Raffles Makati and Shangri-La Boracay are both such special properties, so it’s wonderful to hear they exceeded your expectations and gave you the experience you were hoping for.

Thank you again for trusting us with your Philippines holiday. We’re so grateful for your kind words and would love to help you with another trip in the future.

We are 60+ love adventure and need a day off here and there and our Philippines experience was just that. Our guide Edmond on Bohol island was awesome, super friendly and very knowledgeable we really enjoyed our time together. The we had island hopping, fireflies and underground river in Puerto Princesa, my apologies I have forgotten the guides names. Then El Nido where Jason took us on speedboat private tour A and B which were both top shelf and we could adopt Jason, he's a beautiful soul. Then to top it all off the ultimate adventure in Coron with Jen, curly, the most handsome captain and the crew was a great way to finish. Angela was always on hand to assist if needed which was a great backup to have. The itinerary and communication was on point for everything. I could not be more happy with KimKim tours. I look forward to them organising our next trip. Cheers, Jeff and Chris.

Hi Jeff and Chris,

Thank you so much for this wonderful review.

It was an absolute pleasure planning your Philippines adventure, and I’m so happy to hear the trip struck the right balance for you — plenty of adventure, but with enough breathing room along the way.

I’m especially glad your local guides and crew made such a strong impression. Edmond in Bohol, Jason in El Nido, Jen, Curly, your Coron captain and the crew all sound like they helped bring the trip to life in such a special way. I’ll be sure to pass on your kind words where I can, as feedback like this means a lot to our local partners too.

It’s also lovely to hear that Angela’s support gave you that extra peace of mind while travelling, and that the itinerary and communication all ran smoothly.

Thank you again for trusting us with your Philippines trip. We’d absolutely love to help plan your next adventure when the time comes.

The Beach club hotel was nice but the beach was ugly and rocky. I wouldn’t stay there again. We had to do whale sharks on our own (your agency won’t book the one we did). Please tell future clients to be there at 7 AM. We arrived at 8 and had to wait 2.5 hours which was pretty miserable. I would highly recommend encouraging whale sharks in AM and canyoneering in pm. We also did turtles and sardines which I might skip. Puerto Princesss was very nice- the hotel was fantastic and incredibly reasonable. The beach was awesome. The hundred caves was fantastic- highly recommend. Underground river also very cool. Could have skipped mangroves. We also did a jungle tour which I would not recommend- no animals or birds seen at all. Encourage the guides to spend more time letting tourists see monkeys and lizard dragons- our favorite part and we were rushed through. El Nido was super cool and it would have been nice to have a. Couple nights in the town before going to Lagen resort. Lagen was extremely expensive but incredible. The lagoon tour was fantastic. Recommend guests to bring travel tissues- the toilets are frankly disgusting at a few places- no seats and you have to go on a hunt for toilet paper which is sometimes not available. Even though tons of places require cash only/ it was impossible to break 1000 bills- then it made tipping very hard. I would travel with my own snorkel mask in future- they only have one size and my head was too small.
Kimkim was excellent in their responsiveness (Ana) and the thorough itinerary. I was an idiot and didn’t realize the detailed advice and hadn’t read it beforehand. Big mistake. On the canyoneering everyone wore water shoes- not Tivas. Including the guides. Tell people to bring a go pro and waterproof floatable phone cases. I wished I had a GoPro.

Where do I begin? I can't put into words the magical experience Sarah, Angela, and the rest of the team put together for our 20th wedding anniversary in the Philippines. I'm so happy that Sarah and I were able to lock down the perfect itinerary for me and my family. Her ideas were amazing, but she also took into consideration the things that were important to me in planning our trip. For example, I wanted to visit my dad's grave and also show my family where I grew up. Sarah incorporated my requests seamlessly into our itinerary. This proved to me that Sarah is genuinely looking out for our best interests. After several changes to our itinerary, the fifth one was the charm. We were all set for our trip to Manila, Angeles City, El Nido, Cebu, Bohol, and back to Manila to shop for some pasalubongs before returning home to California. Our point of contact in Manila was Angela, Sarah's right-hand woman in the Philippines. Angela was amazing. Any questions I had regarding the local operators, such as drivers, tour guides, or even the boat crew, Angela would respond without hesitation.

I often referred to them as "The Team" because it was definitely a team effort in making our Vacation/Anniversary magical. From Arrival to Departure everything was on point. I can't even fathom how much planning our trip took. To me, it was a monumental task that the Team made look easy. The most touching moment for us was our unforgettable 20th Anniversary Lunch on our own private beach with a personal note from Sarah and Angela wishing us a happy 20th anniversary. Thank you again, Sarah and Angela. My kids loved the Tarsiers and the whale sharks. Me personally, I just enjoyed the crystal clear beaches with the Limestone cliffs in the background doing absolutely nothing in El Nido.

Everyone we interacted with will always remain in our hearts. The kindness and warmth everyone showed us made it feel like a home away from. I owe a debt of gratitude to everyone involved, Sarah, Angela, our drivers, our boat crew, our tour guides, and all the people involved that help make our dream vacation come true. I will definitely be booking our next trip with Sarah and her A-TEAM!!!

Thank you so much,

Ribac Family of California, USA.

Dear Norberto and Family,

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt words. Reading your message truly means the world to both Angela and me.

It was such a privilege to help plan this very special trip for your family, and especially to be a small part of celebrating your 20th wedding anniversary. From the very beginning, it was so clear how much this trip meant to you, and it was important to us that your itinerary reflected not only the beauty and adventure of the Philippines but also the personal moments that mattered most to you and your family.

Being able to incorporate such meaningful parts of your journey, including visiting your dad’s grave and showing your family where you grew up, was incredibly special. Thank you for trusting us with something so personal. It means so much to know that those moments were able to be woven seamlessly into your trip.

I know we went through a few itinerary versions along the way, so hearing that it all came together so perfectly makes me incredibly happy. Trips like yours take a lot of care behind the scenes, and messages like this remind us exactly why we do what we do.

Angela and I were both so touched to hear how much the private anniversary lunch meant to you. We really wanted to create something special to mark such an important milestone, and knowing it became one of the most memorable parts of your trip is so lovely to hear.

Thank you also for your kind words about Angela and the wider team on the ground. We are so lucky to work with such caring and dedicated people, and I know they will all be so grateful to hear how much their warmth and effort meant to your family.

It was an absolute pleasure helping bring your dream trip to life, and we are so grateful you chose us to be part of such a meaningful family journey. Thank you again for your trust, your kindness, and for taking the time to share your experience so beautifully.

We would be absolutely honoured to help plan your next adventure when the time comes.

With heartfelt thanks,
Sarah and Angela
