Kimkim Trip Reviews

Your team quickly adapted to cancellations and weather issues that we encountered. We also felt they your team personally assisted us throughout the trip. Thanks

The Spain vacation was wonderful thanks to Coraima and the KimKim team. They made great recommendations and their responsiveness and reliability was excellent. I would definitely consider using your services for future trips.

Our travel agent at KimKim, Hien, was so helpful not only setting up the trip before we left, but also on the trip.
Throughout our time in Vietnam and Cambodia, she kept in touch with us to make sure we liked our guides, that we likes our tours and making sure we were where we needed to be. She checked in to see if we wanted to move our flight forward to better suit our itinerary then made the changes on her own. She even sent me a special gift on my birthday.

This trip was so wonderful and it was all completely suggested and created by Hien. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking at visiting Vietnam and Cambodia!

Our first trip to Brazil was an adventure we will never forget- we put our trust in Bruno to plan this amazing trip. From the moment we arrived until the end everything was perfectly organized in a safe & fun way. At each step of our journey we were met by local guides (Sol & Luis) who took incredible good care of us. It was our first time planning a trip with KimKim and it won’t be the last. All of our wishes came true.

My college-age son and I had an incredible time!
La Paloma Lodge was a pearl -- accessible only by boat, it is nestled in the rain forest and the experience of staying there was both novel and comfortable. My leg was eaten by sand fleas at the local beach, but otherwise we had a wonderful tour of Corcovado National Park, and the Cano Island snorkeling was fun. The only thing I would comment on is that the snorkeling trip ends with lunch on a beach (we were at San Josecito Beach) but there is no bathroom available there (which was surprising). I was also stung by multiple jellyfish larvae while snorkeling, so that was a bit rough. I was itchy due to the sand fleas and larvae stings for a full week afterwards. I would have appreciated a heads up about these in advance, as I did not adequately protect myself.
Manuel Antonio was awesome, but in particular, our hotel (Hotel Mariposa) was spectacular. The resort is breathtakingly beautiful, and there are monkeys and macaws surrounding the property. I went for a daily swim in the pool because it was so beautiful and comfortable. The food at Le Papillon is a bit overpriced but it is delicious.
The Manuel Antonio hike with Andres (an ornithologist and naturalist) was incredible. He can spot a dragonfly from 100 feet away. It was a privilege to learn from him, and his powerful scope was instrumental in getting some incredible photos. We LOVED the whitewater rafting, even though water levels were low. In retrospect, I would have wanted to go in a full raft (not a raft for just the two of us and our guide), as the heavier raft leads to a bumpier ride. The guides at Amigos Del Rio were excellent.
The surf lesson with Sebastian (who works for Glen) was good, even if there was as much chatting as there was surfing. The Manuel Antonio beaches are perfect for learning to surf. The only unfortunate aspect was that our driver to and from the lesson never showed up so we had to rely on alternate mechanisms. Also our itinerary listed the lesson as "2 hours" in one place and "3 hours" in another place. Turns out it was only 2 hours, but that was plenty.
All in all, the team at Serendipity did a great job, and Adrian was accessible on WhatsApp at all times. That was hugely helpful.
Here are my suggestions:
1. More specificity on what to expect and where to be. It's great if a tour starts at 7:50am. Where should we be at 7:50am? Hotel reception? Security gate in front of hotel? Who should we look for? There are times when multiple tour guides approached us, but we were not the right clients. It would have helped for us to have a name/company to look for.
2. Lay out where we will and will not have access to internet. At La Paloma, there is no cell service, and the only WiFi provided is in the central restaurant.
3. Warn people of sand fleas and jellyfish (golden line) possibilities.
4. Recommend tours like the mangrove tours or the night tours. We did not book these in advance but word of mouth indicates that they were amazing.
All in all, we had a great time, and I appreciate Serendipity Travel very much for booking such excellent guides and experiences.

🌟 I'm absolutely blown away by the incredible trip to Peru that Kim Kim Travel Agency, as arranged by Jimena for my family! 🤩 Every single detail was meticulously planned, and they went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience.

The guides were top-notch - flexible, pleasant, and personable. They made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the trip. And even when an outside vendor didn't quite meet our expectations, Kim Kim Travel Agency still fought for us and made things right. Talk about amazing customer service! 💪

From start to finish, Kim Kim Travel Agency carefully monitored and supported every aspect of our trip. They truly made this vacation a huge success for our family. If you're looking for an stress-free, incredible travel experience, look no further than Kim Kim Travel Agency! 🙌

Thank you, Kim Kim, for making our Peru trip truly unforgettable. We can't wait to plan our next adventure with you! 😊

We have rarely used tour guides, though we travel frequently. And we'd never used an online tool like Kim Kim before. It really was a great combo of tech (KimKimm) +people (Across Portugal). The trip was well planned, fit our criteria, gave us the freedom to explore while securing must-see and do activities. From the jump, Joao at Across Portugal worked with us to shape our itinerary and communicated regularly. But all that really was just the start. Joao's team at Across Portugal reached out to us via Whatsapp twice a day and, for example, linking us to the tickets we'd need for our trip to Sintra so they were handy on our phones. It felt very much like we had friends in-country to the point that somewhere along the way we started sending the team photos through Whatsapp. Perhaps though, best of all, when our flights got canceled out of Porto due to weather in Amsterdam, Joao supported us by securing transportation to and a hotel in Lisbon. All that service, plus a tech platform that was intuitive and delivered clear itineraries. So ... do see Portugal. It's an amazing place full of kind people, great food and signature moments (we'll certainly remember many as life-long travel highlights) ... And when you do, use Across Portugal and Kim Kim.

Muito obrigado!!! to Joao, Diana, Marisa and Pedro at Across Portugal; Our drivers Carlos, Ruis and Ricardo; Our walking tour guides Rita (Lisbon) and Sara (Porto) and the many great folks at the Heritage Liberdade Hotel in Lisbon; PineCliffs Resort in the Algarve and PortoBay Flores Hotel in Porto. 5 stars all around!

The trip to Vietnam was fantastic, from the planning stage to the return home.
Trang helped me plan the itinerary and activities for each day. I really enjoyed the peace of mind of always having a driver waiting for us at the airport and hotel for our tours.
My best experiences were the tours in the Mekong Delta and Ben Tre, Cu Chi Tunnels & Ho Chi Minh City Tour, Legendary Russian Jeep City Tour in Hanoi, and Lan Ha Bay Day Cruise.

Hoi An - Hue City tour - Hoi An (Join-in a small group) HUEHA

Hoi An

I enjoyed visiting Hue. It was a long tour with a small group. I think if I had chosen a private tour, I would have had a better experience. I didn't like the place where they took us for lunch, as there was no menu option, and the service and food were not good. I thought that the route through Hai Van Pass and Lap An Lagoon - Lang Co beach would be attractions, but we just passed by these places. Anyway, it was interesting to visit Hue.

We loved our trip to Mexico! We booked through Kim Kim on a friend's referral, and the Kim Kim team was patient, knowledgeable, and exceptionally helpful as we navigated the process of building our customized trip plan. We went through a variety of options through the design of our trip, and Hugo and the team were extremely helpful - finding options, presenting them and waiting as we reviewed everything, giving us time to make decisions, ask questions, and then modifying as we needed to. They have a ground team support that connected with us a month before our trip date, who were kind, approachable, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive. This made us feel confident and supported from day one through the post-trip period. This team understands how to value their customers. We will definitely use them again, and we look forward to it.

It was an amazing memorable trip. Couldn't have asked for more to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Coraima and Summer were super helpful leading up to the trip, building the perfect itinerary and assisting with changes through the trip. Hotels were very comfortable, clean and we received great service. Special shout out to the guides (Tatiana, Ruth, Guadalupe, Alvaro and Carlos) were all awesome and took good care of us on the tours. One of the best trips we have had and highly recommended.

Our family trip to South Africa, booked through Kimkim, was extremely well organised from start to finish. The itinerary was well balanced, flexible and perfectly suited for travelling with children. Accommodation and activities were well chosen, and communication with the local organisers Anna-Marie and Deb was warm, clear and responsive. Thanks to Kimkim, we could fully enjoy the trip without any stress.

We had only three days in Mendoza, so we needed to get the most variety we could out of that - Carolina was really helpful in that respect, and also very accomodating with numerous changes along the way as we juggled with trying to coordinate 14 flights with a travel agent back home. She was also very patient with my millions of questions :) In those three days we covered a city tour, mountain hike, wine tasting and cycling through vineyards, and another trek through the Uco Valley where we discovered more beautiful scenery.

We had an amazing time in El Chalten and Ushuaia. Erin was very patient in organising things to suit our interests, and dealt with lots of changes and tweaks as we finalised our flight details and other parts of our month long trip elsewhere. Highlights were our treks in El Chalten (delicious lunches delivered to our hotel each morning) and walking with the Penguins on the Isla Martillo. We didn't really see much of Buenos Aires as being December 31/January 1 as most places were closed (had we known we might have chosen to spend out time elsewhere on those days). The accomodation was excellent throughout as were our guides Laura and Martin in Ushuaia. The scenery from El Chalten to Ushuaia is spectacular and we would go back in an instant.

Mixed feelings on this trek - the view at the end was absolutely spectacular so well worth the effort, and the walk through varied landscapes to get there was also appreciated.

Discover the Beagle Channel - Full Day Penguins + Beagle Channel Navigation

Ushuaia

It was such a special experience to walk among the penguins, and learn about their lives. It was reassuring to hear how protected they are despite the tourism (their numbers are growing, a good sign) and our guide Pablo was perfectly strict about respecting them and their environment, which I really appreciated. A long boat trip there, for part of which we did see seals and cormorants, and a long bus trip back (great for a nap) but all worth it for the experience.

Full Day of Hiking in Tierra del Fuego National Park

Ushuaia

Laura was an excellent guide on this fascinating overview of the history, flora and fauna of the national park, which is truly beautiful. Personally would have preferred one long hike as opposed to driving between three shorter walks but this is a personal preference. My recommendation would be to ask for more details of the day before confirming (which is what I wish I had done)

Full Day Perito Moreno Glacier

El Calafate

The glacier itself is of course spectacular, and we appreciated being able to walk around and enjoy the numerous pathways at our own pace. The sounds of the glacier was also amazing surprise - did not expect it and when we could find a quieter section to sit and listen was quite humbling.

The "London in a Private Black Cab" was amazing especially with John's stories and knowledge, and a bit of gossip. Delianne was such a delight as host of our private "Royal London Tour!" She is a charming hostess with wonderful inside scoops she has gained from a lively life with friends "in the know." She is the type of person you would want to have for weekly dinners to add effervescence to your life.

Kate planned a perfect week for us with smatterings of many of London's offerings tailored to what we wanted without even knowing ourselves. She was responsive when asked questions, and on top of everything. We had very little time (end of the year and Christmas holidays taking up so much of our time), so it was such a blessing to have Kate to plan the trip so beautifully. Thank you.

Could have missed this. I would have preferred an informative river cruise that told us what we were seeing with some anecdotes. This was a very nice dinner cruise with music. Something you would do for an anniversary or birthday.

From the very beginning, Mica guided us through every step of planning our trip to Argentina. Her support was incredible clear, attentive, and always making sure every detail was taken care of so our trip would be perfect.

When we arrived in Buenos Aires, we couldn’t believe the surprise: we had a shuttle to the hotel with a guide! Agostina welcomed us with such warmth that she immediately set the tone for our entire stay. She helped us with the check-in, reviewed the itinerary with us, and even talked about music and Argentine rock her recommendations were amazing. She truly made us feel at home.

The drivers who took us around were also wonderful. The entire SayHueque team made us feel like Buenos Aires was our home, and that made all the difference. They were always checking in, suggesting places to visit, and making sure everything went perfectly.

The tours were unforgettable. Our biking tour guide Patricio (he was the best!) introduced us to mate for the first time, shared local stories, and made us feel like true locals. We had so much fun! The bikes were really good too, we even got luck and got to ride on a Bamboo bike. The next day, Agostina surprised us again with an amazing walking tour full of history, fun facts, interesting songs related to the “Porteño culture” and great suggestions. We left completely amazed. Even with a huge surprise for my husband who was looking for a tshirt of a local argentine show from 30 years ago, and they were still able to do their magic!!

And to end our trip on the highest note: a tango dinner show. Front-row seats, delicious wine, incredible food, it was magical!

Thank you, Mica, and thank you to the entire team, for making this trip truly special. We came back happy, grateful, and already wanting to return and explore the rest of this magical country. 💙

First time with Kim KimKim and very happy with everything.
Lorena is very knowledgeable with Chile and understands what we're looking for.
Lorena and the team had been a great help in every way, from planning, multiple changes and support during the trip.
She's always responsive. Our flight was delayed so we missed the connection on day 1, Lorena and Valentina helped secure last seats on new flights and saved the day! Our grand trip would have been ruined if it weren't for their help.

We had a great time and are very happy with the support received throughout. Highly recommend anyone going to Chile to connect with Lorena.

From a quote to a return home, we received an incredible support and attention from Josselyn.
at every step, quoting, activity selection, daily checks, and dealing with unexpected diversions, she stood by to help, 24/7.
The entire tour program was well designed, coordinated, and monitored during our amazing 12 days in Galapagos.
There is no denial, that having Kimkim on our side and Josselyn direct involvement, enabled us to reach every corner, secure every excursion, and enjoy comfortable accommodations. on many occasions (and we traveled during X-Mass and NY), we witnessed sold-out tours and limited accommodations. Not for us. Everything was reserved well in advance, local guides waited by the gate/hotel/marina, and entire trip was executed well beyond my expectations. Thank you Josselyn and entire crew to make this a dream vacation

This South Africa trip was truly exceptional from start to finish. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed with care making the entire experience feel seamless grounded and deeply meaningful for our group.

Working with Stephanie our local expert was a pleasure. Communication was clear timely and supportive throughout the planning process and while on the ground. She anticipated needs handled adjustments smoothly and ensured that every transition felt effortless. It allowed me to focus on the experience itself knowing logistics were fully handled.

Our guides were outstanding across every leg of the journey. They were knowledgeable engaging and deeply connected to the places we visited. Several travelers shared that the guide at Leopard Mountain was a highlight of the entire trip. His storytelling wildlife knowledge humor and presence elevated every game drive and created moments that felt both educational and magical. The broader staff at Leopard Mountain also deserve special recognition. Their warmth attentiveness and professionalism made the stay feel luxurious yet personal.

The accommodations throughout the trip were phenomenal with Leopard Mountain standing out as especially memorable. The rooms were stunning the views were breathtaking and the overall atmosphere felt peaceful and intentional. It was the kind of place where you immediately felt held by the land and the experience.

Transportation throughout the trip was reliable comfortable and well coordinated. Transfers flights and longer drives were handled smoothly which is no small feat with a multi city itinerary. Everything ran on time and without stress which made a huge difference for group travel.

The food was another highlight. Meals were consistently delicious fresh and nourishing. The food at Big Skies in particular stood out for its flavor quality and care. Healthy balanced and thoughtfully prepared it complemented the tone of the trip perfectly.

Overall this was one of the most well organized and impactful trips I have experienced. From the guides and accommodations to transportation meals and local support everything worked together beautifully. It was clear that intention expertise and care went into every aspect of the journey. I would absolutely work with this team again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a deeply enriching travel experience in South Africa.
