Kimkim Trip Reviews

Anna did a fantastic job of finding us hotels and experiences along the way that fit our car tour of Norway. We followed the schedule that we agreed on with Anna and it worked out perfectly. We saw those things that were high on our list and also had the confidence that each day we would end up at a good hotel and know what we were doing the next day. Made all those "when do we leave in the morning?" conversations so easy: just look it up on Anna's schedule. Plus, all the addresses were great for inputing into our car's navigation system. So easy!

Hotel Victoria

Stavanger

Our favorite hotel in Stavanger. Located right dockside where you can see all of the activity and beautiful overview of the approaches to the harbor. Watch all the ships come and go! And right downtown next to great walks and restaurants. Also a LOVELY breakfast in the morning was included. Just a really great place to stay!

We had such a wonderful trip to Colombia thanks to David and his team. We stayed 2 nights each in Bogota, Salento, Tayrona, and Medellin. We loved the diversity in experiences from cities and cultural tours to beaches, forests, and mountains. Overall, the service was great at all hotels. We always felt safe and really appreciated that there was always a driver waiting for us during airport transfers. The only thing we would change, if possible, would be to decrease the number of flights - have direct flights instead of connections. We've written about a few highlights of the trip below:

Bogota: 1) Fabiola greeted us warmly at the airport and showed us around the highlights in the city. In addition to the various tours she guided us on, she helped me get set up with a Colombian sim card. We enjoyed learning about the city from her and also practicing our Spanish with her. 2) Highly recommend the fruit tour. The guide, Maria, is exceptionally knowledgeable about everything in the market. We loved her passion for biodiversity and our immersive experience learning about the different species of fruits. 3) We enjoyed the hike in Chingaza for beautiful plants, flowers, and landscapes, It was very muddy and rainy, which was actually a fun challenge for us!

Salento: We loved our hotel. The views were beautiful and the food was delicious. Our tour guide, Carlos, gave us a wonderful tour of the Cocora Valley, pointing out many birds and giving explanations of the plants. He showed us his family's work-in-progress DIY infusion cafe and created a delicious tea for us with herbs grown in the garden.

Tayrona: Hotel had amazing food and we enjoyed hanging out by the pool after hiking in Tayrona Park. We were happy to pick mangos from the hotel garden and eat them for dessert.

Medellin: Sebastian led us on a wonderful "transformation" tour of Medellin. We learned so much from him on the history and culture of Medellin. Highly recommend him as a guide for anyone visiting Medellin.

I seldom write reviews, but in this instance I knew that I needed to let anyone know that booking our honeymoon through this site was the best decision for us. I would recommend and will continue to do so to whoever is looking to book an international trip. We could not have asked for better communication between our specialist or the ease of traveling to multiple destinations within Greece. Aggeliki made this whole experience exceptional!! She had all the transfers already planned out to and from the ports along with airport travel, this was the most stressful part for me going into the trip, but truly ended up being a breeze because of her. We did have a small miscommunication between us and one of our drivers, but was able to quickly get in touch with Aggeliki who solved it on the spot! The planning process was so easy and she was willing to give us her honest opinion on what to skip and what not to miss!! All of her time and effort made our honeymoon a trip we truly will never forget. If you are on the fence about booking through KimKim, let my experience help persuade you. I will continue to use this company for any future international travel that we plan!!

We had a wonderful trip to France! Mathilde worked diligently to fit everything we wanted into our ambitious schedule. There was not one glitch, it was effortless and totally enjoyable which is what we wanted. Mathilde handled all the minute details and all we had to do was follow her directions. Every guide, tour, hotel, driver was vetted by Mathilde and they all get 5 stars. We traveled in France to Bayeaux, Amboise and Paris and had a trip of a lifetime!

I highly recommend KimKim if you are planning a trip to Norway! I typically do a lot of research on my own and plan my own travel. However, pressed for planning time and wanting to really maximize our 7 days in Norway, I came across KimKim and decided to give it a try. I am so happy I did! It was so easy to correspond electronically, our dedicated specialist quickly put together an itinerary based on our profile and interests and then modified it slightly after our review based on our input. Ethel coordinated our transportation (trains, boats, and car service!), accommodations (and it was not a problem that we had already booked our Oslo hotel) and many excursions (tours, fishing, museums etc). I was also provided the 24 hour contact person of someone in Norway for emergencies/last minute questions. Norway was amazing and KimKim was a delight to work with and well worth the small fee.

This was our first experience using Kimkim to support our family trip to Croatia. We did not know what to expect and where a bit nervous at the beginning. Nikola arranged for a phone call and right away we were feeling more at ease. He was listening to our concerns and answered all our question. Then, he provided us with an itinerary and we could discuss and adapt things as needed.
At arrival, the 10 days went super smoothly. We were super well taken care by all the people (guides, hotel staff, car and boat drivers) that took us on the different activities. Everything was on time, no delays and no stress. The guides were engaged and included each member of the family. I particularly enjoyed the personality of the guide in Korcula and Hvar. Our boat guide in Split (Toma) made me feel safe on the agitated sea the day we explored the Blue lagoon.
I also appreciated the daily check-in from Nikola and having the prep information for the following day.
All in all a great experience with lots of variety in the activities proposed by Nikola. We would highly recommend it.

Toma our boat driver was great. A bit shy at first but he warmed up throughout the day. The water was a bit agitated and he made me feel safe. The blue lagoon was spectacular and we had a great swim there. Magical water. We stopped on a small island for a drink and a lunch on the other side of the island. Fun feeling to board right at the restaurant. Great fish meal to enjoy sitting right on the water side. Finished the day with one other swim in a small bay where we could enjoyed a Mojito made right there by a guy on a small boat going from boat to boat offering his drinks. Fun experience all along.

This was an important family trip to Croatia and not Having not heard of KimKim prior to working with them, we were a bit nervous. The result exceeded our expectations. Nikola assembled an itinerary where we didn’t have to worry about anything and had zero headaches transferring from airport and ferries. He engaged incredible guides and experiences in each of our locations such that we had the opportunity to experience Croatia, and have experiences that would not have been possible without. We are grateful for Nikola’s expertise, patience, professionalism and kindness. The trip exceeded our expectations.

- both before and during our trip, Nikola was there for us, checking in everyday, providing a daily update and ready if we needed anything
- The online trip planning interface was easy to use, facilitated comments from family members and made communicating with Nikola easy.

Mathias made all the arrangements and even though we had to make multiple changes, it was never a problem.
We had to change dates of travel, no problems
We had to change our cruise ship, no problems
We wanted to do full day birding, no problems
He suggested that we stay at Tombopaxi, in Cotopaxi National park. No problems
Danny Arias was our guide for most of the days. He was very patient and knowledgeable
Neiser Arias was bird watchinf guide. He was very patient, knowledgeable and knew his birds really well. If we do a dedicated bird watchng tour, we will surely use him again
I wish we had a few more days to enjoy more of Equador

I want to thank Maria for making all the bookings, including changes and adjustments to meet our needs. From the pick up at the airport upon arrival throughout the whole trip, everything worked out great. We had to make changes in the itinerary due to unforeseen weather and Jessica in the Customer service took care of the cancellation and refund. When there was a change in the hotel in Florence they booked us a ride for $59, when the hotel was literary across the road from the train station. When we checked the location, we called the office to advise that no transfer is needed. It was cancelled and refunded, but, it should have been checked by your office first before booking.
Other than that, every pickup and transfer was good and on time. (only Yael's transfer to the airport was late). I will comment the driver that took us from Naples to Sorento. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. The driver that took us to the Amalfi coast tour was excellent. He was experienced drier on those roads, professional, knew where to stop for beautiful viewpoints and made the day very pleasant. The hotels were good. Their location in every city was excellent.
We enjoyed out trip and will recommend Maria and the KimKIm team for other travelers.

This tour was mediocre. WE walked the night before most of the places, but the guide didn't add much to our knowledge.

In general, we expected to hear more about the city, history and have more interaction. This was the feeling of most of the participants on the tour. She did take two travelers to a public bathroom, which was out of the way and it was very appreciated. For this service she needs to be commented.

The trip was amazing ! Really enjoyed all the tour guides they were very knowledgeable and caring. We especially liked our tour guide in Easter island patricia she went above and beyond to make our experience amazing and smooth and gave us a lot of tips for restaurants and the place. In Atacama dessert it would have been nice to know ahead of time that the tour started at 4:30 am in the morning. We were notified at 5:30 pm the day before the tour that we had to be ready that early which was frustrating. Another downside was that we were made to go to the airport 4 hours early even for domestic flights early this wasted lots of time in just travel and spending unnecessary time in the airport. I was disappointed that they messed up the winery tour for my husband's birthday . It's good that I noticed this 4 days early and told them that we didn't even reach Santiago that day till 6:00 pm so we could not do anything that they had planned for day 1 that included a lunch wine taring etc. They tried to fix it to their best ability but it was sad we had to miss out on the actual planned itinerary for day 1 and 2. I think it would be great if next time we get another one on one chat with the agent to explain how busy the schedule will be before booking everything. The trip was a bit exhausting cause of too many things planned and I guess I didn't realize how much time would end up being spent just travelling to places. We did not have much time to relax. Otherwise all tours were great and went smoothly!

Thanks so much ‘Under Moroccan Sun’ for our amazing trip! It is impossible to put in words the perfection of our 11 day road trip around beautiful Morocco, which was planned so perfectly by Majid and team! Every day of our trip was very organized and communication was very easy with Majid as he was always quick to respond and was very flexible with accommodating our arrivals/departures. We were very, very lucky to have Moha with us throughout our travels :) Mo picked us up in Casablanca and we traveled to Marrakech seeing all the amazing cities, stunning desert and breathtaking mountains. Mo made every day special and was always sure to share the rich culture of Morocco every step of the way. We highly recommend seeing Morocco by car and staying in riads - all accommodations were perfect, Mo is a great driver and his car is new/clean. You will not be disappointed working with this amazing team and visiting Morocco - this trip has far exceeded our expectations. We didn’t want to leave Morocco, but happy to have our new Moroccan family to visit when we come back. We will be back again soon! ❤️ Thanks again, Mo and Majid!!

Tassos and Travel12 were just what we hoped for. We had a group of 8 adults and a very ambitious agenda, hey on history and experiences. We also had limited time due to jobs and schedules, and very much wanted to see Athens, Delphi, and Crete. We wanted to experience food, culture, sailing, hiking and museums in just 10 days. Tassos delivered a wonderfully thought-out agenda, combining 'theme days' with efficient transportation. Whenever we encounter a glitch or had a question, we got answers within a few minutes. All of Travel12 was extremely responsive and helpful. Tassos even met my husband and I for coffee in Athens one morning, and it was a pleasure to meet him and hear more about his journey. He really understood our family (parents, four adult children, and two boyfriends). We had some wonderful tour guides who added a lot of value to the trip, and became our friends for the day. Restaurant recommendations and included meals were outstanding. All logistical details including air transfer to and from Crete went smoothly. I also found the KimKim interface to be easy to use and helpful. Ellen

We enjoyed our trip immensely. Our guides were knowledgeable, engaging and professional. And our driver, Niko, was amazing, going above and beyond with the health emergency experienced by one of our companions on the drive from Dubrovnik to Split.

Croatia is an astonishingly beautiful country, and its people are welcoming and kind. And the food, oh the food. We will be talking about this trip for many years to come. While we have many places across the globe we plan to visit. We hope to return to Croatia soon.

Thanks to Kimkim and Angela we had one of the best planned vacation experiences we've ever had. This was our 1st time using Kimkim and it is a company that we will continue to use.

As with any vacation and in this case a 12-day vacation, unexpected circumstances can occur. We didn't have any! All drivers were where they needed to be to pick us up at the right location and at the right time. All our accommodations were as described. We are very active and had activities daily that met expectation. Here are just a few.

Milos: Our 1st island and our 1st activity was a full day sailing tour around Milos. I didn't think we could sit still for 10 hours on a Catamaran, but it was a great entrance into the Greek culture from our tour guide as well as a relaxing day spent looking at beautiful sites and learning a lot about the history of the areas.

Naxos. We had a great guide, who give us a 5-hour tour of Old Town Naxos. We toured the Venetian Castle and surrounding areas. Very informative and well worth our time.

Looking back in time discovery walk. Yiota was her guide and a native of the area. She was extremely well educated and informed of the history of the area that we were touring. It was a great hike, not too strenuous, as well as going to sites and ruins that we had only read about.

Naxos Culinary Tour. Spiros was our guide for the afternoon and evening. Was by far one of the best experiences we had on our trip to the islands of Greece. Up in the mountains we visited a traditional pottery company. We then went and saw how oil was originally pressed and made. The best part was then visiting a couple who owned a farm up in the mountains and spending the afternoon and evening with them. It was the real deal. They were a great couple who bought us into their house and farm. We had dinner with them and had great conversations about their life and living in Greece.

I could go on about all the other expectations that were met but it was a well-planned and organized tour that took the stress out of our travels. I would highly recommend Angela and Kimkim.

What an amazing adventure! I cannot express enough gratitude for the OUTSTANDING AND MIRACULOUS trip that was planned by KimKim and Travel 12 Greece teams.
My family and I had a trip of a lifetime during our 3-week stay in Greece in May 2023.

I want to express my deepest thanks to Eleni Fotiou--our trip EXPERT from KimKim and Travel 12!
Eleni went far, far above and beyond to create a dream vacation for us. Eleni is professional, very friendly, and so supportive.
I cannot tell you the countless emails and phone calls Eleni handled in more than a year's time while we crafted and re-created the trip itinerary to perfection.
Eleni was always patient and had great ideas, offered needed reassurance and many expert tips for the vacation.
Everything was handled with expert care, compassion and extreme attention to detail.
We enjoyed a fantastic time in Athens, the Peloponnese, Mykonos, Santorini and Crete.
Eleni even went so far as to help us contact our Greek family and to arrange a full day visit in a tiny village in Greece with our relatives. It was a miraculous and blessed day for sure! We are forever grateful to Eleni!

In addition, all of the private local drivers that Eleni set up for our trip were equally amazing! Special thanks to Christos and Georgia who helped us get to very, very remote places in Greece---up mountains! We were able to go to both of our grandparents' villages in Greece and meet family members. Both Christos and Georgia (local private drivers) were patient, kind, supportive and were able to offer translation services for us. Just incredible!

Furthermore, all of the local team members working with Eleni were outstanding. During the trip, we were able to communicate at any time day or night via the What's App Business app on my cell phone. This was so helpful for last minute questions and schedule changes--all of which were quickly addressed to my satisfaction.

We saw the most beautiful, historical, heart-warming, and breath-taking places in Greece.
We took over 1500 photos to prove it!

I have only one "complaint"---that the trip had to end! :)

Leave your dream Greece vacation in the hands of experts! The money spent will be so worth the incredible benefits of a perfectly curated vacation that far surpasses your expectations!
I would HIGHLY recommend booking your vacation to Greece with Eleni Fotiou and KimKim/Travel 12 teams.
You will be so glad that you did!

Thanks again from the bottom of my heart to Eleni and her spectacular team!

Eleni, you will hold a special place in our hearts, and hope that we will meet someday--in Greece, of course!

All the best to Eleni and her expert team.

Santorini

What's not to love? An ocean view of the caldera and a very walkable location between Oia and Fira. Made to order BREAKFAST WAS GREAT, SERVICE TO YOUR PRIVATE ROOM! Nothing better than sitting in your private jacuzzi watching a Santorini sunset. Female clerk at the front desk was one of the nicest and most attentive hotel staff members I have ever met.
