We had a great experience from the personalized and customized planning process, to the ongoing interaction leading up to the trip to ensure that all of our questions were answered, and the near perfect execution. All of the accommodations suited our style, except for perhaps in Ushuaia and Bariloche (which was a bit dated). The tours were excellent. The guides were very professional overall. The Vamoos app was extremely helpful to keep us on track since this was a long trip. A learning for us, and perhaps for future clients, would be to explain in detail what some of the tours entailed, since we had scheduled a private tour that included 6-8 hours in a car. Fortunately we were able to amend this with the local guide. Overall it was a great experience, and we have recommended KimKim to many of our friends, and one of them has already booked their next trip through you! Thank you. Paul & Hélène

We utilized this service for first time travel to South America. It was convenient and saved a lot of time we didn't have researching and booking. Not knowing the cost of each component of the trip made it hard to make decisions. Not knowing the fees of the agency makes it difficult to know whether there is value in this service for next time. More communication on where to spend/save money would have been needed to use this service again. There was one major mistake that we had to scramble to fix ourselves. The agency did what they could to make it right, but just didn't have the local knowledge or influence to make it happen. It had to be done by us at the locale and with our airlines. It all worked out, but was effort by us with the airlines and hotel we booked directly. Overall, the trip was amazing and there was some time saved and convenience from the service. If money is no object and you have no time to do any self planning or you simply have no idea about the place you're going. this may be the way to go, otherwise a well plotted trip utilizing hotel concierge service may work as well and cheaper. Getting what we needed from KimKim on the Wtrek i feel made it worth it this time. Kristy stepped in about halfway through our trip and was awesome.

We worked with kimkim and Matias to book our honeymoon to Argentina after work and wedding planning got too busy to tackle it ourselves. There was very limited time to plan and Matias was patient with us and accommodating to our various requests and edits, but there were also some mixups - for example, the first trip Matias planned was far more expensive than expected. We said that and worked out a different trip, which somehow came in at an even higher price point. At that point, I asked to see the price breakdown and from there was able to make decisions to get us to a budget we were more comfortable with. It was still higher than I hoped to spend, but we figured that was the price for waiting until the last minute.

Overall, the trip itself was great. Some really amazing experiences that I don't know we would've found ourselves include the tour to milongas with a professional tango instructor, the food tour of Palermo, and the wine tours in Mendoza. There is not a lot of English in Argentina and we don't speak much Spanish, so it was helpful to be paired with English speaking guides. It was also a relief to know our internal flights and hotels were taken care of, and all we had to do was show up!

This was our first time working with a travel agency and not the usual way we travel, so there were some bumps in the road, but overall we are very grateful to kimkim and Matias for making our honeymoon so memorable, and thank you Matias for sharing the best of Argentina with us! We hope for many trips back some day.

Hey there Katie & Mike!

Wow, your message just made my day! 😄 I'm so thrilled to hear that you and Mike had an unforgettable honeymoon in Argentina. Planning can be a rollercoaster, and I appreciate your patience as we ironed out the details.

Those special moments you highlighted - the tango instructor, the Palermo food tour, and the wine adventures in Mendoza - I'm grinning ear to ear knowing you loved them! It warms my heart to have been a part of curating those experiences for you.

I totally get it, navigating a new country with a different language can be a bit tricky, but I'm stoked the English-speaking guides made everything smoother. And hey, I'm super glad you found comfort in just showing up and enjoying, that's what a honeymoon is all about, right?

Your kind words mean the world to me, and I'm genuinely touched to have played a role in making your honeymoon special. Here's to many more incredible adventures for you two in the future! 🌟✈️

If you ever decide on a round two in Argentina or anywhere else, I'm here to make it even more epic.

A fun day rafting and trekking in the Andes. The trekking included rappelling which could be a lot of fun. However, the guides had trouble explaining the steps. When I observed from the bottom as others were beginning their descent it was clear that the instructor missed explaining a fundamental point that would have made it easier for everyone. The rafting was fun. A better explanation of what was required of us and what would be provided wold have been helpful.

Their advice was right on about the key things to see in the places we picked.
They were accomodative to the changes we made before the trip due to preferences, just before the trip due to airline schedule changes and during the trip due to weather issues.
Kristy also helped us get the flight changes we needed when Aerolineas was not being responsive.
She even helped us pick the restaurants that cater to our vegan preference.
Of the tour agents they picked for us, Piratour to Isla Martillo were the best.
Both Thomas the tour guide and the ladies at Haberton marine mammal museum were quite informative and awesome.
Sabrina was an excellent tour guide at Buenos Aires, very knowledgable, patient and took us to off-beat interesting spots in the San Telmo and La Boca neighborhoods
Visits on our own to the 3 places Kristy recommended were definitely worthwhile - Glaciarium at Calafate, Casa Botella and Tres Fronteras at Iguazu falls.
Word of caution to other vegans - Vegan restaurants are hard to find outside Buenos Aires - do your research ahead of time.
El Chalten has only 1 but it's awesome - Curcuma! Iguazu falls has only 1, and average at best, on the Argentina side.
There are more vegan choices on the Brazil side of Iguazu falls. The one recommended by our side, Gilderlei, Cantina de Bea was very good.
Another word to the wise: We wish our Spanish ability were better. While the tours were bilingual, we kept wondering if we were missing anything.
In the shops, restaurants and on the streets we found very few english speakers, even in the Buenos Aires Metropolis.
Google translate was quite inefficient at best and useless where there was no internet connection.

Our itinerary included Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Salta, Mendoza, Calafate, El Chalten and Ushuaia. All the guides and agents hired by Kimkim were exceptional, professional and accomodating. Thanks to our BA driver, Carlos who was always prompt and engaging. The following guides are highly recommended:
- Patricio, our BA bike guide, introduced us to mate and alfajores!!
- Roxanne in Iguazu,
- Juan Rios in Salta (House of Jasmines is a fantastic estancia - one of our favorites)
- Tessa (our wine guide) and Ricky (our whitewater rafting guide) in Mendoza
- Alejandro in El Chalten - He tracked us down to make sure we were getting taken care of!!
- Gabriel in Ushuaia for a very adventurous hike to Laguna Esmeraldo, our Rumbo Sur guide and driver to Tierra del Fuego National Park and of course, the guides and Penguins on Isla Martillo!
- Finally, our estancia tour, horseback ride and barbeque at the ranch in San Antonio de Areco. Wonderful way to end our trip!!

Francesca from KimKim gould not have done a better job. She has excellent knowledge of Argentina and the excursions we wanted to do. Also thanks to Kristy for her follow up and assistance. I would highly recommend KimKim especially Francesca.

Hotel Review
Hotel Las Torres Patagonia
Torres del Paine

We loved the accommodations and all of our excursions in the park during our all-inclusive stay at Hotel Las Torres, but were disappointed by their lack of flexibility for vegetarian and vegan diets. They were totally unwilling to make any menu changes for us (such as making a plate of gnocchi with red sauce or serving us a side of french fries, despite all of the ingredients being available with meat-based dishes), so we had to eat the same couple of meals over and over. Given that there is nowhere else to get food while you are staying in the park (and Chile is very strict in what you can bring over the border if you are coming from Argentina), this made for a less than ideal all-inclusive experience.

I originally planned my Argentina trip for last year, when a Google search recommended Buenos Aires for a November vacation. Another Google search directed me to kimkim as I frankly didn’t know much where to go in Argentina. The trip was planned and then…life got in the way. My kimkim advisor at the time worked with kimkim, pushing out my final payment a week or so, until I had to finally make the decision to postpone the trip. I was pleased with how easily this was done.

Fast forward several months later – I reached back out and was connected with Matias. I made some tweaks to the original itinerary, finally settling on Buenos Aires, Iguazú Falls and the Salta area. I’m so happy I went with Matias’ suggestions – he fit so much into a very short time frame. I was travelling alone and requested a mix of private and group tours to help bring down the cost when available. Matias was usually quick to respond to my comments – even when I said it was no rush! In fact, Matias even let me know he would be traveling himself a few weeks before my own trip in case I had to reach him. I have no complaints about anything – I was met at each airport, my guides and drivers were all fantastic (special shout out to my Salta guide, who had to put up with me for several days :-)) They even took care of some of my dinner and tango show reservations. It was truly a worry free vacation! I’m not sure if the app is something all kimkim vendors use or it was just Matias’ group, but it was very helpful and I referred to it often. The app was also where all flight information was posted.

I will plan on using kimkim again for future trips around the world and highly recommend working with Matias when traveling around Argentina – you won’t be disappointed!

We spent a month in Argentina and 10 days we were on a kimkim tour.

Our tour started in Salta. Our itinerary said that our tour operator was Signature Tours, but in fact it was Altiplano Travel. This was the start of the errors with our kimkim tour.

We were picked up from our hotel for a tour to Salinas Grandes and Purmamarca. The tour leader only spoke Spanish and we triple checked that we were on the correct tour. We were assured that we were on his list. So, for about 2 hours we listened to Spanish, which we didn’t understand and missed all of the information about the area.

We took a 4 hour Salta city tour one day that was also all in Spanish, so we didn’t learn anything. We had a young man accompany us as an “interpreter”. He was a nice kid who was still in high school and knew conversational English and was totally lost with translating. Our Spanish guide spoke and we got a 1-2 word translation. Again we had no information. I’m not sure why they even put us on the tour!

We then went on a 12 hour Spanish speaking tour to Cafayate with our “translator” who wasn’t able to translate. This section of road has been described as an “epic once in a lifetime road trip”, which we were not able to learn about! Super frustrating!! Kimkim did not deliver the English speaking guides that were promised and by this omission, left us unable to learn about the places we had flown so far to see!

Our tour Hornocal (14 Colors Mountain) was great when we were provided with and English speaking guide. We stopped at little villages along the way and the guide helped us order a delicious meal. The mountain was amazing!

We next went to Iguazu to stay at the Mercure Iguazu Hotel. When we arrived at the hotel we were told that our hotel had not been prepaid. The confirmation number we had from kimkim meant nothing and we had to pay again. Thank goodness we were set up to be able to do that! We received an apology from kimim for their error and eventually received a refund on our card.

The tour of Iguazu was great with a very good guide. We walked the upper and middle trails and then went on an exciting boat ride to the falls. The next day we visited the Brazilian side.

Argentina was our third kimkim tour. Myanmar and Colombia tours were 5 star excellent, but this one missed the mark by a long way!! I was very disappointed with this trip!

Dear Bonnie,
We are deeply saddened to hear about the challenges you faced during your recent trip to Argentina. We have thoroughly investigated the issues you encountered, and our local team has provided us with a detailed explanation of the circumstances that led to the unfortunate situations.

For the tours in Salta, according to our vendor, there was an unexpected health issue with the designated English guide for your regular excursions, which prompted the last-minute arrangement of an additional translator. Regrettably, due to the busy season and prior commitments of the other English-speaking guides, the options were limited. We acknowledge that the translator did not meet your expectations, and we understand the frustration this must have caused. Our local team should have informed us of this change so that we could have checked in with you to make sure you were okay with it.

Since no concerns were expressed at that time, our local team assumed it was alright. We apologize for the inconvenience this caused, and we agree that had we been made aware of the issues earlier, we could have taken immediate action to rectify the situation and ensure a more fulfilling experience for you.

We greatly value your feedback and have taken your comments into serious consideration. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused during your trip.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to make amends and provide you with a more seamless and enjoyable experience in the future.

Also the itinerary was well-thought out and sensibly organized, giving us enough time to enjoy every stop and every highlight, of which the Salt Flats and the mountains of Hornacal were among our favorites.
Our one criticism is that the pick-up in which we traveled was too small for 4 guests: the three people in the back were cramped and uncomfortable.
Our Kim specialist, Agustina, was fantastic: responsive, thoughtful, friendly. Thank you!
