Italy | May 31 - Jun 13, 2026

Our grandmother's/granddaughters trip to Italy exceeded expectations. All elements of the plan curated and refined by Erica and Diliana flowed smoothly without any major glitches. Our guide for the Coliseum, Mirta, was knowledgeable and provided a lot of background. Oksana, our Vatican guide, had lots of inside info, although I feel we literally ran thru the Vatican museum. I somehow thought we were going to St. Peter's Basilica, but it was not part of the tour.
The train rides were supremely comfortable and we had no problems finding our car and seats due to the detailed info Kimkim provided.
Our Pompei excursion with Vincenzo was particularly fun for me because so much more has been unearthed since my last visit.
Our cooking classes with Lily in Rome and Leonardo in Florence were particularly fun for the girls. They learned a lot and we had delicious meals to boot.
Daniela, our guide in Florence, was excellent and highlighted and explained some of the pertinent history that makes Florence so unique.
Rita guided us in Venice, a magical city if there ever was one. She made the narrow passageways seem not so daunting and definitely hit the highlights. Gianmarco took us to Burano and Murano and explained why these islands are so special. He was patient and kind even when we were late getting back to the boat.
All our accomodations were clean, safe, and very well located. It made getting around these crowded places pretty easy to navigate especially with the embedded links to maps.
Diliana, Erica, and Grant all checked in during the trip to see if things were going smoothly and it was comforting to know they were only a text away and response time was almost instantaneous.
I must say I was quite nervous before the trip that all guides and drivers were where they should be at the right time and I shouldn't have worried.
Thanks, Kimkim for your attention to detail and excellent and thoughtful planning. I have already been recommending Kimkim to others and will continue to do so. You have provided my granddaughters with fantastic memories.
