Worth the drive!!

We booked this thinking it was a tour but it was only the car service to/from Plitvices Park. We were asked if we wanted to pay an additional $180 for a tour guide but we opted to do it on our own. It was amazing! We hiked path H and it took about 5 hours. You do need to buy your own tickets in advance- we didn’t know this and luckily Mickey (our driver) helped us out when we go to the park and was able to help us get them on the spot despite showing zero availability online. Our drive to Plitvice National Park was one of the highlights of our trip to Croatia, thanks to our outstanding driver from Grayline- Mickey!! From the moment we were picked up, he was so friendly, professional, and made us feel completely at ease. The drive was comfortable and safe, and Mickey shared fascinating information about Croatia’s history, culture, and the beautiful countryside along the way. He was so happy to answer my kid’s questions, offered excellent local recommendations for us to eat authentic food, and made the journey just as enjoyable as our time in the park. Mickey’s thoughtful service, punctuality, and genuine hospitality made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. If you’re planning a visit to Plitvice National Park we highly recommend this driver. They truly went above and beyond to make our day memorable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you for helping make our visit to one of Croatia’s most beautiful destinations so special!

Such a WOW factor here!

We had arrived in Croatia with just one thing on our minds…waterfalls! After this tour, we had tons of things on our mind. Frane was our guide/driver for the day and he was punctual, professional and personable. Frane shared a wealth of information about Croatia which we were enamored with. Our luggage got lost and we didn’t have any of our rain gear. Frane was able to line us up with a couple rain pouches and off we went. It is a lot of walking and a lot of WOW’ ing. The cascading waterfalls of Plitvice National Park is simply one of the best experiences for those that seek cascading waterfalls. The water has the power and will find a way. As we walked in awe of all that we saw. It was simply an amazing day and to make it even better, ask for Frane!

Best part of our trip

Well worth the drive

Great way to see an amazing UNESCO site. Domo was our guide and catered the trip to our needs. He gave us a ton of information and had lots of tips to see this beautiful park. Took great photos as well! It is a full day trip so be prepared. Also leave as early as possible to avoid crowds
