The tour exceeded the description provided. They took care of all of the lgistics which allowed us to focus on the tour and sightseeing. Plitivece National Park is astounding and Ella helped us through the tour, stopping at some of the great spots to see the park. In addition, she took us to a couple other spots where there weren't other park visitors and teh viewpoints were psectacular. The drive was also intersting and she explained important points of reference on the way. Our drive kept us comfortable throughout without wasting time.

Ella was a pleasure to work with. Answering my pre-tour questions efficiently. We met an energetic gal in Zagreb, who from the start, was concerned with umbrellas etc to ensure we had a great tour. Our tour of Zagreb was informative & Ella made sure we knew the layout before leaving us on our own. Next was Plitvice Lakes which we toured early and with the skillfulness of our guide, we avoided crowds for 3 hours. Next was trip to Zadar where Ella arranged for an amazing guide. Finally Ella delivered us to Kastella to meet up with our cycling tour. Ella and the people she hires are all amazing. Very informed with a great sense of humour. Very fun! No complaints. She can put together any tour you would like. Really, for ease touring Croatia, hire this gal!!

Plitvice is one of the busiest/most tourist places in Croatia. It is for good reason, the place is absolutely gorgeous. That said you are going to need a great guide. Ella is that person. Ella was able to navigate the lakes with great ease. Not only that she got us to some of the off the beaten path places and I really feel like we saw a lot of things most didn't. Her knowledge of the lakes is top notch. If you are gonna go I would definitely recommend Ella for you trip.

Rafaella is a gem She met us in Zagreb for a walking tour and then took us to Split utilizing a driver for that portion of the guided tours. She was pleasant, helpful and accommodating at all times. Unfortunately she couldn't control the weather, but always had a smile on our face. Would gladly use her again.
