Mobee International

This trip was an A+! Valentine organized a wonderful itinerary to fit all our needs. Wine country with our guides/drivers Nicolas, Gills, Stephane, Emile, Rémy, Clementine, Charlie and Jerome were very knowledgeable and helpful. In Paris the guides were equally amazing including Mo, Karen, “G” and Ezelle.
I highly recommend this travel agency!

Amazing adaptability, catering and planning from our Kimkim specialist Lucie. Quick turnaround and really worked to ensure we got the itinerary we wanted. We didn't have a lot of guides on this one, but our private tour to Giethoorn was led by a champ. One of us was sick and he was very accommodating. Our private transfers to and from the airport were better than others we've had as well. Another memorable trip in the books!

Hotel Reviews

WestCord City Center Hotel

Amsterdam

Totally awesome location next to the main train station as well as a tram station right in front. Walking distance to a lot of the sights and sounds of Amsterdam. No amenities and not much in the room, but that is to be expected I suppose for the location. Staff were also quite friendly and accommodating.

Place seemed under-staffed although the existing staff were friendly. Pretty roomy. Main complaint is it overlooks a tiny public park where drunks and homeless gather at night and make a lot of noise. Walking distance from main train station and Cologne Cathedral though!

Can't really complain as long as you know what you're getting into. Decent priced in the heart of the city. No real breakfast. Get your own cups and coffee/tea pods from downstairs. Basic toiletries and in-room supplies. Check yourself in and out. But other than that quite clean and roomy. A/c worked well. Basic necessities at basic pricing.

Guide was knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. The guided tour gets you into a gated section near the altar. I recommend it.

Valentine was very thorough in her planning and understanding of what we wanted to accomplish on our trip. The yacht tour to Cap Taillat was very special with our captain and assistant very accommodating. The selection of the vineyards Valentine planned was exceptional.

Communication with Mathilde was very good start to finish. Michael our transport guru was good with text msgs so we knew what to expect. Our drivers all prompt & dependable. Sabastien in Paris went above & beyond to make sure we were safe & understood how train travel works in Europe. Emilee in Dijon had a very luxurious comfy car to pick us up in. Our hotels all had great locations, helpful staff; very nice breakfasts. Customers need to know that a sofa sleeper bed is not a good choice, if you can avoid it. Our e-bike trip in Beaune with Mathilda was a highlight. Highly recommend! Chateau de Pape & all day tour was all very good, but made for a very long day. The Pope’s palace in Avignon was not worth a visit IMO. More spectacular from the outside. Awesome location choices for our chocolate/pastry tour in Paris with R.T. Loved all the small shops she brought us to. I would choose a different guide though.

We can not say enough good about Mathilda our guide! So knowledgeable about the vineyards & the community. This was a highlight of our France trip. What an awesome activity~Peter made sure our bikes were right for us & we had what we needed b4 starting AND he sells wine at his bike shop?!? Love it! The bikes do have pañier bags on the back so no need for backpacks.

we have not used a travel agent/agency to plan a trip in the past and our experience with Valentine did not disappoint! Valentine did a fantastic job planning our trip - taking into account our preferences for hotels, tours, food, etc... she was easily able to pivot when we made some changes in our desired itinerary. Valentine has great attention to detail and the logistics were seamless. we had 1-2 questions while we were actually on the trip and got quick responses to our questions.

we spent 3 nights in Berlin and LOVED our private tours Caieren and Paul (one about WWII, other about Cold War). both guides were engaging and make our experience personal, we even stopped for coffee. The bunker story museum was also great. the DDR museum was a good experience. even though we had scheduled tours, we had enough downtime planned in that we were able to explore the city - we enjoyed the Disgusting Foods Musuem!

we spent 2 nights in Nuremberg - private Nazi grounds tour with guide, again, was great. we took a day trip to Rothenberg with a private guide, enjoyed the city and the tour - had a GREAT Italian meal. there is a LEGO store in the town that serves THE BEST coffee - tell Christian we sent you. again, we had some downtime, we rented Vag-Rad bikes and biked to Imperial Castle in Nuremberg

loved that our guides met us at the hotel, made it very easy.

we spent 2 nights in Munich - we did a group tour - did not love the group tour (25 people), we had been spoiled with the private tours. from Munich, we took group day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle. OMG!! you must hike to Mary's Bridge for the view of the castle - hike is steep but, short and totally doable - don't take the horses or bus straight to the castle, you will miss Mary's Bridge. the company that organized the tour was good, professional and kept things running smoothly. bus was comfortable.

cannot wait to use Valentine again! highly recommend. easy planning and great trip!

Mathilde helped us plan a wonderful trip to Zurich, Bavaria, and Munich.

Hotels were nice, clean, comfy, with excellent included breakfasts. We enjoyed our trip from Zurich to the Black Forest of Germany with Sergio very much. The Lindt Chocolate factory tour was also a highlight. Le D'ezaley and Swiss Chuchi were two very good meals in Zurich, both recommended by Mathilde.

Then we moved on to Lindau, Fussen, and Neuschwanstein Castle with our tour guide, Paul. The Castle was unforgettable in the snow.

After traveling by train to Munich, Mathilde's driver was awaiting our arrival and took us to our hotel and then to the Viktualienmarkt for our food tour with Kevin. He was fantastic!

Finally, our tour of FC Bayern Munich's Allianz Stadium was a highlight for our children while later that day, enjoying a liter of beer at Augustiner Keller was a highlight for me.

Thank you, Mathilde for planning a wonderful trip to an area of the world that I did not know much about. Initially, I had some reservations about hiring KimKim and Mathilde, but everything was smooth and well organized and I would use them again without hesitation.

A very enjoyable trip. The right balance of free time and scheduled activities. Germany is a beautiful country.

Breakfast was included but underwhelming - cold cuts a bit discolored (as though they had been out the day prior).
