Amazing adaptability, catering and planning from our Kimkim specialist Lucie. Quick turnaround and really worked to ensure we got the itinerary we wanted. We didn't have a lot of guides on this one, but our private tour to Giethoorn was led by a champ. One of us was sick and he was very accommodating. Our private transfers to and from the airport were better than others we've had as well. Another memorable trip in the books!

Hotel Reviews

WestCord City Center Hotel

Amsterdam

Totally awesome location next to the main train station as well as a tram station right in front. Walking distance to a lot of the sights and sounds of Amsterdam. No amenities and not much in the room, but that is to be expected I suppose for the location. Staff were also quite friendly and accommodating.

Classic Hotel Harmonie Cologne

Place seemed under-staffed although the existing staff were friendly. Pretty roomy. Main complaint is it overlooks a tiny public park where drunks and homeless gather at night and make a lot of noise. Walking distance from main train station and Cologne Cathedral though!

Location was great, right across the street from a tram station. There's a full grocery store downstairs. A/C was not working well though so it was pretty hot. Staff also made a mistake and billed my card for the full stay when it was prepaid.

Can't say enough good things about this place. Hotel and restaurant staff were super friendly and accommodating. Location is walking distance to eateries and groceries and a museum and the main train station. Room was quite large. 5 stars all around.

Can't really complain as long as you know what you're getting into. Decent priced in the heart of the city. No real breakfast. Get your own cups and coffee/tea pods from downstairs. Basic toiletries and in-room supplies. Check yourself in and out. But other than that quite clean and roomy. A/c worked well. Basic necessities at basic pricing.

The Cathedral itself is a main attraction in itself, but it's also next to a couple large busy streets lined with stores that you can spend hours or days going through.

Guided tour inside the Cathedral of Cologne!

Guide was knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. The guided tour gets you into a gated section near the altar. I recommend it.

we have not used a travel agent/agency to plan a trip in the past and our experience with Valentine did not disappoint! Valentine did a fantastic job planning our trip - taking into account our preferences for hotels, tours, food, etc... she was easily able to pivot when we made some changes in our desired itinerary. Valentine has great attention to detail and the logistics were seamless. we had 1-2 questions while we were actually on the trip and got quick responses to our questions.

we spent 3 nights in Berlin and LOVED our private tours Caieren and Paul (one about WWII, other about Cold War). both guides were engaging and make our experience personal, we even stopped for coffee. The bunker story museum was also great. the DDR museum was a good experience. even though we had scheduled tours, we had enough downtime planned in that we were able to explore the city - we enjoyed the Disgusting Foods Musuem!

we spent 2 nights in Nuremberg - private Nazi grounds tour with guide, again, was great. we took a day trip to Rothenberg with a private guide, enjoyed the city and the tour - had a GREAT Italian meal. there is a LEGO store in the town that serves THE BEST coffee - tell Christian we sent you. again, we had some downtime, we rented Vag-Rad bikes and biked to Imperial Castle in Nuremberg

loved that our guides met us at the hotel, made it very easy.

we spent 2 nights in Munich - we did a group tour - did not love the group tour (25 people), we had been spoiled with the private tours. from Munich, we took group day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle. OMG!! you must hike to Mary's Bridge for the view of the castle - hike is steep but, short and totally doable - don't take the horses or bus straight to the castle, you will miss Mary's Bridge. the company that organized the tour was good, professional and kept things running smoothly. bus was comfortable.

cannot wait to use Valentine again! highly recommend. easy planning and great trip!

Pros: Good location. A short walk from the train station. Town is easily accessible through a nearby parking garage elevator next door to the property. Cons: Staff when we arrived was less than friendly. We arrived prior to check in and assisting us felt like an annoyance. Room was warm. Air conditioning did not work. Breakfast was included but underwhelming - cold cuts a bit discolored (as though they had been out the day prior).

This was a walking tour that began at our Hotel. Andreas, our guide, was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. He recommended a restaurant at lunch that ended up being closed that day during the lunch hour. We returned at dinner and it was one of the best restaurants of our trip (Hackteufel).

Mathilde planned a wonderful trip for our family. The variety of tours was perfect. We especially liked our food tour in Munich as it wasn’t just focused on Bavarian food, but also other international flavors which have been adopted into the culture.

The hotels were in perfect locations for walking to all the important sites.

There really isn’t anything she could have done to improve our experience. Thank you.

I do have one suggestion for KimKim though. I would wait a few days after our trip to ask for a review, as sending the email while still on vacation spoils the last day. We are not done yet. Thank you.

Best,
Christina

Hugo curated our perfect Bavarian adventure! It started in historic Munich where Hugo provided us with an amazing tour guide, Yves. This private tour was intimate, educational and above all, fascinating. Hugo planned exceptional dinners each night. He also arranged our private transfer to the ski resort, Kitzbuhel. Our time in Kitzbuhel was complete with mountain lunch dining with breath taking views of the alps. After our ski adventure, Hugo planned our final destination, Salzburg. The 5 start hotel, city tours, dining experiences were exceptional. In addition, Hugo was accessible 24/7. We truly appreciated that he was just a text away whenever we had a question. Hugo went above and beyond for us. His kind and upbeat demeanor was a joy to work with. We will never forget our time in Bavaria. Thank you Hugo!
