Kimkim Trip Reviews for Croatia

My son and I had the most amazing trip to Croatia and it was all because of the incredible planning that Veselka provided. Absolutely everything (hotels, experiences, tours and transportation) was perfect. She checked in with us regularly to ensure everything was going according to plan and she even adjusted when our flight was cancelled and we needed to change our arrival location. I simply cannot recommend Veselka enough. She exceeded all of our expectations!

We had an absolute amazing experience with KimKim and enjoyed our trip thoroughly in Croatia. Josipa especially was extremely helpful, and checked in on every little details. Will definitely recommend KimKim to others.

We had a fantastic trip to Croatia. I wish we were there right now. Thank you Robi for planning all the places we wanted to go and adding more places that we didn’t even know we wanted to visit. We enjoyed everywhere we went. Robi helped us quickly plan two days of boating. We loved boating around Hvar and around Dubrovnik! The captains knew really neat places to swim, snorkel, and eat. Robi also found us and delivered all the tickets we needed. I don’t know if we had a favorite place, but the two national parks were amazing. The food was great everywhere we went. Thank you Goran for the tour of Peljesac!

My husband and I had SUCH a great time in Croatia and a wonderful experience with our specialist, Robert! He accommodated our requests every step of the way, adjusting our plan several times to reflect our preferences, and we ended up with an itinerary full of hiking in beautiful places, gorgeous beaches and incredible cities full of history. Robert also met with us in person in our arrival city and went over all aspects of the itinerary on the first day, a really nice personal touch! Some of the highlights for us were the incredible tour guides Robert connected us to in both Split and Dubrovnik, hiking in Plitvice Lakes National Park, and wine tasting on the Peljesac Peninsula. Best of all, everything was so EASY- every time we had a question, from where to eat in each place to what do if there was bad weather, we were able to communicate with Robert on WhatsApp and get the answers we needed really quickly. Overall, it was a fantastic and stress-free trip. Thanks so much Robert & kimkim!

We are now home from the most amazing trip to Croatia! Our sincere thanks to Ivana and Jelena for planning the perfect trip for our family.The task they had was not an easy one, having to consider all of our interests and varying ages and energy levels. The communication during planning was so easy with them responding quickly via email. They came up with an itinerary that was flawless and combined plenty of land and water activities. So delighted you helped rework the program to include two days on the boats so we could experience smaller islands and swim in the sea! ALL of the tour guides (Maris, Anna, Dom), drivers (Steve), hotels, restaurants were top notch. Everyone was where they were supposed to be when they were promised making the trip so effortless. We especially like the special trips planned such as the day with Mario and his family and their winery! What an experience ! Going to the fish/butcher/fresh markets with Tatiana and listening to music while we each worked at preparing the delicious meal with her! Love her and her husband and their lovely home!! Ivana, thanks for arranging the birthday cake with Stuart! You two were very sneaky!!! While I chickened out of the canyoning trip (and glad I did) the rest of the family said it was outstanding in every way. I also want to thank Ivana for being available to us while we on the trip to update us and answer any question. We already miss Croatia! My highest recommendations to your outstanding company!

We had a wonderful trip to Croatia. Robi did a great job of showing us the real Croatia. It was beautiful from the north to the south. We had seven people ranging in age from 10 to 68, and Robi was flexible and accommodating, which allowed us to better enjoy the experience.

An enjoyable experience despite the heat. We cycled through some lovely countryside and John made sure that the pace suited everyone. He also coped magnificently with two punctures en route. The wine tastings lived up to expectations.

My husband & I had a wonderful experience using Kimkim! Our specialist Marina was amazing, and SO on top of every detail.
We had recently (after using a few “travel agents” of the past) been planning our own trips, feeling it was the only & best way to truly experience things the way we want. But we were low on time with the planning of this trip ( it takes a LOT, especially in a country where the language is not yours & you’re having to rely on the advice/reviews of people whose style of traveling may not be the same).
Marina was super knowledgeable about Croatia, the place she lives, and helped with every concern we had, and more. Besides that, she was kind, professional, thorough & friendly. We could contact her at anytime, with any concern.....just a text or a call away. She kept us apprised at all times of the who, what where & when at each of our accommodations, which were hand picked for us (with our approval), & totally customized so that it matched our vibe & expectations.
Can’t say enough about this company, their concept, the people they choose to work with (like Marina, now considered our friend <3), AND the people whose accommodations they’ve recommended! Everyone involved was great! Thank you kimkim, and thank you Marina, for making our trip to Croatia so memorable & worry free! We will definitely use this company again & recommend them to anyone needing help with their travel plans!

Marina helped us create a memorable journey through Croatia starting at Split, to Hvar then up to Zadar by car, to Plitvice Lakes, onward through Istria to Rovinj and Pula.
The apartments Marina booked for us were just right for our trip, within walking distances of what we wanted to see and perfect for the way we travel, with a kitchen to prepare snacks and meals. Our landlords were all very nice. We recommend them all to other travelers.
The ferry rides and the car rental worked perfectly. We got to see much more of the non-touristy areas when we were driving north and even detour to a winery we wanted to visit.
Marina stayed in contact with us all along the way making sure we were happy. We even met her in her home town of Tragir, spent some time getting to know each other. It gave us a chance to thank her personally for all the work she did. She brought gifts for us as well! We felt like we made a long time friend.

We were very pleased with the service we received from Kimkim and their travel partner AndAdventure. Our questions and requests were answered promptly and professionally.
I would highly recommend Kimkim to anyone looking for a travel adventure.

Our trip sailing the islands of Dalmatia was awesome! Veselka took care to respond to all of our requests on details. The master stroke was Dubravko--the owner of the 43 foot sailboat that we made home for 5 nights. He treated us as family. We loved hearing the stories and history of Vis, Brac and Hvar. He continuously showed us the places to see "off the beaten path" as well as letting us see the well-known places. Loved Stari Grad--they were having an evening of traditional dance and song for Hvar. He made sure we had front row seats. We had a great time on the water and onshore. I can't imagine a better captain. We really loved everything about the experience.

This was an amazing trip. Our itinerary was great with enough time to really get a feel for each place. Our lodgings were great, and all were located close to all major attractions. We spent time in Dubrovnik, Hvar, Split, Zadar, Plitvice Lakes, and Zagreb. All were great. Our personalized tours in Split with Nives and in Zagreb with Vlatka were fantastic and really informative. Our lodging in Hvar was especially great. Our host, Mila, was so welcoming. She invited us in to her kitchen with her and her friends and we shared wine and food and wonderful conversation. Our wine and dinner tour in Hvar was great with a great dinner in an abandoned village above Hvar town, Malo Grablje. What a neat experience strolling through the ruins up to restaurant with great service and great scenery. Though crowded, the national parks we visited (Krka and Plitvice) were beautiful, and I highly recommend them. Veselka planned our trip wonderfully. She was responsive to our questions and concerns. She personally met at us the ferry port in Split to take us to our lodging. There was one minor glitch in trip requiring us to rush to cabs to get to a ferry. Veselka responded rapidly and resolved the issue. When we arrived at our ferry destination three hours later our greeter presented us with an envelop of cash to reimburse our cab fare. I could not have asked for a better vacation and a better planner than Veselka. I highly recommend her and her company. Anyone uncertain about visiting Croatia should get over it. It is a beautiful country with wonderful people, incredible history, great roads, and great food!

I recently had a 10 day adventure w a culinary flair trip in Croatia w 1 day in Bled, Slovenia. Our guide, Robert (Robi) Pincevic was awesome. I gave him a list of activities I wanted to do, ( hiking, biking, kayaking) , places I had to see like Plitvice NP and walk the walls in Dubrovnik. He sent a sample itenerary that seemed to have read my mind. A couple tweaks and the trip was a go. We( group of 4) started in Dubrovnik and ended in Zagreb. Lodging was mostly family run B and B's. 1st place waterfront outside of Dubrovnik w a kayak for early morning paddles and nice trail along the water. Ston wasn't on my list but was suggested by Robi and indeed it is not to be missed. We stayed right in town w the walls in site, the family run Inn even wash our clothes while we went to Mljet NP. Another place not to be missed. After taking the car ferry to the island it was biking, swimming in a seclude cove. Plitvice NP is the reason I planned my trip to Croatia. I wasn't disappointed, we stayed at a local B and B just outside the park do we could beat the crowds, the host Velinka showed us around then asked if we want a rakia tasting. Of course! Good sleep that nite! Then at breakfast, packed us up the leftover homemade bread for our lunch. Not prearranged but inquired about a day on the water, sailing of motorboat. Robi made a few calls and it happened. We went to kolocep in a private boat instead of being on the ferrys schedule, had grilled calamari a specialty of the island. Then was able to go snorkeling in the caves! Nice touch. It was so nice having a private guide/driver who knew the area, didn't need mapquest once. Also seemed to know somebody in every town and was excited to tell us about the areas history. I have been on 5 guided trips and when I get back home I always say that I could have done that trip myself...but not this trip. Robi made the difference, we were able to see and experience so much more than had we been driving ourselves or w a tour bus. One more special touch we had lunch prepared by a local family in their home one day. Oh so good!
Trip was early June, 2019. Weather perfect for everything including swimming in the Adriac sea. Word of advice pack a beach towel there were so many opportunities for quick dips.

To begin Veselka Huljic was excellent to help us plan our vacation to Croatia. She was also available,
supportive and quick to assist us with minor problems. Dubrovnik was great. Hear was wonderful!
Mila Krcevinac was outstanding and made us feel like her family treating us to wine and food and discussions. Her accommodations were super and we didn't want to leave. In Split, the owner of our apartments was a great historian and taught us about his country. Sorry I have forgotten his name.
Our city tour guide was Nives and she was superb, very bright and very funny. Radar was fun and we enjoyed the city. Plitvice Lake National Park was beautiful. Our stay at Etno Gardens was delightful. Tim was absolutely amazing and very energetic. We had three meals there each of which were very good. Our final tour was in Zagreb. Viatka was so knowledgeable and interesting and showed her city with great pride. Our rental van was perfect and our entire trip was perfect. Thanks so much to Kimkim and Veselka for your organization. We loved our trip!

Croatia is a beautiful country of rocky mountains, clear waters and blue lakes. It was our first time visiting Croatia and we really enjoyed our time spent exploring the coast between Dubrovnik and Split.

Booking through KimKim was an easy platform. Robi and his team put together an itinerary that was a perfect way to explore the Croatian coast, including a good mix of islands and historical towns. We were never too busy and had time to explore on our own.

Goran, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He liked a joke - especially trying to teach us Croatian words! Though our itinerary was planned, Goran was happy to make changes to accommodate our holiday style. His insider knowledge meant we ate at some delicious family restaurants.

Our accommodation was great - a mixture of apartments and hotels, which suited us perfectly. Our hosts were friendly, and our rooms were clean and spacious.

We really enjoyed our trip to Croatian and would highly recommend touring with Robi and Goran.

We had an amazing holiday and a lot of the credit should go to Robi, who was amazingly attentive both in London when we were planning the holiday and also in Croatia. He planned the trip extremely well for us and explained everything we needed to know, provided the best guidance and support but was never pushy. Communication was perfect and all Robi's recommendations were spot on.
We had such a good time, I have no hesitation in giving 5 star praise.

We had such a great experience with our trip and Robert did an amazing job of organizing everything. Valenka at sixteen lakes hotel at Plitvice national park was an outstanding host and prepared an amazing breakfast and made us feel so welcome - she was fantastic. We will definitely use Kimkim again for our travel needs: thank you!

Marsa was fantastic and had great suggestions for us to maximize our time in Croatia. She really gave us personalized service and went the extra mile for us when we had an unfortunate situation . I highly recommend her for those planning to visit Croatia

Our driver Mladen was great! Very professional and extremely accommodating! It often felt like a family member was showing us the country. Highly recommend!

Our week long trip to Croatia was planned out by our new Croatian friend Veselka. We had conveyed our interests in climbing, canyoning and outdoor fun to her. We had such a fabulous adventure. Veselka helped us dance through and around the rain/wind when our schedule needed to be amended and provided she also provided us with the best restaurant recommendations. Her personal touch to our itinerary was spot on. All of our drivers and tour guides were as pleasant and informative as could be as we traveled the Dalmation Coast and visiting the National Parks. Our itinerary included canyoning down the Cetina River, visiting Paklencia and Krka National Parks, sea kayaking in Hvar, staying in and seeing Split and then ferrying down to Dubrovnik for a marvelous Game of Thrones tour. We stayed in touch with Vese daily as she was just such a wonderful person to work with and get to know. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thanks Vese - Steve and Sherri
