      Perfect Day in Zadar for a Cruise Stop
      We were stopping in Zadar on a cruise ship stop, so our time was limited. I wanted a private tour & knew I wanted to visit Krka Waterfalls & the Sea Organ. I reached out to several tour companies and Zadar In & Out was great with communication and offered the perfect private tour. Our tour guide met us at the port and provided fantastic conversation on the one hour ride to Krka Waterfalls. He was super knowledgeable about Zadar and spoke excellent English. At Krka, we did not have to wait in line, and he allowed us plenty of time to walk around. We then went to a small beach for a quick swim, a few local beers, and then continued to the cutest family vineyard for a wine, cheese, and olive tasting. At the end, he took us to the Sea Organ...it's pretty amazing how the engineering is done to have the wind and sea sing!! Overall, we had a fantastic experience from booking to getting dropped off back at the port. The perfect day in Zadar!!

      Stunning views
      Our tour guide Bojan was absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable and organised. The day from start to finish was packed full of stunning views and some wonderful historical facts about Croatia and the park. Would highly recommend this tour and booking your tickets within the tour price. Thank you Bojan for such a memorable experience.

      Professional and wonderful experience
      Marko and Ante are just amazing hosts! This review is a bit unusual since we actually ended up needing to cancel but the way these guys handled everything was top notch. We were booked on the Plitvice tour from Zadar but due to flights delays we couldn’t make it. Since it was high season, the booking was non-refundable which is entirely reasonable. We were able to work closely with the hosts and arrive at a solution that prevented us from losing all the money. These guys are A class. Very professional and very helpful.

      A great day, bring lots of water!
      Beautiful park! Our guide was Bojan, he did a wonderful job of strategizing our route to avoid the crowds as much as possible and to keep the group together. Excellent clear communication and plenty of opportunity for photos, rest, lunch, bathroom etc. The heat in August could not be avoided but most of the route was shaded. Well organized tour!

      We enjoyed Bojan's good nature and he kept our group entertained and had endless insights into the lakes and Craotia in general. Pace was generous and he problem solved for one guests mobility issues

      Plitvice Lakes Tour
      I organized a trip to the Plitvice Lakes in August and for this reason I completely entrusted myself to this agency, I would like to highlight its seriousness and efficiency both in transport and in providing guides. In our case Bojan accompanied us, prepared for every question and ready to give excellent advice. The only thing that stops me from giving 5 stars as a review is the fact that I would have liked to stop longer and follow other routes (which obviously can be done without a guide).

      Nice picture spots at the waterfall
      The trip was well organized. Mary was an excellent guide. The park was fun. Wine tasting was in some ways lacking, and it could be better air conditioning on the bus. Overall a nice trip!

      Afternoontour Plitvice
      We did the afternoon tour to Plitvice and we had a wonderful time. The guide was really friendly and gave just enough information about the park. Because we went in the afternoon, the park was less crowded. If you want to go to Plitvice i would definitely recommend!!!

      Great day out!
      I did the tour with my father and brother. It was well organized. Bojan was a great guide. Always keeping us informed (in person and via chat which was very handy). Good humor & open for questions or having a chat. It was very good we took a route reversed to avoid crowds as long as possible. This way the "amazing-ness" of Plitvicer Lakes build up with the Lower Lakes and the big waterfall being my highlight (besides the amazing color of the water overall). :) The breaks were a tad too short with there being a lot of people during the high season queuing. But I appreciate Bojan waiting for us without pressure! Some surprises and informations at the end made a nice ending to a great day / experience. Would definitely recommend a tour with Bojan / this company. :)

    Wonderful day spent at the lakes! Our guide Bojan was excellent, very attentive/made sure everyone was accounted for, and the route he chose for us was brilliant (downhill and going against the flow of the crowds). Everyone enjoyed the lakes at their own pace and only once in awhile we’d meet at certain meeting points. I would highly recommend wearing long sleeves since the weather up in the lakes is cooler than in Zadar.

    Very organized, and a reasonable amount of time to explore the park. Guide Ante was friendly and gave great instructions on the paths. Driver Bohan got us there safely.

    Route C, if you are a decent pace walker and the park is not too busy (or the boat queue is long) I think you could choose to skip the boat ride and walk along the lake instead, to get more hiking in.

    The park is of course very beautiful, the waterfalls all stunning. I went in the low season and very glad of that, I think in the summer it would be less enjoyable from too many people.

    The Plitvice lakes tour was amazing and the route we took was extremely scenic. Our tour guide Mislav was funny and talked to everyone, he managed to keep all our spirits up even in the hot weather. The old town tour that was accompanied by it was led by a great tour guide who showed us the city and taught us things from a local perspective

    We saw this park on an Instagram reel of places to see and it did not disappoint! We visited in mid April and it was beautifully sunny but not too hot, and most importantly - it wasn’t too crowded. The views are incredible and the serenity is like nothing else. The day is split really well …. just under 2hrs walk, followed by a beautiful boat ride across the lake, lunch and another 45 minutes seeing the smaller lakes before going up to the final viewpoint. Our guide Jelena was fantastic, happy to show us all the points of interest and explain everything. We would absolutely do this again!

    The lakes are amazing, the trip was well organised, we traveled by bus, had time to walk through the park and enjoy the beautiful view. Our guide Matea was really fun and enthusiastic.
    The city tour was also really nice, the guide Tamara was so passionate about her city's history, listening to the facts and anecdotes was very interesting. Also, we made it to the famous sunset.

    The lakes are truly amazing. Absolutely fabulous. But keep in mind that the price will basically provide the bus to and from the lakes and some instructions on which paths to take (entry ticket must be paid extra). That or the map the park provides, doesn‘t make much of a difference. Highly disappointed on the quality of the „guided“ tour. Mostly ultra-nationalist, anti-european frustrated speech with very basic information on the park. We got more info from just reading different panels throughout the paths.
    Ante, the Zadar local guide was, on the other hand, the very best guide you can get. The man is an invaluable resource of information and he knows just how to deliver it to keep his audience captivated and entertained. Wish we would‘ve had him for the Plitvice tour. That would‘ve been a 5 stars tour.

    Plitvice is a nature wonder that needs to be seen. We were happy that it was not so crowded during the afternoon/evening tour (other than people from our bus). Maybe in a morning trip the lights are even more impressive on the blue translucent waters and the surrounding mountains. The directions and instructions of our guide were clear and our guide was careful with everyone so that no one would get lost despite our quite big group.

    I can honestly say this was the best tour we have ever been on. Bojan was very informative and patient, he had humour and gave us just the right amount of information, then leaving us to explore at our own leisure but was there if we wanted to ask any questions or needed asssitance.

    If you want to visit Plitvice Lakes I would definitely recommend using this tour company.

    Excellent tour and day trip out! Tonka was a great guide! We decided to go on the later tour which was a great decision as the lakes were very peaceful and quiet in the late afternoon/early evening, as well as being out of the intense heat in the middle of the day.

    This trip was well worth the money in my opinion. The national park is beautiful, the route we took (H) was of a decent length with plenty of opportunities to take photos and the boat ride across one of the lakes was pleasant and our tour guide was excellent too.

    I’d highly recommend taking this tour!
