Breathe in Travel

We worked with Laurent to book a girls trip to southern Croatia, and I can't say enough great things about him and the process. There is no way we would have had the trip we did without him. He worked patiently with us beforehand to understand what we were looking for and came up with an itinerary that matched our interests, travel style, and budget and then made changes and adjustments till we got it just right. He booked everything for us and gave us all our trip information in the app as well as in a PDF for easy reference. But most importantly, he was extremely responsive when we were on the trip and needed help or had questions. For example, we were notified the night before that a whole-day tour we had booked was cancelled due to weather. We reached out to Laurent, he got on the phone with us to give us some options and by the next morning we were booked on a whitewater rafting trip that was a highlight of our trip! All of the hotels he booked and restaurants he suggested were a perfect match for what we were looking for.

My weeklong trip to Croatia with two friends was spectacular! Everything about Croatia far exceeded our expectations and this was largely due to, Laurent, our KimKim travel agent. We were based in Split and spent several days touring the island of Korcula, as well as traveling to the Cetina river for an epic rafting adventure. We biked around Korcula, visited a local winery, and spent the day on Mjlet Island riding bikes around the stunning lake. Mjlet National Park is one of the most beautiful spots I've ever seen. Laurent made every aspect of our trip easy and stress free. From arranging all of the transportation logistics, making dinner reservations at delicious restaurants, booking us in amazing boutique hotels, arranging all of our activities, and being available to help us 24/7, Laurent was a true gift. I cannot say enough about what a fabulous experience we had with the KimKim team. Thank you for making our holiday so special!

We had the best adventure biking around Korcula. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. We stopped at pristine beaches for swimming and visited a beautiful vineyard for wine tasting and charcuterie. It was the best way to see the island!

We loved mountain biking around Korcula.

Blue Cave, Vis & Hvar Excursion

Split

It ended up being too windy so the Blue Cave boat trip was canceled. We did a rafting trip on the Cetina River outside of Omiš as an alternative. It was amazing!

Quality of Experience

Incredible guides from all over the world. The river was gorgeous and the rapids very exciting. We swam through a cave.

I wanted to share my feedback regarding my recent solo tour of Croatia. Overall, I had a fantastic experience.

My tour guide, Laurent, was incredibly well-informed and always available via WhatsApp whenever I had questions or needed assistance. The trip was exceptionally well-organized, and the excursions at each location featured knowledgeable local guides. Additionally, the 3- and 4-star hotels were very nice and situated in excellent locations in every city.

My only complaint is that none of my hotel rooms had a good view. I almost always request an ocean, sea, or water view when on vacation, and I was surprised this was not noted for the tour. However, this is a minor issue that I will be sure to emphasize for my next trip, as I adored Croatia and will definitely book with Kimkim again.

Thank you for your help in organizing such a memorable trip.

Sunrise at Plitvice Lakes

Plitvice Lakes

Absolutely beautiful!

Day Tour to Krka National Park & Šibenik

Croatia

If you are planning to visit Plitvice, then I recommend skipping this tour. The guide and the drive to Krka park was wonderful. But as a waterfall park it's redundant to visit Krka if you are planning to visit Plitvice. However, the swimming time after the visit to the park was fabulous! A tour to a beautiful swimming beach would have sufficed for me.

Rural Biking & Wine Tasting in Konavle

Croatia

This was a visit to a section of Croatia, Konavle Valley, I would not have picked to see while in Dubrovnik. It is a hidden gem, and I highly recommend the visit with the tour company KimKim booked. History, biking and wine tasting... a perfect sightseeing day.

Quality of Experience

The historical significance of the valley.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Deep knowledge of the region and its history.

My trip through Bosnia (and part of Croatia) with a rental car was fantastic. My local specialist, Laurent, skillfully helped me figure out a loose itinerary based on my interests and set up my hotels ahead of time, so it was no muss no fuss, and the hotels were excellent and charming overall. Bosnia was relatively un-touristed when I visited, except for Mostar which lured in the day-trippers from Croatia, so it was great to not have to deal with hordes of tour buses. I had great culinary adventures with roast lamb in Jablanica, čevapi in Travnik, croissants at a 500 year old bakery in Sarajevo, fresh trout in Una National Park, and so on. There was splendid bridge architecture in Mostar, Sarajevo, Višegrad, and Trebinje. Amazing castle overlooks and old town hikes in Počitjelj, the decaying 1984 Winter Olympics venue in Sarajevo, and the sculpture garden at Ostrožac castle was incredible. Beautiful Muslim, Orthodox and Catholic holy places were often built right next to each other in nearly every town. And the river and waterfall colors throughout the country from the limestone and other rocks were incredible. Also notable, the very well done and sobering Srebrenica memorial museum and cemetery, a definite must-visit along with the numerous "Sarajevo Roses" throughout the city, awful reminders of the terrible war in the 90s. One tip: Try to mostly drive in the day time, if you can, because the roads in Bosnia are often very narrow, winding, and sometimes rough and irregularly patched

My Montenegro vacation was just perfect! I did miss out on the initial hotels I had liked but the substitute ones were good too and I enjoyed all the 3 base towns and the stays and of course the driver and car at disposal was a blessing without having to worrying about anything. Even for supermarkets or dinners I was able to easily commute without having to worry about local transport. Perfect balance of mountains , old towns and the beaches of course. Thank you to all who helped me plan this and live this vacation. Violaine and Ivan and everyone.

Laurent set up the most incredible trip for us! All of the accommodations he booked were top tier. He put together a trip that was truly tailored to our interests and what we wanted to do, all while staying within budget and still providing luxury experiences. We loved the private tours that were set up for us to learn about history and cultures of the towns we were in. We also had the best time at our glamping experience in Lake Bled. Truly the best trip!
