We had a dream Scotland vacation thanks to the kimkim experts!

Jun 12 - Jun 24, 2023
My husband and I had a wonderful Scotland experience thanks to kimkim! It was our first time to Europe so planning a two week excursion myself was daunting. I sent an explanation of what type of things we wanted to do and see and William curated a whole trip just for us!
The communication was great and I was able to request adjustments and discussed ways to bring the cost closer to our budget.
Then once it was all set up, Marion answered any questions we had prior to the trip. The digital Roadbook they provide is great. It charts out not only the details of the trip but also provides confirmation numbers for each of the bookings and contact numbers for the business. It also outlines the story of where you are visiting. It gives tips and suggestions of what else you can see and do in the area!
There were only a couple of changes along the way, not kimkim's fault but the hotel's challenges, and Marion let us know and instructed on what the alternates were. Any time we had questions or if there were any issues, Marion was there to help us through so we could enjoy our vacation without having to worry about replanning or adjustments!
We are so happy with the locations, accomodations and day tours that were planned out for us. There are so many tourist attractions and since we had never been there before, it was hard to know what is worth going to see and do. William did a fantastic job of matching our style of local and active, plus our love of Outlander, to the selected accommodations and tours.
Prior to booking with kimkim I had read some complaints about the cost of kimkim when the same trip could have been booked for much cheaper yourself. This is true...but the point is...through this service you don't to have to do any of that yourself. You are paying for someone else to do it all for you. I did not have the time to reasearch everything and I didn't have the knowledge to pick locations and accommodations that I can be confident would be worth our time and money. Plus you don't have to deal with the potential stress of having to make changes while on your trip or feeling like you lost time with lame bookings that didn't live up to the marketing.
Through using the kimkim service, with William and Marion that were experts on Scotland, we ended up with a well planned trip with fantastic guides, experiences and locations that we will remember for a lifetime.
Hotel Reviews
The host of this accommodation was so welcoming and friendly! The location and view from the room was wonderful. It was walking distance to shopping and some cool attractions. I would absolutely stay here again!
My husband and I are not usually ones to pay a lot for our accommodations because we are rarely there. We just need a clean place to sleep. However staying in this hotel for a night was a treat. The building is absolutely breathtaking and has an old world feel. So classy. The room had everything we needed and was beautiful and comfortable. Rumour has it that Elton John had stayed there. :-)
This is a small local feeling B&B. The staff were so friendly and the breakfast was delicious. It was a cozy location where you can't help but meet and chat with other guests. The location is perfectly close to downtown and parks and attractions such as the distillery.
Dear Tiffiny,
Thank you very much for your extended review! William and I took great pleasure in building this tailor made trip to Scotland. We wanted to make sure that you would have both active experiences with the paddleboarding in Glencoe and cultural discoveries with some private guided tour in Skye or at the Culloden Battlefield. We hope that you had a great time and that you enjoyed the warm welcome of scots !
We hope to help you plan your next trip,
Best regards,
Marion
