The organization of the trip and constant monitoring of location and help by Jimena and Jesus was quite amazing. Someone was always there to help, offer advice, and make suggestions while en route. My husband, 80 years, was not feeling well at 12,000 feet altitude and they were quick to offer help and solutions. We were very grateful.

Our guides were exceptional with their knowledge, especially our guide the second day in Lima. I can’t remember his name, maybe Jose. We had Martin in Sacred Valley and Cusco who not only was extremely well informed but full of fun , knowledge, and personal information. He was outstanding!

Eddy was able to get us into Machu Picchu when the tickets were sold out for the day and he kindly helped my husband navigate the terrain. Luis, in Puno, was also very helpful in assisting my husband through the climbing.

The guides were all excellent and helpful.

Lake Titicaca at the island of Uros was absolutely amazing and my favorite area.

For us being near or at 80 years and coming from sea level, we found the schedules very tiring with early departures and constant activity at difficult altitudes. However, we enjoyed the trip very much . If I went again, I would go at a slower pace.

All in all, Kim Kim, Peruvian Soul, did a great job.

Thank you Nikola! We just completed our KimKim part of an amazing trip to Croatia and Slovenia. We have had a great experience with KimKim on a previous trip to Greece and thought we would use KimKim again. Our advisor Nikola was awesome! He suggested some things we had not thought about, like going to Slovenia first then northern Croatia. We had decided we wanted to do a cruise to finish that trip and his suggestion of Katarina confirmed our choice. Every one of his suggestions was perfect and his arrangements were flawless. He was responsive to every communication immediately and gave us an update every night for the next day. We would never have thought of visiting Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Skocjan Caves, Vrsic Pass, Bovec, Vintgar Gorge, or gone truffle hunting with dogs. We loved all the suggestions. We also wanted to see northern Croatia and so glad we did. Loved Rovinj and Pula. And of course there was Split. All of the arrangements and accommodations were great. We are continuing with a Katarina cruise which is also awesome. I just to say that Nikola and KimKim were outstanding and thank them so much for the best trip ever!

Enjoyed the overall experiences had. Letizia on the Cicchetti tour in Venice was fantastic.
The one caveat is the local company only uses guides/tour companies they have contracts with, so if you want to use a different company or do a tour they don't have a contract with, you'll have to research it and book it outside of the site. Even some things, like the Uffizi Gallery and Vasari Corridor tour, I had to ask to be booked after reading about it online, as it wasn't recommended in the initial itinerary.
Also note that even though you have a time scheduled ticket for the Academia in Florence, you still have to wait on line, so best to arrive earlier than the schedule time.
The accommodations were great for the most part. The Hotel Ai Cavalieri di Venezia in Venice was beautiful and a great location. I wouldn't recommend the hotel in Cinque Terre, Hotel la Colonnina, as the walls were incredibly thin and we could hear everything happening in the hotel room next to ours. Everything. I would also recommend staying closer to Siena than Chianti as we spent most days driving south to explore those areas, while only one day around Chianti. Salvondica was beautiful though would save on drive time in Tuscany.
Appreciated the ground transportation scheduled and the WhatsApp messages from Jessica informing us of the name and number of whom would be meeting us in each location.
Would prefer to receive an itemized list of what my money is paying for rather than just the aggregate sum. It's convenient to have someone draft the itinerary and book the accommodations, etc. though I believe this cost more than if I had done the research and bookings myself.

Pera Palace Hotel was excellent. In Cappadocia, Alan and I were in a small room much Lower Than the rest of our group and little space for our luggage. The 2 at the higher level had separate rooms with fireplaces and plenty of room. We ended up upgrading 2 level and they gave us a complimentary upgrade to be at the same level as our friends. Otherwise you had to wait for golf carts to get back and forth. The room we were given was amazing. Also the pool was heated. The hot air balloon was amazing. I would recommend it to everyone!
Our guide in Antalya, Fatih Babaoglu, wasn't sure what he was supposed to show us until I showed him our writeup. It was a long day visiting the Roman ruins which made a very late lunch.
The boat from Olympos to feithye was a disappointment, partly because it was so rough and cool we weren't really able to swim. We could barely move around the boat when it was moving. We couldn't get into Blue Lagoon. Secondly the food was not great. There was very little protein in the meals so we were hungry sooner. Very basic meals, little variety and desert really only 1 night. Also no power outlets in the cabins so my husband could not use his sleep apnea machine and had to store his insulin at the bar (making it easier for him to forget it). Cabins were extremely small and not well laid out. My husband and I had a double and single in our room so had to crawl over each other to get in and out of the bed.
Bodrum was great. The Marmara Hotel was great and the views awesome. It would have been great to have had a heated pool as it was chilly. As it was up in the mountain we needed a taxi to get back up but it wasn't too expensive.
We really needed a full day in Pamukkale . It had some amazing sites but we didn't arrive til around 1pm and had to get lunch before we toured the main attractions. We ended up taking a golf cart to see the Roman ruins (which I think might be the best way as they are really spread out). We would have liked to have gone in the Cleopatra pool as it was open again but we didn't have time and we couldn't go in the limestone laden springs as it was too slippy. It was still wonderful to see. The Richmond Pamukkale Thermal Pool was not up to the standard of the rest of the hotels on our tour. It was a very worn resort hotel and catered to huge groups. Even the dinner wasn't great - too crowded too many people and buffet style!

My friend and I had an amazing eight day Moroccan Road Trip which was. planned by Kimkim. The success of our trip was definitely due to our Moroccan Immersion driver Ayoub. I can't begin to praise him enough. This young man spoke English like a Native speaker,. He was a consummate driver, provided us a better and realistic picture of life in Modern day Morocco as well as his daily kindnesses and his commitment to keeping us safe and on time. Our tour begin in Rabat where we met our favorite guide Hassania, who provided an excellent framework for the next week in terms of understanding the life of the Mortocan current King Hassan II, the role of Islam in the Morocco life, and the tradition of mosques in Morocco. Our favorite Riad was the elegant Riad Dar Chrifa in Rabat. The staff Omar and Papa at this Riad were incredibly friendly and helpful, and took care of Gray, the African gray parrot living there. Our favorite day was our road trip from Fez to Merzouga, including driving through the mountains, encountering the monkeys, the camel ride to Sahara Stars, and our lodging at this elegant glamping camp. Finally, one of my other favorite was our cooking lesson with Darr Salem in Maraskesh which involved going to market to buy the local ingredients for our meal, then my role as a sous chef and finally sitting down to have the yummy lunch in the home of our teacher!

Jane and Gabrella pieced together an impressive itenerary. Rather than visiting normal sites, we threw them a curve requesting to leave the beaten path so we could stay in castles and see lands our ancestors once owned. But of course, we also wanted to see all the major sites. They pulled it off with remarkable brilliance. The accommodations were tailored to mesh with our historical agenda and the hosts were amazing, yet the locations were conveniently close to venues and tour meeting points. They selected such great tour companies, we quickly learned to expect above average guides. Of some 20 plus guides and drivers we only had two I would classify as adequate, the rest were exceptional.

Highlights were so numerous it's difficult not to mention them all. Definitely staying the the Tullock Castle which had been in the family from the 1500s to the 1700s was near the top, finding ancestral inscriptions in the Tower of London is something we will never forget, and expecting to see the changing of the guards but being treated instead to many 100s of soldiers, guards, musicians, and mounted horsemen all in uniform rehearsing for the King's birthday was particularly momentous. Those were all great experiences but as for actual sites, Clava Cairns, Culloden, everything in York, Stirling Castle, and the American Cemetery at Normandy were probably at the top of the list.

Hotel Review
Tulloch Castle Hotel ‘A Bespoke Hotel’
Dingwall

While not huge like King's castles, or as grand as Duke and Earl's castles it was genuine and authentic, more like a baron's castle. The hosts were welcoming and the chef was remarkable. We were treated to the best meal we had on the entire trip there. Besides the restaurant, there is a separate bar which has a different menu. Our room had a four poster bed and a large, very modern private bathroom. I would caution you to read the room descriptions carefully as you can stay in everything from servants quarters, which are very small, to a grand two bedroom suite. This is one hotel where you will get what you pay for. There is a small family museum on premises which remains locked, but you can get a key if you are interested. I highly recommend the Tullock Castle and would definitely return if I'm ever near Dingwall again.

Authenticity & Character
Retention of as much of the historic nature as possible, while adding modern amenities
Location
It had great views, but it is out of town a way so it's better if you have transportation if you plan to stay several days and see other sites.
Staff
They were extremely welcoming. They were also very responsive and extremely polite. There was a couple who booked servants quarters, but were expecting a four poster bed room and demanded to be upgraded. Tullock is in high demand and was already sold out for the season. Yet despite them raising their voices and demanding a different room, they simply became even more polite and gently explained they couldn't kick someone out of their room and they didn't have an upgrade to offer.

What stands out is its significant historical status. It is way more immersive and engaging than Edinburgh Castle. It has seen extensive restoration and is rich in royal history. It is at the heart of Scottish history. It not only served as a primary residence for the Stewart/Stuart dynasty, it was also a critical military stronghold.

Two days in Merzouga at the Sahara desert was super scenic and memorable visiting with a Nomad family. Also our stay in the Dades Valley, an adventurous hike with a Berber guide and eating Tangine at a local family home was a highlight. Thank you everyone for making this a very meaningful trip experience!

I started planning my trip to Ecuador and Galapagos about 18 months before our travel date. I organized the trip for myself and 15 other people ended up coming too. I started with 4-5 different companies and ended up picking Alvaro at KimKim because he worked quickly, efficiently, and listened to what I wanted. I was extremely happy with the final itinerary and price.

There were a few tweaks that needed to be made, and once initial down payments were made, he didn’t respond as quickly as before. I was very worried, and others who had signed up were getting worried as well, but the trip was amazing.

Our guide throughout Ecuador was David. He was the best guide we could have asked for. He explained so much about his country, history, and culture. He was enthusiastic, passionate, and helpful. He made sure all activities were organized and enjoyable for all.

When we went to Mindo, two parts of the itinerary were left out, a coffee experience and ziplining. Alvaro made sure to add those items later in the itinerary.

Saul was an amazing guide in the Amazon rainforest. He was so knowledgeable about natural remedies and the forest. We all enjoyed the hiking, cave exploration, and indigenous experience.

We were sad to leave David, as he was not going with us to Galapagos, and we got a new guide. As wonderful as David was, our new guide was the opposite. Although she was very nice, this was her first tour ever, and it showed. She didn’t give us any information about the places we visited. Anytime I asked a question, she either didn’t know the answer or gave an incorrect answer. The group felt that she was just on vacation herself as she let the local guides do all of the work and just participated in the activities. We didn’t really need her on the trip at all since we had local guides. In addition, she was sick, and a few people on the trip also started to show symptoms of the cold that she had.

We went to Santa Cruz, Isabela, and San Cristobal and loved the islands. Our guide in San Cristobal even gave the group an autographed copy of his book! Thanks, Ian! I can’t wait to read it!

Overall, the trip was wonderful and everything went very smoothly. We did so many different activities and I appreciate the work Alvaro and David and the rest of the guides put in to make this a fabulous experience.

After multiple iterations with Khaled, we finally had an itinerary in place. I was a little anxious on how things worked out. However, right from the arrival in Cairo, things worked in clock work. Khaled had a local coordinator in each of the places we visited . This helped a lot. Right from timely pickups, drop offs and local coordination, the team remained accessible and regularly communicated with us. The wider team was informed about our entire schedule. So, we did not even once have to tell them about our plans while the local teams remained flexible. We appreciated the tips we got to handle topics like tipping which can get tricky in Egypt. We appreciated that the local logistics including tickets to all sites were already handled.

The local places which were arranged for lunch were good. The hotels in general were good as well. Unfortunately, the previous booking we had done with Iris Dahabiya did not work out as their air conditions were out of order. An alternative was arranged with Adam Dahabiya. While it offered a good room and outstanding food, the service offered on this boat felt extremely raw and not well trained. They also never seemed to have any of the drinks that were offered on their menu. In a supposedly 5 star dahabiya, I would expect that I can communicate easily with the staff. However, we had to rely on our guide.

We also want to give a massive shoutout to our 2 guides - Omar in Aswan and Luxor and then later Mohammad (Jimmy) in Cairo and Alexandria. They were highly knowledgable about history, literature, local tips. Not only that, they also coordinated any changes and kept us informed. Over 11 days, we were never delayed due to them. They made our trip extra special and want to extend a big Thank you to them. I would highly recommend them for anyone....

Overall, a memorable trip, thanks to Khaled and his team to make the Egypt experience so full of heart . Thank you Khaled, Mohammad Gawish, Hamda, Mohtaz, Walid, Omar and Mohammad (Jimmy)

The room itself seems very basic and a little rundown for the type of hotel it is . Yet, it is very unique. The materials used for the interiors is classic with a French touch. The high ceilings makes the room appear more spacious. The restaurant staff is outstanding offering the old school hospitality. They make it special any time of the day. The roof top restaurant is an absolute treat offering a great atmosphere and a spectacular view of the Mediterranean. Don't miss the sunset

My time in Thailand was the best experience in all aspects! I don't believe there was any "specific" part of the trip that stood out as my favorite. I enjoyed every Temple, Market, Interaction with locals, Thailand Culture and the beautiful landscapes of Bangkok and Pattaya. Mae Klong Railway, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Mangrove Forest visit was a wonderous experience, as well as China Town and the various markets. Learning the history of the Temples and Thai culture was an exceptional experience and my guides were well versed with their presentations of all the sites that I visited. I enjoyed the food from the various vendors throughout Bangkok and Pattaya. Everyone that I came in contact with, from my guides (Ms P Leena and Mr P Golf, drivers Chen, Mr P Golf and Pumin J), locals, hotel staff and vendors, were very pleasant and always willing to assist to make my stay in Thailand spectacular! I experienced first hand why Thailand is called the "Land of Smiles" and how very true that statement is in every aspect!

The one thing that made my decision to go with KimKim Travel is their commitment to have a personal Travel advisor (Benjamin) located in Thailand. This was a big plus in my book to have someone available to answer questions, make changes or offer personal advice without a time delay. Ben's attention to detail and his listening skills made my visit to Thailand the best experience of my life! Great job to everyone and I thank you all!

I enjoyed every minute and every excursion that was set up with such a wonderful personal touch. I will remember this trip forever as the best trip of my life? Ben the guides and drivers were a pleasure to work with and Benjamin always made me feel at ease by making himself available at any time. I thank them all for their support and thoughtfulness in helping me experience this exceptional journey! I don't believe I could have experienced anything better without Benjamins commitment and execution to make it all come true with zero issues!
