Review of Zagreb’s Plitvice and Rastoke day trip, with waterfalls, watermills, guide tips, transport notes, costs, and seasonal advice.

“We had an amazing Plitvice Lakes excursion from Zagreb and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guide, Marko, was outstanding — extremely knowledgeable, very funny, and clearly very experienced. He explained everything in an engaging way and made the entire tour enjoyable from start to finish. We really enjoyed every single part of the trip, from the breathtaking lakes to the smooth organization of the day. Highly recommended, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Marko as your guide!”

“Rastoke village is a must see!! It’s in a fairytale setting. Plitvice Lakes are so beautiful. Our guide, Dinko, did a great job and was very kind to me as I had a sore ankle and could only manage the lower lakes. My husband did the upper lakes and thoroughly enjoyed it.”
