Overall the trip was wonderful. The cities that were selected for our journey through Ireland by Aleksandra were a diverse mix of Irish old and new. Dublin, Waterford, Cork, and Galway were incredible. The history of the Viking conquest and settlements, the ancient castles that we visited, the uniqueness of each city was unforgettable. The guides in each city were genuine and so open to explain whatever we asked.
Our accommodations in each city were right where we had asked then to be, near or in the central part of town. They are different from American hotels but the were comfortable and provided what we needed. Overall, the hotel breakfasts were good, especially at the Dooley in Waterford.
Tha transportation that was provided was good. Most drivers were in contact with us the day before and got us to our destinations on time.
Overall a great first overseas trop for us. The only negative I have and it's a small but important one is that when there is a need for us to make our own transport to a location that was booked for us, that it be stated in the itinerary not left as a surprise.
Thanks again for the experience and we will be using your services again.

We had a great trip. Our drivers from the airport to various areas around the country were timely and nice. Some quieter than others. Our best driver was Gerry who drove us to the Cliffs of Moher. He was so delightful. We loved interacting with him. A lot of laughs.
The hotels in Dublin and Belfast had wonderful bellman and staff. When we were in Galway we would have preferred a different hotel. It was nice but not quite up to the Grafton Hotel and the Grand Central Hotel . All the tours arranged were fun and entertaining. I’m hoping to return one day to see Southern Ireland.

First, Alice was lovely to work with! She accommodated all of the changes we requested and proactively adjusted our itinerary to work around a general strike. All of our hotels were exactly what we had requested and the transportation options were perfect. The only bump in the trip was the Giants Causeway/ Game of Thrones excursion and my husband already provided Alice with feedback about that day.
We will use KimKim again and have recommended it to our friends and family!

We enjoyed all of our private tour guides:
Mydie in Dublin - she had a deep knowledge of Irish history and we had an informative two hour plus walk through Dublin. Chris in Edinburgh - he too was very informed on Scottish history and the city of Edinburgh. Our two hour plus walk through Edinburgh was fantastic.
Stuart for our day in St. Andrews - the day was fantastic and a bucket list item for us. Stuart was full of Scottish history as well - and was able to get us around St. Andrews to our desired stops with ease.
Our nine-day, eight night trip was everything we had hoped for and more. Aleksandra of Kimkim put together a great itinerary, working with us to ensure we'd see what we wanted plus added some great recommendations. All worked out well.

A fantastic hotel. Convenient to everything. The rooms are large. The Snug Bar is a fantastic place to hang at the end of the evening.

Loch Ness, Glencoe & the Highlands

Edinburgh

This is a good trip if you are interested in seeing the Scottish highlands. The boat tour on Loch Ness is only 45 minutes and perhaps not worth doing. We instead ate lunch in the village and walked around - enjoying seeing boats go through the locks.

Our driver was knowledgeable and kept the group on time. He talked the entire twelve hour trip - it was a bit much.

Mydie was our guide and provided us a fantastic tour of Dublin. She shared the history of the city and the history of the Irish Republic, visiting many locations relevant to 1916 rebellion. I highly recommend this tour and Mydie.

St Andrews Private Tour via The Forth Bridges, East Neus and Standing Stones of Lundin Links

Edinburgh

This tour was tremendous. Our guide, Stuart, picked us up at our hotel and the fun began. He provided us an incredible amount of information about Scotland as we drove first to Falkland Village in the Kingdom of Fife - where the first episode of Outlander was filmed. We then made our way to St. Andrews where we walked the course (it was a Sunday - the course was closed for golfing but open to the public for walking). We spent the day touring the course and the town of St. Andrews. We highly recommend this tour and Stuart.

We had such a wonderful honeymoon in Ireland. Thank you, Aleksandra, for getting this trip together for us so we could enjoy the visit without having to fret with booking hotels, tours, and experiences. We loved the walking tours learning the history of Dublin, Jameson, and Guinness, the food and culture tours in Kilkenny and Galway, our free day in Cork where we got to enjoy the English Market, the incredible views at the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren, and capped off with a relaxing stay at the K Club. Usually, after a vacation, we're ready to head back home and go back to our day-to-day, but we could have easily spent another couple of weeks in Ireland. We can’t wait to come back.
