Kimkim Trip Reviews for Croatia

We are first time clients for travel with Kim Kim and had the privilege to work with Nikola to plan a 16 day trip to Croatia with my family (husband and three young kids). We were VERY IMPRESSED and HIGHLY RECOMMEND both our local travel specialist and the agency! The planning process was very easy and Nikola was very fast to reply to emails/calls and adapt our itinerary to meet our travel goals.

We are first time clients for travel with Kim Kim and had the privilege to work with Nikola to plan a 16 day trip to Croatia with my family (husband and three young kids). We were VERY IMPRESSED and HIGHLY RECOMMEND both our local travel specialist and the agency! The planning process was very easy and Nikola was very fast to reply to emails/calls and adapt our itinerary to meet our travel goals. He was able to provide local expertise for itinerary (Zagreb - Plitvice - Split - Hvar - Korcula - Dubrovnik). My husband and I are very experienced travellers but were a little nervous travelling with our three kids (age 5, 3 and 10 months) to Europe in the high season with COVID reaching endemic levels. Once we landed in Zagreb our trip was so smooth and easy. Nikola had arranged for all airport transfers, all accommodations (which were beautiful and all very central), breakfast each morning to make things easy with the kids, and all private transfers. He was always available if we had any questions and to adapt to any unexpected needs. It felt like Kim Kim went above and beyond to make sure we had the trip of a lifetime and our kids had a blast!!!! Thank you, and we can't wait to plan another trip soon!

Anna Maria is the best! She handled all the arrangements perfectly and made adjustments when the weather was inclement. She was always reachable and responsive. I am extremely impressed with the service she provided and can’t recommend her highly enough.

What a perfectly orchestrated trip.
The hotels were great overall - comfortable, good locations, lovely hosts. The 16 Lakes guesthouse was neat with a delightful host. Valamar Resort was a treat, great island, food and surroundings. 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.

Robi was great to work with, flexible throughout when we needed small adjustments. He had selected great places to visit, accommodations and recommended restaurants and optional activities that were great.

Dubrovnik and Split were both very interesting and the hikes we did in the parks and around the locations where we were staying were appropriate for my capabilities. Finally, biking on the peninsula was a truly unique experience. read more

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'd give six (out of five) stars to each of kimkim and Anna-Maria.

Hot Air Balloon Flight Over the Bled Lake

This was one of the true highlights of our trip. As we rose slowly above the tree line from a farmers field we floated over Lake Bled and the castle on the cliff. Our "pilot" was great - very reassuring since it was pretty scary at first. We finished with a champagne toast and little ceremony in another farm field. What a memorable experience. And, just as we finished our champagne, our driver arrived at the field to whisk us off to our next adventure.

Private Day Trip to Montenegro - Perast & Kotor

Dubrovnik

This was the only part of the trip that we weren't crazy about. The car ride from Dubrovnik to Perast was quite long, especially since we had to cross the border into Montenegro, which took some time. The trip was originally scheduled for 8 hours and included Perast and Kotor. We opted to eliminate the drive to Kotor. We wish we had opted for the sea kayaking instead of visiting Montenegro. However, our tour in Perast was great and the scenery was awesome.

It is hard to choose one place but some of the places I loved was Hum, Montovo, Porec and Plitvice Park. Oh the Pula and the amphitheatre. If we were to do the same trip again I would make it 2 days more as sometimes to see all we asked to see the time in the car was long and we got into places late. 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. His love of Croatia was contagious and we appreciated his insights and perspectives during our 7 day tour with him. He was flexible and was accommodating to our needs and interests. I highly recommend Robi for an enriching and enjoyable tour. (Jody)

Once the trip was underway, a serries of knowledgeable and friendly tour guides and drivers was there to provide a gentle assist while sharing their insight into each destination.

Best of all, I still had plenty of freedom to explore each stop, enjoy the local food and culture, get myself lost, or simply relax - all depending on my daily whims. This was exactly what travel should be - from beginning to end!

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 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 quick tour of Croatia set up by Antonia was absolutely perfect. We had started a day late due to a canceled fight and Antonia miraculously and seamlessly changed hotels and tour times.

On to Dubrovnik with a tour of the old town, cable car ride and walking the city walls. We finished with a cooking class in the country with a local family that really rounded out the trip.

We loved the itinerary that Robi put together for us, particularly the whole area of Istria, the Plitvice lakes and Krka National Park. We had visited Split and Dubrovnik previously and it was interesting to see how they had become so much more 'touristy'. We were pleased that the visit to Mostar was included too.

Bruno was an exceptional guide! He had patience, was courteous and had a great sense of humour! His knowledge was excellent and we would have no hesitation in recommending Robi and Bruno ( and Goran, Robi's cousin, who took us on an exciting boat trip!) for their expertise and care... nothing was too much trouble. A truly memorable trip to Croatia, Thank you All!

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.

Robert checked in everyday by text or call to assure that we had what we needed. We are so grateful to have had his expertise!

Roberto planned every detail perfectly. He was always available to answer our questions. He was able to give us good alternative options when weather impacted original plans.

The recommendations for restaurants and the arrangements for activities were all wonderful. If anyone tells me they are going on a bike trip to Croatia with any other company, I will tell them to cancel their trip and rebook it with Kimkim, Daniela and Robi. First Class, in every sense of the word. Thank you so much to Daniela and Robi!!!!!

I always like to wait a little bit after taking a trip to really think about the trip and give a review.

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

I don't know that I would recommend going there to anyone even though the site itself was beautiful.
We loved our two guides in Hvar, Gregor and Jelena (hiking and biking) - both tours were great. However, the bike guide ending in the basement of Gregor's father and receiving wine, olive oil, bread and cheese was amazing.
We loved our guide in Korcula, Mislav (biking) - he took us to an amazing lunch experience where the food was divine and the hostess loved doing her job, explaining about her garden the grappa processes, the olive oils and the food!
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.

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.

Additionally, the app "Trip Plans" made it very easy to access our daily schedule and obtain ferry tickets, etc.

Our trip was a very busy/active trip and kept us on the move. All hotels were well selected and provided us with everything we needed. Highly recommend the following people: Josephine (Zagreb tour guide), Ivan (Split tour guide), Mario (bus driver for first 1/2 of our trip), Girgo (Hvar island tour).
