Pedro Luis

What a beautiful country! Loved our trip to Portugal! Pedro set everything up perfectly and communicated with our group regularly during the trip. It was fun getting to know our wonderful drivers especially Carlos and Ricardo who gave us many tips. The guides were top notch-loved Claudia, Ricardo, and Catarina. Special memories include the Fado dinner in Alfama, the Pena palace in Sintra, the view of the bridges and river in Porto, and our visit to wine country in the Douro valley. Can’t wait to come back again for a visit!❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Trip to Portugal!

Our trip to Portugal, planned by Pedro, was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. His attention to detail was outstanding — every hotel, driver, and activity was perfectly arranged. The accommodations were excellent, comfortable, and in ideal locations. The drivers were punctual, professional, and friendly, making every transfer smooth and enjoyable.

What truly made the trip unforgettable were our amazing tour guides, each knowledgeable and engaging — especially João, who brought the history and culture of Portugal to life with such warmth and enthusiasm.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Pedro, for creating such a beautifully organized and memorable journey

Pedro organized an amazing 10-day itinerary for our group of six in Portugal. All accommodations and activities were perfect. Throughout the journey, Pedro maintained regular communication to ensure smooth progress and offered timely assistance as needed.
Pedro did an outstanding job coordinating and communicating with our drivers and tour guides. Claudia led our Lisbon Historic Odyssey Private Walking & Tastings tour; Ricardo guided us through Pena Palace; and Catarina provided insightful commentary on Porto's Historic Odyssey Private Walking Tour. Each guide shared valuable knowledge about local history, culture, landmarks, and restaurant recommendations.
Drivers Carlos and Ricardo were a joy to ride with. Both enjoyed sharing information about landmarks, city histories, and dining options.
The trip included numerous memorable experiences, such as:
• A day excursion to Sintra, including a tour of Pena Palace.
• An impressive Fado Dinner at Mesa de Frades Restaurant.
• The Ultimate Douro Valley Experience, featuring a boat journey along the Douro River and concluding with a private tour, tastings, and lunch at Quinta da Pacheca Winery.
• A Hands-On Culinary Experience Baking Pastel de Nata

Pedro did a great job putting together the itinerary for our group of 6. All the hotels had fabulous breakfast bar included and staff were helpful with recommendations. Pedro also arranged for our drivers - Carlos & Ricardo and tour guides - Claudia, Ricardo & Catarina who were all wonderful, sharing the history of the cities, culture, landmarks and recommending restaurants. Favorite restaurants - Tasca da Esquina - Lisbon (thx Pedro) and O Bolotas in Coimbra for roast pork sandwich, chips & sparkling wine (thx Ricardo). Top notch trip!!

Pedro did an excellent job setting up, coordinating and communicating details about our Portugal Trip.

The airport transportation, the various tours and the transportation to/from the various locations we visited were all executed flawlessly. In addition the restaurant and activity suggestions were very helpful.

The tour guides (Claudia, Ricardo & Catarina) and main drivers (Carlos & Ricardo) that Pedro hired all did a fantastic job.

I consider myself a seasoned traveler, but until this year, never did a custom trip!

My college friend of 60 years is not a season traveler, but wanted to give customizing a trip a try.

In her research she found and contacted Kim Kim Travel letting them know that we were interested in visiting Portugal and what we hoped to see and do

Kim Kim presented us with an itinerary which we modified to better suit us. And after a few back-and-forth iterations , we had an itinerary complete with Hotels restaurant suggestions Drivers and Tour. Guides.

We saw and experienced Portugal from the moment we arrived, and through the eyes of the nicest individuals all of Portuguese descent. Each and every driver and Tour Guide surpassed expectations with their knowledge , sharing history of Portugal both past and present, pointing out architecture, statues monuments, and providing insight into the arts and music.

We had requested boutique hotels, and we marveled at each and every one from location to comfort, decor, amenities, including amazing breakfasts

We enjoyed walking tours in Lisbon, Porto and Portab Delgado. We visited towns of Sintra, (Pena Palace), Coimbra (university dating back to 1850’s) , Obidas(medieval Town), Nazare ( surfer’s paradise), Douro Valley (wineries mainly Port) and, our favorite, Cascais.

After nine days on the mainland, we flew to San Miguel Island in the Azores for four nights. We enjoyed two full day tours of the island and a walking tour of old town..

The day tours took us all over this beautiful and lush Island, where hydrangeas line streets and pathways and cows, outnumbered people

We took it all in and each site and experience was better than the other.

We enjoyed volcano cooking including an amazing Portuguese meat, and vegetable stew.

We tasted passionfruit liquor at an award-winning distillery

We relaxed in a pool heated by geothermal heat.
And walked through a beautiful botanical garden.

We visited a tea plantation, enjoyed wine, tasting, visited the king of cheese shop and fell in love with pumpkin jelly

Would I use Kim Kim again??? Absolutely!
Already thinking about my next great adventure🙂🙂🙂

Pedro and Team,
You rocked it!!!

Thank you♥️

We had a wonderful trip. Pedro provided us with a true experience of Portugal. A beautiful country based on their history and kindness of their people. A people who respect each other and love their country. From Lisboa spending time with Sandra in her TukTuk to Carlos taking us to the Peña Castle, we began to learn about the richness of the Portuguese country. Then off to Sintra and Nazare with a stop for a Portuguese cocktail. Our Carlos 2 showed us a part of Portugal that wasn’t on our radar. It was delightful. Next to Porto and a walking tour with Eduardo. That was a learning experience with built in exercise and shopping. He provided us with the insight of how passionate the Portuguese people are about their country and their faith. Then off to the Duoro River rise and wine tasting. Ricardo was so fun and contributed to our understanding of the wine country. Then down to the Algarve in a rented car that Pedro had set up for us. We stayed at an historic monastery, stopped at Fatima and spent a number of days on the beaches of the Algarve. All our reservations and arrangements that Pedro made for us provided us with a REAL vacation. We had no worries. Pedro and his team were always at a text away to ensure our enjoyable trip. From the accommodations, food, tours and services organized by Pedro were all amazing. This was a an amazing trip. Thanks Pedro

Pedro’ s attention to details and timely communications made for planning the itinerary and the day to day adventures in Portugal a joy! I loved the charm and friendliness of the Heritage Avenida Liberdade hotel in Lisbon and the elegant pampering at the Miragem in Cascais. Our walking tour guide in Lisbon, Margarita , was outstanding ! Our driver for the Sintra day and travels to Porto, Pepe, was absolutely the best. Ricardo, our driver to the Douro Valley and to Cascais was a close second. They both were incredibly knowledgeable about their country and so personable and fun! The highlights of the 12day trip for me were exploring the charming different villages and neighborhoods by wandering many miles in Lisbon and Porto, the Douro Valley’s incredible beauty and Obidos, Sintra and Cascais for their differences and charm. Exploring San Miguel in the Azores for a few days was also beautiful and the weather fantastic- next time there I might do private drivers as well . Pedro put together an amazing trip and I would highly recommend him- he deserves 5 + stars in my book. All the guides and drivers said they love working with him and I concur!
