Best Tour operator and travel agency in Zagreb.
We were so glad we chose Zagreb Tours and transfers. They were one of the best companies we have used in Croatia. From picking us up at the airport to all the hotel transfers across two cities Zagreb and split including the day visit to Plitvice national park. Mr Frane who drove us to the national park Was brilliant and very helpful with his knowledge and insights. He was extremely accommodative with our requests. His tour company is great for families and children travelling.. thank you, Mr. Frane for your wonderful service and hospitality through our journey. We will definitely recommend your company to all our friends
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re truly happy to hear that your experience with Zagreb Transfers and Tours was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. It means a lot to know that Frane’s knowledge, flexibility, and hospitality made your journey—especially your visit to Plitvice Lakes—so memorable for your family. Thank you for your kind recommendation, and we hope to welcome you and your friends again in the future!

Great day
Plitvice Lakes deserve to be on many peoples bucket list. Marko, our driver was on time, safe, friendly and helpful all day. His familiarity with the area certainly improved our experience such that we were able to to both upper and lower lakes without back tracking, all quite easily in the day. Would recommend this experience to every one.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We completely agree—Plitvice Lakes truly deserve a place on every bucket list. We’re delighted to hear that Marko’s punctuality, safe driving, and local knowledge helped make your day smooth and enjoyable, especially by allowing you to experience both the upper and lower lakes so efficiently. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again on another tour in Croatia!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Plitvice Lakes Private Tour from Zagreb - Flexible Schedule: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zagreb.
How much does Plitvice Lakes Private Tour from Zagreb - Flexible Schedule cost?
+
Prices start at $615 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zagreb usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Plitvice Lakes Private Tour from Zagreb - Flexible Schedule take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Zagreb is not rushed.
Is Plitvice Lakes Private Tour from Zagreb - Flexible Schedule worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zagreb, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Plitvice Lakes Private Tour from Zagreb - Flexible Schedule?
+
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 Plitvice Lakes Private Tour from Zagreb - Flexible Schedule suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Plitvice Lakes Private Tour from Zagreb - Flexible Schedule?
+
Around 10 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 Zagreb 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 Zagreb and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Plitvice Lakes Private Tour from Zagreb - Flexible Schedule 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 Zagreb 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 Zagreb?
+
On Outty we rank every Zagreb experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Communism & Croatian Homeland War Tour, Zagreb Highlights: Old Town, WWII tunnels, Funicular & Tastings, Old Zagreb Private 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 Zagreb?
+
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 Zagreb?
+
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.
