There I helped visitors to plan there holiday in Croatia.""

""Many years ago I was traveling in Egypt and Jordan. I experienced Cairo, Luxor, Nile River, Hurghada, Sinai Peninsula, Aqaba, Wadi Rum and Petra. Great experience. Beautiful places.

Bruno was very responsive and so helpful. I had flight issues going to Croatia and leaving as well, and he was able to be super flexible in reorganizing my transfer and everything else. He also gave great suggestions for restaurants and was available everyday via Whatsapp. I also heard from hotel staff that he's their favorite person to work with, always sharing info ahead of time so the hotels have time to manage any guest needs.

Croatia is a beautiful country. Our guides were knowledgeable and very pleasant to be with. Bruno had everything organized and timed perfectly. If there is something that could be improved it is the snorkeling equipment on our excursion. There was not enough for our group and it was in pretty bad shape. Other than that everything else was wonderful. Read more

A fantastic adventure in beautiful Croatia

I'm not one who gives out 5 stars loosely. This absolutely was a 5-star trip to Croatia. Our specialist Bruno was professional, attentive to our requests, quick to reply and very patient. We spent 9 nights in Croatia with 3 nights each in Dubrovnik, Korcula and Split. Bruno was able to balance our days with tours and activities but also enough down time to relax at a beach or freshen up for a nice meal and evening. We had walking tours in both Dubrovnik (with Ana) and Split (with Mia). Both young ladies were extremely knowledgable about their country's history but also willing and able to answer any questions we had be them history related or not. We were thrilled to hear that Mia would also be our guide for a trip to Krka National Park. Mia's energy and personality is both refreshing and enviable. George, our tour guide on Korcula took us around the island and was a delight. We really enjoyed his stories. We took the ferry over to Hvar one day and had a driving tour with Venko. We had some very interesting conversations with him. All of them were flexible with weather-related changes and all were very professional. We also had a great day on a boat ride to a number of islands. While Steve drove the boat Marin took great care of us--a very fun day. Bruno planned wine, olive oil, oysters and mussels tastings, hikes, a bike ride and I'm sure I'm missing some other things. Bruno coordinated all connections with ferries, guides and cars with no issues. I will definitely be recommending Bruno to friends who are planning trips to Croatia and I was so impressed with him and KimKim that I am using them for our next trip to Japan.

Hotel Review

Hotel Korsal

Korčula

Hotel Korsal is in a perfect location. It is easily walkable to the ferry or the town. There is a beach right in front of the hotel with paddle boards and kayaks for rent. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful with tables both indoors and out. We also had a delicious dinner there. The waitstaff and reception staff are probably the nicest group of hotel workers we have ever met. There is nothing they wouldn't do for you and always with a smile. They notice if you have a favorite drink or like a particular table. The area is very quiet at night. We had a suite with a very comfortable bed, a spacious living area and a balcony overlooking the water.

Authenticity & Character

Good spots to relax with a cover option from sun.

Location

Walking distance to the town and the ferry/boat taxi.

Staff

Very attentive and so friendly.

Cleanliness & Comfort

Great bed, spotless room.

Activity Reviews

Krka National Park- 1 days trip from Split

Split

The park is beautiful with some gorgeous waterfalls. There are crowds-the later it gets the worse it gets. The hike is easy to navigate. Bring lots of water.

Quality of Experience

It's just very crowded-nothing you can do about hat but leave as early as possible.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Mia walked us the opposite way most of the people were walking (it's huge circle) which actually made our experience better.

Transport

Mia arrived right on time and drove the van very well. She is an energizer bunny.

Private boat trip to Lastovo

Korčula

This was a really long but very fun day. The boat was very spacious with space for both sun and shade. We snorkeled in a couple of places, went swimming in beautiful coves, Marin told us about each island, took a bike ride on Lastovo and had an amazing lunch.

Pelješac penisula and Ston + wine tasting

Dubrovnik

There was so much to do on this excursion. The salt flats were interesting. We watched a short movie and walked around the area. It's not a big place but we found it quite interesting. It was very hot that day but we still walked the path from Ston to Little Ston. It is A Lot of steep steps and in the heat it is difficult. It took much longer than anticipated. We have been on a number of winery tours in the US and Europe and we still learned new things form this tour. The wines were very good and it was the only winery we went to that shipped to the US.

Quality of Experience

Quite challenging in the heat.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

George was a lovely person. He was very entertaining throughout the day.

Transport

Very comfortable van for the six of us.

Private Guided Walking Tour of Dubrovnik Old Town

Dubrovnik

Ana was so knowledgable about Croatia's history and explained it in such a way that it was easy to remember. She took us through the whole city and showed us some special places to return to the next day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better trip than the one Bruno planned for us. Croatia was my dream trip for 10 years and I had a rough idea of the big things I wanted to do but no idea where to start. With so much to see and 11 days available Bruno gave us the best possible guide through it. We were able to see parts of Istria, travel inland and go to two different national parks, as well as visit Dubrovnik and Split AND do a cave tour and we never felt rushed. Bruno took my many questions and... Read more
