Ionnis was great assistance with booking our trip and during our trip!
Trip to Greece was planned just perfectly. All arrangements were booked for us from the moment we arrived in athens greece, travelling to both islands of paros and milos and then back for our international flight from athens.
So appreciative of Ionnis as there was miscommunication with one of the hotels who charged me, i was able to msg ionnis right away, and he sorted it out and had ir refunded for me. Our next trip to Europe we will for sure be booking through kimkim, no questions asked!
So convenient and well priced.

Thanks again, Ionnis for arranging such an amazing trip from my husband and i!

Lithos Luxury Rooms Milos

Milos

What a cute little boutique hotel run by a sweet family! We arrived to the hotel at 1030pm and the hotel owner gave us a ride into town so my husband and i can have dinner. In the morning they homecooked breakfast for their guests, which was delicious. I also forgot my adapter for plugging in my phone, the owner of the hotel was sweet enough to give me one to borrow. Such a cute, clean and hospitality was amazing . Definitely will come back again!

We were grateful to work with Ioannis. He made the planning phase much easier.

We loved all our guides that were hired and we learned so much from them about real Greek culture and that made it much more gratifying. We did try changing a duplicate Walking Food Tour, and wish that we knew it was going to be the same thing twice (different times of day so we thought it would be different food), but it was the exact same restaurants...and no one caught it. That was a waste of money...but the Street Art tour was a highlight. Having shuttles from the airport/ferry to our hotel was very convenient, however, one was less than a 10th of a mile and we could have walked. Knowing this ahead might have saved us that expense as well.

We enjoyed all of our hotels and were grateful to be moved closer to what we wanted to see as suggested by Ioannis.

Unfortunately we lost a day in Santorini due to a mistake on the itinerary. We were sad to lose that extra day there...and were left paying for all of our shuttles from that point forward. Kimkim did pick up the extra night in an airbnb which was lovely....but we had no access to food. Never the less, I would use Kimkim again.

Thank you for making our trip a memorable one.

NLH Monastiraki

Athens

Our first hotel in Greece. We were moved here to be closer to the Acropolis and I was glad for that convenience, but we lost our breakfast included perk. The area was sketchy...much like downtown San Fransisco...lots of homeless. Bars around are loud and business are hopping early so that made it hard to sleep. But thats downtown living. All that said...the room was nice and fit us all comfortably. We loved the roof top bar with a view of the Acropolis.

Knowledgable

The trip was amazing. The itinerary was packed and really gave a varied look at Greece. We really enjoyed everything that we saw and did. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and made the trip extra special. Our days where we had physical activities (snorkeling and river trekking) were super fun!
The main problem we had, and it was quite stressful, was the transportation. We had several incidences where no drivers were scheduled and we had to find a taxi or there was a mix up with how many cars were coming. Afterwards, we understand the logistics of scheduling and know why there was a mix up with how many cars were coming. Not having any cars scheduled when we thought they were was a problem that would need to be addressed.
I personally have booked full European and US trips (air, lodging and transportation) with zero issues. If I am paying someone to do all of this for me, I would expect the same results. The issues were controllable and not due to unforeseen circumstances.
P.s. I don't appreciate getting vacation emails from other parties all of a sudden. I haven't signed up for them and never received them until I booked the trip with Kimkim. Now, all of a sudden, I'm getting these emails.

This was a great trip and I would use KimKim again in the future!

Our guide from Athens to Corinth and Nafplio, Marcos, was outstanding! He was so knowledgeable and kind he shared so much about the areas we toured and personal stories of his family growing up in Athens. He was a true highlight of our trip. The tour in Mykonos with Dora was also wonderful and really gave us a chance to see more of the island. We also loved the hike in Santorini with Catherine. Seeing the caldera from the old footpath was a treat and hearing the history of the island was special.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience planning our Greece vacation through kimkim. The entire process, from the initial introduction call, to the connection made to our local specialist Ioannis who guided us through all our options, to the flexibility in adjustment our upfront payment schedules, everything was professional and top notch.

Once we were able to share the types of things we were interested in doing across our two families traveling together, Ioannis was able to suggest great options for us to choose from. This included village excursions, cooking tours, luxury catamaran rides etc. Overall, his guidance was really helpful in allowing us to make great choices.

For all the tours that we went on (4 organized ones in total), the local guides were absolutely excellent. All of them spoke great English, gave us a great background in Greek history, exposed us to "local/ traditional" adventures, and really made the trip memorable.

The hotel selections were also great, with good breakfast options every morning, and convenient locations. In the one hotel where the first room we were offered wasn't that great, we got in touch with Ioannis to explain the situation. Ioannis was on this instantly, coordinating directly with the hotel and making sure that we were upgraded to better quality two room as no additional costs! This was really appreciated by us!

Overall, this was very memorable and we intend to use kimkim in the future!

Ioannis, the local kimkim specialist, was amazing to work with. He cultivated an itinerary that surpassed our expectations. Truly, a testimony to how attentive he was to our wants and needs with regards to activities we wanted to do, places we wanted to see, and the types of accommodations we desired. Our guides along the trip were amazing as well. They were a wealth of information, but more importantly, they treated us like family. In summary, we had an awesome trip to Greece and I highly recommend kimkim for planning one's future trip to Greece.
