Our trip to Italy for our 25th Anniversary was incredible in every way!
Working with Eleonora, our local travel specialist, was so easy. We really appreciate the guidance and suggestions she made during the planning process as we figured out which cities we wanted to visit and what we wanted to do. Instead of us spending days/weeks researching every detail about what to do and where to stay, Eleonora shared ideas from what other travelers have enjoyed and recommended. She set up the best tours with the best tour companies, arranged all of our transportation between cities and selected amazing hotels in our budget! Our hotel in Rome even had a personal roof top deck and bottle of champagne awaiting us! What a delightful surprise!
Where kimkim really exceeded our expectations was in answering our questions during the trip and helping us problem solve. When we needed clarification on something on our itinerary, we were able to chat with someone from the team quickly to get our answers. When we learned there was a train strike planned for one of the last days of our trip, Gabriele acted quickly to adjust our travel plans between cities, so we wouldn't find ourselves stranded. He even called our hotel to request breakfast boxes since we had a new early morning departure planned. It was something that could have been a real travel headache and messed up the end of our trip, but instead it was quickly taken care of by kimkim.
Thank you, Eleonora, Gabriele, Lorenzo and the kimkim team for the trip of a lifetime!
Hotel Reviews
Great service. Quaint little hotel, central to so much. Delicious breakfast. Private rooftop deck in the penthouse was amazing and one of my favorite parts of the trip.
Updated rooms. Great location. Nice breakfast options.
LOVED this hotel! We LOVE LOVE LOVED the breakfasts and dinner we had here- we are actually still talking about the food daily and we have been home for a few weeks. This hotel is outside of the 5 villages of Cinque Terre but let me tell you its OK. This is kind of what makes it better and more relaxing. It is quiet there with beautiful views. There is a quick walk you can make to the train station- it is kind of like a nature trail, so might not be the best options for strollers or luggage. They also have a shuttle that is easy to take. Then its a quick few minute train ride to the other towns you will want to visit. We enjoyed having a drink while relaxing at the pool. The service was great. Again - the food was AMAZING!
Activity Reviews
There are so many tour companies when you visit the Vatican. I really liked how our tour guide pulled us off to the side when she gave us information instead of some who kind of rudely stop in the center of everything. This was one of my most favorite parts of our trip!
Our guide was great! He was entertaining, informative and fun to spend the day with.
We LOVED this tour. It was great to see different wineries. We learned so much, drank amazing wine, enjoyed a delicious lunch and even met some new friends on our tour.
LOVED this! We had spent a few days hiking and walking through Cinque Terre. Seeing it all from the boat tour was extra special. We have the most amazing pictures from this trip. We enjoyed the wine and food on the boat. And even took a swim!
