This trip exceeded all of our expectations. I will use KimKim anytime I do a trip like this. And I will recommend you to my friends. The locations suggested to us by Anita were amazing. Her responsiveness and complete answers no matter what we asked were so appreciated. We particularly loved shopping, touring and eating in Porto, the challenging but gorgeous Sintra hike and our wonderful guide Felis, the great tour with our guide Telma of the Duro Valley and wineries. Breakfast at our Lisbon hotel, Heritage Avenida Liberdade was outstanding but our favorite hotel of the whole trip was the exquisite Eden Boutique Hotel in Boumaine Dades. The owner of the hotel gave us a personal tour of the property and we hope to come back some day. Alex of Lisbon Walker gave us a great tour of Lisbon-- we really felt like we understood the city, and Portugal, afterwards. Our hotel in Porto was great and Manuel gave us a comprehensive orientation and wide-ranging tour. Obidos wasn't that great a stop -- so crowded and our driver Nuno was a bit negative. Our hotel in the Algarve, the Lagos Avenida was so well located and beautiful, with a great rooftop pool and terrific breakfasts. We really enjoyed our 4x4 Algarve Sunset experience and our terrific guide, Carlos. We loved him. We also really enjoyed our Catamaran Excursion--it was a gorgeous day and very comfortable and fun ride. We hiked by ourselves to many beaches in the Algarve and had lots of fun shopping. We wouldn't have changed anything in Portugal really. We are very glad we got to Morocco and especially liked and appreciated Abdulla our guide for our multi-day trip to the desert. He was so interesting and fun to be with. He gave us a wonderful understanding of Berber culture and we will always be grateful for that. He became our friend. Our driver was also really wonderful --I'm sorry I can't remember his name but he was a great driver and very kind to us. As you know, we had an unfortunate incident on the way into our hotel in Marrakesh. My husband was pushed by a man in the alley lunging for his wallet who also hit my daughter. When we finally made it to the hotel they didn't seem to understand what had happened to us and took a very long time --almost an hour to get us into our rooms because hotel staff was busy with other guests. Also the riad we stayed at the first time didn't have the pool we had seen in the pictures and the breakfast service in the morning was terribly slow and the food not that great. We were never offered eggs but we overheard later that they were available. We probably should not have arrived that late into Marakesh and I wouldn't stay at that location again. They were very nice the second time we stayed there, moving us to better rooms than the first time but in general we wouldn't have stayed that close to the palace and the souk if it meant we had to walk that far down alleys from where the car dropped us to the hotel front door. We really appreciated the hands on support we got from Youssef who came with us on our last night shopping in the souk. He was very friendly and professional, and made us feel very safe. We enjoyed buying rugs from Omar in the rug collective but left thinking we probably didn't get that great a deal there. We're hoping the quality made the price worth buying there rather than from someone else in the souk. Our food tour with Morocccan Food Adventures in Marrakesh was probably the highlight of our time there. I can't remember our guide's name but he took us to such great places--it was delightful and we would recommend it to anyone. Our transfers between places were all great, everyone on time, and sending me texts the night before confirming. All the transfers were very professional and made everything happen so smoothly. I'm happy to say that early on my family wasn't sure it would be worth it to use a whole day in the car driving to the desert. But afterwards they said they couldn't believe they saw everything they saw and are so glad they went. It was stunning. The camel ride was longer than I understood it to be and was a little bit difficult and painful to stay on the saddle for some of the girls. But the ATV ride at sunset was beyond great. Our guides were terrific and the experience and views were spectacular. Thank you Anita, Espiritu, and KimKim for arranging such a memorable trip for the six of us!

The hotels that Olivia had chosen for us were perfect for what we needed and were doing while we were there, close to the train stations and sight seeing venues. Olivia was really good at getting back to us if we had questions. There was a bit of confusion with one of our tours but it was quickly remedied. The drivers and quides that we had would always text us the day prior to let us know where to meet and to give us any further information we'd need. The only thing I wish is that we would have seen the fall colours but the heatwave they were having during our stay caused the leaves on the trees to stay green so alas that was not meant to be. Next time.....

When a typhoon closed the Yokohama port, delaying our initial arrival by two days, Katsu was able to make adjustments to our itinerary quite quickly... allowing very little impact to our experience.

Shawna was amazing to work with. Very articulate and patient, a wealth of knowledge and flexible. Every aspect, door to door, was thought of and executed. Bosco who met us at the airport, along with Oscar our driver, provide us with a readers digest version of some of the cities culture, history and politics. It was intriguing and fasinating. He assisted with our check in and a couple days later, retrieved us to head to the airport on our way to Cusco. He provided a breakfast pack for us. He checked us in and walked us all the way to TSA. Nothing short of a class act.

We were glad we met with Shawna in Lima the first full day there. She took us to an excellent coffee shop and then to a shop where enjoyed the most tasty chichoron sandwich. This was all before Nancy, our foodie and historian guide took us on a 6 hour city tour that both educated us and introduced our pallet to amazing cuisine. She too demonstrated her passion for her culture and region.

Once in Cusco Cesar our guide and ODee our driver could not had been more fun, knowledgeable and accommodating. Cesar is the epitome of the consummate guide. Expert level with every level of our trip locations and expert level of working with people. Our trip was made all the better and memorable because of him. We even met some of his family in Machu Picchu. We were dazzled by his ease of explaining everything and sharing so many insights of each of our destinations. They will never be forgotten.

Once back in Cusco, Juan, our guide seemed to be cut from the same cloth as Cesar. Attentive, humorous and sincere. Super knowledgeable and patient and accommodating. He checked us in for our flight back to lima.

We haven't stop raving about our trip, kimkim, our agent, guides and drivers to whoever will listen. And, of course, we share the great experience we had in Peru. It's culture, history, people and amazing sites.

Thank you all so much. We have so much love and respect for you and your country.

This B&B was breathtaking! The B&B had someone carry our bags down the stairs to our room and the entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The common space at the hotel was absolutely gorgeous and very peaceful. Our room was very beautiful with an incredible balcony and view. The bathroom was a little tight and strangely did not have much privacy however, it was still very nice. Breakfast was so nicely served to our room each morning and we got to choose as much food as we wanted! It was so nice to sit out on our balcony and eat every morning. I was surprised when we walked in the room that it was different from what was pictured on the itinerary however, it was still very nice. A wonderful surprise at the end of our stay was a gift of lemon pasta from the staff as we checked out. It was just one of the many impressive touches this B&B had.

This boat tour was a once in a lifetime experience!! The boat was comfortable and the driver of the boat, Enzo, was very good! He made the ride super smooth and even when navigating some waves, I never felt like the boat ride was choppy. Guilia, our guide, was extremely informative and very helpful throughout. She communicated via WhatsApp with us and this helped us to feel super comfortable and confident in being in the correct spot for the boat. We were able to stop in Capri for 3 hours and then we were able to go for a quick swim in a great, secluded spot, near the coast. There was a champagne toast during the ride and a limoncello toast with a biscuit. We were lucky and ended up meeting the nicest people on the boat with us that day.

This tour was very unique and unexpected! This tour helped us to see the beauty and the amazing culture and history of Naples. All the stops were delicious and there were plenty of them, including a nice surprise of a limoncello stop. Very unique food items that we would never have thought to stop at if we didn't have this tour. The timing of the tour was perfect with it being at night-time. The streets of Naples really come alive at night!! My only "negative" comment is that some of the stops felt a bit "tourist trappy" and at 2 of the stops, the workers there were trying to get us to buy other stuff instead of just letting us be on the tour. What we were alerted to as "tourist traps" from locals appeared to fit the bill at the fried pizza and the regular pizza stops. Despite this, all the food was still very delicious!

The tour of wineries in the Douro Valley was an amazing day thanks to our guide. We regularly relied on Rick Steves walking tours to navigate thru cities and sites of interest, supplementing your information on places to see. A detailed map can be very helpful. We really enjoyed two and a half days of hiking in the Pyrenees Mountains near Sort with a wonderful guide. We also had a morning of birdwatching there with a guide, seeing kettles of Vultures over the mountain ridges. We also really enjoyed listening to Fado music performed at the hotel in Porto. We went to flamenco performances on two nights in Grenada. All in all we had a wonderful, very enjoyable trip. Thanks for working so well with Ruth and Adrian in setting this up.

We are so glad we made the decision to go through kimkim for our trip to Italy. It was very daunting to coordinate all the accommodations, excursions, and transportation in four different cities in a different country but Manuela did a great job easing our worries. Manuela curated an exact experience we were looking for with safe and comfortable accommodations, seamless transportation, and desirable experiences that brought in history, romance, and adventure. Any questions we had were answered promptly. There were many logistics to plan out with our itinerary and every single one happened without an issue. The only recommendation we have is to include the name of the company for any of the excursion to make finding who we need to meet easier. Oftentimes there were multiple tour companies at the same meeting spot and the same time and when we didn’t have a name of the guide, it would’ve been helpful to know the name of the company to ask around. Thank you so much, Manuela and the kimkim team for making our 5 year anniversary a trip of a lifetime.

Such a cute and intentional B&B. Breakfast was phenomenal. Would not recommend for someone without a car but wanting to explore Cinque Terre as it’s not in a convenient location to get to the train station. However, they are kind enough to offer bikes if desired. Unfortunately going through a travel agent was a downfall as we found out when we were there that there is helpful information they typically provide to their guests (transportation from the train station at arrival, reservations at highly sought after restaurants, etc.) that was not passed along to us.

Plus we had to bring the key to the front desk everyday so they could clean the room and then pick it up from them again.

We lucked out and the weather was sunny and lovely each day and the traffic was MUCH less crowded then in the summer months. The color changes of the trees was beautiful. We really appreciated Andreea listening to what we needed and didn't need in accomodations and tours. My husband and I are 76 and 79, and having Kim Kim help plan out the hikes, tours, and places to stay and visit, made the trip so much more relaxing and enjoyable. The driving was great and Kim Kim has helped plan trips for us in the past and will again in the future. We don't travel with a group , just the two of us or maybe one other couple, and Kim Kim has always come through for us: Iceland, Arctic Circle in January in Norway (yep, January, and it was incredible), Quebec City/Montreal.

This place was very nice, the rooms were probably one of the nicest we stayed in on our trip, but I was surprised that the bathroom had tubs that were so high and with no safety grab bars, that my husband couldn't take a shower because he has had two hip replacements, and without at least some bar to grab on and with the very high sides to the tub, it would be dangerouse. The staff was very helpful .

We had two excursions in Lagos but felt the second one that you planned was too similar to the first. We felt this should have been picked up by one of your staff and we could have ordered something different. The sunset tour which took place first, was quite uncomfortable for that long of a drive and we were advised a picnic was to be provided but we were given a full meal which was great. Our only problem with this tour is we were not advised of the length of time and we were not prepared with jackets or sweaters to be driving late at night - a note should be sent to people taking this to advise to bring something warm. The jeep was quite uncomfortable for the length of time as well. The second tour our guide Rue was very accommodating. We experienced a wonderful unplanned trip after he spoke with uas and it was decided that the previous days excursion was too similar. He took us to some wonderful areas in the region and showed so much passion for what he was showing us. We called it "Rue's Romantic Tour" He was awesome and
so was his boss for allowing him to do something different with us. Thank you - It truly was a trip to remember.
