This was our second trip to Italy with kimkim. Our local specialist Leslie took our requests and planned our accommodations, tours, and transfers to suit us perfectly. Our tours of the Duomo and the Last Supper with local guides from Liv Tours were wonderful. Our group tour of the villa on Isola del Garda was a nice way to spend a day on the lake. We loved exploring the sights and streets of Verona. Our last stop in Trieste was memorable as it is an Italian city like no other. We were impressed with the architecture, sea views, restaurants and the vibe of the city. Lastly, our tour with a winemaker in Colli Orientali del Friuli was the perfect way to end our trip.

Dear Debra,

Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely review! It was truly a pleasure helping you plan your second journey to Italy with kimkim and creating an itinerary that reflected the experiences and pace you were looking for.

I’m delighted that so many different moments became special memories — from the Duomo and Last Supper in Milan to your time on Lake Garda, exploring beautiful Verona, and discovering the very unique character of Trieste. And I’m especially happy that the wine experience in the Colli Orientali del Friuli was such a wonderful way to bring your journey to a close.

Thank you again for trusting us with your travels. It was a pleasure working with you, and I hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back to Italy for another adventure in the future!

Warmly,
Leslie
