Inspirience

We had wonderful guides in Cordoba and Grenada. Unfortunately our guide for the White Villages and Rhonda was a tremendous disappointment and the only negative of the trip. Beatriz was excellent in providing us with train tickets , museum tickets etc and quickly responded to any concerns before and during our trip.

Our trip to Spain was wonderful, from start to finish. Beatriz (Bea) helped us plan an amazing itinerary based on our preferences, which allowed for a combination of traditional site seeing along with some adventure. We visited Madrid and Barcelona over the course of 7 days, and did day trips from each of the cities to Toledo and Girona. There was so much history to learn and beautiful architecture to see in all of the cities. Not to mention the delicious food and drinks!

Bea was available whenever we needed her to answer our questions, and all of the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The entire trip felt seamless. We would love to go again and visit more of the country. We would definitely use kimkim again ... it was well worth it :)

We took an 11 day trip to Basque Country in Spain. Bea (Beatriz Lopez Diaz) set up the trip for us and did a fantastic job! We received Bea’s initial proposal, with our request to focus on food & wine and historic sites, and after a couple of minor changes, had our final agenda in hand. We flew into Bilbao where we stayed for a couple of days and then spent the rest of the trip in San Sebastián. We had an initial delay to the trip with our international flight from Detroit being cancelled. Bea worked with us to notify the hotel and car service of our new arrival and the arrangements were seamless. We had two pintxos tours, one in each city, and the guides (Jose and Veronica) were magnificent with detailed knowledge of the areas and what each pintxo bar’s specialty was. The food and wine were simply amazing. We had a one day tour through Rioja with Dani and he took us to two outstanding wineries, Tritium and Ostatu. Again his knowledge of the area and Rioja wines were second to none. We also took two day trips to some small towns in northern Spain (Hondarribia, San Juan, and San Pedro) and southern France (Bayonne, Biarritz, and St. Jean de Luz) and saw some beautiful historic churches and had some fantastic views of the ocean. On our free day we took a tour of the Ameztoi txakoli winery with some friends who happened to be visiting at the same time and had a blast eating good food and drinking good wine. We finished the trip off with a fish cooking class at Mimo Bite the Experience- we worked with one of the chefs and took a market tour as well as prepared multiple dishes including whole monkfish. Super fun.

All in all, we had a great trip and a huge part of that was working with Bea at kimkim. My wife has a food allergy and Bea made sure there were gluten-free accommodations made for each activity. We were thoroughly impressed with Bea’s customer service and would highly recommend her if you are planning a trip to Spain. Thank you Bea!
