“I can't rate this tour high enough! The company was excellent about booking last minute, arranging car seats for young children, etc. The guide (Ivan) was the best!! He was so attentive to our children's needs, safety, etc. One of the best, if not the single best, tour guides I have ever had. I can't rate this high enough. Wonderful time at Plitvice lakes!!”
Review of a private Kornati speedboat tour from Zadar, with island views, swimming at Lojena Bay, costs, tips, and practical advice.
“I paid online, but they asked for an extra $200 Euro in cash at the end!? Said it was for boat fuel. This should be included in the price from the start - we had already paid $350 for the boat in advance. The tour itself and our guide Rocco was awesome though.”
Water, stone, table and trail — the best of each.
