What a beautiful country, with spectacular biking and hiking. Never a dull moment, and after working up an appetite, the food was amazing. Robi and KimKim helped us put together a perfect itinerary for our needs. The hiking in the national parks was gorgeous (Plitvice, Paklenica). But the biking on the coast (Hvar, Korcula, Ston) was the real highlight of our trip. The e-bikes were very high quality and very much appreciated. Coming around a mountain bend to be rewarded with stunning views of the Adriatic was a sight we'll never forget. Robi was there for us every step of the way. He worked with us to plan a year in advance and then was in touch with us every step of the way. When we had small issues, he worked tirelessly to make them right. We were absolutely exhausted when we arrived in Croatia, but found out we could not check into tour hotel for many hours, so Robi got us into another hotel at the last minute. When I left my passport on one of the islands - yikes - Robi and Daniela worked to get it to me the next day! Life savers. He even came to meet us for one night and brought us lovely gifts from his family. He absolutely went above and beyond to make this a nearly perfect trip. And, our local guide, Borna, was truly a gem. His positive energy, attention to detail and sense of humor made our biking portion a dream. With one exception, all of our accomodations were lovely and comfortable and had fabulous breakfasts! Thank you Borna and Robi for a wonderful trip. We will absolutely use KimKim for future trips.
The only black mark on our trip was that we rented a car and got a small dent on the bumper when we were parking in a rough area, and Kim Kim let us know that the rental agency was charging us $1600 to fix the bumper! Since they are in Croatia and we are in the US there is no way for us to determine if they are ripping us off or not. We did not add the rental car insurance they offered because we have rental car coverage on our credit card. But we did not know - and Kim Kim's representative did not tell us - that they did not use our credit card to rent the card - Kim Kim paid for the car. They only used our card for a deposit. So, now our credit card is refusing to pay for the damages and we are out of pocket for the full $1600 :( :(:( So, be sure if you rent a car on your trip that you ask Kim Kim to use your credit card to pay for it or pay the additional insurance amount when you get the car. I wish Kim Kim had told us this up front, and wish they'd tried to work with the rental car agency to settle this for a more reasonable amount :(
Activity Reviews
Very pretty place, but the water levels were so low that the falls weren't really falling :( Check the water levels before going.
So beautiful!
This was the only miss on the trip. The people running this place were in over their heads. They combined experienced kayakers with completely inexperienced kayakers and they only had 2 guides for a large group of people, so we ended up doing more waiting around then kayaking. For the few times we did get to kayak, it was fun.
Beautiful!
