It was awesome experience and worth all the money. It was nice to have a stop in the restaurant to have breakfast as the trip starts early. Our guide Paula was super friendly and funny. Told us some real and some unreal stories about the park and its lakes. Also, introduced Zadar and Croatia history. It was very convenient to not think how to get to the park and go back. A bus was comfortable also. I really recommend to go to this trip.
