Highly recommend!! - We can highly recommend this tour company! Our guide was amazing! His name is Dom and he is very knowledgeable. He took very good care of us today on our tour of the beautiful lakes. He didn’t try to rush us through. He was very kind to show us all of the best spots. We avoided large crowds because of his knowledge. He made sure to get us close to the entrance of the park, and for parking. He recommended that we do the upper and lower falls. We took his suggestion and we’re glad we did. Afterwards, he took us to a very nice restaurant. We highly recommend this tour company. If we are ever in the area again, we will for sure use them.

Highly recommended to visit the Plitvice Waterfalls this way. - We had a fantastic day at the Plitvice Waterfalls. When entering the office of WandererTravelZagreb, it immediately felt good. The service was great. We had a great day at the Plitvice Lakes. During the 2-hour ride, the driver Tony told us in detail about the history, culture, people of Croatia and Zagreb in a pleasant way. On the way we stopped in the charming village of Rastoke. In Plitvice, the driver gave us very good tips at the start of the walk on how to do the tour in the most pleasant way, which ensured that we could fully enjoy this natural beauty.

A full day of natural beauty and peace! - This was the highlight of the holiday my husband and I spent in Croatia. Both places are so peaceful enjoying nature in its fulness. It was a long great day well spent. The lady working with Wanderer Travel, Ms Dina was really helpful. She guided us well and she gave us the right information. She arranged to us the pick up so close to our lodging. The driver guide, Mr Hrvoje was exceptional. He is really a gentleman. His knowledge is vast and not only that, he showed us what others do not see. If we had to go on our own, we would not know and experience half of what we learnt thanks to Ms Dina and Mr Hrvoje. Well done and thank you.

MUST GO - The kindness of the staff is like the Plitvice lake itself, very friendly, welcoming and warm. The staff took us to the origin of the lakes which was not even included in the tour and gives us the most spectacular view ever. Not to mention the sophistication of the staff can sufficiently supply any your curious questions from the lake's formation to history of local towns.

Hrvoje, the guide was amazing. The tour fantastic. We would happily do it again. - The tour was easy enough to book online, with the option of paying on the day. I’ve received the drivers info the day before and he was even able to pick us up from our place of stay (and to drop us off). The trip there and back was very pleasant, with some good tips from the guide/driver. They were also the ones who reserved our tickets for the actual Plitvice park. Hrvoje (our guide/driver) had some great advice on where to go and what to do in the park, and has given us clear instructions to be able to follow through. He was very knowledgeable about more than just the lakes and was happy to share that knowledge with us. Hrvoje really went above and beyond to show us as much as he possibly could. We would recommend the tour and Hrvoje to anyone.

Breathtaking Plitvice - We were staying in Zagreb for a few days and decided on the Plitvice Lakes trip. It was one of the best ever day trips in Europe that we have experienced. Our driver, Hrvoje, was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. We were a small group of 3, with a total age of 225 years, and he was only too willing to adjust and tweak the schedule to suit our needs. Nothing was too much trouble. The Plitvice Lakes and Waterfalls, plus the stop en route at Rastoke, were magical and it all made for a perfect day that we shall never forget.

Plivitce lakes and Rastoke - The ladies in the agency were extremely helpful and friendly and gave good advise. The trip itself was well worth doing, we had a comfortable mini bus with a lovely driver called Darko to whom nothing was too much trouble. The lakes and waterfalls were amazingly beautiful and there were a number of different trails. We would highly recommend it
