    The Plitvice National Park was glorious and unforgettable. I loved those clear still lakes falling into each other. And Zatar was an extra treat too - very beautiful and interesting. Our guide, Damier, was always professional, patient and informative. He was impressively knowledgeable about everything.

    Our local guide was superb. His knowledge and love of his country was infectious. He was constantly able to tell us that little bit more. Even the transfers were fun! I enjoyed staying in the smaller quirky hotels

    The walks in Plitvice, Velebit mountains and gorge were great. The coastal walk was a bit boring.

    The national parks were stunning! Our guide Damir was excellent throughout. Sunset in Zadar and the sea organ was really special. Loved the random lunch at the forest hut in Packlenica with the bean and ham soup!
