Review of Gray Line Croatia’s Plitvice Lakes tour from Split, covering transport, walking, boat rides, costs, crowds, and practical tips.

“This was a great tour. Ivanka. Was amazing. She made the trip. The office charged us 20 euros more cause they didn’t fill a bus. They said it was the entrance fee. The entrance fee does not change. They charge cause not enough people go. No where does it say you have to pay more if a smaller group. Was happy with the tour guide but grey lines I would give one star.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 289 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $168

Travel from Split to Zagreb with a four-hour Plitvice Lakes visit, guided walks, boat and train rides, plus a useful Željava airbase stop.

“Given the price for taking the same trip and returning to the city of origin is about $100 less, having your luggage moved and providing a transfer is rip off, albeit convenient. For $162 I would have expected a smaller group and not close to 50. While Ivanka did her very best and provided plenty of information, unless you were upfront it was hard to hear. She was very energetic and the tour in the park was good. Gray line the company provides this tour from both split and Zagreb and you just switch buses at the national park. The tour guide that took over for Zagreb, Daniella was very…”

Travel from Zagreb to Split through Plitvice Lakes, with guided walks, boat and train rides, hotel drop-off, and practical transfer advice.

“Plitvice Lakes was a wonderful place to visit. Full of beauty, scenic shots and natural landscapes. We thoroughly enjoyed the park visit and come away with lasting memories. The tour itself leaves much to be desired, with a big hole in our wallets. The tour itself capitalizes on a niche service as there's limited ways to get from Zagreb to Split. While the tour conveniently packages the connection and tour into one, the cost factor is unreasonable (i.e., the tour takes advantage for lack of alternative options). We booked other trips in our Croatian vacation that were lengthier in duration (the drive and tour) with half the cost. We expected…”
