I had an absolutely wonderful trip to Belize, and I can’t say enough about how seamless and enjoyable it was! Traveling with my teen son can sometimes be stressful, but this trip was completely worry-free thanks to our amazing local specialist, Alex. From start to finish, he thought of every detail and made sure everything ran smoothly.

The hotels he selected were perfect. Each one had its own charm and made our stay incredibly relaxing. The activities Alex recommended were engaging, fun, and perfectly suited for both of us. It was such a gift to be able to enjoy every moment with my son, knowing that everything was taken care of.

This trip exceeded my expectations, and I can’t imagine a better way to experience Belize. I would wholeheartedly recommend Alex’s planning expertise to anyone looking for a stress-free, memorable vacation in a beautiful country!

Hola Laraine,

Thank you so much for your beautiful and honest message. Your kind words truly mean a lot to me. I also want to thank you for the open and honest communication during the entire process. It really helped me create a trip that was perfectly tailored for you and your son.

I’m so happy to hear that you loved the trip plan and that everything exceeded your expectations. I put a lot of my own personal experience and heart into designing your itinerary, so it makes me especially glad to know it made such a positive impact on your journey with Noah.

It was truly a pleasure helping you create these special memories in Belize, and I’m grateful you trusted me with something as important as creating a beautiful memory with your son.

Wishing you and your family many more beautiful adventures ahead. Maybe Guatemala in the future.

Warmest regards from the city of the eternal spring,

I have to give Alex and Lilia a huge amount of credit for organizing and preparing this trip--they were attentive to our requests and maintained a regular dialogue throughout the process. When we got off the plane into Belize City, Lilia met us outside and told me that there were refreshments in the van for our 1.5 hour drive to Hopkins--this just made us all smile! We loved driving with Camron who used the trips to engage us and tell us about Belize.

I have used KimKim before and based on this trip, will keep going back!

Sleeping on top of volcano was absolutely amazing! Be prepared for it to be very cold and windy and I did not have self service. We got to the base camp around 1400 and there wasn’t a whole lot to do for the rest of the day until we went up to the top the following morning. But the guide and the experience and the beauty of the volcano was certainly an amazing experience and I would highly recommend. The tent was very basic but provided a flashlight inside and a sleeping bag and the sleeping bag was able to keep me warm when it was 38° outside.

Amazing trip to Belize and Guatemala. Alex was very communicative and helpful during the entire planning process and while we were on the trip. We have been on many trips through kimkim with local companies in different companies. There seemed to be a disconnect with this trip. Typically we have one guide for each region that spends each day with our family (from airport pickup to the last day). This guide gives us local history and lots of information. They typically provide water for our family, local snacks and keep an eye on the schedule for stopping to eat (which is important for us as we have five children). This wasn’t the case in Belize or Guatemala. The guides we did have were great! The trip was wonderful but not as seamless as we are used to with kimkim trips.
There was more than one instance where we arrived at a location (ferry, airport, etc) and the driver was no where to be found. Alex took care of things very quickly but there seemed to be a lack of communication or understanding of pick up expectations between Alex and the drivers. I would highly recommend visiting Belize and Guatemala, they are both beautiful countries.

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback and for trusting me with your family trip to Belize and Guatemala. I’m very happy to hear you had a wonderful experience overall and that you found both destinations beautiful. It’s also great to know you enjoyed the guides you met along the way and that I was able to assist whenever needed.

That said, I take your comments very seriously. I completely understand how important it is, especially when traveling with children, to have consistency with a dedicated guide in each region. Someone who can provide history and context while also taking care of the small but essential details like water, snacks, and meal breaks makes a big difference. This is something I’ll pay closer attention to when arranging future trips so that expectations are clearer and the experience feels more seamless.

I also acknowledge your concerns about pickups and the occasional disconnect with drivers. While I was glad to step in when needed, my goal is to prevent these situations from happening at all. I am already addressing these points with our trusted partners to strengthen communication and make sure transfers are smooth and stress-free. For logistical and budget reasons, we generally do not assign one guide for an entire trip, but I will be clearer about this distinction going forward so expectations are aligned from the beginning.

Your feedback is invaluable, and I truly appreciate the time you took to share it. It will help me continue to refine and improve the way I coordinate these details for future travelers.

Warm regards,
Alex

Hotel Review
Hotel Casa Santo Domingo
Antigua

This is a really beautiful hotel on the grounds of a former convent. In addition to lovely rooms, the grounds contain archeological ruins, an amazing museum of pre-Colombian art that is paired with contemporary glass sculptures/pieces that reflect the themes in the pre-Colombian works (free to hotel guests!), and several other intriguing things like a spa and chocolate shop that I didn't get to try because I was too busy running around Antigua! The staff were all lovely, and the food is good. One note is that it may not be the most friendly place for mobility challenged folks, as it is quite spread out and has a lot of (short) flights of stairs between areas. But overall, I highly highly recommend it.
