I always say, do not consider me only as your guide, but as your friend, who is trying to make your trip more comfortable for you! At the end, it all about you, and if you are happy, I am happy! I will always treat you as any of my friends and with a passion to show the best of Croatia, to share and pass the knowledge, history, memories. Which will hopefully lead to great experiences and long-lasting memories and friendships from Croatia!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Croatia is the main destination that we are specialized in, although occasionally we do work in Slovenia and area. We customize trips that can be made of outdoor activities such as; hiking, kayaking, rafting, sailing, cycling, multisport, but we also like to emphasize the cultural side of Croatia, either combined with activities or on its own. We love doing honeymoons, which we do more and more, providing foodie experiences, doing wine tours and beer tours! There is a lot of cultural and UNESCO heritage in Croatia that is worthy of experiencing. You might say that we do experiential travel!"

How did you get involved in travel?

"I did not get involved in travel, since it was naturally part of me. As the outdoorsman from the early age, I liked to explore. I remember, in elementary school, I would go for hours hiking on neighboring hills, climb the trees, or sit in kayak and paddle out and follow the coastline and explore. Many years afterward, while studying ( Law and Mechanical engineering) one of my friends called me to join him on a rafting trip. Next thing you know, I was rafting, kayaking, hiking, sailing and doing all kind of things that I would do on my own, but now i did it for work! I got licensed for many technical skills, and for classical guiding to be able to officially share my knowledge and local history. I enjoy helping others to experience Croatia."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Few years ago, I got Top Guide award, which led me to the USA where I was traveling almost for a month along the West coast. I experienced, Seattle, Mt.Ranier, Portland, Multnomah falls, Redwoods Park, Sacramento, Yosemite, San Francisco and bay area, Napa Valley, Anaheim, West Hollywood Santa Monica, Las Vegas, Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, Joshua tree, Disneyland, San Diego, Torrey Pines, Safari park and more...
Beautiful places. Great Experience. There are so many things and places around the world to be seen, and it is not fair to say that one is better than the other, they are just different, and that is the beauty of traveling. However, the thing that I will remember the most, is the beautiful people from all those places that I was traveling to. Although I was a solo traveler, I was never alone. There was always someone who joined me on my adventures. And without those people, my friends, my experience would never be the same. For example, throwing the fish on Pikes market in Seattle or singing with gospel singers.

Overall the whole trip was experience that I will never forget. It felt really good. Great. Warm around my heart! And that is the experience and feeling I want to share and give to others."

My husband and I, along with my two daughters and their spouses, just spent 2 weeks in Croatia and we had the most amazing time! Robi could not have organized a more perfect trip for us. Planning was so easy with Robi - always extremely responsive, thorough and communications were very clear and detailed. He organized all of our local travel. connections, accommadions as well as local guides for tours in Split and Dubrovnik (Peter and Paulina respectively, were also so knowledgeable, helpful and fun!). We loved the complete flexibility in the schedule, activities and personalized itinerary he created for us.

Highlight of our trip was definitely the 6 days we spent sailing and exploring the Dalmation coast on a catamaran with Robi and Borna visiting Ston, Mali Ston, Slano and the islands of Mljet (with its beautiful National Park), Sipan and Lopud to name a few. We visited wineries in the Peljesac wine region and discovered many incredible wines that we enjoyed throughout our trip. Lots of hiking, biking, walking and climbing countless fortress walls, tasting fresh oysters right out of the sea and soaking in the sun and spectacular scenery. Robi is an incredibly skilled captain and guide, taking us to many “hidden gems” along the coast for swimming, paddle boarding and exploring.

Great food was a priority for us and Robi made sure that we enjoyed a wide range of the best Croatian culinary experiences. His restaurant and food recommendations were fabulous. We sampled so many wonderful regional dishes (oysters, mussels, octopus, calamari, peka, black risotto, pasticada, cevapi, brodetto, and of course Ston cake!), at both charming local and fine dining establishments.

We have so many wonderful memories, we cannot thank Robi enough. He is so personable, fun, professional and passionate with such in-depth knowledge of Croatian history and culture. His top priority was for us to have a fun filled, stress free and safe holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed every single minute and we would strongly recommend kimkim and Robi's services and catamaran tour.

My daughter and I just returned from our trip to Croatia. This is the first time I used a local travel agency to plan out trip. I am so glad that I did. Robi was more than excellent-he communicated with us daily and was able to make last-minute adjustments to our itinerary based on our preferences. His choice of hotels, guides, and restaurants was superb. I would highly recommend him and will do so to all of my friends traveling to Croatia. I only wish that we had more time to spend in this beautiful country.

All of the guides Robi connected us with were spectacular - Mario in Zagreb, Borna in Plitvice, Pero in Split, and Antea in Dubrovnik. Happily, we also spent the better part of a day with Robi, visiting the town of Ston, exploring local wineries, and getting a thorough history lesson on Croatia.

We have always had a great experience with Kim Kim and this is no exception. Thanks to Robi and his network of exceptional guides/historians, we had an incredible adventure in this beautiful country, Croatia!

We can’t say enough about how professional Robi was in his daily communications as well as working with our budget and being flexible with the group needs!!!

As I always say, if you are happy, I am happy. :)
Thank you for your trust.

Everything I design comes from personal experience. I know how it feels to arrive in a new country and face the unknown, so I’m truly glad to hear that I was able to contribute to your experience here.
We work with a very limited number of trusted people, and I’m happy to hear that quality was recognised.

It was a pleasure working with you from the very beginning — meeting you and showing you our hidden gems! :)
