Melanie was a huge help planning our trip to Italy. All her suggestions and tips were super helpful.
The transfers were all on time and comfortable and the excursions and guides were amazing, especially our Wine Tour in Tuscany.
Planning our trip with KimKim took a lot of pressure and worries out of the process and made our trip that much more enjoyable. During the trip, if we had any questions, Melanie was always just a text away and she always responded immediately.
I would definitely use KimKim again or recommend them to anyone planning a first time trip to Italy.

Italy

The Ferrari museum tour is a fun experience for any car lover. You can take as much time as you like and there are options to do the simulator for an extra cost. I didn’t do it but it looked super fun.

The Accademia and Uffizi gallery tours were excellent. I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy them but I’m so glad we added it to our trip. We had the best guide for the Uffizi tour and I couldn’t imagine going through that gallery without one. There is so much to see but our tour guide gave us all the history behind the museum and showed us all the most important paintings and exhibits. Seeing David in person was surprisingly emotional and he is amazing!

This was one of my favourite experiences of our trip. We had such a great group of people on our tour and the 3 wineries we visited were beautiful. We had a great driver and the whole day was amazing. Highly recommend!

Boat tour along the Amalfi Coast

We had a private cruise along the Amalfi coast. Our driver spoke little English so he was a little difficult to communicate with but we managed. The itinerary was a little different than what was listed. I wish we got to actually get off the boat in Positano but we just cruised by. We only got 20 mins in Amalfi but we had an amazing lunch in Priano at this restaurant called Il Pirata which the company booked for us in advance. We ended up asking to stay there for an extra hour to swim on a Little Rock beach that was so cute otherwise we weren’t sure if we were going to get to swim at all.

I wish the tour had more stops and the boating time was at a quicker pace.

This was a great tour and our guide was amazing. She had a lot of knowledge and made the tour very interesting. It was so cool to learn of all the history behind the Colosseum and the Forum.

Hi Veronica,
thank you so much for such a lovely and detailed review, and what lovely photos of you and your dad and sisters!
It took a little work but we made it exactly how you wanted it and so pleased we added the Uffizi and Accademia at the last minute, definitely sounds like you all enjoyed it!
Really sorry you didn't stop in Positano, as you know from a shared scheduled tour we turned it into a private tour for you all, maybe there was some misunderstanding with the skipper, I'm really...

Hi Veronica,

Really sorry you didn't stop in Positano, as you know from a shared scheduled tour we turned it into a private tour for you all, maybe there was some misunderstanding with the skipper, I'm really sorry about that - maybe it was a sign for you to come back to visit Positano and spend more time this side of the pond!

Thanks again for trusting me with your special holiday and I look forward to helping you book your next trip to Italy!

Ciao from Salerno,
Melanie
