This is the 2nd time we have worked with Andrea, and our 2nd fantastic trip to Italy! KimKim makes everything easy, and Andrea is knowledgeable and works closely with us to plan the perfect trip for us -- it is never cookie cutter or one-size fits all. All of the guides, drivers and experiences are wonderful. I love working with KimKim and cannot recommend it or Andrea highly enough!

Everything about our trip to Italy was absolutely AMAZING! Andrea was so knowledgeable and wonderful! 😃🙌💜
We spent time in Rome, Florence, and Naples! All of our tour guides were experts in sharing incredible information about the various tours we participated in! I highly recommend KimKim, Inc. for anyone who wants an awesome and memorable trip/vacation!! 😃

An Unforgettable Journey Through Rome, Amalfi & Sorrento
From the historic streets of Rome to the breathtaking coastal views of Amalfi and Sorrento, every moment was a wonderful experience.

Rome was the perfect start, filled with awe-inspiring sights like the Colosseum, the Vatican, and the Trevi Fountain.
From there, we made our way to the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento, which left us speechless. The coastal scenery was like a postcard come to life, with colourful cliffside villages and sparkling blue waters. One of the highlights was our boat trip to Capri, where we explored hidden grottos and admired the island’s natural beauty.

Another unforgettable experience was our visit to Pompeii. Walking through the ancient ruins was like stepping back in time, and our guide brought the history to life with fascinating stories about the city frozen in time by Mount Vesuvius.
A special mention goes to Enzo, our incredible driver. His knowledge of the area, his passion for Italy, and his warm personality made our experience even more special.

This unforgettable trip was filled with beauty, history, and adventure.

This trip was a dream of a lifetime. It was my first trip to Italy . Our friends recommended KimKim so we contacted your company. Best move we could have done here ! Andrea was attentive and detail oriented and always answered whatever questions we had . The trip was perfect. Rome, Florence , Venice and Milan. The individual guides were a huge benefit . It was a custom tour and they could not have been better. We were very impressed. We will back and plan on using you often in the future !

Hotel Review

Sina Palazzo Sant'Angelo

Venice

Classy well appointed and nice accommodations close to everything . The only thing I didn’t like was the shower. An old bath tub jacuzzi set up that you had to step high to get into. Not a good barrier for water spraying out either. Many Americans don’t bathe we shower. Otherwise great in location , views, hospitality service.

First we were so lucky to have great weather. sunny and temps in the 70s everyday. You can’t plan that. I am a history buff and I love Ancient Rome . Our guide Mariapaola was amazing. Every sight was a wonderful journey into the past . She was so informative and interesting . I can’t imagine anyone nicer or better to have as a tour guide

The entire trip could not have been better. Andrea worked with me through every detail prior to the beginning of the trip and checked in during the 11 days in October. He provided advice on keeping activities to an enjoyable level for our group of six - the right mix of sightseeing and relaxation. He also took special care in providing for a traveler with mobility restrictions. I worked with Andrea to organize the trip on behalf of our group and, with Andrea as close as a text, I could thoroughly enjoy myself too. We had no glitches whatsoever and Andrea was even able to coordinate some time changes in our itinerary that we requested along the way.

All accommodations exceeded our expectations. While all hotel staff were helpful and friendly, the staff at Martis Palace Hotel was particularly warm and welcoming for all three days. Our experience at The Hotel Belvedere di San Leonino was exactly how I had pictured a stay in Tuscany, including dinner at their on-site restaurant. Corte dei Sogni Hotel, Hotel Nazionale and Hotel Palazzo Veneziano were equally enjoyable. All breakfasts provided far more than I am accustomed.

In Rome, the golf cart tour on our first day was a great way to see the city up-close and a good use of time. We enjoyed Mariapaola as our guide of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and Basilica as she is knowledgeable, entertaining and passionate.

When driving in Tuscany, we especially enjoyed the cities of Bagnoregio, Orvieto and San Gimignano. Cooking class and wine tasting at La Marronaia Winery was very fun! "The wine was made from those grapevines right over there."

It only took the first train ride to figure out how to navigate the Cinque Terre trains with our hop on/off pass. They were clean, convenient and ran on schedule. All five villages were interesting to see. The Via dell'Amore trail is an easy and accessible walk along the cliff and sea and is, of course, beautiful. Hotel Nazionale was in the village of Levanto which we found to be less crowded and slower paced and is also available on the train pass. Due to weather, our boat tour was cancelled for which we received a full refund within just a couple days.

Everything about Venice is unique so I have no particular comments other than to say we are glad we chose to end our trip there as, at one time, we discussed skipping this city.

All guides and drivers were friendly and professional and on-time or usually early to meet us.

We indulged in the local wines, limoncello, chocolate, coffee, olives, oils, balsamics, meats and cheeses. It was all fantastico!

This was my first international trip. KimKim and Andrea set the bar high for the next adventure. I plan to use KimKim again if I get the chance.
