We are so happy we used Kim Kim in partnership with Responsible Travel to plan our school’s excursion to Ecuador. It was a pleasure working with Tammer, who oversaw our entire trip and whose attention to detail goes unmatched by any other travel company. He made sure we always had exceptional lodging, punctual private transportation, delicious meals, and the friendliest tour guides to work with our students. By the end of the trip, it was like Tammer was a true part of our Forman family!

Our tour guide for the Galapagos Islands, Legendary Wilson, was fantastic and always went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience while there. He taught us so much about the history of the islands and Charles Darwin, as he led us on snorkeling, hiking, and sightseeing adventures. We saw every form of wildlife we were promised!

Our tour guide in Quito, Sebastian, made Ecuadorian history and culture come alive for us as we explored the city on a walking tour, participated in an authentic cooking class, and visited el Mitad del Mundo. It is sometimes hard to keep high school students engaged, but Sebastian made it look easy with his easy nature and funny stories.

We HIGHLY recommend using Kim Kim & Responsible Travel for your next travel expedition. You will not be disappointed!

Thank you so much, John! Your review is priceless and I cannot be grateful enough for the opportunity of working with you and Brooke, and making sure this trip was perfect and left everlasting memories for each one in the group! Such a privilege! Sebastian and Wilson will be extremely happy when I convey to them your valuable feedback, they did a great job indeed. As for me, the honor of having my name printed on the back of the trip T-shirts saying 'It's Tamer Time' meant the world to me... Read more

It doesn't stop here, I feel as if I'm part of the Forman family, and thus next year's trip will be spectacular in its own characteristics! And I'll see you again :)
Yours,
