Amazing views
We had Mia as our guide and Sonja at the park as well. They were both wonderful guides. Mia spoke the best English we've heard in Croatia. They were both very well informed and nice guides. The only downside is that it's a transfer tour which can take up some time. For us it meant a 20 minutes decrease in free time spent in the park. This was out of the control of the guides and they handled it professionally.

Plitvice Lakes
Mia & Sanja were great and worked well together. The day felt organised and had a good amount of guided tour around the national park. Any question that I asked, the guides were able to answer, they were very approachable.

Amazing, well worth the trip
Mia & Sanja were lovely and very knowledgeable. The meeting point was easy to find and the tour guides were very organised. The bus ride wasn't too long (about 3.5 hours each way in October) and there's a rest stop each way too so no need to worry about toilet breaks. I was totally unprepared for the cold weather in the mountains and Mia made sure I had time to grab a rain coat from the shop before the walk. The walk itself is not bad at all, easily doable if you like walking a d the views were amazing, especially as it was autumn. Plenty of chances to take photos and selfies.
