Kimkim Trip Reviews for Australia

We had a fantastic experience with KimKim Travel planning our trip to Australia, including Melbourne and the Great Barrier Reef. The KimKim team was incredibly responsive and well organized, the collaboration between the client engagement and operations teams felt seamless from start to finish.

KimKim planned all our hotels, transports, and tours. They even booked our flight from Melbourne to Cairns. Their website was easy to use and very effective. It was so simple to make a change to the itinerary. I could do it on their site from my phone wether I was sitting in my seats at the Australian Open or in the Daintree Rainforest The whole process was smooth and stress-free—highly recommend! Shout out to the KimKim team Samantha, Lea, & Chinh....

Vicky was extremely helpful and proactive at getting us the information we needed before and during the trip.

Paula was so helpful and efficient! She had a tentative itinerary quickly created and ready to peruse. She was always available to answer questions and attend to details. When we got to Australia, we had some health hick ups and we were able to contact her workmate, Austin, and he also greatly assisted us with some changes of plans. All in all, we felt well looked after.
My recommendations would be to always check out the online reviews of the hotels and tours to make sure you are happy with the locations and details. Give yourself some leisure time to rest. Traveling is tiring

Adabco Boutique Hotel

Downstairs was nicely decorated. Staff was friendly but seemed overwhelmed. Lift broken. Breakfast served” down the street”. Broken wooden blinds in room that were very dusty. No usb connections so that hearing aids and phones could be charged. Very old tv that had to be rebooted. We left. Too boutique for us.

The local guides and experiences were outstanding, personable, educational & full of memorable adventures (wine tasting, rainforests, animal sanctuaries, local cultural events (painting class/food instruction), Great Barrier Reef, etc). Special shout out to the KimKim US ( Seine) & Australian planning representatives --they truly are a quality team with high performance. One small glitch transfer issue was discussed immediately by team members and solved. True team work! I recommend KimKim to family and especially seniors -- this is a trusted and 5 star travel experience (our 3rd trip & planning other trips).

What a relief it was to have someone or an agency helping us with the snafus that cropped up during the trip. KimKim was responsive, helpful, and exceeded my expectations in terms of rectifying issues

I am already in touch with KIMKIM about a trip to Egypt and Africa in May. Given my experience with Siena and the KIMKIM team for the trip to Australia, I know I will be in good hands on yet another continent.

Thank you SO much for all your excellent planning and responsiveness.

Hotel Review

The Langham, Sydney

Sydney

Unfortunatley, we stayed at this over-priced hotel during a time it was undergoing dining room renovations. But, even with that, the hotel is EXTREMELY expensive. And I mean expensive. We paid $230.00 for an uncomfortable dinner in a bar that consisted of two sandwiches, a quesadilla, dinner salad, and dessert. No desert. Fortunately, the travel agency we worked with reimbursed us for some of that exorbitant cost. Breakfast is $30.00 a person. It is a VERY GOOD buffet breakfast, but pricey. It is not near any restaurants, so we used Uber Eats to have meals delivered. The hotel did its best to address our dissatisfaction by comping us with one free breakfast and a room "gift" of two bottles of sparkling water and apples... But, they were patient, kind, and opened doors for us. The room was beautiful, large, and the deep soaking bathtub divine.

Authenticity & Character

Since it is a five-star hotel, the accommodations were very nice.

Location

closer to easy access to restaurants

Staff

We were high-maintenance guests.

Other than the challenges in eating, the hotel was very clean, elegant, and comfortable. But, again, it is for rich folks...

Northern Beaches & Ku-ring-gai Chase Day Trip

What was amazing about this excurion was the Ku-ring-gai Chase Forest trip. The trip to the beaches was okay, but with rain, the experiences were "dampened." But the forest? Beautiful. Unusual, Interesting insight into the Aboriginal people who once populated the land.

Sydney Opera House Visit

The one hour tour covered a lot of territory about this incredible architectural and musical masterpiece.

Blue Mountains Day Trip

The stop at the farm on the way to the mountains was fun. Not much food, just beverages and cookies, but the animals like goats, kangaroos, wombat and lizards. The mountains were beautiful! Sort of like a green Grand Canyon. The lunch was good.

Taronga Zoo Wild Australia Experience

Sydney

Our travel agency booked us for a two-hour private tour of the zoo. We didn't see much of the entire zoo, but what we did see was phenomenal. Experiences we simply cannot have in the United States. We got up close and personal with koala bears, Kangaroos, dingos, wallabies, and bilbies, as well as Penguins, exotic birds, capybaras, and baby meerkats. Our senior guide was passionate and interesting. We were thrilled with our experience.

Half Day Highlights of Sydney

Sydney

The driver did not take us back to our hotel as the reservations indicated....we had to spend $58.00 on a cab fare, for which our travel agency helped defray the cost. The tour itself was okay.

We had a great trip thanks to Siena's expertise. She had tips for every part of the trip and when we did have a small snafu, kimkim was so helpful and accommodating. Would recommend if you need help planning an Australian adventure!

The trip to Australia and the excursions were excellent and each trip had amazing guides (Steve for the rain forest and waterfall, Greg for the aborigine experience and Michael for the Great Barrier reef). Each excursion had a particluar uniqueness to it and fulfilled our interest and desires that we had expressed to KimKim. We were fortunate to have good weather and even in those rare instances when there was rain, it was manageable. Small groups are the way to go, travel was easier and there was more opportunity for interaction with the guides and other travelers. One note: we were the oldest travelers in each group and as a result, I would ask for a little slower pace or maybe an extra day to get all the experiences in. Going at a rate of 10-12 hours per day was a challenge but it was what we had asked for, next time we will adjust that. All in all, a fantastic experience and KimKim delivered not only what we had asked for and more, but an incredible memory.

We had a wonderful time in Australia, and I am so grateful for all the help and advice I received from our Kimkim advisors, most notably Siena! Everyone at Kimkim was helpful from start to finish. They were responsive to my numerable messages and queries, and I greatly appreciated that. The hotels chosen for us were perfect, just what we wanted, and the same goes for the small tours that we had in Sydney, Uluru, and Melbourne. We did not want to be on a big coach, and all the tours were just what we asked for! I have never used a travel service before, and Kimkim made all the difference for me. I will definitely be using them again.

We just returned from a fabulous holiday to Australia and New Zealand. Vicky our travel specialist and kimkim were extraordinary in accommodating our travel goals and needs. We wanted to make the most of our special holiday and therefore had a very busy trip with lots of different locations, tours, and internal flights, etc. Vicky took our ideas of what we wanted to do and accomplish and turned them into a reality. Throughout our planning and travels, the kimkim site was easy to use and Vicky was very knowledgeable and responsive. Changes in plans and schedule were managed seamlessly. We requested two bedroom three bed apartments and the lodging recommended by Vicky exceeded our expectations. Tour operators were top notch. Everything was perfect and we were glad we had Vicky and kimkim as our travel experts/consultants

Our trip to northern Queensland was excellent. Kimkim helped us plan a fantastic itinerary for our large group (7 adults, 4 kids) that fit our budget and preferences, with quick, helpful responses throughout. The local tour operators were outstanding—especially Salty Dog Kayaks, Back Country Bliss Adventures, and Sailaway Port Douglas—with the Mackay Reef snorkelling trip a standout highlight.

Our only regret was staying in Airlie Beach rather than on Hamilton Island. While Airlie and our accommodation were lovely, we underestimated how far it is from the most scenic parts of the Whitsundays. With limited time, we wish we’d paid extra to stay on one of the islands. We’d recommend future travellers stay directly on a Whitsundays island if possible.

Overall a wonderful trip to Australia. Knowledgeable guides, most tours were small, reliable drivers. Paula listen to what and wanted and expected from our trip. Would use them again.

Paula did an incredible job creating an absolute once in a lifetime vacation for me and my bestie! It was everything we asked for plus more! From climbing the Sydney Bridge to riding camels in the outback to snorkeling in the great barrier reef and sipping the delicious wines in Yarra Valley to hanging out with the locals (wallabies, Koalas, kangaroos, wombats, the list goes on). We learned so much about the Aboriginal people, the eco systems and all the different things that make Australia so unique! All of our tour guides had a real passion for what they do and you could tell none of this was a job to them, it was a passion! Paula you really brought the dream to life, thank you!!

We really enjoyed the vacation Vicky planned for us. Most memorable was the cruise/snorkeling trip - the kids and I had a great time at the reef highlighted by three sea turtles, one that came within inches of my daughter. Thanks for helping us make memories.

This was a milestone birthday and it was planned spectacularly. We had the best time and all our boxes were checked. Excellent job from Asko . He truly had everything tied up neatly without a hitch
