Amazing family trip to Croatia thanks to Nikola
Croatia
|
May 19 - May 27, 2023
This was our first experience using Kimkim to support our family trip to Croatia. We did not know what to expect and where a bit nervous at the beginning. Nikola arranged for a phone call and right away we were feeling more at ease. He was listening to our concerns and answered all our question. Then, he provided us with an itinerary and we could discuss and adapt things as needed.
At arrival, the 10 days went super smoothly. We were super well taken care by all the people (guides, hotel staff, car and boat drivers) that took us on the different activities. Everything was on time, no delays and no stress. The guides were engaged and included each member of the family. I particularly enjoyed the personality of the guide in Korcula and Hvar. Our boat guide in Split (Toma) made me feel safe on the agitated sea the day we explored the Blue lagoon.
I also appreciated the daily check-in from Nikola and having the prep information for the following day.
All in all a great experience with lots of variety in the activities proposed by Nikola. We would highly recommend it.
Hotel Reviews
Delicious breakfasts. Staff friendly and professional. Amazing view from our room. They were very welcoming and able to help us with our needs.
Friendly staff. Room with a view was nice, however our children’s room did not have a view which made it less special, but still comfortable.
This was the smallest room of our trip, but super well located, right in the old town. Marin and is twin brother were very kind hotel staff. Breakfasts were yummy.
We had the apparement with two bedrooms and laundry facility, which was timely during our travel. The apartment is gorgeous right in the palace, with view of the cathedral. Magnificent.
Activity Reviews
Ivana was great. She was engaged and our personalities totally fit with the four of us (history and culture interested crowd). She gave us extra time.
This was one of my favorite. Loved the experience of being out of the city, meeting this wonderful family business. The scenery was beautiful (garden, house) and the food we made a fun family activity as well as delicious.
Thé lumbarda region is beautiful. Our guide Paco drove us to different wineries where we learn about the region’s grapes. The first winery was more interesting to us than the second. We had a typical konoba dinner with tons of fish in a family run place. Paco offered great information and “joie de vivre” vibes.
Great experience. Our guide Jelena was fantastic. She knew a lot and was super friendly. She was a great match with our family, super relax and knowledgeable. We saw and did quite a bit in this experience (unesco site, wine tasting, visited two towns and had a Peka dinner experience.
Interesting tour of the basement of the Diocletian palace.
Toma our boat driver was great. A bit shy at first but he warmed up throughout the day. The water was a bit agitated and he made me feel safe. The blue lagoon was spectacular and we had a great swim there. Magical water. We stopped on a small island for a drink and a lunch on the other side of the island. Fun feeling to board right at the restaurant. Great fish meal to enjoy sitting right on the water side. Finished the day with one other swim in a small bay where we could enjoyed a Mojito made right there by a guy on a small boat going from boat to boat offering his drinks. Fun experience all along.
Hi Marie,
Thank you for your kind words and for trusting me with your summer plans in Croatia!
It makes me happy knowing that you had a great time and that you had so much fun on the Blue Lagoon boat tour! Helping you create new memories in my country was a privilege and working with you was such a pleasure.
Hoping to hear from you if the road brings you to Croatia again, hopefully to Zagreb!
Wishing you and your family all the best,
Nikola
