Kimkim Trip Reviews for Croatia

Our local specialists were the Kimkim Croatian team of Antonia and Sara, who worked closely with me to develop a beautifully customized trip plan that took us to Bosnia (Banja Luka and Mostar), as well as to many points of interest in Croatia, especially along the Dalmatian Coast. It was the Mother - Son journey of a lifetime!

Hard to even describe the wonderfulness of Ivan and Sarah!
We travel a lot, and the more we travel, the more we get particular about what we like and want our vacations to be. On our trip to Croatia and Slovenia, it was as if Ivan and Sarah could read our minds. From every excursion to every driver, we were so delighted by the experience as much as the staff. You can tell a lot about people, by the people and vendors they choose to work with and based on this trip, I can tell that they are amazing humans, never mind great travel agents. Their responsiveness during planning was outdone by their responsiveness during the trip, when you really need it the most! We felt like we could ask them anything at any time and they would reply so quickly and help us with anything we needed. Thank you so much for all of your help, your kindness and your attentiveness, it felt like we were working with friends!

Thank you for one of the best trips! It was great mix of activities to see Croatia and Slovenia.
Amazing guides, wonderful sailing trip, the cooking class was highlight!!! The Peka meals were so delicious that I'm trying to duplicate this at home!!! I can go on and on about this trip! Please use Ivan and Sara for you adventure into Croatia and Slovenia and more!!!!!!

To begin with, it is of utmost importance to mention that Sarah and Ivan were nothing short of spectacular hosts.
1. The timeliness with which they responded to our inquiries via WhatsApp was unheard of - this made us feel safe & valued at all times.
2. They were incredibly professional and courteous at all times.
3. The itinerary they planned was very well organized and encompassed incredible sites.
My mother and I would also like to send our regards to Mr. Duro, our driver on two separate occasions. He was very professional and kind to us at all times. Having him as our driver on two separate days simply made the trip feel more relaxed.
The hotels we stayed in were amazing: very clean, with incredibly friendly staff, and with spectacular locations that either offered great views or short access to main attractions.
We only have two pieces of feedback:
1. Try to recommend travelers to carry cash for tips or expenses for specific days. For instance, on the day spent on the Adriatic Sea, it would've been great to know to carry cash for tips for the boat captain and crew. I would've exchanged currencies the day before the trip and taken that worry off my back.
2. Another great detail would've been a Spanish-speaking tour guide in Split to learn and absorb more of the city's background.
I sincerely hope Sarah and Ivan organize our next trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our Croatia & Montenegro trip with our group! 🇭🇷🇲🇪 Everything was so thoughtfully organized, and every detail came together perfectly. The itinerary was well-balanced, the activities were spot on, and everyone truly had an unforgettable experience.
Our guides were outstanding. Ina, our guide in Split, was fantastic — knowledgeable, flexible, and connected so well with the group. The cooking class in Split was one of the highlights — such a fun, authentic, and hands-on way to experience Croatian culture and cuisine.
The Dubrovnik Old City tour was excellent, and Danijela did a great job bringing the city’s history to life. The farm-to-table experience near Dubrovnik was another standout — delicious food, warm hospitality, and a true taste of local life.
We also loved the Oyster experience on the way to Dubrovnik — fresh, scenic, and so memorable — and our visit to Krka National Park was absolutely breathtaking. The waterfalls and nature there were just spectacular!
Thomaslav was incredible during our Kotor walking tour, combining knowledge, humor, and charm. Honestly, all of our guides were fantastic and made the trip extra special.
The hotels were also wonderful — comfortable, well-located, and ideal for groups.
Thank you again for all your help and support in planning this trip. It was truly a memorable journey, and we’re already looking forward to organizing more adventures in Croatia in the future! 🌍✨

We had a wonderful and memorable trip to Slovenia and Croatia. From the start of planning, months earlier, Marija was attentive, informative and responsible. One of the highlights of the trip was spending some time in person with her in Opatija. Oue guides were knowledgable and responsive, especially Vid in Slovenia, Anna in Split, and Stasa in Dubrvnik. There were so many highlights of the trip, it is difficult to remember them all. They include the private oyster and mussels lunch and many other meals - especially seafood, such as Puntulina and a restaurant on the island of Vis; there were trips to caves and castles; fascinating little hotels in the old towns of historic cities; and much more. We highly reccomend Marija to anyone who wishes to enjoy the wonders and joys of this region of the world.

All the guides were very knowledgeable in each of the locations we visited
Antonla's what's app link was reassuring and timely. You never felt isolated. The choices of accommodation were excellent.

Also the extra touches of where to park, get gas, eat and sights to see made our nightly texts from him a highlight of our evenings. I cannot recommend Bruno more that enough to make your trip to Croatia truly special.

This was a trip of a lifetime. Everything was as we expected. The hotels were as described and matched what was important to me: location and cleanliness being high on my list, as well as reasonable cost. Our group all came from different directions so there was lots of airport pick ups and we appreciated that. The biking routes were fantastic with many picturesque views of the sea. I loved visiting the olive oil museum and had a fabulous lunch there. Another highlight was the lunch on Mljet. My favorite island was Korcula. Our guide, Borna , was great. Always waiting for us at strategic points and always making sure we had water and snacks. Plus he had a great sense humor and great music. He made it fun. He solved problems like when the navigation app was not working and when our day was threatened by rain. Overall the planning and service was great. I’d love to do another adventure with them.

Croatia was absolutely beautiful. We stayed first in Zadar and had a lovely sailing boat tour through some of the islands and visited Plitvice Lakes National Park. This is a must!! The next stop was Split, which was gorgeous. We spent a couple of nights on Hvar. This was great, less crowded and easier to get around. We finished the trip in Dubrovnik. We had a wonderful time wandering around the old town and walking along the wall. Spectacular views!
Accommodations were excellent throughout the trip!! Tamara was wonderful to work with.

My husband, 11 year old son and I visited Split, the island of Korcula, and Dubrovnik for ten days in October. It was the most amazing and perfect trip we could have dreamed of. Our agent, Robi, made a point to get exactly what we wanted to do. Everything went perfectly, from the time the driver picked us up at the airport, to the time the driver dropped us off at the airport. Robi planned a cooking class for us, a private tour of a winery, a private tour of both old town Split and Dubrovnik, a boat tour of the Elaphiti islands, and even was able to provide us a driver at the last minute for unplanned fun! The hotel accommodations were beautiful and clean. Robi went out of his way to make this a special, unforgettable experience for us. Robi’s local, personal knowledge of the area and culture really made it a memorable trip. If I could give him 100 stars out of 5 I would.

I definitely recommend them for anyone planning to visit Croatia.

From the very beginning in Zagreb, to the end in Cavtat, every detail was perfection. Our guide in Zagreb , Josipa was outstanding. Our driver Matej who picked us up in the airport , and also drove us to medvedgard castle was on time and very professional. Our guide Mario for Plitvice Lakes was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He also had a lot of information about Zadar and Trojir. Our split guide , Pero, was great also! The cooking class was great! All of our hotels were terrific! Thanks to Robbi for choosing great accommodations. The only complaint we have is that we had rain one day!!! But we made it work and we know that is no one’s fault. I would highly recommend using Robbi as a travel agent and your guide. His portion included a great trip to Ston and oyster tasting. Thank you again for everything!!!
