We had a fantastic time! The sites/adventures Marjia coordinated for us to see were perfect, starting with the pick up at the airport after a long flight and taken to the hotel. Jo was such a fun, personable and knowledgeable guide for our private walking tour. Best start to the vacation! The car rental drop off at the hotel for our plitvice day and then truffle hunting made that so easy. Thanks to Marjia for getting tickets and having Daniela waiting for us. Plitvice was so beautiful and truffle hunting and sampling with Daniela an unexpected highlight!!!
Dino with Absolute charter was so good!! He called ahead for times/ticket info to Blue caves then restaurant and lunch later in the day. Snorkeling in a quiet bay he suggested was so fun. Split was beautiful , castle tour was great and so fun to wander through. Dinko was a wealth of knowledge as he drove us through crazy, winding mountain roads to Dubrovnik, with a short stop at salt mines. Interesting! Hotel on the mountain side and view of the sea were breathtaking. Guided tour of Old Town with Jelena was a blast! Marjia, thank you for setting this up, checking in on us during our stay and getting us to/from everywhere! We will definitely use KimKim travel again.

A bit hard to find correct entrance because castle is so big but the guide called us and waited while we found our way.

Dear, dear Jan,

You are truly a delight – it’s so easy to be helpful when working with such wonderful people!

Thank you for everything. I genuinely hope that someday, somehow, I’ll have the chance to meet you all in person.

Wishing you all the very best!

Warmest regards,
Marija
