The bus was very comfortable. At the end of the trip in Plitvice we missed our guide and were not able to find our bus, but they called me few times and came to take us. With this, they showed us that they are really taking care of customers. It is worth and highly recommended tour.

Had a lovely time on this day trip, definitely worth it to see the beautiful park. The guide was great and did a good job to allow us time to enjoy the walk without it being rushed.
