Wonderful place to visit
David_C

An early start - 6.20am from Trogir and then to Split to pick up rest of group going to Park, made the journey long. Our guide Ivanka was brilliant- a person who is clearly in love with Plitvice. Using the “train” up and walking back was ideal. With Ivanka explains everything we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The lunch stop was an excellent place - great selection of food, vary tasty and good value. Throughout the day everything was perfect - making up for the journey to and back.

Every step of the way about the Plitvice Lakes National Park was a memorable one which would remain etched in our mind for ever.
Peter our guide was absolutely brilliant and his communication skills, knowledge and history of Croatia was excellent
Long day but well worth it!

Great day at the national park. Elena our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us ample time to explore the lakes/waterfalls. She was also a really great photographer!
Excellent excursion with once in a lifetime views

Great tour

Overall great trip. The gas station stops halfway were a nice break. The guide was great! (Sorry I forget his name) and the parks were beautiful! The only negative was most people were not wearing masks inside the bus I would have liked the company to enforce that
Beautiful place, great experience 👍

Had a fabulous time at plitvice Lakes, the lakes were stunning, our tour guide Oliver was fantastic he was friendly and chatty, knowledgeable and organised and offered to take photos for the group at different points which was appreciated by all.
The lunch stop served burgers, sandwiches and chips ect, something to note is they are only taking card payments so do bring a bank card.
We stopped off at a service station on the way there and on the way back and we was made aware of all toilet facilities when at the park also.
We travelled on a full size bus with only 20 of us in the group which was nice as there was lots of space and felt more covid safe as we wasn't cramped up- please keep doing this it is worth it and appreciated👍 we were asked to pop masked on when on bus's and boats too.
It was a great day, didn't feel like too much of a rush either which was nice! Thank you Oliver!
Stunning place - but a not so great local tour guide m
Olivia_D

The Plivitice national park is absolutely stunning. Definitely recommend visiting if you are in Croatia.
Only downside: the local guide tour (Gray Lines Agency).
The bus air conditioner was broken and we were suffocating during the 3h hour trip to Plivitice. The tour guide was rude and always rushing us. We did not have time to take pictures or just enjoy the different sceneries. The whole group of 50 people that we were was mad at him. He only gave us 10 min to eat in the park out of a total tour of 6h and then we had a random stop at 4pm to eat at a “local restaurant” were we had to pay for expensive food…
The thing that really irked me was the fact that they made us pay 250 HKR for the park entrance and actually in the tickets it was written 180 HKR for the price. Given that we already paid 55 dollars per person for the trip + experience, making us pay 10$ more on the Park Entrance ticket for no reason seemed a bit sneaky.
Conclusion: VISIT the park. It’s is stunning. Totally worth it. BUT I would not recommend the local tour guide we had.

Fantastic tour
Ashley_B

I will start this review with the one con of this tour. In the write up of the tour it mentions a train ride, which is actually not offered on this tour. I’m not sure if it is something offered during other seasons since we were there at peak tourist season and a train might not have been doable with a lot of people. The description should be updated nonetheless.
Now for the tour. The 2.5 hour journey to the falls is actually not bad, and we stopped for a bathroom break and coffee about halfway through the trip (we did this coming back to Split too). The tour guide lets you take a bit of a nap too since the start time to the day is so early, but did give a good initial brief at the beginning of the trip and a little ways out from the park gave some other interesting information. We paid the entrance fee at the departure point before getting in the van so when we got to the falls as the guide got our tickets we were able to do another bathroom break. Once we got into the park, the guide did a great job of giving us a good time hack and let us go explore and take pictures at our own leisure. She met up with the group at different points (there was about 20 of us) and then explained the next portion of the park we were going to enter and then let us walk and take pictures on our own again. She checked in with us throughout our time in the park, but never made us feel rushed. We spent about 20 minutes about halfway through our time in the park to use the bathroom again and get a snack. The park does take about 4 hours to get through, but it is absolutely beautiful and an amazing piece of Croatia and nature to witness. On our way home we stopped for lunch around 3 PM at a very good restaurant not far from the falls.
Ivanka was our guide and I cannot express enough how great she was as a tour guide. Our driver was fantastic too! This is a really good tour and I highly recommend it to anyone that truly values the awe of nature.

Stunning natural beauty, long car ride
Jessica_L
, Jul 2021
Pluses: I've seen videos of this place and seeing it in real life didn't disappoint. Even a little rain didn't dampen our experience.
Cons: it's a 2.5 hr ride in a van from Split, so if you have restless kids, it might be a challenge. I was glad that I didn't have to do the drive myself and can just relax in the van.
Note: I was a little confused by the pick up point. So make sure you clarify the meeting spot in the morning, since it's quite early and could be a little stressful.

Breathtaking

This place is breathtaking. At first we were unsure if it was going to be worth the 3 hour drive from Split, but I highly recommend this tour. No you won’t get to swim the lake, but you will be blown away by how beautiful this place is. Our photos look great but none of them did this place justice.
Our guide Pietar was informative, funny and made great recommendations. Definitely one of the highlights of our time in Split.

Andrej was the most amazing guide. He is very passionate about what he does. He provided us with so many information about the country. I was traveling with my 2 year old and he was very patient and helpful. Recommended many places which have been worth visiting. Definitely doing this trip again when I come back.

Great day out!

Clear and colourful lakes, nice views albeit a little cold in October
Joy F

It's best to wear layers that provide some warmth as the Park is located near a common place where they experience great winds certain time of the year called Bura wind. Be prepared to walk for 4 hours and more to experience the entire park. Our Guide Petar is really a good planner. We followed the trail labelled 'H' and we start off high ground so we're mainly walking downhill most of the time so the elder folks could also enjoy the park. Then we took the boat ride and continued on the lower part of the lake before finishing off with the tallest waterfall at 87m as the highlight of the day. Note that you will definitely have a lat lunch at around 3pm so prepare some snacks and sandwiches to have it along the way.
Park was amazing the guide was not

Plitvice park is beautiful park. I have never seen anything like it. The beautiful blue water and the boat the ride. Be careful of your belongings and be careful while walking on the trails. The only thing I disliked about this trip is the guide, He had a very bad attitude. He might go to this par everyday but for I will go there only once in my life. He did not give us enough time anywhere except for the big water falls. I could not take any good pictures or take any pictures for that matter. I do not recommend doing this tour with this agency. I have done several other tours with Grayline in all over europe but this by far is the worst among all. Rent a car and go by your self and you will have plenty of time to walk around and you won't be hustled by the guide. I understand that he has to keep about 35 people in check however he should also understand that this is once in a lifetime thing for tourists like me. NOT RECOMMENDED
Response from Host , Nov 2019
Hi,
Thank you for your honest review, we appreciate it.
If you wanted to visit park mostly for taking pictures, then you could have visited it on your own. Since you've travelled all over the Europe you probably understand that the guide cannot wait for you or anybody else with the rest of 30-40 people until you make a photo. That will not end up as a good tour, people won't be satisfied and you will not see all the places. Our primary and only goal is to show you the beauty of every place we visit and to give you more information about each place. However, we do stop on some places where you have a couple of minutes to take a photo. We are not guilty if you need more time to prepare yourself to take a photo of the landscape. One more thing to mention, all our guides are professional and experienced, what you can see from 99% of other reviews for the Lakes.
Kind regards.
A wonderful day

We enjoyed our visit to Plitvice Nationsl Park immensely - the tour was well organised, our guide enthusiastic and informed and the lakes were superb and stunning in colour and sound and beauty. A most enjoyable day.

Most amazing place. Water running everywhere. Beautiful turquoise color. Not for the frail though - lots of walking on uneven trails and boardwalks.

We were underimpressed with our visit to this park. The throngs of tourists were stifling. We had one guide for 45 of us so were unable to hear what he was saying most of the time. He arrived late to our starting time and did not really seem to want to be there. We will not recommend this tour to our friends.
