“Amazing experience! Sat on the top deck with my family (group of 6) & had the best time with Emily as our guide! Started the morning off with some traditional shots & made our way through the beautiful islands.

We had an amazing time & will recommend to all my friends & family visiting Dubrovnik!”

Review of the Krka Waterfalls day tour from Split or Trogir, with coach transport, a Krka boat ride, free time, costs, and practical tips.
“Ivan was our guide, he was fun, incredibly witty and knowledgeable.

Krka is gorgeous and there’s very little walking involved in the entire process, so that’s great for families or the elderly.”

“What a shame. The boat trip itself was enjoyable. Sadly the transfer back afterwards never showed up, and when we asked a simple question had a bus ticket physically thrown in our faces What sort of company employs a human being that does this. This is technically assault, and have never experienced anything like this. Sadly this individual is employed by the company. Viator also could not care less”
