Summary: Amazing experience !! One in a million , everyone needs to visit at least one time in their life!! Take a time and sit with a hot chocolate and just enjoy the breathtaking view♥️♥️

Summary: Incredible Plitvice Lakes Tour – A Must-Do with Petros.hr! This tour to Plitvice Lakes National Park with Petros.hr was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Croatia! The entire experience was smooth, well-organized, and stress-free from beginning to end. Our guide was fantastic—friendly, informative, and clearly passionate about the region and its natural beauty. The park itself is breathtaking, with its turquoise lakes, stunning waterfalls, and lush greenery. What made it even better was having a guide who knew exactly where to go, the best photo spots, and how to avoid the biggest crowds. We learned so much about the history and geology of the park, and never once felt rushed. The transportation was comfortable, the timing was spot on, and the group size was just right. If you’re planning to visit Plitvice, do yourself a favor and book through Petros.hr—you’ll get so much more out of the experience.

Summary: Petra was excellent guide, very knowledgable with lots of thing to tell. Trip well distributed with time for pics and rest. Def would recommend booking with her.

Summary: This tour was amazing from start to finish. Our tour guide Blaz was incredibly knowledgable and made it so fun. Plitvice Lakes are stunning and I would highly recommend. I went in the small group size and liked this as it meant I could freely chat to the guide.

Summary: Would definitely recommend this tour! When you visit the village before the lakes, your opportunity to get photos of the waterfalls are on your way in, you’ll need 50c for the public toilets or you can use the cafe toilets as long as you buy something. The lakes themselves are stunning. It was very busy (summer holidays) when I went with an approx 15 min queue to get a photo in front of the big waterfall, the crowds quieten as you go through the park though. You can buy food at the restaurant in the park (sandwiches hot/cold, beer etc). We walked approx 6 miles with some sloping terrain but not too hard going. You cannot swim in the lakes. Bring plenty of water too. Our tour guide Hrvoje was brilliant! Very knowledgeable and kind. He did a fantastic job. It was a red warning for a storm (first time ever at the park) and Hvroje made sure to get us all home safely.

Summary: Petra was a welcoming, knowledgeable and easy-going host. I enjoyed talking with her a bit along the way. The small tour size was perfect, and going in January was a dream. We had beautiful weather and no clouds. Couldn’t have asked for a better day trip!

Summary: Our guide (I’m so disappointed, I can’t think of his name right now- he’s a young, enthusiastic guy with glasses and a ponytail) was truly one of the best parts of the day. He was fun and so full of information about the country, history, food, everything! We had a small group of 5, which I loved. (I’m not a fan of large group tours). Rastoke was a lovely stop, such a cute town with peaceful scenery. Plitvice was beautiful, the boat ride was nice, and our guide shared a ton of knowledge about the park. I highly recommend this trip. Especially if you are lucky enough to go with our guide:) it was educational, beautiful, and a great way to experience Croatia.

Summary: Our tour started at the pick up point at Zrinjevac. If you are a little bit early like we were, there is a Mlinar bakery nearby, you can get some nice pastries for your breakfast. If you are foreign to this concept of bakeries as in Croatia, definitely try the food. The tour guide picks you up in a van, usually an 8 people group. Your route is Rastoke and then Plitvice Lakes. Both places are just plain beautiful, with some views in Plitvice breathtaking. You can get the idea from the pictures. Now what makes this tour special and different from just renting a car and going to visit the places yourself is your tour guide. On our visit it was a tour guide by the name of Blaz (hopefully I spelled it properly). This is a man with a goal of perfecting his job and is definitely on point. From the moment we departed from Zrinjevac park, every significant building in every street we passed in Zagreb was pointed out by our tour guide, what it is, the history behind it and general history of Zagreb and Croatia was also given to us in an easy way to comprehend. Similar information was given about Karlovac while we shortly passed through it. In detail legends and history of Rastoke. And for Plitvice wildlife, plantlife, lakes, legends and history. Definitely a tour guide that rises up the whole experience level, not to mention his good and friendly attitude. The man goes an extra mile by taking photos for you and even recommending places for the rest of your stay in Zagreb and if you are going to other cities in Croatia, he is willing to find out what are thr best choices for you. That was our experience on this tour with Blaz and he definitely sets the bar high, going far and beyond from what I would expect. I definitely recommend this tour and hope Blaz will be your tour guide.

Summary: I highly recommend this tour. The park is amazingly beautiful, and the tour allowed our family to see both Zagreb and Plitvice with ease. Besides the lakes, Luka was the star. You would be hard-pressed to find a more knowledgeable (about a variety of topics) or personable guide anywhere. Our teenagers even loved the tour.

Summary: The tour was amazing. I really enjoyed the lakes and waterfalls. Our group was really nice and our guide Carlo very friendly and gave us a lot of information about the country, the lakes and the city. Thanks a lot Carlo. Well done! Alex
