Our Portugal Trip was well planned and coordinated by the Kim Kim Travel Team. The pre-planning and guidance provided byJoão and his team prior our trip was excellent. From the time we arrived in Lisbon till our departure from Porto, the Kim Kim Team was there to guide us through all stages of our travel itinerary. The Kim Kim Team from João, Pepe, Rafa, Ivo and Roberto et al were fantastic. They were on time, very knowledgeable and accommodated changes to our travel plans as we made our way by road from Lisbon to Porto. We felt very safe and comfortable on our road trips. We had a great time in Lisbon, Sintra, Alcobaca, Coimbra, Aviero, Duoro Valley and Porto. Our Duoro Valley River Cruise was very relaxed as we enjoyed the unusually warm spring weather.
The Kim Kim Team made our travels very relaxed and were there to meet any last minute requests. The team was on time and maintained our schedule efficiently. There was a very personal touch included as well when we had a home dinner arranged in Porto. Many thanks to Ivo and his team (and Ivo's parents). Holidays are not just about seeing new places and gaining new experiences but it is also about making new friends. We achieved all of this and much more on our Portugal Travels with Kim Kim. Well Done to the Kim Kim Team.

Our Home Dinner in a family environment was a fantastic experience. We were made to feel at home and become part of the family. We learned a little more about family life and values in Portugal. Home cooked meals are anytime more enjoyable than dining in restaurants. Sharing our experiences with Ivo and his parents was one of the highlights of our Portuguese experience.
