Zagreb to Plitvicka Jezera Destination Reviews

Good！. I want to express my gratitude to our driver! He was fantastic, with great driving skills. I really liked how he clearly communicated the break times in English—this was a huge help for a non-local like me. The bus was also clean and on time. My only suggestion is to improve the platform indicators, as 'Plitvice Lakes' was missing from the display screen, making it a bit confusing to find the bus at first. Still, I had a great trip. Thanks again!

The bus was full as I was the last person aboard on the leg back and I had to sit on the stairs of the bus near the second exit for the entire 2+ hours. Driver didn’t speak English unfortunately.

Nobody could tell us where exactly the bus was standing. Also the lady at the reception had bo clue. The bus had no text on it at all so it was very hard to find.

It was just a bus ride. Nothing special. The bus was parked at the platform. When driver came I asked him for my journey. He showed ignorance. Route and bus company were same. He sent me to a flix bus which was packed. After sometime he also came to same place with bus but compelled us to get in flix bus. When we reached our destination he also reached there with the same bus. Very sorry state of affairs. No seat reservation or assurance. You are at your own. Such drivers should be thrown out who don't respect customers.
