Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Our experience with KimKim was terrific. It was the first time using a travel agent and it worked out great. We will use a travel agent on all of our future trips.
Eirini was especially patient as we worked through our interests and budget. In the future we will schedule a phone meeting to improve that process. But we ended up with the trip we wanted and loved.
And, last but not least, Julia was great. We had many questions while on the trip that she responded to quickly and clearly.

All of the guides were excellent. We especially liked Dimitri on the food tour, Sofia at the Acropolis, and Lina at Mystras.

The location and characteristics of the hotel were exactly what we wanted. The location was great ( in the middle of everything but still quiet) and the staff were great. Not only professional but warm and friendly. They also researched a restaurant for us that was exactly what we were looking for. And they arranged for the breakfast to be opened a little early to accommodate our departure time.

The trip was well planned, busy and fun!! I can't speak for the others but having all transfers, hotels, tours and meals all planned out was amazing. I enjoyed the personal touches we received as a stand alone tour or small group. To me that makes a tremendous difference. The Doupiani House in Kastraki as well as Porto Del Colombo Traditional Hotel in Chania were my favorite!! The other accommodations were nice as well, I just happened to really enjoy the traditional aspects of the two mentioned above. The continental breakfasts in all locations, YUMMY, YUMMY and YUMMY!! Another highlight for me was the hike on day two which was operated by tour Meteora. Our guide was absolutely hilarious, unfortunately I have forgotten his name. Very knowledgeable and really enjoys sharing his love of the area!!

The KIM KIM team does an awesome job making sure all details are taken care of!
Also, are available if you have any questions at all on your vacation.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Kim Kim again in the future.
Thank you for an amazing journey to GREECE!!

Plaka Athens was very charming.. our guide for the acropolis was amazing and really knew her stuff and was a gem to listen to!! I want to thank everyone at Kim Kim for all they did during our trip. We had a few hiccups that could not be helped but the team at Kim Kim never let me go feeling unheard. The issues were not even their fault and yet they were with me every step of the way. An unfortunate disaster happened to a building next to our hotel which meant we could no longer stay at ours and the team kept in touch with me all throughout the day and week to make sure I was ok and we were doing well. I can't explain enough how comforting that was. Nafplio was AMAZING!!! the hotel we stayed in was fabulous!! I think this was my favorite stop on our trip. Kalamata was fun but venturing out to the beaches was the BEST!! Voidokilia Beach is STUNNING!! Sienne , Lea & Grant.. thank you for all you do and you have a fan for life!!!

Every detail of our trip was accounted for. Every person we interacted either from the driver who picked us up at the airport to the driver that dropped us off for our return flight was positive. Most of all, our local specialist Eirini was amazing during the planning process and throughout the trip. I wi definitely use KimKim again and have already recommended them to others.

Hi Kimkim,
Our trip to Greece was EXCEPTIONAL! We went as a group of 6 (3 different couples), and Chris was flexible and made it work for all of us (special room reservations, etc.). The tours were all high-quality- we really couldnt pick one that was better than the rest. The hotels were also all just right for our group - very good quality and in the "quiet areas" as we wanted. Chris highly recommended the island-hopping private boat tour, and we all agreed that was a highlight of Greece. All in all, we love dour experience with Chris and with KimKim!

We had a great experience from start to finish. One thing that really stood out was how accommodating and helpful the team was when something unexpected came up and we needed to re-book our trip. They made the process easy and stress-free, which we really appreciated.

The hotels were clean, comfortable, and well staffed, and we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The activities were also a highlight of the trip. We had so much fun and really enjoyed getting to experience everything that was planned for us. Our favorite was the catamaran day, it took us to some absolutely STUNNING swim spots!

The itinerary was easy to follow, which made the entire trip feel organized without being overwhelming. We also appreciated the regular check-ins to make sure we were doing well and had everything we needed along the way.

Overall, we had an amazing time in Greece and felt very well taken care of throughout the entire trip!

Anna did a phenomenal job coordinating our last-minute trip to Greece. She built us a custom itinerary based on our travel style and thoughtfully positioned our hotels in spots that optimized our trip.

Along the way we had some exceptional tour guides - notably Grigori in Heraklion on the private Minoan Tour of Knossos & Archaeological Museum tour, Christina in Athens on the small group Acropolis & Old Athens walking tour, and Vasiis in Santorini on the private Traditional Villages tour. Something to note with morning tours, in Greece hotel breakfasts are served later than in the USA so have an alternate plan for breakfast if you venture out before 8:30 AM. Our hotel in Crete did offer an early continental breakfast if coordinated the day before which was really helpful.

We had a great experience with kimkim and will definitely consider using them for future trips.

Our trip to Greece was truly unforgettable, and Kim Kim Travel and GA Trips made the entire experience feel effortless. Angeliki, our travel specialist, thoughtfully curated every detail, from beautiful hotels and memorable private tours to exceptional drivers and seamless transfers between destinations. We never had to worry about logistics—we could simply arrive, relax, and enjoy each experience. The planning was thoughtful, polished, and incredibly well executed. We’re so grateful for such a special trip to Athens, Mykonos, Naxos and Santorini and would highly recommend Angeliki and Kim Kim Travel.

Lea and Erica planned the most amazing trip for us!!! It was absolutely perfect in so many ways!! The tours and excursions really gave us the highlights in the time we had to work with on each island. Frenie was so great on our Acropolis tour in Athens, Pako was so much fun on our Chora tour in Mykonos and Michail was a joy on our tour Milos! Even the drivers who took
Us too and from the airports and ferry ports were so friendly and kind!! Each island was beautiful and unique and KimKim really exceeded our expectations!! Thank you again!!!

I loved all of the tours and the tour guides. Evita was our guide on our Acropolis Mythology walk. Evita was so companionable and so knowledgeable. it was a treat to be shown around the Acropolis by her. She also pointed us to a fabulous restaurant for lunch which she offered to take us to. We could not have asked for more in a guide. El was our guide other Off the Beaten Path Villages tour. El was a warm and knowledgeable guide who we enjoyed very much. We loved the little villages and spots she took us to. Stephanie was our guide to the Sifnos Villages. She was the perfect guide, checking on the pace and telling us about the residents of the villages and island. I did not even notice the lack of history because I was enchanted by her love of the villages and its residents. She gave us a real feel for Sifnos as it is today. I wouldn’t change a thing about her (maybe just update description). One of our favorite experiences happened with her — an elderly gentleman saw us and brought us out water and then invited us into his home. Stephanie’s affection for the elderly residents was evident in everything she said and did. Just when you think the guides could not get better we meet Evie for our Culture Walk with Food Tasting. Evie was knowledgeable about the food and the history of Naxos. The tour and dinner with Evie was a pure delight. That leaves the private farm experience on Naxos. It was so interesting to tour the farm and the cooking class shared with 8 others was so much fun. The class was led by Soto, an outgoing women with a contagious laugh and warmth. The plate breaking and dancing was the perfect finale.

And on the water….. the private sunset caldera cruise was definitely another highlight. Dimitri and Dimitri (captain and first mate) could not have been better hosts. I don’t have words to describe how wonderful they were. And the views and the swimming were amazing. And the meal cooked up by Dimitri was delicious.
The private sailing cruise took us to beautiful places on a lovely boat. Unfortunately it was a windy and overcast day so we didn’t get to enjoy swimming but you can’t control the weather and it was lovely to be sailing on the Aegean. The captain and his first mate were very gracious and his concern for Howard when he felt ill was so so very kind.
All of the drivers were prompt and very kind. The only issue was the ride in Santorini to the ferry. I think you need to build some time in for traffic in Fira and on the road down to the port. And I guess the ride a few blocks to hotel in Sifnos. The hotel had a golf cart to pick up guests.

We had fun exploring on our own as well. Matt and I did part of the caldera hike (from Oia towards Fira). We hiked for two hours which let us have some of those beautiful views. On Sifnos we rented a car and went to the beach at Faros and had an amazing lunch there. On Naxos we rented a car and went to Halki which is a beautiful village.

As far as hotels the staff at all of the hotels could not have been nicer or more helpful. The breakfast at Sweet Home Hotel was amazing and the location was perfect. The room was a little small but I expect that in cities. Our room at the Sole d’Oro was spacious and very comfortable. It was one level. I had the impression it was on the water but I blame myself for not checking on that. The Sifnos House was our favorite accommodation. Our room was so spacious with a separate living area and small kitchen. It was beautifully decorated and sparkling clean. I loved the spa there. I had the best facial of my life there. It was a great location and breakfast was delicious. Opal Paros was a nice hotel although it was smaller than the other rooms on the islands. The Melidron Hotel room was also nice and spacious.

All in all it was a fabulous trip that has us wanting to return.

Irene, Klio, and everyone else at Travel 12 planned a great trip. They flawlessly handled all of the logistics of getting us around Greece and they booked amazing guides for us.

The highlights of the trip included the Santorini Highlights with Wine Tour. Our guide Will was perhaps one of the best tour guides I've ever had. He did an excellent job getting us to all of the major sights in Santorini while avoiding the crowds and he kept us entertained during the entire tour. Other highlights were the Palace of Knossos tour, the reservation at Peskesi restaurant in Heraklion, and the tour of Delphi. I should add that every guide that was booked for us did an amazing job.

This was my third trip with KimKim and, like the previous two, this one was fantastic.

We had a fantastic trip to Greece, and KimKim did such a great job arranging everything for us. It was-pleasure having all the transports, hotels and tours set up for us so all we had to do was show up at the indicated time and off we went. All the guides (and drivers)were extremely knowledgeable, and went above and beyond in answering all our questions and sharing their knowledge of Greek history and culture. We enjoyed every activity, with one of many highlights being the private sunset catamaran trip around Santorini, with the two Demetris as our hosts. It was great working with Gustavo in planning a trip that met all of our (many) requirements. Thank you
KimKim for making our Greece adventure one we will always remember!

We absolutely loved our trip to Greece! Everything was planned so well, and we felt like there was the perfect balance between having things scheduled and still having plenty of flexibility to explore and do things on our own time. We never felt like there was too much planned or like we were being rushed, but we also always had something to look forward to.

All of the food recommendations and options were amazing, and we had so many great meals throughout the trip. The transfers were also extremely helpful and made getting from place to place so easy and stress-free, especially since we were traveling to multiple places.

Any time there was an issue or something came up, it was handled and solved very quickly. Everyone was always extremely helpful and accommodating, which made the whole trip feel so much less stressful.

We especially loved our hotel in Paros — it was incredible and definitely one of the highlights of the trip! Overall, everything felt very well thought out, and we loved being able to enjoy Greece without having to worry about all of the little details ourselves. We had such an amazing trip and would definitely recommend KimKim and will be using them again in our future adventures!

Achilleas Hotel

We really enjoyed our stay here! The location was great and made it so easy to get around and be close to everything we wanted to see and do. The receptionists were also extremely helpful and gave us some great local recommendations, which we really appreciated. One thing that really surprised us was how quiet the room was. Athens can feel pretty busy and loud when you're outside, but as soon as we got into our room, it was completely silent. We never had any issues with outside noise, which made it really nice to come back and relax after being out all day. Overall, we had a great stay and really loved the location, helpful staff, and how peaceful the room was!

Being so close to Naousa made it really easy and fun to go into town, but the hotel itself still felt relaxing and peaceful. The staff was INCREDIBLE. I truly cannot say enough good things about everyone who worked there. We arrived pretty early in the day, and they immediately worked on getting our room ready for us so we could check in early. They were so helpful throughout our entire stay and helped us book reservations at restaurants and beach clubs they recommended, while also giving us suggestions on what to do and see around Paros. Every recommendation they gave us was great! Our room was right next to the pool, which we were a little worried about at first because we thought it might be loud, but it wasn't at all. The room was extremely clean, comfortable, and so nice. There was also a public beach only about a five-minute walk away, and we had so much fun hanging out there the day we arrived. Everything about our stay was amazing. Between the beautiful hotel, perfect location, and especially the incredible staff, this place was easily one of the biggest highlights of our trip. I genuinely could have stayed there forever and would absolutely stay here again!

Santorini

We really enjoyed our stay here overall! The hotel had a beautiful view of the caldera, and we really loved staying in Imerovigli. It was such a pretty area and a great location for our time in Santorini. The staff was friendly and helpful for the most part, although there were a couple of things that could have been handled better. We were told that we were going to be moved to a different room, but that never ended up happening and we weren't really given an update about it. We were also told someone would come help us with our bags when leaving early in the morning, but no one ever came, so we ended up taking care of them ourselves which was difficult given the stairs you have to walk up. Neither of these things ruined our stay, but the communication and follow-through could have been a little better. Overall, we still really enjoyed the hotel, especially the beautiful caldera views and the location in Imerovigli!

Our transfer from Athens to Lefkada was with George from Epirus Adventures. George was personable and made the long drive pass quickly even with our two stops. He was an excellent driver too! All portions of our trip went smoothly thanks to Sienna. It was nice knowing that if anything did go wrong, we would have a resource (KimKim) to help with any problems.

Hotel Review

Athens Ivy Suites

Athens

The Athens Ivy is located in the heart of Athens, near a lot of shopping and dining. A few of the rooms have a view of the Acropolis , but most don't. It is within reasonable walking distance of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. The included breakfast is better than most. The breakfast is served in an on-site restaurant and allows many choices. The restaurant is also nice for late night relaxing. Other than the restaurant, there are not really any common areas. The lobby is tiny. The rooms were all updated, clean, and tastefully decorated.

Authenticity & Character

This is a small hotel that has obviously been in existence for a while, but everything is updated.

Location

The hotel is near shopping and many dining choices. The Acropolis is an easy walk.

Staff

It was easy to make arrangements for a breakfast to take with us for an early trip to Delphi.

Cleanliness & Comfort

The hotel rooms were very clean.

Activity Reviews

Private Delphi Day Trip

Athens

It was a pleasure to spend the day with Nancy. She was a very good driver. She was full of information when we asked, but also allowed silence when appropriate. She made arrangements for lunch at a wonderful restaurant near Delphi that we would have never found ourselves.

Thank you Gustavo and Leah - our Greece trip was wonderful. The guides were energetic, knowledgeable and very friendly. The hotels were great, all very accommodating of early check in, the drivers were on time. We learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

We were very impressed by the friendliness and hospitality of the Greek people and the cleanliness of Athens and the islands. Also, the weather was perfect. Thanks.

Just one question - all 4 couples continue to be copied on an email saying a payment is due. We all believe that we are all paid up. Is it possible for you to get the Kimkim system to stop sending the "payment due" notice?

Thank you. We will definitely be in touch for future trips. Betsy Meyer

Athens guide, Evita, was very knowledgeable , accommodating, personable and provided a great suggestion for a restaurant. Santorini guide, El, was also very knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. Sifnos guide, Stephanie, was personable and accommodating. She did not provide relevant historical knowledge, which was disappointing considering that this was a cultural & historical walk through three villages. Sunset cruise in Santorini was wonderful, as were the captain & his first mate ( both named, Demitri). The sailing cruise in Paros is highly recommended; the captain, Costo, was very accommodating; a particularly caring when one member of our group didn’t feel well. All transfer drivers were prompt and professional, & added their knowledge of the area. Our experience with the hotels was acceptable but less than ideal. We learned that it’s important to better scrutinize hotel selections. In Athens the hotel was in a great location. The staff was accommodating, the breakfast, delicious. However, the room was tiny. Would have selected an upgrade if we were able. In Santorini, the room was comfortably, however it required walking down a flight of stairs, within the room, to access the bathroom - this was unpleasant for seniors. Also, in retrospect, we would have preferred a hotel closer to the ocean. In Sifnos the hotel was beautiful, the staff was accessible but we were given a room with THREE LEVELS. The living room, kitchen and bedroom were each on a different level, accessible by flights of stairs. Again, not very accommodating to senior citizens. On Paros the hotel was very nice, walking distance to the beach with good breakfast. And on Naxos the hotel was very comfortable, good breakfast and walking distance to town and the beach. I would highly recommend carefully reviewing hotel accommodations for a trip of this nature. (We neglected to do that). There were more luxurious hotels at most locations, with ocean front accommodations, and some with private pools on the balconies. It would have been worth the additional cost to have those accommodations.
In general Kimkim was very helpful, provided excellent service prior to and during the trip.
