Best Tour operator and travel agency in Zagreb. - We were so glad we chose Zagreb Tours and transfers.
They were one of the best companies we have used in Croatia.
From picking us up at the airport to all the hotel transfers across two cities Zagreb and split including the day visit to Plitvice national park.
Mr Frane who drove us to the national park Was brilliant and very helpful with his knowledge and insights.
He was extremely accommodative with our requests. His tour company is great for families and children travelling..
thank you, Mr. Frane for your wonderful service and hospitality through our journey.
We will definitely recommend your company to all our friends

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 !
