Kimkim travel agent was amazing very easy to use! You just explain what you are looking to do during your vacation and they do the rest!!! Cathy was awesome always quick to reply to any questions that I had!! The whole thing was so easy the planning, the payment. Then the Roadbook wow I can’t even begin to explain how amazing all the details they provided us!! The google maps links from one location to the other the time it will take to get to one location to the other the schedule that they set was perfect to go from one tourist destination to the other! All the tickets were provided that we would need for entrance for our stops!!! But what we are most grateful for was the hotels they chose! They were amazing! With comfortable rooms and beds to amazing breakfast! The attractions that they chose for us were wonderful!!! I can’t say enough about how pleased we were with Kimkim (Cathy)
Thank you so much for your time and for planning such a wonderful vacation that we will remember for ever!
