Nice clean busy hotel. We felt as if we were in a cruise ship crowd because there were buses of people--a bit busier than we would have liked but didn't detract from our trip. The rooms are nice and had ample space. Friendly staff. Room was quiet. Nice option next to the train station so it was a walkable option to a lot. We'd consider it again for convenience.

This is an amazing hotel option from every aspect--rooms were modern, smartly furnished, friendly team members, outstanding food in the restaurant, they went above and beyond one day when we were going to miss breakfast due to an early train and sent a bagged breakfast that was super. We stayed there twice and we will again! And we'll tell our friends/family to stay there. Final strong point is proximity to train station, which is why we went there in the first place. Top marks in all categories!

This was our first experience with kimkim. We started with some hesitation. However with Angela's help, we had an amazing experience from the beginning to the end.

During planning, Angela was responsive and patient. She listened to our needs, made recommendations and was also flexible responding to our further questions. Once the trip was coming to a shape, Angela made sure we had all the details, checked in with us and remained in touch throughout. She even helped to call the domestic airline sort out the domestic flights we booked ourselves. Right before the trip, Angela made sure we had her contact information.

As soon as we landed in Greece, Angela reached out to check on us which definitely exceeded the expectation. The tours book were exactly as described. All drivers and tour guides were extremely professional. They were on time, patient with us, attended series of questions we had, walked with us everywhere and entertained us with all kinds of stories. We had tour guides who studied history and archaeology, retired university professor. Their extensive knowledge made our vacation special.

Throughout the vacation, Anglea constantly checked on us, made sure we were okay and had no concerns or questions. On the last day, she did not forget to wish us a safe trip back. Even though we never met, we felt we have known Angela for a long time. We had a once in a lifetime vacation and highly recommend Angela and her team!

I really appreciated Dimitrios and the rest of the kimkim team for their prompt responses to my questions and for helping tailor an itinerary that was best suited to our travel preferences. The local team coordinating our trip from Be A Greek during our stay was lovely- very communicative and punctual for all tours and rides arranged, including airport transfers. We had a fantatsic time with each one of the guides who took us on private walking tours of the towns and appreciated their flexibility in aligning the tours with our interests and their engaging and warm personalities. We came away with a very postive take on kimkim's coordination and would definitely consider booking another vacation with them in the future.

The location of this hotel can't be beat - it's in the perfect location to wal to all of the neighborhoods and attractions in Athens. We found the suite for 3 individuals to be quite spacious and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly throughout our stay, and the breakfasts that were brought in each day were very nice. The only minor downsides we felt were the slightly weak air conditioning in our suite and the lack of larger lobby area for the hotel, but otherwise, we enjoyed every aspect of our stay.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at the Aeolos resort. We appreciated the location slightly outside of Mykonos town, which was calmer and quiter in the evenings. The hotel staff was also very accomodating to give us rides into town. We did appreciate that we were moved to a larger room when we checed in to better accomodate 3 adults but did miss the garden view that we had originally booked. This was the only small downside to our experience. The staff was wonderfully attentive and hospitable, and we really enjoyed the amazing food at the resort restaurant.

Needless to say, I will be here to assist and support you in any request or questions you may have in the future. I hope to hear back from you again.

We went to Croatia for a 2 week family trip - we met our daughter there who had been travelling in Europe for 3 months. Robi was our travel specialist who helped us plan our trip. We had a few ideas about what we wanted to see and do, but he truly helped shape our trip to be very memorable. He was very patient with us as we changed our minds a few times as to what we wanted to see, and the length of time we wanted to spend in each location. We rented a car in Zagreb (which was brought to us!) and made our way to Plitvice Lakes, Kra National Park , and finally to Split. Robi suggested a number of towns along the way that we could stop and see, and provided some great backstory to those locations. We left our car in Split then took a catamaran to spend a few days on Hvar and Korcula. We had a private driver pick us up in Korcula and drive us through the Peljesac wine region where we visited a couple locally owned wineries, visited Ston and ended in Dubrovnik, where we spent 4 days. All our accomodations were extremely central, provided breakfast and were very pleasant. The KimKim approach is to provide the specific location details and additional info about restaurants the night before you reach your new destination. I was apprehensive about this approach but it worked really well! Robi was in contact with us every day of our trip and available to help if we needed. Croatia is a beautiful country with an incredibly interesting history, great food and people. We will go back - thank you Robi for making our first time visit to your beautiful country so memorable.

we spent one night here on our way to plitvice lakes park. Once we got here i wanted to stay for a few more days!! The accomodations were very clean, comfortable rooms. I loved the pool! We borrowed the bicycles and did a small tour around the area (they have numerous bike paths) and then enjoyed the afternoon at the pool. We had dinner at the neighbouring hotel that evening which was very good and we had a good selection for breakfast the next day. The location to the parks is fantastic - it only took us 15 minutes to drive to the park entrance from here.

I was very happy with how things worked out with the entire Kim Kim team. Willing to work with me and make adjustments as needed and asked. They were very responsive to questions and requests that were made.

If I can make a suggestion, perhaps offering some options to choose from would be helpful. For example, options for hotels in a given location that might affect the price overall. Or for the hike to Kjeragbolt, going over the various hike options (all in one day, overnight, etc). And my least favorite thing was the Bergen to Flam to Bergen because of how long it took. I admit this was my fault for not looking at the details in advance but other options might have been helpful. One other suggestion would be greater assistance with traveling to the various locations.

Please understand, the trip was fabulous and the help that you all provided was outstanding. The above are just suggestions to make things even better.

Again, thank you for all of your help and support!

Hotel Florence Nice

Spacious and close to the center and lot of shopping/dining options. We had our AC unit leak at 4am in the morning, and the front desk were able to help us with extra towels and buckets (not a lot they, or anyone, can do at 4am). The staff was super helpful and accommodating- they upgraded us to a junior suite the next afternoon and even took care of moving our bags to the new room, when it was ready.

Cute and clean hotel! Comfy beds and modern interior. Very close to the center and shopping/dining options. Good breakfast options. Staff was fantastic!! Although it is modern interior, the building itself is very old so beware of drainage issues as proven-- we had an issue with the drainage (will save the gory details but it STUNK!) in our room at 11pm at night and Elsie quickly and efficiently moved us to a different room. The rooftop terrace is a must to unwind with a cocktail!

Full Day on the Coast: Cannes, Antibes, & Saint-Paul de Vence

The tour was mediocre to begin with but turned horrible later in the day. Although the tour says "Full day" it is half a day--stops at Cannes and Antibes were rushed. On the last stop of the day at Saint-Paul de Vence (~1hr away from Nice) we lost our day bag at a coffee shop and my sister had to go back and track our steps to find it, the guide was extremely insulting (I waited by the car while my sister was looking for our bag because we were concerned the driver would leave without us) I heard him talk with the other members of our tour group how "Americans have no respect to anyone else's time" and "I know Indians do not have a good educational background" (I am of Indian decent) totally inappropriate and insulting. His "another tour at 2pm and you made me very late" statements were very unnecessary and overshadowed the happy moments that day for everyone. The whole energy of the group changed afterwards. I understand these tour guides have multiple tours on the same day booked and have to be very precise on their timings-- but there was no need to stoop low and make those comments. I know it is biased opinion, but I urge you to not book with this tour company. No one deserves to be insulted on their vacation.

We did the Baltic Sampler trip (or I think that's what it was called) - starting in Helsinki, and then moving on to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Valdis was very helpful throughout and very responsive as we asked questions and made tweaks in the itinerary. He booked excellent hotels for us, and arranged for truly excellent local guides to help us truly understand the places we were visiting, as well as getting access to experiences like a tea ceremony, and a cooking classes. I highly recommend working with Valdis and this platform.

If you can't kayak don't worry you have a small lesson before going out on the water and there are always two guides with the group. The tour guides give you a brief history of the caves and how they were formed. They take you to other smaller caves as well, that's what sets this tour apart from the rest.

She made sure we saw the highlights of the old city and gave us a taste of the city literally with a fabulous food tour. She was easy going, easy to understand, knowledgeable with a degree in Art History but mostly we found her delightful. We walked a lot but that is common in a big city and Istanbul is huge! We also learned to use the excellent public transportation system. We had wonderful meals arranged and reserved by our kimkim travel specialist Berat. A very satisfying trip! We will use kimkim again.

Hard to imagine a more welcoming, flexible, passionate and knowledgable guide. We started planning for the trip, paid our deposit then COVID hit. Robi politely stayed in touch the whole time to make sure we felt welcome to continue our trip when we felt comfortable traveling. He assured us we would get full credit for our deposit, whenever we traveled. We finally were able to travel this fall(nearly 3 years later!) and could not have been happier. Robi is a wonderful ambassador for his country and its history. There was not a place we went where he didn't have a story, an insight and often a family member! He adapted to us slowing down and speeding up. We had originally planned to be active(bike, hike, kayak, etc.) but settled into a little less active but still very stimulating agenda. Great local food became a bigger part of the schedule, including a private lunch at a family home as well as a peka (under the dome) traditional meal! His cousin Goran, was our captain on the charted sailing catamaran for 5 days. What a great addition to the trip, both the boat and Goran! Highly recommend adding a charter of the coastal islands if at all possible. We avoided the busy tour boats and found some secluded bays and towns. Appreciate Robi having inside knowledge of restaurants, hidden parks, local things to see, etc. This trip is in our top 2-3 because of Robi and Goran and the wonderful places we got to experience and the wonderfully welcoming local people. Please look for Robi and his company, Soul of Croatia. So many wonderful memories. Thanks to KimKim for putting us together!
