Wonderful experience!

Absolutely stunning park! The most beautiful blue/green water we’ve ever seen and waterfalls beyond belief! Our guide, Ivanka, was a fantastic host! She brought so much energy, knowledge, and caring for the group to ensure everyone enjoyed the experience!

Highly recommend!

Our guide, Ivanka and driver Micky, we're extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic! The tour was very organized, I felt like we had enough time at the park to explore. The guide was very knowledgeable and had great golden retriever energy! I would highly recommend this tour! It's a bonus if you get Ivanka as your tour guide :)

Mire Beautiful Kaikki hyvin

Mia Kemi kaluar nje dite shume te mire dhe vendi ishte shume i mrekudheshem liqenet ishin te bukura do doja te shkoje edhe nje here te shetise atje. Falemimderit shume per ndihmen qe na dhate. Today we had an excursion to the Plitvite Lakes with guide Mia, we advise you this excursion, which is absolutely beautiful, but you need to be in good shape, as the pace of walking is fast, top down the slides and stairs, Mia was very careful to make sure that no one fell behind, that we all stayed in the group and always counted us, which is very important and nice, also thank you for your help and concern for us, if you are pregnant on this excursion, we advise you to inform the guide, Mia told us the easier way in the middle of the journey, that my pregnant wife was easier and not in bad shape, the rest of the way Mia asked for my wife's condition, after she was in bad shape in the middle of the journey, thank you for the excursion and the beautiful guide Mia. Kiitos paljon tästä mahtavasta retkestä Mialle, Mia oli aina lähellä ja apuna, Mia huolehti tosi hyvin hänen ryhmästä, koko ajan tarkisti ja laski, että kaikki on paikalla ja ettei kukaan jää yksin perälle, hän myös auttoi meitä ja suositteli meille helpompaa reittiä keskivaiheessa, koska vaimoni on raskaana ja hänelle tuli huono olo, suosittelemme hyvää fyysistä kuntoa, koska kävelyn tahti on reipas, on ylä ja ala mäkiä ja portaita ylös ja alas, erilainen maaperä, josmenet raskaana tälle retkelle, suosittelemme sanomaan tästä asiasta ryhmän ylläjälle, niin hän osaa neuvoa sinun voimien mukaan reittiä. Kiitos!

It’s a long day but so...

It’s a long day but so worth it! The lakes are pristine and beautiful. Ivanka was a fabulous guide and the most helpful genuine person. Micky the driver had the best song playlist of any tour we have ever done. Great day.
