  1. From Zagreb: Plitvice Lakes Full-Day Private Tour

  Depart Zagreb and journey to the small village of Rastoke near the city of Slunj. Enjoy a cup of coffee surrounded by beautiful waterfalls and a delightful river. Get an introduction to Plitvice Lakes National Park, where the locals live in harmony with nature. Take a tour of the 16 lakes inside the park, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and part of the amazing rock formations of the Dinara karst area. Re-energize at a local dairy farm, where you can taste many varieties of domestic cheese before going to the Museum of Croatian War of Independence, located in the former backyard of a ruined Austro-Hungarian military base in Karlovac.

  A private tour is the only way to go! If you can afford it, the experience is well worth the cost.

  This transfer from Zagreb to Split was perfect! I wanted to see Plitvice Lakes on the way so that’s why I booked this instead of a cheaper bus. The guide picked me up at my hotel and we set off to Plitvice with a shirt coffee stop alike the way. Tin was a wonderful guide and told me so much about the history of the area. He even took me all over the Lakes which I wasn’t expecting so that really helped. I didn’t have to figure out the best ways to go. He showed me! Once in Split he helped me find my hidden little apartment and even carried my bag upstairs for me. Door to door service and such a pleasant guy. I couldn’t have asked for a better day. Thank you!
