Soul of Croatia

We are a family run business formed by a merry team of seasoned professionals with a passion for tourism. After eight years of honing our skills and talents, we decided to share our knowledge and live our passion in a new way: our very own business. The best practices and experience we collected throughout the years have now been implemented into a new endeavor – with the aim of maximizing our clients’ satisfaction.

As one of our guides would always say: don’t look upon us as your guides, but as friends making the trip more comfortable for you. We don’t smile out of professional courtesy, we smile because we feel that way and because we want to. We don’t do something because we expect something else in return, we do it because it’s the nice and the right thing to do!

We find these thoughts to be both our motto and the cornerstone of our professional policy. We are honest and try not to exaggerate. It would be selfish to say, that with us you’ll get to see the best and the most awesome places in the world because there are a lot of beautiful locations all across the globe, each special and unique in their own way – and all worth discovering and experiencing. But what we can say is that we hope you get to visit all of such places, wherever they may be, along with our very own little corner of the planet – where we would be delighted to be both your hosts and friends.

We are here to help you experience the grace and beauty of Croatia’s landscapes with the hope of having a great time and an awesome adventure that will make you smile when you return home. Our trips are a mixture of nature, knowledge, culture, food, and activities. We created packages that include all of the above with the goal to show you some of the best things Croatia has to offer, but if you wish to make any adaptions more in line with your own preferences we are at your service.

Our name — Anima Croatica — stands for Soul of Croatia in Latin. The name represents our desire to show you the essence of the places you visit: we want to show you both the highlights of a country as well as its hidden domains that are off the beaten path. We wish to share history with you, enjoy home-made food together and take turns toasting for health, love, and joy with the best local wines!

This trip was for my husband’s 40th birthday and I would say it was an incredible way to start a new chapter! We can truly say we have seen every bit of beautiful Croatia, and what a gem it is!!!
First of all, I could not have done this without the tireless hours Robi put into planning this itinerary! We went in early November and we really enjoyed the fall weather and low crowds!!! Only minor downfall was that in some of the smaller towns, restaurant options were minimal and stores were closed for the season. But we would take that exchange for the low crowds we had the entire trip!
Robi was a rockstar with the constant communication on WhatsApp the entire trip. It was like having our personal tour guide in our pocket!!! He dropped pins of sites, restaurants, ice cream shops, and parking. Kept us up to date with the following day’s agenda, time line, who we would meet, etc. He made the trip so seamless!!
Had a great tour guide in Zagreb, named Mario, that not only picked us up from the airport on our arrival, but toured us around and passionately spoke about his country and Zagreb. Just great!
Matej delivered a rental car to us, and also picked it back up in Split. He also drove us back to the airport for our departing flight home. Took great care of us!
Robi had us vouchers and times of our arrival for Plitvice and Krka National Parks and made those experiences just wonderful! The national parks and immense amount of waterfalls were just breathtaking! It was also lovely to tour those parks without the intense heat or crowds that are typical in the high season. Those parks were a big highlight of our trip.
Split was one of our favorite cities. Warm, sunny, palm trees and history! Pero guided us around the city center and did a great job teaching us all about the Diocletian’s Palace.
Robi then became our real life, in person guide for a couple days, touring us around to Peljesac peninsula, Korcula, and Ston. His knowledge of Croatia is extensive and we enjoyed spending time with him. He also took us to a couple wineries in the Dingac valley that was an experience of a lifetime! So, so cool!! Ended our trip in Dubrovnik, a beautifully quaint town! Our hotel, Pucic Palace, was my favorite! City center as you can get and such a gorgeous antique room! Antea, our guide, filled our history cup up with a great tour and then we got to explore the small town the rest of the day!
The details of the trip did not go unnoticed and I could not have planned such a relaxing trip for myself and husband without Robi’s expertise!! I will highly recommend Robi and his services to my friends in the future. Until next time, Croatia!

How to describe our time spent with Robi and Daniella? Think of the luxury of a highly customized trip planned to your tastes, with the homey and personal feeling of being guided by a good friend.

Robi planned an unforgettable experience for us - from personally taking us out on his boat, to the tour of his friend's oyster farm, to cycling in some of the most beautiful places we've ever experienced. It felt like he really took our personal preferences into account, and like we were seeing a side of the Pelješac Peninsula that could only be discovered by seeing it with someone who has deep personal knowledge of the area. He answered all of our questions and taught us a lot about the history of the area and Croatia in general. We will never forget our time spent in this beautiful place and cannot wait to come back and see more!

We got exactly what we were looking for out of this experience - which was to be connected with activities and places we would not have been able to find on our own. We highly recommend booking with Robi and Daniella - you will not be disappointed!

My favorite day of our trip. A morning hike over the walls of Ston, followed by a tour of an oyster farm and eating oysters fresh out of the water, and the crowning jewel of a ~20 mile bike ride through the most beautiful wine country imaginable. There was a part of the bike ride where we rode through a tunnel and came out onto the shore - the transition from the dark tunnel to the sun dazzling off the Adriatic was something I will never forget. It was so beautiful that I cried.

Another beautiful day of cycling. This was a lot flatter than the "triple threat" cycling so I think would be appropriate even for folks who aren't that active. The little island/monastery in the center of the park was a special treat!

Our trip to Croatia was awesome!!
The experience was so good because of the work of Daniela and Robi.
They constructed a fabulous itinerary that touched on the highlights of Croatia from the capital city, the fantastic Plitvice Lakes National Park, Split, two marvelous Islands and then Dubrovnik. Daniela and Robi selected wonderful hotels and great guides and stops along the way. We appreciated the daily updates and personal assistance.

Thanks so much for helping us make beautiful memories of amazing Croatia.

We met up with Goran as our guide and were treated to manageable 15-20 mile bike hikes. I am 74 and my wife is 67.. what a great experience to visit Korkula island, Pelješac peninsula and finally Mjet island and national
park. Cycling was a great way to see so much of Croatia! We ended our trip to the beautiful city of Dubrovnik. We had visited this city one month earlier on a cruise ship trip. So, we were treated to mountain top views and fortresses that we would never have seen without our wonderful guide Goran. We can’t say enough about the coordination, the accommodations were 5 star+ and the friendships we made in just 10 days. We wanted to adopt them both snd take them home 🤗 KimKim and Robert (Robi) could not have done a more professional and satisfying job for us. You have to put Croatia on your bucket list!!!

Words cannot describe what a fantastic trip we had in Croatia. Daniela and her husband Rob were put together the perfect itinerary that exceeded expectations. Accommodations (mix of hotels and air b&b's, activities, transfers, transportation....everything was like a well oiled machine. Everyday, we looked forward to receiving the next day's activities with pins for all destinations, food recommendations from best gelato to best seafood! We felt like we had a guardian angel and were always able to contact them via What'sApp. Indeed, on our way home, we left our mobile phone in the cab. We called Rob and within 15 minutes the driver returned to the airport. Crisis averted!

When we were trying to decide whether or not to book through Kimkim, we read the reviews. Several mentioned the "lack of transparency in pricing". Honestly, the quality of our trip; the reassurance that all accommodations were solid; knowing we had a reliable contact in case of any issues was worth every penny! We won't hesitate to book another trip and for anyone considering travel to Croatia Rob and Daniela were 6 stars!

We were able to explore the popular 'hot spots' while still getting authentic and personalized experiences most people wouldn't be able to achieve pursuing a larger or non local travel agency. It was a great mix of national park and scenery, city tours and history, active exploration such as biking the peljesac peninsula, kayaking near Korcula, and climbing the Ston fortress walls, good food and wine.
