Worthwhile long day?

Long bus ride, picturesque park with beautiful views, crowded with many congested areas. Guide well-intentioned but didn’t provide any information about the area and its sites during actual time in the park. Timing for planned “lunch” made no sense. Enjoyed the day overall as our one opportunity to explore Croatia beyond the Dalmatian Coast.

Plitvice is a must if you are sightseeing in Croatia. The national park is spectacular and the visit from Split with our guide Mia was wonderful, an unforgettable experience thanks to her joy and willingness to explain all aspects of the visit. In addition, she was very attentive that no one was left behind and answered all our questions with a smile on her face.
