Sarah was really wonderful in her choices of both our activities and hotels. She planned everything—from drivers to schedules. We particularly enjoyed Hotel Cornaro in Split. And our skipper Marko who took us between Split and Hvar was fabulous: he took us to his favorite spots to visit, eat (under a canopy of olive trees), and swim. Then Grgo who took us on a winery tour in Hvar—including his own family’s winery—was a gracious host. We were able to visit several places and get insiders’ views from our drivers and hosts. We learned so much about the history of Croatia and what it’s like to be a Croatian today. I recommend using KimKim and Sarah and Ivan 100%!

Very nice hotel! Great rooms and spectacular service. The breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had.

Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort
Hvar

Although a little dated, you can’t beat the incredible pool with the view of the Adriatic. The staff is very helpful, considering how many people stay there. The breakfast is amazing with so many choices. The only negative we experienced was in our bathroom where the sink and faucet were badly designed, and you couldn’t rinse your hands without splashing pools of water everywhere, and the bathtub/shower was poorly draining. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for the view and the food and service.

Hotel Porto
Dubrovnik

This is a very new hotel and lovely inside. Our room was spacious and super well designed. It is conveniently located near a bus stop so we could easily get to the old town and anything we wanted to do. There are markets nearby too. And the food—including the breakfast—is really good. We had lunch and dinner there, and they took time and care preparing our food. Highly recommend this hotel!

Tonka took us on a really fun Game of Thrones tour! She shared her own experience as an extra on the show. She told us about the history of Dubrovnik and shared some of her own personal story. Highly recommend!
