The guided tour to Plitvice was very good and I even tipped the tour guide because she was professional, knowledgeable, and considerate. However is the package worth EUR 150 if lunch and entrance fee to the national park were not included? I have doubts. Next time I probably would book other means of transportation on my own. If you have a lot of money to splurge AND if you are too lazy to look up other tours, this is not a bad option.

Absolutely fabulous day visiting this national park. The guide Ivanka was extremely enthusiastic about the park and shared so much knowledge about Croatia in general and the Park in particular. I chose the tour that then went on to Zagreb instead of returning to Split and it was a very good way to get between the two cities.

Wow!! This tour was so incredibly amazing! First of all, our guide Ivanka was so professional, guiding us on the comfortable bus ride and through the park, with great history, explanation, and infectious fun along the way! Her personality is 100% perfect for this job, caring for each person, in order that they have a beautiful experience. And the lakes, so amazingly filled with awesome beauty, the waterfalls, the walks through the green natural setting! The lunch was delicious at a local place, as we stopped to refresh our bodies. It was a trip that far exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to dive into the wonder it presents! (For completion of my review, I did transfer to Zagreb from our lunch stop)

We were able to get from split to Zagreb in a convenient way with sightseeing along the way. It was summer so the park was very crowded, and that did take away from the beauty of the park. in hindsight I learned that longer walks are available to get deeper in the park and avoid crowds but for our timeline this was really all we could do. Regardless Ivanka was a great and knowledgeable guide so we were happy to take a trip with her

I wish I could give separate reviews for Viator, the tour operator, the tour itself, and the guide!
2 stars for Viator. I'm disappointed that I was charged the same as the reserved price even after the tour operator removed the entry fee to the park between my reservation and the charge. [The tour name on my reservation is "Split to Zagreb Group Transfer with Plitvice Lakes Tour (Included: Entry Ticket)".] I was asked to pay for the entry fee at the start of the tour, cash only, despite this not being mentioned in the updated tour description (which reads like you just buy tickets at the park). Viator is unwilling to refund me, meaning they are completely OK with an operator's bait-and-switch. If the tour amenities are reduced, its price should be reduced accordingly or the amenities of the reserved booking should be honored. Not even a courtesy *credit* was offered to me as a first-time guest.
In addition to the above, I offer feedback to the tour operator to include in the description that the group meets up with another coming from Zagreb. Those on a day tour from Split or Zagreb return to their starting point on the same bus, and those in transit change buses. This is a clever arrangement and also a bit confusing/disorienting when not explained until it's happening.
5 stars for Ivanka, who is a phenomenal guide. She visits the park and meets dozens of new people 5 days a week, and every day is fresh and exciting to her. Her enthusiasm for her job, for nature, and for life are contagious. She is an incredible spirit. And the park is beautiful, obvi.

Ivanka's excellent skill as a guide. She made everyone completely comfortable and confident. As a single senior traveler, I had a wonderful time and felt that Ivanka cared about all of us. I was traveling on to Zagreb alone and my phone was dying; she helped me get it charged during lunch.

Hmm.. not sure where to start… I think my partner and I were spoiled from previous AMAZING tours we had taken (not with this group), that honestly spoiled everything. The main reason for the poor review is the cost.. I have no idea what my AUD250 went towards. The only good thing about the day (Plitvice Lakes) wasn’t even included (and cost a WHOPPING €35). Plus, we were just ushered into the park for a “self-guided” walk around with 1000 other people, with no guide, no explanation, and to top things off we had to wait 30 minutes for other members of our group that had missed the initial bus, and then wait another 20 to find other members who had gotten lost in the lakes, because it was so poorly organised (our group was WAY too big). Did we get that time back? No. We were rushed through our lunch, to then pile on a bus in silence for another 2 hours.. no chatting, explanations, or “guiding”. So I put it to you… what are you paying for? The most expensive bus ride ever? I recommend just taking a bus out to the lakes, having your day there, and taking a different bus to Zagreb.. it would literally be the same experience, but you would save yourself $200. Our guides were lovely, I feel bad for them being part of such an awful company. Go with someone else (Funky Tours/Dream Balkan Tours) or pay for a bus. I’m still genuinely horrified that I paid for it.

The tour was well-paced. The guide, beautiful Ivanka, deserves special thanks - to your passion, to your attendance to everyone and mostly, to your big smile.

So I messed up and booked for the wrong date. Yes I am the dummy here.
But when I reached out to the tour operator to see what could be done they indicated that there were no refunds. I stated I didn't want a refund I just wanted to reschedule even if it meant they charged me an additional fee. They replied that the tour had passed and there were no refunds. So they are basically keeping my $154. I understand the concept of no refunds but the way they make it out is like this is a cake ...it's been baked and you missed it. This is a bus ride! You can easily charge me a "you are a dummy fee" and put me on another bus. Customer service by this company is nonexistent.

This trip from Split to Zagreb with a stop at Plitvice was perfect for our group of three. Mia was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable about the history and cultural aspects of the area. Besides that she was super friendly! The lakes were AMAZING and it was nice to end in Plitvice.
