Our first experience with Kimkim (a trip to Greece and southern Italy) was very positive. We are accustomed to planning our own trips but found the advantages of working with Kimkim worthwhile: our agents offered experience and advice that can otherwise be difficult to come by; the agency provided services that smoothed the way where we would have struggled (for example, getting from airports to hotels); suggestions were provided for activities we otherwise wouldn’t have known about, such as stopping on our drive from Athens to Nafplio for a wine tour and lunch. We would not normally have opted for private tours but found them excellent and well worth engaging. A few itinerary details in Italy were erroneous but we worked them out, and one tour was disappointing, but both our agents were very responsive when contacted. Our primary agent, Chris, listened carefully and planned thoughtfully, as well as checking in with us during our trip. Thanks for your valuable help!

We visited historical sites in Marsala followed by Mothia, remains of a fascinating Phoenician settlement. Our guide managed to fit in a good deal! Afterwards we toured the salt pans and saw how sea salt was harvested, saw the old wind-powered grinding stone, and had a salt tasting. A great day.

Dear Lori,

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback and notes regarding the tours and quality of the overall experience. I appreciate it.

I'm very happy everything was smooth and that we were there for you along the way, to help with any issues.

On the other hand, I am also disappointed that the tour in Santa Margherita was not up to your expectations, even though we did our best to accommodate. In my defense, I have to convey that Maria and I were assured that the tour would be as rich as possible to the extent you were looking for, regarding the history & culture of this town. It looks like it was not that way, and we only found out now, with your polite and kind feedback. I will surely look into this more closely with our local partner in Italy and make sure that we improve the future quality and context of similar requests.

I thank you again that you shared all this, and I hope to be able to make it up for you in the future, with another trip to Greece/Italy!

Kind regards,
Chris
