Tomislav was an amazing tour guide, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The bus driver, Sebastian, was amazing. Smoothest bus ride. It was easy to find the meeting spot and get checked off the list. Tomislav checked in multiple times throughout the day to see how people were travelling and how we were all feeling. He was very clear about what to expect, arrival times and departure times at each destination. The parks were amazing. If you enjoy nature, definitely worth going.

Full description

Leave Zagreb and head to the Lika region. The first stop on the itinerary is the picturesque watermill village of Rastoke, located at the confluence of the Slunjčica and Korana rivers. Take a stroll through the town to admire the unique rural architecture.

The tour continues on to Plitvice Lakes National Park. This is Croatia’s oldest and most visited national park, listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.

For centuries, water has formed waterfalls and created 16 crystal-clear lakes in this area. Enjoy the outstanding natural beauty of the forest landscape and the lakes that are connected by a series of waterfalls.

Board an electric boat to cross Lake Kozjak (20-minute ride) and learn more about karst formations and the abundant animal life in the park. Become one with nature, enjoy the clean fresh air, and marvel at the breathtaking views that surround you.

The guide will be with you and your small group throughout the day, and will share some interesting stories about the areas you visit and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Tour leader was excellent although he might introduce 5 minute stops more often... felt like a continous rush sometimes. Couch was ok, maybe a more comfortable one would enhance the experience but generally ok. the tour itself and the places we visited are breathtaking and extraordinary.
