Rebecca did a fabulous job planning our holiday. So many highlights ... Having our transportation all pre-arranged was heaven. The drivers were all very professional, cars were spotless and driving was excellent. A highlight day was in Santorini with Lazarus. We had such a fun day seeing the island from his eyes....

I hope I do this justice with my lack of written skills. We loved our trip. I have always planned my own travels, even international. This was my first time using any kind of travel service including kimkim.com. All I can say is that it was fabulous. The planning was an easy interactive process between us and our specialist Rebecca Skevakis.

Deposits and final payment was handled online and very easy. We received a very comprehensive trip app that had all our information to include city guides, tickets for planes, trains and activities. All of the transfers were by private car and everyone was on time, and we had several.

We started by arriving in Athens Greece, we were met by a representative who gave us an overview of how things worked, along with a nice gift of goodies. After this we left on our flight to Santorini. There our driver met us and drove us to out hotel. We had several wonderful events; half day on a catamaran sailboat visiting sites around the caldera with wonderful service and food. We did a Sights and Wine tour and Lazarus was a fantastic and intensely knowledgeable guide. He has a very genuine love of Thira and its history. The food and wine on this trip was more than we had expected, very top notch. There was also included a detailed hike guide to go along the cliff side trail between Fira and Oia, we had this planned in our travels but decided to use the time to see more of Oia.

Our trip took us to Athens next where we had a great guided tour of the Acropolis, our Guide Nicholas was not only knowlable but has spent most of his career involved in the restorations. The Acropolis is a sight as the sun sets.

A highlight was a trip out to Delphi, it is a long trip there and back but our guide and driver was very knowalgable. The ruins were breathtaking and we had a nice meal afterwards before the return trip.

After our speedy Athen nights it was off to Italy for a week. Again the transfers to the airport and hotels were flawless. The trip app updates automatically with flight information and gate updates. We arrive and Naples and our driver Pasquale was there to meet us. We drove to Pompeii for another guided tour, our guide was a wealth of knowledge and very entertaining. Pasqual drove us on to our hotel in Sorrento pointing out history and sights along the way.

Our Sorrento leg as was dampened a bit by some rain and wind which canceled our ferry to Capri but the next day it was perfect. Ferry company did not make the change very easy, this is the one and only negative of the trip, a small one in the bid scheme of things.

Off to Revello for a couple of nights, our driver once again was Pasquale. We made the drive along the Amalfi coast road with a short unplanned stop to see some of Positano. This was unplanned but Pasquale was nice enough to make it work out. We did not have any pre planned activities in Ravello but used the city guide provided in the trip App to find places to eat and see. The Villa Rufolo and Cimbrone are the must see sights. One day we also walked down to Amalfi from Ravello, about and hour and a half with our stops to take pictures. We opted to take a taxi back, wimps I know!

Finally it was time to start our journey home. The drive from Ravello to the Naples train station was by our favorite, Pasquale. It was nice having the same drive for all these transfers. It was the same in Santorini and Athens, the drivers were the same for arrival and departure.

The high speed train between Naples and Rome was nice and out transfer to our hotel by the Rome airport was uneventful. We had seen Rome on other trips so as we like to do we stay at a hotel at the airport to allow for a less hectic departure day.

I highly recommend kimkim for your travels. I was apprehensive because I thought I was always saving lots of money doing it all on my own. Well I am here to tell you the extra paid for the services is not terrible and worth every penny for two reasons. One, the headache of getting from airport or train station to hotels or between cites is a time saver because it is all taken care of. There is know searching for a taxi or bus, waiting in long lines, guessing if the taxi is charging too much. Second the communication between us and Rebecca our travel specialist was so nice, its concierge service for the entire trip.

We just got back from our dream trip to Greece. Working with Rebecca at KimKim was a pleasure and all her suggestions and bookings were fabulous. We loved the places she picked for us to stay. We started our trip in Athens after getting off a 10 day cruise. We spent 2 nights in Athens then our rental car was delivered to the hotel and we started our next adventure. While in Athens we did two wonderful tours. First was going to Private Cape Sounion & the Temple of Poseidon Sunset Tour. This was a great chance to get out of the city with our guide and to see a beautiful sunset at a magical historic site. The second day we did Athens - Myths & Tales and Acropolis Walking Tour (Private Tour). Having an Archaeologist walk you through the Acropolis is a bonus. He realized I was having walking issues with my knee and was able to have me take an elevator to the top of the Acropolis! I would never have thought that was an option but it was and it was a glass elevator that faced the entire city. Once we left Athens, the plan was exactly what we wanted and having everything set up and prepared for us worked exactly as planned. Our favorite place to stay was Mazaraki Guesthouse. It was an unexpected gem that we loved! Also on our last night, I requested staying in a place with an Acropolis view from our room and we were not disappointed staying at Herodion Hotel. We were able to sit in the hot tub on the roof and enjoy looking at the Acropolis above. It was amazing. The only thing I regretted, and this was my decision, was to not have a guide at each historic site. We only used the Archaeologist on some of the sites and skipped others to save some money. That was a big mistake. I highly recommend having a guide at each site so you learn the rich culture and insight rather than feeling like this is just another castle or ruins. I highly recommend using the experience and knowledge KimKim offers. We did rent a car and drove ourselves around. It was easy to drive and follow our maps app. Drivers in Greece are a little risk takers when passing on the highways but nothing that we couldn't handle. There were a few times going up to the different sites was a bit scary as there was no shoulder or barrier on the cliff side but all in all I would recommend driving yourself to have the added freedom to stop along the way.

Least favorite hotel on our trip. The location is great a short walk to be in town and great places to go to eat. My problem was the bed. It was horrible and I didn't sleep the entire night. I was so uncomfortable I tried to sleep in the plastic chair and that obviously didn't work so I suffered all night long. I literally laid there in tears. It was a shame because it was the last night of our road trip and I really needed to sleep.

She had a number of phone calls with us beforehand to make sure we were crafting the perefect trip that included everything we wanted. Our trip included several different desitnations (island hopping in greece) packed into a short amount of time. It was not simple to plan and we were very impressed with the seamlessness of all of the travel logistics, airport pickups, hotel bookings, etc. Rebecca was incredibly responsive throughout the entire trip for questions about anything that came up and she was a pleasure to work and communicate with.

Absolutely would reccomend to anyone considering using KimKim/Rebecca for a trip to Greece or elsewhere! We will certainly be doing so again in the future!

I think an extra day there with splitting up the e-bike and catamaran tours so we could relax one more day there would have been nice. We were disappointed that once we were finally able to relax and wind down in Paros that our hotel didn’t have a pool. We did find the beach-Monisteri based on our guides recomendation and that was very nice. We also really enjoyed the wine tour in Santorini and worked in another wine tour in Paros at Moraitis that was excellent!

I would say that in 7 days of planning we had an excellent introduction to culture and life in Greece. We loved it and will come again!

Skala Kefalonia,

Nice hotel but very hands off. Reception is only available from 9-5 so if you plan to show up after that time, or need something you will have a problem. We arrived at 730pm and had to get another guest to let us into the building, and our keys were sitting at reception. Breakfast is at the restaurant next door and was good. You order off the menu. Our room was nice, the A/C worked well and there was a small sink and dishes available. We had a balcony with a nice view. Our only complaint is that the shower/bathroom is very small.

Our planner, Rebecca at GrecianLux, was fantastic from my first outreach nearly 18 months prior to our trip until the very last day of our travel home. As first-time travelers to Greece and planning for a family of 8, I needed a lot of guidance. She provided advice and options that were based on her actual experiences and she was patient as we went through multiple trip plans. Once we were in Greece, the detailed planning paid off. Our transfers between islands (SeaJet Ferry is unlike any ferry in the US!) and while on island (clean Mercedes vans) were seamless. Each of our tours were top notch with the best guides (George - Athens Food Tour, Giannis Antetokounmpo Sepolia Tour, Athens Riviera Day; Nicolas - Acropolis at Sunset; Theo - Athens Twilight Tour; Catamaran Trip in Naxos; Kostis - Santorini Agronomy and Wine Tour; Vassilis and Katarina - Santorini E-Bike Tour), food (Greek Salads, Souvlaki, Moussaka, Gyros, everything is fresh and delicious) and hidden gems (rooftop bars, special mini-markets, an underground wine cellar in Santorini). Our hotels were beautiful (Elia Armou in Athens, Liana Beach Hotel (with service on the beach!) in Naxos, and Hotel Agali Houses (these views, the butler service - all amazing) in Santorini and perfectly tailored for the needs of our family and preferences. We were so glad that Rebecca had strongly recommended the Fira to Oia self-guided hike. It was windy, hilly, long and moderately more than we expected...but it was so worth it! Rebecca provided 24-hour concierge service helping with dinner reservations to a last-minute outing for us after a sunset sail was canceled due to high winds. That outing ended up being a trip highlight for our family. All in all, the trip was a 10 out of 10 and it is highly attributable to the efforts of Rebecca!

Liana Beach Hotel & Spa
Naxos

Liana Beach Hotel is a beautiful boutique beach hotel located across the street from a gorgeous beach. The rooms are spacious and clean - each of our 3 rooms had small hot tubs on the balconies overlooking the courtyard and beach. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is fresh and delicious. We especially loved the beach chairs and private service reserved only for hotel guests on the beach. Tony (Tonino) was our excellent and kind beach server each day. He anticipated what we wanted and was always nearby. The pool area is also fantastic and typically where we would find ourselves after coming back over from the beach. The hotel is a very short walk either direction to restaurants, bars, mini-markets, laundry, etc. Well-appointed and located place we hope to return to someday!

Agali Houses Santorini
Firostefani, Santorini

Agali Houses is SO PRETTY! It is located on the beautiful Santorin cliffside overlooking the Caldera. Upon arrival, we were amazed by the tenacity of the butlers who met us at our van and toted our nearly 50 lb suitcases, 2-3 at a time, down the stairs to the hotel. We had many experiences in Santorini where we felt in lesser shape than our Greek friends but that fantastic service in particular we have discussed many times. Upon check-in, we were shown our rooms (3 rooms for 8 travelers). Beautifully decorated, very clean and all with private patios/balconies. The pool with the bar area was a hot spot but because Agali Houses is a boutique hotel, it was never too busy and we got to see some of the same people both there an at breakfast, which deserves its own review! Breakfast is served daily, included in the room rate and you can sit inside a beautiful and quaint dining area or outside overlooking the Caldera. Everything was very fresh and the staff kept it stocked and super clean. Fresh Greek yogurt with local honey alongside fresh melon was my daily favorite. Concierge was happy to help with any request and had great ideas for dinner. A walk up the hill and you have access to bars, restaurants ranging from street food to fine dining and mini-markets. Location was excellent and enabled us to go to Oia or to Fira and the southern part of the island with relative ease (it is a busy island!).

Vassilis and Katarina were such great guides, helpers, trainers and supporters! The E-Bikes are AWESOME. We did 13+ miles and got to tour, learn about and see so many beautiful areas...not to mention we stopped for wine and snacks midway through! Vassilis also took photos along the way and created a video of our family of 8, which he air-dropped to me within 10 minutes of our return. He must moonlight as a photographer, because the photos and video are quality work. We finished off our time chilling out at the black sand beach in front of the bike shop. They have a very cool location and set up. This is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

George outdid himself. Since this was a specially requested tour by us, George spent a week prior to our arrival doing research on Giannis's time in Sepolia. He showed us Giannis's court, but then took us on a walk to go by Giannis's childhood home, to the cafe that Giannis used to visit coming to or from the court and introducing us to the owner, Katie, who had lots of regalia in the cafe showcasing the success of a young man she knew long before he was famous. Then we saw some of the local schools that Giannis attended. My sons were over the moon and couldn't believe that they got to learn so much about their very talented and endearing sports hero! George really put in the work on this one and we sure appreciate it!!!

Rina Cave has the prettiest water we have ever seen and we are well traveled! The trip was great overall including the food - fresh Moussaka for lunch! Staff was very adept and they played the coolest music that we heard on the trip.
