Totally recommend. Great experience! - From the moment you get to the bureau you know you’re in professional, rutined, structured settings. We could find our guide by her green flag, our bracelets were color coded and our guide, Sonja, took such good care of us. She knows so much about everything we meet on our way, and sets the mood for the tour with big smiles and jokes. I had bought the selfguided tour, so I didn’t get to hear her during the park visit. But she dressed us up so well in everything we needed to know about the tour. Both practical and fun facts. She even did a quick and fun quiz on the route so we wouldn’t get lost. In the bus she made a Whats App group so she could guide us all through there and so that we could ask questions should we need it. I felt so entertained by her humor, the park was gorgeous and I got so much value for the price. I’m so glad I got this experience through Booker instead of going by myself. August is a “dry” month. So the cascading waterfalls are pretty but not that big. Would 110% come there only for the lakes though.

Perfect Plitvice Lakes Day Trip - Amazing day trip with Antonia. The prospect of a 12 hour day trip from split seemed a bit much but Antonia kept the tempo going and nothing dragged out. The stops were perfectly timed for necessary breaks. Antonia provided just the right amount of commentary while touring the park. Her enthusiasm enhanced our experience. The trip was fast paced - certainly would be tough for those with mobility challenges. All in all a 5/5 Experience. Thank you for an amazing day.

A must see! - Did a self guided tour of the national park. Had such a wonderful experience-the park is beautiful, pristine, relaxing and mesmerising. It apparently wasn’t too busy given its peak tourist season so it was the perfect condition to relax and take in the view. Appreciated that the tour guide provided some context of Split during the bus ride which enriched my perspective of the region im travelling in. The journey was long (I didn’t realise it was 3 hrs each way) but the bus was clean, had good aircon and amazing views so it was an enjoyable journey. You do a pit stop half way to stretch your legs and get food. Highly recommend bringing your own food as they advise so you aren’t queuing to get food in the park. The journey is definitely worth it because the park is beautiful and unique. Antonia the tour guide was phenomenal with a positive disposition, enthusiasm and genuine passion which rubbed off and made the overall experience great. It was a pretty big multicultural group with different styles of travellers (solo, couples, families etc.) but I think she did good being attentive to everyone. Also appreciated that she relayed all the info on what to expect as far as traffic, where to go, water, sunscreen, journey time etc. She’s phenomenal in a customer service role and id book a tour with whatever agency she’s working with because I know I’d have a positive experience

Wonderful Waterfalls - Such a fantastic tour. The scenery, weather and of course our tour guide, Sanja, exceeded our expectations. The tour was extremely well organised and the perfect length of time. Sanja was wonderfully engaging and funny as well as being super informative about the environment and history of the park. We would thoroughly recommend it!
