My wife and I had a great time with our guide Nikola. The park is amazing and Nikola had so much insight into it because he grew up playing there. This was one of the highlights of our 3 week trip to Croatia. If you want to see Plitvice Lakes National Park, I highly recommend getting a private guide and Nikola was perfect for us.

Amazing tour
So fun! Rose was an amazing guide, super easy to understand, gave us lots of opportunities for bathroom breaks and rest stops. She also gave me a great restaurant recommendation in Zagreb. Plitvicka is incredible, it's like an alien planet.

Beautiful Park- Excellent Guide!
Nikolas provided an excellent tour of this beautiful Croatian Park (Piltvice National Park) as he grew up here and has extensive knowledge of both the park and its history. He had an answer to all of our questions and took extra time to show us secret spots that many might not see. Highly recommend him as a guide as you will get your moneys worth!

Plitvice Lakes day tour with Terezija of Romeo & Juliet
Terezija was a fabulous tour guide. Very well organised and ensured that our day was very comfortable. Terezija met us at the Old Town, and gave us a break visiting live bears on the way to Plitvice Lakes. Terezija provided us with a substantial packed lunch and had great commentary that we appreciated. Terezija was a pleasure to spend the day with and her English is very clear and easy to understand. Would highly recommend Terezija to be your guide.

Great trip and tour guide!
Amazing trip to Croati
lakes and waterfalls! The scenery was stunning, and it was lovely having a small group — it made the day feel relaxed and personal. The lakes weren’t busy, so we could really enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Mia was a fantastic guide — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience unforgettable!
