We had a truly wonderful trip. Our trip planner, Eric was fantastic with getting us set up on the excursions we wanted to go on and they were all fantastic. The zodiac boat tour was a favorite for the whole family but there wasn’t one thing we did that everyone didn’t enjoy.

Our favorite hotel was Magma Hotel. It was one of those “wow” moments where we were so grateful we had book through KimKim because it’s not a place we would have found on our own. The same was true for the other places we stayed.

One of the best location suggestions we got was Stykkishólmur. We absolutely loved the quaint authentic Icelandic town with all its simple beauty. And we had what our kids said was the best dinner they had ever had in their whole life in that town. It was Sjavarpakkhusid by the water. They had 4 entre dishes on the entire menu and perfection was an understatement. The dessert was equally as impressive. We will never forget that town and our favorite restaurant.

The only problem with the trip is that we couldn’t possibly see everything we would have wanted to see in the 8 days we had. A truly epic trip.

This was my second trip using KimKim but my partner’s first one. He was blown away and I believe he is a new believer in using KimKim rather than doing all of his own trip planning. Truly wonderful experience from start to finish. Thank you, Eric!

Not only where they fabulous in the planning stages, but they also were there for us when we needed them in Iceland to make changes or to adjust parts of our trip.

What I appreciated the most was how attentive Diana and her team were while we were on our trip. We could easily contact the team to ask questions, and they responded back very quickly. They were very accomodating of our requests. And best of all was the very personalized gift that they provided to us when we arrived in Portugal.
Overall, this was an amazing trip curated by Diana and Across Portugal, and would highly recommend them for anyone planning a trip to this amazing country.

Hotel was very spacious and comfortably accomodated our family of four. Really liked how it was close to hiking trails and had 2 big pools for our family to choose from. The kids especially appreciated the pool that had sand to mimic the beach. The decor felt a little bit gaudy / overdone. Also, if you're looking to be closer to the beaches or to the main town, may not be the best location as it requires a drive. Least favorite part of this hotel was the food and service at the restaurant. We had a buffet dinner the first night, and the food was not very good and overpriced. Staff also during dinner were not particularly friendly. Buffet breakfast was decent, but again, I would have expected more from such a nice hotel and for the price.

Favorite hotel during our stay! Plenty of space for a family of four. Very nice accomodations. Centrally located, easy to walk to many of the main tourist attractions. Also close to many restaurants. One complaint though around safety. One of the tiles on the wall next to the bathtub fell off the wall during our stay. Fortunately, no one was in the bathtub at the time, however, it could have been a major issue as our kids were often using the bathtub and could have led to a serious injury. Appreciated how they had onsite breakfast

Great experience with a local guide! Ricardo was really good at taking this at the pace we needed for our family. Very knowledable tour guide. Appreciated the individualized attention. Suggest you confirm which palaces you will be going to. We visited the Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira which were both great. Kids especially liked Auinta da Regaleira since they were able to run around the grounds and do more exploring and it didn't feel as crowded as Pena Palace. Just make note though that we did not get to visit the Moorish Castle, National Palace or Mosserate Palace - we were ok with that, but just need to make sure you're ok with not seeing those as well.

Everything that kimkim helped me with was wonderful. The only this is the shuttle from airport. They give you 1hr to show up but we all know that unboarding a big plane and going thru all the checks is at least 1.5hrs. So our private shuttle left the airport. I’m not sure how much money that was wasted on us but I was kinda sad about that part.

- The pottery class in the Sacred Valley was lovely and a family favorite activity.
- Visiting the Misminay community felt special and intimate.
- Another favorite activity was Piuray Lake; Carolina was one of the kindest people we met and while boating and paddle boarding was great, the meal and sitting by the lake painting the bulls is something we all remarked how enjoyable it was. In fact, my husband and I commented how lucky we are to be traveling with a little one because we're not sure we would've done that part of the activity otherwise. At one point, our little one ran off and went back to painting her bull while we sat and talked over our meal and drinks. It was perfection!
- My daughter tells everyone that her favorite activity was the horseback riding. We are SO thankful to Javier and his guys for helping make this happen.

Above all else, we could not be more thrilled with Guido and Christian. They were both incredible!
Guido went above and beyond for us, was so knowledgeable and passionate, and truly became a friend on this journey. While everyone was incredible, I'm not sure that our experience would've been quite the same without him. He is a gem and I'd recommend him to friends and family without reservation!

The service at breakfast in the mornings wasn't consistently spectacular; perhaps, coming from Tambo del Inka, is why the breakfast spread and service fell flat (their's is far superior). The bar was wonderful and the Pisco class was fantastic. On our final night we brought down a deck of cards and ordered drinks and some food. It was the perfect, relaxed experience!

Another fantastic recommendation from Clemens and the team! We absolutely loved this hotel and would happily stay here again. It was incredibly family-friendly, and our kids had a blast. The pool was a huge hit, and the arcade machine in the room was such a fun and unexpected touch. The bunk beds were another favorite—they made the stay extra special for our kids. The rooms were spacious and worked perfectly for our family of four. The views were absolutely stunning, and Wengen itself is such a charming town. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and made us feel right at home throughout our stay. The only minor drawback was that there isn't air conditioning, so it was a bit warm during our summer visit. Fortunately, the hotel provided fans, which helped make it somewhat comfortable. Overall, this was a wonderful stay, and we'd love to come back in the winter to experience Wengen in a completely different season!

This is a modern apartment-style stay where everything—from check-in to guest services—is handled online, so there isn't a traditional front desk. I was a little hesitant about that at first, but it ended up being an awesome experience. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of everything—and the restaurant/bar downstairs was a huge bonus. We enjoyed several great breakfasts and excellent coffee there, and it quickly became one of the highlights of our trip. The property has a fun, hip, and modern vibe with lots of character, which made it feel unique compared to a standard hotel. The only downside was that the A/C struggled a bit during the extreme heat we experienced, but it wasn't enough to take away from an otherwise excellent stay. A special shoutout to Clemens and the team—they absolutely knocked it out of the park with this recommendation!

Zürich

This was a fantastic tour and a great way to experience Zurich beyond the modern city center. It introduced us to the historic parts of the city and helped us appreciate Zurich's rich history in a way we definitely would have missed on our own. Without this tour, I think our impression of Zurich would have been that it was just another modern city. Instead, we came away with a much deeper understanding of the city's character, its history, and even Swiss culture as a whole. One of the best parts of the experience was having a knowledgeable local guide. It was wonderful to be able to ask questions about what it's really like to live in Zurich and Switzerland. Those personal insights made the tour feel authentic and memorable.

This was an amazing travel day, and everything was perfectly arranged by Clemens and the team. The train ride was smooth, scenic, and one of the highlights of our trip. The luggage transfer service was absolutely worth it. It was so nice to relax on the train without having to worry about hauling our suitcases from place to place. We traveled with just two small backpacks, and our luggage was waiting for us when we arrived at our destination. It made the entire journey so much more enjoyable. A big thank you to Clemens for recommending this service! The boat ride on Lake Brienz was absolutely beautiful and the perfect complement to the train journey. Between the stunning scenery and the stress-free travel, this route exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this itinerary to anyone planning a trip to Switzerland!

Absolutely amazing experience, truly. One of those trips where we wish we had an extra day in each city!

Flam was our favorite, and I'm really happy Kadri recommended staying there. Most people just do a day trip I realize, and they are missing out. The flaoting sauna was the biggest hit. We all loved the zipline but loved the bike ride back even more.

Voss was a fantastic experience. The team at Outdoor Norway was amazing. Mohan was a great guide. We saw one of the employees later at a park and he even helped teach the kids some parkour moves! I wish I remembered his name, all I know is that he is from Spain.

Bergen is a beatiful city. Maria was a great guide, made it fun even in the rain!

Kadri's team was exceptional. Quick responses. Easy set up. Everything was at our fingertips and instruction were crystal clear. I didn't have to worry about a thing!

Thank you all for a lifetime of memories!

It was also lovely to hear how much you enjoyed your time in Voss. Mohan and the Outdoor Norway team are fantastic, and the story about one of their team members teaching your kids parkour afterward is such a wonderful example of the genuine warmth they bring to every experience.
I'm so glad Maria made your time in Bergen enjoyable, even with the rain. She has a wonderful way of bringing the city to life.

Thank you as well for your kind words about my team and thank you again for trusting us with your Norway adventure. It was a pleasure putting this journey together for your family, and I hope we'll have the opportunity to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!

This was our first experience with a guide service. Previously we had planned our own excursions. The KimKim model is interesting and attractive: they offer a catalogue of possible activities, based on prior positive traveler experiences-- you are free to pick and choose among alternatives (or add your own). Given your interests, budget and time constraints, KimKim plans a customized trip itinerary. We found this met our needs to perfection!

We found KimKim's approach to financial disclosure to be opaque and frustrating. Since we could not 'price' individual activities, it made price/value choices more difficult and frustrating. Additionally, the service was expensive. When we became too ill to travel 10 days before our trip in 2025, we had good reason to reconsider our financial frustrations--KimKim took care of everything! They cancelled all our bookings and gave us a 100% credit. This year they rebooked our trip consistent with our new travel dates.

Our 10 day trip around Iceland's 850 mile Ring Road was a total delight! Our 'virtual guide', Gudmundur (Gummi) Oli, provided us with a detailed daily itinerary including travel distance/travel time, points of interest/activities, and a recommendation of how long to spend at each location in order to keep the day manageable. Gummi's planning was so meticulous that we had very few questions, but we found him available in a matter of minutes by phone or WhatsApp and it was clear he took a keen personal interest in making sure we had a wonderful trip. We did! His dining recommendations at the end of each day resulted in some of the best meals we have had in decades of international travel!

We would highly recommend KimKim to travelers who want the freedom of an independent vacation without the burden of pre-trip research and logistics planning. Each day of whale watching, ice caving, whitewater rafting, and more unfolded without a glich! It was a vacation we will treasure for a lifetime!

We also loved the big windows to maximize the views. Staff was super attentive and kind. We did a horseback ride with Nelson - such a great guide. Not only did he give a lot of explanation about the area, he also taught us how to ride better. We had dinner at the lodge (a set menu), and it was probably one of our favorite dinners on the trip.

Not much to be excited about, except the waterhole. The rooms need renovated, the restaurant needs better chefs, and the property needs better staff. We arrived (early!) for the afternoon game drive that was booked for us, only to get told it was overbooked and we couldn't do it. All they offered was a spot on the next afternoon's game drive. It wasn't until we contacted our travel agent that they came up with a better offer to compensate for their error. We were "lucky" to be staying two nights, but if we only had one night, we would have been out of luck! It's nice to be able to stay inside the park, and seeing the animals at the waterhole (especially at night) is amazing, but the rest is just bad.
