This is our second trip that KimKim has planned for us and both were perfect! We will be using them again!!
Ivan listened to what we had in mind for our trip and was very accommodating if and when we would make any changes. Ivan made it easy to communicate with him as well as with our guides so we felt at ease. Our accommodations were just what we asked for plus! And all of our tours and guides were kind, knowledgeable about their country, and willing to go beyond just taking us from point A to point B. I can’t remember all of their names but Ivo who took us to Ston, Tonko who took us on the all day boat trip to the Blue caves, and Marco who took us on our hike (and brought walking sticks and water just in case :) ) in the hillside were all great! And so was our guide who drove us to Krka National Park and to a wonderful lunch-I don’t remember his name.
My only suggestion for your future guests would be to mention that there are a lot of steps in Croatia!!! We loved every minute of it and were happy we were in good shape so we could see it all. It was all very doable.
I’m sure we will be recommending KimKim and Ivan to many people going forward. Thank you!!
Hotel Reviews
A beautiful boutique hotel with gorgeous views, kind staff, and a wonderful restaurant with a view. I wish we had more time in Dubrovnik to relax at one of the pool areas- so quiet and inviting!
The rooms are a little small but the hotel was a heritage hotel so we expected that. There was no view from our room but we were not in our room much anyway. The rooms were well kept and had everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious. The staff were very kind and helpful. AND they are strong from lugging luggage for old people up all the steps!! We were very grateful!
Beautiful hotel with very comfortable rooms. We did not have a view but it was in a perfect location in the middle of the old town for walking everywhere. They did help us with luggage when we arrived at the pier and when we were leaving. Cars are not allowed inside town so we had to walk a short, flat distance to meet our ride to the airport. Breakfast was good.
Activity Reviews
Our guide was excellent- I think her name is Ina but I’m not sure. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Croatia and Dubrovnik and was able to answer all of our questions. We were also interested in learning about Dubrovnik’s Jewish population annd history in Dubrovnik and she knew a lot about that as well - very interesting! Thank you!
One of the best experiences of our trip! Our guide, Ivo, was outstanding. On the drive to Ston, he offered so much information on the history of Croatia. Then we made a short stop in town before heading over to the oyster farm for our private boat to the farm and oyster tasting. The oyster fisherman explained the whole process and then we ate oysters right out of the sea-I’ve never had anything so fresh and delicious! Then to an amazing meal where you pick your own fish and everything was prepared to perfection at Bota Restorani. Then on to Milo’s winery where we had excellent wines - what a day!
Marco provided a beautiful hike through the hills through old villages and beautiful terrain. He had so much knowledge of everything growing around us - we couldn’t believe the diversity of herbs and trees. We ate at a restaurant in one of the old villages and had a traditional Peka meal - outstanding! We were so thankful for all of his knowledge and for the walking sticks he provided!! The hike was not hard but it was nice to have that extra reassurance in the few parts with gravel going a little uphill or down :) Younger people or experienced hikers would do just fine without them.
Another amazing day! The blue caves were worth the bumpy ride and the additional stop for lunch along the way in a quiet town was great too! Our guide, Tonko, was awesome! He is an excellent skipper-he did the best he could to avoid the trip being too bumpy considering the windy weather. We had a beautiful day!
