Valentine was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. From our very first Zoom call, she took the time to really understand our family dynamic what we enjoy, what we don’t, and how we like to travel. That level of care made a huge difference. She created a thoughtful and well-balanced itinerary that perfectly blended history, culture, and outdoor experiences across Munich and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The initial plan was already great, and she was very flexible in helping us tweak a few things to better fit our needs. In the end, everything came together seamlessly.

Some highlights from our trip:
1. The Dachau Concentration Camp memorial visit was deeply moving and very well organized.
2. The Munich e-bike tour was a lot of fun and a great way to see the city especially it happened on Sunday which was a lot easier to navigate through than the other days.
3. Our private driver and guide Tom, who took us to Neuschwanstein Castle, was exceptional, he was not only knowledgeable but also very fun to be around, which made the entire day even more enjoyable.
4. Garmisch-Partenkirchen was stunning, and Hotel Zugspitze was excellent—especially the breakfast. The Zugspitze and the Partnach Gorge were unforgettable experiences
5. Our Nuremberg tour with Kevin was truly the most memorable—he made the day special for all of us

Every activity felt thoughtfully chosen for our family, and everything ran smoothly throughout the trip. We all had such a great time, and we are incredibly grateful to Valentine for selecting all the right experiences for us.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personalized, stress-free, and memorable travel experience.

Hotel Zugspitze
Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Our stay at Hotel Zugspitze was fantastic. The location is very convenient and close to everything, making it easy to get around Garmisch. The view from the room was stunning, especially with the surrounding mountains. Breakfast was excellent and a great way to start each day. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Our day trip to Nuremberg by train was wonderful. It’s a beautiful town with so much character, and I personally loved it. The mix of history and charm made it a very memorable stop on our trip. Our private tour guide, Kevin, truly made the experience even better. The whole family loved him—he was very personable, engaging, and easy to be around. He took us around the town and beyond, making sure we saw all the highlights while keeping things interesting and enjoyable.

Visiting Zugspitze was an incredible experience. It was absolutely beautiful to be on top of the clouds—something we won’t forget. The panoramic views from the summit are truly stunning and well worth the trip. We also stopped by Eibsee afterwards. Getting there was also very convenient. We took the bus from the station near our hotel, which made the journey simple and easy. Overall, it was a unique and memorable experience, and a must-do when visiting the area.

Our private tour from Munich to Neuschwanstein Castle was one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was smooth, well organized, and perfectly timed. Tom, our driver and guide, was exceptional—he was not only very knowledgeable but also incredibly fun to be around, which made the entire day even more enjoyable. He picked us up right on time and even messaged us on WhatsApp to let us know he was on his way, which we really appreciated. We arrived at the castle early, before it got too crowded, which made a big difference. Tom had all the tickets ready and guided us efficiently, even showing us a few shortcuts along the way. It made the whole experience feel easy and stress free. In addition to Neuschwanstein, Tom also took us to Linderhof and Ettal, which were beautiful and well worth the visit. He was also great at taking photos for us, making sure we captured some wonderful memories throughout the day. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and Tom truly made it special for us.

The e-bike tour was a fantastic way to explore Munich and ended up being one of the most fun activities of our trip. Interestingly, we were included with a regular bicycle group instead of all e-bikes, but it wasn’t an issue at all. The group dynamic worked well, and everyone kept a comfortable pace, so we still really enjoyed the experience. Simon, our tour guide, was great—he kept the ride fun, engaging, and informative throughout. He did an excellent job balancing history with lighthearted moments, which made the tour enjoyable for everyone. The highlights for us were definitely the stop at the beer garden and seeing the river surfers, which added a unique and memorable touch to the experience. Overall, it was a fun, relaxed, and memorable way to see the city, and I would highly recommend it.

Our visit to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial was a deeply moving and meaningful experience. It’s truly a place that leaves a lasting impression. The tour guide was excellent—very knowledgeable, communicated clearly, and did a great job helping us navigate through the camp while sharing important historical context with sensitivity and respect. Having a good guide made a big difference in understanding the significance of the site. The only downside for me personally was the group size. With around 25 people, it felt a bit large at times, and I would have preferred a smaller group for a more personal experience. Overall, it was a powerful and well-organized tour, and I’m very glad we included it in our trip.

One would think that it would be near impossible for one to have a perfect 6-week journey across Europe including 10 countries and so many cities and events. Well, kimkim.com , Mathilde and her colleagues made that happen for us.
-- Blacklane: One of the best decisions we made was to use "transfers" to & from hotels and to & from train stations or airports. Blacklane was totally professional, prompt, beyond helpful and always made us feel that we were safe and in good hands.... 5 stars!
-- Livtours: They were another blessing for us. We loved the small group size of no more than 6 and on several occasions we were the only ones with the guide. They were very professional, knowledgeable, personable, and made our tours very memorable.... 5 stars!
-- Hotels: kimkim.com and Mathilde did a great job of picking our hotels for us. Location and culture were a huge part of her selections. We trusted her totally in very hotel selection and were very satisfied.... 5 stars!
-- Events: We felt that Mathilde chose highly selected tickets for our tours and events.
- The seating for the Flamenco Show & Dinner in Barcelona was perfect!
- Our table for our Seine River Dinner Cruise in Paris was perfect!
- Our table for the Moulin Rouge Dinner Show in Paris was right up front at the stage and again, perfect!
- Jim absolutely loved the cooking class in Florence!
- And then there was Mother's Day (May 10th in the US) and the Spanish Lippizan Horse Show! We were in the
box seats, row 4, perfectly centered for the performance! What a perfect, special event for Mother's Day!
- And finally, we loved the 24/7 access that was made available for help when needed.
Jim and I are pretty picky with high expectations of others; so, when we say we are 100% pleased with our 6-week journey across Europe, IT MEANS SOMETHING! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
We are spreading the word about kimkim.com

We didn't have a lot of guides on this one, but our private tour to Giethoorn was led by a champ. One of us was sick and he was very accommodating.

Buddy Hotel
Munich

Can't really complain as long as you know what you're getting into. Decent priced in the heart of the city. No real breakfast. Get your own cups and coffee/tea pods from downstairs. Basic toiletries and in-room supplies. Check yourself in and out. But other than that quite clean and roomy. A/c worked well. Basic necessities at basic pricing.
