Plitvice Lakes and Rastoke, Small Group Tour from Zagreb

We had a wonderful day on this tour! Mat, our guide, was a wealth of knowledge and filled the day with interesting facts and humour. We learnt about the unique geology of the region, which makes Plitvice lakes so special. The place was absolutely stunning! Mat ensured that we arrived ahead of the big coach groups and we beat all the queues which was an added bonus. I would highly recommend Mat and this tour - it was a great day! (Small piece of advice - some people wore sandals, but I would definitely not suggest doing so! We were really glad we wore trainers as the paths are very uneven in places)

Plitvice Lakes are one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited! Traveling there with the tour guide Mat made it even better. I solo signed up and so did three other people. We were a small crew of four (5 with our guide Mat) and it was an awesome combo. The ride to the waterfalls found us driving through Karlovac and Tušilović and we saw buildings with visible bullet holes, carried over the from the 1991-1995 war. Mat knew so much history about Zagreb and Croatia and was patient with all of our questions. We first stopped at Rastoke, a medieval village... but except for a couple cool photos, it wasn't really worth it. We stayed for only 15 minutes, used the washroom, and some got tea / or grabbed lunch to go. Once we got to the gorgeous Plitvice Lakes, Mat journeyed with us and frequently offered to take solo and group pictures, helping us capture the whole day. He knew so much about the falls, the water, the grounds, the system, etc...He then suggested that we skip the boat that floats up the lake and instead, to spend over an hour walking alongside the lake -- so glad we listened! It was much prettier and much lovelier to be walking. The Upper Lakes were closed for maintenance of walkways, but it was barely a disappointment because the vast grounds still offered so much for what we COULD SEE! I was there in mid April and it was not very crowded (my suggestion to try to go in an uncrowded season). It was also 22*C and the sun was shining... a magnificent experience! I totally bonded with the two other woman in my group and it was such an awesome combo of walking / light hiking, and standing in awe at the gorgeously blue lakes. Mat spoke of his family and his life growing up and his personalization of this tour made it that much more memorable. These lakes are a SITE TO BE SEEN! Do not miss! This tour was worth every penny spent.

It was an absolutely amazing trip to Plitvice guided by tour guide Renato. We absolutely enjoyed the leisurely walk in the nature. Our guide was very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. He also didn’t push us to buy ang souvenirs or to visit any restaurants, it was all up to our own choice, which is very nice compared to other tours we took while traveling in other countries. We definitely recommend this tour ❤️

Magnificent place! Everyone should visit. Spring is best time to go, as there isn't crowded. Just put on your walking shoes and enjoy the seenary. Renato was a excellent guide. He gave us lots of information about Croatia and Plitvice lakes,during our trip. He knows all the best places for a foto. Very kind with everyone and generally, a positive person.

Amazing day out to a lovely little village and to a beautiful national park with so many waterfalls. It’s nice to do this tour in off-peak so the crowds are light. The hike takes a while but is not difficult so the trip sounds accessible for most people. Lunch was midway through the hike. If you want something besides hamburger or sausage for lunch, go ahead and pack a lunch for the day. The guide also did a great job.

The tour to the Plitvice Lakes and Rastoke was amazing. It was March and had luck with the weather. We went with only three people in total on the tour and were amazed by the interesting stories our tour guide Petra told us. She was super kind and knew so much about the area. It was a very relaxed tour in which we could truly enjoy the beautiful nature. We even talked about music, the changing climate and many more subjects. It was impossible to nót fall in love with the Plitvice Lakes, Rastoke and Croatia.

Plitvice is not to be missed. It is one of natures wonders and we’re so thrilled that we were able to have this incredible experience. We took the tour through Petros booked through Viator. Matija was our tour guide. He was excellent! Every step of the way, he explained everything we saw and made us feel like family. He even bent down to tie my shoelaces. Book with Petros and ask for Matija to be your guide! Tell him hello from Michelle from Florida!

Excellent tour guide and beautiful surroundings would highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the region

It was an amazing experience with a great tour guide which made our day extraordinary. Value for money!

Places we visited were beautiful. The tour organizer who came with us was excellent! He took us everywhere on time, made sure we got breaks in between, told us great info about the places and most important when I fell sick during the trip he took super good care - checking in regularly, suggesting me alternative shorter routes etc. overall a great experience and would highly recommend!
