Awful tour. Was charged... - Awful tour. Was charged mysterious €40 upon pick up from driver with no communication what it was for (tour was already paid for on Viator). Upon arrival to lakes, we were handed off to park tour guide, Marijanna, who handed us a map of directions and just told us to follow the boat rides and trails to letter „h”. Little did we know she was actually supposed to stay with us and guide us through the park. Later we saw her guiding a different tour group in the park. Because there was no guidance, many on the tour returned past 3pm to the driver meeting spot and ended up returning late back to Split. Would not recommend as I am not sure what the tour paid for besides the gas and the drive to the lakes.

Would not recommend - We read great reviews about this tour and were so excited to go on this tour but, it was a disappointment to say the least. I booked a tour from Split, which I entered my hotel address in but was told that I booked one from Trogir?? We met the driver in front of the travel agency office in Split at 6:50am and went to Trogir to pick up other passengers. It seemed like there weren’t enough people going so they combined the two tours. Instead of letting us know, they made it seem like we made a mistake. Half way through the drive to the national park, our driver asked us to pay 100 euro….which I wasn’t sure where that number came from as I had already spoken to the travel agency and was informed that our tickets for the park would be 22 euros each so, 88 euros total for the 4 of us. I gave our driver 90 euros but never got our change back. To remind you, we already paid for the tour through this website and had to pay cash for the entrance tickets to the park. The driver dropped us off at some random hotel and told us to wait for our tour guide in the rain. We didn’t know what was going on at first as the driver just told us to get out of the car and didn’t mention anything else. The tour guide arrived 10 minutes later and took us through a path behind the hotel to get to the park. We eventually found out that there are 2 entrances but weren’t sure why the driver didn’t just drop us off there. Then, we were advised by the tour guide that everything was closed due to the rain. We understand things happen and it’s out of their control, but we wish that we were made aware of the situation and were given an option to cancel the trip since everything at the park was closed. The guided tour was very quick. He took us down a path to see different water falls for 20 minutes and then left. Our your guide Dominic was nice and funny, but the tour overall seemed rushed and we didn’t really learn much. I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone.
