Coraima Yañez

The Spain vacation was wonderful thanks to Coraima and the KimKim team. They made great recommendations and their responsiveness and reliability was excellent. I would definitely consider using your services for future trips.

It was an amazing memorable trip. Couldn't have asked for more to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Coraima and Summer were super helpful leading up to the trip, building the perfect itinerary and assisting with changes through the trip. Hotels were very comfortable, clean and we received great service. Special shout out to the guides (Tatiana, Ruth, Guadalupe, Alvaro and Carlos) were all awesome and took good care of us on the tours. One of the best trips we have had and highly recommended.

Our family of four (including two teenagers, ages 17 and 19) had the most incredible Christmas vacation in Spain. Over nine days, we traveled through Madrid, Córdoba, Seville, and Granada, and every detail of the trip was flawlessly coordinated by Coraima and her team.

From carefully selected hotels and outstanding guided tours to seamless train tickets and transfers between cities, the itinerary was truly perfect. Communication was always fast, clear, and efficient, and any questions, changes, or services needed were handled quickly and without issue.

The tour guides and activities exceeded our expectations. One standout experience was the rooftop paella cooking class in Seville—an absolute must-do and a highlight of our entire trip.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this dream vacation everything we hoped for and more. We will cherish these memories forever.

This was the second trip to Portugal Coraima helped us plan. She spent a lot of time on the first trip helping me travel with my 80 year old father who has physical limitations. The second trip was effortless because she knew us, incorporated feedback and adjusted the logistics on our return trip to engage two 20-something sons. Shout out to our KimKim team… until next time. :0)

Excellent tour guide- went out of his way to pick us up at hotel given we had a senior traveler, brought blankets for the cold, gave a tour of the tram 28 line but also took small detours to show us the neighborhoods, informative discussion sharing history and answering questions.

Coraima planned a wonderful trip for us. She found a couple tours we wouldn't have discovered on our own, and the hotel she selected for us in Seville was exceptional. The app was very easy to use, especially when navigating to meeting points with Google Maps. The one small hiccup during the trip (not due to the trip plan) was resolved quickly and effortlessly.

We just completed an incredible trip to Spain and Portugal with KimKim. We have traveled internationally before, both with structured small group tours (through Odessey) and with trips we planned on our own (relying heavily on Rick Steve's books). This time we read the reviews and decided to try out the KimKim program, as we knew what we wanted and had no time to plan it out. They did a great job!

We liked that Coriama arranged a Zoom meeting before we left, to ensure that all questions and plans were clear. We opted for their "middle" tier hotels - which were superb and very boutique. The locations were always in the center of town, and the hotel staff were wonderful without exception. Rooms were European small, but comfortable, and the "full or double" beds were at least queen-size. Breakfast were mostly European buffets and fantastic, and we enjoyed the other guests. Having drivers assist us with our connections was a real bonus and whenever we had an issue, a KimKim representative quickly and efficiently responded. When we had a transportation snafu after a delayed flight, Kim Kim was quick to reimburse us. We will definitely use KimKim again.
