Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Our trip to Greece was an unforgettable experience. The accommodations were beautiful and within easy walking distance. Each of the excursions and guides exceeded our expectations. I was especially pleased with ease of using the app and having tickets and boarding passes readily available. I was also pleased with the ease of communication where ever we were.

Eirini did an excellent job of creating a tour which included the our requests. She always answered our questions in a timely manner. In her communications she made it clear that she wanted us to have an excellent time.
Popi Georgopoulou, our guide to the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum was excellent. Her knowledge and the information she shared with us in both places was exceptional. She enjoyed telling the history of Athens and the Acropolis. She not only told us the main points but also some of the side stories which we greatly appreciated. We highly recommend her for all of your tours.
All of our hotels were ideally located, within walking distance of many restaurants and sites.
All of our transfers were punctual, the drivers friendly, helpful and very professional. The vehicles we had were
excellent and provided more than enough room for us and our luggage.
When we needed to keep Eirini or the staff informed about situations, they were always quick to reply and offer help when needed.
Thank you to Eirini and the entire staff in Greece for making our trip and enjoyable and memorable one.

Quality of Experience

We cannot recommend Be A Greek enough! From start to finish, the trip was completely worry-free. They were available anytime we had questions or needed help, and they even rearranged our first day when someone missed their flight. Originally, we planned this trip for 2024, but due to some issues, we had to move it back a year, and they handled everything seamlessly without any stress on our part. Thanks to Be A Greek, we had such memorable experiences. Our food tour in Naxos was incredible, especially the orange cake, and we loved learning about the city’s history. The Naxos cooking class was by far our favorite activity, exploring the farm, picking fresh vegetables, and doing traditional Greek dances and plate breaking. In Santorini, the cultural highlights and wine tasting tour gave us a perfect mix of history, local flavors, and small-crowd sightseeing, plus we found some amazing gifts for friends. And the sunset catamaran cruise with BBQ was breathtaking, romantic, and offered some of the best photos of our trip. Be A Greek made all of it effortless, and we are so grateful for such a smooth, unforgettable experience.

Dear Kim Kim,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share some feedback regarding our recent trip, as this vacation is incredibly meaningful to my husband and me. It serves as our yearly honeymoon — a special time for us to reconnect, especially since we both work in law enforcement and rarely have time away together.

First, I want to express my appreciation for your attentiveness and professionalism throughout the planning process. However, I don’t feel that my preferences and expectations were not fully understood or reflected in some parts of the trip.

Our hotel in Athens was nice in terms of accommodations, but the lack of concierge service was a major disappointment for us. Personalized service and assistance are very important elements of our travel experience. While the hotel staff were friendly and welcoming, the absence of a concierge made it difficult to navigate the area and arrange activities smoothly.

We also encountered an issue with our tour guides in Athens. There was some confusion about our meeting location, and the guide became upset and raised her voice when we didn’t meet her outside as she expected — we had been waiting just downstairs. While this was uncomfortable, I do want to acknowledge that she was very knowledgeable and that the remainder of the tour went well.

A more serious issue occurred when departing to Egypt. We learned from the airline that our travel agent should have verified that our passports were compliant for our destination. Unfortunately, my husband’s passport was not accepted initially because it expires in April 2026, leading to a 12-hour delay. We made multiple calls and sent messages but received no response. After pleading with the airline, they finally allowed us to continue our travel. By the time we arrived in Egypt, it was 3:45 a.m., and we reached the hotel around 5:45 a.m. Our scheduled day tour at 8 a.m. had to be postponed to 11 a.m., causing us to miss several experiences. This situation created a domino effect that impacted a significant portion of our trip.

On a positive note, our time in Santorini was absolutely wonderful. The hotel, staff, and tour guides there exceeded our expectations and made that part of our trip truly memorable.

I’m sharing this feedback because we truly value these annual trips, and with a few adjustments, future experiences could be exceptional from start to finish. I would appreciate any follow-up or resolution you can offer, particularly regarding the passport issue and the missed portions of our tours.

Thank you again for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Warm regards,
Racquel Gil

If you are looking to create your own vacation, kimkim is the company you want. They were superb in planning exactly what our small group wanted while at the same time providing truly wonderful drivers and professional guides for each day. Everyone was friendly and eager to please while also providing recommendations for restaurants and other activities. Kimkim was perfection!

Kimkim took the pain out of organizing all the little details for a wonderful trip. All of their guide selections were amazing. They provided additional perks as the trip continued (not that I would expect that in the future, but really nice touch!) One outing was to be a boat ride around a Greek island but the weather forecasts looked horrible. Late afternoon we asked if we could reschedule to to THE NEXT DAY. Kimkim reached out and we were rewarded with a marvelous afternoon on the water. And, yes, lighting and rain happened on the originally scheduled day and would have cancelled the trip.
Thanks Kimkim for so many wonderful memories.

My feet did great. Group was not rushed.

The first interactions with Chris were great and he was always quick to respond and provided great detail. In retrospect though, I think I should have demanded a phone call so that I could have talked to Chris directly and truly understood the service he was providing. I thought I was interfacing with a local and getting some local knowledge and expertise that would be carried on during my trip as rather promoted and promised on KimKim. I was quite surprised to receive a communication post payment to KimKim and only about 7 -10 days prior to our departure that our whole booking was outsourced to some group I had no knowledge about of Travel12 MAMKITA and a new contact named Christos for whom I had never heard of nor spoken to. In fact, the notification specifically said "local partners don't recognize KimKim and therefore may be confused" - well I was confused!! And, nothing from Chris?? Once actually on the trip, Travel 12 Mamakita and outsourced yet again to Luxury Tours and apparently a couple of different car services.
Therefore, I really don't know what I paid for with KimKim? And while Chris told me that things would be winding down as far of the season on Naxos -- frankly that was way off too -- the hotel where were were staying was literally the ONLY hotel open at the beach -- not one single restaurant or hotel, market, bar, restaurant was open - so not one single restaurant recommendation was accurate - all were closed. I really thought a local would have known this?
I just believed there was no value added and I likely paid 40 -50% more that I should have or for what I could have simply booked on my - Certainly Chat GPT could have laid out the trip I got.

Once in Greece, I had yet another new contact on WhatsApp named Dimitris? Once I did experience problems on my trip with my flight back to Athens being canceled, I received little assistance and ultimately found my own way to the port of Naxos and booked a ferry. A strong text exchange had to occur to get the local agency, (now yet another contact named Tasos) to re-organize a private transfer pick up at the ferry versus the airport which had been paid for -- that private transfer did end up happening but was ultimately refused unless and until we paid more? What they finally organized was a taxi.

So overall - it was "ok"? I just don't know what KimKim did. They were recommended by a friend who had a good experience but my experience not so much. Doubt I would do again.

The location of the hotel made it convenient to walk to restaurants and shops.

We just returned from an absolutely amazing trip to Greece and Italy, and we can’t thank Chris enough for making it all possible! From the very beginning, Chris took the time to understand exactly what we wanted — a mix of history, culture, food, and relaxation — and created the perfect itinerary.

Every detail was thoughtfully planned: smooth transfers, beautiful hotels in ideal locations, and incredible local experiences that we never would have found on our own. Even during the trip, Chris and his team checked in regularly and was always available if we had questions or needed assistance. It truly felt like we had a trusted friend looking out for us the entire time.
Thanks to Chris, we were able to just relax and enjoy every moment — from watching the sunset in Santorini to exploring the streets of Rome.
Highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a seamless, personalized, and unforgettable travel experience in.

Our trip to Greece was absolutely wonderful! Every detail was so thoughtfully planned — from the smooth transfers to the perfectly chosen accommodations, which were all above excellent. Each hotel and villa had its own charm and comfort, and every stop felt special.
The tours were perfectly suited to our interests — a great mix of culture, scenery, and local flavor. Everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy every moment.
Working with Angela (Aggeliki) and the GA Trips team from the very beginning was an absolute pleasure. Her communication, organization, and personal attention made the entire process easy and stress-free. Thank you for helping us create such unforgettable memories — we can’t wait to plan our next adventure with you!

We planned a trip to celebrate my nieces high school graduation. My sister, niece, daughter and myself went and we had an amazing time. Angelic was absolutely wonderful at helping g pick out what islands we should go to and offering different ideas for what tours we would do. She was very easy to deal with and prompt in her responses. All through the trip she checked in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly and offered help when we couldn’t get into our first rental. We couldn’t figure out how to open the locked box. The drivers she arranged were always on time and made us feel well taken care of. The tour guides always had our reservations and if they were private tours they came to get us from our hotels. When we had to leave to catch our flights home Angelic had already phoned the hotel to make sure they would be there at 6:15 am to help us carry our luggage(if you’ve stayed in Santorini you would understand how important that is as the steep stairs are a bit crazy when you don’t live there! The hotels are beautiful on the cliff sides.) I have no complaints about the service we received from Kim Kim and Angelic at all and would recommend it to anyone!

Siena did a great job. My only negatives really don't concern KIM KIM. Diver was rude and not helpful in Santorini. Also the A/C did not work in the hotel.
The gentlemen who did our private Acropolis & Acropolis Museum Experience was great. So knowledgeable ,funny and kind. Also the gentlemen who did Meteora Private Off-the-Beaten-Path Villages & Countryside Excursion, Self-Guided Visit to Churches and Monasteries was very passionate and very kind.

Erica and Lea developed an amazing itinerary for us that gave us room to enjoy ourselves when we weren't on an fun and fascinating excursion. From Athens through the Cyclades islands of Mykonos, Naxos, Santorini to Crete, we enjoyed the weather, the food, the landscape and all of the historic ruins of archeaologic significance. The catamaran cruise from Crete was fantastic. The cruise with the Santorini Yacht Club i wouldn't recommend or do again. The crew wasn't friendly, the boat wasn't well taken care of and the food was awful.
Aside from this hiccup, we had a wonderful time. Sept-Oct is a great time to see Greece.

All of the hotels were great, they were in great locations and the rooms were nice. They included breakfast were also very nice. All the transfers went smoothly except for the pickup at Athens airport the person who was supposed to pick us up canceled last minute and we had to take a taxi but it was reimbursed as well as was the cost of the original driver reimbursed. Like I said the rest of the transfers went smoothly. All the tours that we took were also great, the tour guides spoke English well and were entertaining and engaging and gave a lot of interesting information. I also thought it was great to experience the contrast between the city of Athens and the smaller cities of Heraklion and Chania on Crete. There was a mix-up with the biking tour on Chania, when we got there the bike shop said there were no tours scheduled. However, they did take us on the tour anyway and we ended up getting a private tour instead of a group tour but I'm not sure how the mix-up happened. The tour guide himself was wonderful and the 25 mile bike ride was amazing. We were very sad that the Samaria gorge hike had to be canceled due to thunderstorms and we did not have time to reschedule so that was a major bummer but nothing anyone could do about it. We also really enjoyed the food tour of Chania, our guide was really great and it was nice to meet the other two couples on the tour we all had a great day together. I loved the convenience of Kim Kim taking care of all the accommodations tours and transfers for me and would definitely recommend. Also both Erica and Lea were helpful and easy to contact.

Some of the hills were very steep and would not have been possible without the pedal assist but you still have to pedal the whole time so I still felt like I was riding a bike not a motorcycle or anything but it definitely made the impossible possible with those steep hills. Our guide was fantastic, he always lived in the area and knew everything about the area. He took us to his own personal Olive Grove and taught us a lot about Olive oil production. We saw so many great things, it was a really wonderful tour

We loved our private guides for everything. The hiking guide listened to us and took us on a challenging hike and since we finished early he took us to a place where we got to see how olive oil was made and how various olives tasted. Our guides on the both the bike tour and tha Acropolis were extremely knowledgeable about their areas and we learned a lot of information.

The pictures of the hotel were not at all what we were expecting. Apparently, our hotel had closed for the season so we were put in a horrible room. I was going to sleep on a chair at the beach. We called customer service and they arranged for us to meet with the supervisor of the hotel the next day and then put us in another hotel, The Anthony, and it was very nice.

Another of my dream trips and I loved it. The guide was very nice, but I couldn't understand a word he said.

I know he was knowledgeable and, I think, informative, but it was wasted on me and my companions.

Athens was a surprise, having heard things from friends that had been there in the past. But it was lively and fun and we felt very safe the whole time.

Our trip to Santorini and Crete was absolutely amazing! Angela went above and beyond to plan every detail perfectly. The tour guides were outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the local culture. All private transfers were right on time, making everything seamless and stress-free.

It was such a relief not having to worry about any of the logistics—Angela took care of everything, allowing us to just relax and enjoy our vacation. We can’t thank her enough for an unforgettable experience!

Highly recommend for anyone planning a trip to Greece! 🇬🇷✨

We loved our trip to Greece and couldn’t have done it without Erica and Lea and their team! Everything went smoothly and we truly enjoyed participating in all the tours they suggested and planned. We felt like we had a more authentic experience, and especially enjoyed getting to know all the Greek guides and drivers who shared so many stories about their country. From the Foodie and e-bike tours in Naxos to the Alternative Athens neighborhood tour to the Santorini sunset catamaran ride, we learned alot about Greece! Naxos is now our favorite island. 😍

E-Bike Experience with Olive Mill & Farm Visit with Lunch

Naxos

We really enjoyed touring the Naxos country side on e-assist bikes with Manos Vassilas leading us around and narrating stories about the areas along the way. He took us to the Kouros archaeological site and to an Olive Mill where we learned how olive oil is made and also sampled some. Manos also took a video of us and shared it with us and we enjoyed visiting the family farm and then eating some of the food made at that farm. The view of the Aegean Sea on the way back was beautiful!

Old Town Food Walk

Naxos

We loved Naxos and the Food Tour was great! We met our group and welcoming and friendly guide, Ellana, at 5 pm and then walked all around Naxos Town kicking off our journey with delicious samples of Naxos cheese, lime and fig nibbles, lemon honey bread and a local white wine. We continued into picturesque winding streets up toward the ancient castle to meet our sweet greek grandmother host for an olive oil tasting session, starting with the extra virgin oil, which was also award winning, hot, and spicy in our throats! Sampled many olive oils, some flavored with rosemary, basil and chile peppers drizzled on popcorn. She also served us sweet homemade greek cakes. After buying some olive oil we continued along a complex labyrinth maze (designed to lose pirates) toward the 360 degree sunset view bar, Avaton, through small white and stone walkways with bougainvillea hanging from trellises, and passageways around and through castle walls. Our group wrapped up the tour with a nice dinner at the restaurant, Apostolis, sipping squash soup, and eating greek salad in bread bowls with fluffy whipped goat cheese, Naxos potatoes with kalamata olives and capers, red onion, and cheese, lamb stew with phyllo crust, and zucchini fritters. Such a great way to experience Naxos.
