Marta Toso

We had the most incredible trip. Marta communicated with us almost weekly until we left for the trip so were informed and felt prepared. We collaborated to create the itinerary, but she picked great hotels and tours that made our trip even more special. Some of the highlights were our private tour guide in Siena, our apartment in Florence, Mariel & the food tour in Rome, and our farm stay hotel outside of Sorrento. We felt that we were able to see and do so much, while having the perfect amount of days in each city. Throughout our trip, Marta and Jessica were proactive in sending our driver details for the next day and their contact details information. We will definitely be using this service on future trips. Thank you again for giving my family the trip of a lifetime!

Hotel Reviews

Palazzo Alfani al David

Florence

Right across from the accademia. A little loud during the day, but quiet at night. Valeria and Francesca met us upon check in and gave us some great local recommendations. Large space, yet very homey.

Relais Regina Giovanna

Sorrento (Na)

The property is so so gorgeous. All of the staff were very professional and eager to help. The only downside was that dinners weren’t great, but breakfast service was delicious and they have a free hourly shuttle to Sorrento where you could grab dinner instead.

Vatican & Sistine Chapel Group Tour

Rome

It’s a must do, but that place is really crowded. Would have liked longer to explore the museum, but they keep people moving - not a flaw of the tour.

Tuscany: San Gimignano & Siena Day Trip

Italy

Wish we had more time in Siena, what a hidden gem! Our tour guide was a local and had so much knowledge to share. Definitely a highlight of our trip.

Capri in a Day by boat

Italy

This was so much fun, but if you have a big group, would be better to get your own boat instead of sharing with others as it does get a bit cramped.

Hidden Venice Walking Tour

Venice

To be honest, this was fine for us. We didn’t really remember it after the fact, but enjoyed ourselves during it.

Small Group Tour of Colosseum Underground, Arena and Forum

Rome

You definitely need to be in shape to do this tour. It is a fast paced walk around the Roman forum, but there is so much to see in a short amount of time.

Definitely a highlight of the trip. The guide was really informative and took us to some great stops. They had a cookbook and restaurant guide that they sent afterwards too.

This was an absolute trip of a lifetime. I will be recommending Kim Kim to all of my friends! Marta was amazing to plan with and every single excursion was flawlessly executed. Marta & her team were extremely accessible during our trip, which was so helpful when we had questions. Marta's help in planning allowed us to have a stress-free trip! The accommodations were fantastic as well, we loved every hotel.

Highlights included the farm tour in Tuscany and lunch on the saffron farm, the suggested visit to Orvieto which was the most magical town, and the Capri boat day!! I'll be dreaming about this trip forever. Cannot wait to plan our next adventure with Kim Kim!

Marta, our travel specialist was awesome. She gave great advice and responded quickly. Marta was an absolute pleasure. The excursions were wonderful and a lot of fun. The hotels were gorgeous and accommodating in Florence and Venice. The hotel in Rome, Boutique Hotel Campo de’Fiori, was ok. We did get the apartment as our room, which was nice, however we had to climb three flights of stairs and did not get any help from the hotel. It was supposed to be an apartment on the first floor. With that said the location was right in the heart of a lot of restaurants, daily open market and close to everything.
Our tour guide for the coliseum in Rome was AWESOME! I did not get his name, but he was very knowledgeable and knew all the right places to take us for breathtaking views. He was very passionate about his job.
Our tour guide for the walkie foodie tour was also AWESOME! Next time I will do a foodie tour first thing so I know how to spot authentic Italian food! I highly recommend Goumetaly for any foodie tour!
Tania, our tour guide for Cinque Terre, she was AWESOME as well! She took her time and was very knowledgeable about the villages we visited. We had lunch at il Baretto and the food was delicious and plentiful! There was a problem with the train running more than an hour late to take us back to the town where the car was parked. Tania and her team were on top of the situation and had a taxi pick us up and take us to the car to keep on schedule.
I greatly appreciated the local assistant in Venice. Navigating Venice for the first time would not have been easy on our own!

Our trip to Italy was fabulous! The excursions recommended by Marta were great! Having drivers to make sure we got to each new stop was very helpful. We are already thinking of our next trip!

Half day tour in Pompeii

Italy

We had a driver (he didn't speak english) it was a little confusing in the beginning but we figured it out. We upgraded our expereince to a small group guide instead of the head phone self guided tour. And we are glad we did!!! Pompeii is enormous and it was a wonderful experience with the tour guide.

Capri in a Day by boat

Our Captain, Marco was fantastic! He was kind and knowledgeable about all the sites you can only see from the water. He told us of many different things we could chooses from on Capri for the 3 hours we were there.
