5.00I booked a five consecutive multi day trips from Split to various cities in Dalmatia & the Plitvice National Park with Croatia Private Tours , as well as airport transfer/ pick up. This was an amazing, most enjoyable experience thanks to the professionalism & kindness of my driver Pave. He was prompt, reliable and flexible. This made for relaxing, friendly & low stress trips to the historic cities of Trogir, Šibenik, Zadar, Salona & the picturesque Plitvice National Park. I plan to employ the services of this company in my future travel to the Adriatic. I will absolutely recommend them.

5.00Vinko made the best of a bad situation: torrential downpour almost the entire trip. He kept our spirits up and took us to a very pleasant cafe afterward. Although he took us a new route home that turned out to be torn up for construction, he got us home safely. Thanks for an adventure, Vinko!
Best private tour yet!

5.00Andrea was our driver and was very knowledgeable about history and geography of Croatia. Her vehicle was clean and very comfortable. At Plitvice park our private guide was Lazar. It was great to be with our own guide vs a large group. He was knowledgeable and knows how to find all of the places we wanted to see. The park is a very special place with the turquoise lakes and big waterfalls. Croatia tours was very responsive with questions and in touch quickly with trip details. I highly recommend using this company for your travels in Croatia.
