Fantastic Tour of the highlights of Eastern China

My husband and I took a one-week tour of Shanghai, Xi-An, and Beijing and I can't recommend enough. First, China is not an easy country to navigate if you don't have the local apps or speak Chinese, so we felt very comfortable being guided and having someone else figure out our ticketing, lines, etc. I honestly don't think we would have figured out how to see the Terracotta Warriors without them! The guides were all fantastic, and I was particularly touched by Edward's help in finding great vegetarian restaurants for us in Beijing. The hotels were all very nice and comfortable. Heidi is super responsive and communicative and I felt very supported and comfortable throughout the entire trip end to end. Next time I would love to go to Western China with Kim Kim!

This was my favorite tour. I especially enjoyed the Changeling Tomb as the museum is very nice and it was not so crowded. And of course, the Great Wall!

The Kim Kim company is great!! The guides are very professional and informative. Our main contact person Angela was very helpful every step of the way. She was able to make any requested last minute adjustments to make our trip more comfortable and convenient.

Our time in Japan exceeded all expectations and earns five stars across the board. KimKim travel took care of our adult group of 10 start to finish, and I would definitely use their services again. KimKim handled our travel and activity reservations as well as accommodations with professionalism and style. I cannot say enough good things about our local specialist, Angel, and our over-all experience. Each of our accommodations were clean and comfortable with excellent service, and the local restaurant suggestions were ideal. Yumiko escorted us on a busy day visiting the Imperial Palace East Gardens and Nakamise-dori. Angel and Yumiko organized a traditional Kimono Tea Ceremony which everyone enjoyed. We loved exploring the Mt. Fuji region with Yumi and were grateful for a break in the clouds and a miraculous view of the summit. Yasuko spent three days with our group immersed in the commerce and culture of Osaka and Kyoto. Highlights were the Nara Tour, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Bamboo Grove, Monkey Park Tour, and Foodie Night Tour. She added so much to our experiences! The Shinkansen bullet train was the perfect way to cross the country, allowing us to visit Hiroshima and Memorial Peace Park for an impactful memory to end our trip to Japan. All of our guides were extremely knowledgeable and energetic about their subjects, and it was evident how passionate they and the people of Japan are about their heritage and country. Thank you for a wonderful time!

KimKim was great throughout the whole process from the initial tour request all the way to the last day of our trip.
Ada was very professional and responded to all requests, updates and trip changes that we had. She was the best!!!
Our trip was filled with unbelievable tour, tour guides, translators and drivers. Everything was planned perfectly and we never had to wait on anything. All the guides, and drivers were waiting on us at the airports or pickup locations.

Book with confidence and then sit back and enjoy the adventure you planned.

Thanks for a once in a lifetime trip KimKim and Ada.

Ada was very accommodating and helped us plan a very personalized trip. We are very pleased with the results of her planning efforts, suggestions, and local guide selections and had an amazing time while exploring Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Thank you, Ada!!

I had a truly wonderful and unforgettable trip to China. As a solo traveler with limited time and no knowledge of the language, I was initially worried. However, Heidi was incredibly patient and accommodated all my requests to visit Beijing, Xi'an, and Shanghai, ensuring that the hotels met both my quality and budget needs.

In each city, I was met by a driver and guide promptly at the airport and taken to my hotel for much-needed rest. In Beijing, my guide Ms. Niki gave me an amazing tour, sharing the history in a fascinating way. In Xi'an, my guide Zoe provided an excellent tour of the Terracotta Warriors and explained their significance wonderfully. In Shanghai, my guide Mr. Run Liu took me to various exciting spots around the city.

Throughout my trip, Heidi consistently checked in to ensure I was having a great time. I had an absolute blast and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the trip. I highly recommend this experience to others."

We are just back from our wonderful trip to South Korea. We were really happy to have you as our trip organizer. From the very first contact till the end of the trip everything was smooth and easy. Our local specialist was amazing, supervising taking care of us during all our trip. All the drivers and guides, all our tours were according the plan. High level of service! Thank you and we are going to be back for having our next adventure together with you :)
