Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Wow. KimKim is outstanding. I worked with Sienna for my Greece trip, and we just got back from the trip and it was amazing! planning the trip was easy and smooth sailing. Sienna is always there to answer questions and make sure all our needs were met. We wanted a relaxing vacation but also be able to see the famous spots. She let us know about how each island works and gave us Athens, Naxos and one day in Santorini and it was perfect. FYI please go to Naxos if you visit Greece. During the trip we had a tiny problem with one of our activities because of the weather, kimkim was such a great help and quickly fixed our problem. The drivers were always on time and really helped made this trip stress-free. My only comments would be for one of our hotels we had bad wifi and I had a hard time checking in for my plane tickets. I would suggest asking the team for wifi tips when traveling like buying a sim card, I did not know I would need that. But overall this trip was unforgettable and I will 100% come back to kimkim for another trip!

Achilleas Hotel

Athens

The hotel itself is very cute and pretty. we had a room that would fit three people, it was small but did the job. It did not have a teapot, robes or slippers. So keep that in mind when booking this hotel. But other than that everyone is super sweet, breakfast was yummy! and overall a cozy spot! wifi is very slow!!

Only reason this place is not getting 5 stars is because that wifi was HORRIBLE! the only way I could use my phone was right outside the hotel. but other than that we loved this hotel! we had a perfect beach view and the hotel is located right by the beach!! the breakfast was outstanding and the staff was super sweet and easy to reach! you even get a percent off when you want to buy beach chairs. The hotel is so cozy and fits the Greece vibes, and this hotel is very close to the main town of Naxos so you do not need a taxi!

Make sure to have this booked early in the morning and not when it is hot. It is a very long walk and long guide overall so make sure you have water with you at all times. The guide was very sweet and had a lot of knowledge. The Acropolis was gorgeous and a must need to see in Greece.

I'm a kimkim staff member and was sent on a particular assignment where I had the pleasure of experiencing the kind of trip our travelers get to (thanks to the nature of the assignment and the Greece team's knowledge of the Ionians, culture, and operations—shout out to Alyssa, Siena, and Lea!). And while there was work to be done in between the fun, the private transfers, the hotels (Irida Boutique Hotel in Parga and Bella Venezia Historic Boutique Hotel in Corfu Town deserve special mention), and tours were awesome. The market shop and lunch in a local's house on Corfu was particularly memorable thanks to our fabulous host, Yorgos, as was touring a bee farm and meeting the family behind an olive oil press on Kefalonia.

There were a few hiccups along the way (a private transfer wasn't waiting for us as planned), but all were resolved quickly thanks to the app and the fast responses to my panic from the team.

Parga was a pleasant surprise. Touristic, yes, but for good reason. It's a nice resort beach town that had a really fun, energetic vibe, but Corfu was definitely the highlight of my trip. Oodles of culture, fantastic restaurants, and, like everywhere we traveled in the Ionians, warm-hearted people.

We took our granddaughter to Greece for her 16th birthday! We had used kimkim last year for a trip to the Lofoten Islands for her brother's 16th. Their service is impeccable from the initial planning to helping you when you are abroad. You work with agents who have traveled extensively to the places you are planning to visit and they tailor the trip to the needs of the group. Our trip took us to Athens, Nafplio, Paros and Santorini. Nafplio was a total surprise and probably one of our favorite places. We had our best meal there and had a fabulous guided kayak and snorkel trip with George. It was the first capital of Greece and the old town is totally charming with great restaurants and shops and not crowded with tourists. The catamaran cruise in Paros was also a highlight especially for our granddaughter. She loved the stop where she could jump off a 30 foot cliff into the water. The grands loved taking the pictures and also swimming in the crystal blue water. Santorini sunsets are amazing and we could go on and on. If we ever had a problem or were worried about a driver being late, we just texted and had an answer in less than a minute. Thank you for making the entire vacation so seamless.

We loved our views from this hotel! It's much quieter than being directly in Fira. Its location is close to Fira and right on the hiking route from Fira to Oui. We could easily walk to many restaurants and weren't disturbed by the masses embarking from the cruise ships. The service is impeccable! You need to walk down steps to get to registration but there was always someone to take your luggage up or down the steps. We loved sitting on our balcony at night watching the sunset and boats in the water. It does not have a swimming pool, but there is one in their sister hotel, Grand View, that you can shuttle to.

There are many seafood restaurants to choose from with a few blocks of the hotel.

George was amazing! We loved being on the water and we loved snorkeling over the sunken city. I have to admit that I thought the sunken city was going to be huge, but it's not. You get up close and personal to the old jugs and walls of the city. George and Lucy (his dog who kayaks with you) made the whole day!

Day Cruise Sailing

Paros

Loved the size of the boat and the comfortable seating. We had such a great time meeting new folks, swimming in crystal clear water and jumping off cliffs.

I cannot express the amount of ease and comfort we had with our trip to Crete. Effie listened to everything I requested and stayed in my budget. The hotels she chose were absolute perfection. A big shout out to the team over at SanSal in Chania, what a great place to stay! Every driver we had provided so much additional knowledge to our journey. Bill made the drive to Elafonisi beach an absolute highlight of our trip - so much care and comfort went into making sure we had a good time and the conversation along the way was a once in a lifetime, that is probably the most standout day among many stand out days. Kimkim rolled with some last minute schedule additions, some forgotten items at a hotel earlier in our trip, and they literally had our needs addressed before we even realized what we were going to need. We are at the stage in our lives that organizing a trip like this independently would add more tension and more stress during our vacation, having to navigate the tiny ancient streets and windy mountain and costal roads would have made the trip a point of contention and stress for us. Knowing that we had assistance when we needed it and safe and thoughtful tour groups and drivers was such a gift.

We had a wonderful two-week trip through Greece with my two boys, combining Athens, Delphi, Olympia, the Peloponnese, Costa Navarino, Nafplio and Mycenae. Overall, the itinerary was very well designed: it gave the children a real sense of Greek history while leaving enough time for swimming, boating and simply enjoying the country.

Some of the highlights were the guided visits to Delphi, Olympia and Mycenae, as well as our day on the water with Andrea / Mani. Guides in Delphi and Olympia were amazing. From our discussion and written descriptions, it seemed that it’d be more interactive / digital but in practice none of this - that being said worked really well with paper bc my kids are used to this but for other families that could be a surprise. Costa Navarino was also a great choice with children and gave us a very welcome few days to slow down after the more active part of the trip. But some recommendations & conditioning could have been done. The balance between cultural visits and downtime worked particularly well for a family trip.

Anna was very responsive and helpful throughout the planning process and while we were in Greece. She was also flexible when we wanted to adjust a visit on our last day.

Where the experience was less strong was in the overall value added by booking through Kimkim. For a fairly high-end trip, I still found myself managing or researching quite a few details during the vacation — restaurants, activities, some logistics and what to do in our free time. A few more tailored recommendations and arrangements could also have been more proactive or more carefully tailored to traveling with two young children. At times, it felt more like a collection of well-booked components than a fully curated trip where everything had been anticipated for us. A good example are the stops on the road which felt generic to anyone vs to us. So, magnitude of markup from Kimkim I don’t think is justified and for this reason I’m not sure I’d book again with kimkim.

That said, the core itinerary was excellent, the local guides and experiences were very good, and most importantly my boys and I came home having had a fantastic and very memorable trip to Greece.

This trip was amazing! Chris booked eight of us according to our needs, and also provided a wonderfully eclectic experience! We chose to break up into two groups of four so we could see different places, and the timing of the split was perfect. It was wonderful to see so much of Athens, staying in three different hotels, and all were unique in their own ways. The car rentals went very smoothly too. We talked the whole trip about how wonderful Chris' arrangements were, and how much we appreciated the recommendations and free time. He was also very responsive whenever we had questions while on the trip.

My only recommendation is for the car rental: the Nissan Qashqai, while very comfortable, would not allow for turning off driver assist. This meant if I hugged the shoulder to let cars pass, the wheel would automatically and immediately move the car back into the center of the lane. It pinged whenever I drove 1kph over the speed limit. Not ideal for local driving behavior! The rental agency contact said, "this is a good car, but not a good car for Greece." The Ibiza SEAT was perfect though!

Please know the tour guides were wonderful. Irene at the Acropolis group tour and Penny at the Delphi private tour had us laughing, taught us a great deal, were very caring about the heat and shade, and thorough in where to go at the end of the tour. Experiencing two different styles of tours was also very thoughtful! Penny was delightful, and we still quote her.

Thanks for all your help with this trip. Apart from a few hiccups all went as planned and we loved Greece.

I literally googled travel agency and found KimKim, read the reviews and gave it a shot. Pretty risky but worth the gamble. Erika was knowledgeable and accessible. She listened to what we wanted from our vacation and delivered an itinerary that matched our needs. Each stop along the way was planned out perfectly. All travel accommodations between islands and for our excursions were seamless. We enjoyed the local tour guides that we were set up with and just had the most memorable time. Everything was planned in the app and just made it easy for us to relax and enjoy. I never leave reviews. If you’re on the fence about booking your trip with KimKim just do it.

Both hotels were amazing, especially the Limeni Village Hotel, that was just fabulous! I could spend the rest of my life there!

The Athens Manor Houses were also super nice, but it was a bit of a shame that the breakfast room is downstairs without any windows. The breakfast was great, though, they even had all the ingredients for pancakes with bacon and maple syrup :)

And the guide of the food tour was really great, I forgot his name unfortunately, but he is a great guide, very fun, knowledgeable, and really good in getting warm with a group of people :)

I worked with Penny initially to coordinate the trip and she was absolutely wonderful. The week before we were to leave, I wrote to Penny to set up a call only to learn she had left the company. This was quite unsettling to me. Penny told me she personally would pick us up at Athens airport when we arrived and help get us settled at our hotel. I am an older woman and was with my 12 year old granddaughter (who is very tall and appears to look 17-18 years old). I suffer from a serious medical condition causes me to lose consciousness under certain circumstances.

First day we were picked up a hotel for a “walking tour” in Athens, The driver dropped us off on a corner, told us to go under the street and meet somewhere for group. Very unclear where to go. The What’s App only worked with WiFi connection that we did not have. It took us several minutes to connect with anyone, and finally met up with the group. The tour guide walked extremely fast and combined with extended periods of just standing was more than I could do. I had to stop and sit down. We gave back the devices and went on our own after that point. It was not a pleasant experience at all and very confusing as to where to be and when.

The day continued with several issues including the curtain holder in our hotel room falling off the window on my head. Jet lag did not help us at all either.

Our honeymoon in Greece was absolutely unforgettable\!

After all the stress of planning our wedding, we decided to use a travel agency to take the pressure off planning our honeymoon, and it was one of the best decisions we made\. Everything was thoughtfully planned for us\. All we had to do was book our flights and show up\!

Our trip was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation\. We enjoyed incredible excursions while still having plenty of time to unwind and soak in the beauty around us\. Every part of our honeymoon was memorable, from taking a cooking class to swimming in the crystal\-clear Aegean Sea\. We were completely in awe of the beauty of both Crete and Santorini\. The food in Crete was some of the freshest and most flavorful we’ve ever had\!

The special touches throughout our trip made it even more magical\. Walking into a room filled with roses and ending our honeymoon in Santorini with flower petals and candles waiting for us was so thoughtful and romantic\.

We also loved the photo book, and it arrived on my birthday, which made it feel like such a special birthday gift\! Receiving a birthday card and a welcome\-home card afterward was another thoughtful surprise\. It’s those little personal touches that truly set Kimkim apart\.

We can’t stop recommending Kimkim to our friends and family, and we already can’t wait to book our next adventure with them\. A million stars\! ⭐️

Anna was a helpful and attentive specialist and was in touch with me before and during the trip. Our transportation was smooth and she was quick to resolve any issues. I hadn't know that one of our hotels would be quite far from the sightseeing spots or that the local transportation was infrequent and unreliable (no Lyft/Uber on Paros, and private transfers are 50 Euro one way) so at the last minute I rented a car so that we could explore the island. Anna was helpful at finding what seemed like the last available automatic car on the island.

Chris was absolutely amazing and set up the trip of a lifetime for us! I would definitely use kimkim again!!!

She was amazingly knowledgeable not only on the history, but the relationship between the people, cultures, religions, and happenings of ancient Greece to the modern climate.

Our travel guide Chris was phenomenally receptive, quick to respond, and brilliantly knowledgeable about our travel plans. He was always so quick to help us out at any point of the day. We were very lucky to have him planning out our trip for us.

We had a great time. Our travel specialist connected us with all the "must-see" items on our list. He coordinated our flights and transfers and made it so easy for us to follow in the kim-kim app. We had great hotel staff, friendly drivers, and excellent guides.

Our trip was FANTASTIC! All of our guides were absolutely fabulous and every driver was on time (usually early) to pick us up. We especially loved Dora from our Acropolis tour and Katarina from our e-bike tour in Santorini. Really, every guide was FANTASTIC! We loved the catamaran tour in Milos (the captains/guides were great - I know one is named George) and our Greek Cooking class in Paros (so much fun)! We really had so much fun doing everything we planned.

We absolutely LOVED Senia Hotel in Paros. The staff was exceptional, the views and pool amazing, the food and service were top-notch, the location perfect and overall staying there was absolutely fantastic!

We also really loved our hotel in Santorini, Agali Houses. The accommodations were spacious and very nice, we had another amazing view and the location was fantastic. Whew those steps - you really can't be out of shape to climb those! We felt bad for the porters carrying our bags.

We also really liked Niche hotel in Athens. The rooftop was great, location perfect and the breakfast was one of our favorites of all the hotels we stayed at. The only negative was the rooms were small (but very nice) - but I guess that is to to be expected in a big city.

We had the absolute BEST time and loved meeting so many amazing people from Greece and other travelers from around the world and eating the most amazing food. The only thing I would have done differently is possibly added a day to each island (we did 2 nights Athens, and 3 islands, 3 nights each) so we had more time to relax and explore or only go to two islands and stay at each one for 4-5 days. With the travel it just cut into our time at each island and we were all a little tiered those days. Thank you so much for all the planning! We would highly recommend KimKim to anyone planning a trip.

We had two rooms in two different buildings which was fine but not idea. Just not as nice of a view as we had at other hotels and a little further of walk to shopping/restaurants, but not terrible.

The staff was great - they just had less staff but everyone we interacted with was very kind and helpful.

Beautiful hotel in a great setting. Hotel steps are steep and there are lots of them so just be aware of that. The views from our room were AMAZING and we were in a fantastic location.

Very nice staff - just not as many staff. The pool bar was not at the pool (you had to walk up a level) and they stopped serving food at 4:00 pm (not a huge deal).

Dora our guide was amazing. A little long for our teenage daughters but we were also jet-lagged and it was very hot even in the morning.

Morning Horseback Ride

Paros

We really enjoyed this activity but for some reason we thought it was on a beach and it definitely was not - but we could see the sea. Since we are not experienced riders some of the fear we had was due to our inexperience - we didn't do anything too hard but we just weren't used to riding horses and we did have to ride up some narrow spaces and we did have to navigate around some cars. But the guides and horses lead the way and everything was very safe and it was a great way to see a different view of Paros.

Santorini

We absolutely LOVED Katarina. She was so knowledgeable, and it was great to see another part of Santorini. We made some great stops along the way. She was also did a fantastic job of making sure we were all well-hydrated and changed our route a bit when my daughters didn't love going downhill.

Traditional Greek Cooking Experience in a Hotel Garden

SO MUCH FUN! Our chef and all her staff were fantastic. The food we made was delicious, and we loved meeting so many other people at the class. There was also a plentiful supply of Greek wine. This was my favorite activity.

Private Evening Neighborhood Walk

Athens

Our guide was great and it was the first thing we did upon arriving in Athens. He introduced to the amazing Greek gelato and we loved seeing the old neighborhoods and some historical sights. We ended at dinner where he made some great recommendations.

Self-guided Exploration of Milos Highlights

Milos

We rented a car which made it easy to see various beaches/sights, sometimes parking was difficult because it was quite busy and the roads are quite narrow so you have to be especially careful of buses and other vehicles.

We had an amazing experience working with Eirini to plan our trip to Greece! We told her we wanted to visit Athens and Santorini, see the major historical sites, and stay somewhere close to everything—and she executed our vision perfectly.

From the detailed pickup directions, to the seamless transportation, to the wonderful tour guides, every part of our trip was thoughtfully planned and completely stress-free. Everything ran smoothly, allowing us to simply enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics.

Her attention to detail, organization, and local knowledge made all the difference. We felt taken care of every step of the way, and it truly made our vacation unforgettable. We highly recommend Eirini to anyone planning a trip to Greece. Thank you for making our dream vacation such an incredible experience!

I used the kimkim app frequently during our stay. It was a great reference filled with so much information. Chris placed us at all the hotels where we needed to be. He was quick to respond to all my questions and was soo helpful and courteous. We could not have had a better experience. For hotels, our favorites were Monisteraki and Heliotrope. Monisteraki breakfast was so fresh and delicious. We loked the layout of the rooms with the loft. Heliotrope had such variety and their restaurant was excellent. Balcony rooms overlooking the pool and water were memorable. Skala was lovely on Patmos, within walking distance of shops and the marina. We were not at Avra long enough to appreciate it. The restaurant food was very good and it was ×within walking distance from the beach. Least favorite? Federalis due to mold in the shower and Achilles which had the least of accommodations. The driver who took us from Athens airport twice was not only a driver but a guide as well. He was very courteous and a patient driver. We had him twice for sure. I know he drove us to Achilles hotel. Again, I must say thank you, thank you to Chris who made it easy for this old lady to return to her roots. If you need a review about anything else, just reach out. I will be happy to help the next traveler.
