Personalized trips to Greece
for independent travelers

Our trip to Greece was a once in a lifetime vacation and Sydney did an AMAZING job planning it. We loved that all of our transportation was done for us and we only had to meet our guides or drivers at the hotel. We all had different favorite things that we liked, but some of the ones we enjoyed the most were the food tour, the cooking class, the history of the Acropolois/Parthenon and the boat tour around Zakynthos. All of our tour guides were very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I would 100% use KimKim for other vacations in the future!

Self-Guided Beach Day

Zakynthos

This was the day that we split up for a bit. My daughter and husband went to the beaches, while I had coffee and read a book. It was a light, easy day where we could take it a little bit easy.

Private Island Cruise: Best Beaches, Caves, Small Islands

Zakynthos

Our driver picked us up at the hotel and took us to our boat. The experience was amazing as we saw the bluest and clearest water we have ever seen. We were able to see sea turtles, shipwreck beach, blue caves and dolphins on the tour.

We climbed all of the stairs to see the Palamidi Fortress and it did not disappoint. The climb was a struggle at times and we had to take breaks, but overall it was a good experience.

Private Acropolis & Acropolis Museum Experience

Athens

We met our guide at the Acropolis and she did a fabulous job of showing us the Acropolis/Parthenon and the museum. We never would have learned that much history if we had gone by ourselves.

Self-Guided Local Markets Visit

Athens

All of the locals markets were within walking distance of our hotel. It was great to sight see by ourselves.

Quality of Experience

I didn't know what to expect when I chose to use Kimkim, but after having used them I would highly recommend it to everyone! From the very beginning of trip planning, our local specialist Ina was a fantastic resource. She helped us shape the EXACT trip we wanted and dreamed of. We had several iterations of our trip, but she was very patient and kept working with us patiently to get the trip we wanted down to the littlest detail. First of all, Ina knew all the best tours and activities in each location. We had an amazing tour of the City of Athens & Acropolis, followed by a tour following Paul's footsteps to Corinth, and then in Paros we had the BEST boat tour (glaraki cruises), followed by a super fun and memorable cooking class. On top of picking the best activities for us, all of the private transportation was taken care of so there was NO STRESS. I think out of the dozens of transfers we had, only one came past the stated time and it was only late by 5 minutes so it was wonderful that we could count on the transportation to be there on time. Finally, we had a hiccup with a hotel in Paros where there were issues and the hotel was shut down for the days we were supposed to be there and Ina and her team quickly found an alternative hotel that was incredible. Instead of me scrambling to find an alternative, the Kimkim team handled it all smoothly and quickly. So to summarize: a fantastic experience from start to finish which resulted in a fun, romantic, and NO-STRESS trip.

We hit the ground with enthusiasm and excitement and were not disappointed. The accommodations were perfect for us with The Niche in Athens being our favorite. The reception and staff at all of our stays made us feel warmly welcomed and well supported. Hiking the Imbros Gorge on Crete was a stunning experience and we enjoyed eating, shopping and exploring the charming town of Chania. On to Santorini! We loved Hotel Keti and the staff. The many steps kept us in shape for our long walk from Fira to Oia. It was a challenge but we would to it again! Santorini Sea Kayak provided us with a wonderful and entertaining day of paddling and spectacular views along the coast. Adonis and Nolan were the best guides ever! We were also treated to a homemade lunch.

Naxos was a treasure and a sweet change of pace. Although the winds were gusty and it was a bit chilly we stilled loved the island. One of our favorite tours was with Natural Cultural Tours. Our guide Christos was over the top fun, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Sadly we said goodbye the Greek Islands as we headed back to Athens and our long journey home. Thank you Kim Kim for giving us this opportunity!
