Our trip to England, Scotland, and Wales could not have been better! The itinerary, lodging, and activities that Tetiana planned were perfect for us as a group including a mom and dad, 2 children 7 and 12, and a grandmother.
We enjoyed all the tours Tetiana booked for us, but especially the private tours in Oxford with Samuel, in Cardiff with Dylan, in Edinburgh with Zander, and the world of sheepdogs demonstration outside Edinburgh with Julie Hill.
The group tour in Liverpool about Beatles history was also outstanding.
Our lodgings were all wonderful,, but I think our overall favorite was the Bear and Ragged Staff near Oxford.
Tetiana was also available for us the entire time we were there. She helped with navigating the tube lines in London to get to Starlight Express and to reschedule a lake cruise in Windermere when a flat tire forced us to miss the originally scheduled one. Thanks, Tetiana!!

Bear and Ragged Staff

Oxford

The Bear and Ragged Staff was my absolute favorite accommodation during our trip. It was such a unique experience staying above a pub in the countryside. All the accommodations on our trip were outstanding, but this one stood out because it was so different and felt like a more immersive experience.

Starlight Express

London

Starlight Express was a fantastic highlight of our trip! Starting in London and seeing this show was amazing. It's one of those experiences that really stands out because it was just so much fun.

Beatles and History Guided Walking Tour

Liverpool

The Beatles and History Guided Walking Tour in Liverpool was outstanding. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared amazing insights into the Beatles' history. It was really interesting and made me appreciate the Beatles even more. A definite highlight of our trip!

Brecon Beacons National Park

Wales

Our visit to Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales was great! It was something that Tatiana helped us add to our itinerary, and I'm so glad we did it. The scenery was beautiful and it was such a wonderful experience.

World of Sheepdogs

Edinburgh

The World of Sheepdogs experience near Edinburgh was incredible. Having the place to ourselves and seeing those amazing dogs was a perfect way to wind up our trip. It was absolutely outstanding.

They just got home and had an incredible time. The activities like the Thurso Tour and accommodations were incredible with Forss Hotel being a favorite! You did a great job making sure all the details were in place. You were extremely helpful tailoring the trip for them!
We will use you again!

Chris was amazing as well as our Cambridge tour guide! Loved them!

We had a great experience using kimkim and Tetiana for our UK vacation. Tetiana worked with us to suggest and finalize a good balance of scheduled tours and self exploration. We had a couple days in each London, Oxford, and Bath for our week of vacation. Highlights included a private walking tour with a retired royal guard. The history of London he shared with his experiences as a royal guard were educational and entertaining. In Oxford, we had a small group tour of the Cotswolds that was a great half day of seeing a number of villages. In Bath, we decided to explore on our own with suggestions of things to see. In all three locations, we had amazing stays at the inns Tetiana selected for us - all were charming with access to pubs, transportation and more local flare. It was so nice to have all the hotels, train tickets, and tour tickets prepaid and we greatly appreciated kimkim's web site where we quickly had access to all our electronic tickets, descriptions of our inns, our itinerary and chat with Tetiana if we needed anything. We absolutely will use kimkim again and tell all our friends!!

We had booked KimKim for guides in York, England and the Yorkshire area. Tatiana, our English contact, provided us with knowledgeable local people who were wonderfully responsive to our interests. It was a great time for us. Thank you, KimKim.

Tatiana was fantastic - very responsive and able to help with issues that came up during the trip. Would recommend her and KimKim to everyon

Initially, I was a bit hesitant to use an online travel planner, but after working with Tania, I’m completely converted—she’ll be my go-to for any future trips to Europe. From the very beginning, she made the process smooth and personal. We had several detailed conversations where she really listened to what I wanted, and then she presented thoughtful, well-researched options for each of the towns we wanted to visit.

Tetiana handled all the logistics, booking five great hotels, several activities, and providing us with a thorough outline of things to do and places to see. Every recommendation hit the mark. Some of our highlights included a fantastic guided tour of Edinburgh, visiting Holyrood Palace, and hiking up Arthur’s Seat. The Isle of Skye was another standout with its breathtaking scenery and incredible hikes.

What really set Tetiana apart was her support during the inevitable travel hiccups—lost luggage, a flat tire, and other minor issues. She was just a message away and always ready with helpful advice and calm reassurance. It made such a difference to know we had someone in our corner throughout the trip.

I can’t recommend Tetiana highly enough. She made our Scotland trip not just easier, but better in every way.
