“A wonderful day out, meeting point was really easy to locate and as per map point. Booked 10am trip. Coach journey was a delayed due to latecomers (frustrating for everyone waiting) and also traffic. Tour guide collected cash for Krka tickets whilst en route on the bus and distributed tickets before entrance, 1hr45mins free at the park and VERY clear instructions of the meeting point plus recommendations of park walking routes to best utilise the time following the yellow line/wooden bridge route. 2 hours in Skradin was more than enough for a small but beautiful place. Beach at Skradin is a pebble beach but very pleasant and super clear waters.…”

Book your Plitvice Lakes entry in advance, then explore independently by boardwalk, shuttle bus, and electric boat. Choose Entrance 1 or 2, arrive within 55 minutes of your time, and plan for hills, crowds, and several hours of walking. Guides such as Leopold and Dalibor belong to separate guided outings.

“I had a perfect day with an experienced guide Karlo who helped me out with everything I needed. He suggested leaving earlier than originally scheduled to avoid the crowd and the heat, and this was a very wise idea. We left at 6:00AM and got to the park before the big crowd arrived (much later, there was a long line of people waiting for admission) and I was able to enjoy the scenery, the fresh air, and everything I saw. I am glad I chose this tour because I think this is something that would be difficult for a group tour to offer. Karlo was very knowledgeable, explained about the…”

The breakfast sandwich was fresh - very fresh - you could tell that they had been made that morning. The trip took us to Kornati, where we stopped for lunch. We did not expect too much, however the lunch was great - a salad starter, grilled pork cutlet, grilled fish with potato, and water/orange squash/red or white wine. The scenery was great - and we really enjoyed ourselves.Read more”
