Topnotch Experience - Bojan is the best guide ever! He is intelligent, funny, and kind. If you are in Zagreb and want to see Plitvice lakes, go with Bojan. His tour is well-organized and very informative. He communicated clearly, even before the tour started. We were in a group of six with an elderly grandpa. He kept a good pace to ensure grandpa made it all the way through the tour. He took us along paths that avoided crowded queues and maximized our appreciation for the park. Truly a topnotch experience!

A MUST DO from Zagreb! - My wife and I have been on many excellent guided tours in various parts of the world. Without a doubt, Bojan was SUCH an outstanding guide, entertaining us with so many interesting cultural and historical stories about the areas we visited and all the way up to the Balkens and Europe as a whole. The van was very comfortable with excellent air conditioning and visibility. The trip was VERY well organized to optimize our time - especially in the tricks Bojan knew to help us avoid long lines. He clearly knew how to run a fun, informative, and entertaining trip. A MUST DO!!!

Great & beautiful experience!!! - This is definitely the best tour ever and I highly recommend booking it. Plitvice are truly beautiful, but this trip was excellent thanks to our guide Bojan who is extremely knowledgeable. The tour was well organized and I enjoyed it even more because it was a small group (there were 7 of us). The small town of Rastoke, where we stopped before Plitvice Lakes, is also beautiful and charming. The guide taught us so much about Croatian culture and history, not just about Plitvice Lakes! He also knew all the shortcuts to avoid the crowds while still seeing the park and taking great pictures. Highly recommend Pegasus and Bojan

Unforgettable day - We had absolutely amazing day . This place is magical, like from fairy tale . The tour was really very well organised , clear instructions for pick up , comfortable ride and very well planned tour with enough breaks for drinks , food and rest . But the best of all was our guide Bojan - who knew so much about the history of the place , how to avoid big crowds , but still see all of the important sites - lower and upper lakes . We are not very fit , mostly walk occasionally but we managed to complete whole tour and not to feel tired . I would strongly recommend this tour and this particular agency - Pegasus travel .

Pearl of Croatia with a perfect group - This was a once in a lifetime experience. Tour guide is awsome and professional. I am so glad that I took a small group tour, because I think people in the buses can not experience 20 percent of that that we all did. I am so glad that i decited to go to Plitvice, pearl of Croatia, with a Pegasus trave. Thank you
