The Zicara apartment at the end was especially perfect in timing and location - we had a comfortable cozy stay and an opportunity to decompress from a busy whirlwind 10 days.
Highlights of our trip: oyster tasting, hikes in the national parks, interesting castles, Mostar visit, Ston wine-tasting, Split harbour and Dubrovnik walls.
Bruno went above and beyond in every aspect of our stay. As a dedicated guide, he made our trip personal, informative, and varied. Bruno passed along his love for and excitement about the country of Croatia. Goran with the boat trip to the Elaphiti Islands was also perfect as a guide, historian and conversationist. Our thanks to Robbie and both of these guides who managed our Croatian itinerary and visit so enjoyably.

Nearly every detail of our trip was planned by Anna-Maria with our preferences in mind, and she performed nearly flawlessly. She was easily accessible during the trip, and when we asked for tweaks to the itinerary, she was quickly on everything. Anna-Maria was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, accommodating, and an all around joy to deal with. We had drivers and/or guides every day of our trip, and each one was seemingly better than the one the day before. Well done kimkim and Anna-Maria.

I would highly recommend Roberto to any of my friends.

Additional comments : Robi shared his extensive knowledge of the history, culture, architecture and politics enthusiastically.

My husband and I chose the 17 day self guided Best of Croatia Tour, and it was a fabulous itinerary customized by Robi. We have really appreciated all of the patience that Robi has shown us throughout this process (since it initially was scheduled for Fall of 2020. Throughout the pandemic lockdown Robi and I kept in touch, and he never pressured us at all to book, but was kind and understanding of our desire to come when we felt it was the right time.
Our trip was outstanding and we felt that we really did experience "the Best of Croatia". Robi's suggestions for our itinerary were excellent. We liked starting in Zagreb, the capital, and appreciated our tour of the highlights of the capital city with Bruno, who was so passionate about his country! Part of the excitement of traveling for us is learning about the history and getting a glimpse into the culture, and Bruno did that! We were happy that Robi suggested to drive to the north of Croatia to visit the Trakoscan Castle - I loved how the furniture is still set up in their place and you can almost imagine how it was back in the 14th century! Also we were happily surprised at the beautiful highways that Croatia has, they are all so pristine and it was a pleasure to travel on them. We also appreciated the GPS that Robi made sure was in our rental.
We adored Istria and indeed it did remind us of Tuscany, so lovely. The little towns of Groznjan was super cute, as was Motovun. Porec was gorgeous and we will always remember the delicious seafood meal we had at Konoba Aba!
Plitvice was a highlight - I am so happy that Robi booked our accommodation near the park entrance the night before, as we were almost the first to enter the park, and seeing those stunning waterfalls almost by ourselves was just the best. We can understand how busy the park gets later on in the day or in the summer months, and it would have been a lesser experience, had we gone when it was crowded-it was perfect.
Each day was planned perfectly by Robi, with so much thought and consideration. He would send us pins each night for the following day, and so we were able to navigate the driving part all so well, and did not have to use data (which Robi taught us)!
There were so many highlights along the way - we loved the city of Zadar - it is full of character, and it is so beautiful, with the sea organ providing a wonderful ambience-just loved it!
Robi also placed us in accommodation right at the gates of Krka - he suggested we catch the first boat and we did-Krka is simply breathtaking!! The power of those waterfalls in incredible. We enjoyed the best Sea Bass of our lived in Skradin at Konoba Dalmatino.
We left our rental car in Split. Robi arranged for a walking tour of Split and it was a fantastic tour of the Diocletian's Palace.
Next we took the ferry to Hvar. This was our favorite island. It had a good "vibe", and we did not even party there (they call it the party island). It is just a gorgeous Medieval town, with quaint alleys full of little shops and restaurants. Robi booked "The DeVecchi Rooms" - our favorite-absolutely adorable, and again, the perfect location for walking everywhere. We took a beach day on Hvar at Ponkoji Dol Beach - you can walk from Old town-stay on the sea wall, don't follow Google maps-the walk on the sea wall is so pretty and the beach is lovely!
Then off to Korcula, another island with lots of vineyards, and a few beaches. We did a bike and wine tour here, and loved every minute of it.
Robi arranged for the driver, Goran, to pick us up in Korcula, take us on the car ferry to the Peljasic Peninsula, where we embarked on the BEST, most BREATHTAKING bike ride of our lives, along the coastline of the peninsula. Goran also took us to an amazing Vineyard where we sampled a few delicious red wines. This day was a definite highlight for us! And from there Goran drove us to Ston, where we walked the walls and had yet another seafood feast at Konoba Bakus-delicious!
Goran picked us up from Ston the next morning and onto our last stop-Dubrovinik. This walled city does not disappoint - it is jaw dropping!! We were not big fans of Split, but we LOVED Dubrovinik. The wall is incredible, and the stories from Antea, our walking guide in Dubrovnik were fascinating. Antea is a true local and she shares her very personal understanding of the history of Dubronik-one of the most interesting and cool cities you will ever see. We walked to another amazing beach, and the accommodations Robi arranged for us in Dubrovnik were perfect.
Frankly, this trip was faultless, because of Robi's attention to every detail. He is very hands on, and will communicate with you daily, in case there is anything you need. If you want to have someone plan and organize the best trip to get to know Croatia, you must book Robi-he is kind and considerate and so generous with his time - he went above and beyond and always says that his happiness comes from making his customers happy - how can you beat this? Thank you a million times Robi!

This was my first time using a travel agency for a trip. I've always been a very independent traveler and felt that using a travel agent would take away some of that spontaneity and freedom. In fact, it only enhanced the trip. Bruno arranged all the hotels and car rental for us, which took a lot of the stress away. And he was always there on WhatsApp to send us suggestions (always with easy-to-use directions), even helping us to figure out how to pay for parking, so that we were able to maximize our time enjoying the holiday and not spending wasted hours trying to find a place.
This was our first trip to southern Dalmatia and we saw a lot. I like to think of it as a great "taste" of what Dalmatia has to offer, and I can't wait to go back for more now that I have an idea of all there is to offer there. From Cavtat to Split and back again, it was all wonderful, the food (the oysters!), the sea, the hikes and bike rides of Mljet island, the fortifications of Ston and Dubrovnik, (and all the stairs). Especially lovely (and something I probably wouldn't have found on my own) was the Tristeno Arboretum and its Roman Aqueduct, reminding us just how long people have sailed these shores.
In addition we both really enjoyed our guide Pero's wonderfully detailed tour of the Diocletian's Palace in Split was both informative and filled with dry Dalmatian humor. In short, this could have been a mess of a holiday with us lost and frustrated, but thanks to Bruno and his team, we were able to pack a huge amount into a week.

Our travelling companions were in the apartment next door, so they were able to use the washing facility too. It is near the Old Town of Dubrovnik, but you do have to be able to manage a lot of steps to get there and back, If you're fit, then I would definitely recommend it.

I always like to wait a little bit after taking a trip to really think about the trip and give a review. The trip and itinerary put together by Robi and Kimkim was 5 stars and one of my favorite vacations I have ever been on. First, Robi was terrific on working on what we wanted on our trip from length of trip to hotels, to sights, etc. There was a lot of back and forth and I was always presented with multiple options. We had never been to Croatia so we were open to many suggestions, and it was perfect. Second the communication was top notch, any time we were going to a new city, Robi would whatsapp all details, even down to where to turn on a street, how early to be there, restaurants, etc. At no time on the vacation did we feel stressed as he setup everything perfect. Our trip was Split-Hvar-Korcula - Dubrovnik (with side trip to Kotor). The team he worked with was 5 stars with extra shout outs to Antonio in Split and Baldo in Dubrovnik. If you are wondering about using Robi and Kimkim, I highly recommend it for a special memorable trip.

As for sites, everyone is different, but renting a boat in HVAR and going into coves and swimming was terrific and beautiful, and the same happened in Dubrovnik and Robi was the captain and it was terrific also. Dubrovnik lives up to the hype. Kotor was incredible and you should ask for Baldo as a tour guide. In Split took a trip out to the Krka waterfalls and was a great trip. The day trip to Ston on the way to Dubrovnik was a great stop, from walking the walls to the oyster trip, to the salt plant. Be upfront with Robi on what you want and him and his team will find it, so enjoy Croatia

The guide at Mljet was a darling person but not such a knowledgeable guide and then we had a strange experience at the restaurant on the island where they brought us an appetizer that we didn't order and then charged us for it with the explanation of "It is on the menu". After lunch, there was definitely tension in the air - like I said, an odd experience. After going through this, I would recommend KimKim suggests that people bring a picnic (sandwiches) and water (our guide had none for us) and go to the fire stand at the top of the island - that view and hike was quite memorable. The restaurant is a rip-off -it was our most expensive meal in 12 days and we had no wine with lunch.
The guide Nika in Dubrovnik was an absolute joy to be with and she had SO much information to share with us - she was an incredible guide and just very warm and easy to be with.
The cooking class outside of Dubrovnik was amazing - they provided a vegetarian meal for me without me even asking! The things they had us make were lots of fun and easy - that experience was also fantastic.
We loved our guide "Disco" who drove us to Mostar and the falls. He was also so knowledgeable about the area, the war, the history of both Croatia and Bosnia. He was so personable and gave a lot of good options. I could have spent 30 minutes less at the falls to have that extra time in Mostar.

We loved Villa Nora in Hvar - the hostess there, Natalie, was so nice and ready to help us at any moment. The room was great and the breakfast was so cozy in the walled courtyard. Her sister was also a great cook and also was ready to help us. Great location and we loved being in old town.

The hotel in Korcula Fabris Inn was in a good location, adjacent to the old town. The room was nice but nothing special, the breakfast was nice as well and we loved sitting near the waterfront every morning while we had coffee and breakfast.

The Hotel Lero was nice, clean and modern and offered a fantastic breakfast each morning (I don't think I have had better coffee) - we enjoyed staying there. We had an issue with the A/C turning off around 5:30-6am which resulted in us getting up to turn it back on. We asked the front desk about it and it was never resolved (they sent someone up immediately but they said it was fine). I would have preferred staying in the old town just because that is where we spent the majority of our time but I think that is something we realized in hindsight. The hotel was nice but again, nothing special.

Villa Nora Hvar
Hvar

We loved Villa Nora in Hvar - the hostess there, Natalie, was so nice and ready to help us at any moment. The room was great and the breakfast was so cozy in the walled courtyard. Her sister was also a great cook and also was ready to help us. Great location and we loved being in old town. I also liked how the room was separate from the bathroom - that is a nice touch. As were the mints and dried figs that were everywhere - I would 100% go back to this hotel.

Authenticity & Character
I loved that it was in the old town - there is just a small sign with the name so it feels like it blends right in with all the surrounding buildings.
Location
Close to everything and not too many steps between the port and the hotel!

The Fabris Inn was in a very good location, adjacent to the old town. The room was nice and clean but nothing special (i.e. old with history). The breakfast was also nice, and we loved sitting near the waterfront every morning while we had coffee and breakfast. There was plenty to choose from at the buffet style and they had one or two different pastries each day.

This hotel is clean and modern and has an incredible breakfast buffet. The rooms were nice though I didn't love the frosted bathroom door - I was traveling with a friend so that was a tiny bit awkward. Loved the towel rack and the soap and lotion. The front desk was very helpful and always responded to any requests we made. They lent us umbrellas when needed as well as boxed breakfast when we needed it. The coffee is fantastic.

Authenticity & Character
It is just a modern hotel - so nothing really stands out about it.
Location
It is about a 20 minute walk to the old town of Dubrovnik. Taking the bus was easy but I would have preferred something closer.
Staff
The staff was very responsive to our questions and needs.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very comfortable beds and linens. There was an issue with the A/C cutting off in the early morning so that was annoying but not a deal breaker - otherwise, we could set the temperature and it was nice and cold.

Small Group Island of Hvar Cycling Tour

We loved our biking guide Jelana - the ride was beautiful and she kept a nice pace - not too slow nor too fast. She pointed out some really great things along the way (the old roman roads, the path that the parades follow near Easter, little Venice etc.) She would stop when asked to allow for photos. I loved stopping near the end for gelato - that was the best gelato we had on the trip! Ending in the basement with wine, cheese, olive oil, meats etc was an amazing finish to an already amazing bike ride. Would do this trip again and again.

Day Trip to Plitvice National Park from Split (group tour)

Plitvice lakes are amazing the amount of people there is ridiculous. I wouldn't go back here simply because of the number of people. The infrastructure around the park is great, very beautiful but you are sharing it with a constant stream of people before and after you. I don't know how to resolve this but I really felt like the numbers of people took away from the experience of it.

Plitvice lakes is a MUST do when in Croatia. It is so beautiful!! We had mixed feelings with the tour/guide.

I think it would've been just as pleasant to have been given the route that is normally taken, and to go alone. The lakes themselves were amazing and are very glad that they were incorporated into the trip.

We had an incredible experience in Croatia thanks to the incredible Antonia! Her planning, recommendations, and attention to detail ensured we had an unforgettable vacation that was completely stress free.
Hvar was our favorite location, but we enjoyed everywhere we visited. All of our booked experiences were excellent, but we’ve listed our three favorites below.
In Hvar, our guide Grgo took us on a private tour of the island, where we learned about the island’s history and the locals. We enjoyed his family’s natural wines in their Konoba with cheeses, meats, and olives, and were brought to a restaurant in Yelsa for a delicious seafood dinner. This was one of our very favorite things we did on the trip!
After arriving in Dubrovnik, we were taken by private driver to Ston (about an hour drive). There, we enjoyed the most beautiful scenery as were taken by boat to a floating bar. Unlimited fresh oysters, muscles, wine, and bread were prepared for us on the water. We enjoyed learning about the oyster farm and our guide even sent us home with the shells of the oysters we ate for crafting.
Sea kayaking in a small group around Dubrovnik’s city walls and local islands was so fun and beautiful. Our guide, Roger, was knowledgeable and friendly, and shared information with us about Dubrovnik’s history and natural beauty. We enjoyed snorkeling, swimming in caves, and catching some sun on the pebblely beaches.
Of all the food we ate in Croatia, our favorite meal was at Panorama in Dubrovnik. Antonia helped us secure cable car tickets and a reservation along the fence, looking over the city at sunset. It was incredible. We were impressed by the service, cocktails, appetizers, and (of course) our meals! The sea bass was SO good.
All in all, an amazing trip. Thanks again to Antonia for the guidance and excellent support!

We enjoyed driving views, seeing abandon towns, walking through charming little cities, and tasting delicious wines in an authentic family Konoba. The evening was topped off with a seafood dinner at a lovely local restaurant in Yelsa. We would highly recommend this experience to travelers! It was truly unique and something we’ll never forget. Thank you Grgo for your hospitality and guiding!

Full Day Boat Tour to Blue Cave & Pakleni Islands
Hvar

We enjoyed this tour and we had a great, friendly captain. The sites we visited were beautiful and we enjoyed swimming and snorkeling. The blue cave was amazing - worth the wait (~20 minutes), and there’s a bar there! All in all, I’d recommend a half day instead of a full day tour. It was a long day by the end.

Ston Oysters Experience & Wine Tasting
Croatia

This is one of our favorite things we did on our entire trip. The floating oyster bar was so unique and in such a beautiful location. Oysters are great in any setting, but this was truly unforgettable! We had unlimited oysters, muscles, wine, and bread. Our guide even boiled our oyster shells after we told him we wanted to save some and bring them home. We told us how we can preserve them and taught us all about the oyster farm and the local town (Ston). To top off the excursion, the wine tasting with Josip at Milos was incredible. The wines were so complex and delicious, with such a range in flavor and style. We even decided to buy some to have shipped home to the USA. Worth it! Would highly recommend!

It's been years since we used a travel agent. We are confident & regular international travellers, and well used to booking our own flights, hotels, restaurants and so on. But when we decided to visit Croatia, we realised we needed a bit of extra help. The country was unfamiliar, our plans slightly complicated, and we wanted to pack a lot into our two week trip. And having been denied a decent holiday for a couple of years, we wanted this one to be special.

So we chose Kim Kim. And boy was that a good decision! We were blown away by the personalised planning, the thought, the attention to detail. Right from the first tentative thoughts about where to go to the last airport cab, Kim Kim made sure everything was seamless.

The whole process feels really personal, right from the start. They work hard to tailor the trip to your individual needs, and take a lot of trouble going back and forth to get it right. And the web interface and the app that help you to keep track of your plans, not only before but during your trip, are very slick and user friendly. Little details like being able to download ferry tickets directly onto your phone make things very smooth.

But the thing that really made a difference was having one person looking after us throughout. Antonia, our local specialist, was AMAZING! To be honest, I was a bit sceptical at first about how much personal contact we would really get once the plans were finalised and the trip paid for. But Antonia was there by our side (virtually at least) every day of the trip, messaging us each morning to remind us of our plans, sorting out things like restaurants, trips and even laundry. As my wife said, it was like having a butler!

This probably wasn't the cheapest way to travel, but it was the best. We packed so much in, and had so much fun, with so little hassle. We will definitely be going back to Croatia, which may well be our new favourite destination, and we will definitely use Kim Kim again.

You really appreciate the depth of his knowledge when he suggests the actual time of day to go and do certain activities and makes specific recommendations based on the time of the year and the expected crowds. We went in August and Robi had specific suggestions of places and times that would avoid the crowds and give us a unique tailored experience. His hotel recommendations were top notch and fitted within our budget too.

Also, at the conclusion of our road trip the car was picked up by the rental agency right in Dubrovnik without any hassle.

This time, I traveled alone to Croatia. I needed to plan the trip quickly, and did not want the burden of having to rent a car. So after reading many wonderful reviews online about Kimkim decided to take a chance and book through them. Nikola was very attentive from the start. Once he figured out what kind of trip I wanted, he planned every last detail - private airport transfers, private tours, and beautiful hotels. He even suggested restaurants along the way. I could tweek anything I wanted. I decided to upgrade two of the four hotels he originally suggested, but when I look back on it, I probably didn't need to do that. All of his suggestions were spectacular. I will absolutely use Kimkim to plan future travel, and have already recommended the company to many of my friends.

From beginning to end, the experience was seem less and our vacation exceptional. Working with Sarah and Ivan at KimKim was trouble free. They were very knowledgeable, communicative, accommodating and responsive.

We took three boat excursions and despite the weather, enjoyed them all. Our skippers (Tony, Ante and Ivo) were all very capable and interesting. We felt safe and secure and found their advice very good on what and how to enjoy our time on the water and port. As the weather was sub-optimal the day we travelled with Ivo, the life stories he shared from time in the service, to search and rescue and olive farming made up for it. His lunch recommendation on Lupod was also the best meal of the trip at Obala! We enjoyed a seaside table, truly inches off the rocks with fresh delightful fare!

We enjoyed our time hiking around the beautiful waterfalls in Plitvice and Krka. All of our transfers were efficient, safe and comfortable and the recommended hotels were quite good. Our favorite was the harbor view suite in the Palace Elizabeth Hotel. We truly enjoyed our time in Hvar including the trek to the Spanish Fortress Overlooking the City and Sea.

Our tour guides in Trogir, Split and Dubrovnik were all very knowledgeable and passionate - and the time with Mislav wine tasting was enjoyable and relaxing in Korcula - a very enjoyable and laid back island with good food. The walled cities of Trogir, Korcula and Dubrovnik were our favorites - each with a different scale and vibe but common in the quaintness of their back alleys and cobblestone streets. The wall walk in Dubrovnik was worthwhile, providing great views of the city and sea.

All and all, a truly exceptional vacation and one of the top 5 in our travels to over 60 countries! We highly recommend Croatia and KimKim!

Special thanks to our Split tour host Ivana, our driver Joseph from Split to Dubrovnik, and Mirko our Elafiti Islands boat tour skipper for some memorable days.

And very special thanks to Nikola for being just a phone call away and handling our schedule changes.

Sarah made this dream trip a reality. From start to finish it was incredible! From planning to execution it was flawless. She thought of every detail, arranged everything so we could just show up and enjoy! Having drivers and private tours took all of the travel stress out of the equation and became people we will keep in touch with for many years to come. Baldo is one that is now like family to us and Saas in Mostrar will also be a friend for years to come. We were supposed to go to Montenegro but the boarders were backed up so Baldo created an alternate plan for us in Bosnia. We agreed to pivot and it turned out to be one of our most treasured days. Trust the drivers/guides. They will give you an incredible experience no matter what! We loved Split, Hvar and Mostrar the most. Dubrovnik is very crowded, it’s nice to visit the old town for a day but there are so many other places with less crowds and more to do. I cannot be more grateful I came across KimKim and Sarah. I wish she planned outside of Croatia!!!

This is a modern hotel. It’s very clean and has great views. That said, if you have a great view it means you face a busy(noisy) street. The air was cooler in the hallways than in our room which wasn’t great because we were there in mid august. The consierge is very helpful with reservations and taxis. The breakfast buffet is large. Overall it was nice to have two separate sleeping areas in one room (picture adjoining rooms minus a door.) I just didn’t like the noise or the lack of cool air and it wasn’t very close to old town, maybe 20 minute walk.

It was a really cool experience, but i would never pay/wait to see it. It is a tourist trap so beware. If you take a boat, it’s about 5 minutes in the cave. There are so many other beautiful places to see on Vis. Yoshko took us to many places were there were only 4 or so other people and to a wonderful restaurant belonging to 2 fishermen. It was an incredible day and he was a fantastic guide!

Antonia created an itinerary that fulfilled our every need and even planned for experiences we didn't know we needed! Every transfer we had was greeted with a pleasant driver. Everyone was on time and helpful with information. We flew into Dubrovnik from NJ and had a day to relax at the beautiful outdoor pool and lounges at a fantastic hotel picked by Antonia. Hotel More. Of course we did the Game of Thrones tour in old town and Antonia chose a great guide for us that could balance the 3 different age groups and the heat wave. After 2 days and great food and people we were off to Hvar, my favorite stop! Again Antonia chose a lovely hotel, Adriana, that was perfect! In Hvar Antonia set up a tour that brought us over the mountains to the other side of the island with a great tour and dinner included. We saw a few smaller towns and loved every minute. The next day she booked us on a speed boat to visit the blue and green caves and go for swims in a few different alcove beaches. Spending a day on the water with Dominick's tour company (Antonia wins again) felt like I was living the life of the rich and famous! He brought us to an amazing restaurant on a small island (also all part of our package) and we had an amazing meal. Next stop was traveling to a small town and finding my family heritage in Dragova, on Dugi Otok. Antonia found the perfect guide who did lots of research before we went. She was history buff and proved that when she was also our walking tour guide in Zadar. She knew when to give us private time to spread my grandmother's ashes and have our remembrance and she was lots of fun too. Our last stop in Zagreb was met with another great walking tour guide and lots of recommendations for our last 24 hours! It was the vacation of a lifetime and I will be happy to plan with Kim Kim for our next EU trip to Italy!!

Robi helped my husband and I custom design a 10 day trip throughout the Dalmatian cost including Split, Hvar, Korcula and Dubrovnik. He understood the type of trip we wanted to create which was a mix of cultural experiences, outdoor activities and relaxing down time. He was really able to anticipate our needs based on the information we gave him and execute flawlessly. All of our transportation to and from airports/ports/hotels was seamless which can be a little be complicated and hectic during the busy summer travel season. Some of the highlights of the trip were excursions to Krka national park and a private boat tour of the Elaphiti islands off the coast of Dubrovnik. Robi also lined us up with local guides in Split, Dubrovnik and an excursion to Ston that were exceptional. By having a local, Croatian, like Robi plan and manage our trip, experience was elevated by removing much of the stress associated with travel, especially in a place we weren’t previously familiar with. Another element which deserves pointing out is that Robi was able to roll with a few last minute changes to our set schedule. If we required a little bit of a late start for a tour or wanted to move up the departure for the inter-island ferry, Robi was on top of it and made it happen. He was also avail to us 24/7 by WhatsApp for ongoing questions we had throughout the trip. Robi’s a very knowledgeable professional who helped us fall in love with such a beautiful country. We will definitely be back and would use him again in a heartbeat.

We are a family of three (mom, dad and 14-year old teen) who wanted a multi-sport adventure that would be fun for all and avoid the touristy areas. Robi exceeded all expectations! It was SO much fun and he took care of EVERY detail and all the logistics--from airport transportation, to hotels, to activities and everything in between. We swam in beautiful sea caves, toured the coast by boat, e-biked the wine country, kayaked among the oyster farms, had the most delicious grilled calamari, went to a secret beach (shhh!) and raced around on jet skis in Zuljana! I asked Robi if there were places I could go for a run in Ston (where we stayed) and he was kind enough to map out a new run for each day were there. Robi is also extremely knowledgeable about all-things-Croatia, so we learned so much about Croatian history, politics and people. Suffice it to say, there is no way I could have planned this much fun on my own. I can't imagine going back to Croatia unless Robi came with us! :)

Our family of four had a wonderful trip to Croatia thanks to the thorough and excellent planning and support of Nikola. From our first correspondence through to the last day of our trip, Nikola was responsive, helpful, and really customized our trip to be an amazing experience for us. He had great ideas, gave excellent advice, and really shaped a trip that let us experience the country in unique ways.

We especially enjoyed our guided walk through Plitvice National Park, our tour of Hvar with Grgo, and our sea kayaking tour with Boris. All of our guides were so knowledgeable and we also really appreciated that Nikola partnered with family-owned companies working to provide different perspectives and experiences to their clients.

Every one of our transfers and guided experiences was smooth - on time, well-organized, and professional. And our accommodations were amazing. As a family with 2 kids, when we initially started looking for accommodations in Croatia on our own, we were running into a lot of challenges because most accommodations labeled “family suites” were really only designed to sleep 3 people. It would have been very difficult and time-consuming for me to locate on my own the excellent hotels that Nikola found. Locations were great, hosts were friendly and helpful with advice, breakfasts were wonderful. Finally, in the places where Nikola suggested a certain location for our family (such as Trogir over Split or Starigrad over Hvar town), they were 100% the right recommendation for what we were looking for.

It is hard to pick our favorite places in Croatia - we were glad we visited each place we did, But some of the ones that stand out are Plitvice, Trogir, Stari Grad (on Hvar island) and Korcula.

Thank you to Nikola for planning such a memorable and wonderful trip for us,

Bruno was very responsive during the entire planning process, he was flexible to changes and he reached out just prior to my trip and after arrival to make sure any last minute concerns were addressed. He gave me valuable insight into the local culture to make sure my travels were seamless. I took most of my tour primarily with Luka, his correspondent in Istria, and I can't say enough about how wonderful the experience was. The trip was unhurried, leisurely, and flexible depending on what we felt like that day. We were the only ones he worked with the entire week, so we weren't herded along with a tour group. He grew up in the area and knew a lot of people we passed. We visited places that aren't typically accessible for tourists walking by. The area was beautiful, but I felt like I learned so much more about the culture and history when Luka was with us. The driving can be tricky, and during the summer months parking was tight, Luka drove us everywhere, and sorted out parking so we could relax and drink wine if we wanted. If you plan a vacation here, do yourself a favor and work with Bruno and Luka. You will get so much more from your trip.

Truffle hunting in Istria
Croatia

The truffle hunting was such a unique experience. I missed my calling to work with dogs and wander through beautiful natural forests. Our guide was a 3rd generation truffle hunter/cultivator, it was very cool to see him at work. The new tasting room has large glass windows for breathtaking views while you sample food and watch a cooking demonstration using truffle products. My friend thought she didn't like truffles, but changed her mind after this trip.

Very unique experience, I love dogs so this was so fun to see working dogs.

Inland of Istria Grožnjan, Oprtalja and Motovun
Croatia

This was a very nice tour, with breathtaking views of Motovun at a terrace owned by a friend of our guide. Kabola winery was so picturesque, it was like something straight out of a movie. Groznjan is still one of my favorite spots in all of Croatia, it's a beautiful artist town with many festivals and beautiful streets. Luka took us for coffee on a cafe on a cliff. We enjoyed coffee and he pointed out landmarks and described their stories.

Quality of Experience
Great history

We loved Luka! He was guide, driver, and staff, he was great all around!
Transport
Loved how easy it was to let Luka drive and park so we could drink wine and be dropped at the front of the cities we visited instead of walking a very long ways for parking.
Visit Poreč
Croatia

Kayaking in the Lim channel was my favorite! The waters were calm and the views were amazing. Luka brought coffee, bananas, and chocolate croissants (the chocolate is legit) to eat halfway through the trip. Do choose to do the oyster tasting, just for the experience. Porec was lovely, made better because Luka grew up there and knew a lot about the town, the architecture and about the Basilica we visited.

Quality of Experience
Amazing! Personalized, and scenic. The chocolate croissants and coffee were an extra touch that elevated the kayaking trip.
Guides, Drivers and Staff
Luka was awesome! Very safe driver
Transport
Parking near Lim channel and oyster tasting got crowded later in the day, either be very good at parking or hire a driver.
Sea Kayaking Rovinj
Croatia

The water is extra salty in the area and very buoyant, it's very easy to kayak through the waters here and Luka was a great host. We visited islands and he told us about how they came to be how they are. Perfect for our last day in Rovinj because we started early and ended in the early afternoon.

Quality of Experience
Luka spent as much or as little time at each island as we liked. He also brought hot coffee in a thermos and croissants and bananas for a snack. He took us to a cliff with a beautiful view of the waters to drink our coffee.

Luka served as all 3 it was great

We have a private boat excursion from Split to Hvar that was amazing! We chose to stay in AirBnBs and they were all 5 star locations - well appointed and conveniently located! One evening in Dubrovnik, we traveled outside the city to a family farm and enjoyed an intimate meal prepared with food they grew onsite. There were so many highlights on this trip and this was arguably the best!

Baldo, who spent a whole day with us, drove us to Ston Bay, came on the boat with us for an Oyster tasting experience with Mario, and accompanied us to our wine tastings, finally taking us to our next location, Korchula, and sadly having to say goodbye to him!

Korchula is for sure a hidden gem, a beautiful town! Worth visiting, and Sarah booked us the hotel with the best views of the old town.

We took a ferry to Hvar (one of the most famous islands!), the captain and crew of the ferry were the nicest! Hvar is also a really beautiful and vivid town, with a lot of nightlife. The eye-opening activity on Hvar was our biking tour. Grgo made us fall in love with Hvar! He showed us his hometown and small villages like Jelsa, all biking! We also saw the most beautiful beaches on the island, I believe, and even met his friends! Grgo took us to his winery where we had another amazing wine tasting!

It has been amazing to be with local people who are so passionate and proud of their culture and traditions!

Resort Apartments Teranea
Hvar

It is a nice condo complex - felt like the pictures made it look a bit nicer than it was. Hvar is definitely a party town and I think it is showing the wear and tear of a lot of partying visitors.

Authenticity & Character
It was just average - I didn't love the party atmosphere of Hvar in general (felt like Vegas), but that's just me.
Location
I bit off the beaten path - not in center of town, which we liked.
Staff
Extremely accommodating and friendly! Didn't love that some of staff were sitting nearby breakfast area smoking during breakfast.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The quality of linens, amount of linens, breakfast options. Everything was average, except for the staff - but you could tell they had a lot on their plate to keep the partiers from destroying things.

The hotel is beautiful and located close to old town. The pool area is really fun and nice. The staff were extremely friendly & accommodating - they worked magic for us to stay an extra 2 nights.

This experience is not to be missed! The family was so warm & friendly, and it was so fun to hear their extensive family (15 generations!) history!

Green & Blue Caves of Vis Island

The day trip was outstanding. The boat captain came to our airbnb apartment and picked us up. He had an excellent knowledge of the area. We discussed his plan and had an outstanding day. He provided a cooler with ice and drinks and we brought snacks. We couldn't visit the blue cave due to the 3+ hour wait to get in so instead he added extra swimming stops to the most gorgeous locations. He took us to a restaurant on a secluded island and it was the best steak I've ever had. Our teen girls loved the entire day!

Definitely a resort. Rooms seemed sort of shabby, and small. We were also unfortunately roomed near the bar and lobby, so it was noisy. In addition, the layout is kind of strange, and we felt like we were in a department store.

Was not exactly as described. We were not offered to go the restaurant at the end of the trip; and after we got in the van and started driving, when we asked if we were going to the hotel, Marijana just said, "yes", and then, "is that okay"? We said it was, because we needed to get back for another event. But I think had we not asked, she would have not mentioned the restaurant. So not a big deal, but not as described. But, the rafting itself was excellent! The guide we had was awesome.

My family enjoyed every aspect of our trip to Croatia. We loved all the places we visited; each place gave us a fuller appreciation of the country and the diversity across regions. Nikola was an absolute pleasure to work with, and he planned a trip that was a perfect fit to our interests and temperament. He was very responsive to our requests in planning the trip. The itinerary he provided was very detailed, and we never had to second guess where we were going or how to get there. All of our connections and tours went to plan and were extremely well orchestrated. During the trip, Nikola checked in with us daily to make sure things were going well, and he even gave us a surprise visit early in the trip. It was great to meet him in person! He made himself available at all hours and was extremely responsive. He helped negotiate a minor issue when the car we hired was a bit too small for us. And, Nikola went above and beyond to arrange vegan and allergy-free breakfasts for my son at each hotel . We could not have been more pleased with his level of service, attention, and creativity.

All of our walking tours were very good, but we especially enjoyed the ones in Split and Dubrovnik as our guides were very entertaining. The biking and food tour in Korcula was a highlight of the trip. We really enjoyed visiting family farms and orchards and tasting their products and even brought several home with us. Our guide was very fun and adaptable. Highly recommend! We loved all of the boutique hotels; they were well appointed and ideally located to walking the city or town. The Manda Heritage Hotel, La Grisla, and Hotel Camera went out of their way to create vegan breakfasts for my son. They were better than we could have expected - oftentimes, he only gets bread and jam, but each of them either made him special dishes or purchased vegan yogurts or "meats" for him. The Hotel Camera also left us special treats in our room the two nights we were there - it was such a special touch. Hotel Korsal was beautiful, close to Old Town and had a stunning view. We enjoyed many breaks on their terrance. All of the hotels were kind and accommodating and offered us excellent advice.

This was one of our best family trips ever. We highly recommend working with Nikola for anyone wanting to visit Croatia.

We rebooked for this summer (June 2022), and this was a trip of a lifetime!

It was heartwarming to meet people that have so much love to spread, and who are genuinely passionate about being responsible stewards of our amazing planet!

From the very first conversation with our guide, Nikola, we were immediately drawn to kimkim. He went above and beyond to customize our trip to be exactly what we hoped for- a mix of excursions, leisure time, and unique experiences. He was quick to answer all of our questions and worked to keep our trip within our budget. The kimkim platform makes it very easy to leave feedback on the itinerary so we were able to let him know the pieces we loved and those we wanted changed. It was a very individualized trip and we felt like more than just customers. Nikola was genuinely excited to share the beauty of his country with us and his expertise as a local was invaluable.

Upon arriving in Croatia, Nikola greeted us with a welcome gift and a printed copy of our itinerary. He stayed with us until we were set up in our rental car and ready to go. Our itinerary included Plitvice Lakes, Split, Korcula, and Dubrovnik. Our trip plan was complete with suggested stops to make along the way, like Rastoke, a quaint village with gorgeous waterfalls running through it. Recommended activities, sights, and restaurants at every destination were also included. Nikola was available at any point via WhatsApp with any questions and requests we had, like making dinner reservations for our last night in Split after a day trip to Bosnia.

Based on our conversations, Nikola knew our love for wine and local cuisine so we were thrilled when he booked us a private wine tour in Korčula and a culinary experience with a local family in Dubrovnik! Both became highlights of our entire trip. Additionally, every hotel accommodation we experienced was perfect and provided us with delightful breakfast each morning! We cannot say enough good things about Nikola and the experience we had with kimkim because of him. We have recommended it to everyone we’ve spoken to since coming home. We will be using these services in the future!

Not only did he assist us with parking and luggage, but he spent ample time providing us with a detailed overview of suggested activities, restaurants, & sights to see. The staff here genuinely care about your time and go above and beyond to ensure you have the best experience possible. As others have mentioned, breakfast packed in the early morning for ease was an added bonus. We were able to contact the staff easily at any time during our stay for questions and further recommendations. Every recommendation he gave was superb! It is apparent that he has immense pride in his beautiful hometown and absolutely loves to share that joy with all who visit. At the end of our visit, Tonci escorted us to the catamaran to safely see us off to our next destination. Like I said, above and beyond service! We will be staying here again should we be given the opportunity to return to Split!

All recommended restaurants were good, especially in Split.
Finally our guide Alberto on Dubrovnik was outstanding. Many thanks to Anna Marie for a great plan and for being there ti make sure it worked every minute,

The hotel was very comfortable and the staff was helpful. Nice to be able to have a good dinner in the hotel after a late arrival. The only fownside is that it is a 20-25 minute walk to the old town and most restaurants.

We could not have done this trip through Croatia and Slovenia without Nico or our local contact, Lucija! Lucija was very detailed in her directions, instructions, and was always very quick to respond if we needed assistance. Everything was pretty seamless and we had an amazing trip. The guides in each city were knowledgeable and personable. I would recommend Kimkim to everyone!

Robi was an excellent guide and driver. He took us places we never would have found on our own. We had delightful visits to wineries, including some small off the beaten path ones. Those interactions with the owners and wine makers were interesting, informative and inspiring. The lovely village of Ston turned out to be a hidden gem that brought us close to the culture of Croatia. Thanks for a memorable trip.

He answered all of our questions and provided a very detailed itenirary with contact details for all of our guides. We loved how customized the whole trip felt, it was a perfect mix of sightseeing and relaxing time. We especially loved our tour guides Grgo for our "local way of life" tour in Hvar, Ivana for our walking tour of Dubrovnik, Nermina our guide at Plitvice national park, Petra for our horseback riding experience in Plitvice, and Olga for our food tour in Split. All of our guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly and made our honeymoon trip so memorable.
