A visit to Krka National Park is a must if you're in Split or the surrounding area. This tour is quite well organized, with a bus ride that's definitely better than renting a car to get there. The guide doesn't speak French, but it's really not hard to understand him. He's friendly and goes on and on, but that's his job. The whole thing is definitely very expensive (too much?), but we would have regretted not going!

Overcharged park entry fee for booking online. Online entry fee is 40 euro whilst cash price on the day is 30 euro. What a joke.

Beautiful, relaxing location. Very welcoming village and villagers. On the other hand, the site is not up to date: excursions in the wrong order and 1 place not visited (PRIMOSTEN) because the agency no longer does it due to lack of time.

We enjoyed our drive through Splut to Krka National Park. Our tour guide, Antonia , was a gracious and knowledgeable hostess. Antonia made sure we saw all the highlights at the waterfall park and in Skradin.
