Mid October Trip!
Rylee_W, October 2026
On vacation from America and had such an amazing experience! Damien was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable and friendly. A lot of walking but that was to be expected, wear comfy shoes and layers so you can take them off to cool down.

Excellent trip to Plitvice
736hannekes, October 2026
On time, well-organized pick-up and smooth drive. Our guide Marko gave very clear and entertaining guidance and information. He created a very nice atmosphere in the group. The visit was amazing with enough time for everything while keeping us on a schedule for an on time departure. Despite the rain, it was one of the best organized trips I’ve made. An absolutely great experience!
