We could not have asked for a more perfect vacation thanks to KimKim. Everything that we had planned and scheduled for us ran extremely smoothly and really gave us the picture of Italy we had hoped to discover. The transportation between locations (trains, private cars, etc) all ran as well as you could expect even with some delays.

All of the private tours we got to go on were incredible, and led by the perfect people! Suzy and Valerio in Venice, Paola and Semonetta (?) leading our cooking class in Chianti, Massimo and Marco doing our colosseum and Ape tours in Rome, and Christian as our skipper for our boat ride in Sorrento. Everybody was welcoming and excited to share the rich history and culture of all the parts of Italy with us, it really helped us get immersed and lose ourselves in the beauty of it all.

An added bonus of course was having the travel team available pretty much all day every day when we had hiccups come up. It was always a quick response to get us back on track, and options when things started to go awry.

And the most thank you to Tasos for setting up this perfect trip and all of his recommendations as we were trying to decide what to do and where to go. He even left us an anniversary present at our 2nd accommodation which was very sweet!

All in all, we got to explore all over Italy without having to worry about any tiny details. We got to go at our own pace and when we did have tours events planned, we could just show up to places when we needed to and get taken care of. We will use KimKim on our next international vacation and any trips that come up in the future!

We stayed at the Eliasson Robauer which was scenic and ate at the restaurant there, the Gadus. I would recommend getting reservations if eating there. It was very good, especially the fish. The next day we drove to Svolvaer. We stopped at the blacksmith shop in Sund, and although off season in October we were able to get in. The owner was informative and entertaining and we bought a cormorant statue he made. In Svolvaer we went on the Trollfjord cruise. It was foggy and overcast an gave the surrounding mountains a magical feeling. We enjoyed going into the fjord. The highlight of our trip was hanging with the Huskies outside Tromso. The dogs were all friendly and playful. The bacalao soup was tasty and the clouds opened up just enough to see the Northern Lights. While there we experienced the first snow of the year. The next day we went to the Polar Museum. It was fabulous, definitely recommended. After that we ate at Skirri. Fresh fried cod as well as fresh sushi from the Japanese restaurant next door were the best. On our last night we went on the Aurora cruise. It was very peaceful, but cloudy and not much of a view, other than darkness and lights on the shore. The food was gourmet style, unusual foods and small portions, not our thing. Overall a great trip, not a single problem. Thank you Fenne and Mar!

This is one of the most beautiful and memorable hotels of our trip, set on a lush landscape reminiscent of a time gone by. The accommodations are beautiful and luxurious, and make you feel as if you are living as a Welsh royal. The furnishings are beautifully restored, and the main house fireplaces and lounging areas make you feel as if you are at home. The restaurant chef makes incredible, sustainable meals with produce grown in their garden. It is a special place, and we'll definitely be back!

The guide was amazingly knowledgeable and enabled us to enjoy the ceremonial aspects of the changing of the guards, rather than just stand in front of the gates and "wait" for the guards to change locations. We enjoyed the music, the array of different guards and their various roles/dress, etc.

It was nice to have a reliable local driving us; it made it so that we could focus on exploring and site seeing, without having to worry about the logistics. He also introduced us to some great new music and was up for some good laughs along the way. He took us too some hidden gems, including an excellent place to by dates. It really was fantastic to have someone local who could direct us to the best restaurants, coffee spots, clean bathrooms, etc. I was really impressed how he well he knew all the areas we toured and was always ready to take us to the next cool spot to explore. He showed us how lovely and kind the people of Morocco are, both with our first hand experience with him, and by our interactions with others along the journey. He also made sure we ate the best of what Morocco offers! Olives, dates, warm breads, goat cheese,
so many tagiens and of course couscous Friday. Thank you Youness!

My favorite place on the trip was Fes. The city was beautiful and the blue everywhere was really spectacular, especially from the view at our hotel, Dar Jasmine. I would love to return to both the city and the hotel. We had an excellent day tour with Zarah, who knew the city well and clearly loved where she is from. Having her take us through the Medina was a real treat; she navigated it perfectly and explained the different sections as we explored. She also took us to an excellent place for street food / kabobs where many locals were eating. The Medina in Fes had something for everyone; we were looking for high quality rugs and other gifts and Zarah was able to help us find what we were looking for. We also really enjoyed seeing the pottery made outside of the Medina.... and definitely bought a few beautiful pieces that we will have forever.

The Medina in Marrakech was also a lot of fun; it was much larger, busier and had more energy than Fes, which was part of the experience and the fun. We had another excellent day tour through this Medina with Ahmed, who filled us in on both the history and current happenings, along with helping us navigate the maze and find the types of markets we were looking for.

Thank you Youness and the kimkim team!

Marrakech's bustling Medina also had its charm, and Ahmed's day tour added historical context and helped you navigate the lively maze.

My Nepal trip via local connection with Nepal Myths and Mountain Trails (NMMT) was great and rewarding. The local connection with Ngima D , who organized my trekking journey to Everest base camp, made the trip stress free and absolutely one of my favorite trip. I appreciate the clear communications between Nigma, his team and I, any issues were addressed immediately. My trip was approximately 20 days, long trips can have few instances that could derail the trip, however, Ngima D Nuru (guide ) and the porter , Nigma T, made my trip very enjoyable and worry free. Nuru was an excellent guide, his energy was always positive and encouraging. I was concerned about altitude sickness , but being with Nuru, he looked after my health as well; asking how I feel everyday, gave suggestions on food, warm water, tea, proper hydration. Ngima T, the porter, would sometimes trekked ahead , dropped his bag at the lodge/hotel, then trek back down and assist with my backpack because some sections were difficult and strenuous. I was able to avoid high altitude sickness that would've prevented trekking to EBC and I was also able to trek to Kalapathra , to have a 360 view of Mt. Everest and the surrounding mountain ranges. I did this trip as a solo traveler, being able to share moments with the local expert, guide and porter, made the trip fun and exciting , because I learned so much about the culture and history of Nepal, especially, the sherpas. Ngima D , took me out for dinner and lunch during my last couple days as I rest up to return home. This trip has been excellent thanks to Ngima D, Nuru, and Nigma T, who made it so enjoyable and memorable. I hope to return to Nepal when I am ready for another challenge.

We truly enjoyed our trip to Geneva, Switzerland and Chamonix, Annecy, and Lyon, France. Mathilde, our local specialist did a fine job planning just the right mix of activities with down time to relax. The hotels she chose for us were conveniently located to the attractions we wanted to visit, and all featured comfortable rooms, and wonderful breakfasts. The Edelweiss Hotel in Geneva was filled with local color, including rustic Swiss mountain lodge decor and a musician in its restaurant who sang, yodeled, played the accordion and the long mountain horn of the region. What fun! A friendly driver picked us up at the hotel and drove us to our next destination, Chamonix.
We loved Chamonix! It's a very picturesque town, where we were guided by the excellent Aude, who helped us to understand the rich heritage of the town. We were in awe of the jaw-dropping vistas seen from l'Aiguille du Midi. Guide Armony accompanied us up the mountain on the cable car, and showed us the various levels and viewing points along the way. Without her guidance, we wouldn't have experienced half of the sights from the mountain. She was wonderful! In Chamonix, a driver picked us up and took us to Annecy, about an hour away. Going by car was super convenient.
In Annecy, we were reunited with Aude, who had shown us around Chamonix. Again, she was friendly and informative. It was Sunday, a beautiful day, and the streets of the town were packed! Aude knew how to negotiate the narrow streets and get us samples of local foods so that we could experience the tastes as well as the ambiance of this very charming town. In our free time, we took boat tours of both Lake Geneva and Lake Annecy, both incredibly picturesque. We were blessed the whole time with sunny skies and mild temperatures.
We left Annecy and took the train to Lyon. From the station, we took a taxi to the meeting point where we joined a group to take the Beaujolais Golden Stones tour. There were 2 vans, each with 8 tourists and a guide. We rode for about 40 minutes through beautiful hills and picturesque towns, then stopped at a lovely overlook where our guides Clémence and Agathe told the story of the area's heritage in wine production, and poured samples of white, rosé and red wines of the region. The served delicious croissants and pastries to accompany the wine. We then proceeded to a gorgeous village called Oingt that dated from the Middle Ages, and on to Domaine de fond-Vieille, vineyards and winery. The proprietor, Dominique showed us his vines and explained how the wine is produced. We then sampled his wines, white, rosé and red along with delicious cheeses and charcuterie of the region. We had plenty of time in the vans to chat with our fellow tourists, and enjoyed getting to know people from the Netherlands, Japan, New Zealand, the UK, and Canada.
The next day we wandered Lyon, taking the funicular up to the high town, visiting the Basilica at the top, and the Roman ruins of Lugundum. A delicious déjeuner at the Rooftop restaurant of Christian Tetedoie overlooking Lyon way was the perfect way to end our visit.
Thank you to Mathilde for all your hard work, and to Amandine for helping when Mathilde was on vacation. The next time we travel to Europe, we will definitely use Kimkim to help plan our adventure!

Where to start describing our wonderful Italy vacation. Ina with KimKim did a great job in the planning process and was very helpful in making our dream trip come true. Total of 11 days with stays in Rome, a Tuscany Villa and Amalfi. Every detail was laid out with precision and went off without a hitch. I can't tell you how much stress was relieved by the seamless execution. I think we only had to contact the CareTeam twice and they were quick to reply and address any question or small change. All the drivers that picked us up and took us from point A to B were always on time and professional. Our train tickets were all provided and the timing worked well every time. Car rental was arranged and met every expectation. We had private tours of Pompeii, Capri and the Colussim as well as a cooking class. Pompeii was definitely my favorite, our guide had a passion and extensive knowledge that she shared and made the tour amazing. All the recommendations for sites, walking tours and restaurants during our self guided time were spot on. It saved a lot of time so we were not doing all the research.
Most of the people in Italy were awesome and engaging. A few not as much. Food in the 3 different regions was different - most very good, some ok. The boat trip from Patisano to Capri was a little long. Started at 9am and we got back about 6:30 pm. It was absolutely beautiful!! Our stop on Capri for lunch could have been a little earlier, maybe around 12 or 1 instead of 2 or 3. Bring snacks with you.
Overall fantastic memories and Thank you for working with us to make it happen

Just returned from our fabulous tour of Morocco! We were met at Casablanca Airport by our trip Driver/Guide, Samir who not only most knowledgeable about Morocco but an expert driver who managed the sometimes tricky roads of Morocco with ease. I should mention this is our third visit to Morocco with the first one being only 55 years ago. Obviously things have changed and for the better since then.
After a short stay in Casablanca we headed to Chefchaouen a picturesque town on the side of the Atlas mountains. A bit too vertical for people our age but we would not have missed it for anything.
Loved Fez and our gorgeous hotel. Spent two nights there and could have spent many more.
Now on to the desert with a two hour camel ride to the Luxury Camp with the friendliest people you every met. We have made good friends with people like Mustapha and the others. If you have been on a camel before a two hour ride is great but as a beginner you may want to only make it a half hour ride.
After a one night stop in Boumaine Dades high in the most gorgeous mountains you have ever seen, it was on to Marrakesh for three nights. Again one beautiful hotel ideally situated with great meals. My wife is most talkative and found that all the people she talked to were very friendly with some even giving her a kiss goodbye.
Our last stop in Morocco was Essaouira at the Atlantic coast of Morocco. A beautiful seaside town with cool breezes and most friendly people at the hotel we stayed.
We are every tired but would do it again at the drop of a hat.
Many thank to Kimkim, Original Travels, Mohamad, Said, Samir, Meryem, Mustapha and all the others that made our trip one to remember forever
