5 stars for an Australian vacation amazingly planned by Samantha, Alejandra, and Lea!
Quick back story, our son decided last minute to study abroad in Sydney. As the saying goes, “fruit doesn’t fall from the tree”, so we too decided last minute to visit. I began researching and quickly became overwhelmed. As a referral from a friend, we tried kimkim. I went online, set a budget and filled out a questionnaire. The actual next day, I had a call with Samantha. Soon after, we had an itinerary including airport transports, hotels, activities, flights, rental cars- you name it.
Once we arrived in Sydney, we were randomly selected for customs and were running behind- I had a missed call (had my phone on silent) and message from Alejandra that our driver was waiting for us. Because we went to Australia right after the busy season, a couple tours we had booked were canceled. Alejandra immediately had solutions and took care of the details for us. This service and care is priceless!
We toured Sydney, climbed the harbor bridge and had a delightful sunset cruise. The itinerary had built in time to meet up with our kids and see what life as a student in Sydney looks like.
My husband and I flew to Cairns, transferred to Port Douglas to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef and visit the Daintree rainforest. The tours Samantha and Alejandra set up for us were out of this world and so memorable.
After Cairns, we flew to Brisbane and drove to Byron Bay to meet up with our kids for some much needed beaching (cocktails and wondering too).
If you are on the fence or overwhelmed like I was, reach out to kimkim. They will tailor your trip to you and will handle all of the little glitches that come along with great adventures. 5 stars- absolutely recommend!
Hotel Reviews
Located in Darling Harbor- perfectly central to the harbor and beautiful neighborhoods like Surry Hills. We limed (bikes) to Circular Quay and all through Sydney. The hotel was chic and had amazing breakfast, rooftop pool and bar.
When you meet the hotel host, you will understand why this hotel is great! She was the hostess with the mostess host with so many tips amd tricks, recommendations, amd perhaps the most friendly and helpful woman in all the land.
Our favorite! Walking distance from the heart of town and the beaches. Majorly updated to a cool, beachy vibe. Super comfortable and clean.
Thank you so much for the lovely review and for trusting us with such a fun, family trip, Corinne and Tim! I really, truly enjoyed working with such a spontaneous, adventurous family, and I'm so glad that Lea, Alejandra, and I were able to help take the stress of planning and managing off your plate.
We hope to see you back here again with kimkim! 🌏
