Miski Travels

Overall it is an excellent trip. Airport pickup and drop off services were great, but there were some issues with hotel reservations. The hotels in Lima and Cusco booked 2 rooms with 4 travelers, but we had 5 travelers. KimKim was able to solve the issue immediately with minimal delay.
In detail:
The Posada Amazonas Lodge experience is excellent. All the people from Posada Amazonas are super friendly and helpful. We lost 1 luggage on the trip from Lima to Puerto Maldonado. The manager of Posada Amazonas was able to locate our luggage and deliver to the lodge the next day. Our guide, Freet, is very knowledgeable and accommodating.
In Cusco, our guide, Sonia, was very nice and experienced and took us to see many amazing places, from Machu Picchu to Rainbow Mountain. She provided great advice along the way and we learned a lot from her, especially the Inka history.

We had a great family trip to Peru! Kristy from KimKim helped us put together an excellent itinerary, which took us from Lima to the Sacred Valley, Cusco, and ultimately to the Amazon. The guides and drivers were awesome, and the logistics were seamless. We got to experience the fantastic cuisine, learn about Incan culture and see amazing wildlife.

Kristy helped us navigate a late change of dates and found an excellent activity last minute during a nine-hour layover at the Lima airport.

KimKim helped save me dozens of hours of planning and made the whole trip stress-free.

Kristy - organized a great itinerary based on our specific preferences. She was responsive if something went wrong during the trip.
Luis - very knowledgeable about the Amazon and very friendly
Fisher - took care of dietary needs for one of our travellers and made sure to ask about this first at any restaurant for us. Great guide and fun company on hikes. Knowledgeable about the history of Peru
Jose - very enthusiastic about Puño and made our day enjoyable. He accompanied us to the airport and made sure all was okay with our check in the day we departed.
Drivers - very friendly and we felt safe with all drivers

Great service. Need to be made aware of the fact that your room is completely open to the outside in addition to the bathroom. There was an animal that came into our room in the middle of the night which was scary. If you are into this, the go for it. It was still a good experience and we met lots of nice travellers there.

We did not see the birds doing the clay licks which was disappointing. We tried twice but were told that another location might have been more promising/guarunteed.

Táquile island was not worth the two hour boat ride there and back. It was very similar to things we had already seen and there was no significantly different activity there. Would rather have gone in the city or done a different activity.

Amazing experience! Did not feel like ten hours, lots of good entertainment and food. Service was great and the views were stunning

Kristy put together a fabulous itinerary taking into account many of the things my family group was looking for. Every pick up was on time, drivers were great and guides were fabulous! Enjoyed a phenomenal food tour in Lima with Carlos and a long but extremely enjoyable full day with our guide Mario, looking at wildlife in the Ballestas Islands, wine touring at the Tacoma Winery and Dune Buggying/SandBoarding at Huacachina.
Edy was our guide for four days in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu and by the end he was another member of our familia! We learned so much about Peru and it's Inca past and thoroughly enjoyed all of the breathtaking scenery of the Andes. As a guide Edy was phenomenal about keeping us on track, and moving us right through each travel destination seamlessly.
This is the fifth tour we've organized with KimKim and all have been excellent!

We were glad we switched the private cusco tour to the first day...

Otherwise trip was great and a good blend of personal and tour time!!

Many thanks for being flexible and working around schedule changes.

Thanks! Mariah

This was my first time using a travel agency and wow, I am so glad I did. This trip was incredible from beginning to end. This trip was meant to be an elopement/honeymoon and it did not disappoint. The trip was a perfect blend of adventure and enough time to relax in between. We feel like we got to be immersed in the culture, especially the Peruvian cuisine! Our tour guides could not have been more knowledgeable and kind. The food was absolutely incredible and very inexpensive (in comparison to USA prices). The Sacred Valley was breathtaking and our guide found us the perfect place in front of a mountain range to exchange our vows. Our hotels were all beautiful and the staff were all very attentive and hospitable, even allowing us to book massages the same day. The hotels also had wonderful restaurants within their facilities, especially at Antigua in Cusco. We ate there multiple times!
Our transportation was prompt, never a delay, and everyone communicated well throughout the trip. Any questions I had were quickly addressed by the Kim Kim team.
This is the best adventure my husband and I have ever been on. I would absolutely use Kim Kim services again to plan another trip. It was worth the price so that I didn't have to worry about transportation, lodging, tours, and restaurants.

We had a mostly great trip with a few little issues. Our hotels in Santiago and Buenos Aries were fantastic as was our private guide at Iguazu (Marcello). Johanna listened and understood what we were after in our trip.
Our transfers from our hotels to the airport were on-time with great communication from the drivers, however our airport transfers from Santiago and B.A. were poor (or non-existent in one case). Full credit to Kim Kim though, through Kristy who intervened straight away to assist us and provide instructions and reimbursement when required. It was good to know that when things didn’t quite go to plan that there was someone readily available who could assist.

Driver didn’t show. Our plane was early so we understood there may have been a wait. We had no communication from the driver and travel company and they did not respond to phone calls. We were still at the airport well after our plane arrived. Fortunately Kristy from Kim Kim assisted and we arranged a taxi and were reimbursed.

5 stars for our transport to the airport in Santiago. Our driver for early and provided great communication, however a poor experience at the airport in Buenos Aries. Whilst we had communication from the transport provider which was pleasing, it took a while to locate our driver outside the airport. Our transport was a taxi and the driver was too busy scrolling through his phone to look for us. (He scrolled through his phone for the whole drive). Unimpressed.

Another great experience with Marcello!

We really enjoyed the trip. Excited about what we saw, and in general, the amount of time that was allotted to each place.

I'd say a couple of adjustments that we might have made would be to make better use of the full day that we had in Lima. It was good that the kids were able to kind of chill out in the afternoon while I walked around, but it feels like there were some key things that we maybe could've seen or done while we were there. I didn't realize about the Lima catacombs and that was something that was spectacular until we had left. Should've done more research on that.

Also, for the Cusco leg of the trip, we spent probably too much time traversing substantial sections of the Sacred Valley. It seems like we spent 1.5-2 hours on that road four times, and that there probably was some other way that that could've been reduced if the planning were to be adjusted.

Lastly, I think we would've preferred to have another day in Arequipa, perhaps reducing one of the days in the middle on the Cusco leg as necessary. Perhaps visiting the Salt Lake or taking a rafting trip down the river would have ben nice, given the effort to reach Arequipa by air travel.

These are really just nitpicks as we did have a wonderful time, but just wanted to mention a few things it could be improved if you were planning a similar trip for another family in the future. Thank thank you again for your planning efforts!

Our recent trip was truly unforgettable, thanks to the exceptional service and attention to detail provided by everyone involved. Amelia from Cusi Travel was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely caring—her passion for sharing the culture and history of the region made every part of our journey more meaningful. Our driver, Alex, was equally impressive. He was always courteous, punctual, and attentive to our comfort and needs, ensuring we traveled safely and stress-free throughout.

We’re also deeply grateful to KimKim and their wonderful team, especially Johanna and Kristy, who handled all of our hotel and airfare arrangements with remarkable precision. Their meticulous planning and responsiveness made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Every detail, from accommodations to logistics, was perfectly executed.

We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a well-organized, enriching, and personalized travel experience.
