A traveler myself since 1997, blessed to have had unforgettable experiences in different parts of this world that haven’t ceased to amaze me! Originally from the middle east, I have lived in the UAE, Qatar, Malaysia, Turkey, and Ecuador, amongst other countries. Landed in Latin America almost 7 years ago, and it didn’t take long to start getting dazzled by the pristine and incredibly diverse array of wonders, the intriguing culture, and the warmth of the people in this part of the world!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"We specialize in making your dream journey come true. Allow us some of your time and we will tailor-make a trip of a lifetime for you!
From the north of Chile, close to the Argentine and Bolivian borders, to the volcanic Easter Island; one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth, all the way to Patagonia, we promise you exceptional experiences."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I was lucky enough to be able to start traveling at a very early age. For different reasons related to my initial career, I found myself moving from one country to another, admiring their various cultures and the unique experiences each generously offered. At one point, I was granted the invaluable chance of joining a magnificent team and becoming a travel specialist where I can combine two of my top passions; travel and customer service that is. Since then, I hold dear every chance I have to draw a smile on my travelers’ faces, share knowledge with them and help them have memorable times."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"As each travel experience I had throughout the years possesses a certain spot in my heart and memories, it is not easy to favor one over the other. Each welcoming face I met, scenery I gazed at and adventure I sighed after has its own distinguished contribution. Whether visiting an indigenous community in the Ecuadorian Amazon and learning about their customs, or whitewater rafting in Jatunyacu river, all are experiences I aspire to share with our passionate travelers."

I had a fantastic time in Chile and was given huge amounts of reassurance from having local people who I could access via Whatsapp throughout my trip. As a woman travelling on my own in South America I felt safe and organised. There were a couple of hiccups but these were resolved quickly by the team who were prompt in their responses and professional. I generally organise my own trips but I didn't have time on this occasion and I was pleasantly surprised by what I could fit in by handing the responsibility over to someone else!

I have nothing but FANTSTIC things to say about KimKim, Responsible Travel, and the entire team that helped us plan and bring to life an amazing trip to Chile. The KimKim platform is excellent for communicating and planning travel; Both Tamir and Cami were super responsive during the planning process, filled with suggestions and advice about what to see and do during our time in Chile. Once we arrived in Santiago, we were met by our extraordinary guide, Angel, our on-the-ground local expert resource and friend. Angel was incredibly welcoming, knowledgable, flexible and creative in his approach to sharing his country and culture with us. He was very responsive to our needs, and totally game for unusual requests (like a mid-winter swim in the ocean!). We had four weeks of travel in Chile, and things went very, very smoothly; KimKim dealt with all the bookings (lodging, transport, tours), and Angel and the KimKim team were always there for us to answer questions or provide us with additional information. Santiago was the base out of which we traveled, so we were able to connect with Angel throughout our time in Chile. Angel is, quite simply, a fantastic guide, and he’s now a good friend. We look forward to returning to Chile and reconnecting with him!

Many thanks to the KimKim team for all their help in making our Chile adventure so epic!

The Valley of the Moon tour was excellent as it gave a totally different perspective to the concept of desert.
I cannot thank the Kim Kim travel staff who helped change the itinerary after my husband got ill - combination of cold and high elevation. They were there for me to help get him to a lower elevation which is what we needed to do.
The only negative was the hotel in Santiago - it met the needs of sleeping but it was really very basic.

If you have snorkeled anywhere in the South Pacific or in the Galapagos this is really a waste of time. There are few fish - I maybe saw a total of 100 - and the variety is poor. I did it to say I had snorkeled at Easter Island but it was not very good. I was the only one in the group so had the leader to myself.

There are not a lot of fish so improving it would be difficult. The time out on the water was not very long. If we had been able to go to Bird Island the experience might have been better.

The driver threw that bus around corners at great speed. If you had car issues it might have been a problem. The guide said ask any questions and he would answer them but he was up front and not listening and one could not jump up and ask questions due the way the bus was being driven. In addition, he spent more time on his phone than paying attention to his clients. You had to wait until the bus stopped to engage with him. I saw Rhias but could not get his attention and he kept saying we will see more. I did see more but no one else did because you could not get his attention. Lunch at 4pm is not lunch time.

Me and my husband just came back from our trip in Chile and it was a very satisfying trip. Chile is a very diverse country that everybody needs to add it to their bucket list. Our 10-day sojourn was just a glimpse of what the country has to offer.
This was all made possible when we contacted Tamer who was instrumental in making this happen. Tamer was very patient with us during the planning. He gave us a few tour packages to choose from and he was very responsive. He basically answered all our questions in the quickest time possible.
Angel, who was our first contact during our Santiago stay was awesome !!! He is very professional and yet very personable. He treated us like we were family during our stay. Angel and his entire team were always reaching out to us and asking how we are doing. Very responsive, very punctual and just very comforting to know that he has our back. I like the fact that they reach out to us and gives us updates on our daily itinerary.
Our tour in San Pedro de Atacama and Patagonia were just outstanding.
We've been to quite a few countries and always had no trouble with our tour packages but in Chile- they seem to go above and beyond.
After all our tours-our guides always have a spread of food and drinks which is really something that you can look forward to.
Chilean people are very nice and welcoming.. We've never encountered any person who hasn't smiled or helped us out in every way possible.
So many places to go and explore but we don't mind coming back to Chile. There's so much this country has to offer that we have barely scratched the surface.

The location itself was great. The bellboy to the front desk employees were really attentive. What it lacks is an update to their rooms. Seems very dated. The bathroom needs to be fixed. It is functioning but it just doesn't look inviting at all. It needs caulking. Food was okay. Nothing fancy.

It's not a high end lodge but i like the fact that they upcycle materials to use. The restaurant is clean and inviting. Food is okay. it's just a typical free breakfast. But i'll pick to stay here again if ever we'll be back in Chile.

We absolutely love this hotel !!! This has a lot of character. We love the quirkiness of this hotel. Every detail was thought of. The room has awesome. Clean and inviting. Too bad we only stayed here overnight. The restaurant was awesome. This hotel is an example of having a clean, inviting and comfortable without being expensive. They made use of what's native to the area and re-used vintage treasure finds to keep this place authentic. It is a small hotel since this used to be a house that's almost a century old but i just like the vibe. The only downside is the fact that there is no elevator which makes carrying your luggage harder not only for us guests but also for the staff that carries them.

Having staff checking in with us regularly to make sure the trip was going smoothly was comforting. The communication and special advice was valuable and the entire trip just flowed. I loved our pre-arranged airport transfers! And our experienced van driver to ski areas, not only was a great driver, but understood why its important to get to the slopes early was a bonus. Everyone was considerate and thoughtful to us. Chile is a remarkable country. Great food and friendly people.
