An amazing day in Plitvice

Lyn_E, Sep 2025

Having a private tour was important for me as I wasn’t sure how much walking I would be able to manage on the day and didn’t want to hold up a group. I researched and decided on this tour company. What a great decision I made for an outstanding memorable day with Petra. The car (small SUV) we travelled in was super comfortable and Petra provided so much information the whole way to both stops. We had just the right amount of time in Rastoke for coffee and toilet stop and little look around the quaint tiny village then onto Plitvice. Petra tailored the tour so we covered about 8km spread throughout the time there.. mindful if I needed a rest and incl 2 boat trips across the lake( 1 longer than the other) and the shuttle back to the start. The waterfalls and lakes were absolutely stunning and Petra provided Info along the way and offered to take photos for us. Everything was nicely timed and we were back to have a bite to eat before the 2-2 1/2 hr drive back to Zagreb. What a wonderful day .. don’t hesitate to book and if you get Petra you will be super lucky!

Wow! What an amazing trip! Our guide Martina was wonderful! The family really enjoyed the day with her. The lakes and waterfalls were stunning and Martina was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. We can’t enough about how much we enjoyed. The family said Martina was by far the best guide we have had, and we have take. 25+ private tours through TripAdvisor/Viator. Highly recommend!!
