Really good day trip. We went out of season so not so busy. Great guide too. Nice drive through mountains and it was lovely to see national park

Great experience. Your guide Barry was the best. Would go on another tour with him for sure. Very knowledgeable and personable. Driver Anton was obviously experienced at driving.

Went off season on a drizzly day but did not dampen our spirits. Yes, there is a giant -and I mean giant- waterfall but there are actually very many waterfalls all through the park. You will hear the rushing water nearly everywhere you walk. Truly gorgeous. Only suggestion is to get in the front of the line to board the bus so you get a good seat. Our bus was full and the back row isn't great.

I really am glad we booked a tour and with Barry. He's really knowledgeable, funny and has done this tour a billion times so he knows what he's doing. November is off season and we were in a group of 9, which was easy to manage and even keep an eye on each other in case anyone trailed too far behind. The drive takes a while to get to the park but we just wanted to see the falls and get through the park as much as possible as we had limited time in Croatia. You better be fit enough to power walk and be good at taking photos fast. Not crowded at all during this time. There's also a reservation system now so if you didn't book ahead, you cant go into the park. We didn't know that and were thankful Barry and his team handled it for us. Make sure you eat some food before the trip and have some water and snacks for the ride.

Barry was a very good tour guide. He is organised, explains everything clearly and also gives us time to explore things ourselves. It is a great experience travelling with him.

Really amazing tour!! Our guide Harris was extremely passionate and high spirited which made the whole experience enjoyable. The drive to/from is a bit lengthy, but you’re in the comfort of a coach van, and have around 4 hours at the park which breaks it up nicely. Going with a guide in hindsight was such a great decision, as the park is massive with numerous routes, so we got to see the best spots without worrying about time! Highly recommend!

Mia made sure we were alll on the bus before we left any location. If you plan on attending in the fall, be sure to bring extra layers as there is a 20F/6C difference in temperature from Split to Plitvice. Wish there was a little more time at entrance 1 at the end as that was one of my favorite views

We thought that this day trip from Split. Was really good value for money. Considering the length of time that you are at the park and the time taken to arrive there. The lakes and water falls are truly stunning. We will return again!

My husband and I took two of our kids (our 2 adult daughters) on the Plitvice Lakes National Park guided day tour from Split and we had a lovely time! It was relaxing to be in the hands of a guide and a driver. It was a cool, slightly misty day in late October so we had rain jackets and long pants. It is a beautiful park! Our guide was called Barry. We rode in a sprinter van and enjoyed the views along the way. Barry was friendly enough, and helpful. He allowed us to enjoy our leisurely walk around the park and he took photos for anyone who wanted his help. He explained what we would be doing and showed us how to best enjoy the whole experience. We stopped to eat a locally prepared meal at a great restaurant on the way home and it was delicious. Loved this tour!
