We had a wonderful trip to Costa Rica. Serendipity Adventures, the local tour company we worked was, did a fantastic job planning a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. We highly recommend their services! Everything was so seamless and ran so smoothly. We would love to visit Costa Rica again and would love to use their services.

I have used Kimkim twice now. The first time was for a two-week trip to the Philippines about six months ago, and everything was so wonderful that when I decided to take my two daughters to Bali before one headed off to law school and the other started college, I didn’t hesitate to book through Kimkim again.

For this trip, I wanted something a little different. We were looking for eco-conscious luxury, beautiful nature, authentic cultural experiences, and places that felt a little off the beaten path. One thing I especially appreciated during my first Kimkim experience was being paired with a local travel specialist who really understood the destination and culture. I asked whether I could receive a quote from a different specialist this time, but was told I couldn’t. I decided to move forward anyway even though I would have liked to have shopped agencies. (Since Kim Kim is basically a matchmaker site between local agencies and the consumer of travel).

The itinerary was pretty basic and the activities were primarily “self guided”. The trip was definitely highly marked up.

The planning process was fine, and after a few itinerary adjustments we were on our way from the San Francisco Bay Area to Bali.

The biggest disappointment was the level of communication from our travel specialist. We were only checked in on once after arriving, and during that message she didn’t even remember my name. It lacked the warmth, attentiveness, and thoughtful personal touches that I experienced on my previous Kimkim trip and that friends have also described. It certainly didn’t ruin our vacation, but it was noticeably different from the level of service I had come to expect.

Now for the part that made this trip absolutely unforgettable:
Our driver, Made (pronounced “Mah-Dee”), was extraordinary. I was initially told that he was “just a driver” and that a guide would cost extra. In reality, Made became one of the biggest highlights of our entire vacation.

He consistently went far above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Balinese culture, history, religion, traditions, food, and daily life. He answered every question we had with patience and enthusiasm, made wonderful recommendations that improved our itinerary, and was always thinking several steps ahead to make our days smoother and more enjoyable.

As three women traveling together, we always felt completely safe in his care. He was professional, respectful, kind, punctual, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best possible experience. By the end of two weeks, he felt more like a trusted friend than simply our driver. If Kimkim has employees who represent the very best of what travel should be, Made is one of them. He deserves tremendous recognition.

The accommodations were also outstanding. Every hotel was an eco-luxury retreat, beautifully designed, surrounded by nature, and unique in its own way. The prices were very reasonable for travelers looking for this sort of resort . The markup from kimkim was huge and next time I will book these hotels myself and saved a lot of money. I never saw an itemized cost breakdown but did the math and I could have spent 1/2 the price booking myself. Each location had its own personality, yet all maintained the same high standard of comfort and hospitality that was standard for the areas where we stayed.

Even with my disappointment regarding communication from our travel specialist, this was still probably the best trip of my life. Bali is magical, and Kimkim put together an itinerary that allowed us to experience its beauty in a meaningful way. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to ensure every traveler receives the same level of personal attention during the planning process that Kimkim has built its reputation on.

And if you’re lucky enough to have Made as your driver, know that you’re in exceptional hands. He was worth his weight in gold and was one of the biggest reasons this became a trip my daughters and I will remember for the rest of our lives.

We spent our last three nights in Bali here. It was the perfect place to end the best vacation EVER. The staff were so attentive and thoughtful and kind. We attended their “BBQ by the river” which is a must! The restaurant was great. Breakfast was lovely every morning. The room was perfect for me and my two adult daughters. We had such a great time here. The staff really made it special . The views were priceless .

We had a wonderful stay at Elevate by Hanging Gardens Munduk. The property is beautiful, and the views of the mountains and surrounding greenery were absolutely breathtaking. It was such a peaceful place to relax and unwind. The staff were kind, welcoming, and attentive, and our villa was comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and felt like a special place to stay. As a vegan, I was pleasantly surprised to find several great vegan options on the menu, which made dining easy and enjoyable. The cooler weather was a nice change, and we really enjoyed spending a few days in this part of Bali. It felt like a wonderful place to slow down and take in the scenery. We would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing stay surrounded by nature, and we’d love to return someday

Hi Marie,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience.

I am truly delighted to read that this was "probably the best trip of your life" and that you and your daughters enjoyed such a memorable journey through Bali. It was also wonderful to hear your kind words about Made, who is indeed an exceptional member of our team.

One of Kimkim's greatest strengths is connecting travelers with local travel specialists, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to design a journey that matched your vision of authentic, eco-conscious Indonesia. Knowing that the itinerary, accommodations, and experiences made such a lasting impression is incredibly rewarding.

I am sorry that the communication during your trip did not fully meet your expectations. I always send a welcome message upon my travelers' arrival to make sure everything is going smoothly, as I did for your trip, and I remain fully available throughout the journey whenever assistance is needed. During your stay, I responded promptly to each of your questions, and as no issues were brought to my attention, I understood that you were enjoying your holiday as planned. Every traveler has different expectations—some appreciate regular check-ins, while others prefer to disconnect and reach out only if they need assistance—so I generally adapt to the latter approach unless requested otherwise.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback. I hope Bali has left you with wonderful memories, and that you'll return one day to discover even more of the incredible diversity Indonesia has to offer.

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!

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!

Hi Renee,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm happy to hear that you loved your stays in Florence and Sorrento, and that you enjoyed the boat tour along the Amalfi Coast.

Regarding the train journey, as we discussed through the Traveler App during your trip, there were major rail reconstruction works taking place on the route during your travel dates, which caused significantly longer travel times than usual. We booked Business Class tickets for your family so that the journey would be as comfortable as possible despite the longer travelling time. When you reached out about changing to a different train, my Team and I have checked the available options right away. Unfortunately, at that point (one day before), changing the reservation would have required paying double the price, making it a very costly change.

I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience at the hotel in Rome. This is the first time we've ever received feedback like this about that property. I wish you had let me know while you were there. I would have contacted the hotel immediately to request a room change and make sure the issue was addressed as quickly as possible.

It was a pleasure helping you plan your family's journey through Italy, and I wish you and your family all the best on your future travels. Warm regards, Anita

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.

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!

Beautiful pictures! Thank you so much for this lovely review! I really enjoyed talking through what everyone in the family was hoping for and finding that right balance of activities so everyone would have fun. I'm happy you enjoyed Naxos and Milos, two of my favorite islands as well and for the same reasons. Thank you for trusting us with your family's trip to Greece.

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!

I'm very happy to read your trip was such a great success.
Yes the hot water in Reykjavik (and most places around the island) does indeed have a bit of a sulfur taste to it, but let the cold water run for a minute and you have crystal clear, ice cold glacial water, filtered through lava stone, with no sulfur taste at all. A good thing to know upon your return, which we need to start planning btw haha.
Take care and come back soon!

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!

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".
