Highlights
  • Rastoke - A watermill village situated where the blue-green waters of river Slunjcica flows into the Korana river.
    Most of the houses were built at the end of the 19th and the beginning o-f the 20th century.
  • Plitvice Lakes National Park - Plitvice Lakes is Croatia’s best known national park and the only Croatian natural jewel that is on the UNESCO List of World Heritage sites.
    The main attractions of this park, unique in the world, are the 16 small lakes joined by waterfalls created by the sedimentation of travertine,
    a special type of limestone. This national park encompasses the source of the river Korana, located in the area surrounded by dense forests of
    beech, fir and spruce. There are also several caves in the park, as well as springs and flowering meadows. The brown bear stands out as one
    of many protected animal species. The popularity of this park is also boosted by the special means of transport used to ferry visitors around:
    the panoramic electric trains and the noiseless electro-powered boats.

Perfect day trip - We had a wonderful day traveling from Zagreb to Split. Our driver, Dario, was excellent, helpful, punctual, and a very good driver. Dario seemed very comfortable with our slightly boisterous crowd and was accommodating to any special requests. The sprinter van was very comfortable for 6 of us. The Plitvice Lakes were beautiful - the photos do not do justice to the beauty and intimacy one experiences with the lakes and falls. Our tour included a guide (Maria) within the park and she was super helpful and had great energy. This was the perfect way to get us from Zagreb to Spilt!

Great experience - We had a great day transferring Zagreb to Split. 1st stop was at Rastoke with a wander around town and coffee. Then onto Plitvice Lakes for about 4 hrs of amazing scenery with waterfalls that just kept on flowing. Thank you to our wonderful driver Marco for your guidance and information.

Wonderful! - Marco was our private guide and transfer driver. He was very knowledgeable and despite it absolutely pouring down rain in the Plitvice National Lakes he never slowed down the tour, kept checking in with us to make sure we were doing good. He didn't cut the tour short. We so appreciated him from the beginning of the tour and transfer to the ending. Excellent!

Excellent guide in Marko ! - We had Marko as our driver/ guide. We enjoyed the entire time from the pick-up at the Zagreb airport for transfer to Plitvice Lakes, the guided tour of the lakes the next morning and finally transfer on to Split. Marko was an excellent guide in the Plitvice Lakes Park. We did 4 hours under his guidance in the park and felt like we did the park justice as we had such a short timeframe in which to visit. He had excellent commentary about the park and was genuinely pleasant person to spend time with in the spectacular setting that is Plitvice Lakes. I had excellent communication with Zagreb transfers and highly recommend based on that and our time with Marko.

Convenient transfer between Zagreb and Split with a tour included - Special thanks to our driver Vjeran for making our transfer very smooth. He came on time and we rode in a comfortable van with enough space to accommodate all our luggages. We requested for an earlier arrival in Split and he was able to accommodate our request with minor changes to our tour itinerary. Very professional and easy to get along with. Highly recommended!

Wonderful, professional and reliable service!!! - I am a Japanese travel coordinator and I organized a tour in Croatia for a small group. I have contacted by email and soon I was assured that this company is faithful. Marko is not only a driver but also an experienced mountain guide. He is very flexible and gave me many information and useful ideas. During the tour he was so kind and attentive to my clients, so all of us were satisfied with his service and hospitality ;-) I am sure that I will ask him again next time! Recommended!!

Sightseeing and transfer in one go! - it was very convenient to have used this service as we were picked up from the hotel door at Zagreb to Plitvice Lakes and after spending several hours admiring the beautiful scenic in Plitvice Lakes we were sent to the hotel door at Split! As this is a Private Transfer so there were no other passengers apart from my husband and I. Therefore we could suggest our own pick up time in the morning and may get some breakfast on our way at the bakery that we desired. Our guide Frane did contact us via what's app the day before to arrange the pick up. He was very punctual with excellent driving skills. One good thing about this Private Transfer is that we could skip the line at the ticket booth at Plitvice Lakes although there wasn't really a line when we got there coz it was a rainy day and the travelling season is not yet really started but I bet it would be really useful if you go during summer. Our guide Frane is very nice and he could suggest some walking routes in Plitvice Lakes to avoid the crowd and an easier walk (mostly downhill). All the way he was with us and would tell us the info about the falls so we would get to know more than if we walk around ourselves and he emphasized that we could always walk at our own pace! From Zagreb to Plitvice Lakes to Split, we would need to stay in the car for several hours. We were picked up by a sedan which was clean and comfortable. I am short so I did feel ok sitting behind the driver's seat but if you are tall you may need to get prepared or you may try to request if there is a more spacious sedan for the journey.
