Good tour with a very Professional Guide!

HUGO_S, May 2024

Tour very well organized, with a very professional Guide. I reccomend it for sure! I did this tour on May, and it's a right period to do that. On summer I think it will be terrible with so much tourist!

Fantastic lake tour

Nicholas_M, May 2024

This is a really great tour which allows you to see the highlights of the lakes. The best part is that you get to walk through the lakes and embrace the nature instead of being stuck in a tour bus for extended periods. We had a great day of weather and managed to avoid most of the crowds thanks to our excellent tour guide, Sasha! All around a terrific time!

Astounding Tour

Bernie_G, May 2024

The tour is absolutely stunning. Though it’s a kilometric but enjoyable. Our guide, Marko, is very diligent and accommodating! Cheers!!

Don’t Miss This One

Gloria_S, May 2024

This was an amazing experience! It is one of the most beautiful places on Earth! The tour was great from picking us up at our hotel, taking us through the park, giving lots of interesting details about what we were seeing, and getting us safely back. I wouldn’t try this one on my own. Having the guided tour was worth every penny. Eva was a great guide and answered all of our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our day!

Great experience

Max_D, May 2024

Plitvice is a "must see". The tour was very enjoyable thanks to the very competent and friendly guide.

Lakes tour

Laurie_K, Apr 2024

This was an amazingly beautiful hike. I am a 55 year old woman in good shape and I did not think the hike was too difficult. Our guide knew what to see and how to avoid crowds as much as possible. It was well worth the money.

Response from Host, May 2024

Dear Laurie, many thanks for this amazing review and booking your tours with us. Looking forward meeting you again in Croatia! Take care!

You’ll FALL in love with this area!

Randy_G, Apr 2024

It’s something you don’t want to miss. The beauty of Croatia is awesome. Well worth the trip. We were told spring was the best time to go due to the crowds in the summer.

Wonderful trip absolutely beautiful

Claire_H, Apr 2024

This was a fabulous day out. We lucked out with the weather . The fantastic Sasha was our guide and he made it awesome! So much knowledge on history and geography. He knew the lakes like the back of his hand and managed to avoid large queues and cover the whole park. The scenery was breathtaking. Easy walking and a chilled pace.

A wonderful day exploring Plitvice Lakes and Rastokeke

Roberta_O, Mar 2024

Our gide was excellent in introducing us to the highlights of Croatia, specifically Rastoke and Plitvice Lakes National Park. She provided a wealth of relevant information about Croatia and kept us moving so we could experience as much as possible in one day. The lakes were spectacular, and the changes in the weather added to the excitement for the day.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Amazing Trip, Even In The Rain

Bill_B, Mar 2024

This was a really great experience. Katiya was an excellent guide, giving us lots of great info and leading us through the park. She even made arrangements for us to stop at a truffle shop on the way back. Pictures don't do justice to how amazing this trip is! Highly recommend.

One of the best tour I did

MargaretSP_K, Nov 2023

We were late in getting to the meeting place. Long story short, the lady staff who called us locate us and re-route our new meeting locator so much so we had a coffee and wait for our tour guide to come by to pick us. I didn’t get her name, Thank you. Our tour guide Marko went an extra mile to show us the beautiful lake both from the lower to upper lake. We acquired much through his explanation and despite his reminder for us to be on time for the boat ride, we missed it. His professionalism and patience- I would recommended him. Most of all, it is value for money.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Many thanks for booking your day trip with us and posting this 5 star review. Best regards from Lucy (lady stuff :)) and the rest of pathfinder tours team!
