Our trip to Morocco, arranged through KimKim, was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We have traveled extensively and have had all kinds of experiences. Everything on this trip exceeded our expectations.

Our private driver and guide, Mohammed, was outstanding — thoughtful, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to take care of our every need. The vehicle was very comfortable, and traveling from city to city felt easy and enjoyable.

Every riad and desert camp we stayed in was beautiful, comfortable, and full of authentic Moroccan charm. It’s hard to choose a single highlight because the entire experience was amazing — from the camel ride and desert night in the Sahara, to exploring Fez and Marrakech, to the cooking class we loved so much.

We had the special opportunity to share meals in local homes, which were among the most memorable moments of our journey. Visiting synagogues, mosques, and learning about Morocco’s rich blend of cultures — Berber, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim — left a lasting impression. We also enjoyed hikes in the countryside, a visit to the Majorelle Gardens, and a relaxing hammam and massage, which felt heavenly after all the walking.

Most of all, it was the warmth and kindness of the Moroccan people that made this trip so special. Every person we met welcomed us with open hearts and genuine smiles.

We can’t recommend this experience highly enough — Morocco captured our hearts, and we’re already dreaming of returning.

She was very easy to deal with and prompt in her responses. All through the trip she checked in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly and offered help when we couldn’t get into our first rental. We couldn’t figure out how to open the locked box. The drivers she arranged were always on time and made us feel well taken care of. The tour guides always had our reservations and if they were private tours they came to get us from our hotels. When we had to leave to catch our flights home Angelic had already phoned the hotel to make sure they would be there at 6:15 am to help us carry our luggage(if you’ve stayed in Santorini you would understand how important that is as the steep stairs are a bit crazy when you don’t live there! The hotels are beautiful on the cliff sides.) I have no complaints about the service we received from Kim Kim and Angelic at all and would recommend it to anyone!

We had fabulous trip to Iceland. We enjoyed the comfort of knowing that we had a solid itinerary planned for us, car and accommodations booked.
On arrival we got a call from the rental car company who met us and conveniently took us to our rental car. Everything was easy, which was really nice when you arrive at 6am without a good nights sleep.
We drove to The Secret Lagoon - which we enjoyed immensely. The place was clean, friendly and enjoyable.
Our first accommodations, Blue Hotel, was very nice. It was clean, friendly and quiet. The breakfast was really good. We also enjoyed the hot tub which was the perfect end to a day of touring.
The restaurant across the road - Mika - was excellent.
The day we spent seeing the sights on the Golden Circle was terrific. The directions were clear and the description were accurate.

Our next hotel in Vik, the Farm House was decent, but did not have the same warm vibe of the Blue Hotel. We had an issue with our door not locking. The solution from the staff was that “this is Iceland” no one will bother you. While this might be true we were not comfortable sleeping in an unlocked room. We did finally get the door to lock so it turned out fine in the end. We just were surprised that the staff did not seem to take our concerns seriously.

We stayed in one of the lodges which was nice. It had 2 rooms. But we suspect there might have been a mold issue- Dorian is very sensitive to mold and had an allergy flare up while staying there. (He was fine before and after our stay there.)
The breakfast was decent but nothing special.

The first day in the Vik area we saw the nearby glacier- which was incredible. We also went to the beach and enjoyed the views. We would recommend the su ur’Vik we had a very nice meal there and the service was great.

The second day in Vik we decided to scrap the itinerary which was a long day of driving to a park and another glacier. I’m sure would have been wonderful but we were tired of driving and wanted a day to rest. We went to the lava show - which we really enjoyed. Then a quick walk on the black sand beach. We would not recommend the halldorskaffi - the meal was not to our liking and the service was not friendly.

Our next stop was Reykjavik. We stayed at the Residents Inn. We were upgraded to a family suite. It was very nice, comfortable and convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful. One small thing is that this hotel has many locations so we ended up at the main location which was not where we were to stay. There was a lot of construction going on around the main building so we could not park near the entrance. Fortunately we decided not to take our luggage until we knew where we were going so it worked out fine. Just wanted to let you know for future reference.

We had a very fun evening wandering the streets of Reykjavik - great atmosphere loads of places to eat, drink and shop.

The next morning we walked to our whale watching tour with Elding. We enjoyed this immensely! The day was beautiful and we saw dolphins and 2 kinds of whales. 🐳

In the afternoon we walked to the local swimming pool - we throughly enjoyed the hot tubs and local custom of spending time soaking in the wonderfully warm waters. For dinner we went to the Hereford Steakhouse- another fabulous meal. I will also add that we really appreciated having breakfast included with our stay, they brought a very nice spread to the room each day with fresh bread delivered by 8am. This was a very thoughtful addition to the plan - thank you!

On the final day as we made our way to the airport we went to Seltun geothermal area.
The drive from Reykjavik to Seltun was beautiful! Would definitely recommend this detour.

I am not very tech savvy and maybe there is a way to do this that I am not aware of but one thing that was slightly annoying about the itinerary is that we had to scroll through the whole thing to get to each day’s plan. It might be easier if there were tabs for each day so you could go directly to the day without scrolling the whole thing. If there is a way to do this that I am not aware of perhaps a short tutorial on how to use the system would be helpful.

Thanks for planning a wonderful trip for us!!
We would recommend your services to others.

Restaurant was closed when we went, maybe because the main road outside the hotel was under construction. Very few other options for dinner. Good hotel otherwise. Seems like a place Peruvians go for business conferences.

We really enjoyed our trip to Spain.
The hotels were awesome and in great locations. All of the guides were wonderful; we learned so much about the history and culture of Spain. I feel ike our local contacts could have checked in with us more, but, when we reached out to them they were very responsive.
The overall trip was great. Thank you!

I was very pleased with the location of our hotel(Hotel Lorette-Astotel) in Paris. Its proximity to several metro lines made it very convenient for reaching desired locations.

Sebastian/kimkim did a great job and we had a great trip.

Our trip to Iceland was great - the landscape & scenery were amazing. Our accommodations were very good and easy to get to with the help of the navigation system in the car rental. We thoroughly enjoyed not having a packed schedule to follow. Adam provided us with quite a few sights to consider visiting, giving tips about each site and some do's and don'ts. The roads were good and easy to travel. The only thing we weren't able to see was the northern lights, but we knew that it was a 50/50 chance of catching sight of them. The hot chocolate was delicious everywhere we purchased it!!!! We received warm hospitality from everyone we encountered.

The only thing that was a little bit of a negative was the ice cave tour. Adam had emailed us about some not so good reviews for the blue ice cave tour. We changed to one that left out of Vik. Our tour guide was not the most cordial nor informative - he acted like it was a chore to be there. The pace he set for the climb up was pretty brisk without too much consideration for those who were having trouble keeping up - especially with the shoe spikes on. My husband went about halfway up the hike and decided that he could not keep up, walked back down & caught a ride with the group that left the hotel before us. The size of the cave itself was rather anti-climatic being that the hike was pretty intense and at times intimidating crossing the "bridges" over the water rushing down from the glacier.

We have used kimkim twice now to help plan a vacation, we will use them again and have recommended them to others.

Thank you,
Larry & Sharon Goins

Thanks for the review Larry.

I’m glad you had a great time in Iceland. I’m sorry to hear about the low quality of the Katla Ice Cave tour. The general look, size, and shape of the ice caves are things that constantly change and are beyond anyone’s control, but the supplier could definitely improve the quality of their service. We’ll pass your feedback along.

Thanks for your cooperation and fo trusting Kimkim,

She accommodated all of our needs, changes and tweaks with grace and patience. We had such a wonderful trip to Italy! Our itinerary was perfectly balanced and there were no hiccups. WE LOVED EVERY PART OF OUR TRIP!! The private guided tours of the Florence art museums and Pompeii were exceptional. Our day trip to Sienna and to two vineyards in Chianti were beautiful and the perfect pace after busy Rome. Our VERY favorite parts of the trip were 1) the private golf cart tour in Rome with Emanuele!! He was the GREATEST guide we have ever had, and our tour was very special, intimate and provided great access to Rome in a way we never would have had on our own, and by foot, and 2) the private sunset boat cruise from Sorrento to Capri was a memory we will NEVER forget! It was so special and intimate and access up close and around Capri was spectacular. We can't wait to schedule our next trip. Thank you, Sonia! We love KimKim.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on the day we arrived at Pinnacle, we did have an issue trying to check in because it was a holiday there. Our driver that day was amazing. My phone wouldn’t reach out to them, and he personally dialed the number, so I was able to upload what they needed and get into their key box. He also helped with our luggage. I can’t complement him enough. What would have been a stressful situation was resolved because of him.

The only other suggestion would be to not spend so much time in the airport. I think on three occasions we were there for three hours. Especially when it’s a small airport we couldn’t even check in at one until an hour before.

Thank you again sienna for an amazing experience. We would definitely use you again. Everything was so great.
