Nikola Vojvodić

Born and raised on a small island in North Dalmatia, Nikola is an expert in adding a local, authentic touch to your Croatian adventure. His life-long dream is to visit every one of Croatia's 1000 islands and islets, and is steadily getting closer to achieving his goal. He creates itineraries that will cater to every individual interest for a truly one of a kind vacation.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Tailor-made tours: Sightseeing, Hot Air Balloon, Food & Wine, Heritage and Historical, Birdwatching, Game of Thrones, Sailing. There is no greater excitement than working on an itinerary that involves a mix of adventure activities, historical sightseeing and appreciating the best of the region through food, wine, and local stories."

How did you get involved in travel?

"Living on an island which attracted a number of visitors in the summertime, I was involved in the family business from early childhood. I loved being surrounded by people from different countries and cultures and showing them my hometown, so choosing a career in tourism was a natural decision for me."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"A month spent on a solo walk along the Camino (French Way) - starting my journey in France, and ending in Fisterra, Spain (The End of The World). During the course of a month, I met an array of different people, made life-long friendships all over the world, and grew as a person. "

Working with Nikola for our first trip to Croatia was fantastic. It was easy to set up phone calls to plan our trip. He contacted us every day during our trip to check in and review the itinerary for the following day. He arranged, top-notch accommodations, excellent guides and lists of activities and restaurants, all of which met our needs perfectly.

Our first day in Split, we had a private tour of Diocletian’s palace given by Salvador. He was knowledgeable and friendly. The next two days we had tours of Krka park, Klis Fortress, Sibenic and Trogir guided by Ivana. She has spent so much time in the national park that she knew the location of every frog and snake! From Trogir we traveled to Dubrovnik by way of Mostar. Our driver, Alen, helped facilitate getting across the border to Bosnia and back seamlessly. The private tour of Mostar, with a guide also named Alen, was memorable and informative. In Dubrovnik, we stayed at a magnificent hotel overlooking the Adriatic sea. We received a free upgrade to a villa. The views and amenities were five star. We had a private tour of the old town with a guide who was a university trained archaeologist (also named Ivana). She had lived through the siege in the early 90s and was open to discussing her experiences.

In summary, I cannot say enough good things about how this trip turned out. Every guide, driver, and restaurant recommendation was top-notch. Most of all, I appreciate the transparency in terms of what to expect with every aspect of our trip. This was not the case with other travel companies we have used..

Fun morning for sure, but I'd say our overall feeling about this was "meh". Our particular rafting group struggled to follow the guide's instructions somewhat and weren't the most fun group...which lessened the fun. Also, wish the rafting experience had been longer because 1 1/2 hours really felt too short. The guides and staff were pretty good and helpful though, so my comments are not a reflection of them.

Nikola even helped coordinate with the rental car company to get it picked up in Split. We then stayed in Split and ferried over to Havar and then Korcula and ended in Dubrovnik. We had city tours in each city and an amazing boat excursion in Dubrovnik. Our guides were wonderful. We also had plenty of leisure time to do our own things. The biggest luxury this trip provided was every place had "luggage assistance" or someone there to greet us and help get us to the next lodging location or excusion. My Mother-in-law said she felt like royalty. We booked this trip with the help of KimKim because my in laws are in the late 70s and I needed to know they could physically do this trip. Navigating transportation and luggage with them has started to become a challenge. With this trip, they were taken care of all along the way. Every evening we received a text from Nikola letting us know the exact schedule the next day. Nikola was always available and responded immediately when we messaged him on the trip with any questions or needs we had. The accommodations were wonderful and the app was extremely user friendly and easy to get the documents/tickets we needed. This was a trip of a lifetime and I would recommend and use KimKim again in the future.

When we arrived at the hotel, we were trying to navigate working with our travel agent, the car rental company, and the hotel regarding out rental car pick up. We were told by our agent to park the car and let the hotel know where it is at and the rental car company will come and get it. When we arrived, the hotel check in women was not happy that we parked the car (since its paid parking) and wish we would have called the hotel first and not parked. The hotel has a couple of spots reserved we could have used. We understand why she was frustrated but several times she criticized our travel agent for not giving us the hotel number and telling us to call before parking. I understand there was a miscommunication and it meant she needed to coordinate with the rental car company and figure out where we parked the car but she was very unprofessional to criticize our travel agent for this miscommunication. Our agent was wonderful our entire trip and did not need to be criticized because of this. She could have handled it all very differently. She could have had us move the car to the new spot, like we offered, or be annoyed without making that very clear to us. This was just a very negative beginning to our stay all for us to have the luxury of getting our rental car picked up for us. We were thrilled that it was getting picked up and we did not need to return it ourselves.

This was a beautiful apartment located in the hills of Korcula. We had access to a lovely beach near a fun restaurant. We loved the apartment set up with multiple bathrooms, gorgeous deck, and a washer/dryer!!! Only complaint would be how far away it is from Old Town and the cost to get back and forth. Initial was easy to arrange rides with the shuttle and taxis but was expensive to go back and forth.

This was such a great way to see so many small towns along the way from Zagreb to Split. The car was delivered to the hotel and picked up from the next hotel. It was wonderful.

Dear Nicole,
Thank you so much for this beautiful and thoughtful review — it truly made my day! 😊
I’m so happy to hear that the itinerary felt perfect and that you could enjoy Croatia at your own pace, from Zagreb down to Dubrovnik, with stops in Rastoke, Sibenik, and Trogir along the way. That balance of freedom and support is exactly what I always hope to create. It means a lot to me that you and your mother-in-law felt like royalty — knowing that you all were comfortable and well taken...

That balance of freedom and support is exactly what I always hope to create. It means a lot to me that you and your mother-in-law felt like royalty — knowing that you all were comfortable and well taken care of with luggage assistance, greetings, and smooth transfers was my top priority, and I’m delighted we got it right. Thank you for mentioning the evening messages and the app — I know how important it is to have peace of mind when traveling as a family! It was a real pleasure to plan this trip of a lifetime for you. I would love to welcome you all back to Croatia anytime!

Maya in particular used her own lived experience of the area around Piran to take us on back roads to take full advantage of all the area has to offer including a beautiful lunch place situated overlooking the Adriatic Sea - she also suggested what we could do to enjoy our time more fully.
Both drivers allowed us to make choices as to what we wanted to do according to the weather & what we felt we would enjoy.
They were both on time & courteous & friendly at all times always willing to answer our questions & shared their own life experiences so we got a full glimpse into life in Slovenia.
