We had an amazing trip to Sicily, and loved working with our local specialist Lorenza! She was so easy to work with and attentive and worked with us through several itineraries as we finalized our trip. She was also super responsive while we were on our trip to one small glitch we had and was willing to answer any questions we had. We loved every part of our trip and hard to pick a favorite. We love history and archeology so loved Salinunte, Valley of the Temples, Syracusa Greek Theater and Amphitheater as well the theater in Taromina. Also went to Syracusa (specifically stayed in the island of Ortigia) and Taromina a must.

All our guides were truly wonderful! Chaira (Palermo), Carmelina (Valley of the Temples), Azzurra (Selinunte), Sabine (Ragusa), Giuseppe (Syracuse Neapolitan Archaeological Park) and Aureliano (Taromina Theater). Chaira, Sabine, Aureliano and Carmelina were particular standouts but all wonderful!

The Gems of the Amalfi Coast and Eternal Rome vacation was my family's favorite and most memorable trip we've taken together. I usually plan our family vacations, but I was less confident about planning an international trip that would require either renting a car or scheduling multiple transfers during the trip. I decided to contact kimkim. I was so fortunate to have been connected with Chris. He listened to what I wanted, made adjustments along the way, and created a dream vacation for my family. He even arranged transportation for my oldest child to join the rest of the family on the second day, which was when she completed a summer term abroad. In addition to Chris, Maria was our local contact. She was always just a text away to answer questions and to provide us with drivers' contact information and pickup times. Having our activities and transportation taken care of allowed us to have a more relaxing and enjoyable vacation. The accommodations were another excellent aspect of our vacation. The Charme Spagna Boutique Hotel in Rome was a little gem! The room was comfortable and quiet, breakfast was excellent, and the staff were so kind and accommodating. In Sorrento, we enjoyed Hotel Leone with its lovely pool and patio, delicious breakfast, quiet but convenient location, and friendly staff. When we ended our trip with another stay in Rome, we found the accommodations at The Republic to be outstanding. Again, the rooms were comfortable and spacious, the staff accommodating, and the breakfast very enjoyable. The activities were where we truly made our memories, and Chris selected the perfect ones for our family. My family of five had so much fun at our Mediterranean cooking class at Villa Pane (even my 17-year-old son enjoyed it). Luca took us on an amazing tour of the Amalfi Coast, sharing many stories about local history and landmarks. We were so grateful that he was driving on the narrow and busy road! Paola was the most entertaining and engaging tour guide on our visit to Capri and Anacapri. She really took care of our group and made sure we had the best experience. Our private tour of Pompeii was fascinating. Our guide there was extremely interesting and informative, as was our guide at the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museum. We were impressed with and appreciative of the knowledge all of our guides shared with us. We were also grateful not to be part of a large tour group. The most people we were grouped with were another family of five. Another great thing about our vacation was that not every moment was planned. We had free time to explore Rome and Sorrento, visiting places that we chose along the way, including the beach in Sorrento and various historical sites and museums in Rome. We made the most of our time in Italy without stress, thanks to Chris, Maria, and the kimkim team. Now that we're home, we can't stop looking at our photos and dreaming of our next trip to Italy.

Hotel Reviews
The Republic
Roma

We found the accommodations at The Republic to be outstanding. We were graciously welcomed at the front desk. Our family of five was assigned two spacious and comfortable rooms. We were even treated to a surprise bottle of Chianti when we arrived. Because it was so hot when we were visiting in July, we were happy to have a nice, luxurious shower in the room. Our family also enjoyed the breakfast with its variety of hot and cold foods, fruits, and beverages.

Authenticity & Character
From the treatment of the staff to the quality of the furnishings and comforts in the room, this hotel feels high-class.
Location
This hotel was convenient to the Rome Termini Station. We found the metro an easy way to travel across the city. We found some restaurants and shops within walking distance that had a more local/authentic vibe than some more centrally located ones.

Hotel Leone
Sorrento

We enjoyed Hotel Leone with its lovely pool and patio, delicious breakfast, quiet but convenient location, and friendly staff. Our family of five had two rooms, which were conveniently assigned next to each other. Because it was so hot when we visited in July, we were glad to have the pool. We only wish it had stayed open past 7 PM.

Authenticity & Character
Location
It was nice and quiet outside of the main square of Sorrento, but it was easily walkable to all the restaurants and shops.
Staff
They were friendly, and the breakfast staff was especially attentive.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The housekeepers kept our rooms very nice. We also enjoyed having a balcony.
Charme Spagna Boutique Hotel
Rome

The Charme Spagna Boutique Hotel in Rome was a little gem! The room was comfortable and quiet, breakfast was excellent, and the staff were so kind and accommodating. My family arrived very early in the morning in Rome. Although our room wasn't ready, the staff kept our luggage while we explored. They were able to open the room to us earlier than expected, which was nice since we were jetlagged. Of all the hotels we stayed in, my children enjoyed the breakfast and snacks here the most. Our room even opened to a lovely patio, where we enjoyed our meal. The hotel is also in convenient walking distance to Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps.

Authenticity & Character
Location
Convenient to Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and the Capuchin Crypt.
Staff
The front desk staff were extremely kind and accommodating. They kept our luggage before we could get into our rooms and after we checked out, before our train out of Rome.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The bed and shower were fantastic!

Melanie made this family trip a once in a lifetime trip. We started planning over 20 months ahead and she led me through all the necessary details once I laid out things we wanted to see and places we wanted to visit. She set up a couple of unbelievable events that made the trip beyond description. I had 13 of my family the first week and 11 continued onto week 2. She made all the arrangements for our visit from hotels and tour guides; all of which were the best! I even asked her to make some dinner reservations away from tourists and they were all great restaurants reserved! The suggestion of the private boat tour out to Capri was worth the entire trip - it was fabulous! My daughter and granddaughters called her throughout the trip to locate the tour guides or see verify the plans for the day and she was always available to us. In fact, there were times when I called from the states and it was late at night, when she was homes with her kids but still answered the phone and handled all my questions. She and her team were the greatest! I would never do an Italy tour without them!

What an amazing trip! Martina worked closely with me to plan our trip to Italy, from Rome to Santa Margherita, to Cinque Terre, to our villa, and ending in Florence.

What an amazing trip! Martina worked closely with me to plan our trip to Italy, from Rome to Santa Margherita, to Cinque Terre, to our villa, and ending in Florence. She gave great ideas and scheduled wonderful drivers like Ileana and Simone to get us from the train station to our hotels. When our train cancelled in Pisa, Lorenzo at KimKim made sure we got picked up and got us to our hotel in Santa Margherita. We had the most amazing tour guide, Elisabetta, in Santa Margherita take us on a beautiful walk to Portofino. And Martina's suggestion of an evening trip to Camogli was spot on. We loved watching the sunset there. Our boat tour in Cinque Terre was fabulous with Fish and Chill and the list goes on and on. Everything was thoughtfully planned and well executed. I will use KimKim again for sure.

We had a wonderful experience with Kimkim and Travel12. Tasos was exceptional and insured all details for the trip were meticulously planned. Everything was run professionally and couldn’t have been smoother. Valentina was the best way to start on the golf cart tour of Rome. She is terrific. The colosseum and forum tour with Giuseppe was great with a ton of information. Every driver we had took great care of us all around Italy. The highlight of the trip was a tour of Cinque Terre with Elisabetta, the best guide we’ve experienced! It was entertaining watching the glass blowing in Murano and the tour of Venice and St. Marks with Nico was a perfect ending to our trip. Would certainly recommend each of these excursions and the overall experience. Thanks
