Kimkim Trip Reviews

had found KimKim while in the process of planning our honeymoon in Norway. A traditional travel agent wouldn't be able to provide what I was looking for but the scale of what I was trying to accomplish seemed massive and I knew I needed some help. A quick Google search led me to KimKim and it was exactly what I was looking for.

After a quick email exchange about where we wanted to travel too, we were put into contact with our local expert, Taylor. We started the dialog about where we wanted to go and things we wanted to do and she put together the first version of an itinerary for us. During the entire process she was very receptive to all modifications we wanted to make on top of giving meaningful feedback on our ideas since she has actually traveled in this area before. After some back and forth and a few versions of the itinerary, we had the blueprint for our perfect vacation. I should mention that up until this point we had not been charged for anything by KimKim and Taylor had been working hard on this for us for over a month. We paid the deposit after the itinerary was locked in and then Nick and Maria got to work booking all of our accommodations, excursions and transportation (airport transfers, etc.. KimKim does not book your flights).

Once everything was booked, the entire itinerary along with all confirmation numbers was conveniently put into an app and shared with us. I can't stress enough how awesome it was not having to sift through pages of emails looking for confirmation numbers and hotel addresses while abroad. I never had to do more than pull up the app to find any information I needed, and each location was linked to Google maps.

Our honeymoon went off without a hitch, and it was one of the best experiences I've had in my life. Not once did we run into a hiccup, every ride transfer was waiting for us when we needed them and if I had a question someone was prompt with a response. All in all the entire experience was a joy from start to finish and I would 100% book another trip with KimKim in the future.

Massive thanks to Taylor, Nick and Maria 🙌

Amandine made the original arrangements. Audrey helped with later arrangements including dealing with our one day airline arrival delay. Both were very prompt and helpful in responding b

Our trip to Machu Picchu was spectacular. As was our visits to Lima, Paracas and the Sacred Valley.

Our Tour Guide in Lima, Nancy, was very knowledgeable about the City's history. Her joy for cuisine was also memorable. We had a great time with Nancy.

Paracas was a huge surprise, as we did not know how expansive the Desert was and the Paracas Reserve was fabulous. Alvaro was the consummate Tour Guide, as the Desert is his life. The adventures he took us on will forever be etched in our memories.

Our days with EJ and Willie (our driver) were filled with wonderful and epic sites. EJ is a plethora of knowledge concerning the Inca people and culture. We learned so much from him. The side excursions like Stargazing alongside the road was awesome. And our coffee stops were filled with great conversation. We will forever remember EJ, as a Friend and Family.

We had a wonderful trip to Greece. Sydney did a fabulous job planning the ideal trip for us with plenty of adventures and time for rest and relaxation. Our tour guides were excellent, both knowledgeable and very enjoyable to spend time with.
Would definitely recommend KimKim and look forward to our next trip!

This is our second KimKim trip. We requested a train tour through the Swiss Alps, and that is exactly what we got — “in spades”! 👍👍 The itinerary was well organized, very detailed, and all vouchers were included. We also received guidance during the trip when needed. The train schedule was easy to follow, alpine sites were beautiful, accommodations were very, very nice, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Special thanks to Emilie and all the staff at Kimkim.

The local hotel brands selected were perfect. I was surprised to learn that they were booked through Expedia. I am not sure this matters but had the perception that rooms booked through a 3rd party site were not the best rooms. Our rooms were fantastic.

The Bed and Breakfast in Avignon was a treat! This was a great recommendation by Liz. Brian is a fantastic host and the property was extremely comfortable. The food was fabulous.

Overall the trip gave us time in different parts of France which was great to experience. The private transfers were all on-time (except one) and the cars were clean (except one). The drivers were all pleasant but spoke little English.

Skip the dinner cruise for future travelers. We figured the food would be sub-par and we were not disappointed. It was terrible and the waiter was rude.

Encouraging bike riding around the cities is a must!

The video prior to traveling was perfect to give us a reminder of what we booked and where we were in the city.

Felix was the best guide for the Louvre and Sainte Chapelle. We were disappointed we just got to see the exterior of Notre Dame. That would be our mistake we didn't catch that in the itinerary, the outside "tour" was a joke.

Our trip to Greece could not have been planned better. Angeliki was such a huge help whether it was offering suggestions, recommendations or providing options. She was quick to respond and always had a answer to any questions we had. Greece was absolutely beautiful, the excursions that were planned were informative, detailed and full of beautiful scenery. The food was so fresh, hotels were clean, transportation was always on time and there was plenty to do and to see. We are already planning our next trip! I would highly recommend Kimkim, Angeliki especially!

Above Blue Suites

Santorini

This was by far our favorite hotel that we stayed at during our trip. We stayed in the Moonlight suite, which thankfully was a short walk to the street level. The view, the view, the view....I cannot say enough about the view! It was absolutely amazing. You could literally stay out on your terrace all day and night watching the sunset. The room is designed to feel like a cave which makes the room feel cozy. The shower was big and has great water pressure. I would highly recommend and I would stay at this hotel anytime I visit Santorini.

The hotel was beautiful and a short walk to the beach. The room was very clean, however, we could not get the ac to work correctly, making the room a little stuffy. The bathroom had drain flys that were a little aggravating and the shower water pressure was very low. We alerted the staff about the water pressure and were told it it was fixed. It worked fine at night, but the next morning, it was low again.

Good day. The whole trip was a success and really wonderful. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and courteous and professional. Our bike and kayak hosts were great. Shared homemade wine and treats and were also knowledgeable in history! Our boat crew mates for the island hop were delightful and lots of knowledge as well. Everyone was great to us even the taxi guys. It was a great trip.

If only one word, it would be care. Care for me as a client and for my experience was evident and consistent. In the pre-trip communication, in the detailed responses, in the pick up at Kathmandu, choice of hotel, ongoing communication and check ins by Ngima during the jeep trek to Lo Manthang. Choice of a driver, Razu (sp?), with 18 years experience taking me up very roads and then some very tricky, not for faint of heart "roads" in the Mustang regions. Each night, I don't know how or where, it seemed Razu cleaned the car, at least for sure he cleaned the rubber foot mat in the back for under my feet - little things mattered and noticed. My guide was Pemba Sherpa, with 7 Everest summit attempts and 5 successful was over qualified for a jeep trek but he didn't in any way act as if he was; just there, helpful, humble, friendly, made sure i was comfortable and safe, knowledgeable, confident - i was in his "backyard" that he knew very well. Operations Manager, Binod was outdistancing as was Amit (sp?) who was our driver around Kathmandu. I mentioned them because I had a unique request which was to do a litter pick up in Kathmandu even if it was just me but they weren't up for something small so they went big and we did a great big pick up with a local school, Lion's Club and local residents - over the top creation of a an event. That was amazing!

I flew to Pokhara and then drove up to Lo Manthang in Upper Mustang near the Chinese border. A great adventure. scenery was great. Lots of monasteries were fascinating.

Carefully Curated Cultural Immersion ... planning was important, saying what I wanted, knowing what I was getting and then excellent execution by the team, made it great! Thank you, Pemba, Binod, Amit, Razu and Ngima.

My husband, Steve, and I were interested in visiting Portugal to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We began our research by watching YouTube videos, and one host kept showing up—Pedro Luis. I googled him and discovered that he was affiliated with KimKim. We reached out to Pedro, shared our interests, and from the very beginning, he was wonderful to work with.

Pedro put together an amazing trip for us that was perfectly suited to what we wanted to experience. It turned out to be a truly wonderful and memorable anniversary adventure, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything came together.We started our adventure in Lisbon and then traveled to the Algarve, Évora, Alcobaça, and Porto, rounding out our time in Portugal. We asked Pedro to add a few days in Barcelona at the end of our trip, which turned out to be a fantastic way to finish our anniversary celebration.
Our itinerary included airport transfers, walking tours, a Fado experience with dinner, e-bike and boat tours, cooking classes, tickets to UNESCO World Heritage sites, and so much more! Every guide we had was knowledgeable, personable, and well informed, making each guided activity that much more enjoyable. Both Steve and I are absolutely horrible with names, so the fact that we can't mention everyone by name is in no way a reflection of the wonderful time we spent with each of them.

We also really appreciated the balance Pedro built into our itinerary. In addition to all of the scheduled tours and activities, we had plenty of time to explore on our own, wander through the cities, and simply enjoy being there without feeling rushed.

I would give each of the tours and activities five stars. There were, however, two that stood out as 5+++: the cooking class at The Paella Club in Barcelona and the Sail Tour, also in Barcelona. Both were exceptional experiences.

The Sail Tour was scheduled for our last day, and it was the perfect way to end our trip. Relaxing on the water, taking in the beautiful surroundings, and reflecting on everything we had experienced made for a truly memorable final day.

We hope to return to Portugal someday, and if we do, there is no question that we will reach out to Pedro again. We would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and attentive travel planner who can turn a trip into an unforgettable experience.

Iceland and its people are very special, kind, helpful, cheerful. We were so impressed with all the sights to see and each day we thought the next would not be as wonderful- we were proved wrong every time. It just got better and better.
Thank you for always getting back with us quickly and helping us navigate the changes in our itineraries. I have already told others of our experience with you and your company.I hope that brings you business:) We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We had a great trip to Italy and enjoyed the schedule. However, I was first disappointed when I did not hear from KimKim days before my departure and upon my arrival. Even when our driver was not waiting for us at the airport and I reached out. We did finally connect with our driver after about 15 minutes and was taken to our hotel but then he complained that he was not satisfied with the 30 euro tip. I was also disappointed that we were not able to enjoy any time at the beach, which I specifically stated in our planning was important to me. This was because it conflicted with our Lemoncello and hiking schedule. I also had given our ages (I am 67 and my husband is 72) and although we are in good shape, the hiking and stairs in Amalfi were a little much. Added to all the stairs in Positana, we were exhausted after just two days into our trip. The other issue was the accommodations in Tuscany, it was very rustic, more stairs, no coffee pot, no tissues (had to use toilet paper on my face) and the shower went from warm to cold in a short time. KimKim helped us rebook and we moved to Florence. The other part I did not understand is why we flew into Rome and immediately went to Amalfi and back to Positano and then back to Rome, why wouldn't we stay in Rome and then travel to a Positano. The same thing happened when we were in Tuscany, they had planned for us to travel to Florence for tours but then back to Tuscany. Why wouldn't we just stay in Florence for a couple of days. It seems we spent a lot of unnecessary time traveling back and forth which I believe could have been avoided with better planning. As far as the Aristocrat Palazzo with a secret garden, this was a joke and basically a rundown portion of someone's residence. Our guide was over 30 minutes late and once I got a hold of her via phone, said she couldn't lock her door. In the future, I would leave this tour off your itineraries.
I am hesitant to use KimKim and will be looking for other agents as we plan our trip to Greece.

Had an amazing time in France. The trip Alexia put together was incredible. When I needed to make a few changes while on the trip Alexia was super helpful and help sort everything while I was out enjoying the activities and sights we had planned on the day, so I didn’t have to stress.

Staying the night on Mont St-Michel and experiencing it after the flocks of tourists died down was incredible! Also fell in love with Bordeaux would definitely go back.

My wife booked this and let them know we are in our 70s.
They booked us to tight too much in almost every day resulting us to miss or not able to enjoy.
Two of the events in Tuscany region were booked to the same winery.
One of the winery places was so un friendly and room was bad and they did nothing to help get any thing for the remaining 2 days.They did help us find one at the next stop at our expense outside of what we’ve paid.
On the last day they booked a 3:00 walking tour in Venice the guide was 45minutes late and it was really bad we stopped early.
This was our first trip of many we will be taking abroad we relied and paid handsomely for the experience We Did Not GET!
Unless they refund some of our bad booking I will be contacting people NOT TO USE THIS COMPANY. KIM KIM

Worked well as a stopover on our way to the airport but not somewhere I'd have wanted to stay more than a night.

The process, as well as the trip, was fantastic! It took us a long time to settle on the particulars of our itineraries. Anna Marie was very patient and helpful as we explored various ideas and time lines. Communication was excellent. We used text, email, the app, phone and FaceTime. All inquiries were handled promptly despite a 9 hour time difference. The local guides and drivers were excellent and very reliable. I heed used KimKim before and would not hesitate to do so again.

Fantastic!! Eric was so professional, knowledgeable and such attention to detail, he put together the perfect vacation plan for us. This was the first time we used a service like this and we would highly recommend it!! After some initial interviewing of what was important to us followed up with phone calls a sample itinerary and final itinerary. K Èric then took care of ALL of our bookings, car rental, hotels and excursions. He then send us a detailed day by day itinerary of any spots we would like to view on our own for each specific day along with all our confirmations. Eric was again so professional with adjustments we wanted to make before the trip after the itinerary was booked. He was a fabulous source for all our questions pre trip and even available for post trip questions when we got an unexpected bill from our last hotel his team handled it on their end. He even reached out to us as we were traveling to let us know of a road work we would experience within a few days and all the links to monitor its scheduled times it would let cars pass. For a traveling Iceland “ on our own” we never felt alone. We knew they were just a call away.
Would highly recommend Eric of Offbeat Adventure!!!
Also, we LOVED Iceland being one with all the amazing nature we left feeling renewed!

Fabulous trip! Just arrived home after 10 days - custom - made travel plan to Sorrento ( base) to Amalfi Coast 8 days & 2 days Naples. Kimkim and Storywalking = Jessica worked seamlessly together to create a trip of a lifetime for a multigenerational family of 6 adults & one 21 month old. Valentina (Storywalking) & team created perfect arrangements with private drivers and guides ( Mario -Pompeii and Naples City) -- superb that were professional, personable, knowledgeable, and fun. The plan worked well-- nicely paced in-spite of the extensive heat! Accommodations were perfect for our family as well. Look forward to another trip with Storywalking in Italy in the future! PS We also had a key family event --specular arrangement with local photographer for Engagement of our son & girlfriend -- thank you Valentina ! Grazie Mille
