A long-dreamed of trip to the Galápagos comes true thanks to Alvaro and KimKim
Galapagos Islands

Jun 11 - Jun 22, 2023
We decided in February to plan a family trip to the Galápagos Islands in June. I was overwhelmed by the prospect of researching such a trip, and turned to KimKim for help. Alvaro reached out to me in less than 24 hours with a jam-packed itinerary that was very insightful. He notes from the questionnaire that we were traveling with 2 teenagers, and intuitively booked us 2 rooms at all our hotels to ensure some space and privacy. He met with us via zoom to go over the itinerary, and we tweaked it accordingly. We had a wonderful trip! Alvaro was VERY quick to respond with an informative answer to any message I sent during our travels. The local guides that we encountered were a wealth of information, and took great care of us. Toward the end of our trip, my husband had a 24 hour stomach illness, and electrolytes and over-the-counter remedies were delivered to the hotel for him, initiated and arranged by the local guides. I will happily use KimKim again, and refer them to all my friends.
Hotel Review
Very comfortable, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. Breakfast had a wide variety of offerings.

We're thrilled that almost everything went above and beyond to ensure your family's comfort by booking two rooms at all the hotels. Having some space and privacy is essential, especially when traveling with teenagers. I always like to... Read more
