A Splendid experience - It was a cold drizzling day at the National Park, yet, our guide Ivan made it so enjoyable and fun. He was punctual, thoughtful, patient, knowledgeable and efficient. He enlightened us with tons of information about the park, eco system, history and culture of Croatia. It was obvious he loves his work. His English was clear and accurate. All of 8 participants loved him!! A combination of walking, bus ride, boat ride and frequent and adequate batheroom-stops worked out really well. For me it was THE most beautiful park I have ever visited! At the end of the day we felt money and time well spent. Thank you Ivan, his company, and Viator for the memorable tour. I will recommend the tour to anyone visit Croatia!

A must do - Very good walking tour of the park. Definitely worth visiting, very scenic. If I went on my own without the guided tour I wouldn't have had such a good time. The park is very big and having someone experienced leading the way helped alot. Bring comfortable shoes since it's a long walk on uneven surfaces, lots of uphill portions, and wooden stairs and paths. The amazing views is worth the walk.

Plitvice Lakes small group tour - I highly recommend the Plitvice Lakes tour - it’s a must-do for nature lovers and anyone visiting Croatia.
Plitvice Lakes National Park is a natural wonder, and this tour does it justice. Bring comfortable walking shoes, a camera, and a sense of adventure. The pacing was perfect. Petros was an excellent guide and gave us ample time to take photos, ask questions, and enjoy the scenery.
The tour was excellent value for money, considering the comprehensive itinerary, professional guide, and overall experience.
