You need a pair of good shoes for this trip. Well organised, two breaks to have a snack. Lakes are amazing

Recommended to take your own food and drinks. Also good walking shows. You will walk a lot. This is a stunning location and the guide made it even better! She was informative and friendly. The group was quite large but managed well. cannot fault it. I looked at a lot of options but this tour was for me the best...especially with the free Old Town tour of Zadar included. WOW! This was beyond all expectations. 1.5 hours that passed so fast. Quality information and great care taken of customers. Ante was TOP!

The tour guide was a wealth of information. We enjoyed spending time with her and the group. Monika offered excellent directions and kept us safe. The bus was comfortable. We liked that the bus stopped for breakfast/refreshment before entering the park. Once in, we could mostly set our own pace. Wear good walking shoes, bring some water and a snack there is food for sale inside but consider packing your own lunch if you’re a picky eater like me, or have health requirements. Great tour!!

Bojan was an excellent guide who shared great history and local anecdotes. The day was expertly organized, the route we took around the lake really maximized the sights and there we were able to walk at our own pace with regular checking. Definitely recommend it.

This was the best day trip ever.

Right from the start Bojan had us captured. A wonderful guide telling the history and geography. Very comfortable bus, great breakfast stop. Plitvica Lakes, the most amazing turquoise colour and lovely light coming through the foliage making amazing photos. Thank Bojan for a great day.

A full day but so well guided and ran by Bojan. He set up a WhatsApp group so we had lots of information on the lakes but also knew all the timings for the various meet ups. Lots of stops to take pictures. Stop just before the lakes for a coffee/ breakfast / loo and buy a sandwich (recommend taking lunch with you as quicker but also expensive at the lakes). Bojan ran a great schedule that made sure we had plenty of time to walk around but also well timed for the train and boat. Brilliant day with had by both and highly recommend this trip as the lakes are stunning and Bojan.was superb!

Great tour with a fantastic guide! We were expecting a fully unguided tour of the national park, but Filip provided some guidance on the best way to go through the park, and he walked along the path to check in with everyone. We could all go at our own pace, but it was nice to have him nearby if we needed anything or had any questions. He also gave a lot of background information on the geographic history of the park, which was really interesting. This was quite a bit of walking (about three hours), so be prepared for that. Overall, the best way to see the park!

Absolutely fantastic day trip! Our guide Filip was incredibly knowledgeable, and friendly. He created a WhatsApp group for the whole group to join, so if anybody had a question they could pop it in there. He also kept putting route guidance in there. Absolutely stunning views across the park, and I would recommend this excursion to all who travel to Zadar or surrounding areas!

Really enjoyed our tour with Bojan yesterday ! Bojan was very knowledgeable and unobtrusive, very funny too ! Waterfalls jaw dropping , lovely to see fish swimming around in the pools and hearing frogs calling to each other ! ! Overall an amazing trip and would definitely recommend 🤗

The tour operator was Zadar in and out. Our guide, Bojan, gave sufficient guidance at important junctions without rushing us. We have never seen so many gorgeous waterfalls all in one day out in nature. Well worth your time. However, we did overpay. We paid $175 on this service, but when offered to leave a review, it initially took us to another website where the price was only listed as 52 US per person. Shop around.
