- 378samahr0 contributionsAmazing tourThe trip was amazing and Ella was soooo great and knowledgeable and showed us all amazing places and hidden gems. I would highly recommend her for any tour in Croatia!Written 4 September 2024
- priyavarma0 contributionsHidden gemThis is an amazing place and a must visit. This is generally not found on any of the itinerary and is a hidden gem. The vibes and beaches are incredibleWritten 21 August 2024
- davindeb0 contributionsBad Travel Budget Transfer Croatia,A terrible Croatian travel operator, Budget Transfer.The worst three days of my life were spent with them; all of the guides were rude and irrational, and they would not answer my inquiries until they were furious. You should all book other businesses instead of them because of their really bad service.Written 6 July 2024
- pri1270 contributionsRain or shine, we had a great timeThis was really an amazing trip. We were picked up from our hotel at 8:30 sharp and made our way to the national park with quick stops on the way! It was raining but we still made the most of it. Our guide Ella was truly fantastic, she was so smart and great attitude to be around ! We really had a great time with this tour. Would reccomend this to anyone looking for a private experience. Beautiful dayWritten 14 May 2024

- malsri660 contributionsMemorable trip to CroatiaWe recently went on an 8 day trip around Croatia and used the private transfer agency for transportation and local guides . Everything was very professionally done and things went without a hitch. Our contact was very responsive and organized and it was a pleasure to work with her. We also really liked our driver, Ivica , who was with us for 5 days and drove us from Zagreb to Dubrovnik I would highly recommend using this local agency to organize your trip in CroatiaWritten 12 May 2023
- Daan V0 contributionsAdventurous way to see the natureZiplining was a real adventurous way to see the nature in this area. The instructors gave a really clear explanation before we started ziplining. There wasn’t a moment I felt unsafe. I’m glad we did this on a cloudy day, because in the sun, it would be very hot I think.Written 27 July 2022
- Deanie110 contributionsStress free day trip to DubrovnikExcellent way to see Dubrovnik while staying in Split. We decided to hire a private driver and car and sure were happy we did! Ivan picked us up at 7am promptly. We took the coast road there and made a few stops. Fresh oysters right out of the sea, Ston the mini Dubrovnik and salt producing village with an ancient Great Wall. We were dropped off right at the entrance of Dubrovnik walled city. Ivan our driver was just a phone call away when we decided to head back earlier than set time. The price is well worth considering car rental, gasoline,parking and the driver’s knowledge. Perfect way to experience The beautiful Croatian country side.Written 23 March 2022
- rianemuan0 contributionsAmazing Day TripGoran was an excellent tour guide. On the way to the lakes, he was able to explain the history of Croatia. The lakes and water falls were breath taking and we were lucky that our tour mates were fun people too. It was an amazing day trip and an experience we will not forget.Written 5 October 2021
- Jeriharper0 contributionsBest way to get from Venice to Zagreb.What a fun way to get from Venice to Zagreb. The best part of this trip was meeting Ella and Drazen. They were on time and easy to talk to. They were the absolute best guides and taught us so much about Croatia. I feel like I made a fast friend in Ella. A+ service. And they got us there safe and sound. Thank you for making trip a pleasure.Written 18 July 2021
- Pamela F0 contributionsWell Planned 6 Day Tour!Budget Transfer provided a personalized, throughly planned, well thought-out six day trip. They are far more than just a "transfer" company. Dražen (as driver) and Rafaella (as guide) were with me every step of the way, answering questions and being great travel companions. :) Rafaella was knowledgeable on so many subjects: Croatian history, current life in Croatia, and she was truly a pleasant and educational personality throughout all situations. My desires were fully taken into account, and I never felt led to do what the company might benefit from (as is often the case with guided tours) - everything was fully customized to what I wished to do & see. And where I chose to leave the details up to them, they were completely handled, with ease. I requested a tour covering a lot of ground and wanted to see many cities, and that we did! We kept moving and I saw so much more than I ever could have on my own. All the tickets, ferries, and timing was perfectly planned. From my very first emails with Biljana, I was impressed with the organization and thoroughness of Budget Transfer's planning. They went above and beyond to answer all my questions. I highly recommend Budget Transfer Croatia, for any length or type of trip. They can provide just what you're looking for, whatever that may be. And, with a friendly smile and a personal touch!Written 25 October 2020
- mtyler780 contributionsWonderful experience!We had a wonderful time on our tour with Budget Transfer. We visited Plitvice Lakes and even though there were a lot of people in the Park, our guide Ella managed to show us some beautiful viewpoints where there were no people at all! After our tour we opted for some cheese tasting so we visited a small family owned place. The food was great! Well worth it! The vehicle was very clean and comfortable and our driver Dragon made sure we were safe and happy as he kept cracking jokes. Thank you guys for an amazing day!Written 4 November 2019
- s0jun00 contributionsGood memoriesIt was so nice trip for us, and the driver kindly to attend us. We want to go another way to go around Plitlize National Lake in next time.Written 2 November 2019
- SESNoVA0 contributionsAmazing!We had a basic plan for 12 days in Croatia, but Rafaella made it happen! Tour guides and drivers, and ferry tickets, and transfers! Iva in Zagreb provided airport pickup, a city tour and an amazing trip to Istria. Marvelous truffles in Motovun! Maria in Pula gave a wonderful tour. Dragan, our driver and new best friend, from Zagreb to Plitvice to Zadar to Split, did an amazing job of making everything happen as it should— AND added in an olive oil tasting luncheon, and the most amazing Soparnik lunch in Gata(which we never would have known how to find!). Guides in Plitvice and Zadar were perfect! DJ in Split was the best tour guide ever. Dali in Hvar was so informative and accommodating! And Juliya in Dubrovnik was remarkably informative, and just such a nice person! All made this time in Croatia simple for us... and ever so educational, fun, tasty, beautiful , delightful, and, oh my, do I wish to go back!Written 2 November 2019
- Tyson_olcott0 contributionsDO Go Chasing WaterfallsDisregard TLC’s advice on this experience. These waterfalls are worth the chase. Ella and her team were extraordinary when it comes to service, historic knowledge and hospitality. This is a must see experience next time you find yourself in Croatia.Written 3 April 2019

Our guide, Rafealla, was great. She communicated to us a few days prior to let us know what to bring and time of the pick up. At our two stops she gave us a quick tour to let us know what to do and where to go for the best treats. But then left us alone to explore. The places we went Lake Bled and the city of Ljubljana. Both were great spots to visit for the day. The driver was fabulous!

It was an enjoyable day trip from Zagreb to Slovenia. Ljubjana walking tour with our local tour guide is enjoyable. It would have been nice if our driver made some introduction about Lake Bled while we were driving on the way to the Lake. Would still recommend this tour.

Our entire trip was about eight hours. Our driver, Iva, was a great host and a skillful driver. She dropped us near the center of Ljubljana and let us explore on our own for two hours. We then headed to Lake Bled and had two-and-a-half hours there. Both destinations are pretty compact and it's easy to see the sights without too much advance preparation.
We did spend quite a bit of time in the car, driving from Zagreb and back, but it is mostly highway. Traffic was light (Monday) and the border crossings took only about 5 minutes each way. I don't recommend this trip on a weekend in the summer months because it will likely take much longer due to the heavier traffic.
If you'd like a quick introduction to Slovenia, I highly recommend this trip.

The drive and guide were very nice. It was a very easy day of learning about Slovenia. The boat at Bled Lake accepts only cash, so prepare for that.

Budget transfers as per me are the best tour organizers in croatia. We had 4 tours with budget transfers and all of them exceeded our expectations. Their prices are most competitive and services have zero compromise.
I would personally thank bilijana our tour manager, tamara , milos, pettara and ella our guides. Denis and djouran our drivers.
Thanks a lot guys for making our holidays special.

Bled lake was magical and Ljubljana tour was unexpectantly amazing. The downtown old town city square was the best I have ever experienced.
