Leny and her team were extremely responsive and always available for anything that came up during our trip. They made sure that we had everything we needed and followed up on any last minute changes that had to be made to the arrangements. Overall, they did a great job and we had a wonderful experience in Japan.

Leny did a great job planning and the whole team provided excellent support while we were in Japan.

Great hotel but the location is not ideal. Perhaps something in Gion would have been better.

Mt. Fuji and Hakone Full Day Tour with English Speaking driver (Private)

Japan

Harry was great and Hakone beautiful. But lots of car time -- maybe a bit too much.

Half-Day Tokyo Tour with English-Speaking Guide

Tokyo

Probably the weakest link in the itinerary. Guide's English was not great. We spent a lot of the day on the subway going from location to location, which could have been better curated.

We would like to thank Vicky for all her attention and help before, during, and after our adventure in Australia and New Zealand.

Vicky paid particular attention to our interests, which were adventure and nature, and planned attractions and destinations according to our interests.

She created an itinerary that was planned hour by hour, minute by minute, to maximize our time.

The destinations, attractions, guides, and transportation arrangements exceeded our expectations, as did the accommodations, which were very comfortable, welcoming, and well-located.

We would like to highlight the flexibility with which she accommodated our wishes and handled changes before and during our adventure.

Thanks to Vicky, our family vacation in Australia and New Zealand was a success.

We actually visited Dubai and Jeab was our specialist. It was a great trip. Dubai is an amazing place with a mix of modern and old cultures. Our dinner cruise, city tour and desert safari gave us an insightful and inspiring introduction to Dubai. I wish we had more time.

The guides were very professional & knowledgeable Marc(Auckland) Dan(Rain forest-Port Douglas) our guide on the volcano run & the guide who took us to see the penguins were excellent

My trip to Japan was extraordinary because of Leny.
Hee daily follow up was so useful
Leny knew exactly what I had in mind. The hotels choices were excellent & a few footsteps away from restaurants and services.
Traveling by trains & navigating huge stations with lots & lots of crowds can be pretty intimidating but the detailed maps Leny provided made it very easy to do this.
The guide in Tokyo was excellent giving me detailed historical information about the shrines & shintos we visited & came prepared with charts to explain the differences between shrines & shintos.
Marco the photographer was amazing choosing all the perfect locations for an excellent photo shoot.
My guide to Nara did a lot of research & came prepared with sheets & charts. I found this very sweet. Shows the real Japanese ethics & dedication to work.
Thank you Leny for creating the best travel plan for me & for making my first trip to Japan unforgettable.
You are the best!

Most all websites and others say it takes about 14 days to really see Japan. Well, when you're working with Leny of Kim Kim and you tell her we only have 7, she put together a most amazing trip we ever took...!!!!
Everything went as plan with no hiccups...!! If you're a little phone savvy, good with GPS and directions then all it takes ...!!
We went from Toyko, Hakone, Kyoto, Hirashima then Osaka with only our backpacks...!!!! With all the walking tours & running around, I even lost 10 pounds...!!!
The price was also very reasonable because we don't like 5 or even 4 stars hotels. All those we stayed in were clean and had everything we needed including washers and dryers...!!!
She also arranged out stay in South Korea as well, which that was also amazing. I told her i wanted to go see Busan as its use to be called Pusan when i was there in the Navy in 80-83. Our tour guide there show me the area the Sailors hang out, but it has really changed since then.
Don't take a chance on trying to do this yourself like i thought i was going to because you will not have a good experience.
Call the best in the business...!! Leny of Kim Kim...!!!!

Jook booked this trip for us very last minute and did a fabulous job. Hotels were wonderful and the driver/guides exceptional. Jook selected great tours that we thoroughly enjoyed. I will definitely use Jook and KimKim again - fabulous company.
