Three people were ultimately involved in trip planning. North Pantanal was good, saw one jaguar. Iguacu Falls was spectacular, more so from the Argentinian side. Best part of Rio was the favela tour.
Negative aspects were that two of three airport pickups were botched, either by kimkim or subcontractor. Forget about emergency numbers being answered. I have no desire to return to Brazil, and would never use kimkim Brazil again.

Dear Jake,
Thank you for your review, which however surprised us a lot.
In fact, you came to our agency in Rio de Janeiro where we offered you a private tour of the favela, even though one of the inconveniences at the airport was not linked to our responsibility.
On that occasion, you laughed and joked with us, saying that you were enjoying the tour.

I'm sorry that you said that you no longer want to return to Brazil because it is a country full of beautiful things to see.
I'm even more sorry that you no longer want to travel with Kikkim as it is a serious organization that always works for customer satisfaction. If I can give you some advice, next time don't dwell on the negative aspects of the trip, but on the positive ones and, in Brazil, there are many positive things

Wonderful, stress-free vacation in Brazil!

We had a hugely successful and wonderful trip to Brazil with lots of help with Lia.

Our pick-ups, transfers, were all prompt, and we have very little wasted time due to using a tour company and small group tours (some private). We had real-time communication about add-on tours at the end of our trip and very prompt, knowledgeable local guides in Brazil. Accommodations were excellent (especially Ipanema Inn in Rio) and I would highly recommend using KimKim for customizable tours to maximize sightseeing and for stress-free travel.

Ipanema Inn

Wonderful service, including on arrival. Prime location, one block from Ipanema Beach, and great access to local restaurants and shops. Room had A/C and was extremely comfortable, with hotel-provided toiletries, bidet, and very clean bathroom. Wonderful amenities including free bike rental for biking around town and nearby Lagoa and included a la carte gourmet breakfast. Restaurant on site with Happy Hour was a plus.

Loved hitting the high points of Rio in this well-planned tour. A bit disappointed to not see Christ the Redeemer during morning sun (was saved until afternoon, when weather was very foggy). A good amount waiting for pick-ups and for other guests. Wish that drinks (even just water) could have been included with the included lunch meal (which wasn't until after 3 p.m.)

Incredible viewing experience of the falls and experienced guide, Fouad. Our day seeing the Brazilian side falls from the walkway was rushed due to the plane's (on-time) arrival time, trip to Parque das Aves, and the (optional but which was encouraged) boat tour. We had less than 2 hours at the park, which was not enough time.

We were very happy with our itinerary and any concerns we had about having to take internal flights were not justified. The country is just so huge that there weren't any other viable options and it was definitely worth it.
All the hotels were very comfortable and everyone we encountered couldn't have been nicer.

Lovely peaceful hotel with wildlife all around. You stay in a bungalow in the grounds and we often had monkeys in the trees around us. Very friendly, helpful staff. The restaurant food was very good, we had dinner there one evening, and the included breakfast was varied and tasty. It is located outside the town, which means you are surrounded by nature and it's quiet but you will need to get a taxi to get to Bonito (not at all expensive)

Being on a boat at the bottom of the falls was fantastic but this safari seemed to be very focused on selling you photos that they'd taken. There was no option to swim (as was in our itinerary description), we only were taken to one set of falls and they pulled up at the side of the river and spent about 5 minutes taking Photos of the groups on the boats. The small boat also meant that from most seats you had no view up the river, all you could see was the bow of the boat and the worker who was taking photos. Being driven into the water of the falls however was a LOT of fun. The boat from the Argentinian side seemed to be better, it went to 2-3 sets of falls and also drove into the water. So, if your itinerary allows, this would be better.

Definitely take your own lunch. Whilst the manioc fries were great the rest of the food was terrible.

My daughter and I decided to visit Brazil in January. I heard about Kimkim from my neighbor and decided to use them. Being two women traveling by ourselves it seemed like an ideal choice. After answering some questions on a very user friendly website we were put in touch with Daria our trip designer. I cannot say enough good things about her. She gave great recommendations to visit 3 places in Brazil and use our 7 days/6 nights wisely. Every detail including pick ups and drops off to airports were planned and we felt very safe and all transfers went very smoothly. We visited Rio de Janeiro first where over 2 days we saw all the important sights leisurely in private tours where only my daughter and I were with the tour guide. The tour guides picked us up at the hotel, took us through leisurely to visit the right amount of sites for half a day leaving us half a day to explore on our own. Rio was beautiful, the liveliness of Copacabana, the majestic views of Christ the Redeemer, the Birds Eye views from Sugar loaf, the artistic Selaron steps and quaint district of St Theresa were all awesome. From there we boarded a flight to Iguazu to see the majestic Iguazu Falls. The falls go as far as the eye can see. We took a boat tour recommended by Daria which takes you right under the Falls. It was exhilarating! We had time to see the Falls from the Brazilian and Argentinian sides. After that we flew to Rio and directly had a taxi take us to Paraty, a village settled by Portuguese in 1600s and it has the original cobblestone streets. This was a recommendation by Daria because I wanted to see a colonial town. It is situated beautifully with the bay on one side and the forest on the other. We enjoyed the walking tour of the serene village in the morning and the bustling streets in the evening. We took a boat out to the bay and the captain stopped at various islands for us to snorkel, sunbathe, lunch! It was a big highlight of our entire trip. I’m so glad Daria suggested this village as it’s not on a traditional itinerary. The food and drinks and the people were also wonderful! Daria and kimkim get 5 stars and more if we could do that!
