Sarah Cosic

I'm originally from Burlington, Canada and I have always loved traveling, meeting new people and discovering unique places. Once I graduated university, I decided to take a year off to travel before finding a full time job back home. Little did I know, that year would turn into something much more! I spent 11 months in Croatia the first time around, and then I just kept on coming back to learn more, see more and discover more.

Here I am, 17 years later, living in Croatia, running Royal Croatian Tours with my Croatian husband. Our company is geared towards private, small group travel, where we’re able to create completely personalized, tailor-made trips. Our vision is simple: to show our guests the wonders of Croatia, the culture, the beauty and the people, all while providing exceptional client support. We want you to feel like you have a friend in Croatia, and that you have 100% support from us throughout your trip, for any reason at all!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"We specialize in luxury travel throughout Croatia, and offer all of our activities privately, so you won’t ever have to join a larger group (unless of course, you want to). Some of the activities we offer include wine tasting, cooking classes, hiking, cycling and sea kayaking adventures, historical walking tours, along with boating excursions around the islands. "

How did you get involved in travel?

"Like I said, I discovered Croatia on one of my trips back in 2007, where I fell in love with the country (and then ended up marrying a local, who is now also my business partner at Royal Croatian Tours).

Since we both love exploring and showing people the beauty of Croatia, opening our own agency just came naturally. We think we make an excellent combo, as Ivan is a local Croatian and knows all of the ins and outs of Croatia, while I’m an expat, and do all of the communication with our guests personally. Coming from Canada, I understand what our guests are looking for when planning their trip, and traveling to a foreign country.
"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I once rowed a small wooden boat down the entire length of the Mississippi River (around 2400 miles) with 5 other people. The journey took around 4 months to complete, we camped every night on the riverbank and cooked over an open fire - except when sweet, sweet local people would randomly invite us in for the night and prepare us a delicious home-cooked meal. It was this unexpected hospitality of complete strangers that I’ll never forget. Who in the world would invite 6 people they hadn’t even met (who also hadn’t showered in weeks) into their home and treat them like family? It was getting to know all of these different individuals, hearing their stories, and feeling their love that will always stay with me. I’ll also never forget how cold and wet we were, as it rained for a month straight and our boat had no cover or shelter. "

3.5 mile walk into the old town and far from any local shops or restaurants.
Staff
Unfriendly and boarder line rude. Our key did not work multiple times and we continued to have it replaced. They dismissed our concerns and said it was because we put it next to our cell phone (we didn’t.) The ATM in their lobby stole €50 from us and they were unhelpful. They did not greet us or smile and seemed constantly annoyed if we had questions.

Sarah was great to work with in planning our family trip to Croatia! I usually plan my own trips so it was different for me to use a trip planner. Sarah was extremely responsive throughout the entire experience including when we were in touch with her once we were on the ground.

We enjoyed the sampling of cities — Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik — that gave us a taste of what Croatia was all about. Hvar was our family’s personal favorite. Through our interactions with our bike tour guide and boat excursion skipper we got a sense of the local culture and pride in the island.

Sure in retrospect there were a few things I would do differently, but we had a good first experience with Kimkim and I know how to better communicate our interests the next time.

Nick at Hotel Giordanno was very gracious and kind during our stay, the ladies at Irini Luxury Rooms were very helpful during our stay in Split. We had a tremendous time on this "bucket list" trip. We wanted to go to Croatia as my paternal grandparents immigrated from this country, it was very moving to go to Samobor and find where my Dad's roots began. Croatia is a beautiful country and all of the people that we met along the way were very welcoming. We are hoping to return one day with our children. Sarah, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this trip a dream come true.

Our recent honeymoon in Croatia, customized by Sarah and Ivan from the kimkim travel group, was an absolute dream come true! Sarah and Ivan were easily reachable and communicated with us throughout the entire trip, ensuring seamless transitions between accommodations and making sure our trip was smooth and easy. From the moment we landed in Dubrovnik to our final day in Split, every detail was meticulously planned, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and culture of this stunning country.

Our journey began in the enchanting city of Dubrovnik. The Hotel Bellevue lived up to its 5-star rating, offering breathtaking sea views and impeccable service. Immediately upon check-in, we went downstairs to the beautiful local beach conveniently located downstairs and accessible by a hotel elevator that takes you directly to the entrance of the beach. The hotel was also walking distance to the old town where we could tour the city walls at night and immerse ourselves in Dubrovnik’s rich history as we walked the 2km stretch. The sunset kayaking excursion around the old town was a magical experience we'll never forget.

The day trip to Cavtat was a delightful surprise. The local farm that we visited in this charming coastal town was truly an unforgettable experience. The authentic Croatian meal we prepared alongside the farm’s owner Jadra was a feast for the senses - the flavors were incredible, and the hospitality was heartwarming.

In Hvar, the Amfora Grand Beach Resort provided the perfect blend of luxury and relaxation. The private island discovery tour was a highlight, with our knowledgeable guide J.J. sharing fascinating insights about Hvar’s history and culture. The boating excursion to the Pakleni Islands and Brač was simply spectacular - crystal clear waters, secluded bays, and the freedom to explore at our own pace.

Split captivated us with its ancient charm. The cooking class was an absolute delight - shopping at the local market and then creating traditional dishes under the guidance of our chef was both fun and educational. Our guide for exploring Diocletian’s Palace was exceptional, bringing the ancient stones to life with engaging stories and historical context.

Throughout our trip, the guides provided by kimkim were outstanding. Their passion for their regions shone through in every interaction, and they went above and beyond to ensure we had unforgettable experiences.
