Royal Croatian Tours

We had an amazing trip to Croatia! The food and the people were incredible!

We really enjoyed our trip to Croatia. Has been on our list for a long time and KimKim helped make sure it did not disappoint. The trip was well planned and the logistics made it easy. virtually all the local guides were fantastic and had lots of knowledge to share. Great driver and transport throughout. Ivan was the key to making it all happen. Would recommend him and KimKim and we believe we got great value for our spend.

We loved Rovinj, Plitvice lakes but really loved everything. Food tour in Zagreb was great, Boat ride to Hvar and swimming in Brac were great. Everything was great and the weather cooperated.

Hotel Reviews

The Melegran

Rovinj

This hotel was our only disappointment in a wonderful trip. When we checked in, we were shown to the annex in the back through a dark alley, we climbed the first set of stairs and then another steep set of stairs and arrived in a room that was only big enough for a bed. When we needed to walk down the stairs, there was no motion light or switch so the first part of our descent was in darkness. The staff was friendly, we loved Rovinj but our stay could have been a disaster.

We walked to start hunt and walked so I can’t evaluate transport. There was an option to ride but we walked.

A shout out to Ivan our driver who is a superstar. Tour guides at all stops wonderful. Just a bit could be better at Lake Bled guide.

The trip was awesome! Thank you for an amazing time in Croatia.

Overall drivers and guide were great.

Our trip overall was great. Our guide on Hvar was a bit vague on the geography and history of the island.

On the other hand in Zagreb was amazing.

Ms. Broj Iskaznice provided the best full day tour we have ever had. She was extremely knowledgeable , well organized and flexible about accommodating our needs. You should use here for all of your guests.

Thank you Ivan,
Randall Grosberg

In a word... Magical. Croatia is simply stunning... the landscape, the seascape, the people, the history and the food create a location that is a bucket-list must. We had never been there, so the thought of doing all the research and putting together a trip was daunting. That's where Sarah and Ivan come in. The developed a perfect itinerary, covered all the details and lined us up with guides, drivers and lodging that never missed. When bad weather caused one outing to be cancelled, a quick text to them resulted in a new outing within 20 minutes that turned out to be one of the great memories of our trip. Having them tracking with us during the whole time made this a zero-stress trip of a lifetime!

Good day. The whole trip was a success and really wonderful. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and courteous and professional. Our bike and kayak hosts were great. Shared homemade wine and treats and were also knowledgeable in history! Our boat crew mates for the island hop were delightful and lots of knowledge as well. Everyone was great to us even the taxi guys. It was a great trip.

Ivan did a fantastic job of listening to me and selecting activities that were fun and exciting. The drivers were professional, safe, operated clean vehicles, knowledgeable and always prompt. The tour guides (biking, kayaking, winery, guided walks) were very accommodating, service oriented, knowledgeable and comfortable to be with. The extras provided were always a nice surprise. The breakfasts in each hotel was delicious and had a huge selection to choose from. My first complaint is that the hotel in Korcula was a little warm and a little uncomfortable to sleep. I also heard another man complaining about this at the front desk. I also believe the towels were older and need to be replaced. I plan to look at a trip to Thailand for 8 people in November 2027 and hope to have the same great service that Ivan provided.
