We loved our experience with KimKim in Korea and really enjoyed our guides in both Seoul (Jones) and Busan (Luke). They were extremely knowledgeable and took their jobs very seriously. They were also extremely pleasant. Everything worked out really well and they did a wonderful job of maximising the number of experiences without sacrificing on quality of the time. Christine was great to work with and did a nice job of figuring out all of the logistics for us.
We highly recommend KimKim and its staff.

We had a wonderful experience in our 10 day trip from Marrakesh, to Agafay, Rabat, ending in Fes. The Riads were all enchanting, specially for its beauty the Elegance in Marrakesh and for its majestic arabic palacial environment and distinguished personnel the Hanel garden in Fes. The visits of the beautifull gardens, magnificent Medinas, Volubilis, learning the history and traditions, was a lifetime experience, all timely toured and nicely personalized . Most importantly, and what I would say provides most of the merit for a relatively high priced trip, was the extraordinary care, diligence, amability, and problema solving of our driver/host Ismael. We always felt very comfortable and safe and well taken care of with my wife, daughter and grandaughter throughout the 10 day visit/drive from city to city and within the city. Overall food menues specially in the desert glamping can be improved for a more luxurious experience (specially for 10 data were Food becomes rather repetitive)..but nevertheless we managed by searching for restaurants with great help from Ismael (as well as for shopping). The trip to the hills was interesting but excesively crowded during the short hike (this tour can be improved). These Small limitations, which we enjoyed anyways (the food and the trip to the Atlas hills/mountains), did not affect at all a great family experience in Marrocco; thank you very much.

This was a terrific trip. From a logistics perspective, everything ran very smoothly. The transfers were arranged and happened as they should. People met us when they were supposed to meet us. Everyone was friendly and lovely. Ariel answered all of my (many) questions quickly, accurately and with great patience. It never took more than 30 minutes to hear back from him no matter what time of day I sent my message. (I never expected him to answer at any time of day or night - I was just sending my questions as I thought of them). The only slight issue was that I have food restrictions and the chef on the boat didn't seem to know that. Once I brought it to their attention, he made sure that I had something to eat at every meal.

Jose was our guide in Quito and he was a pleasure - very knowledgeable and flexible. His English is excellent.
After Quito we were on the ship Anahi for a week in the Galapagos where Luis was our guide. I cannot commend the crew of the Anahi enough. Happy and friendly and very hard working. The boat was always sparkling clean, there were ample towels, they were snacks waiting for us when we would return from a hike or a snorkel. Everyone was very knowledgeable about the wildlife in the Galapagos and went above and beyond to ensure that we got the most out of our experience there.

Luis was a great guide - like everyone on the ship, he's local and that makes a big difference. He was also very knowledgeable and energetic. He did all the hikes and dives with us, even when he wasn't feeling well one day. He was available any time we needed him for anything and always smiling.

I would highly recommend using KimKim and sailing on the Anahi

Everything about this ship was great. It holds 16 passengers which is a great number for a trip like this. We were on and off the boat frequently so there was no waiting in line for a tender ever. We had 2 zodiacs and were able to embark and disembark in no time. There was a dining area for our meals, an indoor 'living room' near the dining area, an outdoor partially covered bar and sitting area as well as a lounge area up top. The lounge area could get very hot so we weren't up there much. The food was plentiful and good.

We appreciated the careful planning and arrangements for our trip to Costa Rica in January 2026. Arriving in Liberia - Guanacaste airport late because of flight delays, we found our driver after leaving the chaos of the airport and inefficient customs. Our driver brought us to Lomas Volcuna Hotel over twisty, bumpy roads late in the evening. Of all the arrangements, the only thing I would change was perhaps staying closer to the airport and taking the arduous trip the next morning. The hotel in Arenal surpassed all expectations. It was quiet, luxurious, and clean with the individual cottages. The landscaping lifted the senses and there was a trail in the woods for enjoyment. The North Fields chocolate and coffee experience informed us of all the complexity of these crops; the guide used excellent teaching methods to keep us engaged. The next day, our boat ride on the river found more wild life than any other adventure of the week. The guides spotted monkeys, sloths, caiman, iguana and several bird species. All week the guides had telescopes to see the animals and they outfitted our phone cameras for pictures. Our last day, we hiked up the side of Arenal; the climb was aduous for some of our party but the guide supported the members who needed help. The trip to Manuel Antonio was another long bumpy trip but the Mariposa Hotel destination was worth the drive. Great views, wonderful restaurant, infinity pool and capochin monkeys everywhere. Manuel Antonio park did not handle the crowds well, wildlife was distant, but the coast was beautiful. Back up the mountain to the cloud forest and Monteverde. The hotel, Fonda Vela, had a great pool, the best cooking of the trip and beautiful natural wood rooms. We traveled the hanging bridges which were very manageable even for our members who had difficulty hiking. Our night hike in the forest revealed the creature that come out after dark. Guides showed us toucans, other birds, a viper, and a frog. Seeing a frog made me realize that all the ecology and conservation in Costa Rica has at least saved this one little reptile. We just don't see frogs in the US like I did as a child. Kenny our driver brought us back down the mountain to Tamarindo bay. The resort had a gorgeous ocean front that we walks every morning at dawn to our extreme delight. The town and vendors could be overwhelming at times, but the evening shows with traveling Mariachi bands, jugglers and circus acts were entertaining. Photos of the week will be dear to us; a video of stills and video clips helps to recall the good times!

THANK YOU MONIKA - NEW ZEALAND TRIP

This was our 4th trip in a row that we have booked with KimKim and again it was everything we had hoped for.

Monika, you were amazing in everything you did for our recent 3 week bucket list vacation to New Zealand, which went seamlessly. Your blend of the north island on the first part of the trip and then flying to the south island to spend much more time was perfect. All of the accommodations were superb and a very nice mix of traditional and modern. Since we are active people we asked you in the beginning stages of planning this trip, to include unique daily excursions. The things you booked were fantastic and every day was different in their own ways. On the north island, a few of the things that we really enjoyed was the nighttime kayak trip to see glow worms in the caves, The Hobbiton Movie Set and the performance and dinner at the Maori Village which was highlighted by the Haka dance. Once we arrived on the south island for over 2 weeks, your choices of things to do is really too much to describe as we did so many things. If I was to list some of our favourites, they would be as follows. Starting out in Queenstown, the full day jet boat ride up a river and then returning in a 2 person inflatable Funyak (kayak) ride back down with the current was so much fun. Also, the overnight in a beautiful 20 person catamaran in the fjord laden Milford Sound which included kayaking in the Tasman Sea was amazing. On to the nighttime viewing of the blue penguins, sperm whale watch, hiking and much, much more. But, one of the top highlights for both of us was the HalfDay Heli/Glacier Hike at Mount Cook. Hiking on top of the glacier and down into beautiful ice caves was something we will always remember.

I could go on about more things we did on this trip, but I would like to finish with saying how much we appreciate everything you did to make this trip one our top trips ever. Your organizing skills with our itinerary, your punctuality in getting back to us so fast during the planning process, your professionalism and being a genuine nice person, truly was second to none and we highly recommend you!

Thanks again Monika and thanks to Kimkim for being our No. 1 choice to handle our travel plans.

Thank you so much for organizing such a wonderful and memorable trip to Cairo. The experience was truly exceptional from start to finish.

A special thank you to our driver, Mohammed Ragab, who was outstanding throughout the trip. His professionalism, punctuality, safe driving, and warm attitude made all our transportation smooth and stress-free. He was always attentive to our needs and ensured everyone was comfortable at all times.

I would also like to commend our tour guide, Karam, who was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and engaging storytelling brought every site to life. He was informative, patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing Egypt’s history and culture, which made the experience even more enriching for everyone.

Ahmed Madani was also amazing, he gave us the city tour on our first day.

Overall, the trip was extremely well-organized, informative, and enjoyable. We truly felt well taken care of, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations.

Dinner (you called it lunch, but it was at 5pm so it was our dinner) with the red rocks tour was fun and a pleasant surprise.
The only tour we didn’t like was the moon valley. Too big of a group and a very disorganized start and it just wasn’t that interesting.

Loved the breakfast room. Staff was great - but it was VERY noisy! Only 7 rooms and people were loud going up and down the wooden steps starting very early in the morning and then late at night and it sounded like someone was clanging dishes in the breakfast room starting at about 5. Also bathroom was way to small - no shelf space and there wasn’t much storage in the bedroom either.

It was a big pleasure organizing your comprehensive journey through Chile and supporting you along the way. I hope we’ll be back in touch when you’re ready to explore more of South America — perhaps Peru or Ecuador next time. We would love to help you plan that adventure, too.

My mom’s dream was always to visit India. I am so blessed that my friend recommended this company to help plan our dream vacation! We had safety concerns as it was only two women traveling but all that was squished the moment we passed all the customs at the airport. From the initial pick up and warm welcome to the last good bye and arranged transfer between terminals on our way back was an amazing experience. We didn’t just feel safe but always taken care of, treated with respect, patience and kindness. We had a tour guide at every city who was very knowledgeable, spoke good English and looked after us like their own family member. Helped us shop at safe locations, always gave us heads up about any customary things that we didn’t know, spoke about local traditions and and answered all of our questions and we had a lot of those :) also very important note: most of the tour guides took amazing pictures of me and my mom! We had one driver the whole time and he was very nice but most importantly his driving experience was amazing! He was so sweet and caring, took care of our luggage and made sure the car was clean every day! our tour was planned in such a way where we saw a lot of touristy attractions, learned a lot about history, experienced different nature but also had a cooking class, ride an elephant, watch locally made crafts like hand made rugs, jeep safari, boat ride and more. So it wasn’t just visiting the forts, temples and palaces. We got to experience a lot in between. The best part I didn’t plan any of it! I just let them know that we want to see and get to feel India. They asked a few questions and all was planned for us in a couple of days. All the hotels and things to see and do where suggested and we could make any changes that we wanted when planning it all. You have your freedom to make this trip what you want it to be! After all tha we just showed up and enjoyed the ride :) will do it again in the future and will recommend it to everyone!
