Sarah Cosic

Sarah and her colleagues organized a trip of a lifetime for my girlfriends and I! When planning, Sarah listened to what we wanted in our trip, then arranged great tours, accommodations and experiences. Mislav was on the ground, answering questions and making recommendations as needed.

I would highly recommend visiting Mljet National Park. Luksha took us on a breathtaking hike one day and led us around the islands on a kayaking tour the next. Our time at the park was my was definitely a highlight. Thank you Sarah!

The entire trip was flawless. Sarah and Mislav guaranteed everything ran so very smoothly this entire trip. When weather changed, we had a new adventure to experience. The hotels we stayed in general were were wonderful particularly the Hotel Bellevue in Dubrovnik and the Conaro in Split. We had excellant dining experiences which they helped us attain. When we made last minute changes, they accommadated our plans. We very highly recommend this tour company. I can't say enough how that made this such a memorable trip. I am telling all my friends to use their vast knowledge and care and book through kimkim.
Thank you so much for our wonderful experience. Based on this trip, I have booked another trip through Kimkim to Portugal.

The entire trip was incredible. It was so easy to work with Sarah in planning, even as we changed our minds and changed our routes. She was knowledgeable, patient and accommodating. We loved our guides in Split, Mljet and Dubrovnik. Mljet is an amazing place for people who like a bit of the outdoors and we highly recommend connecting with Luča. He is amazing, friendly and knowledgeable . While we were here in Croatia we had some random questions and Mislav answered them so quickly and provided really helpful info beyond our initial questions.

The entire team as amazing and I highly recommend KimKim!

Sarah worked extensively with us to include a variety of activities, sights, and guided tours. The result was a personally tailored itinerary. She checked in with us regularly and was quick with remedies when our plans had to change due to weather. Our guides Ina, Marco, Djana, and Ivo were knowledgeable and passed along the history of each location, while keeping it fun and interactive. Croatia is beautiful with pleasant weather, delicious food, the right mix of historical sights and relaxing time in and around the Adriatic Sea. KimKim made it easy!

Sarah, thanks for working with us to organize our trip for 4. You worked with us to tailor the trip to incorporate our interests and preferred accommodations. I appreciate the pivoting you did in response to the weather and your availability and communications. This was our first Kimkim trip and I recommend then without reservation.

Best experiences include Ina, an exceptional guide in Split. I so appreciate guides that can share an understanding of history and current social and political topics that impact the location. She was insightful and articulate. Keep her busy! Also a best was the wine guide Grgl Natkovic. Since we are from California wine region, we were interested in the industry in Croatia. While the local winery we first visited I would not recommend as part of future tours (good ambiance but mediocre wine), the wine we sampled at his family village was outstanding. His enthusiasm regarding H'var and the commentary he provided travelling from H'var city to Stari Grad was great. Here is a young entrepreneur to watch. Positive experiences with Marco for the walking tour of H'var. This walking tour and Marco's knowledge of the local plants was great. The walk through the countryside and "abandoned" villages was excellent. I would suggest an option to visit the interior of one of these houses to see what life in the village would be like. Also, Evo in Dubrovnik, is a guy who can pilot a boat like no body I know.

The accommodation selections were excellent. The drop off in Split could have been closer to the accommodation. The location of the accommodation in Split, H'var and Dubrovnik was convienient and well located.

Well done.

While this was a heritage hotel, with well stocked mini-fridge. If you are interested in aesthetics like architect, the authenticity was a little off in the patio and interior.

While I appreciate the themed rooms, they felt a bit dated and busy. Felt like it would be a very ritzy place in 2000 - even though it was decorated in 2015. The exterior and the balconies are great.

Marco was entertaining and informative.

We had a wonderful trip in Croatia! During the design process Sarah was responsive and accommodating, helping us choose options for activities and destinations within the country. We considered various day trips (for example, two Bosnia and Montenegro) that we ended up not taking, but Sarah had helped us with the research on those. We ended up booking most of our lodging, but Sarah had presented us with plenty of options on that front as well. The vendors she chose were terrific, particularly Mario’s sea kayaking and Grigo, Winko, and the group that took us on our bicycle trip on Hvar. The lunch of bread, cheese, charcuterie, and Croatian wine in a 19 century cellar was a true highlight of the trip. We had one glitch during the trip: a boating vendor that Sarah had hired mischeduled our family‘s reserved day. This was entirely the vendor’s mistake. Yet, Sarah was responsive immediately trying to work through things, and, when that became impossible, she refunded us that portion of the trip and treated our family to a lovely, delicious meal at a traditional Croatian konoba. As to logistics, it was terrific to have ferry schedules and tickets available for us and PDFs and all drivers accounted for at all times. Sarah was available at all times by WhatsApp, usually within seconds. Bottom line, it was exemplary customer service and our entire family is greatly appreciative!

This was terrific. One of the highlights of the trip, if not the highlight. The biking through warm hillsides and scenic medieval coastal towns and forested Bayside paths was idyllic. We were picked up in Hvar town by Grigo, who told us a great deal about the history of Hvar and adventurous he and his family had taken. Winko met our family on the tour. He, too, was knowledgeable and informative. Then, we had a fantastic meal in the cellar - there was delicious cheese, charcuterie, and bread. Somehow we managed to leave without a couple bottles of wine!

Boating Excursion Around Korčula's Archipelago

Korčula

Well, if we have to give this a star, we can only give it one star… Because it never happened. This is because Fish and Fun, the boat run by captain Mario, did not have us scheduled on the correct day. Although Sarah did all she could to persuade him to accommodate us, it did not work out so we made other plans. Sarah did refund us the entire portion for this part of the excursion, and gave us a wonderful meal in Dubrovnik as compensation. So, for this portion of the trip, we give KimKim 5 stars, and Mario none. We also found another boat to take us to surrounding islands, so we were able to salvage part of the afternoon, albeit not on Fish and Fun.

Privately guided walking tour of Korcula Town

Korčula

This was an informative tour that provided a lot of information about Korčula

Sarah was incredible to work with throughout our planning stages and then she and Ivan were super communicative during our actual trip. Not once did we have to worry about any logistics, everything was handled seamlessly. We were able to just fully immerse ourselves in the experience and make memories. Thank you from all of our family for building and executing the trip of a lifetime!!!

Sarah was great to work with while planning this large family trip of 18 (9kids and 9 adults). She was very responsive and helpful from our very first communication.
We had a private tour guide, Mislav, who was amazing! He took time to get to know us and cater the different experiences to our needs. He was kind and engaging with all the children which made the trip even more special for them.
Thank you for a wonderful experience in a beautiful place!
