Spectacular, informative, absorbing. - What an incredible experience it was to have Marko as our guide to Plitvice National Park and Rastoke village. Being winter, one is never sure of the weather conditions and perhaps many parts of the National Park are closed, but we were all so lucky, enjoying the wonders of the natural landscape, waterfalls, lakes, short hikes, a boat ride and magical images in a group of 8 people. We were incredibly impressed with Marko’s knowledge of everything to do with Croatia, it’s history, natural treasures, culture, food, international significance and all matter of related novelties and meaning maintaining the interest for everyone. Marko’s sense of leadership, generosity, character, personality, sincerity and warmth allowed for the day to be completely fulfilled!

Highly recommended - Tour guide was very informative and entertaining, knowledgeable about both the Plitvice Lakes and croatian culture, cuisine, etc. with some great recommendations regardless of the planned activity. Entire trip was very comfortable and fun and the lakes themselves can't get enough praise. Gorgeous waterfalls and lakes, especially idyllic in the wintertime while parts are still frozen.

A great trip out to the... - A great trip out to the lakes from Zagreb. Communication was clear and everything ran on time. Marin, our guide, was friendly and knowledgable. We were so lucky to visit after lots of snow but on a day when the sun shone and the skies were blue.

The best guide we could have asked for! - This has been one of the best tours we’ve done! The area was beautiful and our guide marco was incredible! His knowledge and love of the area really comes through in the tour and we would 100% do it again and again with marco as our guide! We visited in a major snow storm and worried we wouldn’t be able to get there but he made us feel so safe driving through the snow and then guided us around every inch of the park we were allowed to in the conditions We plan to come back in better weather to see the rest Thank you so much marco you’ve made our trip to Zagreb!

Memorable winter experience at the lakes - We had an amazing time on the way to the lakes at the scenic and historic Rastoke village which had cascading waterfalls which were particularly magical with snow falling during January. The lakes themselves were stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed walking around the snowy national park to see the lower lakes and their waterfalls. Another highlight was crossing one of the large lakes by boat which gave us beautiful panoramic views. Our guide Sasha was informative and friendly, making sure that we got the best photo opportunities and taking us along an enjoyable route. This place is amazing in winter and less busy so don’t be deterred by the cold weather!
