Kimkim Trip Reviews

Our ladies only trip to Brazil organized by Bruno, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Everything was perfectly planned — from the Christ the redeemer of Rio to the breathtaking Iguazu Falls and the incredible adventure in the Amazon.
In Rio de Janeiro, our guide Marcelo was good. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and full of local insights. From visiting iconic landmarks like Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain to exploring the beaches.
At Iguazu Falls, we had the pleasure of being guided by Joan and Chris. They coordinated everything seamlessly on both the Brazilian and Argentine sides, ensuring we didn’t miss a single viewpoint.
Finally, in the Amazon, our guide Leo was outstanding. His deep knowledge of the rainforest’s wildlife and ecosystems made every hike and boat ride fascinating. He was patient, fun, and made us feel safe while exploring such a wild and beautiful environment. We watched the sunrise, sunset and even moon rise.
Overall, Bruno did an amazing job organizing every detail. The trip ran smoothly from start to finish, and every guide went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. I highly recommend this team to anyone planning to explore Brazil

Everything about my trip to Japan was exceptionally well-organized from start to finish. I loved every part of the experience, every site I visited and every city I explored, from Tokyo through Osaka and Kyoto to Kanazawa. It was a smooth, well balanced schedule with a lot of thought put into this itinerary. All the tour guides were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. In general, it was an unforgettable journey which exceeded all my expectations.

I'm giving this hotel a lower score only because it didn't quite live up to my personal expectations. I usually book boutique or upscale hotels for myself, so this was a little different for me. That said, the staff was super professional and friendly, which I greatly appreciated.

I want to give Sebastian a great thank you for the places we saw on this trip. The local guides were very helpful in raising both our knowledge and experience of Paris and the two wine regions we visited.

Hello Liz and team mates,
Joan Carson and I wrote the review together that Joan submitted. I joined the planning late when Joan had much of it organized. We made a few changes together after I signed on- fine tuning actually not substantive. I can tell you that I fully share the points made in our full response. We were fine with the arrangements you suggested, lined up and that were so sensitive to our wishes. You informed us promptly about items that needed to be adjusted because of the tour company and we found an alternative that worked out fine. Had we needed more support during the trip, you were right there for us. Thanks so much,
Pat

Not sure what you mean by this question. The hotel was definitely a 4 star. We did love the smiling lion at the entrance.

We walked into town across the beautiful bridges. I would not call it a short walk but a short taxi ride if one is not looking for a walk.

Coped well with our intermediate French skill. Very helpful with information, reservations and suggestions. Staff in the restaurant also great. Fantastic breakfast buffet and all else we ate there. Its great to have a good restaurant and bar option on site at the end of a long day of walking, using the metro and absorbing the culture.

We walked many steps that day but thoroughly enjoyed. See full report for details.






For our part, we realize that planning should have begun earlier — probably 6 months in advance, because certain tours, hotels, etc were already booked. Nevertheless, Judy was terrific and resourceful, getting back to us quickly despite the challenges of being in different time zones. Our goals (arts and hands-on) were different from those of a typical tourist; Judy was good at accommodating them. We could have used more advice about the differences in those programs, so we researched them on our own. That meant we had to request additional things and changes as we learned about them.

Also, we made a scheduling error, not realizing that the flight arrived the day after it began, so Judy had to adjust our bookings to accommodate this. We threw her an extra challenge by asking her to add a day-trip to Hamamatsu for a family visit. Also, a freak accident on the take-off of our flight to Tokyo caused us to be re-routed through Europe, hence losing another day. Altogether, this meant our proposed 14 day trip had to be jammed into a shorter number of days. Upon retrospect, even without these unexpected adjustments, we should have allowed ourselves three weeks to do everything we wanted to do and to give ourselves more time for exploring on our own. An open day in each city would have been preferable and made for a more relaxed trip.

Tour guides - Guides in Tokyo and Kanazawa were excellent and flexible. However, Michiko (Kyoto), though eager to please was less well-informed and had weaker English. She was too focused on Samurai/Shogun history and wanted to take too many photos of us. We were surprised that her tour involved walking and buses, which worked out fine, but we were surprised as we expected a driver in each location unless specified.

Workshops and presentations - Our first workshop (sushi making) was a disaster. We were told to get there on our own by local train, but had no previous instruction about how to navigate. When we arrived at the address we were given, there was no signage and no staff there to greet us, so we didn’t know if we were in the right place. After contacting Judy, we discovered that the company had made a scheduling error, which they corrected as quickly as possible. The workshop was ok in spite of the space with was filthy with cigarette butts and used cups on the table. Looking online afterwards, we saw that there were many other sushi workshops that might have been better choices.

The other workshops were all excellent: washi paper making, dyeing, the artisan visit (embroidery), and an unscheduled visit to a gold leaf workshop that our guide created since we had extra time.

Transportation - There was a lot of transportation that we had to navigate on our own. We found it quite challenging, especially at first. We would have benefited from more advance information about how to manage the different systems and locations (some with QR codes, some with one ticket, some with two tickets). Even after we requested more direction from Judy, we still found it difficult. Fortunately, we were assisted by train station personnel or sympathetic travelers or residents who saw us struggling and shepherded us to the right place.

Hotels - Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka were excellent; the hotel in Kanazawa was fair (amenities were better than we thought at first due to a communication problem). Still, the room was very small and one side of the bed was against the wall.

Due to the popularity of Naoshima, we were booked in Okayama, which required a ferry ride each way. There too one side of the bed was against the wall. Although it was advertised as a beachfront facility. In fact it was a block or two from the waterfront (not a beach) and overlooked a bicycle track. There was a night race one of the nights we were there, which was unique.

Judy was an excellent planner, responding cheerfully under a number of challenging circumstances. It would have been helpful to be advised about how realistic it was to see so much in a short time, especially given our age. Although we’re in good shape for our ages we are in our 80s. As mentioned above, we needed more assistance with independent train travel. It would also have been helpful to have advice about restaurants near our various hotels. We were told that the guides could help us, but they had no more knowledge than what they or we could find online.

Our trip to Morocco was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was incredible — the sights, the experiences, and especially the people who made it all possible.

Hassan, the owner of Under Moroccan Sun, made planning our trip so easy and stress-free. He responded quickly to every question and detail, no matter how small, and made sure everything was perfectly arranged before we even arrived. His professionalism and care gave us total peace of mind throughout the planning process.

Once we arrived, our driver, Ismail, made the journey truly exceptional. He was spectacular — kind, attentive, and always going above and beyond. He paid close attention to every detail, ensuring we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying every moment. His knowledge, warmth, and genuine care turned a wonderful trip into something truly extraordinary.

We can’t thank Hassan and Ismail enough for making this such a memorable experience. If you’re thinking about visiting Morocco, Under Moroccan Sun is the way to go — they made our dream trip a reality!

We had an amazing experience working with Bruno to plan our trip to Rio, Iguazu Falls, and the Amazon. From start to finish, he was professional, responsive, and attentive to every detail. Bruno always replied quickly to our questions and made sure all our requests were fulfilled — from hotel preferences to excursions and transfers. Everything ran smoothly, and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip.

We truly appreciated his organization and friendly communication. Highly recommend Bruno for anyone planning a trip to Brazil!

We had the most amazing trip to Valladolid and several historical sites in the area. Highly recommend!

WE had several guides throughout our trip. Vivianna was very knowledgeable and thorough. The lunch at the tortoise reserve was quite outstanding, Edwin was also very knowledgeable, considerate of the age range of our group and a watchful eye during our snorkeling adventure! David was with us for a full plus day touring the Historical District and Middle earth. Again he was very aware of or different ages and capabilities. I think he knew everything about everything Ecuadorian!!
Our trip was challenging because weather delays were responsible for 2 lost days. Maria Jose had to rearrange flights and hotel rooms. She put a best effort forward. She arranged for our lost luggage to be delivered to our hotel in Puerto Arroya! We were all pretty sure we would never see that luggage again. Thank you Majo!!

Incredible! It almost felt too easy before we left, so I was feeling nervous. But Minh had every detail scheduled and then Thuy would message us the day before a transfer with details about a driver, car or flights. We had an incredible time exploring Hanoi and the north area of Vietnam (shoutout to our guide Ha), then Ha Long Bay on a cruise (Dragon Legend), and finally down to Phu Quoc for a beach retreat at Grand Ocean Bay Resort.

If you are on the fence about Vietnam or using kimkim, just do it!

Sri Lanka is a beautiful country with very friendly people. The trip had a nice blend of Tours and trekking. My guide, AJ, did a great job of giving me options for each day. I was even able to hike up Adams Peak!

Alden with get to know Belize was a great guide. Very knowledgeable. Jeffrey lead us during the snorkeling and was also great.

I have to give Alex and Lilia a huge amount of credit for organizing and preparing this trip--they were attentive to our requests and maintained a regular dialogue throughout the process. When we got off the plane into Belize City, Lilia met us outside and told me that there were refreshments in the van for our 1.5 hour drive to Hopkins--this just made us all smile! We loved driving with Camron who used the trips to engage us and tell us about Belize.

I have used KimKim before and based on this trip, will keep going back!

Our girls trip to Morocco was truly the experience of a lifetime! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Yassine did such an amazing job — he responded quickly, was so easy to work with, and took care of every detail. The hotels and riads he chose were beautiful, comfortable, and full of Moroccan charm.
Our driver, Younes, was incredible! He was always on time every morning, looked out for us everywhere we went, and made us feel safe and comfortable the entire trip. He wasn’t just a driver — he was a tour guide, translator, and a friend. His knowledge about Morocco, sense of humor, and positive energy made every day so much fun. He was a big part of what made this trip special.
In Fes, we met our guide Zahra who was fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and funny — we laughed with her all day. It honestly felt like we had known her for years. She had such a special way of connecting with us and bringing the city’s history to life. Spending the day with her was one of the highlights of our trip.
The entire experience went above and beyond our expectations. Everything ran smoothly, we felt cared for every step of the way, and we left Morocco with unforgettable memories and new friends. I can’t recommend this company enough.

We recently completed a cultural tour of Mongolia and had an amazing time. We went to Mongolia outside the peak period at the onset of winter but Crystal managed to put together an amazing itinerary over 13 days.

We travelled to west to stay with Kazak eagle hunters and to the north to stay with the Tsaatan reindeer herders. We also saw natural wonders including the Lake Khovsgol, Jargant river and the wild Takhi horses. A visit to Mongolia wouldn’t be complete without historical sites and memorials

Our guide, Zaya, was excellent, working overtime to make sure we were always comfortable. Zaya’s historical and cultural knowledge were an essential part of the immersive experience.

Travelling in rural Mongolia can be challenging given the sparse landscape and weather conditions. However, Zaya worked tirelessly with our drivers and the local communities to ensure our tour always went smoothly and without issues.

I would definitely recommend a trip to Mongolia with Crystal for anyone looking for an adventurous experience wrapped in a premium tour.

Greece was a wonderful experience. Santorini was fabulous. Vasilios was an incredible guide, so knowledgeable so charming and took us to very interesting places the windmills the seaside, the caves and his knowledge of history was exemplary! Athens: parthenon, wonderfulof course; archaeological museum with our guide Effie superb. she hit all the highlights in just over an hour. Plaka was fun for shopping and grab some incredible bargains for gifts.. Zakinthos was fun bc we had friends there .The Bitzaro Hotel was goodroom was lovely but bathroom lighting was sparse and the bathroom door had to be completely closed before you could access the commode. The Athena Riviera was fabulous. It’s unfortunate that we had to get up at 3 AM and we didn’t arrive there until after 10 and we hadn’t eaten fortunately superb restaurants were 5 to 10 minutes away and we could order in. Perhaps a hotel that wasn’t a 30 minute drive from the airport would be a better choice next time or this would be fine if we had more time to enjoy it. I hear the breakfasts are superb! All in all a wonderful trip.

Our Beautiful Patagonia adventure was outstanding from start to finish. The itinerary was thoughtfully designed, perfectly balancing guided excursions with free time to explore. Every destination—Puerto Natales, and El Calafate—offered incredible scenery, excellent accommodations, and smooth logistics throughout. Though we didn't get to complete El Chaltén due to unexpected weather (wind) advisory, I'm sure it would have been just as well thought out.

The guided hikes in Torres del Paine were unforgettable, especially the trek to Mirador Base Las Torres and the French Valley. The Perito Moreno Glacier ice hike was another once-in-a-lifetime highlight. Each guide was knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about sharing Patagonia’s beauty and culture. Our driver was also intregal though out our trip.

Jimena, Rae, Erin and the Dittmar Adventures team were exceptional—responsive, organized, and attentive to every detail. Thanks to them, our group of 13 had a seamless and truly memorable experience. Highly recommend this itinerary for anyone wanting to explore the best of Patagonia with expert local support.

Doris created a wonderulf experience for my friend and I in Vietnam and Cambodia in October. Our guide Brian in Hanoi was so thorough and helpful in giving us a sense of the city. As well Richard in Ho Chi Minh City shared great information on the history of the area as well as what life is like now Mai in Sapa was a lovely guide showing us around the villages where we were able to see artisans at work as well as wayward water buffaloes. Lena so graciously shared history of Phenom Penh that was difficult and important to hear and see. Finally Dara in Siem Reap was a superb guide giving us a sense of Angkor Wat, the floating villages and other temples. The food was great especially the wonderful XO food tour at night in Ho Chi Minh City. It was an experience I will never forget! Thanks so much!

Thank you for making our trip special for us and customized to our preferences. Jesse took the feedback and incorporated into the plan.
