Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

My dream place was always to go to Greece! I didn’t know how to go about planning it and it was overwhelming. I did my research and came across KimKim in November of 2021. I inquired and was talking to someone previously before I started talking to Christos. Christos was so helpful in planning my itinerary and fitting to my budget I had. When I was on the trip they made sure to communicate EVERYTHING to me. I had a mishap when I got off before my ferry they checked on me. Also communicated when my ferry got delay or anything I needed. I am so happy my dream trip was everything I could imagine. I can’t wait to do another planned trip with KimKim and if you are ever going to Greece go through Christos.

Upon arrival room wasn’t ready which is understanding. The hotel receptionist told us to come back and when we did she told me it still wasn’t ready and kind of had an attitude. They weren’t really welcoming and when questions were asked it seem to be a bothered to them. Other than that the hotel was nice and was by everything.

This was, without a doubt, the trip of a lifetime, and it was all made possible by the fine work of Christos and the rest of the kimkim staff. We started planning this trip pre-Covid in 2020 and delayed it twice due to the pandemic. When we finally decided the time was right to travel in September 2022, we were amazed daily at the first-class experience that Christos had planned for us for our 12 days in Greece. From the accommodations at Home & Poetry, The New Hotel, and Zillers in Athens, to the Hotel Douplani House overlooking the rock formations in Meteora, to the amazing Villa Marandi Luxury Suites (which really lives up to its name) in Naxos, everything was perfect. All of the guides and drivers (especially Dennis of Lampros Tours) were friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable beyond belief. Everything went exactly as planned, and there was not a single glitch in anything about the trip from start to finish. Thank you, Christos and kimkim!

This was our first time booking with KimKim and I will never travel without them again. The website paired us with a Greek native named Antonis Alexandrou who knew all the best local sites to visit, places to eat, hotels to stay at. From the very early stages of planning, Antonis was incredibly responsive, helpful and all around pleasant to interact with. He helped us work through multiple versions of our trip always being careful to plan within our budget and also paying close attention to our preferences.

I’m writing this on my way home and I can safely say that the entire 10 day trip throughout multiple cities in Greece went off without a single snag or problem. We loved all the tours and excursions he booked. Complex transportation from hotel to port to ferry to hotel were done effortlessly, efficiently, and without delay thanks to Antonis’s expert planning. We were actually surprised to meet Antonis himself at our first hotel and he was just as lovely in person. He truly listened to the things we liked and didn’t like and the vacation perfectly reflected that. It was almost as if the trip was planned by our very close friend or relative. During our trip he checked in with us frequently and gave some FANTASTIC local food recommendations. I cannot recommend this travel service and this travel agent (Antonis) in particular enough. He is truly a star of the entity and I will continue to use this agency because of him.

The team- and chris- did a terrific job. The tours were great, the locales visited were the right ones and hotels good. The follow up was good until 2 weeks prior to trip. Restaurant recommendations were also terrific. We would definitely use Chris and Kim Kim again. Thank you!

Working with Amalia to plan our trip to Greece was seamless!! Amalia helped plan our 8 day girls trip to Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini from arrival to departure and we were incredibly pleased with everything! She ensured that all of our needs and wants were addressed in the accommodations, she was able to adjust our itinerary as needed, and kept the lines of communication open both while planning and while we were on our trip, which was awesome. All of our accommodations we very clean, comfortable and had amazing views! Also included were delicious and hearty breakfasts that we looked forward to! Our transfers from airport/ port to hotels and back were timely and comfortable.
While in Athens, we had a tour guide for the acropolis and museum. Elizabeth was very patient and helpful in sorting our ticketing issues and most importantly very informative in covering the history of the Acropolis.
While in Mykonos, our hotel concierge Vasilis at the Dreambox was impeccable. He helped plan out our days and nights in Mykonos from start to finish, including any transfers that we would need. His recommendations for sights, food and fun were great, and he made sure we caught the gorgeous sunsets!
While in Santorini, our hotel in Imeroviglia was fairy-tale perfect. Breath taking views of the area and sunset, very spacious, and lots to see and do within walking distance.
Thank you Amalia for everything!!!

Our day cruise was an awesome adventure. While the winds gusts were not in our favor and made for choppy waters, our boat crew made the best of it and were still able to take us to the red and white beaches. The crew was incredibly informative, hospitable and prepared a delicious hearty meal for us. Yanis and Diana were very kind and gave us lots of laughs!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this experience!!

I am a Dad and husband given the responsibility to plan our once a generation trip and I felt huge pressure. It was very easy to contact Nadia and to brief her what we wanted to do. Within a few email exchanges she had an amazing trip planned. My family was so impressed with everything on this trip, from the Mercedes’ shuttles to and from our hotels and daily excursions, amazing hotels, and awesome (educational) tours. I am so grateful for your assistance in this trip and will do so again any chance I get.

Chris was amazing! We cannot thank him enough for all he did to make this trip just what we wanted. He met and exceeded all our expectations. He made himself available on our time schedule to have many conversations to work out the details. The agenda he put together for us was just what we were looking for (a lot of leisure/relax time with a sprinkle of private tours so I could get my history fix). The drivers he used to shuttle us from place to place were AMAZING. They consistently arrived on time or a few minutes early, and always came in luxury vehicles. We could tell Chris put the time into this to make it as stress-free an experience as possible. Every hotel he picked was incredible as well; Hotel Abruzzi with the view of the Pantheon?! UNREAL!). We really cannot thank or recommend Chris enough! Unbelievable experience and cannot wait to do it again :)

The location and view of the Pantheon make this hotel a 4-4.5 Star review in my opinion! The room was a little small and the shower drain was slow to drain the water, which is why I dropped it to 4 stars. However, I would still very much recommend the hotel.

Beautiful hotel. The view is almost hard to take in because of how beautiful it is. However, we found it difficult to find. After our driver dropped us off, the signs on how to get to the actual hotel we vague. We dragged our bags up and down the walk-way (which is on cobblestone path on the side of a hill/mountain) and could not find it. The Limestone is connected/surrounded by two or three other hotels that all look the same. Anyways, finally I found where we go to check in and the gentleman came and helped my wife with her bags. They were very friendly and apologetic, and our stay there was good after that (apart from the A/C breaking the first night; which they did fix the next day). I want to mention the breakfasts - unreal! I have a feeling I will be craving their omelets, fresh fruit and yogurt for many weeks to come. I would go back now knowing how to get to our room! But just beware it might be a frustrating challenge when you first arrive.

Our driver Yanni was among the best parts of the trip. He was professional, always pleasant and very helpful. He went well beyond the call of duty after I got hurt on the mountain bike. The active excursions were very enjoyable also especially the canyoning and waterfalls. Some of the ruin sites were fascinating especially Delphi and Olympia.
The beaches we swam in were delightful and refreshing. I would have liked more diversity in the locations after a while the archeological sites started to blur. I should have requested a trip to the monastery’s in Metiora be part of the itinerary or maybe included an island as a destination or tours of not just archeological sites. Chris was quite accommodating with my request to have my son join us and with putting together such an immersive trip over 18 days. He definitely delivered a trip that had active days as requested and many great memories.

Wow! Just wow! We really didn’t know what to expect with Kimkim because we had never booked such a huge trip online. It felt like a bit of a gamble and an act of trust. But wow…. What an amazing experience!

Harris was our local specialist. His communication in the process was exceptional. He customized our trip to meet our budget and interests. Everything from pick ups at the airports and activities, to top notch experiences, and beautiful hotels - we were very well taken care of.

The ease of this process cannot be beat. We walked off the airplane and were warmly welcomed and driven to our hotel. Tickets for ferries and excursions arrived in the online portal right in time for the activity. We were never overwhelmed or confused.

Drivers were on time, courteous and friendly.

Easy access to kimkim meant we could tweak or change our plans last minute if need be.

Greece is our first stop on a three week European trek. International flights and transfers were arranged for us.

Seriously seamless.

We highly recommend the Miland Suites on Milos. Rent a car and explore this amazing island. Naxos was wonderful too. The Cyano Suites were perfect.

We will use Kimkim again and again. And recommend it to anyone wanting to travel. Exceptional. 5 stars!

Antonis was amazing! Everything was planned perfectly and other than flights there were no issues. He planned a trip of a lifetime with unique excursions that we would never have been able to do on our own!

Super nice location and big rooms! Felt very luxurious. If you are big on cocktails however, the bar only makes a few of the common ones and they were not as good as we could find other places.

SPECTACULAR! This was the coolest experience. The couple was so authentic and very hospitable and friendly. Our translator was super sweet and very knowledgeable. What was so cool with to me was that the translator (as the couple speaks no English) and the couple were actually good friends. It wasn’t just a job to either of them, they all would have been enjoying each other’s company without us being there, so it was like we were invited to a friends house for a casual but fun and delicious meal.

We are very happy with our experience with Kimkim. Nadia was very responsive to our requests and quickly gained a good understanding of our goals and intentions for the trip. She selected high-quality venues and experiences for us, and gave us all the resources we needed to feel confident that we could make the most of our time in Greece.

The trip went very smoothly from start to finish. The hotels were all of good quality in excellent locations. All of our drivers and guides were professional and welcoming. Particularly memorable tour guides were 1. Penny (Delphi) who went out of her way to engage the children and help us see and learn as much as possible of the ruins in a few hours, and 2. Celia (food tour), who was very fun for all of us including the children and also knowledgable and generous with her time and energy. Andreas (driver to Delphi) was also extremely kind and fun to get to know during our long car ride. Feedback for Anna (kids mythology tour) is that at times it was difficult to hear her above the traffic or other city noise (needs a louder voice or wait until we are in a quiet place to speak) - but she did teach us a lot when we could hear her. For Manos (Knossos) - we were a bit frustrated when twice he stopped to take an extended call on his cell phone during our tour; other than that he was knowledgable and made the tour very informative and engaging.

A shoutout also goes to the manager of the Hotel Ariadne in Naxos, who was extremely welcoming and kind to us throughout our stay. We would heartily recommend his hotel to others looking for a stay in Agios Prokopios.

On this trip we achieved exactly the balance we were looking for in visiting historical sites, experiencing Greek culture, eating the best local food, and enjoying the beauty of the Mediterranean while avoiding big tourist traps. Will definitely use kimkim for future trips and have already recommended it to others.

Restaurant Suggestions in Naxos

Naxos

Most of the suggested restaurants were not within walking distance of our hotel, and we did not have a car. Eventually we figured out how to use the public bus to get to the port where one of the restaurants was, but mostly we just ate at restaurants close to our hotel which were ok but nothing too memorable. Our dining experience in Naxos was definitely inferior to that in Heraklion and Athens -- not bad, but nothing memorable like the many highlights we had in the other places.

This was the trip of a lifetime. Angela worked through the details of our itinerary with us, tweaking it as we customized it. She was extremely responsive.

Alexis was a fabulous guide, allowing us to change our plans and then showed us a number of sights that fed our archaeological hunger that were off the beaten path.

Janne was a great driver and turned out to be a wonderful guide on his own as he got us from our hotel in Athens to Delphi and Meteora and back to Athens. He gave us a nice bit of color along the way.

Nicole gave us a tour of Therassia with lots of local information and history. The tour was a bit of death march up hills and stairs, but we saw wonderful caves, a beautiful church, and tasted local figs and plants along the way and got the triumphal sprig of rosemary when we reached the pinnacle!

The one thing I would recommend is doing the tour of Athens and the Acropolis+museum in two four hour days. Or waiting until you have fully recovered from the jet lag. It was more than a bit of a death march and, by the afternoon at the museum, we all felt it was interesting, but just wanted to lie down.

I highly recommend this kind of tour. It was private, just the three of us, and even though the tour guides have an agenda, which gets in the way of in depth exploration, every moment was orchestrated to give us the highest and most comfortable experience possible (except when marching, but that is easily adjusted for in the future).

I will never go on a tour with a large group after this experience and I will definitely use KimKim again for my next trip.

Antonis knows what he is doing!! Amazing trip from beginning to end!! From our transfers always being on time and in style, the adventures and tours he planned for us to the perfect locations of all of our hotels! Trip of a lifetime! Thank you Antonis and Kimkim!!

There were only two of us, plus our guide, so we drove in a nice car instead of a big bus.

Our trip to Greece was amazing. Angela helped me through the booking process and checked in on us during our trip to make sure everything was going well and as planned. This was the first time we'd used a travel service and tour guide, but will not be the last. It was extremely well planned and hit everything that we wanted to see as well as a few extras from our amazing tour leader Giannis Machairas.

I really can't stress enough how much I would recommend Giannis as a tour leader to anyone that likes to have fun even during the boring parts of the trip like driving. We really made a friend for life there.

The mountains and oil trees were amazing and literally everywhere. Delphi was my favorite spot to visit. The ruins were amazing and the view is like none other. The Acropolis and Acropolis museum was also amazing to see in person. The sheer size they used to build stuff at thousands of years ago is astonishing.

I was on the fence about using kimkim as we had never used a travel agency, but they (Angela) did an amazing job and I would highly recommend them. There is nothing that I would change about our trip except maybe make it longer!

Chris did such an amazing job planning our trip to Greece. He was very receptive to changes that we wanted to make early and late in the process. Not only that but I feel like he was very communicative throughout our whole trip. If we had any issues he was right on it. Chris is a true professional and truly loves what he does. To top it all off I got to meet Chris in person in Athens. He didn't have to meet us but he took the time and that is the kind of human you are working with in Chris.

Chris was extremely helpful in organizing the trip and making sure everything went smoothly. No issues at all, and the trip was a blast. Would highly recommend!
