Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

We just returned from an incredible trip to Greece and couldn't be happier with the experience. All of our hotels were excellent - comfortable, clean and perfectly located for easy access to sights and local restaurants. The tours were fun and engaging with knowledgeable guides who shared so much history and local insight. Our drivers were always punctual and professional, taking the stress out of getting from place to place. Highly recommend Kim Kim (Lea and Siena) for anyone wanting to explore Greece without a single worry.

Private Island Villages & Akrotiri Day Trip

Santorini

Great tour for travel around Santorini. Sakis was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and shared lots of history and local insight. Akrotiri was fascinating and as a bonus in an enclosed space out of the sun. Megalochori was a quaint village and the cave house tour was very interesting.

Athens- problems w Gatsby hotel but kimkim issues a partial refund which was great. Mythology tour of acropolis with Michael was stellar. Hotel in chania was so unique, great hospitality and delicious breakfast. Cretan cooking class was way too long and food not so tasty. Samaria gorge and guide was fantastic. Should have told us to bring flip flops for beach at the end because sand was very hot. Knossos and guide fantastic. Added wine tasting since not much else to do in Archanes. Loved hotel and the restaurant below in Naxos. Loved e-bike tour. Overall loved this trip.

We had an absolutely amazing time in Greece! Erica helped tailor the trip to just what we wanted--splitting our time equally in Athens, Naxos, and Santorini. The food tour in Athens was especially enjoyable as was the sunset Acropolis tour. (I highly recommend the sunset tour if you go in the summer--otherwise, it's a bit hot! : ) ) Naxos was perfect--our favorites included the hike up Mount Zas, the e-bike village tour, and watching the sunset at the Temple of Apollo. Of course, Santorini was beautiful, but it was a bit crowded for our taste. Still, we really loved the kayak adventure--and the sunset over the white domes is something we'll never forget. We've worked with KimKim before (on a trip to Brazil) and will certainly work with them again--everything went so smoothly. Thanks, Erica!

Here's my full review it will be lengthy. We started planning our trip with Kim Kim about 18 months in advance. Our agent was Angela. She was very thorough and helpful throughout the whole process. The original group was around 15, which eventually whittled down to three. So as you can imagine there were many adjustments that Angela handled in stride. There was a significant time difference (10 hours), and Angela always got back to me within a day with answers to any questions that I had. I'm not going to lie I was nervous that everything wouldn't be to my liking as we're a world away from Greece. Angela took care of all our travel arrangements down to the very last detail. Day 1 we arrived in Athens, our driver was waiting for us and we were able to communicate with him before stepping off the plane using what's app. Make sure you download the app, because it is the best tool for communicating with your drivers and your travel agent during your stay. We arrived at our 1st hotel with no fuss. The only hiccup was our room wasn't available at the allotted time. We were very tired from almost a 24 hour trip so this was a little frustrating. The staff did offer us free drinks and told us to explore the city a little. We were too tired so we just waited until the room was available. Other than that the staff was helpful with things to do in our area and the hotel was centrally located. Everything was within a 15 minute walk which was perfect! Our tour guide Michael on our 2nd day for our trip to Acropolis was outstanding! I became sick on the tour and he took his time and was genuinely concerned for my well-being. I appreciated that more than he'll know. He was super friendly, answered our groups questions and very knowledgeable about Athens. 10/10 as far as guides go! I highly recommend this tour if you love history. Day 3 we're off to Mykonos. Once again our driver and ferry is set up for us. What a major convenience not worrying about how to get around Greece. The ferries are quite the experience for 1st timers. You have to get in where you fit in as far as getting yourself and luggage on board and off. 😂 But once you do it that 1st time you know what to expect. We did this 3x hopping to different cities. It was quite the experience. We were booked in club level seats so we're quite comfortable during our journey (usually 1.5 -3 hour trips). I enjoyed watching the sea each time. Mykonos Princess Hotel was so beautiful! The views were spectacular and the service was top tier! The staff was excellent and they saw to our every need. We had a boat tour that was fun as well. Next was Santorini. The views, shopping, tours were my favorite! We had land and sea tours in Santorini. The panoramic tour with Santorini luxury travels was excellent! Maria our tour guide, along with her trainee Kimberly and driver Eddy were unmatched! Maria was so welcoming I felt like I was with family. She explained the history of Santorini so well she could have been a professor. It was a beautiful outdoor history lesson. I loved hearing about the culture of this beautiful city. My favorite was the next day and we had our Sunset Catamaran tour. The boat ride was incredible. The views unbelievable! The food they served delicious. That alone cinched my trip for me! We stayed at this quaint boutique hotel, Sole d'oro. The staff was amazing and attentive here as well. Each morning they served us breakfast of our choice (included with our stay) and we ate it outside on our porch. Think little cottages with a patio. The hotel was about a 10 minute walk into the heart of shopping and restaurants. Just perfect! Our last stop was Heraklion, Crete where we stayed at the Happy Cretan Suites. Now this was my favorite resort by far! We wanted our last 2 days of Greece to just be about relaxation before our long journey home. The rooms and grounds were magnificent 5 stars all the way. We never left the resort as everything we needed was provided. Live music, massages, yoga and the food was amazing. Hands down this has been the best 50th birthday trip for me and my family. I would definitely do it again. Angela thank you for guiding us through this whole process. It was an unforgettable experience for us! Perfection! ❤️🫶🏾❤️

Athens Highlights Mythology Tour

Greece

Our tour guide, Michael was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, funny and friendly! I became ill on the tour and he made sure to take his time and was genuinely concerned. I appreciated that!

Erica and Lea were AWESOME with planning our trip to Greece! Both were super responsive to my requests and questions during the planning of this trip. While we're were in Greece, Maria was also amazing in responding to our needs for changes in our itinerary.
Our itinerary included Athens, Milos, Santorini and Mykonas. We enjoyed the Acropolis tour and loved our food tour with Katerina. She was so much fun!
Milos was definitely the highlight of our trip and I wish we would have booked a longer stay there. The full day sailing was incredible! We loved our charming captain, George and his great crew! Our chef provided some of the best food of the whole trip! We rented a car to explore all of the must see spots including the Plakka and Sarakinika Beach. We loved our stay at Konstantinos.
Was alittle disappointed in the sunset sail cruise in Santorini after our amazing day sailing and snorkeling in Milos. We did enjoy the walk from Fira to Oia.
Kayaking in Mykonas was a blast. Overall, Mykonas was crowded and felt very touristy. But glad we saw it.
Would highly recommend Erika and Lea for trip planning and will request them if we travel to Greece again!

We had a great time - hotels were great and the detailed trip plan made everything seamless and easy to follow. Thank you Siena and Lea and others on the team for making our 10 year anniversary trip to Greece so memorable!

Irene was so amazing and helpful throughout the entire process of the trip. We had an absolutely great honeymoon we will never forget.

Private Delphi Day-trip

Athens

Our grandchild, Jake, loved the visit to Delphi. The mythological aspects of the site really engaged him, and having a personal guide who could tailor the experience was invaluable. A definite highlight of the trip.

We enjoyed our trip to Greece. Highlights included an evening photo shoot in Meteora, 2 wonderful days and nights in Imerovigli on Santorini and a food tour in old Corfu town on Corfu. Our transfers from place to place were seamlessly provided by kimkim, however we had to get to the starting point for our Corfu town food tour and that required a little extra planning on our part. Fortunately it is very easy to get a 20 minute bus ride from our hotel to Corfu town. Perhaps we could have used a car for a days exploration on Corfu but the bus worked well enough. A lack of a car meant we didn’t get to the west coast of the island - we chose to relax on the hotel beach instead! A tour of the Acropolis resulted in us going at the same time as many other tour groups and it was crowded. In hindsight we should have done that tour at the beginning of our trip (mid June) rather than at the end (late June) as July and August are peak times and the crowds were definitely building at the end of our trip. We were a little disappointed in our rooms in Meteora and at Zillers in Athens. The Meteora room while it had a partial view of the Meteora rocks was tiny and the bed was sandwiched between 3 walls on a platform such that we had to scoot onto the bed from the end. This made getting in and out of bed difficult. I don’t remember the name of the room but it should be avoided. Similarly room 102 in the Ziller hotel in Athens should be avoided. The room was advertised as an Acropolis view but the Parthenon was almost completely blocked by a tree. The room itself was so small there was really no room for 2 suitcases to be opened at once and the en-suite bathroom was in the room rather than its own separate room. That said we had a wonderful meal on their roof top with the view of the Acropolis I was expecting from our room.

We started the Self-Guided Hike from Fira but chose not to continue all the way to Oia. The views were beautiful, particularly of the caldera. It was satisfying even with our shortened hike.

Olive Oil Tasting Experience

Corfu

The Olive Oil Tasting Experience was marvelous. They picked us up and offered to drop us off at another town. We learned a lot and were able to see more of the island. Highly recommended!

First trip to Greece and KimKim made it an incredible experience! The hotels, excursions, and private transfers were all exceptional. And the additional self-guided tour recommendations were very helpful. Can't wait for our next adventure and KimKim will be a big part of a planning again!

I first want to say that prior to the trip the experience with KimKim was wonderful. I had no issues and with the exception of one day it was a great experience. Unfortunately, the experience afterward did not match the planning. On the 5th day of our 9 day Greece trip, we took a transport boat to meet our guide. There was no guide. Kimkim admitted the mistake was on their part and offered a lunch compensation. Upon arriving home I waited a few days and no one from kimkim reached out to me. I contacted Sienna, our agent, asking her to call me and she passed me on to someone else. They offered to compensate me for the lunch $250 and reimburse me for the guide that did not show up. That was $300 of a $1000 day. The boat cost the remaining $700. Had I know there would be no guide I would not have done that excursion but I was expected to pay for the transportation to the no show guide. Kimkim offered a total of a $550 reimbursement. I told them it did not satisfy me and I was disappointed. This would be reflected it in my review. Later I get an email saying they were reimbursing my card $800. Never explaining why they increased the amount. I had 3 cards on file and they asked which one I wanted reimbursed. I told them and they reimbursed the wrong card, the one that was inactive. Many apologies were offered early on but the mistakes kept coming. Overall, no guide, no contact to rectify the mistake, no contact from our agent and the wrong card credited. Now it’s on me to talk to my bank to get the $800. Customer service was poor and unprofessional.

Everything went perfectly! It was great planning with amazing tours. We learned so many interesting things on the history-type tours, and then ate great foods on the food-type tours. I think the group highlights were the beaches in Naxos, the food tours, and the Catamaran Tour. We got great food recommendations from the hotel staff and KimKim, and all communications were quick and easy! If we needed something updated, it was done quickly and communicated well. I will definitely use KimKim again! It was incredible to have private transfers (made life to much easier) and checking in for our flights for island hopping was so easy.

We ran into Yannis the next day and it was like running into an old friend. We also had a great time with George - our guide for our River Trekking experience. He knew all the great places to stop along the way, went at our pace and offered various options for splitting up due to various thrill seeking levels. Hiking in the river was fun even in the cold water. The views from our final wine tasting/olive oil tasting experience were incredible. Sitting in the mountains and marveling at their beauty and majesty was the perfect way to end a relaxing trip.

Greece Was a trip of a lifetime!! KimKim’s planning and execution of our vacation was so worth it. Almost all of our outings were private and that’s what we like. The hotel selections were over the top. Highly recommended the cooking experience on a farm in Naxos. I ‘m glad we visited Mykonos, but will not go back. Party all night scene, and not for us, however our guide Maria did put us onto a restaurant that we got best table in the house, Food was Amazing and a pop up Greek experience including throwing plates😂😂. Santorini was breathtakingly beautiful!! Next time, no Mykonos , and will add Crete.

Kimkim did a great job planning out a 14-day vacation to see the mainland of Greece, Naxos, Santorini, and Crete. The tours and activities were all that we hoped for combining culture, food, adventure, and history.

We had the most amazing trip to Greece. Planning with Gustavo was easy and he listened to our requests. Transportation from place to place was smooth and punctual. One of our excursions got cancelled (due to weather ) and Lea from KimKim immediately contacted me to get us booked for an alternative. We felt safe and well taken care of, our hotels were amazing and top notch. I will use KimKim again and will recommend them to everyone !

A Truly Unforgettable Greece Experience — Thanks to Angela (Aggeliki)!

We just returned from an incredible 12-day journey through Greece, covering Athens, Naxos, Santorini, Paros, and back to Athens — and wow, what a trip! From the moment we started planning with Angela (Aggeliki), we knew we were in great hands.

She carefully crafted a beautiful, balanced itinerary that combined just the right mix of guided experiences and free time to explore. We absolutely loved the food tour in Naxos, the mythology tours, wine tasting in Naxos, the catamaran cruise in Santorini, and the cooking class in Paros. Each experience felt curated and authentic.

We did have to cancel our private rib boat cruise in Paros (sadly!), but based on everything else Angela put together, we know it would have been amazing. Sometimes things don't go exactly as planned — especially with travel — and that’s where Angela truly shined. When our flights were disrupted at the beginning of the trip (through no fault of KimKim), she stepped in immediately and helped us adjust everything so we could still make the most of our time. Her responsiveness, calm demeanor, and problem-solving were invaluable.

Every transfer, hotel, and activity went off without a hitch. The people, the food, the landscapes — it all exceeded our expectations. And behind it all was Angela, ensuring we had the trip of a lifetime.

Highly recommend using KimKim and especially working with Angela. We’re so grateful for the memories and already dreaming of our next adventure!

Antony Suites in Naxos. It was absolutely amazing — just steps from the beach, beautifully designed, and the farm-to-table breakfast delivered each morning was such a perfect start to our days. The location and hospitality made it hard to leave!

Naxos Old Town Wine-Tasting & Dinner

Naxos

Natasha — if you ever see this, we still talk about that night! The Naxos Old Town Wine-Tasting & Dinner was one of the highlights of our entire Greece trip. The wine, the food, the stories, the setting — everything was perfect. Your passion and knowledge made the evening not just delicious, but memorable in every way. We felt welcomed, relaxed, and truly connected to the spirit of Naxos. Thank you again — we appreciate it more than you know! 🍷🇬🇷
