Effortless Switzerland

Overall the trip was exceedingly well planned and the hotel accommodations and in-country travel were excellent. The van drivers were all very helpful, punctual and patient, even when we were delayed getting into the country upon arrival. We loved our hotels and they were ideally located with great services. The tours that were booked provided the right level of engagement and relaxation. I would also like to call out Grizzy the guide who accompanied us on our hiking trip to Lauterbrunnen. She was an exceptional guide in that we had two very different goals. Part of our group wanted a very easy stroll why my sons wanted to do more strenuous hiking. She was able to satisfy both our needs with ease. She was very knowledgeable but not overbearing and provided information far beyond what we needed for the day. She's a treasure!

The other pleasant surprise was the "Fondue in a Backpack". I had moderate expectations for this and thought the whole idea to be a bit trite. However, it turned out to be one of the memorable events as we had very good fondue along the shores of Lake Thunersee on a beautiful summer day in Interlaken.

This was the first time my family traveled with a child (one-year old) but the quality of the accommodations and the thoroughness in transportation planning made it very stress free. I would recommend Kimkim to my friends because of the in-country support you have while traveling and the local insight our travel agents provided while we planned the trip.

Thank you, Brent

We provided our interests and KimKim did the rest. With our busy schedules, it was nice to have KimKim do the heavy lifting.

We were impressed by their accommodation selections and recommendations for where we should travel in Switzerland. For example, we hadn't considered Montreaux, but were so happy we got to spend time there. The contrast of the Swiss German side to the Swiss French side of Switzerland was a fun way to see Switzerland. KimKim made the experience so easy with our vouchers for everything and the service providers were clearly vetted. We can not recommend KimKim enough for those that are looking for ease when planning a trip as you'll have the perfect balance of individual exploration time and planned activities.

Hotel Reviews
Matthiol Boutique Hotel
Zermatt

We liked the size of this hotel and the location of this hotel. We liked being far away from town as it was peaceful at night with the windows option and the centralized location to trails for hiking. The morning view of the Matterhorn was amazing. Additionally, the spa room with the sauna was heavenly.

Authenticity & Character
Location
While we felt this hotel was amazing, travelers might find it far away from town. The electric shuttle is only offered to/from the train station when you arrive and leave. You otherwise need to walk everywhere in Zermatt which is roughly 20 minutes to/from town. That wasn't an issue for us and the view was 10/10, but I wanted to mention it. There is a bus you can take, but we opted to walk.
Staff
The staff were very helpful in the morning with my food allergy and ensured I had plenty of gluten free options which I appreciated.

Mona Montreux Hotel
Montreux

The view from our room of Lake Geneva was absolutely breathtaking. The hotel was centrally located to the train station and bus station, for ease. We found Montreaux very walkable with a number of fun restaurants. The hotel buffet could have been a bit stronger (quality wise), but I think we had high standards after our stay in Geneva and Zermatt. We opted for a local coffee shop and keep our buffet selection pretty basic each morning as a result. We enjoyed the hotel's location to the Fairmont for delicious evening meals (with a view!).

The quality of coffee could have been a bit better on the train ride in the morning, but aside from that, we were impressed by the train ride. We were initially worried it may be a bit toursity, but we embraced it. The cheese and chocolate factory tour were very informative. Seeing the countryside from the train was also fun. It was a great way to remain cool during the European heatwave and we learned a lot.

Her choices of smaller boutique hotels (Ameron in Lucern, Eiger Mountain and Soul Resort in Grindlewald, Zermama in Zermatt, and Grand Hotel Suisse in Montreux) were perfect in terms of location, comfort and ambience. This was a previously scheduled trip that we had to postpone for medical reasons and she tweaked our itinerary to fit in a panoramic train ride, and give us an extra night in Montreux which we loved. Chlothilde always responded to our questions promptly and her wonderful directions for train travel allowed us to move around Switzerland between towns, travel to excursions, and move around on our own with confidence. She is the best! All of our drivers and guides were terrific as well. George at Flying Wheels led a great ebike trek to Lauterbrunnen, and our afternoon with Mike at Gorgornat was tailored to our needs so that my husband managed to complete the hike despite recent back surgery. Our day with Emmanuel in Montreux was exceptional—all great choices! Thank you for a wonderful bucket-list vacation!

Our guide Emmanuel was one of the best guides we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The tour included a tour of a UNESCO site to see artisan cheese made by hand which we could then compare to a factory cheese production site The Cailler chocolate tour was very interactive and interesting . We also visited the Domaine du Daley winery with our host Felix who led a great tour of the winery cellars and provided excellent details of the wine production process during our tasting while seated on a beautiful terrace overlooking Lake Geneva. It was a great day!

Lauren in Cambo les Bains and Espelette was a great guide. Being Basque, she explained the culture and sites very well. She was very conscious of our time so we made our return train but we did not feel rushed. Vicky in Biarritz was marvelous. We immediately felt a connection and enjoyed our tour immensely. Wish it could have been longer. The Quality Hotel in Bordeaux for our last night was a great location but not very special. It was adequate. We did not have a room as pictured in their online site. The driver to the airport was punctual and a delight to talk with on our drive. Kimkim has again given us the trip we hoped for. Thank you.

We had an incredible trip to Paris and London! Justine provided an itinerary that gave us the perfect balance of privately guided tours, cultural experiences, and downtime to explore on our own. Our boutique hotels were located in beautiful areas that were walking distance to sightseeing, restaurants, and shopping. The drivers for our private transfers were professional and courteous. I would highly recommend KimKim and Justine in particular for any travel planning! I will go into detail below, providing names of individuals that deserve recognition and highlighting the wonderful experiences we had.

Day One: We checked into Hotel Parc Saint Severin! Ludovic welcomed us with champagne, ensured our comfort throughout our stay, and provided exceptional service. He helped us learn how to navigate the city and provided many recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing in the area. If we return to Paris, I will stay here again! Our first booked activity was a 2CV private car tour to explore Paris. I highly recommend this car tour as an introduction to Paris - we were able to see all of the Parisian highlights. It gave us a feel for where everything was located, gave us ideas for our free time and showed us areas we wanted to explore. The driver was knowledgeable and informative about the city. He was engaged in the history of this beautiful city and shared his excitement with us!

Day Two: We enjoyed a wine and cheese tasting in a Parisian cellar at Musee Vivant du fromage. This activity took us into a quaint Parisian neighborhood we would not have otherwise explored. We were able to taste a selection of French cheeses and wine and learn about the geographical regions of France.

Day Three: We began with a privately guided tour at the Louvre. This was the best way to explore the museum! Our guide Pat was booked through Toorers. She was fluent in English and loved the history of the museum. She was able to take us to unique parts of the Louvre - her ability to navigate the museum and show us the highlights, all while engaging us in the history of France, was incredible. We followed the Louvre with a walking tour of Montmartre guided by Mathias, also booked through Toorers. We are glad Justine encouraged us to explore this part of France as we might not have otherwise experienced this area. Mathias was very well informed and tied history to engaging stories as we walked this beautiful area and learned more about the country of France. Our tour ended at Moulin Rouge! What a fun experience and a great way to wrap up our day! A must see for anyone visiting Paris!! Justine booked us at the best table - we had front row seats to the show. The acrobatics and entertainment are unmatched! Our experience was wonderful - she reserved champagne with the meal and the service was exceptional.

Day Four: We had a macaron cooking class at La Cuisine de Paris - it was such a fun and cultural experience to make a favorite Parisian treat from scratch! We were sent home with plenty of macarons to enjoy for the rest of our trip. We then had free time to explore the city followed by our night time Seine River Cruise with dining. We arrived early to get daytime pictures near the Eiffel Tower before making our way to the river. This was a top favorite experience! We were able to see all of the historical buildings and museums from the river, while enjoying champagne, dinner, and live music. The food was delicious, service excellent, and Justine again booked us with a window table with the very best views! The cruise ended with us watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night!

Day Five: Gigi, our tour guide picked us up at our hotel for the drive to Giverny. He was an incredible conversationalist and the car time flew by as we talked about the country and history of France on our drive. He stopped at a quaint bakery on our drive for coffee and croissants - we loved the cafe so much that he stopped for us again on our drive back so we could have freshly baked bread and sandwiches for lunch. Monet's gardens were breathtaking. Gigi knew so much about the life of Monet that he made history come alive for us on the tour. We were in awe of the beauty and preservation of Monet's inspiration. Following this tour we drove to Versailles, still with Gigi. He did an excellent job navigating the grounds, bypassing the lines, and giving us historical stories and information about the beauty of Versailles and the surrounding gardens. We wrapped up the day by watching the sunset from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Paris is a beautiful city. We had such a wonderful time and would love to return.

Day Six: Transfer day! Again, our drivers were professional and timely. They helped with our luggage and took us right to where we needed to check in for our first class seats on the Eurostar. Justine took care of every detail for us. We checked into Montague On The Gardens for our stay in London. It is a beautiful hotel, a great location, and very attentive and helpful staff. Justine ensured that all of the stay included breakfast - which consisted of fresh bakery, eggs, a selection of cheeses, and fruit.

Day Seven: We enjoyed free time exploring London before our afternoon tea at the Shard! The Shard is the tallest building in London offering beautiful views of the city. The tea includes unlimited sampling of the best teas England has to offer along with a delicious array of tea sandwiches, finger foods, and delectable desserts.

Day Eight: One of our favorite days! We felt very fortunate to have David Mildon as our blue badge guide for the day. He met us at our hotel and we embarked on a day-long adventure exploring the best of London. He was engaging, knowledgeable, entertaining, and flexible in his desire to give us the best possible experience. We took the Underground to Buckingham Palace, but due to a garden party we were not able to get close or see the changing of the guard. David quickly pivoted, took us to see King Charles' home and while walking with us through the park realized that if we detoured we would be able to watch the Trouping of the Color rehearsal for King Charles' birthday. It was one of the neatest experiences on our trip and so unexpected. We then toured Westminster Abbey and learned so much! From there we took a sightseeing river cruise on the Thames, and disembarked at the Tower of London. David knew how to best use our time so that we did not wait in line at all to see the Crown Jewels. He was delightful to spend the day with and unbelievably well informed! We ended our day with a sunset visit on the London Eye! What a neat experience and the best way to take in the beauty of London.

Day Nine: We met our blue badge guide, Alexandre Davy, early in the morning for our drive to Windsor Castle. I would highly recommend a privately guided tour of Windsor Castle and St. George's Chapel following the Best of London walking tour. This tied all of the history of England and the monarchy together. The stories Alexandre told and the historical knowledge he provided perfectly complemented what we had learned the prior day from David. We ended the day feeling like we had truly learned about London and had such a renewed appreciation for the history of the monarchy.

Our final day ended in the very best way! We saw The Devil Wears Prada in the West End. It was the best musical I have ever seen - we absolutely loved it!! The cast was perfect, the music incredible, and the performance as a whole was highly entertaining. Justine again got front row tickets for us, so we had an unobstructed view.

We had the best trip of our lives and are so grateful for everything Justine/KimKim did to put it together for us. You thought of every detail: we had the best guides, the best seats, and simply the best experience. Thank you.

Our agent, Clothilde, worked with me over several months and with many changing conditions to make this work. We originally had 4 travelers, then 5, then 6! She worked with all of this and made it all work nicely.

We spent four nights in Interlaken and then five in Zurich. Tours in each location were great and we had appropriate time to just "hang out". If I had to do it again, I think I would do five nights in Interlaken (this location is just so amazing) and four in Zurich, if only to spend a bit more time in Lauterbrunnen which is crazy awesome, imo. Also, I should note that the trip up to Jungfraujoch was completely whited out by snow; but it was still fun to ride the gondola, train, and then play in the snow and tour the complex, but maybe you should look at time of year (we were in May).

Hotel Reviews
Sorell Hotel Rütli
Zürich

This hotel was very nice and breakfast was good. Our room was very nice and we enjoyed our stay for five nights. There are a bunch of restaurants nearby, and the light-rail, and a grocery is very close too. The staff was also very friendly. We had a bit of problem with where to put our things - more storage or cabinets would have been nice. We had a lot of stuff for a long stay (we were in Europe for two weeks) and that was a bit challenging, but we made it work with no real problems.

Zürich

I've rated this as 5/5 but we had to put some constraints on the tour guide that were probably not fair, and that resulted in a tour that was probably not as it could have been. That said, the farm we visited was awesome, but it didn't make milk for cheese, and we never saw an cheese getting made. Maybe that's our fault for changing the itinerary, but the farm had alpacas and llamas, so I don't think it was ever really about that. And I don't think we ended all that much early. We had a great time. Please do not question this. It just feels like the description didn't match up - and would not have even if we had not modified it.

Dear Chris,
Thank you very much for your generous 5/5 review and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We’re truly happy to hear that you had a great overall trip to Switzerland.

At the same time, we sincerely apologize that the Appenzell experience did not match the description and expectations around traditional cheesemaking. You are absolutely right that visiting a farm with alpacas and llamas was not intended to be the focus of that experience, and we understand why this felt disconnected from what was advertised. Even taking the itinerary adjustments into account, we fully acknowledge that this part of the tour did not align as clearly as it should have with the original description.

We also appreciate your fairness in recognizing that the itinerary changes may have created some constraints for the guide, but we do not want that to take away from your valid disappointment regarding the experience itself. Your feedback is important, and we will use it to review both how this activity is presented and how we structure similar visits in the future.

Thank you again for your understanding, your kindness, and for traveling with us. We’re very glad that despite this issue, you still had a wonderful time overall.

Hoping to assist you again, shall you need assistance for a trip to France and/or Switzerland,
Warmly,
Clo

Perfect location to experience the very best of Avignon and diagonal across the street from the tourism office where all the tours meet. The bed and shower were particularly comfortable.
