I will mention that if you are driving to a castle or cave system (especially Punkva Caves where you need to take gondola or walk 1.7km) that the parking was often not next to the attraction and it took 15 to 30 minutes to get to tour start points.

The trip was fantastic. All the hotels we stayed in were very nice. I will mention that if you are driving to a castle or cave system (especially Punkva Caves where you need to take gondola or walk 1.7km) that the parking was often not next to the attraction and it took 15 to 30 minutes to get to tour start points.

Going through our itinerary:

Prague is very walkable and public transport easy to access. The city itself is very nice with lots to see and do. Driving is not difficult with phone's gps directing the way and the drivers were extremely courteous compared to my local drivers. We did a half day vegetarian culinary/history tour which was excellent. This was more history with stops to a beginning snack, lunch, then dessert. Our guide was Gary and he showed us things that we likely would never of found on our own. Well worth it.

The day trip to Bohemian-Saxon National park was about a 2 hour drive each way but well worth it for the hike and the view.

Few hour drive to Cesky Krumlov with stops along the way. Konepruske Caves were not far from Prague. If you are going to only want to do one set of caves, the Punkva caves are better experience but further from Prague. Either way be forewarned that the tours are in Czech. Karlstejn Castle (also no far from Prague) tour was very good and full of information. Free parking can be found by the Karlstejn train station which is about 25 minute walk to castle. From here about 2 hour drive to Cesky Krumlov.

Cesky Krumlov is a very nice town. Easy to walk around. We did a tour of the Baroque Theatre which is one of two left in Europe. Very interesting with explanation of the theatre and even got to see the machinery that was used to change to scenery on the stage. If you are vegetarian and visiting Cesky Krumlov you should definitely eat at Laibon as food was delicious and you sit riverside to eat. Also David (server, owner) is just an exceptional person. Fun to talk to and made several suggestion of what we should see. We did a raft tour which went over some of the history of the town and was a nice experience.

Next was drive to Olomouc with several stops. We did go off itinerary and stopped at Pernstejn Castle (David recommended). While we did not have time to do a tour, we did walk around the courtyards and through the gardens which was well worth it. Then onto the Punkva caves and into Olomouc. We did stay just outside of town so did have to drive to get to the city for site seeing. We only had an evening here so just walked around town and saw the architecture and parks.

On way back to Prague we stopped at Kutna Hora for a tour of the towns several churches and the Bone Chappel. Very interesting tour and likely something that you will not see anywhere else. If you are in Prague, it is without question worth a day trip for this tour.

Overall a great trip.

Hi Tara,

Thank you so much for your wonderful and thorough review! I'm truly glad to hear that you and your family had a fantastic time exploring the Czech Republic.

It’s great to know the hotels met your expectations, and I appreciate your note about the parking situations at some of the attractions—this kind of insight is incredibly helpful for future travelers and will certainly be passed along as we continue refining our itineraries.

I’m especially happy that your food and history tour with Gary stood out—it sounds like a memorable experience. Also, your mention of David at Laibon and your rafting tour in Cesky Krumlov made me smile—it’s these personal touches that make a journey truly special.

Thank you for sharing your tips and observations on the cave systems, castles, and scenic towns. I’m glad the itinerary gave you the flexibility to explore additional sites like Pernštejn Castle and that the travel distances worked out comfortably for your family.

It was a pleasure helping you plan this trip, and I hope we’ll get the chance to work together again for your next European adventure!

I recently used Kamilla and her company for a trip and overall had a very positive experience. From the start, they were extremely responsive — every question I had was answered promptly and thoroughly, which gave me a lot of confidence heading into the trip. I also really appreciated the pre-trip meeting, where they walked us through the full itinerary and made sure we had all the key information we needed.

Throughout the trip, they stayed in touch and checked in on us regularly, which was a really nice touch. It made the whole experience feel personal and well-supported. They were well-organized, and I especially liked that they offered to make reservations and even had day-of restaurant suggestions ready to go — that kind of service definitely took some of the pressure off.

The only thing I wish had been a little better was having more details about the tour guides we were meeting ahead of time but I am just an a bit over the top when it comes to planning. While everything ended up running smoothly and working out great, having that info ahead of time would have put my mind at rest.

Shout out to Marius, our hiking tour guide from Mountain Mountains. He was amazing!!

That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and follow-through really stood out and made for a memorable trip.

Clemens and the Kimkim team was incredible from start to finish. I primarily worked with Clemens on setting up the trip. He was wonderful in making suggestions and allowed us to make many revisions.
As we approached the trip we worked with Andrew and Kamilla. They provided a video and helped with how to use the trip planner. We also were given their contact info to use if needed.
Their planning was fabulous. Everything was just as it should have been. When we had questions they answered them. They also helped during the trip when issues arose and fixed them immediately.
I would recommend Clemens and the team without hesitation. They were exceptional. Our trip was amazing and the hotels and excursions they chose for us were top notch!!

This hotel was nice. The staff were helpful. There was parking on site with a car elevator which was fun. It was accessible by subway to the city center. There was not a lot that was within walking distance that was touristy and we were tourists so we had to travel by train to do what we were there to do. It was in the nice Schwarbing neighborhood and there were restaurants and shops everywhere. We felt safe at this hotel. There was a problem with our original hotel so we were changed to this one last minute. It was more modern. Room was not large but it was clean and comfortable.

This was a clean and historic hotel. It was nice. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was top notch. It was close to everything and we were easily able to walk to everything we wanted to see and return to our hotel if needed. The room was a nice size. There are no amenities at this hotel which was a departure from all others we stayed at. Just a lobby and a front desk. That was somewhat disappointing to us. One thing that was sort of strange is they there is a Chinese restaurant below the hotel where our room was and the smell filled our room. It was pretty bad when we got there but got better over time. The only thing we did not care for here was the parking. They did not have parking. They did provide a discount at a nearby garage but it was the most expensive of our trip.

Your entire team were so easy to communicate with, that was really great customer service. I think our most favorite part was staying at the adorable small hotel in Zakopane. What a beautiful place.

Dear Frances,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations and that you left feeling disappointed — that is never the experience we want any of our guests to have.

I want to sincerely apologize if there was any lapse in communication or if we missed an opportunity to make your stay more enjoyable. Had I known you were feeling this way, I would have done everything I could to make it right during your visit.

I did offer to change your room as soon as another became available, though I completely respect your decision to stay where you were. I also made the coffee house visit complimentary as a gesture of goodwill and checked in with you regularly to ensure everything was going smoothly. I'm truly sorry if these efforts didn’t come through or meet your expectations.

Please know that your comfort and satisfaction are very important to me, and I only wish we had known more clearly at the time how you were feeling. Still I am happy you liked most of your experiences and the Vienna part :)

Your feedback is invaluable, and I will be sure to share it with our team so we can continue to improve. I would love the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the experience you rightfully expected and deserve.

We wish you all the best, Kamilla

Clemens planned a beautiful tour of Germany for our family. We spent 8 days traveling between Munich, Nuremberg, Frankfort and Berlin. Our favorite tours were the castle tours with Pedro, the food tour of Berlin with Alex and the Nuremberg tour with Kurt. All of the guides were very knowledgeable and the country that we saw is beautiful!
The only thing that I would change with the time we had was to reduce the number of cities by one. It was a lot to be hopping on a train every day or every other day. But, otherwise, great trip!
