The kimkim platform is a great tool to help match travelers directly with local specialists. We wanted to create an itinerary for Cambodia that was an authentic, personalized and responsible travel experience. Steve provided excellent service for the pre, during, and post travel journey. We were happy with nearly everything that was planned and he matched our travel intentions well with local guides and resources. For the one snag that did take place - Steve worked expediently with the local hotel to provide us with a solution that went above and beyond our expectations.

Without a doubt, we would recommend kimkim and Steve's management service for SE Asia to our friends and family.

Our guide was extremely knowledgable about the history of the temples and made the experience comfortable with refillable water bottles and a kind remork driver. He also used a terrific book that showed visual illustrations of what the temples looked like historically as compared to today. We ended up purchasing several as gifts for friends and family.

This is a wonderful program that is very experiential. You prepare and feed the elephants and learn about their personalities and have a chance to touch their trunks with careful instruction. Great guide, great lunch.

This is a must-do for travelers that like the outdoors and want an off the beaten path cambodian experience. Great bird watching, beautiful and clean river, very kind staff and guides, delicious food. The 'glamping' set-up was very modern and comfortable.

This was such a fun experience. We tried the most delicious street food and then ate a local restaurant. We even stopped for a cocktail. This was made truly excellent by our guide, Pich, who participated in eating with us. It was like having a friend show you around the food scene of Cambodia. SO FUN

Hi Suzanne & Bryce,
Many thanks for your kind words, which will be helpful for future travellers when considering Cambodia.
We love to plan bespoke travel and treat each request individually. It was great to know your interests to help match with what we could offer in Cambodia. It worked perfectly except for the beach hotel which has gone downhill in recent weeks. Thanks for all your honest comments there which have been shared and hopefully the hotel will return to the good level of service it used to have.
Hope you plan your next trip with Kimkim and I'm sure there will be an expert ready to assist.
Best regards from Siem Reap,
Steve.
