Croatia Custom Tours

Sarah (and Ivan) were incredibly helpful in planning our trip to Croatia and Slovenia. Everything went off without a hitch. All of our details were attended to-every guide and transfer was on time. Sara made great recommendations for restaurants. And we knew that they were available with any questions as the trip went on and their responses were thorough and prompt.
We covered a lot of territory in 11 days but the way that Sarah planned made it seem like we experienced lots of things without being rushed. Thank you so much. Highlights were walking the wall of the old city of Dubrovnik, bike tour of Korčula, island tour of Hvar, Plitvice (so worth stopping there/ do 5 mile hike to upper falls!), Ljubljana walking tour and trip to Lake Bled. Loved it all!

This trip was a good combination of exercise, scenic beauty, and cultural history. Our guides Robi and Garon were enthusiastic and helpful. The sea water clarity and blue colors was remarkable. The water quality is an asset that needs protection for the ecosystem and the local economy. The people were friendly and the hotel accommodations were very good. I recommend this vacation trip.

We had a wonderful trip in Croatia, starting in Split, then Hvar, Mljet, and Dubrovnik. The hotels were all lovely and the guided tours had just the right balance of education, fun and duration. Whenever we had a problem the group chat established by the KimKim team allowed for very quick and easy responses. I forgot a bag in Hvar and it was placed on the next ferry for pick up in Dubrovnik. Although the KimKim team had nothing to do with food, the Croatian food was amazing - always fresh and tasty. I would definitely go to Croatia again and I would definitely book with the KimKim team for Croatia or any other of their amazing destinations.

Villa Orabelle

Very nice hotel and staff. Very good breakfasts. Good location but know that its 1.3 miles from the old town. But also a good location for less touristy restaurants.

Corallium Imperiale

A sterile apartment. It was fine as a launching place to explore Mljet, but no charm.

Adriana Hvar Spa Hotel

Hvar

The room was nice, the breakfasts were good, but the staff was inept. They couldn't find our reservation, and service at breakfast was dodgy. But the location was great.

Activity Reviews

Half Day Boating Excursion to the Elaphite Islands

Dubrovnik

We opted out of the Elaphite islands and went to Lokrum (closer island) instead. We loved Lokrum - it is a great way to spend half-day hiking and swimming. Simon our skipper was wonderful.

Hike to Lost Villages of Hvar, Croatian Peka Lunch

Croatia

Wonderful activity. Our guide, Josip (spelling?) was knowledgeable and fun. The hike was easy and mostly downhill...perhaps too easy for those of us who want a bit more exercise before lunch. He knew everything about local plants, history, and life on the island. Highly recommended. And the lunch was one of the highlights of our trip. They prepared Octopus in a Peka that slow cooks the food for 2 hours. It was the best octopus I've ever had and the restaurant was in a delightful, charming setting. The family that owned the restaurant were wonderful.
