Kimkim Trip Reviews

Thanks to this planning and booking, we had a wonderful time in Iceland. It gave us a great launching point, with plenty of time to experience things and make slight modifications. Starting off with the Reykjavik food tour was excellent. One suggestion was a glacial tour, which was incredibly fun. Another of our amazing experiences was horse riding in the Westman Islands.

Overall great trip to Norway! Tom was really great to work with, responsive and helpful with all of my questions and changes regarding the planning process. Our trip went smoothly and we really enjoyed our time. There were a few things that were slightly underwhelming that I would maybe change or want others to be aware of.

1. The Wangen Apartments in Aurland had a LOT of construction. They were paving some areas and it smelt of hot asphalt when we pulled up to the hotel so it was very off putting right from the start. I was not made aware that there was any construction going on. There was no lobby since everything was under construction. The view from the room was phenomenal, but the rooms were tiny! It would be ok for 2 people but for a family of 4 you absolutely need more space. The bedroom was extremely small no room to even walk around the bed. The mattress pads (not even a normal mattress) would slip off the bed and you could not open/close the bedroom door it was so small. The black out shades in the bedroom had huge spaces around the edges and light shown right into your eyes. There was no air or AC and it felt very hot and stuffy at times. Living rooms had no blackout shades so children sleeping on the pull out couch had a very hard time falling asleep at night. No closet or room for any luggage. Bedding felt cheap and scratchy. Overall this hotel was a disappointment and felt more budget level. I might stay here again because the view was so good, but I would wait until construction is done and I would get a much bigger room!

2. While the lunch at Mt. Ulriken was nice, I didn’t think it was a very good child friendly space, and should not be recommended for small children. It’s a very slow 3course meal and they were very slow between courses. I would only recommend this for adults. We also went to Floyen which was not recommended by Tom, but should have been as it was much better for kids since there are fantastic parks and lots to do!

We had a wonderful week in Mexico! Rene was wonderful to work with; he took the time to get to know what we wanted from our vacation and was key in helping plan unique side-trips and an immersive language experience. We had great guides and drivers throughout and enjoyed the unstructured time we had to explore. Thank you!

This was an AMAZING trip! Everything was planned and coordinated and it worked out perfectly. Sienna and Leah were very receptive and quick to respond to any questions. All of the transfers were taken care of and the hotels were above and beyond expectations with service, cleanliness and location. Would definitely use Kim Kim again and recommend!!!!

A must do if you want to be on the sea and experience the natural beauty of Paros! Our guide was very helpful and let us set the pace for ourselves. We went around the point of Paros Park and got to swim, and hike up to the lighthouse, where she prepared an amazing picnic lunch. She had snorkeling gear, but the water was so clear we didn’t even need to use!

Guide was amazing! It was clear she loved what she was doing. She did not rush and explained a lot about the surroundings.

Transport

a bit tricky with drop off/pick up; the area is very small, so using the Paros Park museum as a landmark is helpful. If you drive yourself, there is parking here or along the street. If a transport service drives you, tell them Monastiri Beach or the museum as a drop off/pick up.

Transport

Train ride to Flam was impressive

Some parts of our trip were above and beyond our expectations. Our 5-night stay in Amboise was very charming and lovely - however it was a one mile walk to ANYTHING, including restaurants and tour meeting points. From speaking to our specialist, I assumed that our tour group would pick us up and drop us off at our hotel - not so. Also, I told the specialist how much I disliked crowds, and our trip to Monet's garden was on a 100 person double decker bus, and into a tremendously crowded area, where it was difficult to enjoy the garden.

I can't speak highly enough about the team from Say Hue Que in Buenos Aires, Micaela, Mila and Camilla. You ladies are fantastic. You made our trip from planning to execution to emergency hospital visit run so smoothly. You also linked us up with some amazing guides, in particular Carlos from Condor Travel in Peru, who was with us for six days, including four days walking the Inca Trail. His knowledge of Incan history, flora and fauna was exceptional. And a huge shout to our chef, Wilbur and his team of porters who made it possible for us to complete the Inca Trail. Who thought we could eat restaurant quality food in the middle of the Andes, miles from anywhere. You always had smiles on your faces and your speed and agility on the trail was mind blowing.
Lake Titicaca was also a beautiful place, but more than the floating reed islands of Uros, which were fascinating. Our guide, Abad, also from Condor Travel, lead us for two days hiking Taquile Island, cycling the Luquina Peninsula and kayaking along the coast of the lake. He helped us create memories of a lifetime!
Our guides in Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls also did a good job but as we had small group tours (we had private tours in Peru) we didn't get to know them so well.

Activity Reviews

Program Uros, Taquile, Luquina - Day 1

Puno

Our guide Abad made the two days a memorable experience. Viewing the lake from different perspectives gives Lake Titicaca more life. Everyone goes to see the Uros Islands, the floating reed islands, which are incredible, as are the people who live on them. But Lake Titicaca at 4000m, is more than that and to experience it hiking, cycling and kayaking is a great experience as you get to see different perspectives of the region. The home stay was also great to do.

Unforgettable Journey Through Morocco with KimKim Travel and Our Amazing Driver, Ilyace.

My wife and I recently returned from an incredible trip to Morocco, meticulously planned by KimKim Travel, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything was seamless, thoughtfully curated, and stress-free — allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the magic and beauty of this fascinating country.

Our journey took us from the bustling city of Casablanca, to the serene blue streets of Chefchaouen, the rich culture and history of Fes, the awe-inspiring dunes of Merzouga in the Sahara Desert, the peaceful palm groves of Skoura, and finally to the vibrant, colorful energy of Marrakesh.

Every destination offered something unique, and KimKim's local team, including Sharif in Fes and Hanan in Marrakesh, ensured that we experienced each place in a truly authentic and comfortable way.

One of the standout aspects of our trip was the fantastic lodging arranged for us. Each riad and hotel was not only beautiful and welcoming but also ideally located and reflective of the local character. We felt like every stop was a special experience, thanks to the thoughtful accommodations.

A major highlight of our journey was our private driver, Ilyace. From the moment he picked us up, we knew we were in great hands. He was incredibly professional, punctual, and knowledgeable — but more than that, he was kind, personable, and genuinely passionate about sharing his country with us. His insights, recommendations, and stories enriched every leg of the trip, and we felt both safe and cared for throughout. Ilyace truly went above and beyond, and we can’t thank him enough.

In summary, we wholeheartedly recommend KimKim and their Moroccan team to anyone considering a trip to Morocco. Their attention to detail, personalized approach, and the wonderful local connections (like Ilyace!) made our trip unforgettable. We came home with not only beautiful memories but a deep appreciation for the culture, landscape, and people of Morocco.

We just returned from our trip to the Isle of Skye arranged by Kateryna. I was having trouble finding transportation from Ft Williams (where we ended our West Highland Way walk) to the Isle of Skye. I also wanted a driver/guide for our 3 days there. I contacted KimKim and Kateryna responded promptly. She was able to arrange a driver to pick us up in Ft Williams and drive us to Isle of Skye. The drivers (Brian and his son Ian) were excellent. They were prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. We lucked out with perfect weather to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Highly recommend Kateryna to plan a trip to Scotland.

Sardinia is beautiful and we loved the activities scheduled for us. The hotels were lovely and well situated. The guides for all our activities were knowledgeable and personable. There were a few minor glitches-our driver was given the wrong address for the car rental center which caused some stress. Our driver from the airport had some difficulty finding the hotel in Cagliari and did not speak any English so there were some communication challenges. We had previously booked a trip to Portugal with KimKim and it was flawless, so we were expecting the same for this trip. Overall the trip was great and we will likely book through KimKim again for future travel.

Guides were excellent. Very knowledgeable of the history and traditions. The food choices were great
