We had an amazing experience with kimkim, mainly due to our incredible specialist, Sebastian. Sebastian was always quick to respond, was very thorough, and was flexible when we requested adjustments...and even when we decided to extend our trip by a day at the last minute! Particular highlights were our Roman Ruins (Jeremy was the guide) and Best of Provence (Emmanuel was the guide) tours, the Maisons du Monde hotel in Marseille and Cloitre du Saint Louis in Avignon. Additionally, our dinner on the Eiffel Tower was magical, every transfer was arranged perfectly, and when minor hiccups occurred (like our daughter left her passport in a hotel!), Sebastian was extremely helpful.
I highly recommend kimkim, and would plan a trip again with Sebastian without hesitation! Thank you for everything!
