We had a wonderful time...
We had a wonderful time on this tour. We started in a large group & were then transferred to another guide with a personal tour just the 4 of us once we got to Plitvice National Park. We had Mislav as our guide who tailored the walk to our groups needs. This enabled my 73 year old mum & 76 year old auntie to go at their own pace & enjoy the scenery without worrying about keeping up or inconveniencing others wanting to walk faster. Mislav was so patient, kind & informative. We had the best day!

Transfer Split to Zagreb via Plitvice Lakes.
The Lakes were lovely .However, our group was too large for one tour guide… many couldn’t hear the information. All restaurants were closed so we were unable to buy any food or drinks. Take your own!! Transfer worked well.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful lakes and that the transfers worked smoothly. We also appreciate your comments regarding group size and the availability of food and drinks, and we will take this into consideration to improve the experience for future guests. We hope to welcome you again for an even better tour! Kind regards,

Wonderful!!
Our tour guide Barry was the absolute highlight- well informed, educating but very entertaining along the way. He made the trip just fantastic, despite the rain!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that Barry made your tour so enjoyable, even despite the rain. Safe travels, Tours in Croatia

Well run trip designed to maximize your time at Plitvice
This transfer is very well run and designed to maximize your time at Plitvice. I traveled on Monday (June 1) and the group size was relatively small compared to the weekends, according to the guides. They can have as many as 80 people on this tour in a single day. Plitvice is very popular so you need to prepare yourself to be walking with a lot of people. It’s not the optimal way to experience this beautiful park but if you need a transfer to Zagreb, it’s a decent option. The bus was very comfortable. Guides and driver very professional.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear you found the transfer well organized and enjoyed the professionalism of our guides and driver. Safe travels, Tours in Croatia

Perfect way to travel from Split to Zagreb
We had a wonderful experience with Mia and Sanja as our guides. They made the transfer from Split to Zagreb seamless and stress-free, turning a journey into a sightseeing adventure. The highlight was getting to see the beautiful Plitvice Lakes along the way. Both guides were friendly, professional, and made the trip engaging. A fantastic way to see more of Croatia while travelling between cities!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear you had such a smooth and enjoyable experience travelling from Split to Zagreb and visiting Plitvice Lakes along the way. Safe travels, Tours in Croatia

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Split to Zagreb Group Transfer with Plitvice Lakes guided tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Split to Zagreb Group Transfer with Plitvice Lakes guided tour cost?
+
Prices start at $165 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 Split to Zagreb Group Transfer with Plitvice Lakes guided tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Split to Zagreb Group Transfer with Plitvice Lakes guided tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 123 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 Split to Zagreb Group Transfer with Plitvice Lakes guided 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 Split to Zagreb Group Transfer with Plitvice Lakes guided tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Split to Zagreb Group Transfer with Plitvice Lakes guided tour?
+
Around 43 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Split to Zagreb Group Transfer with Plitvice Lakes guided 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.
