They include the private oyster and mussels lunch and many other meals - especially seafood, such as Puntulina and a restaurant on the island of Vis; there were trips to caves and castles; fascinating little hotels in the old towns of historic cities; and much more. We highly reccomend Marija to anyone who wishes to enjoy the wonders and joys of this region of the world.

Tina did a great job first collecting what memories and experiences would make up the ideal vacation for my husband and I. She helped us plan a curated agenda across different cities in Croatia and also Montenegro.

The itinerary was a combination of fan favorites like Diocletian's Palace in Split, the new-ish cable car in Kotor, and old town Dubrovnik walking tours. During high season she made personalized transfers (drivers and even a customized high-speed boat ride where we were the only ones in charge!). These transfers offered really nice downtime for us, a welcome break from navigating the busy streets and overcrowded attractions. Plus they were SEAMLESS - I didn't have any difficulties finding the people and getting transported to the next place. Overall we went to Zagreb, Plitvice Lakes/Split, Korcula, Kotor (Montenegro), and Dubrovnik over 2 weeks. The pacing was great, we didn't feel rushed and got a sense of each location before moving on. We also didn't feel like we wasted a ton of time just getting from place to place - there was plenty of downtime to just let things happen.

Swimming around the Peljesac peninsula the morning of our journey from Split to the island Korcula was a top experience for me - it was so quiet and our guide, Dino, was very open about sharing his experience growing up in a family of olive growers/olive oil producers. Our walking tour guide, Albert, in Dubrovnik did the best job explaining the complexities of living in Croatia, the politics of relatively new countries, and the impact of tourism. All of the hotels selected were boutique in nature and had great amenities - my favorite was the Villa Filaus in Dubrovnik, though! Great location and such character plus the woman running the boutique hotel, Anita, was a DELIGHT to welcome us.

Tina, thank you for planning a wonderful trip! Supremely enjoyable, relaxing, and informative this trip was indulgent and we will remember it for a long, long time! You really thought of EVERYTHING. You curated the best people to help us along our way - so courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful!

Villa Filaus

A beautiful villa (and hopefully you get a balcony) plopped right in the middle of a great location, easy walking distance to the beach via the promenade full of casual restaurants. I loved the hotel manager, Anita, who warmly greeted us and showed us where to go with a prepared map. She is so sweet and kind - you can tell she loves her job! This place has big rooms, good air conditioning, and is quiet given there are only a few units. The small pool and loungers are all you need for sunbathing and reading a good book outside. The espresso machines (with bottomless pods) were a nice way to start each day, too!

She had developed deep relationships with each of the business owners at the honey shop, Bire winery, and the homestead. The best was these places were not SALESY at all. Sometimes as a tourist you just want a little space to enjoy the experience and the moment. I could tell Rachael, our guide, has a genuine appreciation for the culture of the place especially as an expat.

He made everything very easy for us, so we could just enjoy our vacation and not worry about the planning process. 5+ Stars!

My only suggestion for the KimKim site is to have a specific place in each trip plan specifically for accessing saved documents, specifically vouchers (as this seems to be the preferred way of having a receipt to show for an item that has been paid for - like park entry tickets, etc.). They can be difficult to find when trying to dig through the chat history.

Also KimKim prompts you to make edits/suggestions on each day individually, but then they are all combined into one long chat with no delineation by day, again making it hard to find comments that relate to a specific day.

Villa Filaus

When we first looked at where this hotel was situated in relation to everything we wanted to do in Dubrovnik, we were a bit concerned. It is quite far from the old town. However, it is near a bunch of restaurants and a very nice beach, and quite close to the bus line that takes you to the old town. It was also close to a nearby grocery store with a wnderful little bakery inside. We had many early starts, so couldn't have the breakfast included with the room, but that didn't matter to us at all, as the bakery was soo good. The busses run very regularly (every 10 mins or so) and are easy to navigate. The building and the rooms were wonderful, and the lady at the front desk was absolutely fantastic.

The location of this hotel was the best thing going for it, and the room was quite spacious. The building it was in had a lot of character and old-world charm. That's about all I can say that is positive about it. When we arrived there was no one there to let us in and the outside door was locked, so we had to sit on the stoop and contact out travel specialist, who had to contact the owner. The included breakfast was a smattering of things that had obviously sat out for several days and was all stale. The few things that were fresh (some croissants), we felt like we couldn't eat much of, as it didn't seem like there was enough for the guests in the building. Also, we could hear the kids tromping around on the floor above ours.
