Kimkim Trip Reviews for Argentina

My visit to Argentina went very smoothly thanks to excellent guides Emilia, Eugenia, and driver Sergio, I was taken all over Buenos Aires and El Tigre and to a barbecue and horse training exhibition at a ranch in the pampas.

The boat ride through the delta in El Tigre was very interesting and Eugenia found me the small gifts i was looking for at a chocolate shop and a small curio shop there. She seemed to know everybody. Also visited a silversmith studio where they treated her like family.

In Uruguay my guide and driver Fabian and Javier showed me around Colonia where I had arrived by ferry from BA, then drove me to Montevideo where guide Carolina showed me the city and a cafe where the waiter demonstrated how to drink mate and how to drink it from a mate bowl.

Carolina realized at one point that July 31st is the traditional graduation day for medical students in Uruguay. Montevideo throws a huge party for them in a park downtown. So we headed off there, just to see the happy students and their families arriving. It was an unplanned experience and a lot of fun.

Guides were always willing to change things around depending on what i wanted to see at a given moment. Since my interest is photographing people, they made a point of finding places with a lot of activity.

It all went like clockwork. And it only rained for a half hour right at the end of my trip.

Rodrigo was my personal guide for three days. His historical knowledge of Argentina and Cordoba is outstanding. His presentation was professional and warmly personal to my curiosity. He made it feel like I cruising around with a new friend.

We had a fabulous trip and highly recommend kimkim

My son and I planned a trip to Iguzu Falls and Buenos Aires before his planned study abroad. His Spanish is rusty and mine is non-existent, so I booked our trip through KimKim in the hopes we’d have an easier time of things working with an English-speaking team. I was consistently and pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to work with Mery from afar. I was also always impressed with the tours and activities we participated in. We did a group tour to both the Argentina and Brazil sides of Iguazu Falls, with Daniela, our tour guide. She went above and beyond to make sure we safely got across the border, coming and going, which made us feel much more confident navigating the language barrier. Daniela also helped my son practice his Spanish, which helped him feel more prepared to start school here at the end of our visit. When in Buenos Aires, we did a half-day walking tour with Natalia, who taught us both so much about the history, culture, and language of Argentina. She gave us recommendations for movies to watch, futbol teams to cheer for, and other resources to learn more about my son’s host country. All our experiences felt cultivated just for us, and that personalization greatly enhanced our experience in Argentina. I wholeheartedly recommend!

When in Buenos Aires, we did a half-day walking tour with Natalia, who taught us both so much about the history, culture, and language of Argentina. She gave us recommendations for movies to watch, futbol teams to cheer for, and other resources to learn more about my son’s host country. She showed my son, who would be going to school in Buenos Aires after my departure, how to use public transport and get his Sube card. We saw monuments to history and the religions that influenced the beautiful city and country, learned about Tango and Mafalda and Maradona, and countless other things that make Argentina and Buenos Aires unique. I loved every second we spent with her! I wholeheartedly recommend!

Hi,
The trip was wonderful. All the transfers were excellently organized, and the people who welcomed us were truly kind and helpful. We felt truly pampered.

If I had to find any flaws, however, I'd say that assistance in case of problems was a bit difficult and inefficient. In Salta, the bus transfer was the only one that wasn't organized, and unfortunately we missed it (to Atacama). I felt like I wasn't getting much help there, and for the price we paid, I expected better efficiency.

We had to make do...

The same goes for some hotels, which weren't up to par for the price of the trip. Others, however, were really nice.

I think next time I'll use Kim Kim (say huque), more for the transfer and welcome than for anything else... thanks.

The choice of four of the most spectacular Argentinian locations (the Lake Country - Bariloche, the wine country – Mendoza, the rain forest – Iguazu, and Buenos Aires) was excellent for first-time explorers like us in the country. The Kimkim team was highly interactive, asking about and responding to our interests, suggesting locations, and working with us at every step. The team was especially responsive in working with us to revise and adapt the original plan when a significant ‘hitch’ occurred on our part.
We can’t say enough positive things about the planning and care by staff (Micaela & Julieta): every ride was there when promised, the guides (Sabrina and Rodriguez) were beyond excellent with their in-depth knowledge and interpretation, the choice of hotels (espeically the boutique hotel in Palermo/Soho and the Yurt at Pristine Camp) , and regular contact with us to make sure all was well.
Though all parts of the trip were superb, the cooking class Lamadrid Winery in Mendoza and the Iguazu Falls in Iguazu were fun and engaging.
This was our second Kimkim trip planning experience, and it’s not likely to be the last!! Thank you, Kimkim!!

Half Day Dinner & Tango Show with Lesson included

Buenos Aires

Superb! It started off with us two - 86 and 83 years young - working our way through a Tango lesson. Even have a video to share (if we choose!). Then a stage-side dinner show. Dinner was good, the Tango show (90 minutes) was fun and superb. It happened that the couple sharing our table had their daughter as a part of one of the Tango teams. That added some 'connection' for us, and after the show, we had our pictures taken with the daughter and her Tango partner.

Our trip was labeled “Unforgettable Honeymoon” on KimKim and the trip definitely lived up to its name. We had an amazing time exploring Argentina in 12 days. We were able to go to Buenos Aires, Puerto Iguazu, Mendoza, and El Calafate, but didn’t feel rushed. Our airport transfers were seamless and always on time and the hotels were perfect for each location. Joaquina was available by email when we requested a last minute change, and she even emailed halfway through the trip checking in.
We loved every place we visited. Our most memorable hotel was in Mendoza and it was perfectly scheduled as a time to relax 3/4 into our trip. Even activities we didn’t expect, like The Argentine Experience, were amazing.

Planning a trip to Patagonia is no small feat, and having the right travel agent made all the difference. From the start, they were attentive to exactly what I was looking for — the hotels and tours were perfectly matched to my preferences, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. Whenever I had questions during the trip, they were quick to respond and easy to reach. The whole experience was seamlessly organized from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again — 100%

Half-Day Buenos Aires City Tour

Buenos Aires

Our guide in Buenos Aires was absolutely wonderful — his knowledge of the city's history, architecture, and political past brought everything to life in a way no guidebook ever could. From the streets of Recoleta to the stories behind the city's iconic buildings, he made every stop genuinely fascinating. We'd book with him again in a heartbeat.

Flor is the best!! Kind, helpful, efficient!
She made everything so easy, so patient with all my questions and changes!! Our trip was amazing!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The places and experiences that made up our itinerary were excellent. We particularly enjoyed El Calafate/El Chalten. The kayaking/hiking day was amazing. And also the area around Salta - just stunning scenery. In Ushuaia, we loved the day of hiking and rafting. We did not have good luck with weather but enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. The hotels & breakfasts met our expectations - nothing disappointing. The internal flights and all the transfers went very smoothly. And the guides we had for the various things we did were really excellent. Well-informed, easy to understand, fun to be with.
The only thing we might have liked more of was a chance to walk or hike during the four days we spent in the north around Salta. We realize there were long distances to cover by vehicle and so maybe not enough time for that.

It was a wonderful trip a couple hiccups, but they’re bound to happen on a long trip like mine was. One thing I could mention is that flying from Quito to Baltra Island. I was not told there was a stop in between. I was very tired and I was dead asleep and didn’t really hear or understand the announcement and consequently when we landed I thought we were there and I got off had to book another flight myself and a hotel and get on the flight the next morning to go to Baltra while at the airport, I talked to a girl the same thing happened to her. She was not told there was a stop over and she had gone to sleep as well so.
But for the most part, the trip was wonderful. I was always picked up on time brought back the guides and the drivers were wonderful. The hotels were excellent except in QUITO I had to have cold showers. Other than that my showers were all hot, but that hotel was very nice even with the cold showers. The quality of the tours were terrific. I enjoyed every one of them one person who is very instrumental in helping me was Leo QUITO who came to the hotel and explained several things to me that I didn’t understand and that made a world of difference. I have told many many people how my tour was organized because as travelling alone, I spoke to everybody and they all wanted to know about my tour for one person for such a long period of time so I told them Kim Kim was an excellent company and I had used it a couple times before and would definitely be using it again. Weather was excellent so that was a good time to go. Things weren’t as expensive as I thought they would be food was excellent all in all. It was a trip of a lifetime thank you Dorothy McConville Vancouver Canada.

The planning done by Johanna and Kristy was very helpful, saving us time and aggravation. The logistics done by Kristy during the trip (Johanna became unavailable two weeks before the trip) were also excellent. She always quickly responded to questions or logistical issues and we could contact her at any time when needed. . When, due to previous miscommunication, a few small snafus occurred during our trip to Iguazu falls, Kristy quickly acknowledged the problems and addressed them. She was very helpful , pleasant and professional.

Exploring the Brazilian Side of Iguazu Falls

Argentina

We were supposed to visit the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls but had an issue due to not being informed about visa requirements. Although it was a shock, the team handled it well by arranging an alternative activity that turned out to be quite pleasant. Advanced notice on the visa requirement would have been better.

A Day of Adventure at Iguazu Falls: Exploring the Argentinian Side & Gran Aventura

Argentina

Exploring the Argentinian side of Iguazu Falls with the Gran Aventura was amazing in terms of the experience, but there was a bit of a hiccup regarding boat tickets for the Argentine side. We had to buy the tickets ourselves even though it was supposed to be part of the package, but Kimkim reimbursed us afterward, which was appreciated.

Everything worked like clock work. Making the plan was easy and service and execution to the plan were perfect. Response to the provided emergency number was almost instantaneous. trips are highly customizable and suggestions provided by the team were great. My second trip with Kim Kim and I recommend them to anybody.

Guides in Iguazu were informative and supportive, I would leave my greatest praise for Selena who guided us through most of the Mendoza visit.. an excellent job done by her.

The hotels were all very good as expected but the Iguazu Pristine Luxury Camp was incredible.
The food was spectacular and the service was wonderful.
The surprise to me was how interesting Salta was. The hotel was pleasant but the manager Petal was particularly lovely and helpful.
Some wonderful dinners in the Balcarce area.

Our last night was spent at the Argentine Diner Experience and was an excellent cap to the vacation. In the future one could consider that as a beginning and save the Tango night towards the end.

Communication with Say Hueque was responsive and many of our questions would have been answered if we opened the Vamoos app sooner. I suggest making it very clear to new clients how important and comprehensive the app is.

We started off in Buenos Aires with a walking food tour. Lucy was a fantastic guide, she explained their culture with such passion. Highly recommend the food tour. We enjoyed the tango dinner and dancing. Loved Palo Santo Hotel, it was quaint and comfortable. Bariloche was an incredible experience. We really enjoyed Facu, our guide for the few days we were there. So kind and personable. He went all out on our boating trip for the day, I would highly recommend the boat trip. El Chalten was stunning! Our hotel Los Cerros was very nice. Super friendly staff, the restaurant and bar was delicious . The Selena Hotel in El Calafate was a great hotel. The Glacier Trek was out of this world cool! The guides were informative and very good at what they do. The only issue we had was our pick up at the hotel was 30 minutes late so we ran the entire tour late. Leaving El Calafate and heading to Torres Del Piane was a long drive but well worth it. Our driver (we had private transfers hired through KIMKIM) was erratic and we had a few scary moments in the van., I would not recommend this driver but we don't know his name. Torres Del Piane was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Las Torres Hotel was an incredible experience. The rooms were great, the food was outstanding as were the drinks. We did the Lookout hike , Tenga Forest hike and the Lagoon excursion. All were incredible.
Leaving Torres to Puerto Natales- Our van pickup was 40 minutes late leaving us to try and find other transportation. He finally arrived and drove in a very unsafe manor to get us to the airport on time. He was going way over the speed limit. It was not appreciated at all. I would not use this driver again. Our hotel in Santiago was great. Paulo worked a miracle and got some champaign for my birthday. Hotel Ismael was very nice with great staff.
Paulo was a great tour director for our entire trip. He communicated with us often and helped us with some flight issues when the strike in Argentina occurred. It was nice to meet him in Buenos Aires, it put a personal stamp on the trip.

The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because of our transportation issues with the vans.
Wonderful trip!

The Aldebaran Hotel & Spa was very good overall, but we chose not to spend an extra night there because it was located about seventeen kilometers outside of Bariloche. We preferred being closer to town with more amenities. We were aware of its location beforehand, so it was expected. The hotel itself was great, just not as centrally located as we would have preferred.

I was lucky that I had time to travel Argentina for 9 weeks. I knew before that I wanted to visit Buenos Aires, to hike in Patagonia, to enjoy wines in Mendoza, to explore the region around Salta and to see the amazing falls of Iguazu.
With this information I started here on this site (kimkim) and asked for support. Micaela did an amazing job by putting all the things together, she even added Santiago de Chile, Puerto Varas, Bariloche and Puerto Madryn to my trip which were not in my focus. She booked all domestic flights, all accomodations and transfers (hotel <–> airport) and of course the tours.
Everything went as planned .. and whenever something changed or was not perfect (due to unforeseen circumstances) Milagros took care about it, organized it and led me know of the newest state.
There were no negative surprises .. all went as expected. For me it would have been nearly impossible to put all the pieces together and to deal with changes during my trip .. you made my travel so easy! Thank you, Micaela and Milagros, for your work and effort before and during my trip!
