This was the first time we used Kimkim, based on a recommendation by my college classmate. It was great - I chatted back and forth with Aleksandra to customize our vacation just the way we wanted. Then she took care of all the bookings - hotel, transportation, guides, theater tickets, attraction tickets. I usually do the planning for vacations in our family so it was hugely relaxing to not have to be the 'cruise director' on this one. Everything was great, especially the London Black Cab guides, Chris and Jack. We got to see everything we wanted, and had some free time as well.
I like Kimkim because of this customizability - as much or as little planning as you want, the price level you want, and elimination of all the hassle. On big travel events in the future, we will definitely utilized them again.
Hotel Review
Very friendly staff, and an excellent breakfast buffet. We fueled up every morning for adventure. And I confess we all enjoyed the tea / hot chocolate and biscuits in the evening! Housekeeping was also great. My wife loves coming back to a clean room and made bed when we are on the road.
Activity Reviews
Kids loved the tower - they really got into the history, which I was surprised and gratified by. The Beefeaters are of course amazing - don't miss that on the tour.
Had a great trip to Stonehenge. English Heritage did a great job making it fun for the kids as well, with photo ops and the mythical creature hunt. And Bath is just lovely - my favorite town in Britain. The Roman baths tour is awesome, and the whole town is relaxing.
English Heritage does a great job with all the historic sites. Hampton Court is my favorite because of the range of history and the preservation of the artifacts. The audio tour is great, and the cafe was really charming - lunch in the gardens. Don't miss the Great Vine and the gardens.
