Ana Bicanic

Ana proposed right away a plan on this platform, which is a big plus that for most of the country tour guides don’t do. We had already the chance to review a practical proposal and we could change things very fast. The vacation overall was the best of our lives. Beside Bali being a paradise by itself, we squeezed in our two weeks trip everything we could, from workshops to treks, to beaches and cultural visits. Ana was always available and helped us with a last minute change of plan due to our sickness. At the next Asia trip I will definitely hope to have her agency (if not her directly) organise our trip.

Our trip to Ubud, Uluwatu, Kuta Lombok, and Gili Air was amazing. Ana curated a fun and interesting family trip to two adults and two teenagers. Having the friendly drivers booked and activities organised meant no hassles or decisions while there. It made the whole trip easier and everything worked! It was a good mix of temples, snorkelling, cooking, waterfalls, cycling and nice small hotels with great pools. Dengung on Bali and Suallii on Lombok were excellent drivers/guides. We would highly recommended Ana organises your holiday too.

Loads of fun. Beautiful scenery. An absolute must to get a feel for inland Bali and the rice terraces.

Junna somsir was there for us at every step he was always on time and always very clear on our instructions for the day. We struggled with his English and that would be the only criticism. It took time to get to know him, and I felt he served as a wonderful ambassador to all of Indonesia not just north Sumatra.

Ana made a last-minute trip to Indonesia easy, comfortable, and incredible. She paired me with great drivers (Satria and Oka) and local guides (Like Duy at Prambanan and Bayu at Bromo) and was always just a WhatsApp message away when I had questions on the trip! I would definitely book with Ana again!

I could never have made these arrangements at these prices, and I would have been flying blind if I tried. I’ve put together big family trips without agents, and it does not feel like vacation when you have to worry about all the logistics. I’m a worrier, but Kim Kim made Indonesia nearly care-free! Transfers, accommodations, tour bookings… plus they provided a SIM card, a pre-trip briefing, and were always available on WhatsApp if questions arose. I’ll be using them again and worrying even less!

Proposed Kimkim review Big thanks to Ana from Shanti Travel for an excellent itinerary, which perfectly captured our request to focus on beaches and nature of Bali & Sumba. The selected accommodation were also great choices aligned with those themes. Really took the hassle out of planning a holiday. Ana & Theresa were also available for support during the trip. Thank you to Putra for providing comfortable & reliable transportation in Bali. And we were very lucky to have Jhon as our very experienced & knowledgeable guide in Sumba, who helped us to appreciate the island’s beautiful scenery & interesting culture & history.

Anna was amazing, she guided us through everything and ended up making the ideal itinerary for us.

Great holiday. We visited Bali and the Komodo archipelago in a three days boat tour. Boat trip in Komodo the highlight of the trip. Ana took care of the driver in Bali and of the cruise in Komodo. Palquda in Bali and Mikel in Komodo looked after us perfectly. Other than a small initial hicchup (make clear if you just booked a driver or also a guide), everything was perfect. Ana was very receptive and quick to answer us about any question/problem. Highly recommended.
