We worked with Michael through Kim Kim to plan a 15 day trip to Colombia with our family and we had a wonderful time! As we were travelling with three young kids (all 6 and under) we found Michael to be very receptive and attentive to modifying our itinerary as needed to make our travels as smooth as possible. He planned an excellent trip allowing us to hit many highlights including Solento and the Corcora Valley, Medellin and Guatape, Tayrona, Minca, Cartagena, and Isla Murcura! We appreciated his honest advice for locations to arrange booked tours (as this is not something we usually do). The guides we had were fabulous and very helpful to have as we found English was often quite limited. Jose, Andreas, Rosa and Fabiola were wonderful to meet and very warm and welcoming. We had very smooth transportation and Michael went above and beyond to arrange to carseats for the kids which are very hard to find in Colombia. Our accommodations were comfortable and often very spacious for a family of 5! Another highlight for the very end of our trip was a communal meal in Bogota with 321 Colombia where we had a delicious dining experience to try an array of local dishes. Throughout our trip Michael was always available and helpful and able to answer questions which came up! This was our second experience travelling with Kim Kim and we were very impressed again!

Medellin

We only stayed two nights but this was our favourite hotel in Columbia! It has a beautiful lobby that makes you feel like you are in a library, refreshing drinks for the hot weather, spacious and comfortable rooms, complementary laundry and a rooftop pool! Would highly recommend!
