All three guides (Luis in Rio, Lillian in The Pantanal, and Orico in Iguazu) were stunningly good.

Our Belize trip with Lesbifriends Travel was beyond amazing! From start to finish, everything was perfectly curated, thanks to our knowledgeable travel expert, Caterina.

The itinerary struck the perfect balance of culture, history, beach vibes, and relaxation. We explored ancient Mayan ruins, learned about Belizean history and culture, and soaked up the sun on pristine beaches. We loved cooking and drumming with the Garifuna people and be welcomed into their lovely community; we truly enjoyed this cultural immersion. The trip also included plenty of downtime, which allowed us to truly unwind and enjoy the serene beauty of the destination.

Our guide, Rene was also another highlight. He was very knowledgeable, patient, funny, and a joy to be around. He also did double time as our driver and kept our group safe.

Rene’s expertise and warm personality made every activity more engaging, and Caterina ensured every detail of the trip was seamless. Their teamwork brought everything together, creating an experience we’ll never forget.

If you’re looking for a trip that blends adventure, relaxation, and cultural exploration, this Belize trip is it!

Kalipuna Island Farm to Table Cooking Class

Hopkins Village

The Kalipuna Island Farm to Table Cooking Class was a foodie’s dream. We harvested fresh ingredients straight from the farm and worked together to prepare an authentic Belizean meal. The chef guided us step by step, sharing cooking techniques and local traditions. The best part was enjoying the delicious meal we had created, surrounded by the stunning views of the island. It was an intimate and enriching experience that showcased Belize’s culinary and agricultural heritage beautifully.

The Garifuna Drumming Class was an unforgettable cultural immersion. Our Garifuna instructors were not only talented musicians but also incredible storytellers, sharing the history and significance of drumming in their culture. We learned basic rhythms, danced, and even joined in a group performance. The energy was contagious, and by the end of the session, everyone was smiling, laughing, and feeling deeply connected to the Garifuna spirit.

Who knew chocolate-making could be so much fun? The Maya Cacao Belizean Experience was a sensory delight from start to finish.

The taste was heavenly, and the experience gave us a deep appreciation for the hard work behind every bar of chocolate.

We loved our 10 day Honeymoon in Argentina! Matias did an excellent job scheduling everything including local car transfers, daily activities, meals and domestic flights. We loved having everything laid out for us ahead of the trip. Knowing that we didn't have to think about how to get a cab from the airports to the hotels or from hotels to activities was such a relief. We are so happy that we let Matias handle everything. All we had to do was show up at different times to meet waiting drivers and guides!

Angel did a great job of both agreeing an exciting itinerary with us, planning all the details and then communicating with us while we were on the holiday. The highlight was all the details around our visit to Torres de Paine - where he was able to plan ice trekking, boat trip, night in a refuge followed by night in a high end hotel with the iconic hike to the base of Torres de Paine at the end. It all went super smoothly as he had made sure we had good guides, had planned the time well and ensured it had the right level of adventure and comfort for us.

We also got a good mixture of time to explore on our own and planned activities, and he'd planned our bike tour around Lake LLanquihui well to be at the right effort level! Whenever we had questions or issues he was super quick to respond and was always knowledgeable and helpful.

We had a wonderful time on our 2 week tour through Vietnam. It was a well organized and thought out itinerary, with attention paid to our family dynamics (traveling with 2 young children). Trang was excellent at communicating with us, both before the trip and throughout our time in Vietnam, checking in with us via Whatsapp. She was also really helpful in arranging for luggage storage for our family (we were leaving an international post of 10 months, to return to the US, so we had lots of luggage!)

While Trang connected us with knowledgable guides at each spot, we had an exceptional time with Dat, in Central Vietnam. Some of our highlights from the trip included the day excursion from the cruise in Lan Ha Bay, exploring Hoi An and the coconut boats and relaxing at the beach in Mui Ne.

The good: entire trip was pre-planned so we literally just had to get ourselves to the airport. But from landing in Rome to leaving Rome 11 days later everything was taken care if.

If you have questions, or a driver is late, whatever, the person helping you via the app was super fast and responsive. Very white glove. For us, Rita was on point.

The highlights of our trip were a guided walking tour of Florence, which was simply amazing. I don’t remember our guides name, but she understood architecture and art and made the three hours absolutely fascinating. The other highlight was our cooking class in Rome, which was an absolute blast.

The less good: we were planning a day trip to the Amalfi coast. They said it was about an eight hour day. But the night before, luckily, we looked at maps and realized the drive from Rome to Amalfi was three hours and 15 minutes or more. So given that we were going to be in the car for approximately seven hours, we weren’t sure how it was going to be an eight hour day. When we contacted them, they said oh yeah actually it’s a 12 hour day. And of those 12 hours, yes we’re gonna be in the car 7 to 8 hours driving to and from Amalfi and then around the area once we’re there. We were just not psyched about spending that much time in a car and we’re disappointed that the trip was so misrepresented. They did change it for us so that we could do something else around Rome that day. We basically had a car that took us to some of the local villages outside of Rome and that was pretty fun. But it was certainly a lot cheaper than the 12 hour day to Amalfi coast and yet they didn’t offer to rebate us any money. So that experience was disappointing.

The other less good… we had a day trip to sienna from Florence. And why we loved Sienna, and our driver was lovely, it turns out that he was only a driver who dropped us off in Siena and we were on our own. We sort of thought that he would drive us to sienna and then take us around. Sienna. And because we misunderstood that we sort of got to sienna and didn’t really know what to do. Because we didn’t do any research we thought we didn’t have to. Again, the driver was lovely, but it was just sort of a strange misunderstanding.

The final less good…the cost. Look if you’re insanely wealthy and don’t care then don’t read this paragraph. But we spent quite a bit of money to hire Kim Kim, and in the end felt like we received a lot of drivers and several guided tours that we probably could’ve booked ourselves. And like I said when we changed our 12 hour Amalfi excursion to an eight hour excursion just around Rome they didn’t refund us any money.

So overall sort of a mixed bag for us. Not sorry we hired Kim Kim, but also not sure we would do it again. Lastly, I would like to thank everyone from Kim Kim, who was so lovely in dealing with us. They were very, very nice.

Everything was amazing!
Liz Karen was extremely responsive to our desires and changing needs and put together a wonderful itinerary which worked without a glitch!

Adam listened to what we were looking for and created a great itinerary for us. Loved the fact that he created Google maps itineraries for each day, that made our road tripping so much easier and was such a thoughtful detail. Furthermore he made great suggestions in case we wanted to do more than what had been aalloyed for each day- some of those ended up being extraordinary experiences which we loved. Our trip was beyond delightful, the activities selected and even the hikes he managed to sneak in (it’s late November and quite cold) were extraordinary. Hotels were great as well and were within our budget.
This is my 3rd trip with Kim Kim and I am definitely a fan! Will be consulting them for my next trip without a doubt.

Nhung helped us create an awesome itinerary for Vietnam and Thailand. It was 17 days, all private tours/transportation, concluding with a week on the beach in Phuket. Arrangements and logistics were flawless and went without a hitch.

I can highly recommend KimKim for a custom itinerary, based on your unique interests. You won’t regret it.

The trip itinerary was well suited to our preferences, interests and needs. Tina did a fantastic job with selecting tours, sights and experiences that highlighted all Thailand has to offer. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful. Mui was excellent. Hong by Starlight was an exceptional experience. Truly memorable.
The accommodations were stellar. Great locations, clean, and delicious breakfasts.
Tina was quick to respond to my questions and maintained strong communication leading up to and during our vacation, We had one minor situation arise. Tina resolved the issue quickly and without incident. I was thankful for her prompt attentiveness. I would absolutely book through KimKim again, and recommend Tina!

Erin and Nara were fabulous to work with in planning our trip to Patagonia. We found them very organized and quick to respond to any requests or questions. They provided us with a complete itinerary with every detail spelled out. We had an unforgettable experience hiking the W trek. Without their expertise and guidance I’m not sure how successful and enjoyable the trip would have been. We are KimKim fans we used them last year for a Spain/ Portugal trip also. We will definitely use their services again.

Great Experience with Leo and kimkim. Leo understood our project and his proposal after a slight tune-up was perfect. The trip was incredible, from day one up to the end. We had a very interesting discovery of Las Vegas landmarks, and an enjoyable show by Shania Twain. But most of our trip was dedicated to discovering the wanders of National and State parks of Arizona and Utah. All the guided and self-guided exploration were perfect. The Grand Canyon was more than an experience, it’s an emotion, the sun set, and sun rise were magic, not to forget the star gazing events organized by the park rangers.
Antelope canyon guided tour was amazing, we had a wonderful and very insightful guide (Orin Yellowman). We were also thrilled to discover Snow canyon state park and the wonderful Red Mountain resort next to its entrance, for sure we will go back, only 2 hours from Vegas, worth going straight from the airport to discover the beauty of all the trail with very kind support from park personnel.
Thanks to Leo who helped us create the best vacation possible.

What an amazing, flawless, and fabulous trip! Thanks to Karen for helping us plan an exciting adventure. And thanks to Lisbeth for providing quick responses to any and all questions during our trip. We all fell in love with Peru and would definitely travel with KimKim again. Thank you for helping us create so many wonderful memories!

Renata was great at providing various updates through the planning process, and dealing with some changing schedules.
But we ended up doing a lot of the work that we thought a travel agent would assist with. For example, we often found the better way to travel throughout the country and which flights to take instead of relying on her. Also in the past travel specialists have provided us with "must do" things or provided more guidance, and we were kind of left to do a lot of that ourselves.

Further, there were some things - like making sure water bottles were in the cars - were completely overlooked.

Thanks to Majid and Moha for making our trip to Morocco very memorable. I've never scheduled an expensive trip with someone over the internet, but Majid delivered. With our driver, Moha, we our six day journey from Casablanca to Meknes to Fez to Ouzoud Falls to Marakech and back to Casablanca met every plan and expectation. Of course, being in Morocco made the KimKim experience extra special. Besides the souvenirs and pictures, I return home with a vastly improved understanding of the diverse cultures of Morocco.

One piece of advice I would give to travelers to Morocco...get local currency in small denominations. Everyone expects a tip...even 2 dinars for a toilet trip visit. The ATMs don't give small denominations or coins. We even asked Moha to assist with breaking large bills. Majid provided guidelines on what amounts to tip who.

I would happily recommend Majid and Moha to anyone considering a trip to Morocco!

The Delphi tour was a fantastic experience. Despite a delay, the guide was super kind and waited for us. The exploration of the ancient wonders of Delphi was insightful, and our guide enriched the experience with their expertise.

We planned our dream trip to the Nordic countries, mainly to see the Northern Lights, which was a huge deal for us. We knew it was all up to nature, but we wanted to give ourselves the best chance of witnessing them.
We can’t thank Emerson enough for all his help from the start—he suggested the best places to go and connected us with top-notch tour providers. And we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on almost every tour we booked.
On our second day in Norway, our husky sledding ride was cancelled due to wild weather but Emerson sorted it out by rescheduling it. If it wasn’t for Emerson, we wouldn’t have been able to reschedule it, and the next day we were back on track for the ride. It was peak season, so we saw plenty of disappointed travellers whose tours were cancelled due to weather, but Emerson stayed in constant contact with all the providers, and everything went smoothly for us. Some of the places we initially wanted to visit didn’t live up to the hype, but the alternatives Emerson suggested were way better.

It was our first wedding anniversary during the trip, and since we were travelling, we didn’t think we’d be able to do anything special. But Emerson went above and beyond to make sure our anniversary day was one to remember.

The accommodation and transport he organised were perfect—everything ran like clockwork. There’s no way our trip would have been anywhere near as amazing without his help.

We honestly can’t thank Emerson enough for everything he did for us. Out trip was perfect only because of Emerson.

Transport

Ashley was on top of all the details from start to finish, both before the trip and while Buthaina and I were in Vietnam. Even with some flight delays (to be expected), we were met by our drivers and guides without missing a beat. Great professional, courteous service. Accommodations were uniformly good (we especially enjoyed the Cozy an Boutique Hotel in Hoi An) and guides were very knowledgeable and friendly (especially Mr. Chung in Hanoi and Anna on the Mekong delta trip). Happy to give our highest rating.
