Kimkim Trip Reviews

We had an amazing time on our trip the Barcelona and the island of Mallorca. Marina took all of our likes and planned it all. Hiking, biking a Catalan and beaches. I have to say the Trips Plan app was great. It provided loads of directions, suggestions and a chat in case of any questions or complications. Both of our hotels were very nice. In Mallorca in was nestled in a nice small bay that was simply beautiful. Highly recommend Marina.

I'm sure I couldn't have done this trip without the help of Caterina and the other guides. There are certain things I would have done differently, however had I known, and which might be useful for other travellers in the situation of pushing a wheelchair. We almost didn't go to Venice but it was actually much easier in Venice than Florence to get around. I would not go to Florence with a wheelchair again. I would also choose and bring a wheelchair with me and not rent. The one that was rented was very small and difficult both to push and for my mom to sit in. The third thing I would do is to rent 3 double rooms and not 2 triples. We rented the triples as a money saver but it resulted in my mom being in a cot in many places which is okay for a child but not for the elderly. The car and driver were very helpful in many places but at other times we really didn't need them to sit for hours while we were in a museum or even to transport us a few blocks to the museum. It was great for driving around to viewpoints though. All of the tour guides were very flexible, helpful and knowledgeable. I also appreciated having the contact of Roberta at all times which I haven't experienced on previous KimKim trips. Svetlana in Como was relaxed and flexible which allowed us to have some time to just look around. Beatrice was indispensable for getting in and out of Venice smoothly. Alessia, in Venice made the trip for 11 year old Katie, with the costume she brought and the effort she went to to engage her. Alesia's dad even helped taking photos and walking us to a restaurant. They were both so warm and friendly. Cecelia blew our mind pushing the wheelchair around and ensuring my mom's comfort. The driver in Verona was also amazing. Both of them made our stay in Verona our favourite stop on our trip. Barbara in Milano, was super fun and also great at engaging Katie. We had the trip of a lifetime and made unforgettable memories with my mom, whose life long dream of visiting the homeland of her grandparents was finally realized.

The staff at the rooftop lounge were fantastic with my mom - so helpful and kind but the staff at the front desk were useless and didn't seem to have any idea what was going on. We spent hours trying to find a workable solution for my mom. They put us in two rooms with two beds one of which had stairs inside the room and the other of which was up stairs to get to the room. There was a narrow ramp that was okay for luggage but not for a human in a wheelchair.

Trip highlight

We had an amazing 12 day trip in southern Norway, planned by Linda. She arranged all hotels, walking tours, a kayak outing, and transfers and excursions on trains and boats. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. Tour guides in Oslo and Bergen were excellent. Highlights were the Flåm rail ride and fjord cruises, although we enjoyed much of the rest of the countryside too.
Also, museum visits in Oslo and Alesund were informative and enjoyable as well.
Linda was very helpful and available as was her colleague, Tom. We had a couple of hiccups which were quickly remedied. All in all, a great experience that we highly recommend.

Our trip was absolutely amazing, exciting and surprising. Our guide/tour manager, Hicham, was gracious, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable and treated us like family. He took care of every detail, leaving us free to enjoy the experience. He was also extremely helpful when the airline lost all of my luggage, driving us to several airports in an attempt to find it, bringing me to a mall so I could purchase clothing and toiletries, and being generally reassuring. Other people on our flight had missing luggage as well, and I was grateful that I wasn't trying to deal with the situation on my own.

Hicham was a wonderful guide, putting all the sights into a historical context which increased our understanding and appreciation of the many beautiful places we went. I particularly appreciated his patience with our many questions. We honestly could not have asked for a better guide. We'll be sure to ask for him when we return!

She was able to fully reimburse us for the cancelations. My husband and I recommend Camila and KimKim 100%, especially in countries like Bolivia that can be more challenging to navigate independently.

Unfortunately the roads were less maintained than the driver and guide had expected, or seen in their previous travels, so this day ended up taking us 14 hours, getting us to our hotel in Uyuni around 10PM and limiting how much free time we had at each destination (all of about 10min at each site). As two very active, adventurous travelers we found ourselves very restless sitting in a car all day, but I'm not sure how else this could have been planned, since all the sites we wanted to see were spread out.

We spent 12 days in Greece: Athens, Naxos, and Milos. Siena did an excellent job finding accommodations and activities suited to our tastes. Lea was an invaluable resource while we were in-country, helping us make last minute changes as needed to account for the unexpected.

In Athens, the mythology tour of the Acropolis was the perfect way to kick things off. Our guide, Alex, was knowledgeable about the historical fact and fiction and he did a great job making connections to present day topics. Our day trip to Delphi was amazing as well. The private nature of the tour made for great conversation with our driver, Markos, and our guide, Johanna.

Naxos had a nice, low key vibe. We stayed at Glaronissi on Plaka beach, a family owned and operated place that was comfortable and well-maintained. We ate most of our meals at Summer Breeze because everything on the menu was delicious. It didn't hurt that the restaurant was just in front of our hotel, on the way to and from the beach. We did a sea kayaking excursion that took us along 5 miles of beautiful coastline. Our guide, David, provided a mid-morning snack that included cheese, peaches, and olives produced by his family and his neighbors.

Milos was the perfect way to end our trip. We stayed at the luxurious Artemis resort, in a room with a large patio overlooking the Aegean. What a view to wake up to each day! Our only planned activity on the island was a full day sailing tour around the entire coast. Nine hours on a catamaran isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy boating, sun, hard-to-reach beaches, great food, and stunning views, then you must spend the day with Captain George.

There are so many ways to spend two weeks in Greece, the choices can be overwhelming. Siena, Lea, and the rest of the KimKim team took all the anxiety out of the planning and supported us throughout the trip. This is the first time in literally decades of world travel that I've used an agency, and the experience was so good I can't help but wonder why it took me so long to try it. Great job, KimKim. 10/10 would do it again!

Everything was fine - we particularly enjoyed the guided bike tour of Bilbao and the guide was very good, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The wine tour was very good, I would suggest that for future tours this is on the first day of the stay as we would have preferred to have some local knowledge from our local guide (Ardu?) who was again excellent before we did our self guided tour which we actually did on our first day.
All the hotels were good but we felt that the hotel in San Sebastián was a bit far out from the town centre, we needed a taxi to go into town and to come back.
When we were in San Sebastián there was an international film festival on, if we had known this we may have changed the order of the holiday to avoid this. Maybe go to San Sebastián first rather than last.
But all in all we had a great time and I am trying to give constructive comments to help future similar tours.

All activities and sightseeing stops were great. Hotels were all perfect for our needs. Rinolda was responsive both before and during our trip. Would recommend kimkim to others looking to go to Iceland or other locations.

One small hiccup- the rental car company, Blue, charged us a ridiculous amount for 2 very, very tiny scratches on the car likely caused by pieces of gravel that hit our car during the trip. The amount of damage caused was extremely minor (maybe 2mm in length) and looked like normal wear and tear on a rental car to us, especially because many roads in Iceland aren’t paved and are gravel roads. Blue charged us nearly $900 for it to get assessed and fixed by their mechanic, and claims they will refund us the difference. We had no choice but to pay it. It was a shocking charge at the end of an otherwise great trip. I would not use blue rental car company again.

We had the BEST time exploring Canada on our trip with KimKim! Lola, our local specialist, was the best - she worked with us to plan the itinerary we wanted with unique stops along the way. The Niagara Falls day trip with Niagara Toronto Tours was amazing - prepare to get quite wet! - and we loved taking the train between cities. The bike tour of Ottawa is a must! Quebec City was our absolute favorite - don't miss a private tour with Mike while you're there! - and we loved the Mile End Food Tour in Montreal. Working with KimKim made planning a multi-city trip in a different country so easy! Lola took care of everything, and at each stop, we knew she and her team were just a phone call away if we needed anything. She was also very responsive both during the planning process and during our trip when we had questions. I cannot recommend KimKim more highly - we will definitely use them again in the future to plan another unforgettable trip!

We were on a public tour, but there were only 5 of us total which made it seem almost private.

Roman, the bus driver, was an excellent driver!

Our much anticipated trip to Italy lived up to our expectations! Giulia, our travel expert, handled our requests and worked with us throughout the planning process to provide a finished product that was wonderful. This was our first trip abroad and we relied upon her to provide all recommendations for guides, tours, accommodations and transportation throughout Italy. We could not have done this on our own! Each driver was prompt, each tour guide was excellent! Our hotel in Rome was beautiful and top notch, walking distance to the sights in Ancient Rome and local dining spots. Beautifuly renovated, it provided a wonderful breakfast and rooftop bar with an amazing view of Ancient Rome. The location in Chianti was beautiful! While the hotel was not the most modern it provided what we were looking for in a traditional rustic Tuscan inn with a wonderful breakfast and comfortable accommodations surrounded by the beauty of Tuscany. It was nestled in wine country within driving distance to several Hill Towns for us to explore. We enjoyed returning each day to relax on our terrace to reflect on the day. While we loved the convenience of our hotel in Cinque Terre, it was our least comfotable due to the sparseness of the space and small bathroom/shower. This was most likely due to booking too late to secure the original hotel. However, the staff was friendly and the location and direct view overlooking the Ligurian Sea was amazing!

Fantastic Malaysian Adventure!

I recently returned from an incredible trip to Malaysia, and I owe a huge thanks to Nick for making it such a smooth and memorable experience. From the very start, everything was handled with professionalism and attention to detail.

The itinerary prepared for me was spot on! I got to explore the bustling city life of Kuala Lumpur, where I marveled at the Petronas Towers and took in the cultural beauty of Batu Caves. My guide, Raja, was knowledgeable and friendly, making sure I didn’t miss out on any hidden gems.

Nick also arranged for my stay in George Town, Penang, and I absolutely loved the mix of culture, street art, and delicious food (seriously, the food tours were a highlight!). Lawrence ensured all transfers, tours, and excursions were hassle-free, leaving me to enjoy the adventure.

After Penang, the next stop was the Cameron Highlands, where we explored the stunning tea plantations with our knowledgeable guide, Subrahmanya. The beautiful rolling hills and cool climate provided a peaceful and refreshing experience. However, the only drawback was the stay at the Heritage Hotel Cameron Highlands. The hotel was old and not well maintained, making it an overall unpleasant experience. Though it was bearable for just one night, we would not recommend staying there.

One standout feature of Kimkim was their exceptional customer service. Any questions I had before and during the trip were promptly answered, and I always felt taken care of. It's clear their guides know Malaysia inside out and are passionate about making sure travelers have a great experience.

If you're looking for a seamless, well-planned, and enriching travel experience in Malaysia, I highly recommend Nick. I’m already dreaming of my next trip!

Gummi helped us plan an excellent trip, especially considering we had very specific travel dates and didn't get started until about 8 weeks before our departure. Gummi perfectly matched the interests and activity levels for our group of two parents with two adult children. Every day was full, but manageable, and well planned. When small bumps occurred, Gummi and his office were immediately available to work things out. We thoroughly enjoyed everything on the intinerary, but highlights for us were the kayaking among the icebergs in Heinabergslón, snorkeling and Silfra and the Husafell Canyon Baths. This is my second trip booked through Kimkim would definitely use them again

From the moment we stepped off the plane, until our last day, we felt special and well taken care of. Our guides were all simply excellent in both knowledge and personalty. We were able to shift times around to avoid long lines, and our guides always knew how to maximize our time.
All of our activities and hotel's were exactly as described, certainly above our expectations a few times!
As always, we cannot praise Kimkim and the local agents enough. Thank you for another wonderful holiday. We are traveling with you to India in February 2025, and cannot wait!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Faysel as our driver and travel guide during our trip to Morocco. Faysel is a true gentleman—thoughtful, respectful, and someone who proudly showcases his beautiful country. It was evident how much he loves his job and genuinely cares about his clients. He listened attentively and paid great attention to detail, remembering little things like when I mentioned my daughter was getting married. To my surprise, he bought her a gift at one of the shops we visited—a touching gesture that speaks to his kindness.

Throughout the trip, we learned so much about Morocco’s culture, its people, and religion, all thanks to Faysel’s deep knowledge and passion for sharing his heritage. The long drives felt anything but long as we frequently stopped to explore various villages, making the journey as enjoyable as the destinations.

Our stay in Fès was quite interesting. The Riyad we stayed at was beautiful, and the city was vibrant. However, this part of the tour felt more like being taken to vendors to view products and, while we never felt pressured to buy anything, it was clear that this was a subtle marketing strategy. As a result, we ended up spending a bit more than we had planned.

The Sahara Desert, however, was absolutely phenomenal! Riding camels to reach our luxury camp was an unforgettable experience, and there’s truly nothing like it. We also enjoyed our stay at Dades, where the hotel was lovely and the meals—both dinner and breakfast—were simply superb. A special shoutout to the chef there!

Lastly, Marrakech! We loved this city immensely, and it was the perfect way to round off our trip.

Would I visit Morocco again? Absolutely! I would likely skip or shorten the stay in Fès next time, but without a doubt, I would use Kim Kim again and request Faysel to be our guide. His professionalism, warmth, and dedication made our trip unforgettable.
