The best part of this trip was Dalia. She was on top of things with a positive attitude. She helped us quickly and took care of the few issues that popped up.
Recommendations were very good. The kids and the older folks enjoyed the trip.
Choice of hotels also was excellent.
Except for one driver, they were all quite accommodating . The tour guides were informative and also nice with the kids.
Thanks for helping us create memories.

Hi Guillermo,

Reading your kind words truly made my day! It was such a pleasure planning this trip for you and your whole family, and I’m so happy to hear that everyone—from the kids to the older folks—enjoyed themselves and came home with special memories.

Thank you for trusting me with such an important journey. I’d love to start thinking about the next adventure whenever you’re ready!

The trip planning went more smoothly than I could imagine and while we were on the trip, they checked in regularly (but not too much / intrusively) and it gave us such piece of mind to know that they were only a quick call / text away should there be any issues.

Would not hesitate to use them again and recommend others to do so too!

Considering this was our first trip to Europe, we did know what to expect, but Helena took care of that by crafting an itinerary that balanced our curiosity and expectations. The boutique hotels were charming with very personable staff eager to go out of the way to make sure our stay was comfortable. Oh yeah, not to mention the tour guides who were very knowledgeable, respectful and full of humor to keep us going right thru the end of the day. So, if your travel plans call on Europe, I strogly recommend to go with Helena as your travel agent as she genuinely cares about people looking for a great expereince.

Staff was very friendly, but not always available. (I think they manage another hotel as well?)
Cleanliness & Comfort
The room was comfortable, however, it was very noisy in the morning. Every room was open to a central foyer. When the staff would go to prepare breakfast at 5:30 or 6 AM it was very loud and woke us up. Then , when people came to eat breakfast … it was impossible to sleep past 630 or 7 am because it became very noisy. If you are an early riser, this is no problem. But after all you are in Spain and likely you’ll be staying up late. This is something you need to know when booking this hotel.

The hotels were perfectly located—just steps from most major sights—making it easy to explore on foot. All transportation, from planes to trains, was seamlessly organized and every ticket was right at our fingertips in the KimKim app.

KimKim’s support was incredible. Even with the time difference, they were always available through the app to answer questions quickly and clearly. Our tour guides—both walking and driving—were knowledgeable, engaging, and eager to share insights about the local culture and history. Some guides stood out as truly exceptional, but every single one made the experience memorable.

Special experiences like the paella cooking class added an authentic, unforgettable touch to the journey. From start to finish, we felt cared for and completely at ease.

I wholeheartedly recommend booking a tour with KimKim—it’s a stress-free, well-planned way to enjoy an amazing trip!

We had a wedding in Valencia and decided to turn it into a two week trip. I gave Anita a list of cities we were interested in visiting and she created an itinerary that went above and beyond. She added stops to lesser known cities, which was our favorite part. We had private drivers and mostly private tours for the entire trip. It felt like we were first class travelers. The app with the itinerary was immensely helpful and some of the guides that we had were the best we’ve had on any trip. Antonio in Mérida was our favorite tour guide and we would have requested him for every tour if possible. Jesús and Paulo were extremely friendly and helpful drivers. There is nothing we would have changed about this trip.

The Andorra hotel was great but a bit out of the way. It was very calm. We went to Ordino Arcalis for a hike and it was spectacular. We also took the train to Vall de Nuria which was also memorable.

We must say that we were utterly enchanted by this trip. Spain is just wonderful and the cities we visited Madrid and
Barcelona are each in their own way truly stellar. Even though it was long and treacherous as all flights are these days the rewards are more than the obstacles. Madrid has so many wonderful historic sites and buildings that in the 3 days we were there is not enough but we appreciated the hospitality and attractions fully. The tour guides were all outstandings including Javier, Sirio, Maria and Pepa. I highly recommended them all. Special mention needs to go to Javier for his encyclopedic knowledge of art and historical sites. His stamina was truly outstanding.

So overall my wife and I were very happy. The accommodations were excellent, the food was great, taxi cabs were at the exact time all the time and we have absolutely nothing to complain. We just have wished the last hotel had a larger swimming pool but that was just a small pick.

Many thanks to Anita for her wonderful trajectory and mapping the whole trip in detail. She did a remarkable job.

Keep it up folks. Next year we hope to do business again.

Great hotel. I cannot give it a 5 star since there were a few things it could have had better. Very large hotel and the rooms were spacious. We wished the bathroom was better - the shower head kept throwing hot water and not mixing it well with the cold. Minor stuff. Very fine breakfast every day too. The pool was the only disappointing part. But we were not there long. It was centrally located.
