Giorgia Torre

Born and raised in the heart of Puglia (the Boot Heel of Italy), surrounded by its rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and delicious cuisine, I started developing a burning passion for exploration and cultural immersion.
I believe that each travel is an authentic and unique experience, that gives us the magical feeling of looking at life from a different point of view,

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Personalized trips to make the best of each travel experience, discovering the most beautiful sites of Italy, Portugal, and Spain."

How did you get involved in travel?

"From a young age, I was captivated by the idea of experiencing different cultures firsthand and that's how I made a lifelong commitment to travel!
Even if I am deeply in love with the region I come from, I started traveling around Europe, with an insatiable feeling of wanderlust.
This is how I ended up falling for the Portuguese and Spanish cultures and have decided to dedicate myself helping others to embark on journeys that can broaden their horizons.
Whether it's discovering hidden gems in Puglia's villages or exploring the ancient ruins of Rome, I believe that travel is not just about seeing new places, but also about connecting with the people, history, and traditions that make each destination unique!

"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Doubtless, the most unique travel experience I had was the road trip I took through the West Coast of Europe in 2019.
We started from Noordwijk, a small city where I was living on the west coast of Holland, heading to the sunny beaches of Spain and Portugal.
I will never forget the feeling of freedom I got from the time we reached our first stop: the city of Calais, in the north of France, with its beautiful landscapes and rocky beaches.
Crossing the most diverse breathtaking landscapes, from the vivid green coast of the North of Spain to the wild beaches of the Algarve, we were blessed to get to know the locals, diving into the rich cultures of these vibrant countries.
It was amazing to try farm-to-table food, join village festivals, and find inspiration in the people we came across.
The life-changing experience made me even more passionate about traveling and cultural discovery.

We weren’t aware there was a problem locating the driver at the time, and we would have been very happy to assist and help you connect with the driver.

Cefalu and Hotel Kalura were an absolute dream.
Tripani- on-street parking was challenging. Hotel Gancia - water was no potable!! Never encountered that before.

The Kim Kim Team which included Giorgia and Bea were extremely attentive to our requests and accommodated all of the changes to our itinerary during the planning phases. The travel App was an amazing resource that we have not used in the past and would recommend this for all future travels.

Our transfers and drivers were excellent and gave us five star treatment from airport pickups to traveling to Porto. Our driver, Nuno, who drove us to Porto allowed for a quick stop to Fatima, which we were grateful for. Our guide, Nuno, who drove us to Sintra was extremely intelligent and humorous. Our guide to Duoro Valley, Alfons, was quite knowledgeable and gave us an incredible experience in the Valley. That ranks as one of our favorite tours. Our arrival to Madeira was smooth and we loved our guide, Nuno, for the island Jeep expedition.

Out of the 4 hotel accommodations, only one disappointed. The Editory Garden in Porto was not up to our expectations. We did not like the location. If we had done our research on the city, we would have preferred to have stayed at a 5 star resort along the river where the city is alive. In addition, the rooms were small and the overall lobby and restaurant was sub-par. The staff was also rude. For example, our guide gave us a bottle of wine and we decided to enjoy it one afternoon. We also ordered two beers for the men in our family. The staff then charged us 7 Euros for an empty glass for me to drink my wine! We were annoyed and irritated for that charge and their lack of hospitality.

We also would have liked the travel agency to book our return flight from Madeira to Lisbon. I ended up booking it myself and the website was difficult to navigate and I had to pay extra Euros for our baggage. Since our flight to Madeira was booked by your agency, I was surprised that we had to do the return flight.

Overall, our family trip celebrating our children's graduation from college was a memorable and beautiful experience that we will cherish for a lifetime.
