Kimkim Trip Reviews for Argentina

We had an amazing trip in Argentina and Chile for our honeymoon thanks to Camila, who was great to work with and happily handled all of our annoying requests to totally change locations, activities, trip dates, and more. Everything went off without a hitch during the trip as well, including airport pickups, transfers between locations, and all of our guided activities. Camila even helped us arrange a pickup from a totally different airport at a different time when we decided at the last minute to change to an earlier flight to Buenos Aires. We will definitely be working with Camila for our next trip to Argentina!

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!

It was so nice to have the freedom to do the activities we wanted to to but also have the security of knowing you were being looked after and the convenience of all the transfers at airports and hotels. All of our guides were helpful and informative. We did have one issue with a hotel and Julian and Ana did a great job of getting us re-situated in a new hotel within 2 hours! The next night we received a complimentary bottle of wine for our inconvenience.

Matías was simply amazing! From day one in the planning process to the continuing support while in country, to the ENTIRE team on the ground in Argentina! I wouldn’t, couldn’t recommend any other agency! Just over and above service for the entire experience…..

Kim Kim recommended the best of the best. My mom and I had an incredible experience, with the best service and everything went smooth. Thank you Kim Kim!

First thank you to Ana from Cordoba who made this trip for us. 👏👏👏

So many people to thank and names I might have missed. But I will start with my accommodations. Whether it’s a 5 star hotel or air bnb, I was given that served it purpose well for me. Aside from great hotels like Llao Llao in Bariloche, Alto Andino in Ushuaia and Senderos Hosteria in El Chalten are nice.

Valeria our tour guide for Iguazu falls was superb including our drivers. Nahuel made our Food tour in Buenos Aires extra educational and lots of new information.

Tour guide and driver for Buenos Aires city tour I will recommend to friends.

L Hotel Palermo, especially Julia and colleagues are extra accommodating with our needs. Like looking for a saloon and others.

Thank you so much ! Although I am still in my next 10 days in Brazil, I really am so happy and all my pictures sent to you will say it.

Ana was amazing in putting together our trip to Patagonia. She was prompt to respond and organized an amazing itinerary, exactly what I wanted. The guides were very knowledgeable, kind and responsive. I lost my phone, by contacting the urgent line I had it back by the next day. Will certainly book with them again for my next adventure

We had a wonderful time in Argentine. Ana and her team put together an itinerary that ensured that we saw the best that the country had to offer. From vibrant cities to high altitude Andean towns and villages, from glaciers & icebergs to verdant rainforest and the unforgettable Iguazu Falls, we were constantly stunned and amazed by the share scale, grandeur and beauty of Argentine.
On top of this, we quickly discovered how helpful and tourist friendly the Argentinian people are. Add good quality food and amazing wine to the mix and you can see how we fell in love with Argentina and her people.
Highlights for us included:
 El Calafate – being able to get so close to the glaciers and icebergs was breathtaking.
 Salta – a gem of a city surrounded by unbelievable natural beauty.
 Iguaza – simply stunning!
We would like to thank Ana, Clementina and everyone else who played a part in organising our trip. We don’t really want to single out any one individual as everyone was excellent!

We had a wonderful experience with Anahi, or “Ana,” our tour guide in Buenos Aires. She gave us an insider experience to north and south Buenos Aires, making sure we hit all of the main destinations as well. Recoleta Cemetery was also an amazing experience, not to be missed.

Miriam, our guide to the Pampas, was very friendly and informative. She made sure we had a chance to see a local metalsmithing workshop, which my husband and kids adored (my husband is a metalsmith and my kids love watching anyone make anything). The calm and nature experience of the estancia was incredibly special, with the horse riding and horse demonstration sure to be loved by all. Not to mention the delicious asada lunch!

Our tour guide in Iguazu, Laura, was incredible. She knew everything about everything, from the falls to the bird park. She made extra sure to schedule and plan according to our family’s needs and abilities. The falls are breathtaking, and it is totally worthwhile to experience from both sides.

I would not hesitate to recommend this trip!

This was an extremely enjoyable and well-organized trip. Our local guide, Federico Ramirez, was knowledgable, friendly, hospitable, professional. The two hotels we stayed at were extraordinary; beautiful, comfortable, with wonderful staff and great breakfasts. 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!

My two boys and I had an incredible experience with our trip to Argentina and I would highly recommend anyone planning to visit Argentina to work with KimKim and Say Hueque. I found their local knowledge and planning to be top quality. I found KimKim by searching for "fun things to do in Argentina", and quickly became overwhelmed on what to do and the coordination of moving the three of us around the country during our two-week vacation which led me to reach out to them.

The first reply to my inquiry after putting out our dates and things we "had" to see was met with a friendly reply. A day later I had a couple of different itinerary options to choose from. We narrowed that down and then we selected hotels, again, from several recommended options.

The trip was booked and when we arrived, Julietta met us. She immediately took us to our driver and was full of information on our way to the hotel. Julietta helped us check-in and then gave me one of the most detailed maps of fun things to do in the city, with post-it-notes, that I have ever seen. Julietta is awesome and a wealth of information.

We had a trip to Calafate and unfortunately a storm passed Buenos Aires and shut everything down at the airport. The Say Hueque Client Services was in constant contact via WhatsApp and once the flight cancellation was confirmed, they arranged shuttles and new hotel stays for us until they were able to reschedule our excursions and accommodations in El Calafate. Without their services the experience would have been a nightmare.

I work in the tourism industry in Costa Rica and clients are quick to let folks know when things go wrong or don't meet expectations, so I want to give a five-star review for the seamless and professional travel experience we received. Booking the hotels and excursions with Mery, working with Felipe before and during our stay, Julietta (Buenos Aires) and Eduardo (Calafate) as guides were the best, I could have hoped for plus all the drivers for transfers really made this a memorable vacation for us.

If you want to have an amazing stay in Argentina, take the advice from the professionals who live there. Looking forward to going back again one day. -KC

Francesca planned a fantastic honeymoon for us in Argentina! She was also very helpful when booking domestic flights.
We traveled to Buenos Aries and stayed at a Krista boutique hotel. We explored the city with a private tour guide (Jessica) who was amazing and very knowledgeable about the history of Buenos Aries. While we were there we also saw an excellent Tango show.
From there we traveled to Bariloche and stayed at an older hotel Tirol with perfect views, great walking distance to downtown, and a great breakfast! We skied at Cerro Cathedral, which was very crowded and I would recommend getting the priority lift pass to not spend a lot of time in line. Our guide Nestor was great! He was very accommodating and easygoing!
Our next stop was Wine County, Our hotel Casa de Uco was fantastic and we wish we got to spend more time there. Our guide for the wine tours Tessa was great and very helpful when sending wine home.

ALL of our drivers/ guides from Signature Tour were amazing and we would not have gotten around Argentina without them!

We would use Kim Kim and Francesca again!

I am impressed by how many people worked in a flawless coordination to make my short post-conference trip exceptionally memorable and enjoyable. People clearly put their hearts into their work. From the first phone contact to the last taxi drop off at the airport, I felt the attention and the sincere wish to share the beauty of the country. I won’t name any names though, because many deserve to be named and I am guaranteed to misspell at least one name ;)

Full-Day Tour in Areco & Estancia

Buenos Aires

Visiting craftsmen and craftswomen in Areco was very interesting. I did most of my gift shopping there - much more authentic than in Buenos Aires. You can use a credit card if you prefer not to carry too much cash with you. The best part of the visit to the Estancia was the horse ride. It's such a relaxing outdoors activity. I wish I had an option of a longer ride. The music and the performance were great as well. Seeing a family with a kid and his friend made it even better. It was a real thing, not a theater

The guide suggested an earlier start, which was amazing because I got to see the stars of the south (he even stopped the car so that I could enjoy the moment on the dark road), I watched the sunrise in the mountains, got the best light for the photographs and we were there before the crowds flooded the place. Besides, Javier is an incredible person. His mountaineering and other life experiences and his life views make him a very interesting person to talk to.

We just got back from 2 weeks in Argentina, with brief side excursions to Brazil and Uruguay. Jessica and Kristy helped plan out all the details and everything went smoothly. Even though we speak a little bit of Spanish, the english speaking guides were much appreciated. The guided cemetery tour of Recoleta had so much interesting historical information that we would have missed if we had visited on our own. Also the Gaucho ranch tour, along with the visits to the local artisans in San Antonio de Areco, was amazing. Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls and Colonia, Uruguay all in one trip! We felt so lucky to be able to take it all in with a relaxed attitude because we knew all the details and transfers were taken care of by Kim Kim.
We would not hesitate to book with them again!

Our trip ( my husband and myself) was a dream come through. I have absolutely no negative comments re the organization of our trip by Ana. Ana answered all our queries promptly before our trip . All the drivers and guides - Fabio, Andrea , In Buenos Aires,Daniel in Mendoza, Aljender in El Calafate and Manuel in Igwazu Falls were all professional and went out of their way to make sure that we were always comfortable and made the experience an unforgettable one. ( I have forgotten some names-Sorry ).
The only thing I can complain is that as a tourist who wanted to see as much as possible we always had to fly through Bueno Aires airport so a lot of time was wasted in airports. However this seems to be unavoidable.
I recommend booking through KIMKIM as it went as smooth as possible. I have no second thoughts of giving them FIVE STARS.

We had a fantastic experience in Argentina - such an incredible country with such warm people and incredible landscapes!

A huge thank you to Kristy and Francesca who planned our trip tailored to our interests and set us up with very informative local guides at each place (we did Bariloche, Mendoza, Salta & Iguazu). They were available on text for any change in schedules, other issues and we always felt we were in good hands.

Would highly recommend using the KimKim team for trips to South America!

First and foremost, our trip was incredible. A once and a lifetime experience, and for this we owe huge thanks to Augustina and Herve! Augustina was the most incredible local agent, all of the hotels, tours and trips were incredible and beyond what we could have found or planned ourselves. Any issues or dilemmas we found ourselves in, from trying to find a last minute rental car, to figuring best routes to drive at particular parts in the country with no mobile data available, Augustina was on it ASAP and had us back relaxing and stress free! This was our first trip to South America, coming all the way from Ireland, thus we were incredibly grateful for the check-ins to see how we were doing, assuring we were having the best time possible and the overall kindness shown by both Augustina and Herve, answering any silly questions we had along the way.

They genuinely cared about us having the most amazing experiences on our adventure, and could feel this care from the moment we started planning the trip with them to the moment we arrived back home.

We could not have asked for better support in our first trip to Argentina, and would recommend KimKim (and Agustina and Herve) to anyone looking to have an unforgettable adventure!

After some short correspondence about our interests and travel style he put together a wonderful itinerary that included 6 wineries and a day of exploring the mountains, a lovely hotel and time to explore the city on our own.. We were met promptly at the airport by our driver, Gutiamo
who would be our driver for most of our stay in Mendoza. The Diplomatic Hotel was very nice and centrally located. The winery tours exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Clarisa took us to 3 exceptional and unique wineries each day. The wine pairing lunches each day were excellent. Matias was our guide to the Andes and although we had some car problems everything was solved seamlessly.

Mendoza Premium Wine Tour

Mendoza

Our guide, Clarissa, and driver, Gujillrmo were excellent, very friendly, informed and helpful. It was booked as a small group tour but we ended up being the only ones on the tour. The winery tours were very well selected for their variety and uniqueness. Each tasting was very informed and we were able to take out time and never felt rushed. The tastings were small, never more than 6 people and at one tasting, we were the only ones. The wine paring lunch was excellent, set in the beautiful outdoor terrace.

Premium wines of Uco Valley

Mendoza

Our driver, Gujillrmo and Guide, Clarissa were excellent. Both were friendly and knowledgeable. Although they were always prompt, we never felt rushed. The three wineries were each very different but all excellent. The tastings were informed and relaxed. Our wine pairing lunch was exceptional.

Aconcagua Park: private tour to America's highest peak

Mendoza

I might have given 4 instead of 5 because there were car problems and we did not get to see Punta de Inca. But, our guide, Matias, and driver were so proactive in getting the car problem resolved that the tour still deserves a 5. We did see Aconcagua, spent 3 hours in the park. Our car problem gave us some extra time to explore Uspllata.
