Kimkim Trip Reviews for Croatia

Robi planned a spectacular trip for us that exceeded expectations. Every day was different and highlighted the best experiences in all different regions of Croatia. He contacted us every evening with the details of the next days plans and checked in every day to confirm that we were enjoying or answer any questions. He was incredibly helpful and responsive. The krka and Plitvice national parks were incredible. We loved the rafting trip down the Cetina. Traveling by ferry to the islands really broke up the trip and slowed it down to have time to relax on Hvar and korcula.

Bike riding through the vineyards was fantastic. Then visiting and hiking Ston was spectacular.

Nikola was fantastic to work with in planning my trip. He considered my preferences, made appropriate suggestions to maximize our family's time in Croatia and adjusted the final travel plan as needed to meet my budget. He was an absolute pleasure! As was our personable, helpful, and always on time driver, Peter. Thank you both!!

We had a great trip along the coast of Croatia! Nikola was amazing at communicating and understanding our needs. The hotels we stayed at were fantastic and all recommendations for optional activates and restaurants were much appreciated. The timing of our days were also great. We truly enjoyed our time!

Our trip to Croatia was surely memorable. Because of the extreme heat, we got to experience a full-Balkan blackout, along with a forest fire being doused by our Canadian Water bombers. Fortunately, all was dealt with efficiently and effectively. The hotel selections were all very lovely and conveniently located., although the late night partiers were a bit of a problem in Split. Our walking guides were very knowledgeable but could have been a bit more enthusiastic. We particularly enjoyed our bike ride and guide in Hvar with a surprise bonus wine-tasting at the end. Sarah was very responsive and quick to answer questions when anything arose.

All the guides especially Ivana. Guide to village tour superb. Antonia in boat tours was very helpful and fantastic. I would have preferred to had a boat with cover. Slightly bigger boat. Becos of sun. Especially as it was a full day tour. Otherwise all went well. Thank u all

Robi helped us plan one of the best Europe trips for our family. We chose to do a completely self-guided tour, but Robi gave us a huge leg up – he helped us book hotels, car rentals, choose restaurants, and recommend places to go. He is very experienced and flexible - you essentially get full reign in how you want to spend time in Croatia. During the trip, he was easily reachable and very responsive through WhatsApp. I would 100% recommend working with Robi when planning a trip to Croatia, he is an absolute pleasure to work with!

First time using an online travel agent and we were pleasantly surprised at the ease of booking the activities and accommodations. We were also very impressed by the attentiveness of our agent, Sarah. She went above and beyond communicating with us during our trip to ensure that our needs were met. The activities and tours were exceptional. We especially loved the private boat tour to the islands of Hvar, and the surrounding islands. Our guide went above and beyond for us. The private biking tour with Mislav was a blast! He ensured we had fun taking in the sights while learning about Dubrovnik's rich culture and history.

Our trip to Croatia completely exceeded our expectations! Everything was so well-planned out by Robi, with lots of unexpected surprises!
Robi was extremely thoughtful and definitely listened to all of our requests for our dream vacation - including amazing bike rides, kayaking, national parks and an incredible hike!
We loved all of the history combined with fun outdoor recreation, incredible beaches, spectacular scenery, wineries, lovely accommodations and amazing food!
We totally enjoyed our tour of the Wall in Dubrovnik with Marco on the first day - he did a wonderful job of combining the history of the city with personal stories.
I can't say enough about our main guide, Goran - he was the best! He took such great care of us and was extremely patient with us. He made sure we never got lost while biking and was always there at every intersection making sure we headed in the right direction!
We totally enjoyed spending time with him and absolutely loved the day he took us hiking on Mljet! That was really special. The scenery was spectacular, and we thoroughly loved our fresh fish lunch on the island!
We loved everywhere we stayed from an apartment in Dubrovnik very close to the Walled City to a family run "palace" in Ston!
Our last night, Robi surprised us with an incredible stay at a fantastic hotel with beautiful views, a spectacular beach, and amazing service,
I could go on and on...every day of our vacation we said was "another top 10 day!" Every day in Croatia was our favorite day!
Thank you so much for an incredible experience and so many fun memories!

It is impossible to answer what were our most memorable places, activities or people we interacted with on our trip. Why? Because in 18 days we traveled to three countries (Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro). Ten cities/towns/areas in Croatia, two in Bosnia & Herzegovina and one in Montenegro. Every day, every place, every experience from drivers to tours & guides, to hotels & personnel, to restaurants & staff, and everyone and thing in between was amazing. The people of these places in Eastern Europe are so genuine and real it absolutely warms your heart and makes you want to embrace them in every way you can. Working with Antonia in planning our sojourn to Sara, who watched over us every day, was a perfect experience. This was not just a trip or vacation; it was an enlightened education and life experience.

Wonderful experience! This is our first time using a travel agency and it was very beneficial to have someone knowledgeable guide our planning, especially in countries we've never been to. We had experiences like day-long private car tours and sea kayaking trips that we otherwise wouldn't have found ourselves. It was also helpful since we were planning a wedding at the same time so not having to book everything for our honeymoon was invaluable.

Tina was very responsive to our requests and made multiple changes to the itinerary based on our preferences. She was also accessible via WhatsApp during our trip when any minor hiccups arose. We were happy working with her and happy with the amazing trip she planned.

Dear Kimkim,

I cannot express how aboslutely fabulous our recent Croatia travel adventure was due to the diligance of our local specialist Robi . Robi is the most responsive travel rep I have ever worked with. He managed to deliver on our extensive list of wishes including, trasnfers, ferries, 4 days of biking (at the appropriate level for 5- 60 year old weekend warriors) kayaking, hiking, beautiful restaurant recommendations and most importantly our surprise guide, Goran Pincevic. Goran filled our biking/hiking days with historical stories, hidden nooks, local wineries and family restaurants. Both Robi and Goran truly worked tirelessly on our behalf to ensure a seamless, effortless adventure for me and my friends. All the accomodations he chose had a great location, very comfortable beds with air conditioned rooms and terrific breakfasts! I will be recommending Robi to ALL my friends that have interest in traveling to Croatia in the future, and by associatioin I will continue to look to Kimkim for future travel experiences.

Robi and his guide Gordin were outstanding. Incredibly responsiveness and aware of what we were interested in. Both added a personal touch. Will highly recommend them to friends and family. Croatia definitely a top destination that I have ever visited.

Ivo from Zagreb to Split took us to a wonderful restaurant to eat meats under the bell after the excellent visit to the blue lagoons and waterfalls of split national park.
@Split ivana was wonderful. The hotel well located.

@ Hvar The hotel Adriana was very well located with beautiful view and short walk from ferry port. Thea was very energetic!
Grgo @Hvar was amazing 🤩 . The wine tasting at the family cave the best, followed by over the top lunch at a country restaurant!

@ Korcula the apart hotel location was too far from the historic sites even though view was amazing and laundry available. Breakfast was good but inconveniently far.
Neda was very effective and the water taxi hop on / hop off should be included in all itineraries.

Robi went the extra mile! Thanks for an amazing trip Robi!

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience with KimKim Traveler, which failed to meet even the most basic expectations for a private guided tour service. Here's a detailed account of the issues I faced:
1. Lack of Private Tour Service: I specifically requested a private tour, expecting personalized pick-up and drop-off at my hotel by the guide. However, this was far from what I received. Instead of the promised door-to-door service, I had to arrange and pay for my own transportation to and from various meeting points. This was not only inconvenient but also contrary to what was advertised and agreed upon, leading to additional unexpected expenses.
2. Poor Itinerary Choices: One of the most disappointing aspects of the tour was the poorly chosen itinerary. Despite the plethora of well-known and significant places of interest in the region, the tour predominantly included visits to wineries, olive farms and yachts. While these might appeal to some, they were not what I was seeking in areas renowned for their beautiful scenery. Missing out on key historical and cultural sites left a significant gap in the travel experience I had hoped for.
3. Excessive Free and Easy Days: The balance between guided tours and free days was heavily skewed in favor of the latter. There were far too many "free and easy" days, with minimal guidance or planned activities. Out of 8 days of tour, 5 days were “free and easy” or “explore on your leisure”. This resulted in a lot of wasted time as I had to figure out my own plans without the local knowledge or recommendations that a guide would typically provide. It felt like I paid for a guided tour but ended up having to navigate and plan as if I were traveling independently.
4. Lack of guides for the trip: Except for the visit to Dubrovnik where a guide was provided for the walk in the old town, the information of all other trips were provided by the driver during the journey.
5. Lack of Personal Touch: The entire tour schedule was emailed before the start of the trip. We were expected to navigate the email (without any provided instructions) to find the pickup or meeting times for the next day's activities.
Overall, my experience with KimKim Traveler was far from satisfactory. The lack of personalized service, the disappointing itinerary, and the excessive free days and the absence of guides, all contributed to a feeling of frustration and regret. For a tour company that promises tailored and comprehensive travel experiences, KimKim Traveler fell woefully short. I would not recommend their services to anyone seeking a well-organized and enjoyable trip.

We benefitted greatly using Kimkim to plan such a big trip. Bruno was a tremendous help with all of the details (hotels, restaurants, drivers, car rental, walking tour guides and activities). He was also available and responded quickly to texts/questions via email before the trip, and using WhatsApp during the trip. Our drivers/guides were very friendly and, once they understood our sincere interest in the history and life in their country, were so interesting and informative. Mario and Oliver were great! While we drove ourselves a couple of days, having drivers and walking tour guides made such a difference to our experience since this was our first time to both Croatia and Slovenia. I feel like we learned more from them than just touring on our own. All of the hotels were very clean and conveniently located to where we wanted to explore. Besides breakfast each day at our hotels, we ate at restaurants for lunch and dinner. They were all very good (thanks Bruno!).

We loved our trip to Croatia and Slovenia! Bruno made it all easy, suggested great things to do, and touched base with us daily. I highly recommend working with him!
Highlights of our trip: Dubrovnik-what a charming, beautiful town; I would definitely go back; walking the city wall was amazing. Winery tour and wine tasting at Milos Vineyard-lots of fun. Plitvice Lakes-incredible scenery! Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj-so beautiful, like a fairy tale. Driving through the Alps-amazing vistas and our driver provided so much interesting information.
Marijana in Dubrovnik, Mia in Split and Irena in Zagreb were wonderful walking tour guides. They each knew so much history-both ancient and recent-about their country and respective cities.
Mario drove us from Zagreb to Bled and spent the day with us touring Bled and the castle, and hiking at Lake Bohinj; he was really interesting and shared stories, history and current information about Croatia and Slovenia.
Oliver spent the day with us, driving us through the Alps and ending the day in Ljublijana. He showed us not only the typical well-known places, but often took us off the beaten path to beautiful less visited sights. He shared so much history and current event information which we found so interesting.

Wow such a beautiful place! Mario drove us from Zagreb and provided so much interesting information about the region. We visited the castle, then he hiked with us at Lake Bohinj-just beautiful. That afternoon we visited the island on our own. While I think everyone should visit the island once, I would not go back should I visit the area again. The best part of the island is viewing it (and the church) from afar, it's fairy-tale beautiful.

Walking City Tour of Ljubljana

Ljubljana

This was the only activity on our whole trip which was disappointing. We all left the tour agreeing that our knowledge of Ljublijana was no greater than when we began. Our tour guide, Claudia, was not able to answer basic questions such as "what's the history of the castle?" She continually asked us where we'd like to go and what we'd like to do, rather than leading us and providing information. Our tour was to last 2 hours, but after wandering about for 1.5 hours, she acted like there was nothing left for us to do, and our tour ended early.

Ljubljana - Departure

Croatia

Our trip to Croatia was amazing! The scenery is awesome and the people are so friendly and with a crime rate the lowest in Europe, what's not to like?

Roberto and his team could not have been better, keeping us informed and providing updates throughout our stay. The Accommodations were great and the site seeing went without a hitch. In particular I'd like to thank one of Roberto's guides Marco. His time with us was memorable and he could not have been nicer. Definitely an asset to the team.
