Unforgettable Journey

Chile | Apr 27 - May 3, 2025

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a remarkable adventure to Santiago, Chile and Rapa Nui (Easter Island), traveling with my mom. Our local specialist, Riwal, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We received impeccable service while crafting our personalized itinerary and every detail was seen to through our travels. Our questions were answered thoroughly and promptly and Riwal ensured our every need was met while we were traveling. We could not have asked for a better local specialist. We also loved our tour guide in Santiago, Angel, and his team, made our visit very special. Angel consistently went above and beyond to make our experience extra special. He was very flexible in crafting our tours to our needs and interests. He was extraordinarily helpful in answering our questions, giving us tips and advise and even going out of his way to stop at a local craft market when we asked if there was one close by. Our food tour, trip to the market and our picnic was simply unforgettable! Angel's expertise and efforts made our trip extremely memorable and I cannot recommend him more highly. Finally, in Rapi Nui we cannot say enough about the Celebrate with the Locals experience, which was a sunset dinner on the beach prepared by a local family. We truly felt like part of the family and the food was incredible! You cannot miss this experience! Overall, we had a delightful trip and are happy with the service we received from KimKim.

Hotel Reviews

ICON Hotel

Santiago

Nice hotel, very clean with nice amenities. The staff is helpful. I appreciated that you can pay to check in very early in the morning and also to stay very late, if needed. It is helpful with the timing of international flights. The food and atmosphere in the rooftop restaurant is good and the drinks are also great.

Snorkeling Tour in Easter Island

Easter Island

Unfortunately, we did not enjoy this experience. There were literally no sea life to see on this snorkeling tour, which really defeats the purpose of snorkeling. We stayed only in one spot rather than trying to go to another location which may have had something to see. Disappointing.
