Perfect 8 day trip in beautiful Croatia - first class in every respect.
Perfect first class zagreb split dubrovnick 8 day trip. Hotels all in best locations. When we booked the trip we did not realize in addition to our fantastic, knowledgeable and considerate private driver - Kruno - we would have a personal specialized guide at each location. Hrvoje (owner / organizer) was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire 8 day trip. This trip allowed us to experience Croatia’s beauty (including its coastal splendor), culture/history, and cuisine. Could not recommmed this trip more highly.

Wonderful 7 days!
We had an awesome time in our 6 day Croatia tour from Ljubljana to Zagreb to Split to Dubrovnik! Hrvoje arranged for seamless transfers to each of the places above with stops at wonderful places like Postojna, Plitvice, Trogir, Ston, and even Kotor in Montenegro. Our driver Damir was very professional and all the guides we met were wonderful! We learned a lot about Croatia and its history. The guides were so helpful in giving suggestions as to restaurants and other places to visit. There was even complimentary airport dropoff after our tour. We loved our recent trip with Croatia Private Tours. Will definitely recommend to friends and family :)

15 Day Private Tour from Zagreb to Dubrovnik -Best Way to Travel
I am glad I booked a 15 day private guided trip with this company after reading over 600+ 4-5 star reviews on Tripadvisor. Drazen our driver was the perfect combination of professional, punctual, courteous, attentive, flexible, and funny with a dry sense of humor balanced by genuine interest. The other reviews and photos already give you a great description of the impeccable service that contributes to a wonderful experience. Only thing I would add is that the true test of a tour company is when things do not work out and how the company/people react. When we were driving into Lake Bled to check into our hotel, the stormy weather shut down all the boat rides and made it difficult to even walk around the lake. Had we booked one of those large group tours, we would have just stayed in our hotel, but Drazen called a friend of his and confirmed in real time that the weather in the next valley in Lake Bohinj was clear. We quickly drove to lake Bohinj, took the gondola up to Mount Vogel to see stunning views of the valley and Julian Alps before hiking Savica falls. We unfortunately were in a minor accident in Split when a delivery driver in a scooter illegally turned left and scraped the Mercedes. Our driver was not at fault. Within 30 minutes of the accident, Hrvoje (owner) arrived and worked with Drazen to seamlessly switch us to another vehicle for our next adventure. If I were to go back to Croatia or Slovenia, I would definitely book with them!

Wonderful experience
Really thankful to have gone on my first trip to croatia with them! Manage to see a lot of different part of croatia at our convenience. We had a tour from zagreb to dubrovnik. Damir , who was our driver, was friendly and funny. He gave us advise on places and food to visit , ensured we were getting from one place to another and was really knowledgable. Had a good time talking to him and understanding what he do and hearing him explain to us a little on the different area in croatia ! Really glad to have met him. We met many wonderful and knowledgeable local guides too. special thanks to ana who brought us around split and trogir. she was super informative on the history in split and showing us many nice coffee and lunch spots ;) She had a lot of energy and kept the tour fun and exciting Also would like to thank ana for being such a fun local guide in hvar. it was really nice of her to have a map and photos that she would refer to when explaining to us history and information of hvar! She was really funny too and match the humor of our family :D she ensured we all had a wonderful time while still making sure we get on to the ferry on time. Would sure to be going back to croatia private tour again when i come back to croatia and would definitely want to meet these 3 people again and explore croatia on a deeper level

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Zagreb to Split via Plitvice Lakes (3 hours stop is included): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zagreb.
How much does Zagreb to Split via Plitvice Lakes (3 hours stop is included) cost?
+
Prices start at $434 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 Zagreb to Split via Plitvice Lakes (3 hours stop is included) take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Zagreb to Split via Plitvice Lakes (3 hours stop is included) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Zagreb, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Zagreb to Split via Plitvice Lakes (3 hours stop is included)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Zagreb to Split via Plitvice Lakes (3 hours stop is included) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zagreb to Split via Plitvice Lakes (3 hours stop is included)?
+
Around 9 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zagreb to Split via Plitvice Lakes (3 hours stop is 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.
