Croatia

Apr 19 - Apr 25, 2026
We had a wonderful trip in Croatia, starting in Split, then Hvar, Mljet, and Dubrovnik. The hotels were all lovely and the guided tours had just the right balance of education, fun and duration. Whenever we had a problem the group chat established by the KimKim team allowed for very quick and easy responses. I forgot a bag in Hvar and it was placed on the next ferry for pick up in Dubrovnik. Although the KimKim team had nothing to do with food, the Croatian food was amazing - always fresh and tasty. I would definitely go to Croatia again and I would definitely book with the KimKim team for Croatia or any other of their amazing destinations.
Hotel Reviews
The room was nice, the breakfasts were good, but the staff was inept. They couldn't find our reservation, and service at breakfast was dodgy. But the location was great.
A sterile apartment. It was fine as a launching place to explore Mljet, but no charm.
Very nice hotel and staff. Very good breakfasts. Good location but know that its 1.3 miles from the old town. But also a good location for less touristy restaurants.
Activity Reviews
Wonderful activity. Our guide, Josip (spelling?) was knowledgeable and fun. The hike was easy and mostly downhill...perhaps too easy for those of us who want a bit more exercise before lunch. He knew everything about local plants, history, and life on the island. Highly recommended. And the lunch was one of the highlights of our trip. They prepared Octopus in a Peka that slow cooks the food for 2 hours. It was the best octopus I've ever had and the restaurant was in a delightful, charming setting. The family that owned the restaurant were wonderful.
Tour guide Jenna tried hard to give us an overview of the old town and its history.
We opted out of the Elaphite islands and went to Lokrum (closer island) instead. We loved Lokrum - it is a great way to spend half-day hiking and swimming. Simon our skipper was wonderful.
