Highlights
  • Plitvice Lakes National Park - Plitvice are known as a natural phenomenon because they keep changing through sedimentation of calcium carbonate and create special kinds of algae and moss, tufa or travertine which has been deposited and is still deposited to form the natural dams that separate the lakes. Since the process is ongoing today, just as it always has, new travertine barriers, curtains, stalactites, channels, and cascades are built as the existing ones keep changing. So it doesn’t matter if you have visited the lakes before, they probably look different now, so you can visit them again and never be bored. Besides the lakes, there are some interesting caves in which remains of prehistoric settlements have been found.

From the Windy City - This was just what we were looking for! We had coffee and a pastry on the street before meeting our guide and group. There are some places that are open before 7:30 AM. After meeting up with our group, we hopped on a bus for about 2 hours. Our guide was FABULOUS! They explained the country and gave fun facts in the process. We stopped at a gas station. If you didn’t eat before, this is where you should eat before the walk. Another 2 hr drive to get to the park. Once we arrived, our 2 groups split up (self guided/guided). We were in the self guided tour. Despite the bigger groups and rain, the park was beautiful! We definitely got our steps in and took beautiful pictures! Thank you Antonia!

Magical Plitvice - Although the deluge the evening before our trip to Plitvice was annoying, the result was some of the most amazing waterfalls possible! Our guide Antonia was truly exceptional -- incredibly knowledgeable about the local history, folklore, and more, presented with passion and a sense of humor. Highly recommend this specific tour, and request Antonia if possible. A truly magical day!

Great day, even with nasty weather! - This trip was super easy to book and the Booker tour group was very easy to locate using Google maps right under a km from the Riva area. Though the weather was cool and wet, our guide Antonia was positive, gracious, and professional and made the trip great!. This was a great option for couples and small groups that want a taste of Plitvice Lakes but aren’t looking to drive up on their own. We appreciated the option to do self guided and walk at our own pace. We Would definitely come back to Plitvice and do more tours with Antonia!
