Visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park in August was one of the highlights of my trip to Croatia. The place is absolutely beautiful, and seeing the crystalclear lakes, waterfalls, and greenery in person was even better than I expected. Walking along the wooden pathways surrounded by nature was a wonderful experience, and every few minutes there seemed to be another amazing view worth stopping for. Since I visited in August, it was quite busy, especially around the main waterfalls and popular viewpoints, but that didn’t take away from the experience. The weather was perfect for exploring, although I would definitely recommend comfortable shoes, water, and starting early to avoid some of the crowds. The boat ride across the lake was particularly enjoyable and gave us a chance to relax between the walks. Overall, Plitvice Lakes is an incredible place and definitely worth visiting when travelling through Croatia. I would happily visit again!

This trip was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The landscapes were truly breathtaking, but what made the experience even more special was our guide, Dino. He was by far one of the best guides I’ve ever had. He was incredibly positive, full of life, and explained everything so clearly and passionately. We had so much fun throughout the whole day! We also learned so much about Zagreb and Croatia in general, and the journey itself never felt long because Dino kept us entertained and engaged. It genuinely felt like we were spending the day with a group of friends rather than being on a guided tour. We never really felt like tourists even though it was only a day trip, we felt immersed in the culture and got to experience Croatia in such a memorable way. I couldn’t recommend this trip enough!

The tour to Rastoke and Plitvice Lakes National Park was beautiful. The company in charge was Petros, but what really made the difference was our guide, Chiara—she was incredible the entire time.
