Private Rastoke, Cheese Farm and Plitvice Lakes Day Trip from Zagreb by Driver-Guide

A private day out from Zagreb with a driver-guide who collects travelers at their accommodation in the morning. If the address cannot be reached by car, pickup moves to the nearest accessible spot. While still in the city, the guide gives an overview of the day and some of Zagreb's history and culture. The road to Plitvice Lakes passes Karlovac and stops at Rastoke, a village of watermills sometimes described as a smaller version of the park, for a short break with coffee, tea or another drink. A second stop in Rakovica is built around a family-run farm, where the group tastes award-winning local cheese and hears how it is made. Peka, a dish cooked under a cast iron bell, may be on offer too. Inside the park the guide takes the group around both the Upper and Lower Lakes, with a boat ride and a bus ride included. Before entering, the guide explains the trails and sets the pace to the group's preference, steering around the crowds. The walk ends at the viewpoints over the Lower Lakes, and the drive back reaches Zagreb in the early evening. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure.
