Perfectly executed unique family trip to Greece!
Greece

May 17 - May 29, 2026
Gustavo helped me plan a fantastic trip to Greece for our family. He patiently worked with me to craft a the itinerary for the unique trip I had in mind, spanning the North to the South, that I would have been hesitant to plan on my own. The Kimkim app and chat/comment functions made planning the trip so much easier than the typical email back and forth, as I could see the detail in all of the hotels and tours we were considering. When I needed to speak in person to Gustavo, that was easy to schedule as well.
All of the guides on our trip were amazing and extremely knowledgeable. Two of our guides (in Mycenae and Monemvasia) were even trained archeologists! Our hiking guides in Meteora and Bali Canyon were experienced guides as was our river rafting guide in the North and our kayaking guide in Epidaurus. We loved our truffle hunting and pasta lunch in the forest as well as our Acropolis tasting tour (a great way to stay awake on our arrival day)! The positives are truly too numerous to mention.
The hotels we picked with assistance from Gustavo all met or exceeded expectations, and each of our car transfers were seamlessly executed, to our pleasant surprise. Communications while in country were easy and responsive when we inquired about making some adjustments for transfers during the course of the trip.
I would not hesitate to use Kimkim again for our next trip and recommend them without reservation!
Hotel Reviews
Conveniently located with excellent breakfast on rooftop restaurant overlooking the Acropolis. 5 star status commensurate with a city hotel.
Although a “3-star” hotel we very much enjoyed our stay and having some additional rooms to spread out in. The affiliated restaurant had great food and the hotel staff was very accommodating.
Hotel was very conveniently located in Nafplio which made up for its shortcomings (lack of restaurant and amenities).
Beautiful hotel with spectacular grounds and authentic feel. We loved our villa with room for all. Breakfast was phenomenal and we enjoyed the pool, padel and spa amenities. Great start to the wind-down and relaxation part of our trip.
The bungalows with private plunge pool and patio for each room were jaw-dropping. Every amenity was given thought. Excellent hotel service at check-in and at beach.
Activity Reviews
We lived our guide who was knowledgeable about Athens neighborhoods although not wine. The tour was a nice tour of neighborhoods but did not comport with tour description in many respects.
Guide was knowledgeable and kept us engaged despite jetlag.
Enjoyed seeing non-touristy neighborhoods and secret ruins along with major attractions such as government buildings.
This was our first intro to Meteora and we enjoyed having knowledgeable and experienced guide and hiker to help familiarize ourselves.
Guide was knowledgeable and van driver good but tour overall was not so interesting to warrant the 7 hours dedicated to it. History of archaelogical excavations was most interesting part.
Although not the Vikos Gorge, and although rapids were only Level 2-3, we still enjoyed our day on the water. Rafting guide was great and it was a unique and beautiful experience rafting amidst the Meteora rocks.
This experience was a nice interlude to our Meteora hiking adventures. It was cute spending some time with the truffle hunting dog, and the picnic lunch of freshly made truffle pasta in the wood was a memorable experience.
