Croatia Travel Agents

We had a lovely trip to Croatia and doing this with Nikola and Kim Kim made it seamless and stress free! I’m so glad we decided not to drive ourselves and have transportation dealt with, since we moved around quite a bit. We loved our private walking tours but especially loved our sea kayak tour with Andre around Korcula and our boat tour with Tony around the Elaffiti islands by Dubrovnik! Korcula and Dubrovnik were our favorites of the trip. The drivers were always on time and great as well. I would absolutely book through Kim Kim again and if you’re ever going to Croatia, Nikola’s your guy!

The "Foodie" tour in Zagreb was fun, and provided some interesting information about the city as well as introduction to some local foods.
We especially liked the visit to the lakes and falls at Plitvice. It was a 5 hour walk but most of it was level and where the trail might have been wet or steep, it was "paved" with logs, bridges and where steep, with steps. There were 4 ferries crossing the lake, but with a 1 hour wait in the July sun, we opted to walk around the lakes instead, which was in retrospect a good choice.
The boat trip from Hvar harbor around the islands, with several stops for swimming & snorkeling (mask and snorkels provided). We got to swim into a couple of huge ( 50-100 meters high/wide and 200-300 meters deep) sea-caves that were not boat accessible. I wished we had our underwater camera to capture the views. Many Swifts lived in and flew about the caves.
Dubrovnik is lovely, historic and in high season (July & August) very crowded. A Dubrovnik Pass is helpful so that you don't have to keep paying admissions to different historic buildings. Unfortunately if you want to walk the city walls, you need to know that admission fees including the Pass only allow one trip (we accidentally used that up looking for our guide, so missed that walk).
Our guide (Dubrovna was her name...easy to remember). was well educated and provided much information on the city. We aren't "Game of Thrones" fans, so she didn't dwell on the details of the filming there.

Private Day Trip to Cavtat & Family Farm Day for Traditional Lunch or Dinner

Croatia

We were very pleasantly surprised that this visit to the Family Farm included a cooking class. We were served two locally made cheeses and bread, almonds, dried figs with some iced cherry juice (we don't drink alcohol, so didn't try the local wine). We then began our cooking class. We made a family recipe for chicken cooked with olive oil peaches, plums, onions, garlic, cherry juice, salt, pepper, rosemary and bay leaves. We toured their garden and picked up rosemary, bay laurel leaves, tomatoes, cucumbers, arugula, parsley and fennel. They grow their own limes and grapefruits, pomegranates, almonds, figs, olives and much more. Back in the kitchen, we learned to make a twirly pasta by hand, and a peach & plum topped cake. After that we ate the dinner we had prepared. It was truly delicious (including a chicken soup with carrots and farina dumplings).

Excellent trip through four stops in Croatia. All of the transportation and guides provided were excellent. The hotels were also exactly what we were looking for. Nikola was very responsive, answered all of our questions and provided us with a detailed plan for the next day each evening. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful hotel in a nice location. Only 4 stars because of the really odd placement of the bathrooms in the middle of the room with all glass walls. This doesn't work well for siblings or friends in a room together. Breakfast was excellent.

Private Day Trip to Krka National Park & Šibenik

Croatia

The national park was great and Ivana was also excellent. The lunch at the winery was ok. It was very hot out and the food was very hot soup and risotto and not much else and it took a long time and Ivana ended up having to serve lunch because the waitress became ill. Overall it was a very nice day and we really liked Ivana.

Transport

Robert was determined to get to know us and our travel wishes and needs as we were planning this trip. He helped me put together exactly the trip we wanted for the limited time that we had. Additionally, he found excellent accommodations that matched our expectations. We stayed in Split for 3 nights in a tiny hotel inside the walls of the palace. It was so comfortable, and the hosts were most accommodating. I felt like I was staying with friends. Our city guide in Split, Petar (or Pero) was most informative, amusing and well able to roll with the bored teenager. Our city guide in Dubrovnik, Marko, was also very interesting and engaging, and this time we let the teenager stay at the pool.
We had very friendly and knowledgeable drivers who showed up right on time, and Robi made sure we had the tickets we needed for the ferries and for the National Park, When I found I had left behind an important ticket, Robi took care of the problem somehow.
I feel that we were very fortunate to find such a caring and capable local specialist for our trip. We highly recommend working with Robi.

We had an amazing trip. Planning by Ivan was really good. We had really good guides too. Loved the country, the people & the food. It was a memorable trip for sure!
