Our trip to Spain was amazing, 19 months of planing with KimKim. This was the 2nd time using them, and would definitely use 7 refer them. From Seville, Madrid, Costa Brava to Barcelona and all the other excursions kayaking, wine tasting, royal palace taps stroll etc. All amazing. But there was a couple of bumps in the road which was not really a big deal. But I did I feel like Alfonso was more of pointing the issues at others, rather than understanding the issue.

Our trip to Spain was amazing, 19 months of planing with KimKim. This was the 2nd time using them, and would definitely use 7 refer them. From Seville, Madrid, Costa Brava to Barcelona and all the other excursions kayaking, wine tasting, royal palace taps stroll etc. All amazing. But there was a couple of bumps in the road which was not really a big deal. But I did I feel like Alfonso was more of pointing the issues at others, rather than understanding the issue. Or just take accountability.
*1st issue was every stop from destination to destination we had a private transfer from hotel to train station or vice versa. Except when leaving Madrid, we were required to take a taxi to the train station. Private transfer should have been included, and I will never be convinced it shouldn't have been. When asked about this, Alfonso immediately referenced a conversation we had in the trip chat about taxis. But that was in regards to taking taxis to our excursions(Costa Brava) not back to a train station
*2nd issue was at some point our train time changed leaving Madrid to Costa Brava back in May. But we were never notified, and we never noticed either. Originally scheduled to leave at 10:30 and arrive 13:15. New time was 12:27 and arrive 16:35. Not that big of deal, but what was never mentioned once was that it was an 1:15min ride to the hotel. So what originally was a day we thought we would be at the Hotel by at least 14:00, didn't arrive until almost 18:30. In addition to the time changes our train tickets had incorrect train # on it. Thankfully Renfe held the train for 20min to get us seats on the train
*3rd issue was not having clear instructions at the Sagrada Familia. Had instructions to meet for a guided tour at 17:00 at a certain point, we waited and waited. But eventually we didn't know who we were actually waiting for so we went inside. Where we waited there's hundreds of people, different tours with different groups, colored flags etc. Again this wasn't really a big deal for us, but when asked Alfonso seemed very frustrated with us, as if we were just asking to much. We just didn't know, we followed the specific instructions and just waited at the meeting. But didn't know who we were meeting.
*4th issue was Alfonso creating a WhatsApp group thread for communicating, and not actually including me. The group consisted of him, his associate and my wife Paula. This I didn't understand, as I just spent 19months planing this trip with him, and he set up this group chat without me. Wasn't until the 2nd to last day I was added to the chat. Again small issue, I just didn't understand why.
In summary our trip was amazing!! I spent 19 months planing this with Alfonso and everything he put together was amazing from top to bottom, the hotels, excursions food etc. Although I do know Alfonso was dealing with a family matter, and I hope everything is ok. My father passed away this past January, it was a very difficult time. With that said I feel Alfonso did a great job with everything, nothing is ever perfect. Would still give 4-4.5 stars. There was just a couple of things where the instructions weren't clear to us, and when we reached out. We sensed some frustration from Alfonso towards us. We've now been home for 12days, and I thought its very unusual for a traveler agent that you worked with for 19 months, and hasn't even reached out asking how the trip was. Or ask for a review? So I came on to check, and only saw the KimKim reply. Either way can't wait to plan the next trip

Dear Michael and Paula.
First of all, thanks for taking the time to write this review so other travelers can enjoy a similar trip to yours.
As you know, during the trip we exchanged many messages via WhatsApp and on Kimkim´s platform, so I won´t repeat myself, but I'll answer your four "bumps on the road" so other future travelers can better understand them:
* 1st issue: We provide all the services included in the trip plan: hotels, transfers, activities, guides... If something is not included in the trip plan, and you don´t ask for it when building the trip together, this is a platform to build customized trips with the traveler. I´m sorry, but it´ll be something that you´ll need to pay for on your own (a meal, a taxi, a ticket...). Other travelers do it that way, and we never had a problem with it.
* 2nd issue: The train company gave us two tickets for your trip from Madrid to Costa Brava, and they changed the timetables and train numbers. It was the train company who made these last-minute changes, not us. Because you had validated tickets, they rearranged your train ride. Sorry about this, but it was not under our control. This happens from time to time with trains and flights.
* 3rd issue: I´m sorry if our instructions were not clear enough, but they mentioned that it was a small group visit that you were joining in Sagrada Familia, and not a private visit. Sorry once again if you got confused. We´ll give more detailed instructions to future travellers.
* 4th issue: We made a WhatsApp group to assist you faster during the trip, and all the members of the group were designed as administrators. This means that any member of the group was able to add other members. When, on the last day of the trip, you mentioned this issue, I´m sorry, but things are much easier if, from the very beginning, you tell us that you want to add another member and that you are not familiar with doing so.
Once again, thanks for trusting in us, and once again thanks for your positive attitude even though you had a couple of small "bumps on the road"
As I said at the end of the trip, we wish you the very best and take care of yourselves.
Warm regards.

My KimKim team in Spain — Alfonso & Uhaina — could not have been better. Immediately responsive to any and every question or need that I had. I was ill in Sevilla for several days. They coordinated with my hotel staff to ensure I had all the care and attention I needed. Being sick in a foreign land is uncomfortable to say the least. The help and reassurance they provided was invaluable. When my plans changed because of the illness, they rearranged everything with professionalism and kindness. I cannot recommend KimKim more highly. I will use KimKim for every trip f rom now on.

Alfonso was wonderful at planning a trip without much feed back from me, as i was very pressed for time prior to the trip departure. The guides he hired were AMAZING! Jose was born and raised in Madrid, knew the city and the culture like the back of his hand, and his passion for art history and it’s links to the country were clear in his passionate tour of the Prado. Raquel was born and raised in SEville, and was a true ambassador for the city. Her love for her city and it’s history was clear, and she loved sharing it with us.
Thank you Kim Kim and Alfonso for an amazing Spain trip.

Review for KimKim 1 December 2025

My wife and I decided to sponsor a family trip to Spain. Our trip would be for a week for the 6 of us. Our planning time with KimKim and agents, Alfonso and Uhaina was very easy. We established our basic budget, hotel preferences, transport needs, and places to visit. The communications were by text and went very well. We opted out of having our local transportation needs met by the trip provider. We were confident that we could use the metro and cabs. Indeed, we found the metro and taxis easy to use. We did request airport transfers, and they were provided, with good drivers and nice cars, meeting us right on time and in the right place.
Unfortunately, I took a hard fall on our second full day and had to spend the night in the emergency room in Barcelona. I was unable to continue with the remainder of the trip, which included several site visits and a three-day trip to Seville. KimKim made all of the necessary adjustments.
We did not get refunds on any flights, events, or hotels that were cancelled. In addition, there was no hospital insurance, a fact that we knew from the beginning.

KimKim helped us make the most of a difficult time, and I would recommend them to a friend.
