    Loved it!!! Will be back again!!

    It was a fantastic experience to visit the lakes. The most cleanest and beautifully preserved lakes in Europe. Lakes were crystal clear and blue and the whole walk was very pleasant. Definitely worth it for the price. We were able to see all the lakes and waterfall within a day while taking good breaks in between taking lots of pictures. And lastly, our tour guide Larry made the whole experience really fun with his jokes. He is very informative, friendly, helpful and funny. Loved it!!!

    Response from the operator: Dear Sir/Madam, We can't thank you enough for your fantastic review! It's truly uplifting to know that you had such a positive experience on our tour. We are constantly striving to provide the best possible experience to our customers, and your feedback lets us know that we are on the right track. We appreciate your support and kind words for our dear guide Lovro and hope to have the pleasure of seeing you again soon. Best regards, Booker Team

    Phenomenal day at the lakes

    Our tour guide Lovro was phenomenal. He went above and beyond to make sure we understood the geographical history of the region we were visiting, as well as the history of the park. The hike was not too strenuous & Lovro made sure to take time for everyone to do the hike successfully. He also gave us a list of local food to try which drastically increased our enjoyment of the food for the rest of our trip. Stunning views with an excellent tour group! My one advice to people packing lunch is that make sure you are prepared to carry it in ur backpack and keep it insulated, the day is pretty hot in August and you wouldn’t want to risk getting sick.

    Response from the operator: Dear Sir/Madam, Thanks so much for your feedback! It makes our day hearing about how much our guests love our tour and the great service they’ve received from our dear guide Lovro. We are looking forward to seeing you in Split again. Kind regards, Booker Team

    Amazing guide and a wonderful day at Plitvice!

    Our tour guide Sanja was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she made the whole experience enjoyable with her excellent communication skills, great sense of humour and wonderful energy. She has an impressive knowledge not only of Plitvice Lakes, but also of the Lika region and Split, sharing interesting facts, stories and figures throughout the journey. What could have felt like a long three-hour drive went by incredibly quickly thanks to her engaging personality, positive energy and empathy with the group. Sanja was friendly, attentive and professional, and really added something special to the whole experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend both the trip and, especially, Sanja as a guide!

    Response from the operator: Dear Sir/Madam, We can't thank you enough for your wonderful review! Knowing that your tour experience with us was truly amazing fills our hearts with joy. At Booker Travel agency , we believe that a great guide can elevate a tour to new heights, and we are incredibly proud of the dedication and expertise our guides bring to every journey. We are delighted that our dear Sanja made such a positive impact on your trip, ensuring your comfort and making it an unforgettable experience. She embodies the spirit of our company, and your kind words recognizing their efforts mean the world to us. We genuinely appreciate your recommendation and look forward to the pleasure of serving you again in the future. Thank you for choosing us and for allowing us to be part of your memorable adventure!

    From Split: Plitvice Lakes - Private tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.

    How much does From Split: Plitvice Lakes - Private tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $750 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Split usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does From Split: Plitvice Lakes - Private tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Split is not rushed.

    Is From Split: Plitvice Lakes - Private tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 269 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Split: Plitvice Lakes - Private tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is From Split: Plitvice Lakes - Private tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From Split: Plitvice Lakes - Private tour?

    +

    Around 94 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Split can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Split and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Split: Plitvice Lakes - Private tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Split within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Split?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Split experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister of History, Split Walking Tour with Professor of History, From Split: Krka Waterfalls, Food & Wine Tasting Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Split?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Split?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
