This was our first experience with KimKim, and overall, we found it to be quite positive, leading us to consider using their services again in the future. While we did encounter a minor issue, we were impressed by how promptly the agency addressed it. Throughout the planning, execution, and follow-up phases, we felt well-supported.

The additional activities we participated in—such as the hike in the Basque region, the cooking class in Barcelona, and the catamaran sailing in Palma—were particularly memorable and added significant value to our trip. The choice of hotels was commendable, and the transportation arrangements were executed smoothly.

We believe that the extra expense was justified, as it alleviated the stress and burden of organizing the trip ourselves, allowing us to enjoy our experience fully. This approach can greatly enhance future travel planning and ensure a more relaxing journey for travelers.

Just returned from an unforgettable 8-day family adventure through Barcelona and Madrid, curated and flawlessly executed by Kimkim — and we’re still glowing from the experience!

From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless: private transfers, luxury accommodations, expertly guided tours, and personalized touches that made this trip exceed all expectations.

Top Highlights:
• Tapas & Flamenco in El Born – food, music, and culture in one vibrant evening, guided by Katya
• La Sagrada Família – a jaw-dropping masterpiece by Antoni Gaudi brought to life by our guide Jordi. Serene, spiritual, and spectacular, with stunning mountain views
• A visit to a vineyard with our guide Pol in the Penedès Wine Region where we were warmly welcomed by Ana, a third-generation member of the founding family. We tasted award-winning cava and tapas served in the family's private dining room.
• Family-friendly walk in Madrid – Our guide Majo made history fun with fascinating stories.
• Art immersion in Madrid – audio-assisted tour of the Prado & Reina Sofía museums
• Toledo Sword-Making – a hands-on history lesson with fifth-generation master swordsmith Antonio Arellano guided by Natalya
• Toledo Historic Walk with our engaging guide Carlos

Our stays at H10 Madison (Barcelona) and Radisson RED (Madrid) were top-notch —central, stylish, and perfect for families.

And shoutout to Kimkim’s live support team, who were always just a message away and made everything effortless. From itinerary planning to real-time support, the service was exceptional.

We left with full hearts, incredible memories, and a new appreciation for Spain’s culture, history, and cuisine.
We returned home full of gratitude and inspired by Spain’s rich history, beauty, and spirit. This was more than a vacation— it was a deeply meaningful family experience we’ll never forget.

With heartfelt thanks to Coraima, Summer, Alejandra and Diliana at Kimkim and all our incredible guides— Katya, Jordi, Pol, Majo, Natalya, and Carlos—gràcies y gracias!

At some point several months ago, I searched the Internet for help planning a Spain vacation. This was to be an important event as I had planned to propose to my girlfriend in one of the most romantic places I had come across years ago - the gardens behind the Alcazar in Seville, Spain. The important note here is that I didn’t have a lot of time to do my own planning … so the objective was just some lodging and logistics… What I ended up with was way more and way better than I could have imagined. I’m so incredibly grateful that one of the links that came up was kimkim, and that I reached out to them just to see what was possible Importantly, my first experience and conversation with kimkim built trust that they could help me because of the professionalism and credibility they conveyed. The plan was thoughtful. There were check ins to make sure they were on track, but the actual vacation, the hotels that they booked, the experts they aligned with us to show us around like the Prado museum in Madrid, or the expert that showed us around the Alhambra in Granada, was simply amazing…. We remarked to one another throughout our vacation, how great the experience was … we were able to see other groups in some of the same venues and that experience compared to ours seem dreadful - it’s so superior to have a personalized experience versus being part of a large group… kimkim set up with us a personalized experience and that made all the difference …the hotels were perfect for us as well as all transportation, resources, and transfers. We’re all set up and all things arranged and effortless for us. I cannot recommend them enough - if you want something special and personalized and memorable and comfortable, I recommend you take advantage of the resources and services from kimkim. Here’s something that blew us away. Unbeknownst to me, one of the experts kimkim set up, Cristina in Seville, set up a professional photographer to take pictures of my proposal in the garden. They led us to a perfect spot and without us knowing, took pictures when I popped the question. Oh and she did say yes! One important addition ….we had time to do our own thing intermixed with a lot of experiences that they organized. Overall, I would give them a score of 15 out of 10. We are very grateful to Coraima and Summer from kimkim. And we are very grateful to all the people that helped us in this vacation, the drivers, the experts, all of the hotels’ staff, the restaurants, the events… It was all perfect. Perfect.

We had to wait a little bit for him to pick us up (even though he said he was there) but what was most disappointing was that he clearly was not well. He coughed and sniffled repeatedly and very frequently spat out the window. I'm pretty sure as a result of his apparent symptoms our daughter who was sitting directly behind him fell ill during our trip. In fact, there were sputum tracks on the passenger side window from his spitting.

My husband had a reaction after going in the ocean in San Sebastián. His leg was sore consequently so we asked to re-schedule the trip for a day later after his meds had taken effect. Sadly, we were ghosted and no one responded to our text.

This was a college graduation gift for my son. We enjoyed the experiences we had scheduled with KK. Overall, very interesting and relaxing as we requested. I’d recommend the trip planning through Kimkim. There is one excursion where the guide was more interested in his experiences than ours. He was our day guide from Barcelona to Girona and Costa Brava. Maybe choose a different driver for that trip. Otherwise, all the other guides were wonderful!

The pacing was great with fun activities in between seeing the historical sites like visiting an olive farm in Mantilla, hiking the Caminito del Rey and going to a flamenco show. The accommodations were well planned, centrally located and with historical charm. His team stayed in touch with us throughout the trip and helped us communicate with guides when things came up. They also reminded us of important deals so our trip went smoothly! We highly recommend working with Alfonso!

Anna MB, our guide in Girona, was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. When our return train to Barcelona was cancelled she took extra time to ensure we were rescheduled and had tickets for the train. She made our day!
