The view was breathtaking, but it did lack in a few areas. The shower was darling, but we were never able to get the water to be anything but scalding or freezing. The hot tub on the deck, was cute, but only luke warm, and the pool was freezing. The pool chairs were comfortable, but old and beat up.

Whenever working with a company for the first time, there's always a bit of nervousness. Siena and the team soon made those jitters fade away. We told her what we wanted to do, and after asking a few more questions to paint the full picture, she planned an amazing trip for us. All guides were excellent. The accommodations were excellent. Always picked up at the time promised (I can't tell you how many times we've waited at the airport for our prearranged ride, only to have noone show up).... Read more

Always picked up at the time promised (I can't tell you how many times we've waited at the airport for our prearranged ride, only to have noone show up). Anyway, Siena and her team were in constant contact with us and also had a final zoom meeting prior to our adventure, just to go over everything on last time. Our experience in Meteora was lovely, as was our first (and not last) experience with Kimkim. We are well traveled and I can wholeheartedly recommend this company and the wonderful experience they put together for us.
