    Great day with Marko

    Carlos_S, Sep 2026
    My wife and I booked this tour 2 days in advance and were glad there was room for us! It was a smaller group of 19 people. Marko was our guide and took good care of us. His English is excellent and his sense of humor very entertaining. He gave us information about Croatia and Rastoke while on the bus. We would have liked some more data/information regarding the lakes, but overall it was a great experience and a beautiful place that is definitely worth a visit while in Croatia. The tour was well organized and the communication is great both prior to and during the tour. Thanks Pegasus and Marko for a LOVELY day!

    Absolutely amazing trip! We were picked up at the planned meeting point and driven for about an hour to our first stop. We visited a small, charming village and had some time to walk around and enjoy it before continuing to the next stop: the incredible waterfalls. The waterfalls were absolutely beautiful, with stunning scenery and crystal-clear water. We took a small bus up and first visited the upper waterfalls, which were breathtaking. Then we went on a boatride - very beautiful. After that, we had a short break and enjoyed lunch before continuing to the lower waterfalls. Our guide, Bo, was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and helpful throughout the entire trip. He even carried our lunchbag while we took photos and enjoyed the waterfalls. He also knew so much about Croatian history and the area, which made the experience even more interesting. Overall, it was a fantastic trip from start to finish, and I would highly recommend it! Tickets (not included in the prize) could be purchased on-site, and they had already been reserved for us, which made everything very easy. It was definitely worth it, and I would strongly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Croatia!

    Everything great and Marko a great guide

    Andrea_S, Sep 2026
    It is a very pleasant hike with stops where you can take photos, contemplate the landscape, eat, and go to the bathroom. Marko was a wonderful guide and informed us about all the routes very clearly. There was no possibility of getting lost. Very good experience, we were left wanting more.

    Ilaria_D, Aug 2026
    Perfectly organized tour. Both Sara and Marco proved to be 2 helpful people; Sara by accommodating my booking requests and Marco, with his friendliness, made the excursion a pleasant experience.. I recommend that anyone visit the Plitvice Lakes by choosing their agency Another special thanks to Marco from the girls from Naples.
