Nikola Vojvodić

Nikola created a great itinerary for our family of 5 - two 50-somethings and our 18, 23 and 26 year old children. We loved our walking tour of Split with Ivana, our boat trip to the blue lagoon and Solta with plenty of swimming stops in between with Mirko. The tour of Hvar was great as we would likely not have ventured far from Hvar Town otherwise and the boat trip to the blue caves was beautiful. Korcula charmed us - Boris was a brilliant sea kayaking guide (we loved the home made Grk and cakes). And Ivana, our walking tour guide in Dubrovnik, was a fount of information. Nikola was in touch throughout and made the whole trip stress free. We will definitely be coming back to Croatia.

Hotel Reviews

Cornaro Hotel

Split

Excellent location for our short stay in Split. Loved the view from our room and thought the breakfast buffet was great. We loved the rooftop bar but were a bit disappointed by the pool, which was very small and cold.

Korcula Hill

Korčula

Our apartment was functional and worked well enough as a base to explore Korcula. The balcony was spacious but as we were on the first floor of the Ruzmarin building our view was blocked by the building in front of ours. We liked the beach club but would have appreciated more than 10% off as hotel guests.

Location

It was a bit further from Korcula Town than we might have liked but the electric cart transfers were brilliant - friendly drivers and always available.

Large and impersonal. Lunch in the poolside restaurant very disappointing as were the cocktails at the swim up bar. Main pool and sea swimming access good.

Hvar Half-Day Private Island Tour (Afternoon)

We loved our guide and particularly loved the “cave” at his family home where we did wine tasting. Would have rated this trip as 5 star were it not for the disappointing restaurant at the end of the trip - not good for vegetarians.

Ivana was great. She pitched things just right - plenty of Game of Thrones information for the fans in our party and lots of other helpful local colour and history. She was with us for nearly 2 hours so way more than the allotted time for the tour.

Our family had a wonderful vacation in Prague. Working with Nikola is a joy. Every detail was perfect: the hotel, the day trips, the sightseeing recommendations. We are already planning our next vacation, to Croatia, and would not consider working with anyone other than Nikola and the Kimkim team.

My friend and I set out to plan a trip for her 40th birthday. Nikola was helpful throughout the process and highlighted all the important sights to see. Our airport transfers were punctual, our tour guides were warm, kind and informative; our skippers for the boat tour was knowledgeable, and our culinary experience was amazing! We did so much in the week that we were there (a guided city tour in Dubrovnik, a hands-on culinary experience, a boat tour in Hvar, a visit to the National Park in Split, and a short stop to Ston). And in between each of those activities we were able to explore the city, enjoy delicious meals and nightlife as well. All our guides in each city treated us so warmly like family and were very knowledgeable and rooted in their culture. We can't wait to be back with our families to explore new sights!!

Croatia is a beautiful amazing country, and Nikola was fantastic! He was very professional and provided great insights and arranged the perfect 8 day trip for us. I had done my research and knew what my family would like to do, and Nikola took that input and arranged our hotels, transportation, and booked boat trips, wine tours, and walking tours of old town. Our walking tour guide knew that we wanted to see a couple of specific requests in Old Town and was also aware of some back issues for my husband and catered to our requests.

This is the third time I have used kimkim to book a European vacation for my family of four and each time, we have been really pleased with the service we have received from the local KimKim representatives. Thank you to Nikola (again, highly recommend him) and to kimkim in general.

Hotel Reviews

Hotel Bellevue Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik

Beautiful hotel but when we arrived the beach was closed due to erosion. While that happens, it would have been nice to know that before we arrived so we could have potentially made different arrangements. The hotel did provide shuttle services to other hotels that we were able to use for pool and ocean time. Lovely breakfast and generally the staff was accomodating and kind.

easy access to old town.

Excelsior Hotel

Dubrovnik

High end hotel, perfect location, and an amazing beach club area that was perfect for swimming and lunching in the sun. Staff was super helpful and provided a great dinner recommendation and reservation and also provided us boxed breakfast since we were leaving early for the airport. Highly recommend. Also...the views?! Unbelievable of Old Town, Lokrum Island and the coastline.

Authenticity & Character

Showcases the natural beauty of Croatia while being super high end.

Location

super close to old town and walkable but also away from the fray of tourists. Right on the water so easy to swim and have access to the best of downtown Dubrovnik.

Hotel Moeesy, Blue & Green Oasis

Unbelievable hotel. Highly recommend. beautiful pool and grounds and the staff were so helpful and lovely. The rooms for our family were adjoining and we had a gorgeous balcony overlooking the ocean. We had beach access as well.

Authenticity & Character

high end hotel that had all the amenities that we liked while being authentic to Croatia.

Location

Loved that we were not in the thick of the Hvar harbor area but an easy walk along the coast to get there. I couldn't have asked for a better location.

Staff

We received fantastic dinner recommendations every night and everyone was lovely and kind and went over and above to be helpful. My daughter left her wallet in the hotel when we checked out and a staff member ran back to the hotel, got the wallet, and brought it to us as we were about to board the ferry. So appreciated and beyond helpful.

Cleanliness & Comfort

The hotel rooms was perfection. I wouldn't change anything.

Nikola was above and beyond amazing. We had such a great trip. Nikola had such great insights and suggestions. From planning and designing our itinerary at the outset, to making adjustments and changes along the way, and being available and immediately responsive on our day to day questions and requests. Even last minute same day restaurant and hotel reservations were made and changed. Nikola has great energy, knowledge and enthusiasm about his country. The trip would not have been nearly as seamless and special without his guidance. Could not recommend him highly enough!

Hvar Half-Day Private Island Tour (Afternoon)

Hvar

touring Hvar with Grgo - who’s family goes back hundreds of years to the first recorded resodents on the island - was a highlight. He took is to his family home and winery, and into a 350 year old rock wine cave where we had a tasting. It was fascinating to see a part of Hvar and hear stories that you would never see or hear in the main cities.

Good day New Friends!

Our trip was beyond amazing and so well-orchestrated from beginning to end. The patience and guidance in planning is perfect for family traveling (such as us) or just someone who needs support visiting new countries. And they were able to meet all of our requested tours within our limited days in country! With 3 teenagers all with different interests and being the first international travel adventure for 2 of them, that is an accomplishment in itself.

Duje (spelling may be off but our driver from Zagreb) was the family favorite. He shared the rich history of your country, was able to answer all our questions, was engaging, sharing off the beaten path insight into cities and parks, and provided the insight into Croatia and its people we were looking for.

Each day of our trip was made stress free by the seamless coordination of the drivers, guides, hotel staff, and Nikola's fast answers to any questions we had. Sarah ( Dubrovnik) and Jo ( Zagreb) were our in city tour guides that your cities should be proud of. Both provided sites unknown and off the typical tourist track we visited on our own with our free time. As we spent one day in Zagreb without Jo then were able to tour with her on our last day, I can tell you SO worth it. She turned the city alive with her excitement and fun little-known facts/hidden secrets- it was such a memorable day about Zagreb!

Food recommendations met all our needs and if you don't put your recommendation of Dvor on your regular recommendation list, you are crazy! Great view, great service, so unique - one of my entire family's favorite meals.

A once in a lifetime trip only made better by having your support!
