Sheer beauty and expert guide - My wife and I had the most amazing time walking around the lakes and waterfalls with our guide Nikola, who was brilliant! Nikola has a deep expertise and knowledge about the park and the wildlife and a passion for everything that makes up the park, and we were the benefactors of both. We learnt so much as we chatted during the walk and were in awe of the lakes, waterfalls, cannons and the wildlife. We highly recommend Nikola it was the best guided tour we have been on.

My wife and I had a great... - My wife and I had a great time with our guide Nikola. The park is amazing and Nikola had so much insight into it because he grew up playing there. This was one of the highlights of our 3 week trip to Croatia. If you want to see Plitvice Lakes National Park, I highly recommend getting a private guide and Nikola was perfect for us.

- Communication was great prior to the tour. Emanuel was a very knowledgeable guide, sharing history, geological information, and the most beautiful views throughout the trip. He was flexible and adjusted the tour to cater to our interests and capabilities. Also great with kids and very friendly. This tour was so much more than we expected. Highly recommend!

A magical day at Plitvice! - We had the most wonderful time on a private tour with Emanuel as our guide. There were three of us total, and we started at 3pm. Emanuel tailored the experience to our needs and made sure that we saw everything we wanted to see. Since it was later in the day, we avoided the crowds and had huge parts of the park to ourselves. Emanuel was warm, knowledgeable, a great listener, and responsive to all of our questions—both current and historical. He clearly cares a lot about the park and about providing excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Private Tour - Nikola was a great guide. Super knowledgeable and shared lots of great stories and details about the park and Croatia. He was professional and gave us great tips on where to eat and visit after we left the park. Would strongly recommend a tour with him instead of a large tour group.

Best way to see the park - Nikola was amazing. He knows the park well having grown up in the area. I highly recommend a private tour if you want to learn about the area at your own pace. Nikola went above and beyond to make sure we had a first class experience.

Unforgettable experience, incredible guide - We hit the jackpot to have Nikola as our guide at Plitvice Lakes. He has incredible knowledge and just a great guy to get to know over the 3 hours walking the lower lakes. We would highly recommend this tour. It’s hard to imagine enjoying our visit to the park nearly as much if we did it in our own. We also appreciated the flexibility accommodating our schedule.
