The trip exceeded our hopes. We did a lot each day, and that was perfect for us. All our guides were a great match for us and very knowledgeable. We had adventure, education, and culture throughout the trip.

Jacquie organised a wonderful trip and made sure everything went perfectly smoothly. She kept us updated, ensured we were taken care and came to see us at our hotel in Quito. I normally plan all my trips independently so it was a new experience having someone else do all the organising. But I am so glad I gave it a try - there was a lot of organising to be done and it meant I had no mental load having to double check times or communicating with tour guides when activities needed to be swapped around because of sea conditions etc. I was able to properly enjoy the trip. I highly recommend it!

It is in a quiet part of town so not much going on in the evening.

Nice private guide who picked us up from the boat and took us there. Again it meant we could fit more in and was great having someone meet us.

This was a bit tough - some of the seatbelts didn’t work in the minibus and it is quite a dangerous drive. I think there could be an option available for a private car instead of the bus. Someone at the lodge had done this (of course it is more expensive) but it might be a possible add on, just because the driver is quite tough in the bus.

Our kids gave the trip a 9.5/10 which is a huge win. This was our first time using a travel service and Kimkim and our overall experience was fantastic. Alvaro helped us plan the initial logistics and create an itinerary that covered a lot of ground in Ecuador. Sebastian was super helpful at coordinating all the logistics on the ground and even came to meet us in Quito. We were so lucky to have Christian as an incredible tour guide for the first week. He felt like part of the family and even watched World Cup games with us. He has an incredibly kind heart and is a pleasure to be around and really cared for every detail of the trip. He is also a foodie and took us to some delicious meals and always had great recommendations. He did great with our teens as well. Lastly, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of birds, flora and fauna and I wish we had done the cloud forest or the jungle with him but he still managed to share a ton of info. Our itinerary was aggressive from a driving/distance traveling standpoint and we could not have done it without the input of our guides/team. We started in Quito, went to Mitad del Mundo then Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, before heading to Baños for a few days (so fun!) then drove down to Cuenca where we sadly said goodbye to Christian. Genaro took over guiding duties and he was delightful as well- very knowledgeable, interesting, kind and did a great job. We especially loved our Cajas hike with him and were very grateful he was the driver in the descent to Guayaquil! Finally, Carolina helped Sebastian with the arrangements in the Galapagos and all of our guides helped make transit easy. We stayed on Santa Cruz for a few nights but Isabela stole our hearts! Hotel Abermarle was perfect.
Overall, we had a great experience and I would recommend using Kimkim for an Ecuadorian adventure. Thank you Alvaro, Sebastian and all involved!

Every part of the trip was amazing and well organized, from our trip planner Paola, to our local guide Danny. The entire experience was A+!

This is a third trip with Kimkim (first to South America) and Kimkim delivered a great itinerary as usual. All I have to do is tell Kimkim what we'd like to do and they setup everything, suggesting adventures that often prove the highlight of our trip. Hotels were always nice and within walking distance of town centers, both on the Islands and in Quito. We also requested a 4-day island-hopping cruise where we were meters from free roving animals such as giant tortoises, sea lions, iguanas, blue-footed boobies doing a mating dance right on our trail, and other wildlife. In the water we, swam with countless colorful fish, sea lions, sea turtles, marine iguanas, sea snakes, sharks and penguins. We were offered and tried traditional cuisine: fish-head soup and guinea pig. Some of our favorite memories came from swimming in a hidden beach with large waves. At night, sharks would circle our boat, sometimes having a feeding frenzy for all the flying fish attracted to lights. Sea Lions sometimes hopped on the back of our boat. Un unforgettable adventure.
