Tamer Obeid

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, and Turkey. Landed in Ecuador almost 9 years ago, and it didn’t take long to start getting dazzled by its pristine and incredibly diverse array of wonders, its intriguing culture, and the warmth of its people! Now being Ecuadorian by nationality, it has become my home, a home that I'm eager to share its unique beauty with our fellow travelers.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Being in this astonishing country, Ecuador, we specialize in making your dream journey come true. Allow us some of your time and we will custom-design you a trip of a lifetime! A trip where you could be hiking down the mighty Chimborazo today, wearing your thick sweater and insulated jacket, feeling the cold winds descending from the Andean peaks! And exactly the next day, you will be snorkeling or diving in the Pacific Ocean surrounded by a bunch of jolly Galapagos Sea Lions and endemic species of marine life while Frigatebirds are flying above your head! It is to that extent that this mega-diverse geography, a convenient infrastructure, and relatively close distances help us to achieve."

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 on Jatunyacu River, all are experiences I aspire to share with our passionate travelers."

Our trip to the Galápagos was truly unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Tamer and our local contact, Ariel, went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Traveling with a 12-month-old daughter could have been challenging, but they personalized the trip in such thoughtful ways that we always felt comfortable, supported, and able to enjoy ourselves fully.

Our trip to the Galápagos was truly unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Tamer and our local contact, Ariel, went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Traveling with a 12-month-old daughter could have been challenging, but they personalized the trip in such thoughtful ways that we always felt comfortable, supported, and able to enjoy ourselves fully.

The islands themselves are breathtaking—spectacular views, dramatic landscapes, and incredible wildlife everywhere you look. The activities were seamlessly organized and offered just the right balance of adventure and relaxation. Snorkeling was a highlight, with crystal-clear waters and amazing marine life, while the hike up Sierra Negra was an awe-inspiring experience we’ll never forget.

Thanks to the care and professionalism of the team, we were able to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime trip without stress. I would highly recommend both Kimkim and this wonderful team to anyone considering the Galápagos.
