Anita Matijasevic

I am passionate about travels, positive and enthusiastic people and exploring new places off the beaten path. Always ready for new life adventures and exciting experiences that make my heart beat faster. I enjoy creating unique travel experiences for my travelers, family and friends by immersing them in the reality of the country they are visiting.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I enjoy organising couple getaways, family&friends trip, hiking adventures and wine tasting experience through Italy and Spain and immersing my travellers in the local culture and traditions of the country they will be visiting."

How did you get involved in travel?

"It all started at the age of 15 and when I escaped from home with my older sister, one bag and passport on a day trip from Croatia to the Amusement park in the northern Italy. That trip made me want to travel and discover more which ulteriorly led me to one of the best decisions in my life - to enter the University and study foreign languages. After getting my bachelor's degree in Italian Language and Literature I got opportunity to spend 6 months on a Erasmus Study Stay in Naples, visit the south of Italy and later on start my first working experience aboad, in beautiful Florence. For my personal passions and redevelopment of my native country Croatia, I have also participated in various cultural and debating projects for which I have traveled a lot through Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Poland, Turkey, Lithuania, Latvia and met so many interesting people with same interest in travel who just confirmed me my life vision - dreams do come true, they sometimes just take time."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One travel experience that makes me particularly happy happened in December 2019. After my university studies I wanted to turn my lifelong dream into reality, so I booked a one way ticket for my dream continent - South America and voluntereed for two months in Chile, Argentina and Brasil. I will never forget the simplicity and warmth of local people, the colorful streets always full of music, exotic fruits never seen before and beautiful panoramic views on every corner. I consider myself happy because I've got the chance to live with locals in their families and share everyday moments which helped me understand more their culture, break down all the stereotypes that media wanted me to believe and made me see the real South America in a way that might not have occured otherwise."

Kimkim was great and getting a trip organized in such a short period of time. We went to Milan Italy and then took day trips via public transportation throughout the week. The team was responsive to all concerns that we had during our trip. Anita was great and helping us plan our day trips and getting excursion scheduled. My only complaint is the hotel that was chosen was so far from everything else that we did. I felt like we spent so much time traveling back-and-forth on trams and trolleys and trains to get to where we needed to go when we could’ve been closer to the city center. There were no restaurants or shopping nearby our hotel. If we had been closer to the city center, it would’ve made for a much more enjoyable trip.

All of the transportation/transfers that she planned for us were all professional drivers, prompt, spoke English, and were very helpful. We will book all future trips with Kimkim! Our highest compliments.

Awesome hotel! In a quiet neighborhood, where locals live, yet lively in the evenings while walking back. Right on the canal. Restaurants nearby, lively atmosphere at night yet not loud at all. We had a family suite that was very spacious, modern decor, breakfast was excellent as well. The hotel is very clean, our room was perfect! The bar downstairs was really great too, with delicious cocktails and a nice sitting lounge for grabbing a drink before heading out for the evening. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved the hotels we had in Florence and Sorrento. Numa in Rome was not a great experience. My bed had ants in it. The rooms were tiny. I lived the You Know Boat tour of the Amalfi coast in the last day. I was frustrated with our trains between cities because there was a know issue with delays, and our trains reservations could have been changed to avoid it, but our travel agent did not so that. It took us 5.5 hours to get from Florence to Naples instead of 3.

Hi Renee,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm happy to hear that you loved your stays in Florence and Sorrento, and that you enjoyed the boat tour along the Amalfi Coast.

Regarding the train journey, as we discussed through the Traveler App during your trip, there were major rail reconstruction works taking place on the route during your travel dates, which caused significantly longer travel times than usual. We booked Business Class tickets for your family so that the journey would be as comfortable as possible despite the longer travelling time. When you reached out about changing to a different train, my Team and I have checked the available options right away. Unfortunately, at that point (one day before), changing the reservation would have required paying double the price, making it a very costly change.

I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience at the hotel in Rome. This is the first time we've ever received feedback like this about that property. I wish you had let me know while you were there. I would have contacted the hotel immediately to request a room change and make sure the issue was addressed as quickly as possible.

It was a pleasure helping you plan your family's journey through Italy, and I wish you and your family all the best on your future travels. Warm regards, Anita

He got to know us so that he could cater the tour around our likes and dislikes, allowing us to spend more time in beautiful gardens and castles that were not busy and less time in popular, but must see sites with big crowds.

I checked with trip app reps prior to picking up vehicle to be sure we could fit large suitcase and four carry on bags and was told it should not be a problem. We ended up with two suitcases between our kid in back seat. The Lagos apartments were nice but there were issues. It is difficult to find the check in area, especially at night. No one could provide easy directions and it would have been easy to explain by giving us the name of sign to turn at. Guard had to come find us after 30 minutes. In addition, the apartment A\C leaked and floor was soaked. They moved us to another apartment for that evening and moved us back the following afternoon. It leaked again and maintenance came and fixed again. I thought KimKim would offer some sort of restitution but it seems that is something you don’t do.

Hi Joel, thank you for your review! I’m glad the cooking class and the sailing along the Amalfi Coast were such highlights of your trip. I also appreciate your kind words about Agriturismo La Pievina and Hotel Tirrenia, and I’ll make sure to pass your feedback along to the hosts and staff.
It was a pleasure helping you plan this journey, and I’d be happy to help you again whenever you start thinking about your next trip. Wishing you all the best, Anita
