All of our excursions were very good. Everything was very well-planned by KimKim. Our rides, tickets and guides were all excellent. The guides went above and beyond to provide us with the best experience possible.

Tapas & Flamenco Experience in Seville

Seville

This is a must see experience. It was not what we expected but we learned a lot about the origin of Flamenco. Our guide was a Flamenco dancer. His knowledge and expertise made this excursion worth it. He took us to an amazing tapas place after the show. It was excellent.

We had a fabulous time in Portugal and Spain. We hit the ground running with an all day tour to Sintra and Cascais visiting the Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleria. The place was magical, definitely a must see. Louis was our guide and Fernando was our driver. They worked really well together and shared lots of history and information about the area.
Our second excursion in Lisbon was a wine tour to the Setubal region. Ricardo picked us up at the hotel and we spent the day visiting one of the oldest wineries in the area and a small family run winery, Lobo. It by far was our favorite, the family was amazing and our tasting was incredible. The restaurant we were supposed to eat at had an unexpected fire in the kitchen and Ricardo quickly made new arrangements for us to go to another wine tasting and we had meat and cheese board with a wonderful chocolate mousse from the original restaurant that was picked. We spent the evenings exploring Lisbon, the city dubbed as the city of Seven Hills is not an exaggeration. The Lisboa Pessoa Hotel was in the perfect area and the breakfasts were wonderful every morning. Having a driver from Lisbon to Lagos was very convenient.
From there we traveled to Lagos (Algarve) where we had 3 relaxing days at the beach, exploring Old Town and hiking along the Ponta da Piedade. Again our hotel, Lagos Avenida, was in the perfect spot to enjoy the marina and all the area had to offer. Again having a driver from Lagos to Seville was very convenient.
We had two wonderful experiences in Seville. Our first night in we had a Tapas and Flamenco Experience, where Nico our guide taught us the history of Flamenco. It was great to learn about what they as performers put into the show and how it is all improve and the singer, guitar and dancers learn to work off each other. Fascinating and an extraordinary show. Nico took us to the best ever Tapas Bar afterwards. The next day spent an afternoon visiting the Cathedral and Alcazar with Cristina our guide. She was extremely informative. It was a lot of walking and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner that evening and enjoyed one of many patios at Las Casas de la Juderia. This hotel was unique and a must stay if ever in Seville. Our final night was spent on a rooftop cooking a traditional Paella and viewing the Cathedral in the background. Fernando our chef, was full of passion about his craft and loved teaching others how to cook Paella. It was such a fun experience and the perfect setting. He recommended a very tasty ice cream place for dessert afterwards .
We ended our trip flying back to Lisbon, staying at the Tivoli Oriente Hotel. It was close to the airport, but not what we expected for our last day and evening in Lisbon. Summer gave us suggestions for the day and helped us get to the area we needed to be in for an amazing last night. Alfama area was a fantastic area where we experienced a festival and the best meal of our trip. Perfect find for our last night. This is our second trip planned with KimKim and it did not disappoint.
.

Adam was fantastic to work with in developing our itinerary, and Adam was in contact throughout the trip to ensure we were supported. The trip was spectacularly memorable. Such a great balance of planned and free time that we were hoping for. This is the second time we’ve used kimkim, and we will use them again!

Every single person that worked at our resort, Aquas Claras, was wonderful. We loved Dani & Jose at the front desk. The people at the restaurants & bars were awesome too. (Jazmin, Ariet, Jefferson, Fray, Leandro) Our resort offered yoga & massages. It was all so amazing! The house where we stayed was private & beautiful!

Everything about this trip was thoughtfully and carefully planned and curated, giving us a unique and private feel to our experience in Spain. Adam was thorough in getting to know us, what we were interested in, and checked on us again right before our departure, which was so helpful! Chinh was also a great part of the booking process and responded right away with a refund when our train tickets were invalid.

Each accommodation was perfectly selected, unique and upscale. Most importantly located perfectly for all of our exploring by foot in each of the three locations.

Activities: the Palma food tour was fantastic, Juan was a wonderful guide and we had the best afternoon with him tasting our way through the town.

We absolutely loved the uniqueness of the wine/food tour in Valencia. Martha was such an incredible guide and host. We learned so much and loved the opportunity to try the delicious local tapas paired withe fabulous local wines. A small and very unique evening in a beautiful event space.

Our private tour in Seville with Juanmil was very special. He is such an intelligent historian and I felt special having a private tour with no crowds. I learned so much from him!

Kim Kim, we will be back- top to bottom you did it again. What a great and seamless adventure we had!! Thank you so much!

First, everyone at Kimkim listened to me carefully and were able to design the exact trip I requested. Overall every scheduled tour was really good with only one guide was a bit disappointing. Considering the number that we had is outstanding. The guide for the Volcano hike was outstanding. The raft guide was also very good especially with sighting animals. We really enjoyed the Jaguar Rescue which was my favorite tour even though there were no Jaguars! The number of animals was so varied it allowed us to see examples of just about every animal native to Costa Rica. The rate of release of rescued animals was extraordinary .

The volcano hike had planned paths that were good for a strong hiker but not a walker. For me the number of small rocks, extreme variation in walking elevations was extremely difficult. I should not have done it but I got through it and made finishing longer for the younger hikers. I think the description of that hike needs to include a caution. There was plenty of other things to see and paths to walk including a nice food/drink pavilion including restrooms.pp

I will likely use Kimkim to help me plan other trips.
