Our trip to the Galapagos was fantastic. The KimKim team, Tamer and Nick, did an excellent job in planning the itinerary and checking in with us throughout the journey. If an issue arose, they were quick to address it and resolve it. The excursions on the various islands were excellent and worthwhile.

Hotel Review
Napo Wildlife Center
Quito

The Napo Wildlife Center is located in a remote location in the rainforest. The cabanas are nicely appointed and clean. The staff and food were excellent. The goal of the team is to make sure you enjoy yourselves and the jungle experience. They deliver in all aspects. The guides were knowledgeable and were able to point out amazing birds, animals, insects, etc. that we would never have seen. I highly recommend Napo.

We really enjoyed the trip to Rainbow Mountain. The scenery is very good however the hike is very difficult due to the elevation. I think it is critical to advise your customers that this is a very difficult hike due to the elevation. My wife was not able to make it up to the top and we saw many others having great difficulty.

Colonial City tour was good and the guide was knowledgeable. Cooking class was disappointing as the chef did a majority of the cooking instead of letting us participate. Food was good good, however. Our visit to the Middle of the World Monument was good and informative.

We did not really care for our trip to Otavalo Market....... It was a long drive to see a very average touristy market. Due to the long drive, we were not overly impressed with Cuicocha Lake.
