Kimkim Trip Reviews for Croatia

Best trip of our life!
Sarah was thoughtful, responsive, and thorough. With only a few brief conversations, she totally nailed planning the perfect, customized trip for my husband and I. I’d you are headed to Croatia, you need to talk to Sarah!

Authenticity & Character

Big, resort style feel. Not friendly and warm like every other place we stayed in Croatia.

Location

3.5 mile walk into the old town and far from any local shops or restaurants.

Staff

Unfriendly and boarder line rude. Our key did not work multiple times and we continued to have it replaced. They dismissed our concerns and said it was because we put it next to our cell phone (we didn’t.) The ATM in their lobby stole €50 from us and they were unhelpful. They did not greet us or smile and seemed constantly annoyed if we had questions.

Cleanliness & Comfort

Very clean and full of anything you could possibly need. You can certainly find anything your heart desires at the breakfast, as well.

Antonia was the absolute best! She was overly helpful and attentive both before our trip began and during the entire trip. I even texted her at midnight one night and she responded back within five minutes. She took our suggestions to heart and she implemented a wonderful and individual itinerary for our family. I would definitely work with Antonia and Kim Kim again!

Sarah was great to work with in planning our family trip to Croatia! I usually plan my own trips so it was different for me to use a trip planner. Sarah was extremely responsive throughout the entire experience including when we were in touch with her once we were on the ground.

We enjoyed the sampling of cities — Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik — that gave us a taste of what Croatia was all about. Hvar was our family’s personal favorite. Through our interactions with our bike tour guide and boat excursion skipper we got a sense of the local culture and pride in the island.

Sure in retrospect there were a few things I would do differently, but we had a good first experience with Kimkim and I know how to better communicate our interests the next time.

Overall our trip was very nice. We were met upon arrival and taken to our hotel (Santa Lucia) which was well located and pleasant. We then had a tour of the Dioclitian Palace with a knowledgable guide. The next day we were met by Borna, our driver and guide for our trip to Krka. He was very nice and helpful with my husband while touring, but we had the feeling he would rather be on the water rafting or kyaking. The next day Borna took us to Zadar and we hooked up with Sonya (I believe that was her name) who was top notch--we thoroughly enjoyed her tour and her knowledge. The next morning we were off to Korcula by ferry and Robi added a ride for us to the dock as I think he realized it would be helpful for my husband. We were met by a taxi to take us to our hotel. Our rooms were in, what I called the basement, with a view of weeds and a couple plants. Renee sent a picture to Robi on our second day and he offered to have us switch hotels as he said we were supposed to have a sea view. We were not aware we were to have a sea view, but this was a very disappointing accommodation. Maybe he should have confirmed the rooms? By the time he offered to switch us to another hotel, it would gave been too much of a hassle. We decided we wanted a guide and the first guide he gave us was not licensed for Korcula so he found a guide who could see us for an hour. We ended up finding our own guide and had a great tour of the island. Robi was kind enough to reimburse us for all expenses for the day. Unfortunately, when you come from so far away the main goal is the experience which we were able to create on our own (minus a decent hotel room). Our last night was in Trogir and we loved our hotel and the quaint village. Robi did stay in touch with us during the entire vacation, but we had hopes of meeting him which did not happen. All in all, it was a great trip, but not sure the value was there.

Nikola was above and beyond amazing. We had such a great trip. Nikola had such great insights and suggestions. From planning and designing our itinerary at the outset, to making adjustments and changes along the way, and being available and immediately responsive on our day to day questions and requests. Even last minute same day restaurant and hotel reservations were made and changed. Nikola has great energy, knowledge and enthusiasm about his country. The trip would not have been nearly as seamless and special without his guidance. Could not recommend him highly enough!

I'm not one who gives out 5 stars loosely. This absolutely was a 5-star trip to Croatia. Our specialist Bruno was professional, attentive to our requests, quick to reply and very patient. We spent 9 nights in Croatia with 3 nights each in Dubrovnik, Korcula and Split. Bruno was able to balance our days with tours and activities but also enough down time to relax at a beach or freshen up for a nice meal and evening. We had walking tours in both Dubrovnik (with Ana) and Split (with Mia). Both young ladies were extremely knowledgable about their country's history but also willing and able to answer any questions we had be them history related or not. We were thrilled to hear that Mia would also be our guide for a trip to Krka National Park. Mia's energy and personality is both refreshing and enviable. George, our tour guide on Korcula took us around the island and was a delight. We really enjoyed his stories. We took the ferry over to Hvar one day and had a driving tour with Venko. We had some very interesting conversations with him. All of them were flexible with weather-related changes and all were very professional. We also had a great day on a boat ride to a number of islands. While Steve drove the boat Marin took great care of us--a very fun day. Bruno planned wine, olive oil, oysters and mussels tastings, hikes, a bike ride and I'm sure I'm missing some other things. Bruno coordinated all connections with ferries, guides and cars with no issues. I will definitely be recommending Bruno to friends who are planning trips to Croatia and I was so impressed with him and KimKim that I am using them for our next trip to Japan.

Hotel Korsal

Korčula

Hotel Korsal is in a perfect location. It is easily walkable to the ferry or the town. There is a beach right in front of the hotel with paddle boards and kayaks for rent. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful with tables both indoors and out. We also had a delicious dinner there. The waitstaff and reception staff are probably the nicest group of hotel workers we have ever met. There is nothing they wouldn't do for you and always with a smile. They notice if you have a favorite drink or like a particular table. The area is very quiet at night. We had a suite with a very comfortable bed, a spacious living area and a balcony overlooking the water.

There was so much to do on this excursion. The salt flats were interesting. We watched a short movie and walked around the area. It's not a big place but we found it quite interesting.

We couldn’t have asked for a better trip than the one Bruno planned for us. Croatia was my dream trip for 10 years and I had a rough idea of the big things I wanted to do but no idea where to start. With so much to see and 11 days available Bruno gave us the best possible guide through it. We were able to see parts of Istria, travel inland and go to two different national parks, as well as visit Dubrovnik and Split AND do a cave tour and we never felt rushed. Bruno took my many questions and feedback and must haves and made me feel so supported and lessened my anxiety over traveling. I will never stop recommended Croatia to anyone I meet and I highly recommend using Bruno and Kimkim!!

Robert (Robi) took time to understand our travel preferences and build multiple itineraries for our consideration. Once we landed on a 7-day plan that took us from Zagreb down to Dubrovnik, he kept us well informed of the steps leading up to the trip. During the trip, we received daily messages about the towns we’d visit, restaurant suggestions and detailed instructions on where/when to meet our guides. All of the guides Robi connected us with were spectacular - Mario in Zagreb, Borna in Plitvice, Pero in Split, and Antea in Dubrovnik. Happily, we also spent the better part of a day with Robi, visiting the town of Ston, exploring local wineries, and getting a thorough history lesson on Croatia.

We have always had a great experience with Kim Kim and this is no exception. Thanks to Robi and his network of exceptional guides/historians, we had an incredible adventure in this beautiful country, Croatia!

Good day New Friends!

Our trip was beyond amazing and so well-orchestrated from beginning to end. The patience and guidance in planning is perfect for family traveling (such as us) or just someone who needs support visiting new countries. And they were able to meet all of our requested tours within our limited days in country! With 3 teenagers all with different interests and being the first international travel adventure for 2 of them, that is an accomplishment in itself.

Duje (spelling may be off but our driver from Zagreb) was the family favorite. He shared the rich history of your country, was able to answer all our questions, was engaging, sharing off the beaten path insight into cities and parks, and provided the insight into Croatia and its people we were looking for.

Each day of our trip was made stress free by the seamless coordination of the drivers, guides, hotel staff, and Nikola's fast answers to any questions we had. Sarah ( Dubrovnik) and Jo ( Zagreb) were our in city tour guides that your cities should be proud of. Both provided sites unknown and off the typical tourist track we visited on our own with our free time. As we spent one day in Zagreb without Jo then were able to tour with her on our last day, I can tell you SO worth it. She turned the city alive with her excitement and fun little-known facts/hidden secrets- it was such a memorable day about Zagreb!

Food recommendations met all our needs and if you don't put your recommendation of Dvor on your regular recommendation list, you are crazy! Great view, great service, so unique - one of my entire family's favorite meals.

A once in a lifetime trip only made better by having your support!

From the pre-trip planning, to execution, to departure, Robi was amazing. He thoughtfully organized our tour in Croatia according to our needs. He was flexible where necessary (and he had to be because there were a few unpredictable changes due to travel issues), very knowledgeable about Croatian history and current events, an excellent driver, and a great guide. Furthermore, it felt like he really cared about our enjoyment; checking in continuously and making sure that everything was running smoothly. I recommend Kimkim and especially Robi for your next adventure in Croatia.

Our trip to Croatia was truly amazing. Robi planned such a comprehensive and diverse itinerary that gave us the perfect taste of this gorgeous country. Highlights were the city tours and the private boat trip around the Elaphiti islands. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone!

Private boat trip to Elafiti islands

Croatia

Best part of the trip!!!! Saw so much of the coastline, had plenty of time to swim and relax in the sun. The stop for lunch on Lopund was so fresh and delicious!

Quality of Experience

This was one of the best trips ever, thanks, in no small part, to Bruno! He planned an amazing itinerary that was unique and personalized to us and our interests. And then he was in touch on the ground, making sure everything went smoothly. Five stars! I would recommend kimkim and Bruno to anyone!

I am so happy that we used kimkim to plan our trip Croatia. Nikola was our local specialist and he helped us plan Everything. He was in daily contact with us through out our trip and if we needed anything he made himself available.
We honestly did not have on stressful moment on our trip, every little thing from luggage pick up , transportation , accommodations, reservations for dinners, activities and drivers were set up for us. I actually , just recommended Nikola and kimkim to a friend who is traveling in the fall.

Ston Oysters Experience & Wine Tasting

Croatia

This was such a fun day and we learned so much! Matthew and Luca were perfect hosts. They educated us about oyster farming and all the steps it takes to bring a yummy oyster to your table. In addition, we ate amazing oysters and mussels. After the Ston Oyster Experience we went to the Rizman Winery , where we tasted different types of Croatian wines as well enjoyed the beautiful views.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Luca and Matthew were great!

Transport

Drivers were great communicators, got us where we needed to be on time and were flexible if we wanted to stop somewhere.

Our eight day trip through Croatia was spectacular. Can say enough good things about Bruno who set up EVERYTHING for us. He arranged wonderful accommodations, made suggestions for different sites to see while touring and stayed in contact with us daily to ensure safe travelling. Had wonderful tours in Split with Mia and another great tour with Ana in Dubrovnik. These tours were very personal in that it was just my family and the guide. My wife and I loved working with Kimkim so much that we have already booked a vacation with them to Greece in October. Kimkim has incredible customer service.
