Kimkim Trip Reviews

Sydney was outstanding at communicating our options and helping us determine which Greek islands best met the style of vacation we were seeking. She’s very knowledgeable, providing details about the hotel options, travel between islands, private and group tours, etc.
The private tours on Santorini, Naxos, and Paros were perfect. Mario did a great job of taking us to less congested parts of Santorini. Dimitri on Paros was thoroughly entertaining, and did a great job of adapting when we were hit by a long downpour. He took us to our favorite restaurant of the whole trip, which had a coveted outdoor patio right on the water.
Overall, I can’t recommend Kimkim more highly!

Logistics worked very well. The vans were a bit small for the number of people so that could have been improved. The tour people in Kuala Lumpur and Kuching were superior

My 2 sisters and I planned a trip to Turkey through KimKim and worked directly with Berat. We provided some overall criteria (cultural and historical) but left most of the planning up to Berat with a few changes. She did a terrific job meeting our expectations. At one point I had an unexpected surgery and we were able to easily postphone our trip for a year. The trip was 16 days, 6 of it in Istanbul with a guide for two days and the rest was with a guide and a couple of drivers. Communication was excellent, including all detailed information. We were met at airports (twice), drivers were all professional and had very good vehicles (one brand new) and always on time. We had a Hamam visit planned and were dropped off and picked up with no worries. One driver we had for 5 days even brought coffee and tea in thermoses for a long drive. Both guides were exceptional. The guide we had for most of the trip 9/10 days provided many spontaneous extra diversions ie: natural potato storage facility, women cooking down molasses and tomatoes by the side of the road etc and provided excellent overviews before visiting a place . And the ice cream we ate with a knife and fork!! We felt priviledged to have him.
All the places we visited were impressive. and memorable ...there were so many! Probably the most was the 9,000 year old Catalhukuk, the underground caves, Caravanseri on the silk road, Mosques for me.
Our hotels were exactly what we wanted .... lots of character and with comfort as well. Very memorable. The communication via the app was great. Everything was very timely and smooth. We had booked a balloon ride in Cappadocia for the first day but weather cancelled it. We were able to rebook for the day we were leaving but again it was cancelled due to weather. Then we were offered to book at Pamukkale if we wanted, which we did and were able to do. So easy to have it all arranged for us. And any changes fit in easily. A wonderful trip!!!

Armada Hotel

Istanbul

We enjoyed this hotel with views of the Bosphorus and the Blue Mosque. We visited the rooftop garden with herbs and fruit trees every morning and afternoon. The breakfast buffet was large with a great view and open windows. The turtles were also an added interest in the lobby. We were able to walk to places easily. We were there 6 nights and were very satisfied.

We quickly learned our way around.

We were looking for unique places with character to stay on our trip. This fit the bill! So many things to look at and every day you saw more. So much character. Lots of cats, as there are everywhere. A beautiful view. Wonderful breakfast and cake in the afternoon.

Doğa Thermal Hotel & Spa

Denizli

We had asked for a spa hotel to have a rest day near the end of our trip so this fit the bill. This hotel is used for large tour groups so is very large, has a huge dinner buffet and good size breakfast buffet. Licensed. The simming pool with hot water is nice and not crowded. I did not bother with the cold one which apeared empty. I did use the Hamam for a turkish bath. It was not up to the one in Istanbul which was terrific. The staff were all good. WE didn'tleave thehotel except for our tour,ballon ride so I do not know about the area.

Nisanyan Houses

Selçuk

Our last hotel. And what a special place. We did have the cooking class in a stone house with openfire/oven. when we arrived which was fun ...and then we ate the food which was great. I stayed in a little stone cottage which was really cool! The stars were very bright ...not something you see anymore. Lots of cats which we enjoyed. A very quaint beautiful spot. And wonderful people/staff. Lots of character but very different from all the other places. Gardens, fuit and olive trees. A really nice place to end our trip.

Three middle age American women set out on a two week Moroccan adventure and booked through KimKim. KimKim helped us plan our itinerary and then worked with Moroccan Immersion , who was our on the ground tour operator. Everything about the trip was perfect. Nihad was our planning contact at KimKim on the front end and did a stupendous job. Our driver, Ahmed, was with us for over 10 days and he became a friend. We even have a WhatsApp group chat now! We had a few unusual travel complications and cofounders Sharon and Abdou even brought us to their lovely Kasbah to for lunch. From our drivers (Omar was also amazing) to tour guides, the attention to detail and care was so impressive. I can't recommend KimKim enough and their partnership with Morocco Immersion.

The guides were accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly.

We stopped here for lunch and our expectations were high after having marvelous meals on our previous tours. The waiter told us that we would be served the special of the day. It turned out to be a chicken quarter of breast and wing on the bone. It was not cooked through and impossible to get the meat off the bone. The potatoes tasted like flour and the vegetable was a pepper. A dish of beans and corn were also on the table to be shared but the skins on them were tough and hard to peel. All in all it was an unappealing meal and impossible to eat.

Our 2 week trip to Japan was amazing! Our specialist, Adeline, answered all of our questions, booked hotels and activities, made restaurant reservations and (most importantly) booked all of our train travel from place to place.
We especially liked our "off the beaten path" shrine tour in Kyoto. We had a personal guide to show us multiple temples and little neighborhoods. He was a local and felt more like a friend showing us around than a bland umbrella-in-the-air guide.
Adeline both recommended activities and restaurants and then took our "must haves" to make a seamless trip.
About half way through the trip, we knew we needed a relaxed street food night. We had a dinner reservation and one quick message to Adeline, the reservation was cancelled without charge and we were free to eat whatever yummy snacks we could find!
My husband had been to other parts of Japan on a work trip and still had Tokyo Station Anxiety! IYKYK. Having never been to Japan myself, this would have taken me forever to plan!
We will definitely use Kimkim again and have already recommended it to numerous friends.

I had never used Kimkim before, but I am likely to in the future. From start to finish, everything just went smoothly. Two years ago when we went to Kenya and Tanzania (using another agency), we had a series of disaster after disaster. My wife and I kept looking at each other this time and wondering when everything was going to fall apart. Spoiler alert: It never did. From the initial planning on where in Morocco we wanted to go, to constant communication with Nihad our trip planner in the time leading up to it, everything just worked.

Our driver was amazing, knowledgeable, and got us from place to place safely, and was also a wealth of knowledge about Morocco in general. The city guides were incredible and patient, answering all of our questions.

We told our trip planner that we really didn't want the "tourist experience." In other words, we didn't want to be with 30 other people following a guide holding a flag aloft shuffling us from place to place. We didn't want to see Morocco as Americans. We wanted to understand from Moroccans what made Morocco special to them. And Kimkim delivered.

I would definitely choose Kimkim again.

All our drivers were excellent. Alberto and Pepe stood out from the rest. Our guide at Pompei, JonLuca, was excellent, as was our guide at the Coliseum and Forum. I can’t remember her name.
Gatto Bianca in Capri was my favorite hotel. Did the chair lift in Anacapri, and the Blue Grotto in Capri. Tons of fun.

Coraima & team were professionals. They honored all requests, helped me work through the perfect itinerary while always being available for questions. The trip went exactly as planned. Recommendations for all tours, hotels, attractions, and food were spot on. Enjoyed our trip immensely. I felt well-supported throughout the duration of our trip. Would happily use kimkim again esp Coraima & team if possible.

The people we interacted with were just fine. Since there were only two of us I thought that it would have been better if we were transported in smaller vehicles. The big vans were a bit of an overdo. I should mention that Stefano who drove us to San Marino was especially good.

We had a wonderful trip to Iceland with kimkim
A special thank you to Guðmundur Óli (Gummi), who was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the planning process.
Our group changed from more than 20 people to just 13, and he handled all the adjustments with great care and flexibility.
We really appreciated his recommendations and the beautiful places included in our itinerary.

The hotels were excellent, and we were very happy with the accommodation choices.
A big thank you also to our driver, Bessi from Moonwalker, who was so helpful, accommodating, and cooperative throughout the trip.
We truly appreciated his care and flexibility, especially when the weather affected our plans.

Unfortunately, we experienced heavy rain on our arrival day and throughout the following day, which meant we had to skip some planned stops for safety. This was entirely due to the weather and beyond kimkim’s control. The team did their best to adapt the itinerary so we could still enjoy our time in Iceland.

All 13 of us came away very happy with the experience. Thank you to Gummi, Bessi, and the team for helping us create such lovely memories of Iceland. We would happily recommend them

Our guides Pedro in Lisbon and Manuel
In Porto were exceptional.

My wife and I decided to go to Italy as a "Big Trip." We found we were quickly overwhelmed by all the seemingly amazing places; we didn't want to do a bus tour, and we also didn't want our first time in Italy to be a cruise. Enter Kimkim: we were paired up with Melanie, and she was a fountain of information and extremely helpful. She worked with us through a number of different itinerary iterations; we even ended up revamping the trip because of some flight changes and date adjustments. She was always there to help. At booking, there were some additional pivots due to availability changes, and it worked out great.

The trip itself was overall amazing, 17 days total. We stayed in Sorrento, Florence, Venice, and Rome, and had numerous other tours to visit nearby attractions. We got to see everything we wanted to. Melanie and Agota were there every step of the way with daily reminders and check-ins over WhatsApp. We had trains and cars and boats on this trip, and it all worked out great.

The tour guides and drivers we had were great, happy to answer questions or talk about things in the area. The private food tours were one of the highlights, for certain. The small group tours were also intimate and educational. I wish I could remember all our guides' names.

If I had one tip for others, it's make sure you are specific with the tour outlines and your desires. We mistook a couple of tours as "small group" on the itinerary; turns out the "small group" was the two of us on a coach with 40+ others. The tours were done well, we just were expecting something different.

It's not just about when things are going well that matters, it's also how it's handled when they don't. The one hotel still had Agota's name on the reservation, and we had some confusion with driver pickup locations due to a hotel change. But it was all quickly rectified and didn't hold up our trip at all. A couple of tours were early starts, and the hotels couldn't supply the included breakfast, so we were issued compensation. One of the tours ended up being quite different than the agreed itinerary, and they quickly worked with us to find a happy resolution.

Any time we're considering complicated itineraries in a place where we don't know where to even begin, I would happily use Kimkim again.

What a great 12 days in Japan! Hilda was an excellent organizer and helper from beginning to end. We had very specific things we wanted to do that were not that easy to arrange (i.e. hiking parts of the Nakasendo Trail) and Hilda managed it with grace. Her attention to detail (including photos of train stations and visitors centers, obtaining train seats that had the luggage space right behind the seats, arranging knowledgeable and personable tour guides, etc) was exceptional. We were traveling with our 30 year old daughter, so having logistics taken care of but not being with a big tour group, was really important to us. Thank you for a memorable trip!

This was our first experience with KimKim or any private travel company and we would say it was excellent. Their recommendations were all good, including what tours to take and in what hotels to stay, the guides they provided were always knowledgable (some were superb) and their Corbieco Travel's communication to us was always timely and helpful.
Emrah, our local specialist was more than patient with our many questions and trying to accommodate our needs. He was an excellent resource and a wonderful person. Our guide in Cappadocia, Canon was superb as was Umut in Ephesus.

Overall, we had a great and memorable experience and would use KimKim again and we have already recommended the Turkey team to others

My trip to China was incredible!

Mike was a local agent, how know when, where to head to the mountains. I enjoyed our great conversations and his company.

I felt secure and taken care off at every moment which is quite important for a solo traveler like me.

The planning by my local specialist was great, she tailored the trip to my needs and budget.. could not say more than Amazing service!!

This is my third trip planned by Kim Kim, will keep traveling using their services.
