Memorable! - Plitvice is beautiful even in the poring rain! Ivan, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. He did a great job and even came prepared with extra rain ponchos and umbrellas, which we definitely were able to use. Highly recommend both Ivan and Plitvice.

Fantastic day trip - I had a great time at the Plitvice lakes and Rastokes. Ivan was very knowledgeable on the history and conservation of the UNESCO site and did a great job explaining everything. He ensured the whole group had a great time and was safe.
He made adjustments when needed.

A magical land of waterfalls - It was a hot and steamy day when I went but the beauty of the lakes made me forget that part. What I didn’t realize was the amount of walking which we would have to accomplish. We learned once we arrived. We walked for about 4 hours so if you’re not up for an endurance hike I would suggest your skip this trip. However; I did it and and happy to have seen a beautiful park. It was worth the visit

10/10 experience! - Suggested by my sister, I choose the tour which had a maximum of 8 people. I can honestly not promote this trip enough, the views are unforgettable. However having paid slightly more to have less people and be in a minibus with Air conditioning - it was worth it. Other tours had no/limited guidance or explanation of the routes or park. Whereas our guide had a nuanced understanding of the park and country which was interesting but also very important. Important because there are sections where queues can build up (one being probably more than 2 hours) but our guide knew of all the best and most efficient routes to access the best view without any waiting. He was extremely passionate about both the park and his country, and having participated in many of these trips/excursions before I am aware of the difference a good guide makes. Our guide Juran Ivan Perisic was exceptional, I think the best guide that I have encountered. He helped other groups when lost, answered many questions from our group and others. Furthermore the pace was excellent and small things like him dropping us off while he parked in the shade allowed us to look at things while he parked the minibus in the shade resulting in a seamless day. I cannot recommend Ivan or the company enough!

Good experience. Bit expensive. - Had a good day during this tour. Ride was comfortable. Rastoke is very small village. Plitvice National Park is beautiful but prepare your self to walk and walk and walk. Plenty of shade. Entrance ticket is 40eur so paying 90eur for the trip itself was a bit over priced.
