We had an excellent, well oiled, smooth trip thanks to Eric and Offbeat. They set up all our hotel reservations, making sure breakfast included everywhere. We did most of the trip on our own, but the things he/they set up were great and all lived up to expectations. (horseback riding, whale watching. lagoon trip) Their daily plan was very helpful, particularly for the map, which really helped with day-to-day plans. One thing I would suggest is to add a separate map that includes all the stops-including the optionals. (i.e.-2 maps, one with all suggested and another with suggested + optional). What would be REALLY cool is to have an interactive map where one could add or delete stops of any kind. It was helpful that they reached out with warnings about some potential road issues. And they got back to us quickly when we corresponded on their urgent email. They added just the right amount of handholding we needed and their suggestions took into consideration most of our interests.

It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the hotels and their locations, as well as some of the memorable experiences along the way.

Thank you as well for your honest feedback about spending two days in Flåm and the Viking village. These comments are very helpful and will certainly be kept in mind when planning future itineraries.

I’m so happy that, overall, it was a memorable trip and that KimKim could help make your journey special. It was a pleasure being part of your adventure, and I hope you’ll have many more wonderful travels ahead!

We had such an incredible week in Iceland! I traveled with my 10-year-old son, and Emanuela did a wonderful job helping us plan a trip that had the perfect balance of adventure, sightseeing, driving, and downtime.

From the beginning, Emanuela gave really thoughtful recommendations, including when to travel given that I would be self-driving with my son and the weather can be unpredictable. The itinerary was so well planned, with great hotels, manageable driving days, and a mix of experiences that we both loved.

My son unfortunately got sick right when we arrived, so we weren’t able to follow our itinerary the first day. The team was incredibly easy to reach and helped rearrange our Blue Lagoon visit for another day. It all worked out seamlessly, and we still got to experience everything we had hoped to.

And Iceland itself was absolutely spectacular. We were there right on the cusp of the season and were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights, along with the Golden Circle, glaciers, hot springs, rainbows, waterfalls, and more cute sheep than we could count. My son kept saying, “This is unreal. This is magic.” That pretty much sums up the trip.

I really appreciated Emanuela’s thoughtful planning, great recommendations, and the support when we needed it. It was such a special trip for my son and me, and one we’ll remember for a very long time!

Iceland has always been a dream destination for me, and when I heard there was an eclipse passing over the island I knew it was time to go!

We started trip planning very late so we were very grateful for Preeti’s help. We told her what we wanted to see and do while there and she made it all possible. Because of the coming eclipse a lot of places were booked and we never would have found the hotels and tours that we wanted without Preeti’s connections and expertise.

She laid out each day with lots of options for things to do and see; each tailored to our desires and we were never disappointed. Iceland is a truly magical place and Preeti helped us see as much as we could in the 10 day window that we were there.

The eclipse was obscured by clouds except of one brief moment, but we were never in the least bit sorry that we came. The weather is always a gamble but our lovely trip to this beautiful island could not be diminished by that.

We saw many sites that no doubt thousands have seen before but each one seemed to be so pristine and new as if they were newly discovered just days before.

I know it’s only a matter of time before we return to explore more of the otherworldly realm that is Iceland.

Next was Stirling which was a nice change in pace after Edinburgh. Our guide for the Stirling Old Town & Castle Private Walking Tour was Donnie. He is retired, lives in Stirling was very knowledgeable about the town history. From Stirling we drove to Inverness which was nice and our accommodations great. Our local guide for the private walking tour was good. We went to famous Hootananny Pub and had dinner and enjoyed live music. The atmosphere was amazing.

The rest of the trip went well except for driving the narrow roads to Portree and back to Glasgow from Fort William. Portree was nice but ourseeightsseing was limited by the seasonal rain.

Overall, excellent trip with outstanding support from Kate (Kateryna Garkavenko). Who helped us plan the trip to Scotland.

He put together an ambitious and comprehensive itinerary that kept us fascinated, delighted and tired by the end of the day. He dropped in rest days here and there, just when we needed them and always made suggestions for additional fun along the way. He took us from the tropics to the desert and back again and mid trip, when a surprise appendicitis stalled us for a week, he made sure we had everything we needed, changed plans and made it easy for us to resume our trip when we were ready. He has also been great about making sure we have everything we needed to complete the travel insurance paperwork. We highly recommend Asko and Project Matka. LGBTQ friendly too! Thanks everyone.

The itinerary provided in the app needed many clarifications to make it flow chronologically, and to make it parallel the actual legs of the trip. Also, I would have preferred that any messages from KimKim came to me directly in email, and not through the app, because my iPhone would not allow me to access the trip chat area in the app, no matter what I tried. I could only see messages in the evening of each day on my iPad, which I didn't carry around with me, and my desktop, which I obviously didn't take with me.

I appreciated the recommendations for our free days and restaurants. Jimy, our guide was fantastic,knowledgeable, fun and flexible. I also appreciated Lisbeth's efforts to retrieve and return a hat I left in MP.

Overall it was a great trip, however, we had some really basic logistical missteps that caused hassles that should have been avoided on a high end trip such as this. I shared that feedback and frustration directly and felt that they did their best to address it, and treated us to a dinner to offset some of the hassle. This is the second time we've booked with kimkim and the first time we have encountered logistical difficulty on the ground.

Flight from CUSCO to LIMA I had to ask repeatedly for the boarding passes. We never received them until around 6 pm before our departure at 4 am. As a result of the late check in, we were in a very late boarding group requiring us to check luggage (we always do carry on and always plan for that) and weren't seated together. I shouldn't have had to ask repeatedly for the boarding passes. It would have been easier to handle this myself.

The next day it then took us 6 hours to get to Cusco: bus ride down, late train and an absolutely harrowing drive from the train to Cusco via extremely deserted roads, many with previous rock slides causing the road to become one lane and very, very rough dirt roads. I know there must have been a different route through the mountains. It was a terrible drive. I don't know why we couldn't have gone directly from MP to Cusco and had our luggage delivered. A six hour, extremely uncomfortable journey was competely unacceptable on a trip like this. We loved MP, but the travel hassle in both directions really impacted our impression of what was to be a highlight.

Loved this, especially the Llama Trek. We learned so much and our guide Jimy was fabulous. It is a very, very long day and the road to Ollantaytambo was really rough. The Pachamance lunch was delicious, but it was a long drive and we ended up there very late due to the road so we missed some of it. The food was excellent, though.

We had an amazing 18-day trip focused on the NC500, the Outer Hebrides, the Highlands and Islay. We enjoyed spectacular scenery, historic landmarks, iconic hotels, and activities that fit our interests to a T.
In particular, the itinerary fit perfectly with our interests and we liked that we could choose from among options along the way.
We had three guides--at the Torridon Hotel a guide, whose name I didn't quite catch, took us on a nature hike that was spectacular, Donald Mathheson toured us around Lewis and Harris (2 days), and Dougie Mac Taggert took us on a lengthy coastal walk, escorted us to our Tour at the Kilchoman Distillery and ended with a walk through the RSPB Loch Gruinart. All were exceptional and very personable to spend a morning or day with.
We covered a lot of ground either on foot, in the car, or by ferry.

Hotel Reviews
The Torridon
Achnasheen

This was quite exceptional between the stately, elegant stone building, the carriage houses, and the property with walking trails.

Authenticity & Character
The hotel building is stunning as are the grounds.
Location
Absolutely gorgeous! Lovely forest, loch, bar, restaurant, rooms!
Staff
Very friendly.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The bath towels!!! I have never experienced such fluffy towels!
Marmalade Hotel
Portree

We had a very brief stay from early evening to early morning as we were transitioning from our stay on Harris and Lewis to heading towards the Applecross penninsula.

Authenticity & Character
It was very attractive.
Location
Convenient to the center of Portree. We were able to walk to a restaurant for dinner in 8 minutes. Parking can be challenging in town.
Staff
We only interacted with the person on duty when we checked in/out and the person who served us breakfast.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Broad Bay House
Back

Broad Bay House is located 15 minutes north of Stornoway and was built to be a Bed and Breakfast rather than converting a private home to such. On our first night's stay we enjoyed a sharing platter of seafood for dinner. It was ample, attractively presented, and very good. On specific nights they serve a plated dinner but our stay didn't coincide with this option,

Authenticity & Character
The guest rooms are toward the front of the house. The social space includes a dining area and comfortable furniture for relaxing. It is nicely decorated throughtout.
Location
It sits atop a cliff and overlooks the broad bay and beach. There is access to the beach quite near the house, We enjoyed walking on the beach at low tide.
Staff
We had some delightful conversations with the owner.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Great bathroom!
The Dipping Lugger
Ullapool

Our room was absolutely gorgeous. It felt more like a suite with a small hallway leading off the bedroom to the spacious bathroom that had both a shower and free-standing bathtub. The food is amazing. We had 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts there. Dinner is a series of small courses which can be paired with wines for each course. Unique to this hotel is that breakfast is fixed and presented as small courses much like as the dinner. but with breakfast type food/dishes. No wine at breakfast!

Authenticity & Character
Absolutely gorgeous inside and out.
Location
It is located on the Ullapool waterfront and very close to the ferry terminal/dock. There are interesting sites and attractions nearby.
Staff
The staff is very welcoming and personable.

Scourie

Perfectly nice hotel. Room was on the small side. Lobby and public areas make it clear that this area is ideal for fishing.

Forss House
Thurso

Forss House is tucked away in the woods off the main highway. The main house has 4 or 5 rooms and there are also cottages, popular with the fishing crowd. Our room in the main house was spacious and comfortable. For dining, there is a dining room and a conservatory (a glassed-in porch) which was especially nice for breakfast. We had dinner at the hotel that was orchestrated very well. We began in the Bar where we were served Champagne and hors d'oeuvres. Then went into the dining room for dinner. The food was exceptional. We wandered the grounds and enjoyed the waterfall and the meandering river. The gardens around the house are lovely.

Authenticity & Character

Rocpool Reserve
Inverness

We only had a one-night stay at the Rocpool Reserve. The room was very attractive and unique in that the bathroom was downstairs from the bedroom. The bathroom was the most spacious I've ever encountered! Going downstairs when nature calls in the middle of the night might not be to everyone's liking. Other rooms may not have this same configuration. It was in a convenient location for us to explore Inverness on the afternoon of our arrival. Breakfast in the morning was excellent.

Authenticity & Character
The room configuration was certainly unique. Primarily, the decor is quite lovely.
Location
It's a relatively short walk to the center of Inverness. It is quite hilly and depending on where your wanderings in town take you, the walk back to the hotel can be a bit steep.
Staff
As our stay was quite short, our interactions with the staff were quite few, but all that we encountered were gracious and friendly.

The room was very clean but the environment was a bit sterile. Given that you must drive to everywhere, we were dismayed that they didn't allow food in the room and where they allowed food, thcommon room ,appeared to be closed. And since it was marketed as a B&B, I found this a bit deceptive because they don't provide breakfast. Hosts did not check in with us.

Hi Catherine,

Thanks a million for such a lovely and thoughtful review. It was an absolute pleasure putting the trip together for you both, and I’m delighted to hear you came home with such fond memories of Ireland.

A month travelling around the country is a fair adventure, and there are always going to be one or two bumps along the way (I hope everything went ok with the car in the end!), so I’m especially glad you felt well looked after when they cropped up. It sounds like you got a great mix of history, scenery, good food, local characters and plenty of craic along the way!

I really appreciate the detailed feedback on the hotels and experiences as well. It’s incredibly useful for me when planning trips for future travellers.

Thanks again for trusting me with your Irish adventure. It was a pleasure having you both over, and hopefully we’ll see you back on the Emerald Isle again someday!
