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.

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

We had a fantastic 10 day family adventure to Southern Italy! Bea matched our request for experiential travel, great food and learning opportunities for our school-age kiddos, giving us a great blend of seaside, countryside and labyrinth cities. We particularly loved the food tour with Luca in Sorrento, the views and lemons treats on our hike with Lisa, and the kindess extended by Claudio and chefs as we made some delicious meals and desserts. Highlights for the adults included the great restaurant recommendations, the kids loves Pompeii, and we all enjoyed a day on the boat to enjoy the Amalfi Coast. It truly was a magical, pasta-filled vacation.

Magi House Relais
Sorrento

Fantastic location in the historic center and near the park overlooking the bay, kind and helpful staff. Room was a bit cramped/lacking privacy with 2 kids. Great spot to explore and get lost in the streets - and the room was quiet in spite of the action outside.

Great ride for a family - smooth roads, easy pace, with multiple stops to learn about the history and olive groves we rode through.

Come hungry! Our guide was charming, fun to speak with and learn from. So happy we booked this around dinner - a beautiful time to explore the city and seaside restaurants on an otherwise hot day. Very accommodating for our crew's mixed dietary needs (allergies, some vegetarian).

We just returned from our 13-day family adventure to Italy with six different stops and it was outstanding. Kimkim and Melanie in Italy are the best.

We just returned from our 13-day adventure to Italy that we coordinated via our local specialist Melanie. It was superb. This was our second kimkim trip (the first was to the Galapagos) and I can't imagine planning a trip any other way.

We just returned from our 13-day adventure to Italy that we coordinated via our local specialist Melanie. It was superb. This was our second kimkim trip (the first was to the Galapagos) and I can't imagine planning a trip any other way. It is such a treat to have someone knowledgeable and thoughtful like Melanie to talk through the itinerary, make adjustments, handle all the hotel reservations and transfers and activities and guides and then to be able to focus on enjoying each stop. And when small things occur, to have someone just a WhatsApp text away, who responds immediately with support and guidance. Giovanna's texts each evening with the next-day plans were terrific. So much more to say about their attention to detail, etc. But basically the headline is don't hesitate to book an Italy trip through kimkim and Melanie.

Hotel Gardena Venezia
Venice

Lobby is a bit underwhelming with torn couch upon entry and ugly old furniture to the side. But rooms are clean and comfortable and the courtyard for breakfast is lovely.

Woman at front desk was a bit intense. Not a warm welcome but we worked it out.

Adequate hotel.

Central Wellness Hotel Sorrento
Sorrento

Two-room family room was new and fresh and great. Pool was nice. A bit of noisy tree-cutting or something adjacent during our stay but probably not a long-term issue. Would recommend.

It's far from the action which is a plus and a minus depending on your preference.

Relais Le Clarisse Rome

This hotel was wonderful except for one person at checkin. GREAT location. Love Trastevere. Loved the courtyard. The rooms had enormous charm. Having to use phones to get in rooms was not awesome.

Our guide here was very friendly. We loved seeing the David and some of the other art. But again, as was typical for some of the guides, it was like she was reciting a memorized script and could not adapt to younger kids or husband who was just not that interested in all the detail.

Our guide arrived harried. She had just completed another tour. This was somewhat typical for some of the guides. Too overworked in the summer. Still, we learned a lot.

We liked Giovanni a lot. We did not go into St. Marks because of long line and heat. But enjoyed the explanation of the square, etc.

Pompeii is amazing. But our tour guide Daniel was extremely gruff. Too overworked like some of the others. He did not like to be interrupted with questions. Nevertheless, enjoyed.

Both great. Our favorite guide of the tour was Santos for our golf cart tour. Didn't see much of the Jewish Quarter but got a feel for Trastevere and Rome in general. Colosseum was a delight to see. And we asked the guide to take us to the Arch of Titus as well, which I had wanted to see.

Hi Janine,
thank you so much for leaving your review! Of course thanks to whatsapp we were in touch daily.
I'm sorry about the guides and if they seemed overworked, as you can imagine the summer, the heat, the crowds (especially this year with the Jubilee) is really taking a toll on them, but in no way is this an excuse, so thank you for acknowledging that and understanding.

Hi Janine,
thank you so much for leaving your review! Of course thanks to whatsapp we were in touch daily.

I'm sorry about the guides and if they seemed overworked, as you can imagine the summer, the heat, the crowds (especially this year with the Jubilee) is really taking a toll on them, but in no way is this an excuse, so thank you for acknowledging that and understanding.

I'm pleased you enjoyed the Hotels, Le Clarisse is definitely a favourite of ours too, being in such a large busy city and then enjoying the calmness and charm, really helps recharge!

The Central Wellness was picked because it's not right in the center but not too far away, being in the center of Sorrento, especially when on such a busy schedule and with kids, can really take it's toll as young tourists are often in the streets until 3am (I'm sure they think it's Ibiza) so being a little tucked away, really helps on the sleep factor!

I know Isernia was a success too, of which me and Givoanna are so happy about, fate after all!

I tried to add the hotel in Ischia for you but as it's not yet in the kimkim's DB we didn't make it in time for the review, but I know how much you liked that too.

Thanks again Janine and your family for booking with me, I'm so happy you all enjoyed your holiday and we all look forward to your next trip to Italia!

Melanie, Giovanna and the rest of the team at ItalyCharme and Kimkim!
