It's taken me a week to recover from my vacation, but it was worth every moment.

We were well taken care of by the Jess and the KimKim team during set up. All of our guides and drivers in Peru with the were incredible and punctual as hell. If our flight changed numbers before we arrived, we were contacted. When it seemed a guide was running late, we had three different people in correspondence with us over it, and still got where we were going in great time.

Biggest shout outs to Daniel at SkyLodge/Ziplining and Edwin from our Machu Picchu/Aztek Trail trips for openly keeping my 70 year old father alive doing activities that may have been outside his capabilities. All guides made sure he still got an incredible experience and they took incredible care of all of us. Adjustments were made and we're grateful for every single second.

Word to the wise, the Ziplining/Via Ferrata has a child climbing on its website, which I think deceived us as to the intensity of this hike. This was a next-level climb up a mountain. Vertical cliffs, metal bars, a "bridge" that was two cords over a valley. We were caught a little off guard, but that's on us for not doing a deeper research dive on the hike.

I could have spent days just at the Mountain View lodge and restaurant.

And finally, I can't go without mentioning that my guides, Miracle and Edwin got a CAKE UP TO THE TOP OF A GLACIER LAKE for me for my 39th Birthday. Incredibly special and grateful for all the special touches.

Thanks to everyone. Can I go back now?

Just returned from a 10 day trip to Peru. Jessica at Kim Kim was amazing throughout the booking process and all the way along. She was very attentive to our numerous questions and had great suggestions for hotels and timing of the entire trip.

We did the Cusco City Tour, the 4 day Inca Trail trek, Sacred Valley Tour and Rainbow Mountain hike. Edy was our local guide throughout and was fantastic- personable, kind, always prompt, and very knowledgeable. Edwin was our chef for the trick - unbelievable what he was able to cook while camping and our 9 Quechuas (porters) were all super sweet. It is incredible what they carry and how they run the trails.

The trek is challenging - but very doable if you are in shape. We only did a little bit of training - and oh, the views!!Spectacular - especially the view of Machu Pichu from the Sun Gate. And our last camp site was up high in the mountains - just gorgeous.

Rainbow Mountain is touristy - but really not that bad. We had reservations about how touristy it would be but the hike and views from the summit are well worth it. OUr drive was 2.5 hours there from Cusco and 3.5 hours back (traffic in Cusco is heavier at the end of the day). They break it up with breakfast on the way there and lunch on the way home so it didn’t seem that long.

I would highly recommend Peru for both a cultural and a hiking experience. We had no troubles at all with any political protests and felt safe the entire time - even walking in Cusco at night.

Bolivian Dream Vacation:
Johanna helped create for us a detailed and individualized vacation that suited our interests and time constraints during our April visit to Bolivia. She was easy to communicate with and tried very hard to include as many of our wishes as was feasible. This was not an easy task, since we wanted to see everything but only had a week to devote to our travels. Johanna and Kristy were both available to us during our trip through WhatsApp for any last minute questions or problems, but overall our trip was flawless. Everything flowed smoothly and we experienced no issues.
We started our guided tour in La Paz, seeing all the highlights of the city. The next day we were off in the direction of lake Titicaca with a side trip to Tiwanaku where we marveled at the ruins from this pre-Inca civilization. Next was lake Titicaca where we took boat trips around the lake to the Sun and Moon islands. We were offered and enjoyed a traditional Inca lunch that included trout from the lake and rehydrated potatoes. Our trip then brought us back to La Paz where we took a flight to Uyuni. We visited the salt flats, the red and green lagoons and saw many scenic views along the way. We saw Llama, alpaca, vicuña, viscacha-wild Andean rabbit, emu, wild donkeys, fox and flamingos. While everything was absolutely stunning, I think I can say with out exception the salt flats was the highlight of our trip. As the views were breathtaking. Marisol, our tour guide, educated us on geology, history, culture, food, and more. She was very attentive and remained flexible. She also helped us take fun pictures with a green dinosaur and interactive photographs on a reflective lake. We were able to enjoy both a secluded picturesque lunch on the salt flats and a memorable sunset drink in a salt lake.
Marisol was with us for our entire trip and was an invaluable resource. She imparted the history and geology of the various sights we visited and included many fun facts that made listening pleasurable. She and Samwel were there to greet us when we arrived at 7 am and with us at 3 am at the end when we passed into the customs when we left Bolivia. Both Samwel, our driver in La Paz , and Ever, our driver in Uyuni, were amazing and present on all of our adventures. They drove us for many hours covering vast and varied terrains from salt flats to bumpy paved and unpaved roads. We felt safe in their hands and they were pleasant to be with.
There is only one thing I would change and that would be listening to the warnings of the altitude sickness. Having come directly from sea level by plane to La Paz we had little time to acclimatize, pre planning with meds and excersise would have been helpful. Having said that Marisol and all the personal including staff at the hotels were ready to help. We were able to get oxygen delivered to our room on one occasion when we felt we needed it, without charge. This did not stop us from hiking up and down hills , enjoying lavish sometimes Michelin rated meals and taking exceptional pictures.

We have travelled extensively and never had such amazing tour guides or such efficient use of our time away. Johanna was amazing when we needed to postpone making our decision about travel in Peru given the recent political instability and our home countries travel restrictions limiting our access to insurance and sense of safety. She allowed us to take extra time with our decision, we were so grateful we went ahead with our trip. Everyone we met along the way share how happy they are to have tourist back in their country, they shared their struggles with the impact of the Pandemic, followed by the impact on the tourist economy of the recent political unrest. For our entire journey we felt safe, secure, and thrilled to be travelling in such an interesting country, meeting so many locals who welcomed us with open arms.

We had a lovely time during our trip! Jessica was very patient with our indecisiveness considering the protests situation in Peru and provided us with periodic updates on the situation proactively.
Our guide Edy was exceptional- we were very fortunate to have him during the trip, our trip wouldn’t be the same without him.

I decided to try kimkim because there many different elements of travelling to Argentina that I wanted to combine, including a focus on seeing Orcas in the Valdes Peninsula, which has long been a dream of mine. Without the specialized and in-depth advice from Francesca and her team I would never have been able to plan this trip myself- or at the very least not without investing weeks of research! She was always super responsive (even going beyond the call of duty in answering smaller questions and offering tips) and her suggestions were completely spot on regarding tours and activities. During the trip, everything was organised seemlessly, with all trips/drivers/reservations having been planned perfectly. I have already recommended kimkim to friends and family, and can only do the same here!

Hilton

Very central
Staff
Cleanliness & Comfort
It was fine because we were in an executive room with access to the lounge, otherwise the room facilities (coffee/tea etc) would not be acceptable
Lagos Del Calafate
El Calafate

The staff is friendly and helpful, apart from the night receptionist who kept disappearing and was not available when we had to find someone to help us to quieten the groups hanging around the reception at 1am (we had to be up at 6am). The standard of the facilities is more 3 star and I do not recommend eating dinner there. Also, ensure you do not have a room near the dining hall because it is so loud you cant get a good nights sleep.

Alto Andino Hotel
Ushuaia

Excellent room and hotel! Staff goes above and beyond the call of duty and the breakfast is good too.

It is drfinitely the best ootion in the area. The homemade breakfast brought to the room is a lovely touch. But it really needs a coat of paint as well as the heating and water pressure/temp fixed- we were cold most of our stay.

We were suprised at the price for what was effectively a 10minute walk amongst penguins. We were only told any information when we asked questions. The food was also a little disappointing. Also, there seems to have been a mix-up with the payment, which we havr the suspicion was in purpose to get us to pay for everything twice.

"I had the pleasure of working with Johanna and Kristy to plan our group’s recent trip and I cannot recommend their services highly enough! From start to finish, my experience with Johanna and Kristy was exceptional. Their dedication and hard work truly demonstrated when we had to change our destination location in an unexpected turn of events. It is no small feat to rebook flights, hotels, tours, restaurants, and activities to a group of 68 people!!!

It started with a simple planned trip for a week to Peru. From the very beginning, Johanna was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. She took the time to really understand what we were looking for in a vacation, and was able to suggest customized itinerary and activities that perfectly matched all our group’s preferences.
But due to unforeseen situations in Peru, we decided to change our trip to Chile for the same dates. Johanna and Kristy quickly pivoted to understand our requirements and spent countless hours to co-ordinate with airlines travel agency and crafted detailed itineraries and recommendations for the trip.

What impressed the entire group was their outstanding customer service when they accompanied us in person throughout the trip, to ensure there were no hiccups every step of the way. They truly cared about making sure that each and every one of us had an amazing trip, and were always available to help with any issues or questions that came up along the way. We felt like we had a personal concierge service throughout our entire vacation!

Overall, I cannot recommend KimKim, especially Kristy and Johanna highly enough. They are a true professional in their field, and their commitment to customer service is second to none. If you're looking for a travel agent who will go above and beyond to make sure that you have an unforgettable trip, Johanna and Kristy are the one for you!"

I would like to thank Kimkim and Kristy especially to make our trip a reality. We were booked to travel to Peru in December but had a last minute cancellation due to political unrest in Peru. However, Kristy was able to create our itinerary within a week for Galapagos, Amazon Rainforest and Ecuador that enabled us to keep our travel dates. We spent 4 nights in Galapagos, 3 nights in the Napo Wildlife Center and 4 nights in Quito most of which were due to transit and travel. We visited 2 islands in Galapagos - Santa Cruz and La Isabela. Santa Cruz is populated and had a feel of a touristy beach town, La Isabela was beautiful and remote. Our hotel was right on the beach and we were able to find some time to relax and enjoy the scenery. Most of the days start early at 6 or 6.30am with guided tours or travel logistics between Islands or to and from Quito. Our guides were very proficient about the local wildlife, flora and fauna. Kids enjoyed snorkeling, we toured lava caves apart from visiting the Tortoises, Iguanas and Sea Lions that are in abundance. My favorite part of the vacation was the Napo Wildlife center that required a 2.5hr motor boat ride from Coca to the cultural center and then a 2hr paddle boat ride to the Wildlife center. The hiking in the rainforest, watching caimans, giant otters, macaws, rainforest canopy were an experience of a lifetime. Thanks to all our guides, especially Jose in the Napo wildlife center to make our trip an unforgettable experience!

Francesca and her team really shined when our Peru trip had to abruptly be changed. Due to a presidential coup and a state of emergency, we had to cancel our Machu Picchu plans and quickly figure out a new itinerary. Francesca jumped in and did her best to secure refunds for the Peru services that were cancelled and then was very helpful in securing new logistics and plans for a trip to Mexico instead...all on very short notice and during peak Xmas season.

Many thanks to Francesca, her local agency team and Kimkim!
