Kimkim did a wonderful job of helping us to plan our first trip to Italy. From creating an exciting itinerary to booking tours, they really planned a great trip for us. I loved that you could ask questions and make suggestions for each of the things they planned, before you even book the trip. And then a few weeks before we started our trip, Leslie was so patient with our last minute questions...and I asked a lot of them!
Once we left for Italy, their daily reminder of what was on our itinerary for the next day was so helpful and comforting. During the trip, they responded very quickly to real time questions during the day.
The meeting places were exactly where they said they would be. Each tour was wonderful. The driver who picked us up at the airport waited so patiently for us. The Naples food tour was so delicious and the portions were large. The guide, Sara was awesome! The driver from Naples to Sorrento was wonderful (GianFranco?) and the Pompeii tour guide was so informative and really customized our tour to what we were interested in. She knew everything about Pompeii!! Loved her! (sorry, can't remember her name). The Jewish Ghetto tour was perfect. The guide (Sara?) was so knowledgeable about everything. We loved her and the tour. The pasta making experience was so much fun. The instructors/chefs were fun and patient. Everything was so well organized. And I can't believe how easy they made it feel/seem as we made pasta. So enjoyable!! The Colosseum Tour and Sistine Chapel Tour were both well organized and informative. We loved the tour guides. The Oreste/Contadina Farm experience was lovely. Oreste was fascinating. We learned about our host and how he maintains his farm. The food was outstanding and delicious and generous.
The hotels were awesome! They were so clean and the breakfasts were all so full and delicious. An interesting thing happened when we checked into our first hotel, we entered our hotel room and there was no electricity. We called down to the front desk and found out you had to put your room card into the slot to make the electricity turn on. Ha ha!! The first hotel in Rome was lovely and charming. The Naples hotel was quirky in how you had to get into the courtyard and the pay to use the elevator. But it was so centrally located we loved it. The Sorrento hotel had the most beautiful view on its rooftop that it brought tears to my eyes!!! The hotel in Travestere was centrally located and we loved it. The courtyard to relax in was beautiful. We even liked how to use our phone to get into the hotel and to our room. And at each hotel the people were so friendly and helpful!!
Thank you Kimkim for helping make our first trip to Italy so very wonderful and memorable!!!!
Hotel Reviews
This is a great hotel in the middle of Naples. Great location. It was quirky regarding getting into the hotel and room but the staff was awesome in explaining all of the details.
We loved this hotel. It was charming and in a quiet neighborhood outside of the main part of the city of Rome. It was a 45 minute walk into the city. The breakfast was delicious and had plenty of variety. The staff were very helpful. The room was clean and it was maintained well.
We loved this hotel. The rooftop view was the most awesome sight!! It brought tears to my eyes. You could see so far. It was a 10 minute walk into Sorrento. When we checked in they asked us about if we needed tours etc. The boat tour they booked for us to Amalfi town and Positano was outstanding. It was a private dock and boat. The tour picked us up at the hotel and the whole experience was smooth and easy!! We had free time in both cities and we loved it. Thank you!!
We loved this hotel. It was centrally located. The Travestere neighborhood is interesting and so close to the central part of Rome. We walked everywhere and even walked back to the Colosseum. The inside courtyard was peaceful and lovely. We sat there and read one afternoon.
