Tour with Sanja and Mia

Great experience overall. Very reasonably priced for the distance from split. Comfortable transportation with coffee/pit stops. Sanja gave us flexibility for photography where it was a little quieter behind the group which was very much appreciated. Thank you Sanja! Mia was awesome and added humor to our day. About 3 hours of guided tour and 1 hour for lunch/walking around yourself. Food can be purchased on site. Note: there are two gray line bus stations right near each other and the meeting spot was actually at the other office across the street from the Google maps pin provided to us. Still easy to find.

Memorable trip to Plitvice National Park with excellent guides!

Great day out! Rather a long coach journey from Split but Plitvice National Park is amazing. Our friendly tour guides Mia & Sanja were brilliant and made the trip memorable with the knowledge of their country and made sure, at every stage, that all group members were cared for & enjoying themselves.

A wonderful day at the lakes.

The lakes were absolutely beautiful. Being the dry season many of the falls were just a trickle but that didn’t change how amazing they really are. Amazing colors of the water can not be explained, you need to see for yourself. Mai and Santa were our guides, they are both fantastic. We learned much about the lakes but they also have a history lesson on the surrounding areas. If you are debating this trip do it, you won’t be disappointed.

It really is as beautiful as the photos!

Mia and Sonja were the loveliest tour guides going - really down to earth, caring for everybody and full of information. They were happy to answer any questions and always wore a smile. The Lakes are stunning and speak for themselves but to be guided through and taken on the best route by Mia and Sonja was invaluable. My only criticism would be that it felt a little rushed with such a big group. But it appeared that people could use this journey from Split/Trogir to link up with a bus going onto Zagreb which all tied in perfectly and the drivers sorted out all the cases for people so it was hassle free and they got to enjoy a beautiful pit stop to explore the lakes half way through their journey.
