Kimkim Trip Reviews

Our Iceland adventure was incredible! Iceland is a beautiful country with so much to see and explore. Adam and the entire team at KimKim were exceptional at advising, organizing, coordinating, and communicating all details to make our adventure as easy and exciting as possible. Not one detail was missed. From the moment we arrived; airport transfers, car rental, hotels, tour & activity tickets were all prepared in advance. The KimKim App is easy to use with all details and documents at your fingertips.

We loved our adventure and know that Adam and KimKim Travel helped to make it better than expected.
This was our second large family travel adventure with KimKim. We highly recommend KimKim and will certainly use them again for our next great adventure.

I have been recommending KimKim to all of my friends since returning from Greece! Two girlfriends and I traveled to Athens, Mykonos, Paros and Santorini. Erica and Lea were so helpful every step of the way, and our accomodations were perfect. Everything went so smoothly with meeting our drivers and ferries, etc. One of the unexpected highlights was a day trip to Antiparos. We shopped in the morning and spent the afternoon at Fanari Beach Club. It was the perfect day. Another highlight was the day cruise from Paros. The swimming, sights, the staff and the lovely authentic Greek lunch made for a truly memorable day. We also loved our walking tour in Mykonos with Pako. He was an absolute delight! I could go on and on. I will definitely be using KimKim for my next trip :)

5/5 Stars – An Unforgettable Travel Experience!

We couldn’t have asked for a better trip planner than Hector at Spiritu Travel! From start to finish, Hector went above and beyond to make sure our vacation was seamless, stress-free, and truly unforgettable. He was extraordinarily patient, took the time to answer every single question we had, and even jumped on phone calls with us multiple times before our trip to walk through the itinerary and make sure every detail was covered.

The Spiritu Travel app was an absolute game-changer, putting our complete itinerary, travel details, and key information right at our fingertips whenever we needed it.

Every excursion and local guide Hector booked for us was top-tier, exceptionally professional, and always right on time. On top of that, the private transports Hector arranged were wonderful—the drivers were incredibly friendly, highly knowledgeable, and made getting around a breeze.

Thanks to Hector and Spiritu Travel, we enjoyed every single minute of our trip. We are already looking forward to booking our next adventure with Hector and cannot recommend him highly enough!

Sintra is a beautiful town. However, it gets very crowded. To nobody’s fault the high risk of wild fires had closed the road and we couldn’t visit the palace. The trip to cascáis was a great experience just wished we had more time to spend there.

Gummi was great to work with, starting from the initial emails and video calls to questions being answered on the spot while we were on vacation in Iceland. Although the weather did not cooperate on three of our days, we were still able to explore the country around the Ring Road without much difficulty. We were given step by step instructions on how much time to spend at each location to maximize our travels with three children as well as driving instructions.

Clothilde was extremely helpful and responsive with the overall planning and with every detail. Our original ideas to visit Evian and Montreux for golf and jazz were made even better with the KimKim team presenting options for personalized tours which exceeded our expectations. The additional experiences included a private cheese and wine tasting with a Sommelier in Annecy (Jennifer), a private pontoon boat tour on Lake Annecy with Fondue (Gael), a private tour of the old town (Aude) a private tour of the Patek Phillipe Museum in Geneva (with Siggy), and a private tour of artisanal cheese making in Gruyere, a chocolate factory tour, and a driving tour around Montreux that included wine tasting in the UNESCO World Heritage site (with Emmanuel). The guides were impeccable in their knowledge and getting to know us to help personalize the tours. We especially want to single out Aude for her knowledge of Annecy and the ability to simplify the complex history of the area, and Emmanuel, who made us feel like friends from the moment we met, and who altered the tour in real time based on our interests. All of the drivers were on time and easily contacted for any time changes we requested. We are looking forward to planning our next adventure with KimKim. We will refer our friends to KimKim to develop itineraries to exactly match their desires.

We had some ideas of where we would enjoy visiting in Atlantic Canada and Ryan drew up a great itinerary which suited us very well. We especially enjoyed Peggy's Cove (complete with someone playing an Alphorn!).
Our food tour guide, Margaret, in PEI, gave us an in-depth and interesting history of the Island which accompanied our eclectic food samplings.
Getting out on the ocean for the whale watching and the tall ship tour was a plus - the air was wonderful. The restaurant recommendations were excellent (seafood galore).
We hope to visit NS again soon. What a gorgeous region of Canada!

It was one of the BEST trips I have been on!! I will definitely recommend Olman and this company to friends and family.

Hilda, did a fantastic job overall. We had several changes to our itinerary given we were traveling with an infant and she was able to accommodate them all. Additionally, she answered all questions we asked and was even responsive to questions during our time there. We had a great experience

We have used KimKim previously for a trip to Norway with success, and had high hopes for our trip to Scotland. Unfortunately, the trip was not planned well, and I feel that this service was mostly a waste of money, and it was a lot of money! We had emphasized at the start of this that we wanted a trip with a focus on nature and history, but ideally would like to avoid a bunch of churches and castles since those get repetitive. We were hoping for walks and museums, mostly.

In Edinburgh the initial old town private tour was very superficial with a focus on shopping locations and Harry Potter trivia rather than the history of the old town and culture of Scotland. It didn't help that it was given by a man who was new to the position and not a native to the area, so he was clearly giving info that he had just recently learned himself. The food tour had the wrong start location, and when we reported this to Tetiana our specialist, she reminded us that we could have checked the start location ourselves. We paid a ton of money so that we wouldn't have to double check all her work, so this was a frustrating response. Of note, our favorite visit in Ediburgh was the Surgeon's museum, which had great history and culture and demonstrated some of the impact that Scotland has had globally. This museum was one we picked ourselves on arrival, it was not suggested by Tetiana.

The Oban leg of the trip was fine, although this was the start of the difficulty with timing. Driving consistently took around 30% longer than our schedule had listed, and so we consistently had to remove one of the stops from each day from this point onwards. Calculating out the timing, we would have been getting back to the hotel between 7 and 9 PM nightly, which was not what we were looking for when the day also included 2-6 hrs of driving. Of note, the church we were supposed to visit in Glencoe on the way to Oban was closed, and it was just a local church for the town, not a destination from what we could tell. There was a war memorial nearby that might have been a better alternative to a closed local church.

Fort William was not very interesting, and when we ran into locals and mentioned this city, they were surprised we would even go there.

For the Isle of Skye, we stayed in Portree, and the museum suggested in the guide did not exist. There is nothing called the "Portree museum," and the closest thing was called the "Skye Museum of Island Life" which is a pretty different name! Especially when we emphasized wanting to get the history and culture of the area, I wish more care had been taken to make sure these museums existed.

The trip to Loch Lomond was fine, also, I have no major complaints.

While some issues with the trip I can blame on Scotland itself (such as the hot weather, lack of trees, lack of birds and small mammals, poor ability to consume the history outside of castles, apparently), many of the issues with the trip could have been avoided if a bit more care had been taken in planning the trip. I will not be using KimKim again, as it has proven itself too unreliable for my money!

Mathia was a huge help in planning my two weeks in Norway. First he helped me book just the exact right cruise out of Bergen on Havila when I was struggling to figure out how to do only part of the coastal route. When only an interior cabin was available, he monitored the bookings and secured a newly available cabin with window with no prompting from me.

Then he re-routed our rental car pickup in Lofoten to be there when we disembarked, saving us from expensive taxi rides.

And finally, he showed us around his home island of Vesterhålen when we realized how close we were. It was a treat to meet him after so much electronic correspondence, and even better to get a personal guide for a bit.

I would recommend Mathia to anyone planning a trip to Norway!

From the moment we stepped foot in Peru, everything was perfect. The communication was great. All the guides we had were amazing. They were very accommodating when it comes to changing tweaking the itinerary. Highly recommend KimKim for your trip to Peru.

Overall this trip was full of hassles. 1) Kimkim will not disclose tour costs so it is difficult to make choices about where you want to spend your resources. 2) I bought insurance and had flight issues which required us to miss some tours. These were not reimbursed. 3) When my bags did not arrive at the airport and I was filling out a missing bag form, I got a call to say that there would be a charge because the driver was waiting too long. 4) the actual itinerary was wrong multiple times (dates, people, etc).

I will say the local guides (Ale, Angel and Jennifer) were great. Friendly and knowledgeable.

Kateryna did an amazing job planning our trip! I could have never done it without her. We packed in so many things in two weeks in Europe ! With all the complicated schedules and hours of the many places we wanted to see and go she fit it all in like clockwork.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

IT WAS A TRIP OF A LIFETIME

Entire trip was wonderful. Special shout out to our driver Hamdi,!!,!

We worked with Laurent to book a girls trip to southern Croatia, and I can't say enough great things about him and the process. There is no way we would have had the trip we did without him. He worked patiently with us beforehand to understand what we were looking for and came up with an itinerary that matched our interests, travel style, and budget and then made changes and adjustments till we got it just right. He booked everything for us and gave us all our trip information in the app as well as in a PDF for easy reference. But most importantly, he was extremely responsive when we were on the trip and needed help or had questions. For example, we were notified the night before that a whole-day tour we had booked was cancelled due to weather. We reached out to Laurent, he got on the phone with us to give us some options and by the next morning we were booked on a whitewater rafting trip that was a highlight of our trip! All of the hotels he booked and restaurants he suggested were a perfect match for what we were looking for.

Our time in Iceland was fantastic. A lot of the thanks goes to KIMKIM for setting every up for us. We tried to set up our Iceland trip ourselves and it was overwhelming. The itinerary for our trip was great we never felt rushed. Our hotel accommodations were very pleasant and we were very happy with them. The suggestions on where to eat were appreciated, we did eat at quite a few of the recommended places. We were set up with a WI-FI HOTSPOT to use so we were always able to research things as we were going. Having the hot spot also meant our navigation was spot on and we were able to drive around with ease. Our pre-planned trip was extremely enjoyable. Iceland is a beautiful country to visit. Everyday was like being in a post card.

We are a family of four (two adults and a teenage boy and girl) and all of us had an amazing time during our stay in Morocco, thanks to the thoughtful itinerary Maryem put together and everyone involved in making us feel so welcome. Ismail, our driver, deserves special mention: he made us feel safe on every journey, shared wonderful insights along the way, and was always thoughtful about the family's comfort, whether making quick stops or offering guidance on the best places to eat and shop.

One of the highlights of the trip was our cooking class. The preparation was outstanding, the family who hosted us was so welcoming, the food was delicious, and the dining room setting was stunning. We spent a beautiful afternoon sharing stories and learning together over a wonderful meal.

Our camping stay in the Agafay desert was stunning and exactly the right change of pace after a couple of lively days in Marrakech. And our time in Essaouira offered a perfect retreat of sea, sand, and culture at a more relaxed rhythm. Ismail's recommendations there were excellent, and we loved strolling along the beach each evening on our way back to the Riad.

The accommodations Maryem selected were wonderful — beautiful, clean, and perfectly sized for the whole family. Breakfast at every hotel and Riad was delicious and the perfect start to each day.

In short, our five days in Morocco were truly unforgettable. The locations, accommodations, activities, and people who made it all possible were absolute top class, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to this incredible part of the world.

I'll definitely trust Kim Kim again for future travels — whether back to Morocco or elsewhere. Thank you!

Everything was wonderful! We especially loved the guides - Katrina and Kristina. They were so nice and knowledgeable. Katrina (in Bergen) had a great list of restaurants, and we really loved the lunch spot, but the one we checked out for dinner sort of "shooed" us away. Maybe they were having a private event. It was a Norwegian restaurant with a hunting vibe. I don't remember the name of the restaurant.

The hotel in Bergen was so worth it! We hung out in the great lobby, and the bartender, Anders, was so friendly! We even checked out the sauna in the basement - my girls have never checked out the sauna.

The towns we visited were wonderful! Ålesund was beautiful and we enjoyed their art museum. The Art Nouveau buildings were fantastic! Thanks to your local contact here, we arranged to stay an extra day because we missed the Fjord boat - poor planning on our part. Geirangerfjord was so worth it - even though we had to buy another trip and another hotel night. Loved every minute of it!

I could probably have done without the giant Jet ski ride - would rather have kayaked. The guide though was a good driver and very friendly. I would add that the tourists in Alesund along with the locals did stare a lot at my daughter - she's from New York and an alternative dresser! - but I did read on Reddit that the smaller towns have a "staring problem", haha.

Oslo was a great city - enjoyed the Munch museum so much! (Nobody stared either) I think it is my new favorite museum! Kristina steered us to a less-traveled part of the main drag, and we found an amazing Italian restaurant. It was fun being there during the World Cup as well! We captured some amazing photos - both my daughters are wonderful photographers. I'll try to send you a link to my album!

Thanks for everything, Taylor! You did a fantastic job!

We had booked a 2 week trip to Jopan in June/July 2026. . We enjoyed the trips with the guides Ayumi San ( trip to Nikko ), Sunny San ( Kyoto ) , Yoshido San ( Nara and Osaka ) and Mayumi San ( Hiroshima) providing much needed background information on the place so we could get a broader perspective and have a richer experience.
A special thanks to Sandy who worked with us patiently, built and implemented an itinerary which worked for us. The accommodation, connectivity with trains and personal transports made the trip enjoyable so we could look forward to the places rather than logistics.
