I planned a mother daughter trip to Switzerland, Italy, and Greece with the help of my KimKim specialist, Amandine. This was my 2nd trip through KimKim. I requested safe, mid- luxury hotels, 3 modes of transportation, and safe, confirmed activities/excursions. It was amazing! First, my hotel accommodations were all located in safe places, had A/C, and were absolutely mid- luxury. What a treat to be pleasantly surprised every few days as we traveled through 3 countries. In addition, Amandine arranged for train passes and for particular high volume travel- she even booked seat reservations. What a relief to see my name on a reserved car waiting for us outside the train station to take us to our hotel in Milan, Italy, a highly traveled location with limited taxi availability.
Kimkim was also able to help us with some flight connections across European countries. Finally, let me tell you that booking with Kimkim is worth its weight in gold for booking activities: excursions. We enjoyed a boat ride in Lake Como, Italy and a sailboat sunset cruise in Greece. The boat operators were professionals. No need to be concerned for your safety or if you would receive high quality tour explanations and service. It’s horrible to travel somewhere new and realize that your booked excursion is the less desirable one when you get there. Kimkim has connections with the best and safest excursion companies! I’m already planning my husband’s retirement trip, and, of course, it will be booked through Kimkim.

Hotel Reviews
Makris Beach Hotel Santorini
Kamari

This hotel is very close to the beach. It is attached to a good restaurant. The beds were new. Maria, the manager was very positive and professional. The A/C was sufficient- important in Greece!

This hotel is charming. It’s an older , updated hotel within walking distance of the main thoroughfare to downtown Milan. It’s in a safe, quaint community. The rooms are clean. The restaurant has a limited menu.

Clarion Hotel Arlanda Airport Terminal
Stockholm

If you are tired from traveling and need a clean room to stay in prior to your next trip, this is the place. Beautiful remodeled bathrooms. It does, however, have antiquated carpet in the hotel lobby and hallways. The brunch was spectacular: a variety of options.

Absolute highlight of the trip. We went to Jungfrau the same day as their famous marathon. People from around the world come to compete in this. We absolutely loved the cable car up to the summit. It was newly built in 2022.
