Tour Dubrovnik → Plitvice Lakes

Full day trip to national park Plitvice Lakes

UNESCO world heritage

Plitvice Lakes is the oldest and most famous national park in Croatia. It covers an area of 300 Km2 with a lake system of 16 lakes cascading one on the other. The lakes comprise 1% of the park. Stunning unspoiled nature, thick forests, and mountain meadows, all surrounding the lakes make it a perfect place for a hike and visit. There are numerous trails that can be taken, as well as little train and boat ride (depending on the season).
The national park is part of UNESCO world heritage and is a must-see for all guests coming to Croatia.

Due to a number of inquiries by our guests, we decided to organize and sell this tour. It is a long day tour starting from and returning to Dubrovnik on the same day, but it is a unique way to see Plitvice Lakes and enjoy the beauty of its nature.

Price: €690 (up to three persons)

 Verified Amazing personal experience
Filip made the private tour 100% worth it. The itinerary was a great complement to our stay in Dubrovnik: stunning nature and charming old towns all as a backdrop for Filip & his local experts’ thorough narrative on the history and culture of Montenegro. Plus, the comfortable car and Filip’s humor & border crossing savvy made the car ride fly by.

 Verified Bay of Kotor day trip from Dubrovnik
We did a day trip from Dubrovnik to Montenegro and had a great experience. Filip was prompt, organized, and very friendly. Start early if you can to make the most of the day. He shared a lot of helpful context along the drive, and the coffee stop overlooking Perast was a highlight with incredible views. In Montenegro, the local guide was fantastic and the town felt relaxed and authentic, especially with no cruise ships in port. Lunch on the way back lived up to the hype and was the perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend.

 Verified Day tour from Dubrovnik to Kotor
We had a wonderful private tour to Montenegro from Dubrovnik. The car was clean and comfortable, and our driver enhanced the experience by pointing out beautiful viewpoints and sharing helpful context along the way. Once we arrived in Kotor, we were guided by a fantastic local guide who brought the history to life, highlighted hidden details we would have otherwise missed, and made the entire experience engaging and personal. One of the highlights of the day was our lunch stop at a truly magical venue. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere felt like something out of a story book—peaceful, scenic, and unforgettable.

 Verified Dubrovnik to Ston, Kravica Falls, Mostar and Blagaj
We had amazing private trip to Ston, Kravica Falls, Mostar, and the Blagaj Dervish House in Bosnia coming from and returning to Dubrovnik, Croatia. Luka was wonderful and knowledgeable guide and was a good and safe driver. They also planned a Guided Tour in Mostar for us as part of the tour with Guide Amna. She was great and we learned a lot about the history of Bosnia and the Balkans. This was an awesome tour and really memorable day and was a highlight for our trip!!

 Verified Unforgettable day!!
Filip is an outstanding tour guide. He got us through customs easily and brought us to several amazing stops. Each better than the last. The finale was dinner at what my husband and I rates “the best dining experience we ever had.” Carolina mlini . It’s a must. The food service and grounds are heavenly. Filip was friendly personal knowledgeable and all around someone easy to be with on a 10-12 hr tour. Go with him. You won’t be disappointed.

 Verified Best Private Tour from Dubrovnik
Excellent day trip round the beautiful Montenegro. Filip knew the scenic routes around the area and where/when to go to avoid border control queues. Took us to the best view points for photographs and had amazing insight into the geography and history of Croatia and Montenegro. Lunch was absolutely fantastic at an incredibly beautiful restaurant with a delicious freshly caught fish dish they filleted at the table. Highly recommend for a private, personalised tour.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful Day Trip to Kotor with Filip Travel — Plus a Hidden Gem!

We booked Filip Travel’s “Bay of Kotor” tour from Cavtat and it was one of the best parts of our trip. The drive along the Dalmatian Coast was stunning, and our guide, Filip, was friendly and full of interesting stories.

Highlights included the pretty village of Perast, the boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks (worth the extra €20), exploring medieval Kotor City, and incredible views from Trojica Hill.

After the tour, we had a memorable lunch at what Filip called his hidden gem — it turned out to be one of the best meals we had on our entire visit.

Highly recommend Filip Travel for a smooth, scenic, and unforgettable day in Montenegro.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our tour with Filip to Montenegro was wonderful. He picked us up early to avoid potential crowds at border control but we had no problem and it was smooth sailing to Montenegro. The drive was comfortable, peaceful, beautiful easy it was perfect. We stopped early in the bay of Kotor in a wonderful café for a coffee or a drink, and it started a journey of beautiful visits to Kotor, Perast, and just the most beautiful mountain ocean area that I've been to.

Felip was a wonderful, educated, strong guide. Highly recommended

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Montenegro was on my bucket list.    I knew it would be a beautiful place to visit. But, today’s 12-hour tour to Montenegro was actually MAGICAL thanks to our exclusive guide Filip Matijević!    Filip’s shared his abundant knowledge of the local culture, geography and historic events (current and past), had connections with other persons in the town who provided additional value to the day, and he selected of a beautiful local garden estate for an amazing meal.  Beyond all that, I enjoyed his company and his sense of humor.   When I visit this area again I will want Filip as my guide again!
