Our trip to Chile was amazing and so much of that is thanks to the exceptional people who guided and supported us at each stop.

Camila, our main organizer, deserves special recognition. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care shaped the entire experience. Every transfer, tour, and connection felt effortless because she was always one step ahead. You could feel how much pride she takes in showcasing her country, and it made all the difference. She was also very patient and worked hard to get the itinerary just right.

We were also fortunate to have wonderful local guides throughout the trip. Each one brought their own personality, expertise, and passion for Chile’s landscapes, culture, and history. Whether we were exploring cities, tasting incredible food and wine, or taking in the natural scenery, our guides made every moment richer and more meaningful. Shout out to Ignacio and Jennifer who showed us around Santiago and out to the coast, Marco who spent the day with us at the geysers and desert and has a great passion for the country and photography, and every other tour was great! We appreciated and genuinely enjoyed our time with each guide. There's no part of the trip we wouldn't recommend!

It's a lot to pack in 11 days, but Camila made it possible!

I cannot express enough regret for booking my trip to Chile through Kimkim. If it could go wrong, it did. At the end of the second day, every part of my trip that they were responsible had gone south.
Starting with the airport transfer- our driver was a road raging lunatic. With six tourists in the back, he spent over thirty minutes chasing down another vehicle trying to pin it in. He was finally successful and then went to confront the other driver while completely forgetting he had customers in the back. Some of the other travelers were shocked while others were terrified. To me it was beyond unprofessional, and my partner and I ended up having to walk to our hotel
The hotel provided by Kimkim was pleasant except for terribly rude staff. Then our first tour was cancelled with little notice. We were not offered to have it rescheduled or provided a refund. Turning to the second tour, we were promised English speaking guides. When the tour operator picked us up, he told me that he didn’t speak any English and whoever we booked the tour though (Kimkim) dropped the ball because his company did offer English speaking guides. When I contacted Kimkim about this, they said there was an emergency with the English-speaking guide, so we got put on the other tour.
The part of my trip I was looking forward to the most was going to the port city of Valparaiso for New Year’s Eve. After paying in full, Kimkim told us that we could not do that tour on that day because it would be too crowded and we could do a food tour instead. After the second day and the tour going horribly, I reached out to our tour operator and told him to cancel everything and refund the remainder. We paid Kimkim $3,590 for a 7 day tour, cancelled after the second day, and they refunded $370.
After cancelling the remaining trip, I rebooked hotels and went through Viator. It was much smoother with zero headaches. We even made it to Valparaiso on New Years Ever and had an amazing time. I would avoid this company at all costs.

Dear James,
Thank you very much for your feedback. We appreciate your opinion and always strive to improve our services.
When you told us about your experience during the transfer, we contacted the local operator and some of the other passengers, and they told us that another car hit the side mirror of the van and that later the drivers exchanged their insurance information. I am sure that the sound of the other car hitting the mirror caused an uncomfortable moment, and I apologize for that. I understand that you decided to walk the final distance to the hotel, while the other passengers continued with the van, as it was still completely functional, but we also offered you a private transfer to finish the way.
While you were happy with the hotel itself, it seems you did not connect with the staff and felt that the staff did not treat you the way you expected. We are very surprised to hear that, as we always receive good to excellent reviews about the hotel, including especially the staff, but we take your feedback seriously and have asked the hotel to revise and, where necessary, improve the quality of their customer service.
When the first tour, a stargazing tour at night, was cancelled due to bad weather (you would not have seen much with the night sky covered by clouds) it was rescheduled for the next night. Nevertheless, as you cancelled everything in the morning, unfortunately you could not enjoy the tour then.
You are right about the second tour, the guide who had been confirmed for that tour had to cancel due to an accident, and the guide that replaced him at such short notice did not speak English. We apologize for the inconvenience this caused you, and while you made the trip, we understand that the tour with a Spanish-speaking guide was not what you booked, and we made a full refund of the tour price. Still, you decided not to go on with the rest of the program, which was completely organized, including your excursion to Valparaiso with one of our guides. Of course, we tried to recover as much as possible from the payments made to the different service providers (hotels, guides, transportation), but being a no-show/last-minute cancellation, I am afraid the amount recovered was less than you hoped for.
We are very sad that you decided not to go on with your trip, as we are convinced you would have enjoyed it very much, as so many travelers who leave their feedback here. Nevertheless, we are glad to know you did make it to Valparaiso and had an amazing start to the new year there!

We used Kimkim to help plan a one-week adventure in Chile, and honestly, it was one of the best travel decisions we’ve ever made.

From the very beginning, the process felt easy and collaborative. We went back and forth with them on what we thought we wanted to do, and they did all the heavy lifting — researching, suggesting better options, and refining the plan until it was exactly what we were excited about. They weren’t just plugging in generic activities — they were actively improving our ideas.

Once the trip started, the experience got even better.

Riwal and Alex were incredible. They were always available on WhatsApp and responded quickly any time we had a question, needed help, or wanted suggestions — even for things like restaurant recommendations. At one point we accidentally left our phone at a hotel, and they jumped right in and coordinated everything to help get it back to us. That kind of support takes the stress out of travel in the best possible way.

It felt less like dealing with a travel agency and more like having extremely competent friends on the ground in Chile who actually had our backs.

If you want a trip that feels thoughtfully planned, flexible, and fully supported while you’re traveling — Kimkim is absolutely worth it. We would use them again without hesitation.

Highly recommended.

It was a tough 14 mile one day hike but seemed manageable thanks mainly due to the guides who ensured our safety, provided adequate support, made the long hike enjoyable by sharing information, lot of water breaks. At one particular pass, we were up in the mountain with a steep drop on one side and the wind gusts were really strong. The guides helped us navigate through that pass using ropes, which made it a lot safer for everyone to continue our hike. I appreciated this a lot.

We had the pleasure of staying during New Year's, and the staff was excellent. They were always asking us if we needed anything to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms were nice and clean. The location was away from the town, but we got to explore some hiking trails around the shoreline. We were a minor concern because of the flight path, but there were a few flights each day, most during midday when we were out and about on the island. The pool was a little green and seemed out of order, so we spent more time at the beach than at the pool.

Not a welcoming front desk presence. Did not have hot water for the first 3 days staying at the hotel. Was told it was a regional issue, not a hotel issue (for hot water?) Once we did get water, it was lukewarm at best. The hotel was doing renovations during our stay and did not mention it, which was the real issue, as work crews were installing new water heaters that lay throughout the hallways. The rooms were designed like a cheap motel with paper-thin walls. The single person working the breakfast service was the only positive, inviting person. The location was pretty good, but there are a few other options nearby that may be better.

it was a small and quaint hotel but had trash and building supplies throughout the hotel as they were going through a remodeling and failed to let the team know that was an issue.

He went to bat for us with the hotel when they lacked hot water for over a full day, and arranged a partial refund for the inconvenience. He was kind and generous with his time.

Little bit of a walk to downtown and taxis weren't always available. For food (dinner/lunch), you either have to make a reservation before noon that day or they won't have food available and you might have to walk (~15 mins) to closest restaurants on main street.

More of a "western" style hotel vs. any Chilean character.

Hotel Lady Florence Dixie
Puerto Natales

Hotel was undergoing renovation, which is much needed. However, they lied to the agency about hot water not being available. Said it was a "sector" issue. There was clearly construction going on and, after escalating to our agency after over 24hrs of no hot water, the agency sent a representative by in-person who confirmed not a sector issue. Because we escalated, they did have workers working on regaining hot water to our room until 2AM on Christmas Eve. In addition to the hot water issue, the ceiling of our room had clear water damage, the carpet was disgusting, beds were basic, and there was almost a 1" gap between the bottom of the room door and the floor. Patagonia is a very windy place so the wind would come through and move the shades around all night long. This "hotel" is more like a run down motel. I only hope the renovations are done properly as it could have potential, but lying to hotel guests is a complete NON-starter for me. Would never stay there again. Only positive I can give is the staff that ran the breakfast room downstairs was always welcoming.

Quaint German-style hotel, right on the water. Easy walk to downtown for restaurants or shopping. Solid breakfast options in the morning. Decent WiFi.

Only complaint is the toilet in the main bedroom was right up against the towel warmer. Bit cramped.

Wished the van's A/C was a bit stronger. It was a warm day and the bus got very hot.

Sebastian did a great job sharing his knowledge of the history of the islands and the statues!

Our driver was so sweet! She knew our luggage was too big for her car, so she arranged for a cousin to come help from across the island. Both were very welcoming and gave us a parting gift. Far more than I could expect from a transport experience.

Torres del Paine is absolutely stunning! Even when dealing with what felt like hurricane-force winds, we just couldn't help but stand there are stare at the gorgeous surroundings.
