Soul of Croatia

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.

Robi was very kind. He was available at all times with maps, pins for meeting places, the next day activities, and recommendations. Every driver for transfers was kind and helpful. hotels were well located, very clean and extraordinarily hospitable. We were very happy with the food, wine, and so many very personal experiences.

The trip was absolutely amazing!
Roberto (Robi) did an unbelievable job getting it all organized, it was truly a trip of a lifetime. From the moment we got there we felt welcomed and very well taken care of from our wonderful drivers (Matty and Dino) to our tour guides (Petar and Antea). All, including Robi, were very gracious with a great passion and wealth of knowledge for their country. I would highly recommend Robi to anyone as much for his professionalism as well as his genuine heart and above and beyond service that shines through, often checking in with everyone to make sure all are enjoying their experience. Unforgettable trip!

Robi and his team were amazing!!! Robi was essential in making my 50th birthday celebration with my sisters in Croatia unforgettable. His insights on where to go, what to see, places to eat, as well as handling all the logistics made our vacation worry free and incredibly memorable. I’d recommend his company Soul of Croatia / AC/DC to everyone who wants a high quality experience. Thank you Robi!!!

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.

Robi, thanks for taking great care of us!

Daniela and Roberto helped my family enjoy a memorable visit to Croatia. The itinerary was well organized ensuring we covered all areas of interest. They have outstanding communication both throughout planning and during the trip. Every day we received a what’s app message detailing the next day activities with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations which made planning our day so easy. All accommodations, tour guides and car transfers were wonderful. I highly recommend their service. You will not be disappointed!

Robert (Robi) took time to understand our travel preferences and build multiple itineraries for our consideration. Once we landed on a 7-day plan that took us from Zagreb down to Dubrovnik, he kept us well informed of the steps leading up to the trip. During the trip, we received daily messages about the towns we’d visit, restaurant suggestions and detailed instructions on where/when to meet our guides. 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!

From the pre-trip planning, to execution, to departure, Robi was amazing. He thoughtfully organized our tour in Croatia according to our needs. He was flexible where necessary (and he had to be because there were a few unpredictable changes due to travel issues), very knowledgeable about Croatian history and current events, an excellent driver, and a great guide. Furthermore, it felt like he really cared about our enjoyment; checking in continuously and making sure that everything was running smoothly. I recommend Kimkim and especially Robi for your next adventure in Croatia.
