Just wanted to mention that Anna-Marie, our tour director, was great. We had a couple of hiccups that she took care of very quickly for us.

Our itinerary was just what we asked for. We started in Zagreb. Not knowing much about the city I had no real expectation. I was very impressed by the architecture and the history of the city and country. Sadat was another one of our stops. The city was small and could easily be walked. The Roman influenced architecture was truly spectacular as well as the selections of restaurants. Split was our next stop. It was a lively city that again was easy to walk and had some spectacular architecture in the old town section of the city. The highlight of Split was our our food tour which took us to 4 restaurants to sample local dishes which isn’t accurate because each restaurant was a full meal course that were different and delicious. We then went on to Hvar which is an island that is beautiful and historic. The highlight here was our hiking expedition in the hills to see some abandoned villages, hear about the history of the island, and delight in some spectacular views from high above the city. Our last stop was Dubrovnik which has the crown jewel of old towns in Croatia. Truly spectacular. We also took in an interesting museum which was the War Photography Museum. Very informative and moving.

My husband and I, along with my two daughters and their spouses, just spent 2 weeks in Croatia and we had the most amazing time! Robi could not have organized a more perfect trip for us. Planning was so easy with Robi - always extremely responsive, thorough and communications were very clear and detailed. He organized all of our local travel. connections, accommadions as well as local guides for tours in Split and Dubrovnik (Peter and Paulina respectively, were also so knowledgeable, helpful and fun!). We loved the complete flexibility in the schedule, activities and personalized itinerary he created for us.

Highlight of our trip was definitely the 6 days we spent sailing and exploring the Dalmation coast on a catamaran with Robi and Borna visiting Ston, Mali Ston, Slano and the islands of Mljet (with its beautiful National Park), Sipan and Lopud to name a few. We visited wineries in the Peljesac wine region and discovered many incredible wines that we enjoyed throughout our trip. Lots of hiking, biking, walking and climbing countless fortress walls, tasting fresh oysters right out of the sea and soaking in the sun and spectacular scenery. Robi is an incredibly skilled captain and guide, taking us to many “hidden gems” along the coast for swimming, paddle boarding and exploring.

Great food was a priority for us and Robi made sure that we enjoyed a wide range of the best Croatian culinary experiences. His restaurant and food recommendations were fabulous. We sampled so many wonderful regional dishes (oysters, mussels, octopus, calamari, peka, black risotto, pasticada, cevapi, brodetto, and of course Ston cake!), at both charming local and fine dining establishments.

We have so many wonderful memories, we cannot thank Robi enough. He is so personable, fun, professional and passionate with such in-depth knowledge of Croatian history and culture. His top priority was for us to have a fun filled, stress free and safe holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed every single minute and we would strongly recommend kimkim and Robi's services and catamaran tour.

Tina did a great job first collecting what memories and experiences would make up the ideal vacation for my husband and I. She helped us plan a curated agenda across different cities in Croatia and also Montenegro.

The itinerary was a combination of fan favorites like Diocletian's Palace in Split, the new-ish cable car in Kotor, and old town Dubrovnik walking tours. During high season she made personalized transfers (drivers and even a customized high-speed boat ride where we were the only ones in charge!). These transfers offered really nice downtime for us, a welcome break from navigating the busy streets and overcrowded attractions. Plus they were SEAMLESS - I didn't have any difficulties finding the people and getting transported to the next place. Overall we went to Zagreb, Plitvice Lakes/Split, Korcula, Kotor (Montenegro), and Dubrovnik over 2 weeks. The pacing was great, we didn't feel rushed and got a sense of each location before moving on. We also didn't feel like we wasted a ton of time just getting from place to place - there was plenty of downtime to just let things happen.

Swimming around the Peljesac peninsula the morning of our journey from Split to the island Korcula was a top experience for me - it was so quiet and our guide, Dino, was very open about sharing his experience growing up in a family of olive growers/olive oil producers. Our walking tour guide, Albert, in Dubrovnik did the best job explaining the complexities of living in Croatia, the politics of relatively new countries, and the impact of tourism. All of the hotels selected were boutique in nature and had great amenities - my favorite was the Villa Filaus in Dubrovnik, though! Great location and such character plus the woman running the boutique hotel, Anita, was a DELIGHT to welcome us.

Tina, thank you for planning a wonderful trip! Supremely enjoyable, relaxing, and informative this trip was indulgent and we will remember it for a long, long time! You really thought of EVERYTHING. You curated the best people to help us along our way - so courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful!

Villa Filaus

A beautiful villa (and hopefully you get a balcony) plopped right in the middle of a great location, easy walking distance to the beach via the promenade full of casual restaurants. I loved the hotel manager, Anita, who warmly greeted us and showed us where to go with a prepared map. She is so sweet and kind - you can tell she loves her job! This place has big rooms, good air conditioning, and is quiet given there are only a few units. The small pool and loungers are all you need for sunbathing and reading a good book outside. The espresso machines (with bottomless pods) were a nice way to start each day, too!

We did get off the trail a few times having to double back when we were hiking Orjen. If I had known it was such a strenuous hike I might have either selected an easier one or skipped it entirely / asked to modify it down, because I was wearing sneakers but even the sneakers were not adequate for the rockiness (true hiking boots would have been better and there was no way I was going to take up luggage space in my suitcase for one outing).

He made everything very easy for us, so we could just enjoy our vacation and not worry about the planning process. 5+ Stars!

My only suggestion for the KimKim site is to have a specific place in each trip plan specifically for accessing saved documents, specifically vouchers (as this seems to be the preferred way of having a receipt to show for an item that has been paid for - like park entry tickets, etc.). They can be difficult to find when trying to dig through the chat history.

Also KimKim prompts you to make edits/suggestions on each day individually, but then they are all combined into one long chat with no delineation by day, again making it hard to find comments that relate to a specific day.

Villa Filaus

When we first looked at where this hotel was situated in relation to everything we wanted to do in Dubrovnik, we were a bit concerned. It is quite far from the old town. However, it is near a bunch of restaurants and a very nice beach, and quite close to the bus line that takes you to the old town. It was also close to a nearby grocery store with a wnderful little bakery inside. We had many early starts, so couldn't have the breakfast included with the room, but that didn't matter to us at all, as the bakery was soo good. The busses run very regularly (every 10 mins or so) and are easy to navigate. The building and the rooms were wonderful, and the lady at the front desk was absolutely fantastic.

The location of this hotel was the best thing going for it, and the room was quite spacious. The building it was in had a lot of character and old-world charm. That's about all I can say that is positive about it. When we arrived there was no one there to let us in and the outside door was locked, so we had to sit on the stoop and contact out travel specialist, who had to contact the owner. The included breakfast was a smattering of things that had obviously sat out for several days and was all stale. The few things that were fresh (some croissants), we felt like we couldn't eat much of, as it didn't seem like there was enough for the guests in the building. Also, we could hear the kids tromping around on the floor above ours.

The location is a bit on the edge of town, which was perfect for as it was near the watersports facility (rafting, canyoning, etc.) that we were booked with the following morning.

Transportation from city to city and the tours was excellent. The drivers were very timely and also very personable.

I cannot thank Bruno enough for making our tour of beautiful Croatia so easy that we were able to spend our time enjoying the scenery, the people, and the great food in Croatia.

Thank you Bruno for the perfect Croatian vacation.

Lovely setting. The room was clean and the hotel well maintained. The only issue was that it is not well served for handicapped as there is a flight of stairs to the lobby. They neighborhood was very attractive and felt very safe to walk around. A great walkway that was used by the local residents and tourists that led to the beach and shore area.

We just completed a week Island hop in Croatia and Anna -Maria was our trip specialist. Must admit that her planning and execution when we were not executing was flawless. We made every transfer on time which put us in position to enjoy the activities that she had put together for. us. Misplacing our vouchers for transfer and such Anna Maria was able to send them electronically to us so we could share with either the boat or transfer driver. All of our activities were spot on for what we had hoped for and again give Anna Maria total credit for making our trip one for the lifetime.

Bruno was very responsive and so helpful. I had flight issues going to Croatia and leaving as well, and he was able to be super flexible in reorganizing my transfer and everything else. He also gave great suggestions for restaurants and was available everyday via Whatsapp. I also heard from hotel staff that he's their favorite person to work with, always sharing info ahead of time so the hotels have time to manage any guest needs.
