    A wonderful day trip out to Plitvice Lakes NP. We visited Zadar on our cruise and wanted to visit the NP. A private tour was the only way to do it. Our guide was excellent, gave expert commentary on our way to the Lakes and answered any questions we had. Even stoped for us to buy lunch to take with us and showed us bears. Very unexpected but appreciated. Jure suggested a plan for us to see all the main areas in the park to maximize our time there ensuring we were back at our ship on time. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Plitvice Lakes and would recommend this tour.

    Spent a fantastic day with our guide Jurica! We made a few stops along the way and picked up some sandwiches to enjoy on the trip to Plitvice. Plitvice was beautiful! Thanks again Jurica for making it a special day!

    Great day out

    A great day out -walking, sightseeing and history. A moderate level of fitness required. Spectacular scenery

    Fabulous day trip

    Great day to the stunning park, lakes and waterfalls. Jure was a brilliant guide, exactly the right pace and the right amount of information for our group. Definitely recommended:)

    Jure was the perfect guide

    Kimberly_H, Aug 2025
    The was an exceptional excursion with the most knowledgeable and interesting guide, Jure. He drove us about an hour to the national park. The van was clean and comfortable and we felt very safe with Jure’s driving. He spoke the entire time, giving us history and sharing his own love for the area. After several hours at the park, where we were guided completely by Jude, he drive us to the old town of Zadar where we learned even more about this incredible region. Jure was very professional, yet personable and patient with our 7-person group. I can’t say enough about his attention and authentic enthusiasm to share what he knows so well.

    Great experience- had a lovely trip to plitvice

    So beautiful

    Our tour guide, Jurica, picked us up from the cruise terminal. While driving to Plitvice Lakes, he gave us an informative commentary on the history of Croatia and the surrounding area. Upon arrival to the park, he found a convenient parking spot, then we started on our hike. The area is indescribably beautiful. From the color of the water in the lakes, to the sound of the waterfalls, you feel like you’re in paradise. We didn’t want to leave. On our return journey to the cruise ship, Jurica stopped at a grocery store for us so we could pick up some things. He went above and beyond to make this trip the best it could be. If you love the beauty of nature, this trip is for you.

    This was an amazing experience. Jure exceeded expectations as a guide and driver. Plitvice is something I would highly recommend, it is incredibly beautiful. We went with a stroller, which made it difficult but not impossible. Would highly recommend this tour with Jure.

    Plitvice with Travel by Jure is a must see

    It was a great excursion, couldn’t recommend highly enough, George was a great guide and host, looked after us all very well. Highly knowledgeable and the tour itself was great the views were stunning.

    Driving in Croatia!

    Susan_J, May 2025
    Wonderful guide who was knowledgeable and great company in the car for 4 hours! Unfortunately, May 1 is Croatia is a holiday and the park was very crowded and we couldn’t get in. I would recommend booking your tickets on line and for the guide to be aware of the holidays. We lost our entire day in Zadar because of our on ship time. However, a day in Croatia is better than a day at work 😊. We were told that we would get a full refund.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Hi Susan, it was my pleasure meeting you and I hope you will come again to see the beauty of Plitvice Lakes. I was shocked for the few days for the mistake I did not telling you to reserve the tickets. It was a great lesson to me to always tell people to reserve the tickets. I hope you're safe back and you'll come back to our beautiful country. Best wishes!

    Recommended tour guide. Don't hesitate to book.

    I would definitely recommend this trip with tour guide Jurica. We were on a cruise ship, group of 5 and he met us directly at the Zadar port making this extremely easy and stress-free. Transportation to the lakes was in an air-con vehicle. He was very easy to contact and flexible with our booking. We found him to be very knowledgeable about the history and geography of Zadar and the lakes. He tailored the pace of the tour according to our time arrangements to get back onto the ship. This meant we did not worry about getting lost in the park and not have to worry about missing the ship, which could have been a possibility without his navigation skills and understanding of the impact on the crowds. He is very friendly, enthusiastic and loves nature which is easy to see why he makes an excellent tour guide. I would recommend booking with him. Thank you Jurica for a fantastic day out in the amazing Plitvice Lakes.
