Had an amazing day on this trip. The Plitvice Lakes and waterfalls are breathtaking but what really set the Tour apart was our guide, Anton. His awareness of the best spots and pathways kept us, as much as possible, out of the biggest hordes of tourists, and his knowlegde was unparalleled. I learned so much during our bus ride about Zadar, about Dalmatia, about Croatia, its geography, history, food...Truly a pleasure.

Overall good experience. Guide was helpful and friendly, but when we got there the place was busy and it felt a little like herded sheep, so there wasn't too much opportunity to hear from him. Most of the stops were at junctions, so it felt a little hurried through the bits we had gone to see. I know it wasn't the fault of the guide, but it did seem a shame. On a good note, we drove there through a very scenic route and heard lots about Zadar and its surroundings. There were a couple of silly drivers on the road and the coach driver excellently avoided a collision.

Fantastic tour and adventure! The park is amazing and very peaceful and the Plitvice Lakes are definitely the Croatian must-see. The color of the water is absolutely mind-blowing. Beautiful place! The tour itself is very well organised and it is as written in the description. One clarification - it is 4-hour tour (with break and boat trip included), not only walking. Last but not least, big big THANK YOU to our tour guide Lydia - incredibly positive, smiling and warm person. She gave us a lot of interesting and important informations about park and lakes. This tour and the whole experience wouldn't be the same without her.
