Ivan as guide to Plitvice

Matthew_S, Sep 2025

Our guide, Ivan, was great . He provided lots of information about the region during our ride to and from Plitvice. His English was excellent. He was wonderful guide and pointed out tips to us. He offered accommodations whenever we would need. He encouraged us to enjoy our and not to rush He was a great conversationalist and we had a wonderful time

A full day of travel experience from Split

Leaving from Split means a 2 1/2 to 3 hr hour ride to and from Split. It is important to leave Split very early to get in front of the crowds since you will be walking on boardwalks and moving by ferries to go between the lower and upper falls. The lines can be long. Plan on lots of steps and walking. We walked 20,000 steps. A better plan would to fly into the capitol of Croatia and drive down to Split, stopping at the Lakes on the way.

Great tour of Plitvice Lakes!!!

Ivan was a tremendously friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Plitvice Lakes was an extraordinary place, and it helped to have such an experienced guide show us the way.

Wonderful experience

What a beautiful area to explore. Good exercise too! Andrea was a wonderful driver and guide. We had just the right amount of time with him and then the last portion of the hike we were on our own and met him to drive back Great conversations in the car about Croatia customs and life.

Fabulous day!

Plitvice Lakes Private tour

Ymirsy_C, Aug 2022

Amazing experience at the Plitvice Lakes, incredible views, the color of the water, peaceful place. My private tour with Tiho was very knowledgeable, he was very kind, respectful and fun. I will recommend to do a private tour because there was crowded so if you like conform and wants to save time and know more the park it’s a better option. Thanks

Absolutely worth it!

What a beautiful park! Absolutely loved the hike. Definitely worth it. Our guide/driver was very friendly and we had a great conversation about Croatian culture and history.

Wonderful day trip with a fabulous guide

Kim_S, Oct 2021

Our trip was wonderful. Plitvice Lakes was very beautiful. What made it even more special was our guide, Andrej. He was very informative, easy to talk to, and very accommodating. He really made the day the best it could be. Strongly recommend Andrej as a guide and this tour.

You’ve got to see this place!

Bert_L, Jun 2021

This amazing work of nature has been carefully preserved yet allows you to enjoy the experience up close as you walk through the park on well maintained trails along the shorelines of cascading lakes and across their wetlands on elevated wooden walkways, continuously viewing picturesque waterfalls. Our guide Roko did a superb job of driving us to and from the park and escorting us on the walk. All along the way he gave us great insights into Croatia’s history and culture. His well-informed talks added greatly to our understanding of all we were seeing and helped make our visit to Croatia very memorable.
