We had the most awesome, informative tour ever. Our guide Bojan was out of this world and changed my mind about guided tours. He was so polite, respectful, cheeky and overflowing with information that no question stomped him. He had the times right on to the second and perfectly timed all of the stops to make sure we had toilet breaks, food and souvenirs and of course the best spots to take the photos.

It was a wonderful experience. Plitvice is beautiful. Everything was perfect. The tour guide was really helpful and informative. He gave us ample time to take photos. The trip was comfortable too.

Amazing trip, would recommend this activity to everyone looking to explore Plitvice!

The trip was worth the money.. The guide was also very informative...
