Great day - Plitvice Lakes deserve to be on many peoples bucket list. Marko, our driver was on time, safe, friendly and helpful all day. His familiarity with the area certainly improved our experience such that we were able to to both upper and lower lakes without back tracking, all quite easily in the day. Would recommend this experience to every one.

Day tour Plitvice Lakes - We had the best time with Marco. Great guy, super friendly, went out of his way to give us the best tour possible. Totally recommend him for tours in Croatia and/around neighbouring countries. Stopped at the perfect spot for a coffee and couldn’t have ended the day better :) Thank you Marco !

Beautiful Tour - Plitvice lakes were stunning. Marko was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about the Park and Croatia. My daughter and I enjoyed every minute of our custom-tailored private tour. This experience is great for kids of all ages.

A fabulous trip to the Lakes with an excellent tour guide. - Our trip was a fantastic experience and the highlight of our visit to Croatia. We had a really brilliant tour guide named Luka and he went over and above to make sure we had the best time. He stopped at a beautiful little village called Rastoke and we had a lovely visit there, and on our return journey he stopped to allow us to photograph the ostrich nest. We would highly recommend this trip, especially if you could have Luka as your guide.

Excellent service! - Travelled to Zagreb with 2 of my kids, flying in early Saturday morning and flying out Sunday evening. I emailed Zagreb Transfers and Tours the Friday before arriving to request for airport transfers and a tour of Plitvice Lakes. Planning the transfers and tour via email was a breeze. Marko addressed our concerns about our Sunday flight and assured us that everything will go smoothly. And It did! Marko was patiently waiting for us at the airport when we arrived and en route to our hotel, he generously drove us past some key places in the city so that we can orient ourselves. Really helpful as it was our first visit to Zagreb and we only had one full day there. The next day, he picked us up at 8am on the dot for the drive to Plitvice. At the park, he knew exactly what to do and where to go so we can avoid the crowds and maximise our time there. He took time out to briefly discuss certain plants and mushrooms, which my 9 year old son thoroughly enjoyed. We managed to cover so much ground in the park while taking a gazillion pictures, without feeling rushed or stressed. And as promised by Marko, we got to the airport with time to spare. Great planning and implementation! Very informative and enriching visit to Plitvice!

Excellent tour - Frame was very knowledgeable and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our day spent with him. With his familiarity with the park, we were able to move pass the crowd really quickly and saved ourselves time. Would definitely recommend going on a tour with him!

Marco is an awesome host! - We were lucky to get a great driver/guide to tak eus on this amazing trip to Plitvička. If u are looking for something so magnificent in nature and are into some walking /hiking this is your tour. What I liked about Marco is that we went against the flow of people and mainly downhill which made the wives happy! Highly recommended!
