Our trip was wonderful. Our guides, Mario, Vincenzia, Paulina, Robi & Juro were awesome: professional, knowledgeable, informative, happy, interesting, & fun. We toured the towns of Zagreb, Zadar, Sibenik, Krka, Ston, Split & Dubrovnik. Plitvice Lakes & Krka National Parks were fabulous with spectacular waterfalls.

The hosts were lovely, hard working people & great cooks! Spring flowers were in bloom everywhere adding to the beauty of Croatia. Robi was available by phone every step of the way of our 10 day trip to guide & support us. It helped me feel safe & comfortable during my first trip to Europe. The itinerary was packed with wonderful adventures. This trip was more than I could ever imagine it would be. The Croatian people are so friendly & welcoming. I will return to Croatia someday with KimKim & Robi’s assistance to plan my trip. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Robi, who was our local specialist\guide did an amazing job planning a custom itinerary for our 10 day stay in Croatia. Robi drew from intimate local knowledge and created a trip plan that fulfilled everything we hope it would while we were in Croatia. He was always friendly, available, and responsive by phone whenever we had questions during our trip. I really couldn't have asked for more from our guide. I would recommend Robi to my family and closest friends.

Cain and Monika

Robi and his team were absolutely over the top. It was a dream vacation. His guides and drivers were knowledgeable and professional. All of his recommendations were spot on. Robi was available 23/7 to answer any question. Our only regret was that we did not get a chance to meet Robi in person and thank hi. We missed him by 5 inured in Mali Ston.

Super velicanstveno. hvala

Robi was absolutely wonderful and went out of his way to ensure all 4 of us had a customized experience that was epic! He modified things as we went, including accommodating someone who wasn’t able to follow the original program due to injury. He is keenly observant and quickly figured out what would delight us.

We could not have been happier. Especially loved the cycling routes and hikes he chose. Thank you, Robi!

If I could give Robi 10 stars I would.

This was our first time traveling to Croatia and also my first time using a travel agency. But with two weeks in an unfamiliar country I decided to that the risk of using an agency was less than the risk of going it alone. I'm so glad I did.

If I could give Robi 10 stars I would.

This was the trip of a lifetime. My wife and I were celebrating our ten year anniversary and we wanted to do a really special trip. This was our first time traveling to Croatia and also my first time using a travel agency. But with two weeks in an unfamiliar country I decided to that the risk of using an agency was less than the risk of going it alone. I'm so glad I did.

Robi patiently worked with us for weeks while we figured out where we were going to go and what kinds of things we wanted to do. We found a perfect blend of planned VS spontaneous time. Robi was amazing throughout it all. He sent us google maps pins every day as well as detailed travel notes about the routes - I never once had to worry about where we were headed next or how to get there. He gave us restaurant recommendations and made reservations for us. We stayed at six different hotels and every single checkin went smoothly. And when we wanted to change things up during the trip he was incredibly responsive and helpful; he never once pressured us to stick to the plan or do something.

It would have been impossible for us to experience a trip like this without Robi. If I had tried to do this on my own it would have been a stress filled two weeks and we'd have missed out on so many experiences. Some highlights:
- Visited about a dozen historical sites including Roman and pre-roman ruins, some on our own and some with tour guides Robi set up
- Ate in restaurants that ranged from Michelin stars to tiny Konobas serving local country food
- Rode in a small boat and ate oysters right off the line with the fisherman
- Tasted wine from a wide range of producers from across the country

I'm not usually one to write long, glowing reviews. But if you are still reading this then you're probably strongly considering whether or not to actually use Kimkim and Robi's services. We've been home a couple days now and I have zero regrets about what we did or how we did it. Kimkim's site is easy to use and as your trip evolves it makes it easy to see the latest itinerary and give your agent specific feedback about every part of it. We ended up printing the whole thing out and carrying it with us in a little notebook. As a detailed planner, my wife really loved that.

So... I can't speak for every agent on Kimkim, but I can tell you that if you are going to Croatia then there is nobody better to work with than Robi and Kimkim has been an awesome platform to use for our coordination.

Robi - thank you so much for all that you did for us. I really hope we get to see you again!

What a perfectly orchestrated trip.
The hotels were great overall - comfortable, good locations, lovely hosts. The 16 Lakes guesthouse was neat with a delightful host. Valamar Resort was a treat, great island, food and surroundings.

Bruno went above and beyond in every aspect of our stay. As a dedicated guide, he made our trip personal, informative, and varied. Bruno passed along his love for and excitement about the country of Croatia. Goran with the boat trip to the Elaphiti Islands was also perfect as a guide, historian and conversationist. Our thanks to Robbie and both of these guides who managed our Croatian itinerary and visit so enjoyably.

Robi was great to work with, flexible throughout when we needed small adjustments. He had selected great places to visit, accommodations and recommended restaurants and optional activities that were great.

Dubrovnik and Split were both very interesting and the hikes we did in the parks and around the locations where we were staying were appropriate for my capabilities. Finally, biking on the peninsula was a truly unique experience. read more

His historical knowledge was excellent and he loved to tell us about it. He chose such a great selection of accommodations and all the breakfast's provided were very good. It is hard to choose one place but some of the places I loved was Hum, Montovo, Porec and Plitvice Park. Oh the Pula and the amphitheatre. If we were to do the same trip again I would make it 2 days more as sometimes to see all we asked to see the time in the car was long and we got into places late. I would highly recommend Roberto to any of my friends.

Additional comments : Robi shared his extensive knowledge of the history, culture, architecture and politics enthusiastically. His love of Croatia was contagious and we appreciated his insights and perspectives during our 7 day tour with him. He was flexible and was accommodating to our needs and interests. I highly recommend Robi for an enriching and enjoyable tour. (Jody)

My husband and I chose the 17 day self guided Best of Croatia Tour, and it was a fabulous itinerary customized by Robi. We have really appreciated all of the patience that Robi has shown us throughout this process (since it initially was scheduled for Fall of 2020. Throughout the pandemic lockdown Robi and I kept in touch, and he never pressured us at all to book, but was kind and understanding of our desire to come when we felt it was the right time.
Our trip was outstanding and we felt that we really did experience "the Best of Croatia". Robi's suggestions for our itinerary were excellent. We liked starting in Zagreb, the capital, and appreciated our tour of the highlights of the capital city with Bruno, who was so passionate about his country! Part of the excitement of traveling for us is learning about the history and getting a glimpse into the culture, and Bruno did that! We were happy that Robi suggested to drive to the north of Croatia to visit the Trakoscan Castle - I loved how the furniture is still set up in their place and you can almost imagine how it was back in the 14th century! Also we were happily surprised at the beautiful highways that Croatia has, they are all so pristine and it was a pleasure to travel on them. We also appreciated the GPS that Robi made sure was in our rental.
We adored Istria and indeed it did remind us of Tuscany, so lovely. The little towns of Groznjan was super cute, as was Motovun. Porec was gorgeous and we will always remember the delicious seafood meal we had at Konoba Aba!
Plitvice was a highlight - I am so happy that Robi booked our accommodation near the park entrance the night before, as we were almost the first to enter the park, and seeing those stunning waterfalls almost by ourselves was just the best. We can understand how busy the park gets later on in the day or in the summer months, and it would have been a lesser experience, had we gone when it was crowded-it was perfect.
Each day was planned perfectly by Robi, with so much thought and consideration. He would send us pins each night for the following day, and so we were able to navigate the driving part all so well, and did not have to use data (which Robi taught us)!
There were so many highlights along the way - we loved the city of Zadar - it is full of character, and it is so beautiful, with the sea organ providing a wonderful ambience-just loved it!
Robi also placed us in accommodation right at the gates of Krka - he suggested we catch the first boat and we did-Krka is simply breathtaking!! The power of those waterfalls in incredible. We enjoyed the best Sea Bass of our lived in Skradin at Konoba Dalmatino.
We left our rental car in Split. Robi arranged for a walking tour of Split and it was a fantastic tour of the Diocletian's Palace.
Next we took the ferry to Hvar. This was our favorite island. It had a good "vibe", and we did not even party there (they call it the party island). It is just a gorgeous Medieval town, with quaint alleys full of little shops and restaurants. Robi booked "The DeVecchi Rooms" - our favorite-absolutely adorable, and again, the perfect location for walking everywhere. We took a beach day on Hvar at Ponkoji Dol Beach - you can walk from Old town-stay on the sea wall, don't follow Google maps-the walk on the sea wall is so pretty and the beach is lovely!
Then off to Korcula, another island with lots of vineyards, and a few beaches. We did a bike and wine tour here, and loved every minute of it.
Robi arranged for the driver, Goran, to pick us up in Korcula, take us on the car ferry to the Peljasic Peninsula, where we embarked on the BEST, most BREATHTAKING bike ride of our lives, along the coastline of the peninsula. Goran also took us to an amazing Vineyard where we sampled a few delicious red wines. This day was a definite highlight for us! And from there Goran drove us to Ston, where we walked the walls and had yet another seafood feast at Konoba Bakus-delicious!
Goran picked us up from Ston the next morning and onto our last stop-Dubrovinik. This walled city does not disappoint - it is jaw dropping!! We were not big fans of Split, but we LOVED Dubrovinik. The wall is incredible, and the stories from Antea, our walking guide in Dubrovnik were fascinating. Antea is a true local and she shares her very personal understanding of the history of Dubronik-one of the most interesting and cool cities you will ever see. We walked to another amazing beach, and the accommodations Robi arranged for us in Dubrovnik were perfect.
Frankly, this trip was faultless, because of Robi's attention to every detail. He is very hands on, and will communicate with you daily, in case there is anything you need. If you want to have someone plan and organize the best trip to get to know Croatia, you must book Robi-he is kind and considerate and so generous with his time - he went above and beyond and always says that his happiness comes from making his customers happy - how can you beat this? Thank you a million times Robi!

Robbi was amazing and went above and beyond anything we expected. read more

We were in No 3, I think, which was large, had comfy beds and had a washing machine, for which we were very grateful after being on a land tour for 11 days and we were then joining an island hopping cruise for a week. Our travelling companions were in the apartment next door, so they were able to use the washing facility too. It is near the Old Town of Dubrovnik, but you do have to be able to manage a lot of steps to get there and back, If you're fit, then I would definitely recommend it.

First, Robi was terrific on working on what we wanted on our trip from length of trip to hotels, to sights, etc. There was a lot of back and forth and I was always presented with multiple options. We had never been to Croatia so we were open to many suggestions, and it was perfect. Second the communication was top notch, any time we were going to a new city, Robi would whatsapp all details, even down to where to turn on a street, how early to be there, restaurants, etc. At no time on the vacation did we feel stressed as he setup everything perfect. Our trip was Split-Hvar-Korcula - Dubrovnik (with side trip to Kotor). The team he worked with was 5 stars with extra shout outs to Antonio in Split and Baldo in Dubrovnik. If you are wondering about using Robi and Kimkim, I highly recommend it for a special memorable trip.

As for sites, everyone is different, but renting a boat in HVAR and going into coves and swimming was terrific and beautiful, and the same happened in Dubrovnik and Robi was the captain and it was terrific also. Dubrovnik lives up to the hype. Kotor was incredible and you should ask for Baldo as a tour guide. In Split took a trip out to the Krka waterfalls and was a great trip. The day trip to Ston on the way to Dubrovnik was a great stop, from walking the walls to the oyster trip, to the salt plant. Be upfront with Robi on what you want and him and his team will find it, so enjoy Croatia

Great little hotel, the staff was terrific. It is not fancy, but the attention by staff and location make it great. Would stay there again.

Hvar

It is more of a B&B than hotel, but that is ok. The rooms and location were terrific. If you want staff to be around, this is not the place for you, but it was great otherwise. The staff was there in the morning for breakfast and cleaning up and were great. But not in the afternoon. Great views in old town overlooking the harbor.

Overall very good hotel. Great breakfast and great staff. Only downside is that no lunch served on site so when we arrived had to immediatley go out. Rooms were terrific and spacious, not something you always get in Europe

Baldo made the trip terrific. So much knowledge about Montenegro and communicative on what we were seeing. Kotor was beautiful and the climb up the mountain might be tough, but the payoff with views was worth it

Robi was terrific.

He has incredible knowledge of Croatia and really tries to cater to you by creating an itinerary matched to your interests and then executing.

For us, he created a plan for our 10 day trip which matched exactly what we were looking for.

Robi was terrific.

He has incredible knowledge of Croatia and really tries to cater to you by creating an itinerary matched to your interests and then executing.

For us, he created a plan for our 10 day trip which matched exactly what we were looking for. It was a lot of fun and we did all the activities that we were interested in such as biking, walks, city tours, wine tasting, yachting on a rented catamaran with a captain, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, great recommended restaurants etc.

Everything was well planned and executed. You really appreciate the depth of his knowledge when he suggests the actual time of day to go and do certain activities and makes specific recommendations based on the time of the year and the expected crowds. We went in August and Robi had specific suggestions of places and times that would avoid the crowds and give us a unique tailored experience. His hotel recommendations were top notch and fitted within our budget too.

Robi is fun to be with and is a walking encyclopedia on Croatia and on activities. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him for your trip. You can't go wrong.

Our trip to Croatia was really amazing!! Robi (Robert, our local tour guide) was absolutely fantastic. He was constantly in touch with us throughout the trip guiding us, helping us, going out of his way to help us enjoy our vacation.

Our trip to Croatia was really amazing!! Robi (Robert, our local tour guide) was absolutely fantastic. He was constantly in touch with us throughout the trip guiding us, helping us, going out of his way to help us enjoy our vacation. He met us personally at Ston and showed us around the town and treated us with dinner. When I left my shoes in a Ston hotel room ( and went to Dubrovnik) he personally arranged to get those shoes delivered to me! Every step of the way Robi was there. All the local guides that Robi arranged for to give us city tours like Bruno in Zagreb, Pero in Split and Antea in Dubrovnik were fantastic too. The car that we drove was arranged by Robi to be Delivered in our hotel at Zagreb. That was very helpful! Also, at the conclusion of our road trip the car was picked up by the rental agency right in Dubrovnik without any hassle. Robi even drove the car from Ston to Dubrovnik to give us a break and helped haul the luggage through the streets of Old town to our hotel. The airport transfer was also arranged perfectly by Robi. All in all it was an extremely enjoyable vacation, made special by Robi's constant help and guidance.

This was one of our best trips to Europe. Croatia is a beautiful country and Robi made this trip memorable for us. The guides that we had starting with Bruno, Pero, Antea were top notch each one of them were experts in their field. Robi planned a special boat trip for us and we got glimpses of Dubrovnik from the coast which was the highlight of the trip.

Robi treated us like his guests and not clients and he inculcated the love of Croatia within us. This is invaluable to find. The customizations, the impromptu requests all were met smilingly and without any complaints.
We will be forever grateful to Kim Kim and to Robi who made this trip so very special. Robi went above and beyond for us and we will remember this trip for a very long time. Hvala vam to the entire team.

We prepared the trip in advance and Robi was also extremely responsive proving suggestions and alternatives while at the same time taking on board the multiple requests and suggestions.
During the trip Robi was always providing support and accommodating everybody’s request.
We have done other bicycle holidays in other countries, but this one was beyond special, and Robi had a significant responsibility on its success.
