Perfect way to travel from Split to Zagreb - We had a wonderful experience with Mia and Sanja as our guides. They made the transfer from Split to Zagreb seamless and stress-free, turning a journey into a sightseeing adventure. The highlight was getting to see the beautiful Plitvice Lakes along the way. Both guides were friendly, professional, and made the trip engaging. A fantastic way to see more of Croatia while travelling between cities!

Great practical tour - Very convenient tour that transport you between Split and Zagreb without having to go back to the original city. The pace at the national park was great, not wasting time staying idle. Our guide Ivana was very knowledgeable and helpful.

A must visit when in Croatia - We stayed in Split and were looking for an easy way to get to Zagreb while visiting Plitvice National Park along the way. This guided tour was absolutely perfect!
Our guides, Mia and Sonya, were fantastic—knowledgeable, organized, and full of fascinating history about the park. They kept the group together, ensured no one got lost, and made the journey smooth from start to finish.
Plitvice itself was breathtaking. The lakes glistened in shades of turquoise, emerald, and blue—each stop more beautiful than the last. The highlight was the waterfall, one of the tallest in Croatia, cascading powerfully into the lower lakes. The scenery looked like something out of a fairy tale.
The entire experience was seamless, ending with a comfortable transfer to Zagreb. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to combine effortless travel with one of Croatia’s most stunning natural wonders.

Better than expected by a million miles. - Great tour guide Tanjya and driver Drako.
Lovely and funny tour guides.
This tour also included transfers back to Zagreb and visa versa. A great way to see 3 attractions in one trip.
The other guide and driver did a great job also teaming up to control 60 wandering kittens.
Lovey and informative tour guides plenty of time to reviver and take in the views.
Really suggest utilising the transfer option. To swap towns. Great concept. Didn’t know the option was there or would have done it.
A fantastic and beautiful day. Although quite demanding.
👍👍👍

Excellent guided tour with Mia and Sanja - Visit the Plitvice lakes with guides Mia and Sanja. They speak very well in English.
We had fun visiting this park with our teenagers aged 14 and 16. We opted for this tour because we had the transfer from Split to Zagreb.
It’s a must to visit the Plitvice lakes even if it’s very busy (and it was apparently very quiet...). Not much time to settle down and enjoy the magnificent views, but that’s how it is.
Thank you to our guides for their very good support. I recommend.
Ah yes, provide cash to pay for access to the park. We weren't warned.

Wonderful all-day adventure! - The coast and islands of Croatia are unbeatable, but this excursion to the interior was fascinating. Our wonderful tour guide, Ivanka, was informative, energetic, knowledgeable, fun, and led us through one of Earth's most breathtaking locations, Croatia's Plitvice National Park. WOW! I booked this mainly for the transportation from Split to Zagreb. I had no idea that the park would be so interesting and beautiful. Plan for an all-day adventure, with lots of walking done at a manageable pace. If someone has mobility issues, this would not be a good match. The lunch spot that we went to after Plitvice served tasty food, perfect after our three hours in the park. Part of the tour group went back to Split and part of us changed buses and went to our next destination, Zagreb. Everything worked as scheduled.

First rate experience. 5 Stars. - This was a truly wonderful experience. All the details were thought thru and well handled by the Grayline people who managed the tour. Our guides were Barrie and Jessica who both spoke English fluenty and offered interesting commentary during the bus ride, in the park and on our way home. On the last leg of travel, Jessica kept her comments to a minimum so we could all enjoy our well-earned naps. Lunch at a restaurant near the park was wonderful local fare. Our luggage was transferred to the correct bus expertly and with no hassle. This was a first class experience. Highly recommend either as a day trip to the park or as an alternative to a long boring bus ride between Split and Zagreb.
One ore thing; The bus rides were smooth and mainly comfortable through some windy mountain roads. This is not typical of rides between cities on Flixbus or Arriva.

Do it en route from Split-Zagreb - Well paced trip from Split to Zagreb via Plitvice Lakes with Sanja and Mia. The rest break and park cafes had decent food options, and the scenery was beautiful. The tour was efficient and not too exhausting even for someone who did not like the outdoors in general.

Excellent Day out with convenience of a transfer between cities - Mia & Sanja were great guides & this trip was a perfect way to get between Split & Zagreb. Plitvice Lakes had been a bucket list place to visit & although short, the guides made sure we maximized our time!
