Kimkim Trip Reviews

I planned & booked an international trip with Jessica, She made planning & booking of my trip to Seoul stress - less. What I like most about the planning process was that she listened to what I was looking for and what was important to me and just did exactly that. She guided me in the planning without pressure of doing what "most people do".... From day 1, she was interested in my goals of the trip which was - not bouncing from one place to the next and not going one day after another without any rest. Days were flexible where if I wanted a free day, I could have a free day. Her responses were prompt and if they weren't she assured when she would respond.

Here’s a warm, detailed review that reflects how enthusiastic you’ve been about your Norway trip:

Alex was absolutely fantastic to work with from start to finish. He listened to what we wanted, asked thoughtful questions, and created an itinerary that was even better than we imagined. Every destination felt intentionally chosen, and the pace was perfect. We were able to experience Norway’s incredible scenery while still having time to relax and explore on our own.

The hotels were excellent, transportation was seamless, and all of the logistics were handled so well that we could simply enjoy the trip. It was obvious that Alex knew the country and took great care in planning every detail.

What impressed us most was how personalized the experience felt. We never felt like we were following a generic itinerary. Instead, it felt like a trip designed specifically for us, and it showed in every stop along the way.

This was truly one of the best vacations we’ve ever taken. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we’re already working with Alex to plan another trip to Norway. There really isn’t a better endorsement than becoming a repeat customer before we’ve even stopped talking about the first trip.

Thank you, Alex, for helping us create memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime. We can’t wait to see what you plan for us next!

If you are planning a trip to Croatia, I enthusiastically recommend local Croatian travel agent Roberto (Robi) Pincevic. We traveled with family members ranging from age 25 to 88, and Robi listened to what we liked to do and suggested great activities and restaurants. His communication was excellent throughout planning and travel. While we were in Croatia, he checked in with us every day to see how things were going. When our flight to Rome was canceled at 6:30pm and we risked missing our niece's wedding, Robi tapped his network and solved the problem: two drivers to tag-team the 3.5 hour drive to our new flight, a hotel room on short notice, and transport from the hotel to the new airport. Every piece fell into place, and Robi saved the day.

Nikola was a fantastic travel agent! We had an amazing trip to Croatia and loved the country. It was a fabulous experience, and Nikola was always available and extremely helpful. He was knowledgeable, kind and pleasant and recommended fantastic hotels, restaurants and excursions. We had no problems whatsoever!
Highly recommend!!! We loved it Thank you!

Christina did an excellent job on planning our itinerary! She listened to us well and what we hoped to see in Norway. We started in Bergen, went to Balestrand, Aurland and ended in Oslo. We did a city tour in Bergen which gave us a good idea of what the Norway culture and its people were like. we ate at great restaurants suggested b y Christina and many other fun things.
We took a boat through the beautiful fjords to get to Balestrand. Balestrand was magical...like a picture perfect town from another time or story book. While here, we did an Apple Cider tour and tasting (soo good), rented cars for a day to drive to the waterfall in Felgefossen and after hiking the waterfall sat at a quaint adjacent cafe called Feigesagi where we tried brown cheese and waffles! We went on a guided boat tour and fishing with a very animated tour guide named Tor! Loved this...it was a great day!
Took another boat to Aurland. In Aurland we found another beautiful magical town! We did a sauna and cold plunge one day (highly recommend), had excellent dinners at the hotel we stayed at The Hotel Aurlandsfjord (by the way we loved all the hotels we stayed at). We had a guided Waterfall hike and view of Segastein, a fjord cruise and a trip to Viking Valley. It was all so awesome and we learned a lot about Norway, it's people and culture.
We then took a train (what a fun experience) to Oslo. We had a wonderful guided tour of Oslo with a guide who even sang us a Norwegian song (she has an incredible voice!). And then we used the rest of our time in Oslo to explore and dine on our own.
We loved our trip to Norway and are so grateful for all of the things Christina arranged for us! We are recommending this trip to all of our friends and family!

Loved the hotels we had in Florence and Sorrento. Numa in Rome was not a great experience. My bed had ants in it. The rooms were tiny. I lived the You Know Boat tour of the Amalfi coast in the last day. I was frustrated with our trains between cities because there was a know issue with delays, and our trains reservations could have been changed to avoid it, but our travel agent did not so that. It took us 5.5 hours to get from Florence to Naples instead of 3.

We had a wonderful vacation! Caroline was very patient and helpful while planning. She was available all through the trip for questions and followed through immediately with a response. In one instance, Caroline went out of her way to help even though she had personal commitments. Her help was truly appreciated.
Some of the highlights was a hike in the Chamonix area, the bike ride in Lauterbrunnen and Junfraujoch. The views and experiences we had will stay with us for a long time.
The only feedback we have is, while traveling in Switzerland is very easy on the country’s public transportation, in some cities, it was quite a few changes of modes of transport. The notes/daily itinerary was a little confusing.
Aside from that, we had a memorable holiday in a beautiful country.

Kimkim did a wonderful job planning our family trip to Greece. During the early stages, Erica talked with me at length about what kind of trip we were looking for and what types of activities we'd be interested in (understanding and taking into account that we were not all interested in the same things!). She chose two Greek islands (Naxos and Milos) that were less touristy and more authentic but still offered both cultural/historical and more active/outdoorsy activities and organized all our hotels and transfers to make the experience seamless. The kimkim team was available during the trip to answer any questions and handle hiccups (which only occurred once!). I would highly recommend this booking agency!

This was the first time I have ever had the assistance of a travel agent/company planning a trip-- but I would highly recommend. Minimizing the planning time was a real goal at this busy moment in life and allowed us to maximize the time doing fun stuff/relaxing on our trip and minimized the downtime! Having the transfers coordinated in advance made it feel luxurious. We had amazing guides (Anghela for a Percy Jackson tour in Athens was amazing--- and Stratos for kayaking to Poseidons temple and George for hiking/natural history in Kourtaliotiko gorge in Crete). We all loved the Olympic stadium tour and practicing the olympic events. The itinerary was a fabulous mix of historical tours and adventure activities and relaxation. It worked great for our 3 generation family!

We had a wonderful experience covering much of western and southern Iceland over 12 days. Guðmundur (Gummi) was responsive and provided lots of thoughtful feedback as we fine-tuned our itinerary before booking.

We had the challenge of booking the trip only about 6 months in advance, wanting to see a lot different natural and cultural attractions, and at the same time managing the abilities and interests of 3 generations of travelers. Gummi took those constraints and laid out an itinerary that managed to address all our interests, found fun and comfortable accommodations in the right locations, and kept us at a manageable pace where we could move every 2 or 3 days. The food recommendations were great and often corroborated by a foodie acquaintance who splits time in Reykjavik. Out of the entire agenda, we only opted not to do 2 optional stops, and one of those was due to the worst day of weather which prevented safe hiking in Highlands.

During the trip, Gummi provided quick responses when we needed some real-time feedback or advice on some small issues. I am confident that had we run into major problems, he would have solved them for us.

We have recommended kimkim to friends, who are since booked a trip to Iceland, and would use it again ourselves. I would recommend anyone work with Gummi. Thank you!

Our kids gave the trip a 9.5/10 which is a huge win. This was our first time using a travel service and Kimkim and our overall experience was fantastic. Alvaro helped us plan the initial logistics and create an itinerary that covered a lot of ground in Ecuador. Sebastian was super helpful at coordinating all the logistics on the ground and even came to meet us in Quito. We were so lucky to have Christian as an incredible tour guide for the first week. He felt like part of the family and even watched World Cup games with us. He has an incredibly kind heart and is a pleasure to be around and really cared for every detail of the trip. He is also a foodie and took us to some delicious meals and always had great recommendations. He did great with our teens as well. Lastly, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of birds, flora and fauna and I wish we had done the cloud forest or the jungle with him but he still managed to share a ton of info. Our itinerary was aggressive from a driving/distance traveling standpoint and we could not have done it without the input of our guides/team. We started in Quito, went to Mitad del Mundo then Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, before heading to Baños for a few days (so fun!) then drove down to Cuenca where we sadly said goodbye to Christian. Genaro took over guiding duties and he was delightful as well- very knowledgeable, interesting, kind and did a great job. We especially loved our Cajas hike with him and were very grateful he was the driver in the descent to Guayaquil! Finally, Carolina helped Sebastian with the arrangements in the Galapagos and all of our guides helped make transit easy. We stayed on Santa Cruz for a few nights but Isabela stole our hearts! Hotel Abermarle was perfect.
Overall, we had a great experience and I would recommend using Kimkim for an Ecuadorian adventure. Thank you Alvaro, Sebastian and all involved!

This was my first time using KimKim and I am impressed by how customizable and personal my experience was. After I got my first itinerary from Roy, I responded with the parts I liked and didn’t like and Roy just kept adjusting until the itinerary for a week in Norway was ideal for me and my sister. I was really appreciative when after the initial trip’s estimate was more expensive than I could afford, accommodations were changed so that we didn’t have to cut any of our activities. And the accommodations we ended up with were fantastic! I would definitely use kimkim again.

Nothing but great things to day about the KimKim experience. Erica helped us curate a full 11 day Italy honeymoon plan and had lots of suggestions and advice for us as we worked through some iterative trip options to figure out what we wanted to experience. The excursions she booked for us were lots of fun and the best part was the private car transfers from every hotel, day trip, airport, etc. Never had to touch a steering wheel once. It really felt like a 5 star experience (both the booking process and the trip itself) and made our honeymoon stress free and simple. Everything just "worked".

Eirini and her team did an amazing job planning our trip to Greece. The hotels in all of our locations were very nice. The rooms were great and the locations were outstanding with easy access to everything we wanted to see. Our hotel in Santorini (Ilioperato) was in a great location with "postcard" views of the Caldera from our front porch. We loved that it was in quiet location away from the tourist crowds, but still close to great shopping and restaurants. Our hotel in Heraklion (Dimargio) was a hidden gem. We were surprised how new and modern it was, yet still in the heart of the city near all of the attractions and restaurants. Also, our drivers were great, especially Costantinos in Athens. Also, a special shout out to George (think that was his name) in Santorini who picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at the port. Both of the gentlemen we so nice and informative. They felt like old friends after driving us a few times. My wife gave them hugs when we left them the last time! The tours and excursions were also wonderful. Eirini will find something for everyone - food, culture, history and adventure. Loved our farm tour and cooking class in Santorini. Great to see something on the non-Caldera side of the island and learn more about the island. Our host and driver were locals and passionate about life, culture, and the history of Santorini. The Kim Kim App was fantastic and easy to use. It was great having all of our trip details at our fingertips. Eirini was always responsive. We recommend Kim Kim and Eirini if you are traveling to Greece. We will use Kim Kim for our future trips.

Dimargio Hotel and Spa

Very pleased with the newer modern hotel in the heart of the city close to everything you want to see. To hotel, while very new, was designed to look like it was built in ancient Crete, with a courtyard and dining area surrounded by old looking brick walls. Nice bar in the lobby and a great breakfast. Can't imagine there is a nicer hotel in the heart of Heraklion.

Great location with amazing views. This location does not have as many tourists walking by, which was nice compared to many of the other hotels we saw. Yet, it was still walking distance to the Fira shops and many nice restaurants. Double sized beds, so smaller than what we are used to, but manageable considering we enjoyed breakfast, drinks, and sunset views from our front porch. Amazing! Also, very nice and attentive staff.

Good fresh food and wine. Just know the meal does not include any chicken, lamb, or protein. Still worth it.

Sunset trip to the Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion

Loved our driver. I would recommend this trip be schedule one hour later, or at a time to make sure you are there for sunset. Otherwise, you can see the temple in about 20-30 minutes. It is a long, although beautiful, drive for a short visit. We were there earlier and would have had to wait for over an hour for sunset. However, it was starting to get very busy the closer it got to sunset. We decided to leave and our driver dropped us off at a nice local fish restaurant for dinner. We were the only non-locals at the restaurant, which was fun. It was nice to see some of the area outside of Athens.

Every detail of our trip ran like clockwork, from getting picked up from the airport to the hotel accommodations and tours.

I will definitely book with Kimkim (specifically with Tiago) again and highly recommend his services!"
