Sonja was really nice and helpful throughout the tour.”

There are a wall of stairs to come out of the park to the meeting point at the end, so if you have limited mobility I would keep that in mind. We came in off season, so it was less crowded which was a bonus. Mia was so knowledgeable about not only Krka National park but also Croatia’s history and culture. Not to mention she is very…”
