Lovely place to visit. Bojan is a very good driver and a knowledgeable guide. Nothing was too much trouble and the tour was conducted at a manageable pace . I’d definitely recommend this tour by Pathfinders.

The tour guide Boyun ( from Pathfinder ) is knowledgeable and friendly. He explains the movements well and why we take route and let us choose. He also shown us where to take good photos, explain the scenery along the way.
Best tour guide ever!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, I truly felt up to date with croatia’s history, culture and cuisine. He took us through the national park like a pro, and we were able to make the most out of our visit :-)
Do it. You won't regret it.

We had Bojan as a tour guide and he was amazing! He told us about the Zagreb history and was a great guide at the park. We didn't feel rushed, which was appreciated. I recommand this day tour for small group and since travellers.
Enjoyable day with a feast of the eyes

Our guide Bojan gave us information about the country, the place, and the experience. We are able to know Croatia and its history more. Great arrangement. Always willing to help. Took great pictures for us. Very considerate. Being in a small group is making the trip enjoyable. Bojan arrived at the departure point early with the clear sign of pathfinder on the coach. Bojan also gave clear instruction about lunch arrangement the night before. Excellent logistics. We were able to see the most beautiful parts of both the upper and the lower lake. He got sense of humor and we enjoyed his accompany.

The National park was absolutely beautiful. It rained the whole day but I didn’t even mind because I was having too much fun. Bojan, our guide, was super and could tell he really cared about making sure every guest was having a good time; I really enjoyed learning about Croatian people and history from him. Thanks Bojan & Pathfinder tours!
Do not miss!

Very gut organised trip, Bojan (the guide) took the time and explained everything. Very friendly guy with a wide range of knowledge.
Place war amazing, like paradise on earth.
Highly recommended with the Pathfinders tours!
Wonderful Experience with a knowledgeable Tour Guide

If you want to go to Plitvice as a solo tripper, look no further. Bojan our guide knew the lakes like the back of his hand and he organised the day really well for us. On the way to the park he briefed us about the history of Croatia. There are no direct buses to the part before noon from Zagreb post the pandemic and its impossible to do a day trip to Plitvice Lakes and back anymore, this is another reason I opted for this tour. All in all a must do trip with Pathfinders.
Perfect , and more perfect

This was simply the best tour ! Our guide Bojan was very knowledgeable, helpful, funny and knew all the perfect spots for the most beautiful photos. I have done hundreds of tours but when your guide loves his/her job it makes a big difference ! Thank you Bojan for this amazing experience, the history and many other interesting pieces of information you have given us. Our little group was just the most hilarious and the stories shared shall stay with me as long as possible. I would highly recommend this tour. The lakes were stunning. Thank you

Plitvice had been on my wish list for some time and it didn’t disappoint. The driver guide was very knowledgeable (Masters degree in history) and entertained us on the way to Rastoke with a potted history of Croatia. The vehicle was brand new and quite comfortable (Only four passengers). Everything ran to schedule, so all in all a very good day - including the weather.
Wonderful experience

Bojan is a great and hardworking tour guide. He did speak to us about the lakes and not only. We've learned quite a lot about the history, food , demographics and more of Croatia.
I really suggest this tour, it's totally worth it.

I came to Zagreb for only two nights and I knew before arriving that I wanted to go on this tour. It's safe to say it exceeded all of my expectations and I will remember this day forever, thanks to our tour guide Goran. He was extremely knowledgeable and I learned quite a bit about Croatia as a whole, the surrounding countries, and the land we drove through. The lakes themselves were mind-blowing and I hope to be back one day! I highly recommend this tour regardless if you're solo or with a group!
Thanks for a great day out of the city

I was able to experience a fantastic day out hiking and learning about Croatia. Goran was an excellent tour operator, professional in every aspect, and knowledgeable. I won't forget my trip to Plitvice and Rastoke. If I can return with my wife one day, I would not hesitate to book this tour in an instant.

In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email.
