Robert Pinčević

I always say, do not consider me only as your guide, but as your friend, who is trying to make your trip more comfortable for you! At the end, it all about you, and if you are happy, I am happy! I will always treat you as any of my friends and with a passion to show the best of Croatia, to share and pass the knowledge, history, memories. Which will hopefully lead to great experiences and long-lasting memories and friendships from Croatia!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Croatia is the main destination that we are specialized in, although occasionally we do work in Slovenia and area. We customize trips that can be made of outdoor activities such as; hiking, kayaking, rafting, sailing, cycling, multisport, but we also like to emphasize the cultural side of Croatia, either combined with activities or on its own. We love doing honeymoons, which we do more and more, providing foodie experiences, doing wine tours and beer tours! There is a lot of cultural and UNESCO heritage in Croatia that is worthy of experiencing. You might say that we do experiential travel!"

How did you get involved in travel?

"I did not get involved in travel, since it was naturally part of me. As the outdoorsman from the early age, I liked to explore. I remember, in elementary school, I would go for hours hiking on neighboring hills, climb the trees, or sit in kayak and paddle out and follow the coastline and explore. Many years afterward, while studying ( Law and Mechanical engineering) one of my friends called me to join him on a rafting trip. Next thing you know, I was rafting, kayaking, hiking, sailing and doing all kind of things that I would do on my own, but now i did it for work! I got licensed for many technical skills, and for classical guiding to be able to officially share my knowledge and local history. I enjoy helping others to experience Croatia."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Few years ago, I got Top Guide award, which led me to the USA where I was traveling almost for a month along the West coast. I experienced, Seattle, Mt.Ranier, Portland, Multnomah falls, Redwoods Park, Sacramento, Yosemite, San Francisco and bay area, Napa Valley, Anaheim, West Hollywood Santa Monica, Las Vegas, Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, Joshua tree, Disneyland, San Diego, Torrey Pines, Safari park and more...
Beautiful places. Great Experience. There are so many things and places around the world to be seen, and it is not fair to say that one is better than the other, they are just different, and that is the beauty of traveling. However, the thing that I will remember the most, is the beautiful people from all those places that I was traveling to. Although I was a solo traveler, I was never alone. There was always someone who joined me on my adventures. And without those people, my friends, my experience would never be the same. For example, throwing the fish on Pikes market in Seattle or singing with gospel singers.

Overall the whole trip was experience that I will never forget. It felt really good. Great. Warm around my heart! And that is the experience and feeling I want to share and give to others."

10 Breathtaking Days in Croatia - Organized by Roberto Pincevic (Robi)
My wife came across KimKim and Robi to help us put together our planned trip to Croatia.
Croatia is great and the people are awesome and is a story and Life experience for another chapter.
Out trip was organized through Robi. From the word go he established what we had in mind and what the budget was. (Being from South Africa our Exchange rate is not favorable towards the Euro.)
Everything was planned and executed perfectly by Robi and team to make our visit as comfortable as possible. He checked in with us every day, gave suggestions of things to do and places to go, with prices, pin drops and whatever we needed to find our way in an unknown country and cities.
We had the privilege to have Robi as our guide for one day through the Peninsula and areas on our way from Corčula to Dubrovnik and his knowledge about Croatia is amazing, and in combination with his positive energy makes the time spent with him one off the highlights of the trip.
In Dubrovnik he organized a city tour guide, Antea, who gave us a very interesting tour through the city of Dubrovnik.
The method of payment through the KikKim system was executed smoothly and we had no problems whatsoever at each of our destinations.

On a scale of 1-5, our guided Croatia tour with Robi, was a TEN. Croatia is a beautiful country with several wonderful scenic locations, including the lakes region, the large cave national park, and marvelous cities including Ljubljana, Dubrovnik, Ston, and Split. Our guide Robi, a lifetime citizen of Croatia, is a genuine insider. He worked tirelessly to make our tour a pleasant, exciting, seamless, and a truly memorable experience. Robi was very attentive, adapted to unexpected changes (replaced the transport van when it experienced transmission problems), and made itinerary changes due to weather changes (scheduled a sailing day from Ston). All the people we met during our trip were friendly, helpful, and in love with Croatia. When we completed our Croatia tour and we were on the way to Dubrovnik airport, our group was saying how much we enjoyed our tour with Robi, our van driver said, "you must be Robi people". We all agreed that we were definitely "Robi's People". Thanks a million, Robi for a wonderful tour.

Hotel Reviews
Valamar Argosy Hotel
Dubrovnik

Very inclusive and comfortable hotel resort with two pools and outdoor lounging. The only downside was that our room had a moldy smell and some of the waiters were hard to communicate with. A few minutes' walk to the bus #6 station, which will get you to the Dubrovnik Old Town in about 15 minutes.

Heritage Hotel Fermai

It's a bit small, but it's a very clean and comfortable stay. Parking can be a bit tricky, and if you come in through the back you may need to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs before you can use the elevator. Just a few minutes' walk to the Split Old Town.

Great option if you want to take a break near the Plitvice lakes area. Both hotel restaurants are great choices for lunch or dinner. Outdoor lawn with chairs and a pool was a great amenity, especially in the summer.

To be honest, after visiting Plitvice, Krka National Park was underwhelming. I would have honestly been fine skipping this part of the trip.

Gorgeous. Sadly the waterfall was closed, but the lakes were lovely. We almost chose to hike 20 km because we thought the boat couldn't take everyone at once and we would have to wait an hour, but luckily two boats came.

Reduce waiting time for the boat, especially since it's essential for visitors taking the one-way journey through the park

Rastoke is a must-stop village. The town rests on the intersection of two rivers at different elevations, sitting right on the edge of a wide-stretching waterfall. You'd have to go there to experience its beauty yourself!

Our trip to Croatia completely exceeded our expectations! Everything was so well-planned out by Robi, with lots of unexpected surprises!
Robi was extremely thoughtful and definitely listened to all of our requests for our dream vacation - including amazing bike rides, kayaking, national parks and an incredible hike!
We loved all of the history combined with fun outdoor recreation, incredible beaches, spectacular scenery, wineries, lovely accommodations and amazing food!
We totally enjoyed our tour of the Wall in Dubrovnik with Marco on the first day - he did a wonderful job of combining the history of the city with personal stories.
I can't say enough about our main guide, Goran - he was the best! He took such great care of us and was extremely patient with us. He made sure we never got lost while biking and was always there at every intersection making sure we headed in the right direction!
We totally enjoyed spending time with him and absolutely loved the day he took us hiking on Mljet! That was really special. The scenery was spectacular, and we thoroughly loved our fresh fish lunch on the island!
We loved everywhere we stayed from an apartment in Dubrovnik very close to the Walled City to a family run "palace" in Ston!
Our last night, Robi surprised us with an incredible stay at a fantastic hotel with beautiful views, a spectacular beach, and amazing service,
I could go on and on...every day of our vacation we said was "another top 10 day!" Every day in Croatia was our favorite day!
Thank you so much for an incredible experience and so many fun memories!

Dear Kimkim,

I cannot express how aboslutely fabulous our recent Croatia travel adventure was due to the diligance of our local specialist Robi . Robi is the most responsive travel rep I have ever worked with. He managed to deliver on our extensive list of wishes including, trasnfers, ferries, 4 days of biking (at the appropriate level for 5- 60 year old weekend warriors) kayaking, hiking, beautiful restaurant recommendations and most importantly our surprise guide, Goran Pincevic. Goran filled our biking/hiking days with historical stories, hidden nooks, local wineries and family restaurants. Both Robi and Goran truly worked tirelessly on our behalf to ensure a seamless, effortless adventure for me and my friends. All the accomodations he chose had a great location, very comfortable beds with air conditioned rooms and terrific breakfasts! I will be recommending Robi to ALL my friends that have interest in traveling to Croatia in the future, and by associatioin I will continue to look to Kimkim for future travel experiences.

WOW! Stunning hotel, location by the beaches, pool, large beds, great AC. I have never seen a breakfast like this one!! there were more delicious food offerings here than one person could possibly enjoy. the staff at the Hotel President beach could not have been more friendly and accomodating. We felt truly spoiled here!
