From do-it-yourself planners: Kimkim was worth it
Greece

Apr 21 - May 12, 2026
Our first experience with Kimkim (a trip to Greece and southern Italy) was very positive. We are accustomed to planning our own trips but found the advantages of working with Kimkim worthwhile: our agents offered experience and advice that can otherwise be difficult to come by; the agency provided services that smoothed the way where we would have struggled (for example, getting from airports to hotels); suggestions were provided for activities we otherwise wouldn’t have known about, such as stopping on our drive from Athens to Nafplio for a wine tour and lunch. We would not normally have opted for private tours but found them excellent and well worth engaging. A few itinerary details in Italy were erroneous but we worked them out, and one tour was disappointing, but both our agents were very responsive when contacted. Our primary agent, Chris, listened carefully and planned thoughtfully, as well as checking in with us during our trip. Thanks for your valuable help!
Activity Reviews
Beautiful setting, tasted four wines, then had lunch. A nice stop on a drive, and fun to learn about local wines.
Our guide was so knowledgeable and engaging!
The site is not one to miss. The group tour is okay.
Great guide, knowledgeable an interesting.
Great guide, knowledgeable and interesting.
Pompeii was fascinating. The guide, however, tended to walk ahead with my husband so I missed much of what he said. The tour of Naples was pretty good. The driver was careful.
Another great guide. She also pointed us to an ethnographic museum because we were looking for more cultural and anthropological informaition.
Fun! Great food! Included historical sites, and although we had seen some of them the previous day, we got a different perspective on them.
Another great guide, interesting site. Huge!
We were given a tour only of the Gattopoardo Museum by an English-speaking cousin of a museum employee, although I had requested history and culture of the town.
We visited historical sites in Marsala followed by Mothia, remains of a fascinating Phoenician settlement. Our guide managed to fit in a good deal! Afterwards we toured the salt pans and saw how sea salt was harvested, saw the old wind-powered grinding stone, and had a salt tasting. A great day.
