We really enjoyed seeing three distinct parts of Thailand, Bangokok, Koh Sumai, and Chang Mai. Leena, our guide in Bangkok, was great and listened to our feedback. We didn't have a guide in Koh Sumai. Our guide in Chaing Mai, Lilly, was also wonderful and provided a lot of interesting information about the areas we visited. If I had to change anything about the intinerary, I would trade one day in Koh Sumai for another day in Chaing Mai. The accomodations we stayed at thoughout the trip were very comfortable and nice quality. It was a good mixture of a guided and self-led vacation.

5/5 Stars – An Unforgettable Travel Experience!

We couldn’t have asked for a better trip planner than Hector at Spiritu Travel! From start to finish, Hector went above and beyond to make sure our vacation was seamless, stress-free, and truly unforgettable. He was extraordinarily patient, took the time to answer every single question we had, and even jumped on phone calls with us multiple times before our trip to walk through the itinerary and make sure every detail was covered.

The Spiritu Travel app was an absolute game-changer, putting our complete itinerary, travel details, and key information right at our fingertips whenever we needed it.

Every excursion and local guide Hector booked for us was top-tier, exceptionally professional, and always right on time. On top of that, the private transports Hector arranged were wonderful—the drivers were incredibly friendly, highly knowledgeable, and made getting around a breeze.

Thanks to Hector and Spiritu Travel, we enjoyed every single minute of our trip. We are already looking forward to booking our next adventure with Hector and cannot recommend him highly enough!

The additional experiences included a private cheese and wine tasting with a Sommelier in Annecy (Jennifer), a private pontoon boat tour on Lake Annecy with Fondue (Gael), a private tour of the old town (Aude) a private tour of the Patek Phillipe Museum in Geneva (with Siggy), and a private tour of artisanal cheese making in Gruyere, a chocolate factory tour, and a driving tour around Montreux that included wine tasting in the UNESCO World Heritage site (with Emmanuel). The guides were impeccable in their knowledge and getting to know us to help personalize the tours. We especially want to single out Aude for her knowledge of Annecy and the ability to simplify the complex history of the area, and Emmanuel, who made us feel like friends from the moment we met, and who altered the tour in real time based on our interests. All of the drivers were on time and easily contacted for any time changes we requested. We are looking forward to planning our next adventure with KimKim. We will refer our friends to KimKim to develop itineraries to exactly match their desires.

We had some ideas of where we would enjoy visiting in Atlantic Canada and Ryan drew up a great itinerary which suited us very well. We especially enjoyed Peggy's Cove (complete with someone playing an Alphorn!).
Our food tour guide, Margaret, in PEI, gave us an in-depth and interesting history of the Island which accompanied our eclectic food samplings.
Getting out on the ocean for the whale watching and the tall ship tour was a plus - the air was wonderful. The restaurant recommendations were excellent (seafood galore).

Then he re-routed our rental car pickup in Lofoten to be there when we disembarked, saving us from expensive taxi rides.

And finally, he showed us around his home island of Vesterhålen when we realized how close we were. It was a treat to meet him after so much electronic correspondence, and even better to get a personal guide for a bit.

He booked everything for us and gave us all our trip information in the app as well as in a PDF for easy reference. But most importantly, he was extremely responsive when we were on the trip and needed help or had questions. For example, we were notified the night before that a whole-day tour we had booked was cancelled due to weather. We reached out to Laurent, he got on the phone with us to give us some options and by the next morning we were booked on a whitewater rafting trip that was a highlight of our trip! All of the hotels he booked and restaurants he suggested were a perfect match for what we were looking for.

We are a family of four (two adults and a teenage boy and girl) and all of us had an amazing time during our stay in Morocco, thanks to the thoughtful itinerary Maryem put together and everyone involved in making us feel so welcome. Ismail, our driver, deserves special mention: he made us feel safe on every journey, shared wonderful insights along the way, and was always thoughtful about the family's comfort, whether making quick stops or offering guidance on the best places to eat and shop.

One of the highlights of the trip was our cooking class. The preparation was outstanding, the family who hosted us was so welcoming, the food was delicious, and the dining room setting was stunning. We spent a beautiful afternoon sharing stories and learning together over a wonderful meal.

Our camping stay in the Agafay desert was stunning and exactly the right change of pace after a couple of lively days in Marrakech. And our time in Essaouira offered a perfect retreat of sea, sand, and culture at a more relaxed rhythm. Ismail's recommendations there were excellent, and we loved strolling along the beach each evening on our way back to the Riad.

The accommodations Maryem selected were wonderful — beautiful, clean, and perfectly sized for the whole family. Breakfast at every hotel and Riad was delicious and the perfect start to each day.

In short, our five days in Morocco were truly unforgettable. The locations, accommodations, activities, and people who made it all possible were absolute top class, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to this incredible part of the world.

I'll definitely trust Kim Kim again for future travels — whether back to Morocco or elsewhere. Thank you!

It was a Norwegian restaurant with a hunting vibe. I don't remember the name of the restaurant.

The hotel in Bergen was so worth it! We hung out in the great lobby, and the bartender, Anders, was so friendly! We even checked out the sauna in the basement - my girls have never checked out the sauna.

The towns we visited were wonderful! Ålesund was beautiful and we enjoyed their art museum. The Art Nouveau buildings were fantastic! Thanks to your local contact here, we arranged to stay an extra day because we missed the Fjord boat - poor planning on our part. Geirangerfjord was so worth it - even though we had to buy another trip and another hotel night. Loved every minute of it!

I could probably have done without the giant Jet ski ride - would rather have kayaked. The guide though was a good driver and very friendly. I would add that the tourists in Alesund along with the locals did stare a lot at my daughter - she's from New York and an alternative dresser! - but I did read on Reddit that the smaller towns have a "staring problem", haha.

Oslo was a great city - enjoyed the Munch museum so much! (Nobody stared either) I think it is my new favorite museum! Kristina steered us to a less-traveled part of the main drag, and we found an amazing Italian restaurant. It was fun being there during the World Cup as well! We captured some amazing photos - both my daughters are wonderful photographers. I'll try to send you a link to my album!

My weeklong trip to Croatia with two friends was spectacular! Everything about Croatia far exceeded our expectations and this was largely due to, Laurent, our KimKim travel agent.

We biked around Korcula, visited a local winery, and spent the day on Mjlet Island riding bikes around the stunning lake. Mjlet National Park is one of the most beautiful spots I've ever seen. Laurent made every aspect of our trip easy and stress free. From arranging all of the transportation logistics, making dinner reservations at delicious restaurants, booking us in amazing boutique hotels, arranging all of our activities, and being available to help us 24/7, Laurent was a true gift. I cannot say enough about what a fabulous experience we had with the KimKim team. Thank you for making our holiday so special!

It ended up being too windy so the Blue Cave boat trip was canceled. We did a rafting trip on the Cetina River outside of Omiš as an alternative. It was amazing!

We had the most amazing trip to Belgium and could not have done it without the planning and organization done by Lisa. We traveled with my mother-in-law (74) and daughter (8) and each activity was tailored to the group perfectly. The transportation set up to and from the Spa Grand Prix was exceptional, considering the amount of people. Highly recomend using them for any trip! Read more
