant crowds or rushing around. Just a great vibe all day long. Matija was fantastic — super friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great stories and local recommendations that added so much to the experience. You could tell he genuinely cared about making the day special for everyone. If you’re considering booking this tour, do it. Beautiful views, chill pace, and a guides who really go above and beyond. 10/10 would recommend!
