Kimkim Trip Reviews

Our experience with KimKim was outstanding from start to finish. As first-time international travelers, we were a bit nervous about planning a 40th birthday trip abroad, but Alexia, our travel specialist based in Montpellier, made the entire process completely stress-free.

Alexia listened carefully to what we wanted, created a perfectly tailored itinerary, and handled every detail with professionalism and care. From accommodations and transportation to activities and local recommendations, everything was thoughtfully arranged and seamless. Her communication was excellent throughout the planning process, and she was always quick to answer questions and provide guidance.

Because of Alexia’s expertise and attention to detail, we were able to relax and fully enjoy our trip without worrying about logistics. She turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into an unforgettable adventure. We started our trip in Paris, then traveled to the medieval Provincial town of TourTour, and finished our stay in Nice. Every part of the journey was an absolute dream!

We are incredibly grateful for Alexia’s help and would highly recommend KimKim—and especially Alexia—to anyone planning a trip abroad.

The trip was outstanding in every respect. The itinerary was arranged to match our preferences, the hotels were lovely, and the guide was knowledgeable, caring and friendly. Long, our contact at Kimkim, checked in with us almost daily to see how we were doing. We would definitely book future trips with them.

Elena was a dream to work with and flawlessly dealt with our shifting numbers, optional day activities and requests all the way through the trip. We dined at a long list of amazing places including a family home and Michelin-star restaurants. Highly recommend!!

We loved our guides. In Bangkok, Nana took great care of us. My daughter and I added an afternoon with her to see “local neighborhoods” and it was our favorite. Highly recommend. She took us to the flower market; we saw great street art; a unique tea shop and a small chocolate shop.

In Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, we loved our time with Pong. We learned so much from her and felt her love for Thailand through her stories and interactions with local people. She also helped me navigate food since I am celiac and eat gluten-free. She is a true host with a warm and caring manner.

We loved learning about Buddhism and the history of Thailand from both Pong and Nana.

We particularly loved our bike tour in Chiang Mai (thanks Hockey). And loved the Elephant Sanctuary - highly recommend. The cooking school was perhaps our all time favorite cooking class - and we have done them all over the world. Again, great attention to my need to avoid gluten by our chef Tom.

We would not recommend the floating market outside Bangkok. It was way too touristy for us.

We finished our trip in Koh Samui. The hotel manager Aimee was so good at welcoming us and making sure we had a perfect stay. And we had a lovely lunch at The Cliffs and a beautiful dinner at The Four Seasons.

We did wonder about accommodations on the other side of the island where the water seemed a bit clearer and more blue bc of the rock and sand. But we had a lovely visit to that side of the island.

Our 2 1/2 week in Chile was fantastic! We travelled to the Atacama, Lake District, Valparaiso, the Casablanca Valley, Santiago and Rapa Nui. Our Kimkim team worked with us on several iterations of planning to fine tune the experience to align to our goal to experience the history, culture and beauty of Chile while staying within our budget. I appreciate the time Riwal took to suggest options for us to consider. The Kimkim app made it easy to keep track of the various versions of the itinerary.

In Chile our local Kimkim team was in contact daily, providing updates and helpful suggestions. A big shout out to Thaiss and Riwal for their support throughout. We enjoyed our guided trips arranged by Kimkim and valued the independent travel suggestions they shared. We returned with great memories and pictures. We’ll definitely plan trips again with Kimkim.

Dear Rachel/KimKim Team,
I hope you are well. I am writing regarding our recent London trip arranged through your company. While we appreciated some aspects of the planning, there were several arrangements that did not meet our expectations and significantly affected our experience.
Before I get started I want to mention that our liaison Rachel went on vacation just as we were beginning our trip, so that we had to ask for help from whoever was covering for her. The person we worked with did their best to help with the problems as they arose.
Key concerns and misalignments:
Accommodation: We were placed at the Tower Hotel near the Tower of London. As seasoned visitors to London, we do not view this placement as valuable or appropriate for us, since we were not seeking a Tower of London–focused experience and have substantial familiarity with the city.
I have already raised this issue with Rachel but got a response that most people just love the Tower hotel. This kind of response is not helpful and I find it dismissive.
Also, we were placed in a room that did not have an accessible bathroom, which meant we had to move to a handicap room. That’s fine but the room was not particularly nice or comfortable. All in all, we did not enjoy the Tower hotel, and in particular their breakfast was absolutely appalling.
Tour/activities: We had explicitly stated that we were not interested in group tourist activities. Nevertheless, we were signed up for two large sightseeing bus experiences. When I discussed the overview with Rachel, I did not understand that we were going to be placed on a large tour bus or I would never have agreed to that arrangement. Once I realized what we were in for, I requested to cancel day two.

Mobility and transportation:
We explicitly informed KimKim that both of us are over 70 and that public transportation in London, as well as extensive stair-climbing, would not be suitable. Despite this, we were advised to use public transport and participate in activities involving multiple stairs, including two large sightseeing buses. This was uncomfortable and impractical and did not align with our accessibility needs. Once again, when I brought this issue up with Rachel I felt dismissed and not heard. I was very clear with Rachel during our conversations that we have, and my partner who is 80 has, mobility issues. I think a more experienced person might have picked up on this aspect of our experience. On the contrary, the response I got from Rachel clearly indicated that somehow, we should have just sucked it up and gone down into the tube, even though we both struggle with stairs and long walks. Here is the response I got from Rachel.
“Tower Hotel is positioned right beside Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, offering one of the most iconic and scenic settings in the city. It also has excellent public transport connections (Underground, DLR, and river services), allowing easy access across London.
As London is a large city, even centrally located hotels often require some use of transport depending on the day’s activities, and taxis are frequently used for convenience rather than necessity”
Clearly written by a person who doesn’t get accessibility concerns, and the kinds of issues older people can face doing something that seems simple to a younger person
When we arrived at the train station at Matlock on May 28th, the transportation hired by the company didn’t show up for over an hour. Calling the company eventually resulted in someone showing up, but the following days the company failed to turn up and we had to find local transport, including our transport to Chatsworth. The new company required us to pay in cash which ended up costing us 60£ for three trips.
Btw, for some reason we were not booked with first class train tickets. I have to say I find it a bit outrageous that we paid 14,000 for the tour services, and they we had to fight to get decent transportation and first-class train tickets and that we were booked on cheap group tours. What were we paying for? I am struggling to understand the value offered at this point.
When we arrived at the train station at Moreton on Marsh, we discovered that there was no assistance to get to the hotel. I ended up having to drag my partner’s suitcase the two or so very bumpy blocks to the hotel in the extreme heat that was happening at that time. We ended up having to book a taxi for 15£ to avoid having to drag our luggage. Not to mention that there was a huge over the track ramp we needed to cross to get to the train and there was no assistance at the train station. Luckily we met kind people along the way who gave us a hand or I would once again have had to drag all of our stuff over the ramp.
Cost transparency: We have repeatedly requested a detailed, itemized breakdown of all charges (accommodation, transportation, activities/tickets, service fees, and any markups) and the net amounts paid to third-party suppliers. To date, we have not received a clear breakdown, making it impossible to verify charges and value.
Summing up, I am requesting the following:
A detailed, itemized cost breakdown for our trip, including:
o Accommodation for each place and what was included
o Transportation: transfers, and private transport
o Activities/tickets: names, dates, per-person costs
o Service fees, markups, and any other charges
o The total charged to us by your company and the net amounts paid to third-party suppliers

This was a very important trip for us. We often travel to Europe, but we are getting too old to do complicated booking and arrangements. We thought that the KimKim service would do the heavy lifting for us, and they did step in to help solve problems, however the problems were usually caused by our liason not listening to us or just not putting a lot of thought into what would be good options for us. To be honest, the person we were working with seemed distracted and not easy to contact prior to our trip and of course she was unavailable to us during 90% of the trip!

The Tower Hotel

London

This was a very basic hotel. We had an accessible room which was ok however for some reason accessible rooms don't get coffee makers? So strange. The room looked out on a roof with some large machines or fans stuck on them. The coffee at breakfast was literally the most terrible tasting coffee I have ever had in my life. The concierge at the hotel was very good however. There was also a laundry place nearby which really came in handy. The worst thing about the hotel was the location, it was miles from everything that we wanted to do in London. We racked up huge bills taking taxis and Ubers to get places because we couldn't navigate the public transportation because of accessibility and time constraints.

The tour guide on this trip was beyond nice but the trip was very hard for us because the bus was not comfortable and we basically rushed around too many places with no stop for lunch. Going to Dover was just too much. We had barely no time to enjoy Canterbury cathedral. Leeds castle was nice but once again being rushed around with a group of people is something I was hoping to avoid on this trip.

Kate at KimKim planned a two week self guided/train tour of the UK. We provided our interests and Kate planned our itinerary. Kate nailed it the first time. The hotels were outstanding. Our private guides were awesome, especially, Jacob in Oxford, Allen in Edimburgh, John in Inverness and Delianne in London!
Kate was comminicating with us throughout the tour and answered a few minor questions we had as we moved through the stops. We couldn't have asked for more! Onto the next trip!!

Our trip was amazing! And the Kim Kim team were a pleasure to deal with! Always respsonive and ready to help! They made our trip easy and stress free and also tailored our trip to our liking! Would highly recommend.

Valentine was awesome! She definitely exceeded our expectations for our girls trip! Switzerland was absolutely beautiful! We had so many highlights with our trip— paragliding, E-bike tour, Park hotel!

Our trip to New Zealand was absolutely amazing, and Monika played a huge role in making it everything we hoped it would be. She worked closely with us to design a schedule that fit exactly what we wanted, and her local expertise helped make the trip feel smooth, thoughtful, and stress-free.

When weather created a need for some changes while we were already in country, Monika was incredibly helpful and responsive. She communicated clearly, helped adjust plans, and made things happen so we could continue enjoying the trip.

My husband, teen daughter, and I had a wonderful time and saw so many incredible things. This trip was especially meaningful because it was our 20th anniversary, and I had dreamed of visiting New Zealand for 30 years. The trip did not disappoint. We had some amazing experiences that we will remember forever.

We especially loved Queenstown and the helicopter tour where we landed on a glacier. We had a blast on the Shotover River boat trip, toured Lord of the Rings filming sites, spent Christmas Eve gazing at the stars from a hot springs pool during a night sky tour, and took a boat tour to see dolphins, penguins, and seals. The natural beauty of the South Island is breathtaking.

We also had the amazing experience of seeing a kiwi hatch at the hatchery, which looked like a scene from Jurassic Park. Hobbiton was a wonderful visit as well, especially for anyone who loves the movies. These are only a few highlights from an unforgettable trip.

We all agreed that we will use a travel agent for future international trips because this experience showed us how valuable it is to have someone knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive helping along the way. We would absolutely work with Monika again.

Our trip was all around amazing. We ended up in Oslo for two warm days and enjoyed our tour with Stieg. The Thon hotel was a great location. Note:/fisheriet Bjorvika restaurant is wonderful and in a cool neighborhood. Train to Flam, then Aurland. There was a hiccup in the taxi but ferry or bus is a good alternative. The fisherman’s cabin in Aurland was really special..on the water literally and simple but amazing views. We highly recommend the sauna and dipping on the pier. Breakfast was particularly nice in an old historic house with a nice spread. The Fiord Cruise was amazing as was the Stegstein viewpoint. Ferry to Balestrand and the hotel Kniknes was outstanding. Loved walking around the town (a great local restaurant Pearl of the Harbor , run by a Ukrainian with a Norwegian flavor). Note the hotel has no elevator and a lot of stairs to climb to our room. We were fine but some may not be. The cider tour and tasting was fantastic….and impressive history. Bergen was great ..as was the tour with John…a lot of local knowledge. The Hotel Terminus …very nice room, and location. Personally we felt that there were too many groups and events and not catered to individuals as much. . Loved Bergen , roaming around, food, and the funicular. We went early up the Funicular and highly recommend the walk down. Then the Hurtigruten….the fiords were spectacular…so glad we did it. And Trondheim. we LOVED the hotel Britannia….really top notch spot in every way. The Breakfast buffet was the most impressive I have ever seen and the service impeccable. Walking tour with Wanda was perfect. She is very knowledgeable and very entertaining with her stories. We also love the Bakklandet neighborhood and restaurants. Trondheim was really a lovely little city….turned out to be one of favorites!

I wanted to thank Christine (planning), Hera (Seoul), and Luke (Busan), you made my family’s first trip to Korea an AMAZING experience! You are all so knowledgeable and helpful from pick up from the airport from the first day, I felt we were in great hands. Our local guides, added great touches to our experience and provided solid additions and suggestions to enhance our experience. I will definitely highly recommend to my friends and family your services.

What a magical trip - all thanks to Adam, his team (Lea, etc) and KIM KIM! They were amazing to work with! They kept in constant communication prior, during and after the trip. We chatted by phone regarding the itinerary prior to departure. We had 2 late adds - and they coordinated adding them to our itinerary. Then my stepdaughter missed her flight and Adam/team helped secure her a late night ride to the hotel. The hotels (Nayara and Hotel Aguas Claras) were amazing! We will never forget them. The activities Kim Kim picked were spot on. Zip Lining, Horseback riding, hot springs, hikes, etc. They also arrange all the transportation.
We plan to use Kim Kim for our next trip!

Amazing trip! Bella and her team were all wonderful and so easy to work with. All the local specialist were great to be around and made the trip enjoyable. Would definitely visit again with Bella and her team. Fulfilled a destination on the bucket list and made fantastic memories for our 20th wedding anniversary.❤️❤️❤️

I just came back from a wonderful trip to Japan, I was extremely impressed with the service and friendliness of the tour guides.
They were always punctual, arriving on time to pick us up and they treated us exceptionally well.
There's one tour guide I'll always remember for his professionalism: Davin from Hungry Tours Osaka. The day we spent with him was a truly enriching experience.
I loved the visit where We could appreciate Mount Fuji and We have a wonderful lunch ,plus the very beutiful and very peaceful temple.
A hotel I'll always remember is the Riokan Aura Tachibana, it was such a lovely experience having to wear a robe to breakfast and dinner , the food was espectacular, the flavor, the presentation and the amazing service were all outstanding.
The first hotel in Tokio was located in a very good area, but the restaurant wasn't good.
What I remember is that it was a wonderful trip and that's why my friend and I are going in another trip with your company.

It was fine. Leny booked the things we asked her to and, for the most part, they were executed on as planned (there was only one issue, where the driver was 30 minutes late and we were notified 10 minutes before the tour was supposed to start and no one ever explained what happened).
The recommended tours and activities were pretty good, they didn't feel particularly geared for children (like the ramen cooking class started with a 20 minute lecture on ramen, which isn't really what kids want) even though we had specifically requested them for kids.
I would have liked more direction on what we should be doing, there was very little of that, just booking what we asked, maybe that's all they are supposed to do but it would have been nice to have some guidance. For example, I showed the itinerary to a friend who pointed out we didn't have Fushimi Inari in our plans for Kyoto but KimKim never mentioned this at all.
Overall, it was executed fine, communication with the local specialist was good and easy in the app, but for the very high price (they mark up all the tours extravagantly AND charge you a fee which is a percentage of the marked-up tours), I think I was looking for something more.

Angela did an amazing job planning our trip! She paid attention to every detail, provided thoughtful recommendations, and kept everything organized from start to finish. Her communication was excellent, and she made the entire planning process stress-free. I highly recommend her! 😊
