It was such a real pleasure organizing this journey for Luca and you, staying in touch throughout your trip. I’m glad you felt comfortable and well looked after; that’s exactly what we aim for!

Wishing you all the best in your future travels, and I hope Morocco will always hold a special place in your memories.

We had been to Japan before, and we knew how more expertise in our planning would be wise, especially since we insisted on private cultural experiences versus touristy attractions and crowds. Kimkim delivered on our desires and more.
Our local specialist Cannon was exceptional, and we really appreciated how he communicated with us. He made superb suggestions, was remarkably responsive and timely, and kept in touch daily during our trip. He always remained sensitive to our budget, and even sent us suggested walking routes when we were on our own leisure time. At one point, he even offered to be our translator when a medical mishap occurred, and he stepped up his behind-the-scenes updates with our guides and drivers accordingly.
Our thanks to guide Akiko (Hiroshima & Miyajima Island), driver Gong (Beppu, Kurokawa Onsen & Fukuoka), and driver Naru (Sapporo & Lake Toya): each of your added specialties added to our trip wonderfully.

Overall, our Italy trip was wonderful. Our itinerary was packed but allowed enough down time to relax and explore each destination. Alessia, our concierge, was very attentive and did all she could to make sure everything went smoothly. We enjoyed spending time with her in Venice; she took special care selecting locations for the food tour so that we could try different local specialties. We also enjoyed the Venice walking tour. In Florence, the Tuscany tour was amazing! There was a communication problem regarding our transfer from Florence to Rome, the driver notified the hotel staff that he was waiting for us at the entrance but apparently didn’t communicate with the local concierge who was not yet at the hotel. The driver took us to the train station without the concierge, which led to some confusion and frustration. The concierge met us at the train station; we made our train without any issue. Once in Rome, the Colosseum tour was disappointing. The guide was unprepared and disorganized. It was a very hot day but didn’t try to find shade, spent an especially long time on Palatine Hill, leaving everyone on the tour wandering around. The tour ended about 30 mins early in the middle of the Colosseum, didn’t give us the opportunity to climb the stairs or go to the bottom floor. After this tour, there was another communication problem with the driver. Alessia contacted us with a driver change about 30 mins before the tour was to end (we were already dismissed and exploring), then a few minutes later a driver also contacted us, saying he was there. We then hurried to exit, he asked where we were, we did our best to describe our surroundings and sent pictures but failed to find him, after about 45mins of back and forth messages with the driver, struggling with WhatsApp to try to figure out how to send photos and receive phone calls, we cancelled the ride and walked back to the hotel. The Vatican City tour the following day was much better, despite being very crowded, our guide did a good job managing the group and was organized and knowledgeable. Our transfers to Sorrento and Sicily went smoothly. At our request, Alessia was able to reschedule our Capri boat tour which saved us from a rainy day. We loved the tour in Palermo, the crypts were extraordinary, and we had fun learning about the unique attractions. The guide was well educated and eager to show us around the city.
Except for some communication issues and a bad tour experience, our trip was great. One suggestion would be for drivers to communicate through the concierge and not directly with clients. This may have saved us some frustration. WhatsApp works well for text messaging, but I was unable to accept phone calls, perhaps more instruction is needed prior to travel.

The room was spacious and had the best shower of all of the Italian hotels we visited. Most importantly, the staff was amazing! They helped us navigate the area and recommend restaurants. One of the team members went out of his way to lend us his personal luggage scale when we were unable to find a way to ship purchased items home!

This tour was disappointing. The guide was unprepared and disorganized. It was a very hot day but we spent an especially long time on Palatine Hill, without the guide making any effort to find shade and leaving everyone on the tour wandering around wondering when we would move on. The guide did show us one of the special exhibits in the Forum that featured Egyptian art but didn't have much else to offer during the tour of the Forum. We were excited to explore the colosseum, she mentioned climbing the stairs but dismissed the tour group about 30 mins early in the middle of the Colosseum, without giving us the opportunity or showing us where to climb the stairs or go to the bottom floor (which she said was a separate ticket).

Our cruise on the Vitava River was a great way to begin our tour of Prague. Unfortunately, our city tour was plagued by rain, but our guide, Katarina, worked around it. In fact, she found a wonderful cafe where we were able to dry and warm up while watching the Astronomical Clock do its thing. At night we enjoyed an amazing classical concert at the Spanish Synagogue.

Our guide for our Jewish Prague tour, Zaza, was extraordinary! She was very sweet and so smart! We were very fortunate to have her.

Our last day in Terezin was very moving. Again our guide was so full of knowledge. All in all we enjoyed Prague very much.

Hi Carmel,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback - I’m truly delighted to hear that your trip was exciting, informative, and filled with memorable experiences. It warms my heart to know you enjoyed the company of your wonderful guides - Delianne, Jack, and John will be so happy to hear your kind words. I love that John took you to Churchill’s gravesite - what a meaningful and unexpected touch.

I completely understand how you felt about the Windsor–Stonehenge–Bath day - it’s such a shame when something so special feels a little too rushed. Those big multi-stop tours do try to fit in a lot, and sometimes that means you don’t get the quiet moments to truly take it all in. Your idea of taking the train to Windsor instead is absolutely lovely — it allows time to wander, linger, and really feel the magic of the place at your own rhythm. I’ll be sure to keep that wonderful suggestion in mind for next adventures, and share it with future travellers who, like you, want to experience England in a more meaningful way.

I’m so pleased you enjoyed The Savoy dining experience and that Wimbledon looked after you and your husband so well. Thank you again for being such a kind and thoughtful traveller ❤️

Wishing you both many more wonderful travels ahead — hopefully with more time to linger and enjoy each moment!

With love,

I don't have enough positive things to say about our experience with KimKim and Original Travels. Not only was the service super easy to use, but having a local plan our trip made the experience all the more special. It felt like we were really able to maximize the limited time we had in Morocco and leave having gotten a great overview of the country, which is no easy feat given how much there is to see and experience (I will definitely be going back!). A special shoutout to Ali and Said who were very responsive, easy to communicate with, and did an excellent job customizing our experience to us.

Perhaps the true star of our trip, however, was our local driver, Tayeb. He went above and beyond in making us feel welcome — meeting all of our needs, providing great recommendations, keeping us safe, and teaching us so much about Moroccan history and culture. He made our experience unforgettable, and we left feeling like we'd made a true friend. Make sure to request him directly when you book! You'll be in the best of hands.

Hotel Reviews
Arenal Country Inn
La Fortuna

Nice staff and nice rooms.

Authenticity & Character
Beautiful botanicals all over, well maintained.
Location
Location was on a busy road with limited side walk options, so the 10 minute walk to town was a little scary, we didn’t feel comfortable doing it at night. But it is walkable to downtown and there is lots of shops and restaurants! If you walk the opposite direction of downtown there is a beautiful river and rope swing that we enjoyed a lot.
Staff
Staff was very nice and helpful with any questions. Felicia the cat is also very nice and welcomes pets.
Cleanliness & Comfort
This place was nice, definitely seemed a little more out of date than the other places we stayed. But some of the rooms were under renovation while we were staying so probably will be updated soon.
Karahé Beach Hotel
Manuel Antonio

This hotel is practically right on the beach which makes us an ideal location. You will see monkeys and we also saw a sloth that was hanging out during our stay. Hotel restaurant and bar right on the beach.

Authenticity & Character
Location
If you want to stay by the beach this is definitely the place to stay. Walking distance down the beach to the national park and lots of restaurants and shopping. The hotel is located well so it’s not very crowded on beach

Staff was nice.
Cleanliness & Comfort
This hotel didn’t seem as clean as the others we stayed at, but it wasn’t bad by any means. The room also didn’t have a tv with streaming options, just local tv. But it did have a lovely balcony and a nice hot shower.
Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

We were booked in the private apartment that is a little down the block and it was EXTREMELY nice. It was modern, clean, and very comfortable. On top of having lovely accommodations, the staff was extremely helpful and nice. They gave us advice to change our reservation time to earlier because of rain and then handled it for us. They also recommended a night tour and were able to book that for us too. It’s also pretty close and easy walk to the downtown location. I would without a doubt stay here again.

Authenticity & Character
Beautiful view at breakfast, amazing room, very clean and well maintained.

Lovely place with excellent host (Christine). It was a bit far out of town, perhaps 8 minutes to walk down to the village but much longer to walk back up the steep hill, and the hotel only served breakfast, so there was no other option in the evenings. Still, i'd stay here again.

Every day was absolutely perfect for us. Hotel locations were excellent, recommendations by Jane/KimKim were spot on. The one and only glitch was when we arrived at the airport, the driver wasn’t there. We phoned and they had planned for the next day. However they immediately came to retrieve us, so no major impact. Fortunately the weather was also perfect with the very first rain drops en route to the airport to leave. Thank you Jane, and I will definitely be using KimKim again in the future!
