My husband and I recently visited Italy - our first trip to Rome and Florence. This is the second trip Marina has planned for us - and once again she did a fantastic job!! We were able to see everything you should on a first trip - plus a few extras!!! The sightseeing tours were informative and well-timed - including a golf cart overview of Rome upon arrival - with interesting and knowledgeable guides. The private and semi-private tours of the Vatican, the Colosseum (and the Roman Forum), and the highlights of Florence were exceptional. The food tours in Rome were terrific, and we were introduced to many of the local dishes.

We spent a morning in Pisa where we saw the Leaning Tower and also had a day trip to Tuscany which included a private tour of a winery and olive oil producer. The tour concluded with a very nice lunch looking out over the rolling hills and beautiful landscape of Tuscany. We tasted multiple wines and some olive oil. That afternoon our driver took us to the small town of Vinci - where Leonardo grew up. We saw his childhood home, the church where he was baptized and an interesting museum containing models of the machinery Leonardo drew in his books.

Our accommodations were wonderful - in Rome we stayed in a hotel across the street from Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore where Pope Francis is buried and our hotel in Florence stands on the land once belonging to Lorenzo the Magnificent and home to his art school where Michelangelo was trained.

Our thanks to Marina for again giving us a very memorable trip. Her attention to detail and efforts to accommodate our particular interests was superb!!!

The tour was fabulous. A must do. Our scheduled ride to the estate did not show up. A British couple took pity on us and brought us to the estate for the tour. We were told at the estate that we needed a driver to take us to the truffle hunting forest. Other guests took pity on us yet again and gave us a ride. Make sure a driver is assigned to the guest for the entire day eliminating the “pity part” aspect. Otherwise, that activity was enchanting.

Becauae if this change the agents canvelled our private airpoet transfer, so we had to spend 70 euro to get a very sketchy ride in a taxi. Knowing what we know now, we would not go back to Naples. Our hotel was nice but in a very bad area. It was dirty and crime ridden, lots of pickpockets. I feel ike we should have been prewarned about this. We enjoyed our Pompeii visit with a private guide, and Maria was great, but it was advertised as a 3 hour tour and we only spent an hour and a half there. Also, we ate at a restaurant in Pompeii that made my husband very sick.
Sorrento was great but we missed both of the boat days due to my husband's food poisoning. On our final day the transport service was supposed to pick us up at 9 to go to the airport but he didn't arrive until 9:45. He then drove like a maniac to the airport, which was terrifying.
All in all, I'm not sure if I would book again with this service. I didnt appreciate having to pay for a taxi because our flight number changed. I also didn't appreciate our tour being cut so short. I think we should have been warned more about the dangers of Naples as well. Our last day was very stressful due to the late start to the airport and the scary driving experience.

Dear Lauren, thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in Italy and that many aspects of your journey met your expectations. I also appreciate your openness in sharing your view.
We understand that your flight cancellation created an unexpected disruption to your plans. Your private transfer remained confirmed; however, since our local drivers manage multiple transfers daily—especially during the high season—extended waiting times are not always feasible, as they often have consecutive assignments. To help mitigate the impact of unforeseen travel changes, we recommend purchasing travel insurance that includes coverage for flight delays or cancellations in this way, unexpected out of pocket expenses are covered due to the disruption.
Regarding your stay in Naples, I understand that your perception of the area differed from what you expected. The hotel you stayed in is one that our travelers typically find comfortable and convenient, and we have not received safety concerns from any previous guests. That said, I recognize how personal comfort and perception can vary. We always suggest staying aware of surroundings and using main streets after dark — just as one would in any major European city. Naples is a vibrant city rich in history and culture, and our recommended hotels are carefully selected with both convenience and security in mind.

Regarding the Pompeii experience, the total duration of approximately three hours includes both the guided portion and the scheduled lunch break, so timing may vary slightly depending on the group’s pace. I’m very sorry to hear that your husband felt unwell after lunch. Although we have not received similar reports about this restaurant, I understand how unpleasant that must have been. Even though the situation was outside our control, we took steps to assist you — including arranging refunds where possible, as well as we rescheduled your cooking class free of charge on the previous days.
Finally, thank you for noting your experience with the airport transfer driver. I have shared your feedback with the transport company to ensure that this does not happen in the future.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely appreciate hearing your views.

- Timing for all our transfers, hotel locations and quality of hotels were exceptional. 10/10
- KimKim selection and arrangement of all tours met expectations with minor issues, which we have provided comments below. 9/10
- KimKim selections of meal locations and foods tours was also exceptional, which provided us with a broad selection of the local culture. 10/10
- All guides were exceptional, they were very personable and provided an informative review of the areas that they toured us through. They were all engaged in their work which was nice to see. 10/10
- Ease of access to rail and bus service from our accommodation was incredibly good, as we were in central or almost central locations, which allowed us to walk to most of the attractions in the city.
- 0verall the whole trip was fantastic with no issues whatsoever. We would select Kim Kim again when we are planning another vacation. 9.5/10
Following are comments about the activities that were arranged by KimKim:
- Montserrat Museum did not meet our expectations, as we were unable to see buildings and churches without paying extra for passes. 7/10
- Mix-up with our driver/taxi for our Ronda & White Village tours as we our driver was unable to speak any English, which made it difficult to communicate. We were able to do so using our phones to type messages, which allowed the driver to provide us with updates as to what we were doing. Overall, the trip was good. 8/10
- Our Discover Rural Algarve trip was similar to the Sunset Trip the day before. Although we were unable to change the trip when we check with KimKim, our driver was very accommodating and as such being a local, he was able to change the trip to allow us to see other parts of the Algarve that we did not see the day before. His knowledge of the area and history of such allowed this mix-up to turn into a very exceptional daytrip. 9.0/10
- Our final accommodation at the Wine House Hotel did not meet our expectations. Although it was a unique experience with relaxing views of the vineyard, the room was very small and difficult to maneuver within 8.0/10
Thank you to you and the KimKim team for planning such a wonderful trip. We look forward to using KimKim in the future.

The trip was great with only one snafu which was the double booking of Bari leaving us without a reservation. It could happen to anyone, but one thing that would have helped is to have a driver or tax pick up all our luggage to transport to the next place so we didn't have to carry many piece of luggage and gifts many blocks which was nearly impossible. Again, that is the only thing that wasn't perfect! I will use Bea and KimKim in the future!
