Jane was an excellent resource. She really made the planning of our trip easy from start to finish. Jane was always available to make changes and help us make the most of our time. We made a few adjustments to our plans while in Scotland and Jane and KimKim were always available and happy to help.
This was a Perfect 10 trip.
Thanks Jane!!
We will definitely use KimKim when planning our next trip.

Staff
The staff could not have been any nicer or more helpful.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The room 1108 was immaculate, comfortable, well stocked. The view was beautiful from our room.
Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel
Inverness
Wonderful staff in a great location. Rooms are very inconsistent and some are really rundown.
The location is very nice but the hotel rooms need to be completely redone. There is no AC and our room was damp and very musty. There are No lifts, porters and it’s a 3 story hotel with no handicap accessibility.
Authenticity & Character
Older hotel that needs a major refresh.
Location
Excellent location
Staff
The staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The staff did as best as they could but they can’t make the old carpet better or dry rooms that are humid and musty. This is no place for people with limited motility or asthma.
The Scotsman Hotel
Edinburgh
Scotsman is in a perfect location to the Royal Mile and the train station. The stay was fantastic and very helpful. They provided great recommendations and service. The breakfast was good and the room was very clean and comfortable. Don’t bring oversized bags the lifts are typical small European lifts.
Overall a very nice hotel

A Fully Bespoke Tour Day with a Private Driver Guide
Scotland
Glasgow is a wonderful city with a tremendous amount to see. Our driver Robert changed our tour to a full day in Glasgow and we were happy he did. We saw Glasgow Cathedral, the burial grounds and he took us all around town. We ended the day at the Kelvingrove Museum. You could kill 4 hours there easy.
Quality of Experience
Our driver Robert was a wonderful part of our trip . We could not have asked for a more Authentic Scot to help us experience Glasgow.

Robert was a true professional showing us the best of Glasgow!

Robert helped us see the best of Glasgow.
The Isle of Skye & Eilean Donan Castle
Inverness
Isle of Skye was amazing. Donnan Castle is a Must see Castle. The scenery and castle are fabulous. I would highly recommend a private tour with a small group in a Sprinter Van. This is a trip that is far better with the visibility you get in a smaller van without worrying about driving

Donan Castle was incredible. They did an amazing job rebuilding it .

Boat Ride Around the Canal & Loch Ness including a Visit to Urquhart Castle
Scotland
Beautiful views. Urquhart Castle is not a must see. Loch Ness is a nice Lake but also not a must see in my opinion. Spend the day in Stirling or St Andrews. Watch Rick Steve’s episode and skip this if you’re strapped for time.
We would skip it had we known.
Quality of Experience
Just not a must see.

There were so many amazing sites that it would take all morning to name them all. The trip was incredible. We felt that we really got a taste of what Scotland is all about. Museums, pubs, restaurants, history, cities, magnificent landscapes, and so much more. Everything went off perfectly from the person who met us at the airport, to the person that dropped us off at the airport for our return home. We were lucky to have 3 great drivers/guides.

There were so many amazing sites that it would take all morning to name them all. The trip was incredible. We felt that we really got a taste of what Scotland is all about. Museums, pubs, restaurants, history, cities, magnificent landscapes, and so much more. Everything went off perfectly from the person who met us at the airport, to the person that dropped us off at the airport for our return home. We were lucky to have 3 great drivers/guides. Derek, Keith, and Robert were extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and professional. They made stops, and ad-libbed for us because they had a feel for what we would appreciate seeing. We had quite a few laughs with them. I thought the hotels were all very nice. We were able to check in early, every staff member that we encountered was really nice, the breakfasts were all very good and the rooms, with the exception of the Glen Morriston, were nice. The Glen Morriston doesn't have a lift. I had to drag our heavy suitcases up 40 stairs which wasn't much of an issue for me, but if you have older clients, it would be very difficult. The hotel room was small but I suspect that is true with most of the hotels. The location of our hotels were very convenient. Every time we called Jane for advice or to make a change, she was very accessible and very helpful.
I would absolutely, highly recommend the Kim Kim agency to any of my friends or relatives. (I already have!) We hope to plan a trip to Ireland next year and you will be hearing from us. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 508 626-5373. Also, we appreciate you trying to help us with Scotsrail.
Thank you for planning a magnificent trip for us!!
Sincerely,
Ray and Mary Insani
