Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

The boat was great and the skipper Nadine was charming, very experienced and friendly

excellent driver and guide made this a memorable day

Perfect location for amazing views and close to restaurants and shopping. The family run Anthemis is just fantastic. I would go back in a hot minute if I could. It is quiet, relaxing, clean and well run. We loved the cats that came to visit outside and I just loved sitting quitely reading a book and cooling off in the pool as needed. The kids (ages 24 and 21) loved going off to hike, shop or eat nearby. I can't say enough great things about this spot. I 100% highly recommend it if you are traveling to Santorini. There wer3 3 of us and we each had our own bed to sleep in (me in the bedroom, the kids on the 2 songle size couches converted to beds. Breakfast each morning was delicious, we loved the fresh orange juice, coffee and croissants the best, but also enjoyed the fresh fruit, and the yogurt, granola and honey. Artemis helped us with any questions we had and offered places to eat and shop when we asked. I loved it here.

One of my favorite parts - we had a personal tour of Santorini with stops for all the best pictures and so much history! We also did a wine museum tour and wine sampling. It was awesome. Our guide, Marina, was top notch! She was so kind and informative, she shared so many neat facts and details about Greece. We loved it.

This was so much fun. We met some fantstic people from Italy, England, Spain, Canada ans Minnesota. The crew were fun and helpful. The locations were great and we enjoyed swiming, boating and sightseeing. The sunset views are stunning.

Great tour, so informative! It was hot but ok.

The horseback riding at the Black Sandy Beach in Santorini was really good. The people running the activity were fantastic. Highly recommend this experience.

The Real Cretan Cooking Experience in Crete was excellent. It was really well done, and stands out as a favorite activity from the trip.

The Athens walking food tour was really good. We got to try all sorts of delicious food like Souvlaki, Gyros, and Baklava. It was a well-done tour with walks through different markets. Highly recommended.

Our guide for the Acropolis & Museum tour was outstanding. The tour was amazing and the guide was really knowledgeable.

The Caldera morning cruise in Santorini was a bit of a disappointment. I was expecting a small group or private experience as described, but it seemed like a larger group activity. It did not match the description provided. They didn't go to the volcano area where we wanted to go, and the swimming was very limited. The whole experience felt very rushed and like mass tourism.

Amazing hotel, very modern, clean and the roof top restaurant gave us the perfect sunset view of the Acropolis.

Thanos was very knowledgable and easy to talk too. It was nice to take this tour in the evening b/c it was not nearly as crowded. The cruise ships disembark in the morning, thus making it less crowded later in the day. It was also cooler.

Ilia was FANTASTIC! She was easy to talk too and showed us a real food tour where locals eat. The food was delicious and even though the tour was 4 hours in the heat, we didn't feel like it was that long because of the conversation, stops around the city and the various visits with local eateries.

Absolutely Stunning! We had the most amazing time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to experience Mykonos by boat.

We loved Santorini and this tour was catered to our wants and the places we wanted to visit. Everything about Santorini is gorgeous, but it is extremely busy. Many of the go to spots were filled with so many tourists it became difficult to get around.

The staff and location made this hotel special. They really took their time to sit down with us and give suggestions about where to go and things to do. They surprised us with special treats in the room on two occasions. It was lovely.

Great view of the sea but an absolutely horrible location for a family, especially one that specifically asked for non tourist areas. It was so loud each night, all night. It was near alot of restaurants but it felt like we were in Cancun, not Greece. We were hugely disappointed in this location. The guides and drivers all asked why we were there because they openly hate and avoid that area as well.

we definitely took advantage of this being a private tour and had the guide hand tailor it to exactly what we wanted, which was an authentic look at the island. This also was one of our favorite experiences of the whole trip because we got to go into some very tiny villages and remote beaches, which was exactly what we were looking for while in Greece .

this was a wonderful experience. Sadly, we couldn’t go to the island due to the high winds, but the crew made sure to make it incredibly relaxing enjoyable day.

This was absolutely one of our favorite experiences of the entire trip. We loved everything about it and wished it was longer.

Great guide. Great tour!

Great location & view

Great location in a safe area, easy acces to dining, shopping, musuem & good breakfast selection. All the staff is polite & friendly. Front desk is wonderful her name pronounced as Sabika.

We got to taste all the good local dishes like what a local would. Thanks to Lena our expert guide

Sakis Naltsas our private driver& guide is 10/10! Beautiful ancient places. Ask for Sakis for a most memorable experience.

During summer months schedule it as early As possible to avoid crowd & heat.

Marcus our private driver is 10 out 10. He made the trip informative and enjoyable. He’s genuinely passionate about helping you get the most of your day, making sure you’re comfortable & safe. His lunch place is very delicious local dish not commonly served in other place. The view along the way is beautiful, nature & local villages. Ask for Marcus you will have the best day despite of 2-2 1/2 drive each way.

Siena provided placesto go with maps

Spacious rooms and a central location — such a great place to stay

Liana Beach Hotel was a gem in Naxos. We had one room for our family of 5, but everyone slept comfortably. 3 couch beds, 1 bedroom, and 2 bathrooms. We enjoyed the amenities like the pool, spa, etc. Beach chairs on the beach were nice and there are enough that you are not fighting to get a seat. Anytime of the day you could catch a lounger or two. Only note is the beach chairs are on a public beach, so it is very crowded, but it's at the far end of the beach so not as crowded as some of the other areas. Didn't feel crowded at any point at the hotel or beach.

Ava Hotel is in a busy, touristy location, but is very quiet and comfortable accommodations. We could walk out of down and be in the heart of Plaka district. We had 2 rooms that were next to each other (not connecting). Best breakfast of the trip! Would definitely recommend for the Athens area!

We loved this activity! The private boat tour was a nice luxury and a great way to see the island. We caught 2 fish and enjoyed a yummy lunch. Captain and Skipper were very nice, knowledgeable, and friendly with the kids.

We started with a tour of Oia. The guide walked us around, I assume so you do not get lost. However, you lost the freedom to explore as you wished. We went to the Akrotiri site, which was surprisingly more exciting than we expected. There was an another private tour guide that was very kid friendly and made it fun for the kids. Then we went to the Atlantis Experience which I think you could skip honestly. We requested more time at the beach, so we skipped something else and they dropped us off and picked us up from the beach resort.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and kid friendly, but the crowds and heat killed for the vibe for the kids.

We didn't end up doing this trip. It sounded like a good idea when I was planning the trip, but I have learned from multiple vacations that a 5 hour day (or activity) is the max my family can handle. Delphi is 2.5 hours away from Athens, once we realized it would be 5 hours of round trip driving with 3 little kids, we bailed on the plan. We ended up booking a catamaran boat tour instead and it was a highlight of the trip.

Transfers were well timed and professional.

We loved the visit to Maria and Spiro's farm. We made a delicious meal together and enjoyed learning more about their culture, family, and farm. Marty and Spiro do not speak English so the driver is the translator as well. We made a yummy greek meal together, but most of the food was made beforehand, so we ate promptly. The flow was well timed, we didn't feel rushed or awkward sitting around waiting for food to cook. Our three boys (12,10,6) were able to help with the meal prep and enjoyed playing with the animals. One of the highlights of our trip!

Unfortunately we were only at this hotel for one short night and had to leave early in the morning for our flight. We stayed in a penthouse room with plenty of space for our family of five (but would have been nice as a couple to get to experience some of the romantic aspects like the tub in the bedroom). The location was an easy walk to the acropolis and plenty of restaurants.

This was such a unique place to stay - in an old monastery in Old Town Chania. While we were there we were the only ones staying so it was quiet. Irene met us there early, provided amazing breakfasts each day, and was a source of information for restaurant recommendations and helping us find a dentist in an emergency. The room we had worked well for our family of 5. And the location was a very easy walk into Old Town with countless restaurants, shops, and views of the ocean.

I cannot say enough about the Greek breakfast that was provided each day. So much food and all of it delicious. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious. I would not recommend having a car here as the hotel is in old town with narrow roads. We did have to walk down the street for one of our tours as it was difficult for a larger van to approach the hotel but that is the only and minimal downside. You are right in the heart of the town with a very cool area just outside the door to explore shops and restaurants.

Fabulous time ! Highly recommend!

Spacious quarters, located a short walk from the Plaka, the Acropolis, and Arch of Hadrian.

The immersion of this experience on Delos was peak Ancient Greece and our guide Kristos brought it to life!

Two-hour tour was perfect amount of walking up the slopes of the Acropolis. Our guide Calliope was wonderful.

This hotel was very basic, but our room was HUGE, which was very helpful for our family of 4. Excellent location, right near the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Walkable to tons of restaurants and cafes. One thing to note: the hotel has no lobby and has only a very tiny elevator. As there is no common space, overseas travelers will need to find someplace to rest while waiting for an afternoon check in.

A thousand stars for Katerina and Maria!! This was such an incredibly special experience for our family. We made a DELICIOUS Greek meal, swapped stories, and feasted with these wonderful women. It was a way to truly connect with some local people and we loved every second of it. We will treasure the memories and recipes for a lifetime!

Delos was incredibly interesting— it’s an active archeological site. However, I wouldn’t recommend this for small children or for anyone who can’t be in the sun for several hours. It was super enjoyable but exhausting and very hot. Our guide Christos knew SO much and so loved listening to his explanations and especially loved sitting at the Greek theater! Mykonos felt short— just enough time to grab lunch and do some shopping. Perfect for someone who wants to just get a sampling of the island but not enough to really experience it.

Loved our private walk through this adorable village! It was beyond quaint and we were the only people walking around. Our guide Christos was super knowledgeable and interesting and we loved spending the day with him! The olive oil press was so cool and everything was delicious! Would highly recommend!

We LOVED this tour! Kaliope was a fabulous guide and gave us so much interesting information about the temples, the theaters, the history, and the myths. This is exactly the right way to experience the ancient ruins!

I was not satisfied with the Azure Villa Santorini. While it was spacious, it had issues like cockroaches in the kitchen, mildew and mold in the bathrooms, and a water leak. For the cost, it was not a pleasant stay. It also didn't serve breakfast, which was something we missed.

The Athenian Riviera was a wonderful stay. Although we only had one night there, it was a beautiful place with friendly staff and a nice restaurant area.

Athens Manor Houses were great. The accommodations were lovely, making our stay in Athens very enjoyable.

We were super happy with the Vanoro Hotel. The stay was comfortable and met all our expectations.

The Majo Suites Hotel in Naxos was definitely our favorite during the trip. The experience there was just perfect, and we loved everything about it.

The Sunset Caldera Catamaran Cruise was wonderful. We had a great crew and pilot. It definitely made the experience amazing.

We did a tour in Naxos that we really liked. It was a great experience exploring the Old Town with the museum, castle, and Portara. Really enjoyable.

The Private Classic Sightseeing Tour of Thessaloniki with Hello, Thessaloniki and Maria was fantastic. We had the greatest time ever learning and touring with them, and could have easily spent more days doing so.

Complimentary breakfast and wonderful accommodations.

The guy was friendly and knowledgeable.

The staff were absolutely wonderful. The pool and poolside bar were beautiful, with excellent service throughout. While it’s a short walk to the community beach, reserving loungers with umbrellas in town was incredibly easy and very reasonably priced. We loved the beach—plus, the views were simply outstanding.

The location was absolutely beautiful—and thanks to the KimKim team, we were truly beachfront! We stepped right out onto the patio and there was the beach, just steps away. Securing beach lounges was easy, and the staff were incredibly hospitable and responsive to every request. We felt like royalty the entire stay. Ask ChatGPT

The hotel pool was a bit smaller than expected—especially since we ended up using it more often due to the heatwave—but the service and hospitality from the staff more than made up for it. They were absolutely amazing!

This was definitely a family favorite. Our tour guide, Vesolli (apologies if I’m misspelling his name), was outstanding. He made the drive to the beach both entertaining and educational, while still allowing us some downtime to simply enjoy the ride. We’re so grateful for the front-row reserved umbrellas and chairs—they were a premium experience and an absolute must. As soon as we arrived at the beach, our chairs were waiting for us! The drive to the private restaurant in the small local village—featured in National Geographic for its unique historical architecture and preservation—was incredible. It quickly became one of our family’s favorite stops. The small tour group allowed for personal attention while also giving us the chance to meet another family and share the day. The guide even happily accommodated a small last-minute request to stop at a honey farm, which was another highlight. The tour guide from Chania Adventures was absolutely key to making this day such a memorable success.

Our family always includes a cooking experience in our vacations, and the KimKim team absolutely nailed it with this one. The family farm, the kitchen setup, the delicious food, and the take-home recipes were all incredible. What really set this apart was that we actually got to do the cooking ourselves—something many tours don’t allow. It felt like a truly authentic Greek culinary experience, and one we’ll never forget.

Our guide was fantastic—so knowledgeable and engaging. From start to finish, we were treated like royalty. Transportation was seamless: we were dropped off right at the entrance, met by someone who personally escorted us to our guide, and after the tour, walked back to our driver. KimKim removed all the typical travel hassles—we never once had to search or wonder where to go. Everything was perfectly coordinated.

Staff and Crew hospitality outstanding. Food on the boat was terrific. The size with the other families was great, not too crowded. Everything we were promised was provided!

Very good tour guide, and she provided us a full VIP experience. The fact it was just our family made it superior to anything else we saw. We were so grateful, we spent a small amount more to provide this one/one experience.
