From the beginning of our planning all the way until the very end of our trip, Irene and the whole kimkim team, including Travel12 in Greece, were absolutely wonderful. Irene took care and was very responsive during the planning process to make sure our trip was exactly what we wanted... and it was! She thought of everything and covered every little detail to ensure our holiday was safe and stress free. My daughter and I packed a lot into our 2 week trip in Italy and Greece. Irene made sure we saw and did everything we could without being overwhelmed or exhausted. Our itinerary was the perfect balance of planned/scheduled tours and time to explore on our own. I appreciated how the team would check in with us from time to time. The couple of times I had questions, they responded within minutes and made certain my question was answered fully. We had an especially incredible day in Naples - exploring Pompeii and Vesuvius - thanks to our very fun driver, Mauro, and the absolute best guide to walk through Pompeii, Fabio!

Liz Karen is responsive and trustworthy. Everything on my itinerary happened without issue and I was eternally grateful. I have limited Spanish and was traveling solo so using a booking agent to schedule rides and flights, plus excursions and rooms was most helpful. I can't recommend Andean Travel Experience enough. They followed through on everything they promised.

We traveled to Panama in June as a family with our teenage daughter and had an amazing experience. We spent 2-3 days in the Panama City, and especially loved staying in Casco Viejo (Old Town), where we could sit on the square, wander and view the old city and history, and enjoy great coffee including Gesha coffee. Our favorite 2-3 days was Valle de Anton, a quaint town, beautiful scenery, and walking to waterfalls; also great bakery and batida (smoothies). Our third stop was staying 2-3 days the Pearl Islands, where we enjoyed the warm Pacific and very mellow beach days in a quiet setting. All of the this was set up via Kimkim. They made it so easy, and everyone we worked with was personable and professional. We especially loved our in country driver, Julio, and our guide for the days in Panama City, Victoria. On our last day, we visited an indigenous community via dug out canoe, and all of us, including Julio and Victoria swam in the waterfall pools in the National Park. I am so impressed with Panama and its mix of cosmopolitan city, relaxed and laid back environment. safe and easy travel, and friendly and easy to interact with people. Zulmy helped us to design our trip, and she and I went back and forth on ideas to come up with our final itinerary. We were traveling in the rainy season, and she had great tips for us so that we could work best with the weather and also have great sites and not spend all our time in transit. She was even open to helping us book a hotel which I found and wanted to stay at in Casco Viejo. This is our 2nd trip with Kimkim, the first was 3 weeks in Scotland. We will be back. It's a great model and everything was custom, easy, and personal.

Central Hotel Panama

Panama City

This was the perfect landing spot and place to make our home base in Panama City. We chose it for its location in Casco Viejo on a square and with a pool and multiple restaurants. As we arrived, we realized that it was even better than we expected. The rooms and the lobby are gorgeous. All of the restaurants are excellent, and we ate at little tables on the town square the first night. Every evening has 2-3 forms of live music depending on where you are in the hotel. The rooftop pool has the most gorgeous evening view of the Panama City skyline and it was lovely to have a pool. I even used their gym 3-4 times during our stay, and it was well appointed, spacious, and perfect for a quick exercise. The desk staff helped us and went above and beyond many times. For example, they helped my husband get a pair of linen pants hemmed at a local tailor, as he needed some better tropical clothes. Well appointed, excellent professional staff, you will not be disappointed.

Golden Frog is an oasis in El Valle de Anton. It was even better than we hoped. There is a view from every room looking out over incredibly peaceful hills and tropical landscape. The pool and grounds are excellent and lovely to spend time in. We swam every day. They also have a lovely terrace patio restaurant and a smaller indoor coffee and bar area where you take your breakfast or have dinner. We were lucky enough to have an outside dinner on a Saturday night where there was a 3 person band playing in the midst of dinner, and it was so perfect, lively, and enjoyable. The staff go above and beyond and you are very well supported. We found it walking distance to the town and we loved the countryside walk into town. There is so much to do in the area! This is such an oasis and peaceful setting. We were sad to leave.

Encounter with an indigenous community, Embera

Really meaningful and special day. We went up the river in a dug out canoe, visited a waterfall, and then visited an Embera community. We were all part of a big community in this experience, which was neat, as it did not feel like being distanced from the community who was hosting us. Victoria our local guide and Julio our local driver were also well known by the main Embera people who hosted us and so we felt very welcome. It was beautiful and neat to be in the National Park setting via boat. We loved the lunch at the community and enjoyed seeing the traditions and crafts.

Christos and his team did an amazing job of planning a great trip to see the highlights in Greece for our family. We especially loved the personal tour guides, which helped keep our kids engaged in educational tours. Zakia in particular was exceptional on the Acropolis and Agora tour in Greece. The lodging choices were outstanding as well. The only thing we would have changed is having a driver meet us at Paros to take us to a beach that was away from the busy port area and more relaxing.

Thanks for making the planning and execution so seamless for our family. We will be back to Kim Kim and their great local travel experts.

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay here. Clean and spacious room with strong A/C and amazing view of the volcano. 2 main pools were really nice, although not as numerous as other nearby hotels, as only one pool was hot spring. Breakfast is amazing, we also ate lunch/dinner poolside and in the restaurant which has breathtaking views. Depending on your room location, you need to be prepared to walk a bit or call for shuttle service around the property.

We decided in February to plan a family trip to the Galápagos Islands in June. I was overwhelmed by the prospect of researching such a trip, and turned to KimKim for help. Alvaro reached out to me in less than 24 hours with a jam-packed itinerary that was very insightful. He notes from the questionnaire that we were traveling with 2 teenagers, and intuitively booked us 2 rooms at all our hotels to ensure some space and privacy. He met with us via zoom to go over the itinerary, and we tweaked it accordingly. We had a wonderful trip! Alvaro was VERY quick to respond with an informative answer to any message I sent during our travels. The local guides that we encountered were a wealth of information, and took great care of us. Toward the end of our trip, my husband had a 24 hour stomach illness, and electrolytes and over-the-counter remedies were delivered to the hotel for him, initiated and arranged by the local guides. I will happily use KimKim again, and refer them to all my friends.

Gummi was great at following up on every detail, even the smallest.
It is impossible to say that there is one place more memorable than another, the whole trip and all the places we have been to, were amazingly beautiful, emotionally satisfying and memorable. From the wows of children's waterfall, to the Lava Cave or the gayzir and Glacier all very planned with such care.
We have also liked the different experience of the lagoons. From quite and not so touristy to singing and full of tourists.
The restaurants recommended, especially those with special recommendations from Gummi , were amazing.
Thanks so much for your efforts to make this trip one of the best in our lives. 😊❤️👍

Overall amazing trip planned by Randall. Would highly recommend. All the transports were almost flawless. My son even lost his suitcase at a restop and chris from kimkim found it and got it delivered to us.

First andlast night in san jose, hotel was great. We took a tour of san jose on our own which was nice.

Only major issue was Tortuguero. Hotel was horrible (no AC (sweltering hot temps) room full of bugs/lizards, stray dogs everywhere (including every meal) and kids hated the food). It was a cabin, not a hotel. Nobody slept for two nights due to heat and bugs. Worst part was that turtle nesting season not until July, so there was nothing to see.. was a horrible experience. We went kayaking on our own there which was fun.

Arenal was fantastic, the hiking tour to volcano was just average. The rio celeste tour was amazing. Wished we had gone tubing/rafting, many other families had done that.

Trasnfer to monteverde was interesting. A boat ride to a muddy area and we all dragged our luggage through puddles and mud to get to a bus. Monteverde was beautiful, hotel poco a poco was amazing. Zipline and night tour fun. We did a coffee/chocolate tour on our own which was great.

Manuel antonio was also beautiful. The hotel costa verde was fine. We paid for middle of the range hotels, so couldnt ask for anything amazing. The guided tour if national park was fun, but we had done so many hiking/walking tours that kids were a bit restless by the time we got to that tour.

I started working with Irene in November planning a trip to Greece with our 12 year old granddaughter! She is a fountain of knowledge! She provided us with a plan which I would never have been able to do by myself.
About 2 weeks before our trip I notified her that I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. I would be limited to shorter walks. Without asking she started searching for a scooter and transportation to haul it. She advised against certain venues for safety issues. Every driver was more than helpful! Irene arranged for cooking lessons with a Chef who delighted us for 3 hours. Our tour guides were outstanding.
I asked Irene if there was a chance that we could meet her in Athens and she even made that happen. We have always traveled with a tour company on buses. The experience of KimKim exceeded all expectations. The bar has been raised and we highly recommend this company!! Thanks to the team who provided us with a vacation that will never be forgotten.
Travel dates were June 15 to 19, 2023.

Exceptional tours with expert tour guides and an exceptional tour BUS DRIVER who got us in and out of places where a bus should not fit - incredible driver (if you have been to Athens, you know how impotant this is )!! We took in history culture and the natural beauty of Greece. Oh did I mention the food and the wine? The team and the hosts at the sites truly out did themselves with the quality and amout of food and beverages. Eleni's team really made great excursions for our group of 25. Visiting the Peleponesse, the Corinth Canal and so many other sites made very excellent memories for us. Our final day visiting Lake Voullemani to swin, sun and relax really was a fitting end to such an amazing visit. I would absolutely recommend Eleni and the Kimkim team to anyone visiting Greece and we will use them again if we make another trip.

We recently had the privilege of working with Ashley who planned out a flawless honeymoon experience in Vietnam. Her expertise and attention to detail ensured that our journey as newlyweds was nothing short of magical. Throughout our honeymoon, we were immersed in unique and intimate experiences, including organized private tours and excursions that allowed us to explore the hidden gems of Vietnam. One of the highlights of our trip was venturing into the picturesque countryside of Sapa. Ashley had organized a trekking excursion that allowed us to witness the breathtaking terraced rice fields and interact with the local ethnic communities. It was an incredible experience that truly connected us with the authentic beauty and warmth of Vietnam.

Communication with Ashley was also exceptional throughout the entire planning process and during our trip. She was always prompt in responding to our inquiries and provided valuable recommendations for activities, restaurants, and even helping us out with any unexpected issues that arose like bad wifi connections! It was evident that they genuinely cared about our happiness and satisfaction, going above and beyond to ensure our honeymoon exceeded our expectations.

If you're considering a trip to Vietnam, we wholeheartedly recommend partnering with Ashley to create a truly extraordinary and immersive experience. Thank you for making our honeymoon in Vietnam an unforgettable one!

Lise did a good job in putting together a memorable trip to France and we would use her services again. The reason for a 4 instead f a 5 was her lack of timely responsiveness. The tours, drivers, and guides she used were great. There were only 2 problem with these. One driver had the wrong time but was able to get someone else to fill in so it we were only delayed. As we needed to get to the airport the next day, We asked Lise to confirm the driver to the airport to make sure we wouldn't have any problems and then they didn't show up at all. s We were forced to call a taxi which Lise reimbursed. Other than that, all went splendidly.

Andrea put together a fabulous trip for us in Italy. His responsiveness, attention to detail, and follow through made for an amazing trip. We would highly recommend Andrea without any reservations whatsoever!

After a few days of getting lost in all the beautiful pictures of different hotels, we decided it might be best to look for a travel agent. We first considered using Kim Kim less than two weeks before our trip, and we already had an idea of what we wanted to do, so we were surprised when we were advised against it. Bastien, the travel agent, took the time to explain why our plan might be improved (the sheer amount of travel time alone was enough for us) by a few places we hadn't previously considered. We took his advice, tweaked the itinerary, talked it through him, and decided this was the way to go! He had a surprisingly quick turnaround and even mentioned an item that might be easier to get on our own rather than through him, which I appreciated since it didn't feel like he was trying to upsell anything. We asked for nicer/posher accommodations (and he delivered).

Once we were there, Mathilde took over as our primary contact and took the time to check in. She was readily available for our few questions and checked on us to ensure everything went smoothly.

The tours were fabulous, and the ONLY thing that made this less than perfect was one tour that offered lunch and champagne tasting. The champagne-tasting part was great, but there was no lunch (pairings only, and the tour guide indicated that she had already informed the agencies). Needless to say, after the hours-long tour, we were starving.

Everything else was spectacular. Highly recommend!

The travel team was wonderful. The fjord tour in flam was fantastic. pulpit rock as an excursion was fantastic. the skipper in Senja was wonderful.
