Paul organised our trip, he was patient, very well informed and experienced in helping us to reach agreement to meet all our requirements for the holiday.
It was mainly focused on winery visits. However we had 3 days first in Buenos Aires, where we had two city tours with lovely guide Maria, and two evenings organised , one at the specular Fogon Restaurant and the other at Tango Rojo at Faena Hotel. Everything was perfect for us.
We then flew to Mendoza and met our new guide the delightful Augostina. We visited 4 wineries but the visit to Matervine Winery was the highlight of our Mendoza trip. We enjoyed a beautiful gourmet lunch at Susana Balbo Restaurant. Everything was organised with precision and once more it was perfect for us.
We then flew to Santiago where we were met by guide Roberto and driver Francesco. We had a three hour flight delay and they were so understanding it made a difficult day easier for us. Roberto spent the next 4 days with us. While travelling to and from the 7 wineries he shared all the information possible on the Country of Chile. The economy, the culture, the politics, the history, education, agriculture, industry, geography etc, etc.. He was so informative, a truly lovely man to share our experience with. The best guide we have ever had. The highlight of the Chilean wineries was Montes. A great tour. We also spent a lovely day with Roberto visiting Valparaiso and Vina del Mar.
As mature travellers we believe that leaving the organising to a professional tour operator like Kimkim gave us peace of mind and made travel much less stressful.
