Privé eclectische ervaring van Rastoke en Plitvice Lakes National Park

I had a perfect day with an experienced guide Karlo who helped me out with everything I needed. He suggested leaving earlier than originally scheduled to avoid the crowd and the heat, and this was a very wise idea. We left at 6:00AM and got to the park before the big crowd arrived (much later, there was a long line of people waiting for admission) and I was able to enjoy the scenery, the fresh air, and everything I saw. I am glad I chose this tour because I think this is something that would be difficult for a group tour to offer. Karlo was very knowledgeable, explained about the history of Croatia while we were driving, and gave all the information on the park and the surrounding areas. I also want to mention about a picnic lunch Karlo packed for us, cheese and homemade prosciutto, and all the goodies. He not only guides but also bakes bread and roasts almonds! I highly recommend this tour especially for those people who want to enjoy the time on your own pace!!

This was our first trip to Croatia and we started our travel in Split. My wife found Karlo's tour of Plitvice and suggested we take the 2 hour 40 minute ride from split to this GOEGEOUS UNESCO world heritage site. Honestly the kids were not thrilled about the duration of the trip. However, Karlo made this so easy for us. He sent a van to collect us from our Airbnb. The. Van arrived 15 minutes early but was happy to wait until we were ready. The trip was smooth and a gorgeous ride all the way to Plitvice. Our driver was AMAZING. He engaged us as much as we wanted to and from the national park. Once we arrived the park Karlo greeted PS us and took us on one of the most AMAZING days we had in Croatia. The national park is stunning and Karlo went above and beyond to make our experience truly memorable He engaged our 17, year old in the history of Croatia while keeping our 15 and 12 year old entertained along the way. In the middle of the tour, Karlo fed us some of the most amazing food straight from his family's farm. We indulged in an amazing lunch and conversation while we took a break from the tour. We have spent 10 days in Croatia and I can honestly say out of all the tour guides we have had Karlo has been the absolute best. Not only does he guide through Plitvice but he explained he has many other options for our next. Trip to Croatia. He mentioned truffle hunting as an alternate excursion. I really can't say enough about Karlo. Really wonderful person. So kind generous informative and caring. If we come back we will definitely give him a call for another amazing adventure. Karlo thank you from the bottom of out hearts!! PS - there are better photos but I cut the ones of our family out of this posting. Again what an amazing day!!

Vanaf de eerste communicatie tot de tour zelf al onze interactie met Karlo was perfect op. We waren met een groep van zes en vroegen om opgehaald te worden van de luchthaven van Split en overgebracht naar onze accommodatie in Zagreb via Plitvice NP. Hoewel Karlo was niet in staat om ons te ontmoeten in Split als gevolg van eerdere verbintenissen, regelde hij vriendelijk voor een collega, Ana, om ons te vervoeren naar de meren. Ana was heerlijk en het vervoer was comfortabel, ruim en voorzien van airconditioning. Karlo stond ons op te wachten bij het NP en begeleidde ons vakkundig rond de meren, het vermijden van de drukte en ervoor te zorgen dat we alle bezienswaardigheden zagen. Hij zorgde voor een heerlijke picknick en had aan alles gedacht, inclusief parasols en kussens in geval van slecht weer. De hele dag was fantastisch en we zouden Karlo aanbevelen.
