Loved the trip overall. Excellent job by Valentine and her team. They were extremely flexible with all the changes we wanted to make. Even during our trip they assisted with all sorts of questions and even some changes. Overall the guides were good. The best guide was Jim in Fussen who showed us the castles, with a wealth of historical and current day knowledge.

Loved the trip overall. Excellent job by Valentine and her team. They were extremely flexible with all the changes we wanted to make.

The best guide was Jim in Fussen who showed us the castles, with a wealth of historical and current day knowledge. Overall we felt the trip was quite expensive, but most of it was the cost of hotels/restaurants in Switzerland and some of it was to do with our choices of guides, excursions and specific activities like driving around Nurburgring. Our family had an awesome time and we could not have done it without KimKim!
Hotel Reviews
Eiger Selfness Hotel
Grindelwald
This hotel was also good but like the previous one, it lacked air conditioning. However, the cooler temperatures in Grindelwald during the night made the stay bearable. The hotel was fine overall, but again, knowing about the lack of air conditioning in advance would've been helpful
Hotel Sonne Füssen
Fussen
This hotel was beautiful, but it didn't have air conditioning which was quite a problem during the summer heat. I was not aware of this when I booked it. Nonetheless, I managed by opening the window to cool down. I'd say it was an okay experience but they should definitely let customers know about the lack of AC beforehand.

Munich Private Guided Walking Tour (Private/2Hours)
Munich
The guide, Barbara, was knowledgeable but very opinionated, which made the tour a little less enjoyable.

Summer Kayak Tour Lake Brienz (Private/Approx. 3 hours)
Germany
I enjoyed the kayaking activity, but I probably would have just rented the kayaks ourselves instead of hiring a guide.

Food lovers experience: Gruyères day tour
Germany
This was a nice tour, but I feel that renting a car and driving down ourselves would have been a better and more cost-effective option.

Private Tour of Neuschwanstein Castle & more!
Germany
This was my favorite activity. The tour guide, Jim, was absolutely fantastic - interactive, engaging, and down-to-earth. He was very knowledgeable, but never condescending, which made the tour very enjoyable. I'd highly recommend Jim and this tour.

What an amazing experience! Our guide, Thomas, met us in Munich and was absolutely wonderful! His love for his city, history and connection to our own home town gave the tour a unique and personal touch. It was a memorable time! I only wish I planned a longer stay!

Day trip to Bruges
Amsterdam
Blanca became part of our family during the course of the day trip. She literally spent the entire day with us getting to know us and us her. Her knowledge of the history of Bruges was amazing. Her recommendations for where to eat and even more so, where to snack, was spot on. We highly recommend using Blanca for tours in Bruges.

Guided tour of Amsterdam
Amsterdam
Eva was great guide that took us away from the 'commercial areas' to understand more about Amsterdam and all of the history from when it was founded and evolved over the years. She used maps and visuals to really bring that history to life so we could fully understand the significance of the city. We highly recommend Eva for anyone interested in touring Amsterdam.
