This is the second time I use Kimkim to plan a 15 day vacation visiting multiple cities and taking various transportation means. Kimkim did its wonder again. I can’t say enough good things about Kate, my trip advisor/planner. She took the time to truly understand our travel style and delivered a trip that exceeded every expectation. She is also very accommodating since my family was joining us from different places. Alone the planning process, I made several changes to the initial itinerary and Kate was very patient with me. She made all the adjustments and gave me a lot of great suggestions. She also checked in during the trip to make sure we are ok. I also want to point out the private drivers and/or small tour company she engaged were very good and professional. Without Kate, our trip could have been stressful. We’re already looking forward to booking our next adventure with Kimkim

Hotel Reviews
The Dean Court
York

The location of the hotel is perfect, right next to the York Minister. Front desk staff is cordial and helpful. However, the room is tiny and the "free breakfast" is not full breakfast, which was a surprise to me. No protein included in the breakfast but you can pay to order full breakfast.

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh
Edinburgh,

The hotel has the best location you can ask for. It's right cross the street from the train station if you come out the "Market Street" exit, no need to call a cab, just less than 10 min walk. The view from the hotel room is amazing as the Calton Hill and iconic Edinburgh clock tower are right in front of you. The hotel staff is so friendly and helpful. Let alone the great breakfast and restaurant staff. Scottish people are so nice!

Authenticity & Character
Roomy, clean and well equipped.

It's right cross the street from the train station if you come out the "Market Street" exit, no need to call a cab, just less than 10 min walk. You can walk to the Royal Miles in the old town or go to Prince in the new town. We walked to the W Hotel rooftop to see the whole city!
Staff
Most friendly and nice staff I have encountered! My daughter, a college student, has to do some school work and make calls. The restaurant manager let her work in the restaurant in the afternoon!!

Guides, Drivers and Staff
Our driver, Chris, is so accommodating. He's puncture, sent me text message a day before to confirm pick up time and another text message when he's on the way. The cab was very comfy.
