After 3 flightss to get to San Pedro de Atacama, it was great surprise to see the service and how helpful was the GM (Rosario Villagra) and her entire staff at Nataya Alto Atacama Hotel. All the excursions we picked were well planned and every guide was fenomenal, they considered my disabilities and supported me thruout the trip. The hotel beautiful location and facilities are above many. The hotel restaurant had a different menu for each meal daily and still provided enough selections for... read more

Dream vacation in Chile and our local specialist, Jesse, made it all possible. She was very responsive, and she planned out a great itinerary that was a perfect mix of touring and down time. All of the tours that she arranged for us were unique and special in their own way. One of our tours was cancelled due to weather conditions and we were promptly refunded. We were extremely happy and would highly recommend Jesse for anyone planning a trip to Chile. read more

Hi Clara,

This was one of my all-time favorite vacations. Normally I plan every detail of my vacation, but both myself the friend with whom I was traveling didn’t really have the bandwidth to plan this one. I was a little hesitant about using kimkim, but it turned out to be a really great decision. Jesse was extremely responsive and receptive to our what we wanted. She was always quick to answer our questions and always very helpful. The activities she planned for us both in Santiago and San Pedro de... read more

Hi Melanie,
Thank you for the kind review and I'm so happy you enjoyed your trip :) I'll definitely have a word with our operator in Atacama about their drivers so they're more cautious!

There's a lot to see and appreciate across the many historic sites on Rapa Nui. Unfortunately for us, we arrived on the island and tested positive for Covid-19 the next day. We quarantined for the majority of our time on the island, and the local health authority released us from quarantine half a day before our departing flight. This was entirely appropriate on their part, and in no way impacts our review of this experience. Our local guide, Nicolas, spent that half day showing us as... read more

Joel, I really appreciate the time you took to leave a heartfelt and detailed review, thanks so much! Your trip did not start as planned, but I am happy you all made the most of it after the quarantine. It was a truly personalized travel plan to experience a variety of activities in Chile, thanks for trusting me. Chile has arms wide open to welcome you back any time.
Wishing you and Natalie the best and my regards as well for Marsha and Dave,

Lorena planned a great trip! Even more important, flight changes required us to change our itinerary just a few weeks before the trip, and Lorena remade the plan without missing a beat. Vendors for the excursions/adventures she arranged were all fantastic: reliable, informative and fun.
Lorena was a great communicator before and during the trip. We need to go back to Chile to explore the parts of this beautiful country we didn't get to on this trip! read more

Hola Nik, a big thanks to the family for allowing me to plan this fantastic trip with you! Portillo would be a great place to spend some time skiing with exhilarating double-black slopes... when we have a better snow season. Easter Island and Patagonia will also be waiting for you.
Best always,

The guides in Atacama and Puerta Varas were outstanding. The transfers went smoothly and the drivers were all helpful and informative.
I loved the north and south. Petrohue was probably my favorite but the flamingos and salt flat tours were out of this world!
I love Chile! read more

Hola Sarah, so happy you had such a lovely time. Please come back to Chile anytime, there is so much more to see! You were a pleasure to work with. Chile will miss you!

We had a pretty extensive 10-day itinerary in Chile, with myself, my teenage daughter and my 8 year old son. We had a great time visiting Santiago, Patagonia, and Atacama, all thanks to Lorena. She put together the itinerary and it was perfect for us. We had many transfers--cars, planes, buses, boats, as Chile is quite stretched out. Every step of the way was smooth and all the guides we had on the trip were professional, knowledgeable, and interesting. It was truly unforgettable and we... read more

Ivy, you are so sweet! I am thrilled that all three of you had a great time exploring Chile and visiting such diverse regions, each with its own character. I appreciate your kind comments and the pleasure of assisting with the trip was certainly mine.
With much gratitude,

This once in a lifetime trip took months of planning and coordination. The first leg of the trip to Easter Island went off well with a few minor hiccups but that is to be expected and was resolved quickly. The guides were awesome and it was a great experience. Not so awesome was the Calama section of the trip. Let me start with the positive. The guides were very knowledgeable and I had an ok time. Now for the negatives. I was picked up from my accommodation during the time window provided but... read more

Dear Sheryl,
Even though I hear you enjoyed the majority of the trip, I am sorry your experience was not the best in San Pedro. I did not know the tour left you in the town! That is unacceptable and I wish I knew when it happened to correct it. I will contact the operator immediately for an explanation.
The issue with the flight was an oversight, we normally book the flight in mid afternoon to ensure there is enough time for the geysers tour, but the flight you booked was around 1:30pm... read more

A really enjoyable experience. The various tours were well organised and our guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The highlight of our trip was the Uyuni Salt Flats with our time around San Pedro de Atacama a close second. Highly recommended

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you had a truly enjoyable experience during your trip.
We appreciate your recommendation and are grateful to have been a part of planning your memorable journey.
I hope to see you again on your next adventure!

My two teenaged sons and I traveled to Chile - Santiago and Puerto Natales. I did not know where to begin in planning this kind of trip. I found Kimkim, and Angel was very helpful right from the start. His communication was impeccable. It was winter in Chile, and they were having a lot of rain. The weather caused some unforeseen and unavoidable disruptions to our trip itinerary, including a cancelled airline flight. Once again, Angel was answering my questions and rearranging our plans so... read more

Hi Kristen!

Thank you very much for all your words, me and my team appreciate this so much :)
I know you or your kids will be back soon in Southamerica since you told me your family Loved Chile! We will be waiting for you.
Gracias a ti Kristen, por muchos viajes más!

My client Karyn Anderson and her child Sebastian were delighted and have nothing but praise for all the arrangements made by Kimkim and Ana who was extremely helpful right through the booking process.
For starters, I would like to commend Ana for her selfless and prompt responses and excellent suggestions.
There were many changes but she handled the challenges with great expertise, otherwise for me, an unknown destination.
My client has written that everything went without a hitch,... read more

Chile and Bolivia
We had a great trip to Chile and Bolivia arranged by Emilce.
At all times her service was immaculate, and her advice was essential to the success of the holiday.
In Santiago we had a good experience with our tour guide Francisco.
Highlights were the Nayara Atacama and the great guides we had there, particularly Alexis who was a local musician who played in an Andean band.
The journey to the Bolivian border we had an excellent guide and Giovanni our Bolivian guide... read more

Hi Peter and Kathryn,
We are thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic trip to Chile and Bolivia :)
Thanks for your kind words and it's lovely to know that the guides provided you with a memorable experience.
Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to South America in the future!

Jason Kearney provided us with everything we would have wanted in our itinerary. He was an incredible support throughout our trip and answered all the questions/concerns promptly. I believe his availability and willingness made our trip memorable! He was just awesome!!
We had two tour guides: Francisco (Santiago, Valparaiso) and Christian (San Pedro de Atacama). Both of them made our trip stress-free and totally enjoyable. Their knowledge of the towns, restaurants and landscapes was... read more
Hi Ashok and Karla,
It was a pleasure to work with you on creating your great adventure in Chile. I am glad the trip exceeded your expectations and we truly look forward to welcoming you back on your next Latin American adventure.
Best wishes and a long and happy life to you both.

The trip was amazing ! Really enjoyed all the tour guides they were very knowledgeable and caring. We especially liked our tour guide in Easter island patricia she went above and beyond to make our experience amazing and smooth and gave us a lot of tips for restaurants and the place. In Atacama dessert it would have been nice to know ahead of time that the tour started at 4:30 am in the morning. We were notified at 5:30 pm the day before the tour that we had to be ready that early which was... read more

Dear Smitha and Steven,
We extend our heartfelt gratitude for taking the time to share your feedback about your incredible trip! It brings us immense joy to learn that you had a wonderful experience with our knowledgeable tour guides.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the early start time in the Atacama Desert. While we strive to provide comprehensive information in the tour description and final itinerary shared before the journey, we understand the importance of... read more
Not the guide's fault.

May 23 - May 26, 2023

My "guide" was a lovely man, very friendly and prompt. But he wasn't really a guide. I spent a day touring Pablo Neruda's homes because I thought I would learn more about the poet from him. Instead I went to each home and listened to a repetitive audio tour. Not what I thought I was paying more for. I do want to reiterate that this was not Orlando's fault, he was very kind and considerate every step of the way. But the planning by the agency was poor. read more

Overall, the trip was wonderful and amazing. The experience of a lifetime.
Angel was great to deal with from start to finish. In planning the trip, listening to my wants and needs, and then providing tours accordingly. During the trio he was readily available and responsive whenever a question came up or problem occurred.
The big thing for me which would have made the trip go more smoothly and be more enjoyable as a result is more communication ahead of time about what’s next. Whether... read more

Thank you very much for all the details, Steve!
Our mission is to be better every day and this is so helpful to accomplish it :)
I am happy that this was "The experience of a lifetime"
My team and I are really grateful for all this!

May 2 - May 21, 2023

We spent three weeks exploring Chile (north, south, center and Easter Island). All of this was booked through kimkim. As kimkim relies on third party tour operators, you can imagine that there can be a few hiccups here and there, but it's how our personal representative (Jesse) handled those hiccups that was most impressive. Any time we had a question, request or concern, she was there to help. Having Jesse every step of the way was like having a guardian angel watching over us. We would... read more

Thank you so much for the kind review! I'm very happy you enjoyed and that I was able to contribute to better your experience :)
