This is a very new hotel and lovely inside. Our room was spacious and super well designed. It is conveniently located near a bus stop so we could easily get to the old town and anything we wanted to do. There are markets nearby too. And the food—including the breakfast—is really good. We had lunch and dinner there, and they took time and care preparing our food. Highly recommend this hotel!

Although a little dated, you can’t beat the incredible pool with the view of the Adriatic. The staff is very helpful, considering how many people stay there. The breakfast is amazing with so many choices. The only negative we experienced was in our bathroom where the sink and faucet were badly designed, and you couldn’t rinse your hands without splashing pools of water everywhere, and the bathtub/shower was poorly draining. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for the view and the food and service.

Both a fascinating and exciting journey through four Balkan nations, Serbia, Bosnia-Hercegovina , Croatia and Montenegro. After months of planning and adjustments with my excellent local specialist, Anna-Maria, the trip very much lived up to what I hoped for, getting to see most of the places I had planned to see and activities I had been interested to do including the hiking in Bosnia-Hercegovina. Learned a lot of history of the region from the guides, including Marko in Belgrade and Suzi in Sarajevo. In a region divided by recent conflict, what was so good about the guides was the different perspectives of the recent history. The highlight being a guided tour of the Siege of Sarajevo by Adnan Hasanbegovic, a veteran of the siege who showed me the tunnel of hope dug under the airport. Having been involved in the conflict as a both a civilian and a soldier, his account was so vivid, including the struggles he and many other experienced. From a conflict out of which so much hatred arose for the different nationalities involved, what was so impressive about Adnan's tour was how he had sympathy for those who he fought against, including the Serbs, as to how they were drawn into the conflict and for what they also suffered. Something which he said he found helpful in his work post-conflict focusing on reconciliation, during which me met many others who had survived conflicts.

Sarajevo itself was probably the highlight of my trip, being so full of diversity in terms of architecture and food, bringing together the best of its legacy being at the crossroads of the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I especially enjoyed the Turkish areas and most of all, the Bosnian Coffee. The hikes in Bosnia-Hercegovina were amazing. I had previously done the Seven Lakes trek through Slovenia with KimKim, which was a fantastic experience. but in Bosnia-Hercegovina though, there was a feeling that the nature was so much more untouched. This was especially evident on the Lukomir trek, visiting Bosnia's last traditional nomadic village where life has changed little in five hundred years.

Some much more natural beauty and historical sites were found in between Belgrade and Sarajevo and in between Sarajevo and Dubrovnik, including Tara National Park (the Lungs of Serbia), the Ottoman bridge in Mostar, the stunning Kravice Waterfalls and the two highlights the Dervish House at Blagaj and a ride on the Sargan Eight Railway. So much fantastic variety with great insight provided by guides Stefan and Abdul.

And the excitement didn't end there, the ride on the replica 16th century galleon Karaka was great fun, seeing the beauty of the Eliphate islands before a trip to Kotor in Montenegro the next day. The crew on Karaka were so fun while Montenegro guide Dejan was so knowledgeable, giving lots of great tips for photographers. All people involved in making this trip were so helpful, from specialist Anna-Maria who did a fantastic job finding great accommodation in all three cities I stayed in (especially the apartment in Dubrovnik's Old Town) , Marko in Belgrade, Stefan between Belgrade and Sarajevo, Verda on the Lukmir trek, Suzi and Adnan in Sarajevo, Abdul between Sarajevo and Dubrovnik, the Karaka crew and Dejan in Montenegro. All were so friendly and so hospitable. Natural feature that best reflected this though, was visiting the heart-shaped lake at Sutjeska National Park on the border of Bosnia and Montenegro, led by guide Jasmin. It truly opened my heart to the region and its people, as well as what they have largely come through following a difficult recent history.

Very very nice, but a little mush of a walk to Dubrovnik Old Town, particularly walking back because it’s all up hill. That being said, the actual room was very nice.

I also want to mention Allegra Travel from Zegrab which Kim Kim works with. Our local tour guide and driver Mario from Allegra accompanied us for 3 days from Zegreb to Split. He is very knowledgeable, fun and reliable. My kids said having Mario with us is the best highlight of the trip!

Our cycling trip through the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia was incredible, thanks to Robi. I can't say enough about how thoughtful and well-planned it was. From the very start of planning, and up until we said goodbye to Croatia, Robi was friendly, professional, responsive, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and all our questions answered. He made the planning process easy and painless, making sure our group was comfortable with all his suggestions and recommendations before anything was set or booked.

While in Croatia, he was always a step ahead to make sure all the details, logistics and coordination were taken care of so that we didn't have to worry about a thing on our trip. He helped us design a very customized self-guided cycling tour according to our ability level, and was patient and accommodating as we made changes and modified to our plans. He was super knowledgable about the region and gave us great tips to make our experience there even more special.
We loved all of the accommodations he booked for us (he helped customize according to our budget), and every logistical detail was smooth without any hiccups or surprises. He checked on us throughout our trip and was available the entire time to answer any questions we had.

I also want to give a huge shout out to his colleague, Goran, who was our amazing driver and support crew along the routes. He was super fun and so accommodating, and we just had a blast with him. He took care to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and felt comfortable with our bikes and routes each day.
Goran and Robi really made our trip epic and unforgettable and I'm so glad we were able to find with them through KimKim and create such a memorable vacation. Thank you so much, Robi!

The excellent service and responsiveness were consistent all through the process including before we booked the trip (going back and forth on different itineraries) up to the last day when our plane departed. Prior to the trip questions were answered within a few hours through the on-line chat, and during the trip Sarah and Ivan would respond to texts within minutes (about small stuff like questions about tipping etiquette, etc.)! We did not have to text with any problems because everything worked out perfectly – all transportation, hotels, and tour guides (probably our favorite part) were top notch! Sarah and Ivan reached out multiple times with more information if needed, and just to check on us to see how things were going. We would definitely work with Sarah and Ivan in the future and highly recommend them for your trip!
