Kimkim Trip Reviews

We had a terrific time in Belize. Our guide in St Ignacio was wonderful and he took us to the Mayan ruins and also took us on the river swim and a hike. In Hopkins village we stayed at Jaguar Reef which was an amazing property. We really loved Belize and the Belizian people and we will be back. Thanks so much for planning a great trip for us.

Our trip to Quito and The Galapagos was terrific. The guides were all terrific, Jose is Quito was pleasant, efficient, informative and very helpful. The traffic in Quito is quite challenging, we were glad Jose was driving. We needed a stop at a pharmacy and Jose bilingual skills were a great help. We loved the interactive experiences at The Center of the World, seeing the gold leaf churches with the native animal gargoyles and the chocolate shop. Salome met us at Baltra, ferrying us to our driver. We visited the Highlands, Tortoise Ranch, Lava Tunnel and Darwin's Research Center. All was very interesting. Salome took extra time to tell us the story of Lonesome George and we were impressed with the Tortoise nursery. At the Tortoise ranch we were surprised by how active the tortoises were, but it was mating season. We met Diego later who immediately helped my husband find medical care for a gash he got after a fall, (transitioning from bright sunlight to dark wearing sunglasses is not the best idea). Our visits to uninhabited islands and snorkling were very interesting and fun. We were very happy with the accommodations on the day cruiser, Ricardo our guide, the crew and a delicious lunch. on our day off we enjoyed a walk to Tortuga Bay and took the ferry back. We loved Santa Cruz. Next stop was Isabela which we also loved. The speed ferry over was great but the harbor is frenetic and we were running late. Our guide, Julio kept us on track. In hindsight we could have skipped the kayaking, however, we did see a tiger shark. The tour on Las Tintoreras was interesting. The snorkel at Los Tuneles was a favorite. Our guide was skilled and personable and knew how to shepherd us. He photographed our experiences and interactions with the sea life we encountered and allowed us to download to our phones. Brilliant! We did rent bikes and went out to The Wall of Tears. It was a long ride and of course it was always hot. We were glad to have done it. San Cristobal was next, Julio was very helpful at the airport. Javier (Pico) made sure we were ready for Kicker Rock which was over the top. The scuba divers saw the Hammerhead sharks, but the snorkelers saw lots of fish, sea turtles and white tip sharks. The brought everyone to a bay first to assess skills then we were off the Kicker rock. The guides on the boat were TERRIFIC. The seas were rough and we had many different skill levels. The guides were professional, kind and safety conscience above all. Our last day we were able to fit in a walk to La Loberia and Barranco which was harder than expected. Pico was very good getting us there and back before a rain storm hit. Off to Quito and a final meeting with Jose picking us up then dropping us off at the airport. It was a very active trip which we enjoyed immensely, the guides made everything run smoothly in a very relaxed way.

Our trip was very well organized, with drivers and guides on time and completely knowledgeable. Our guides in Izamal, Chichen Itza and Meridad were outstanding! The drivers were excellent as well! The Hacienda Merida was a gem of a hotel, located in the heart of the Historic District. The rooms were very spacious and colonial style, with a delicious breakfast. El Meson del Marques in Valladolid was lacking. The location is excellent, but rooms are tiny, with no amenities at all! Not even a bathroom hook! Kind of disappointing, although their restaurant is outstanding! Much, much better than the two recommendations we got for Museo de la Gastronomica in Merida and El Atrio del Mayab in Valladolid. Our excursion to Rio Largartos was special, as was Ek Balam! A special shout-out to Luz Ma, who helped me greatly all during the trip, with questions and concerns I had. She went out of her way to be in touch with me immediately and make everything right. I would definitely recommend Kimkim for anyone looking to go to Mexico. Thank you for all of your help in making my trip so special.

Hotel Reviews

El Mesón del Marqués

Valladolid

This hotel gets three stars because of its location. The hotel is nice looking, with lots of trees and plants all around, but the rooms are sorely lacking in everything! Uncomfortable beds and pillows, no hooks in the bathroom, tiny rooms, etc. I requested and paid for a "balcony" room, and got a "Juliet" balcony room. No room for a chair to sit! Was disappointed. The restaurant is outstanding and wished I had eaten there for dinner, instead of the recommendation we got.

Francis was absolutely amazing to work with. He was super responsive the entire trip. Basically everything went according to plan, and when minor hiccups came up, Francis was always available to quickly resolve them via phone call.

It was also great that we were able to make s adjustments to the itinerary to accommodate how our children (3 and 7) were doing. We had a phone call with Harry at the beginning of planning and it was so helpful to be able to share the concerns we had about traveling with small kids, while also trying to do a trip in the DR that was outside of the typical all inclusives and beaten pathy. There is no way we could have managed this trip on our own. We had a rich experience, seeing the beautiful mountains and waterfalls of the interiors, visiting a cocoa farm where our kids got to learn the whole process from tree to bar & we bought the most delicious chocolate ever, and then we headed to the beach --- but to a small quieter beach town and a very thoughtful small hotel that had what we needed & was so lovely. All the drivers hired were helpful and Francis was just a text away in case of any issues.

Overall, we had an amazing time, and got to have a bunch of super memorable experiences over the course of the trip. We would definitely look into booking with kimkim again and will certainly reach out to Harry and Francis when we are ready to head back to the DR.

The Kimkim travel team, especially Shalindra, planned an absolutely magical 5 day trip to Sri Lanka for us!
Kanishka was our guide and we cant rate his guide and chauffeur skills highly enough! He is a genuinely kind and knowledgeable person!
He anticipated our every need with every excursion, and once he got to know us, even planned a few unexpected ones that turned out to be some of our very favourite memories.
Please recommend him HIGHLY to ALL of your clients and we will do the same once we get back to Abu Dhabi!
The Deer Park and Amaya Hills hotels were among some of the best we’ve ever stayed in and the staff are super friendly and accommodating.
The elephant safari in Minneriya, Dambulla Rock Temple, Kandy, Temple of the Sacred Tooth, Lion Rock and bathing the elephants at the elephant orphanage are absolute must sees!
Sri Lanka is a magical country and we will definitely be visiting again!!

Hilda did a wonderful job coming up with things to do and then coordinating everything. I had no idea where to start. I told her what kind of things we like to do and she designed a great trip centered around what we like to do. She also stayed in contact with us throughout the trip and made sure we knew how to navigate all of the travel between cities.

We can not express how wonderful our intro to India with Wind Horse via Kim Kim was from start to finish! Our lives are quite busy so we handed over the arduous task of trip planning our Golden Triangle and Rajasthan tour to Rajat who gave us multiple options and the flexibility to change itineraries to our liking. India is a large country and our google searches frequently mentioned the need to plan local transport well in advance, so if early planning is not your strong suit, Kim Kim is well worth the money.

Our guide Rahul was friendly, experienced, and knowledgeable answering our probing questions with ease. Flexibility continued to be demonstrated while on our tour, when we decided to deviate from our itinerary with a palm reading. We simply asked Rahul if he knew of a good one and within minutes an appointment was confirmed! Then miraculously we were given the option to attend a polo game since it happened to be polo season and low and behold we also met the maharaja of Jaipur after his play! We were able to push our plans to the next day so we didn’t miss a beat. Rahul even assisted my husband in setting up a romantic birthday dinner. He was just wonderful throughout the entire experience.

During the trip, Rajat checked in on us regularly and was extremely helpful in assisting in delivering my forgotten items at a hotel to our next destination. Our driver Rajendra navigated the wild congested roads of India and got us to our destinations safely and smoothly.

Only thing I would change is the location of the hotels. We tend to like to explore the city at night but many of our hotels while still in the city, were just a bit far on foot from the center. Locations made sense to avoid traffic but this was really on me for not researching with my own needs in mind before confirming the itinerary as the option to change hotels was available.

Because of this experience, I would without a doubt use Wind Horse/Kim Kim again for future plans to India.

Our family had a wonderful time in Cartagena.
Our driver Julio and our guide Gustavo were very knowledgeable and very friendly.
Our one day tour of Barranquilla was also very enjoyable, our guide Álvaro gave us a very good overview of the city and all the places of interest.
Our only bad experience was at isla del Rosario where the first of our two day stay there was no running water, not to take a bath or use the toilet, also I had a rash on my torso that looked like bedbugs bites. Other than that the food was delicious and the personnel very friendly.

Our trip to Morocco was truly the trip of a lifetime.

The itinerary created by Hassan was expertly designed with the perfect balance of structured tours and free time, allowing us to see the highlights without ever feeling rushed. Too often, vacations can feel like a marathon, but this schedule offered the perfect mix of structured tours and unstructured free time. We never felt rushed, and we had plenty of opportunities to wander or enjoy a mint tea at our own pace.

The real secret to our trip’s success was our driver and guide, Mohammed. He was absolutely fantastic—professional, knowledgeable, personable and always went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and happy. All of our local city guides were equally impressive, bringing the history of Morocco and the Medinas to life.

Everything was seamless, authentic, and unforgettable. We can’t wait to go back and book through this team again!

This is the first time we've taken a trip that was pre-arranged with a trip specialist and it went amazingly well. Everything was taken care of for us, from transfers to hotels and outings. It was great to not have to worry about arranging that ourselves. All transfers and trips went smoothly and we didn't have to worry about trying to contact anyone for no shows. We really enjoyed our outings, especially our riverboat experience on the Rio frio with Canoa Aventura And our guide. Jorge. Jorge was amazingly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and made our wildlife excursion very enjoyable and educational. We got to see sloths and monkeys and an amazing variety of bird life.
All in all our trip was stress-free for the most part and very enjoyable. We will definitely consider Kim Kim for future trips.

Chicken Itza and Siam Ka’an were fantastic experiences made eve better by our guides. Ana Sophia did an outstanding job planning the trip and itinerary. Once there, our local specialist Luz arranged for pickup and all the on-the-ground coordination as well as informing us the night before what the next day’s activities will be.

Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique Hotel

Playa del Carmen

A nice hotel, but maybe getting a bit long in the tooth. Helpful staff. The pool is nothing special and the beach is just okay. It was all inclusive so food and drinks are part of the package. Be sure to bring ample cash and make sure to tip, and tip often. Three large projects are being developed right next to it which may be a bit overwhelming in the future. I’d give the Blue Diamond a solid four stars…but definitely doesn’t approach a five-star property.

Raquel was born and raised in SEville, and was a true ambassador for the city. Her love for her city and it’s history was clear, and she loved sharing it with us.
Thank you Kim Kim and Alfonso for an amazing Spain trip.

Valentine is simply the best. She put together an incredible vacation for me and my teenage daughter on very short notice — just two months — and somehow made a magical multi-stop trip across Switzerland that met our requirements (no driving, nice hotels in walking distance to train and fun snow activities in the Alps)

As someone who listened to a meticulous planner, I was blown away by her attention to detail. Every piece of the itinerary was thoughtfully designed, organized, and easy to follow. And when the inevitable travel hiccups popped up — in our case, winter weather in Switzerland — Valentine and her team at Mobee International were proactive and completely on top of it.

What truly set her apart was the personal touch. She scheduled a video call with me and my daughter early on to hear what we were hoping to experience before planning the trip, checked in with us at multiple points along the way, suggested new opportunities we might enjoy, and made herself available on short notice whenever we needed her. We always felt supported.

I honestly can’t say enough great things about Valentine and her team at Mobee. If you’re looking for thoughtful planning, genuine care, and top-notch service, she’s the one.
