Our 8-day trip to Switzerland was awesome. Through their local travel partner, the kimkim team pulled together a great itinerary that hit many of the must-see spots in the country (and in Switzerland, it's hard to go wrong because every site / sight is postcard worthy). Their very detailed itinerary worked perfectly, and allowed us to be in charge of our destiny every day...we really liked that. In addition to specific planned activities, kimkim provided suggestions for a range of other activities and restaurants in each destination...really helpful.

With one exception, the hotels they selected were terrific, especially the more authentic ones in Grindelwald (Romantik Hotel Schweizerhof) and Zeramatt (Hotel Alpenhof). That said, our first hotel in Zurich was terrible...far from the 5-star we requested (we'll take some of the hit on this hotel because prior to travel we didn't dive into guest reviews...if we had we would have said something).

The highlight of the tour was a 6-hour E-bike tour with a group called Flying Wheels in Interlaken. The bikes were top notch, the route we rode was stunningly beautiful, and our guide George (so much fun and so knowledgeable about Switzerland) was the very best. The other star of the show was our 8-day Swiss Rail Pass...we had unlimited use of the country's outstanding rail system that is the best we've ever experienced.

Even though our trip went off without a hitch, here's a small suggestion...it might be nice for the local tour operator to check in on their guests mid-trip. We had a 24-hour emergency contact number and never felt exposed but that human touch is always good.

Swiss Travel Pass

Switzerland

The Swiss Rail Pass is simply outstanding, Their app is one of the best we've used (super easy and informative) and the country's rail system is better yet.

Quality of Experience

Our trip to Denmark and Switzerland was great! Some of the memorable parts of our stay in Copenhagen were taking a boat trip to some out of the beaten path places, checking out the oldest bakery in that city, visiting Rosenborg Castle and having dinner in Nyhavn. The next town we visited was Lucern in Switzerland and there we had the opportunity to take a ferry over gorgeous lake Lucern to a cog-rail train station and from there to Mount Rigi which had amazing views of the lakes below! We also had the best gelato on the promenade by the river and listened to some awesome jazz at the World Band Festival that was taking place there at the time. Not to be missed is the Lucern Museum of Transport. In our next city, Bern, we visited the beautiful Bern Cathedral where the organ was being played by one of several world class musicians who come to Bern just to play on this organ, magical! We also loved the collections being shown at the Bern Art Museum! The Paul Klee museum was also amazing if you’re into art! So all in all this was again a fantastic trip thanks to the Kim Kim team and especially Valentine, who was our trip coordinator.

The whole place was super clean! The reason for the 4 stars is that the beds were not very comfortable. They sagged a bit in the middle.

Copenhagen Introduction Walking Tour

Copenhagen

I’m sure this must have been a great tour but we got totally lost on our way to the meeting point and were too late to catch up with the group.

Very nice trip. All guides were very good.

Sam in Munich with Oktoberfest. Mark who guided castle tour. Kevin who toured us through Rothenberg. Our favorite was Niklas who was a fill in in Nuremberg and did a phenomenal job, and Anias who lead us on the culinary tour of Brussels. Henry did a great job in Heidelberg

Assume history and KimKim did a great job setting everything up.

Definitely will use their service again in future.

Every guide we had was amazing! Working with Natalia was amazing! Everything was easy to plan and we were able to get into every pace we wanted! Hotel that was booked for us was great and were still able to go to the places that even though had been closed the day we are originally supposed to go.

Very well organized and well-thought out trip.

Hotel Bon Encontre in Sarlat was lovely, especially the owner Christine and her marvellous breakfasts. I might have preferred somewhere where one could get more meals than breakfast, but you can't have everything, and Christine did supply wine by the glass in the evenings.

Our guide in Sarlat, Benoit, was also excellent.

The entire trip was amazing and everyone I talk to I recommend Kimkim. Prague was great, the driver was excellent, the hotel right in the middle of it all. My brother and I walked around and enjoyed great beer and food, spent a day in Plsen at Paulaner, and saw lots of sights. The train to Salzburg next was great, and we loved the hotel there- and had an unplanned foray into a festival there that we actually attended both nights because it was so much fun (Ruperti Kirtag) and again, lots of amazing local festbiers! Then off to Munich for the grand finale at Oktoberfest. As it turned out there were friends in town who got us into a tent on the first day, but back to the trip plan, Allie and Fat Tire Tours were amazing and we celebrated in the famous Lowenbrau tent with again- amazing food and beer. I highly recommend getting Kimkim to put together an Oktoberfest tour for you!

The Trip was excellent, we had a wonderful time it was well organized.
Here are few specific notes

Oktoberfest Tour, in our itinerary and vouchers the tour was scheduled for 10AM, at the time I reached out to the provider directly the tour started at 10:30 AM. The guides were excellent and we had a great time, there seemed to be confusion on the time the tour started.

Hotel Restaurant Der Engel in Sasbachwalden: Hotel was great, there was some confusion they had us also reserved for dinner in their restaurant both nights, we did not attend dinner there. We thought it worth noting it included breakfast and dinner.

General note some hotels required reservations in advance for parking, it when driving it should be noted which hotels require paid or reserved parking.

Aside for these few notes I would say the trip was really great, we enjoyed all the guided tours and felt we were very well taken care of. We will return to Germany and look forward to our next Kim Kim travel plan in our future travels.

Best,
Edward Maar

The trip was well planned and customized to our specific needs and requests. The entire trip worked flawlessly in terms of travel passes, hotel bookings etc., In the one instance where there was an issue with the hotel in Bern not having received payment from KimKim, it was reported and handled immediately. We did not suffer any interruption. The Alpenhof hotel in Grindelwald was a particularly outstanding hotel in which to stay followed by Hotel Alpenblick in Zermatt and Hotel Adler in Zurich. All in all, a terrific experience. One area for improvement would be timely delivery of travel documents as promised originally but they came through in adequate time. Thanks to Valentine and Amandine for the arrangements. Switzerland is stunningly beautiful and we hope to return another time.
