Went on a day tour to Plitvice lakes. I am impressed how everything was PERFECTLY organised! Few days before the tour you get messages with practical information. We stayed around 5 hours in the park, took the train and the boat, walked 9km, perfect tour suitable for anyone and you see a lot. You can still walk to your own beat, the guide manage to keep in touch with everyone in the group and that the “trail instructions” are clear. Special thanks to Klara, our guide, passionated, nice and funny ! Also to mention that the bus driver drove very safely!
