Croatia Travel Agents

Sarah (and Ivan) were incredibly helpful in planning our trip to Croatia and Slovenia. Everything went off without a hitch. All of our details were attended to-every guide and transfer was on time. Sara made great recommendations for restaurants. And we knew that they were available with any questions as the trip went on and their responses were thorough and prompt.
We covered a lot of territory in 11 days but the way that Sarah planned made it seem like we experienced lots of things without being rushed. Thank you so much. Highlights were walking the wall of the old city of Dubrovnik, bike tour of Korčula, island tour of Hvar, Plitvice (so worth stopping there/ do 5 mile hike to upper falls!), Ljubljana walking tour and trip to Lake Bled. Loved it all!

This trip was a good combination of exercise, scenic beauty, and cultural history. Our guides Robi and Garon were enthusiastic and helpful. The sea water clarity and blue colors was remarkable. The water quality is an asset that needs protection for the ecosystem and the local economy. The people were friendly and the hotel accommodations were very good. I recommend this vacation trip.

We had a wonderful trip in Croatia, starting in Split, then Hvar, Mljet, and Dubrovnik. The hotels were all lovely and the guided tours had just the right balance of education, fun and duration. Whenever we had a problem the group chat established by the KimKim team allowed for very quick and easy responses. I forgot a bag in Hvar and it was placed on the next ferry for pick up in Dubrovnik. Although the KimKim team had nothing to do with food, the Croatian food was amazing - always fresh and tasty. I would definitely go to Croatia again and I would definitely book with the KimKim team for Croatia or any other of their amazing destinations.

Hotel Reviews

Adriana Hvar Spa Hotel

Hvar

The room was nice, the breakfasts were good, but the staff was inept. They couldn't find our reservation, and service at breakfast was dodgy. But the location was great.

A sterile apartment. It was fine as a launching place to explore Mljet, but no charm.

Very nice hotel and staff. Very good breakfasts. Good location but know that its 1.3 miles from the old town. But also a good location for less touristy restaurants.

Hike to Lost Villages of Hvar, Croatian Peka Lunch

Croatia

Wonderful activity. Our guide, Josip (spelling?) was knowledgeable and fun. The hike was easy and mostly downhill...perhaps too easy for those of us who want a bit more exercise before lunch. He knew everything about local plants, history, and life on the island. Highly recommended. And the lunch was one of the highlights of our trip. They prepared Octopus in a Peka that slow cooks the food for 2 hours. It was the best octopus I've ever had and the restaurant was in a delightful, charming setting. The family that owned the restaurant were wonderful.

Half Day Boating Excursion to the Elaphite Islands

Dubrovnik

We opted out of the Elaphite islands and went to Lokrum (closer island) instead. We loved Lokrum - it is a great way to spend half-day hiking and swimming. Simon our skipper was wonderful.

Every aspect of this trip was fantastic! Our food tour in Zagreb was delicious (participants should be warned to come hungry. There was so much food!!) Plitvice Lakes was incredibly beautiful. Our cooking lesson in Split was both informative and delicious. Hvar was very relaxing and the walk and local peta dinner was great. Dubrovnik and our private walking tour was terrific. The boat trip to the Elaphiti Islands was very interesting.
I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to have drivers meet us everywhere and deliver us to our destinations. Special shoutout to Zoran who picked us up in Zagreb and later that week drove us to Plitvice Lake, explained the complicated history of Croatia and the 1991 Heartland War and then delivered us to our hotel in Split. Ivy in Zagreb, Tomi in Dubrovnik, Simon and his boat, Joseph on our Hvar walk and our cooking instructor were also great. I hope I haven’t left anyone out.
Thank you Ivan and Sarah for also your work arranging a memorable trip.

Private Boating Excursion to the Elaphiti Islands

Dubrovnik

Interesting tour of three islands

Every driver and guide we had was super. The food tour with Iva was very interesting. I only wish we'd been warned to eat a light breakfast. Zoran was a very punctual, informative and pleasant driver. We enjoyed the War museum with him and Plitvice Lakes exceeded all expectations. Our walking guide, Joseph, in Split was wonderful - so patient, pleasant and informative. The walk itself was perfect for our abilities and the Peka lunch delicious.

The cooking class was probably my favorite activity. Tomi is a great teacher and made me a much braver cook. I know the boat excursion in Dubrovnik with Simon would have been a favorite if the weather had been more pleasant. Ah well, Simon's cheery personality made up for it.

All 4 hotels were very comfortable and the breakfasts were amazing.

We planned to visit Croatia some time ago with no idea what to schedule. You planned our itinerary perfectly.

Croatian Cooking Class

Split

The instructor is fun, informative and patient. We had a tour through the markets to get the food we would be preparing. the school where we prepared our food was wonderful to work in. I learned to skin a fish, chop swiss chard and knead bread with confidence. This was a very fun and educational activity

Hike to Lost Villages of Hvar, Croatian Peka Lunch

Croatia

Joseph is a very kind patient person. We were afraid we were going to have to walk up the hills behind the harbor, but he drove us waay up to a beautiful view spot. Most of the hike was downhill and beautiful. I felt we had earned the amazing food that had been cooking and waiting for us. Another brief hike to our ride back down to our hotel. Weather was perfect and the hike was tuned to our abilities

Tour Dubrovnik's Old Town

Our guide knew her history and as we toured through the city, she brought it more to life. Although we had walked thru the Old City the previous day, we learned so much and gained more appreciation for it.

This was really fun in spite of the fact that the weather wasnt very cooperative. We visited 3 of the outlying islands with their interesting little towns. Our boat captain and guide was so cheerful and informative that it almost made the clouds disappear.
