We had a fantastic 9 day trip to Croatia. Bruno was extremely helpful with all aspects of planning and putting together the itinerary that fit our needs. The hotels, travel reservations etc were all seamless. Bruno also met with us when we landed in Zagreb and personally guided our group of 12 ( along with another associate, Mario) for the first 3 days of our tour. Even on the later days, when we were on our own or with other guides, Bruno would text me every night with the plan and arrangements for the next day.
This was my first time booking through KimKim and this was a 100% perfect experience. Will definitely return to this platform for any future travel and also highly recommend Bruno and his company to anyone traveling to Croatia.

Hotel Reviews
16 Lakes Hotel
Rakovica

Our Velinka was an absolute Angel! She welcomed us with home made Rakia and prepared us a huge and delicious breakfast spread the next morning ( bigger and better than many hotels!)

Location
Very close to Plitvice lakes park

Cleanliness & Comfort
The rooms were EXTREMELY CLEAN and nicely kept. Only reason for 4 stars is the rooms ( especially bathroom and shower) were very small and the sloping roof over the bed made me feel a little claustrophobic
Dubrovnik

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Clean rooms

We were leaving super early on the last day. They packed us boxed breakfast to take even though it was way before their breakfast time!
Cleanliness & Comfort
Skradinski buk
Skradin

The best amenities possible for a 3 star hotel. This was a very clean, new and updated hotel. Especially after the 16 lake guest house, the room and shower felt extra spacious. Breakfast was ok

Hotel President
Split

Old hotel and NOT AT ALL functional. Huge rooms but extremely tiny bathrooms with no place for anything, the shower door would not close. There was no room to even sit properly on the potty without hitting the bathtub. There was one small counter to hold a toothbrush, soap and toilet paper! The air condition er did not work.

Clean but NOT AT ALL comfortable or functional. Our friends had a room that was previously used as a conference room and the bathtub was perched on top of a stage and very tall and hard to get in and out of. The tub was in the room like a honeymoon suite but the door was not tight so it sprayed water on the room floor! This 4 star was the most disappointing hotel of our 9 day trip
Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort
Hvar

BEST HOTEL of the whole trip. If we could do this again, we would stay at Amfora for more days.

Authenticity & Character
Location
Beautiful water views and also less than 10 min walk from Hvar old town
Staff
This was a very large hotel and you could easily get lost even just getting back to the room but the staff was very kind and helpful
Cleanliness & Comfort
Sparkling clean facilities and lots of staff to service the rooms
Hotel Marko Polo
Korčula

Clean and decent but a little old/ dated hotel. Had a slight “ nursing home vibe”.

Authenticity & Character
Location
Close to town
Staff
Staff was very helpful. Helped us get scooter rentals even though it was late in the day and very last minute for a large group of 12
Cleanliness & Comfort
Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik Hotel
Dubrovnik

Great location, clean updated rooms, dinner restaurants with a view and an absolutely amazing breakfast spread!

Leaving Zagreb  and exploring Plitvice Lakes National Park
Leaving Zagreb and exploring Plitvice Lakes National Park
Zagreb

Bruno and Mario were great guides and drivers. We stopped at Rastoke village and then went to plitvice lakes park, which was breathtakingly beautiful. They guided us through the park and also explained all the natural phenomena leading to the waterfalls and told us about the history of the place as well. A day well spent.

Guides, Drivers and Staff
Bruno and Mario were very knowledgeable about the local places, history and geographic phenomena
Transport
2 minivans to carry our group of 12 and our luggage. The cars were in good condition and we didn’t have to worry about leaving our luggage while we were exploring the park since this was a private car service

Krka is a BIG and spread out national park. So glad we had our guides ( Bruno & Mario) otherwise we would not have been able to see so much of the park in one day!
