Exploring new destinations, experiencing different cultures, and witnessing stunning landscapes are all reasons why I love to travel. Traveling allows us to expand our horizons, discover new perspectives, and appreciate the incredible diversity of our world.

How did you get involved in travel?

"Traveling has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember. From my earliest childhood memories, I have cherished the thrill of embarking on new adventures, whether it was a weekend getaway or a journey across borders. Even as a young explorer, I was captivated by the allure of unfamiliar landscapes, the excitement of discovering new cultures. As I grew older, my love for travel only intensified, fueling a relentless curiosity to explore everty corner of the world. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"My first six months in Quebec City were a truly unforgettable experience that left an indelible mark on my heart. Living in this charming city, with its rich history and vibrant culture, was a dream come true. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the unique streets, picturesque architecture, and the distinct French influence that permeated every corner. Immersing myself in the local community allowed me to not only to learn French but also gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for Quebecois traditions and way of life."

It's so crazy to just get to book a trip and essentially forget about it until the day of. My guide, Fernanda, did her best to get as much as she could in the short time I had. I chose a weird time of year to go to Canada, but she still pulled some strings and I got to see some cool stuff. I see myself using KimKim for any vacation I plan. The cost was really fair, too.

Hotel Review
Le Nouvel Hotel
Montreal

The loft bedrooms are so pretty, and the hotel is positioned close to a lot of interesting places. The metro entrance isn't far either.

The bus tour guide is really awesome. If you're considering it, you NEED to do the city and country tour. There's so many interesting spots I never could have found on my own.

Fernanda helped me make a booking for a special trip to Banff to celebrate our anniversary. During the booking process she was very helpful in suggesting the places to visit. Once we went there, I was disappointed to find that the first hotel Rundlestone Lodge had a booking for double beds room. Later we found that the other hotels in Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge and Coal Coast Harbour Vancouver also had double beds booked. We cancelled Kelowna room because of wildfires. Fernanda helped cancel without any penalty.

We were able to make alternate art arrangements during our trip.

Activities suggested were very good. We enjoyed them very much.

Hi Panthulu, I am happy to hear that you both had a wonderful time on your anniversary trip to Canada . It was a pleasure assisting with the planning. I apologize for any inconvenience regarding the bedding situation at the hotels. We work closely with our hotel partners to secure your preferences, but unfortunately, it's not always guaranteed. Bed availability can be challenging, especially for last-minute bookings during peak seasons.
Your understanding is appreciated.If you need any more assistance or have questions, feel free to reach out. Here's to more fantastic adventures ahead!

Planning our first trip to Canada was made easy by our trip planner Fernanda. She came up with some nice trip options for destinations that we had only heard of. Our hotels were nice and comfortable. Our favorite hotel was in Toronto (Chelsea Hotel) because it had a water slide. The Niagra Falls excursion was our favorite.

Unfortunately our trip was cut a bit short by illness but we were very happy with the ideas and options that KimKim offered. We will use them again.

Thanks Fernanda!
