Incredible hotel and staff. Best location. We almost chose a more expensive hotel, but when we got to the area we realized we made the better choice. 10 out of 10. Walkable to shops, the main pier for water taxis, restaurants. Honestly you could eat and drink at the hotel because the food was incredible. Gorgeous view and pool!

Ariel was great to work with, and he made it very easy to plan this somewhat complex three-week trip, spanning almost the entire length of the country, including a week in the Galapagos Islands. His attention to detail was much appreciated as well as his perfect English language skills. We did all of the planning quite easily through email communications and the kimkim ap. We eventually were able to meet him in person in Quito on our first day. Authentic Ecuador was the in-country tour company that contracted with our personal guide on the mainland, Sebastian, who also turned out to be a fantastic host. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, friendly and fun, and a very skilled and safe driver. He really helped us to better understand and truly appreciate our Andean adventure. The week in Galapagos was more self-exploration and joining up with other tourist groups for snorkeling and boating activities to view wildlife. Park sanctioned guides were also very well trained and knowledgeable.

My trip to Ecuador was a fabulous excursion. The sights and sounds that I experienced will forever be remembered. Even when a pivot from the itinerary was necessitated by my health issues, it was executed flawlessly. What made the trip so successful was my driver/guide Daniel. He helped me physically get around, but his overall knowledge, his driving skill, his hidden gems to explore, and his other worldly personality combined to make this an unforgettable tour. Beyond that, the accommodations and the restaurants were top notch. From the beaches to the Andes, to the jungle, to the volcanos, there is no other country like Ecuador. The people are friendly, the weather was perfect, the sky was pure blue. I wish I could stop there, but I had an issue with the transportation that was never resolved. I was told by KIMKIM to quote, “anticipate the arrival of a comfortable private transportation service”. What I got was an uncomfortable cramped regular automobile that the guide told me that he borrowed from a friend. Really? This is how your company operates? You don’t operate with a fleet of vans with easy ingress and egress and large viewing windows? This car had a faulty passenger seat which made things very challenging every time I had to get in or out. So, this situation and the fact that it was never addressed and resolved is the reason for the three stars. In conclusion, I would say to potential travelers to Ecuador definitely consider KIMKIM, but be sure of your ride before you commit.

Hi Stuart,

Thank you for your review. I’m happy you enjoyed Ecuador, the accommodations and restaurants, and especially your time with Daniel. I’ll pass your kind words on to him. I’m sorry that the vehicle did not provide the level of comfort you expected, and I understand how this could have affected your experience.

The vehicle provided was a Renault Duster SUV from our transportation partner. Sadly, we were not aware that you required a vehicle with easier access or specific seating arrangements.
Had we known this during the planning stage, we would have been happy to discuss more suitable transportation options with you.

During the trip, we adapted the route and reorganized logistics at no additional cost to help accommodate your needs. However, I’m sorry that getting in and out of the vehicle continued to be uncomfortable and that this concern remained unresolved.

Thank you for sharing both the highlights and the difficulties, Stuart. I’m glad Daniel helped you discover so much of Ecuador and return home with such good memories.

Warm regards,
Jacquie and Team
