We visited Krka first time and it was pre-season so there was not very crowded in the park and during our trip. The weather was not the best, but it was fully compensated by our tour guides (Marco and Bojan) which were absolutely phenomenal. Even if it could be ugliest place in whole Croatia, with those guys you would be 100% happy and would like to repeat this trip again as soon as possible :D Very reliable, informative and helpful travel agency - fully recommend them.

I was truly impressed by our trip to the waterfall! It was a delightful experience, made even better by our guide, Sanja. She passionately shared insights into the city's history and Dalmatia, along with highlighting all the scenic spots along the way. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to assist with any questions made the journey even more enjoyable.

Nicely arrenged activity with clear directions from the very beginning. Boat cruise was cancelled due to bad weather but we got advanced intimation about that. Our Tour guide Sanja coordinated well during Krka, Skradin and wine tasting. During return got stuck in Split traffic for 1hr extra due to Soccer match. Overall enjoyable experience.

The tour guide, Sanja, was indeed the wonderful guide. The Krka waterfall was dynamic, and wine tasting was memorable. We enjoyed the tour so much. I think it worth joining.

It was a perfect balance between being guided and free time
