Perfect hosts for your visit to Zagreb and surroundings
We had the pleasure to be accompanied by Iva as a guide and nino as a driver. Service provided was impeccable. Tours proposed were adjusted to our liking allowing some flexibility where needed. Really nothing one can complain about. Swanky and Iva s team can definitely help you plan your trip to make the best out of your time and guide you to see the best the country has to offer, at a very reasonable price.

Kvala Swanky
We had arranged a day trip to Lake Plitvice / Rastoke in 2020 through Swanky Travel, before our travel plans were impacted by the pandemic. Optimistically we rebooked it with them for 2021 but had to cancel it again. Booked it for 2022 and delighted to make it over to Zagreb, to hear Swanky could still help us with the day trip. To thank us for our loyalty Iva, their branch manager, arranged and took us on a 2hr walking tour of Zagreb, which was so kind of her. So glad she did, as we learned so much about the city and Croatia, saw things we would have missed. It was really enjoyable, Iva is passionate about sharing with you her knowledge and insight, and in a fun way. The next day her colleague Ivan took us to Lake Plitvice and Rastoke. As there was 8 of us we had the small coach to ourselves, which was brilliant. Ivan was an excellent and safe driver, who looked after us and provided local information through the day. Rastoke was our first stop and is a fascinating place, with the way the water flows through it. For Lake Plitvice, Ivan dropped us off at Lake Plitvice Entrance 2 and picked us up at Entrance 1. There is a walk (roughly 2-3 hours) around the lake and waterfalls, with options for boats across. The boardwalks which take you round the waterfalls are amazing, so close to the water. It was brilliant to spend the afternoon in such a beautiful place. We were thankful it was relatively quiet and so 3rd time lucky to spend time at Rastoke & Lake Plitvice. Beautiful and just the ticket. Kvala Swanky.

Beautiful day in nature
We had a wonderful time, the weather was amazing and the lakes were beautiful. The tour was perfectly planed time wise and we loved our guide. There wasn't to many people so the experience was better because at most of the parts we were alone. The nature is breathtaking and the water is so clear. On our way back we stopped at this amazibg little village Rastoke for a homade lunch. Would love to go again when we will have a chance. Tnx Swanky

Great Tour of Off Season Plitvice Lakes
We had s great hassle and rush free day in Rastoke and Plitvice Lakes with Swanky Travel. Off season Plitvice might not be super colourful but still an amazing place to visit without the crowds, and we got lucky with some glorious sunshine too. Everything went as planned and with no hiccups whatsoever. Car war so comfortable that I slept all the way from and back to Zagreb. :D

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Plitvice lakes and Rastoke_tickets included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zagreb.
How much does Private Plitvice lakes and Rastoke_tickets included cost?
+
Prices start at $225 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 Private Plitvice lakes and Rastoke_tickets included take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Private Plitvice lakes and Rastoke_tickets included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Private Plitvice lakes and Rastoke_tickets included?
+
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 Private Plitvice lakes and Rastoke_tickets included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Plitvice lakes and Rastoke_tickets included?
+
Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Plitvice lakes and Rastoke_tickets included 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.
