Kimkim Trip Reviews

From the time the four of us were picked up in Casablanca and dropped off at the airport in Marrakech 12 days later, our trip was absolutely amazing in all ways. I had found KimKim online and after reading the reviews decided to go with them. Hamza put together an itinerary taking into account our interests and limitations. He patiently answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. Then he handed me off to our local contact Said who stayed in touch during our entire trip. In Fez there was a problem with the plumbing in the Riad we were to stay in and I had to call Said and ask him to take care of the problem. It was quite late in the day but Said managed to find us another hotel right away, which was quite difficult because of it being hiigh season for tourists. He too was patient and accommodating throughout the trip.
Sameer, our driver/guide was the best. He was polite, informative, helpful and extremely focused on our safety and comfort and on making sure we had the best possible time. On top of all of this, he is a very safe driver.
In Fez, our guide Sameer was again very well informed and took us on a throughly enjoyable jaunt through the old Medina. In Marrakesh Hanna spent a large part of the day of the day with us again on a walking tour of the old Medina. She is a young woman full of knowledge and a passion for all things Moroccan.
All in all we were highly satisfied with the entire process from planning to completion. Morocco is a country full of beauty, history and culture with amazing and friendly people. We are so happy to have been a part of that with the help of KimKim.

Orient Desert Camp

Merzouga

A very pretty place with very friendly staff, clean rooms. The camp dog, Maisy, is the sweetest dog ever and totally stole the show. The rooms/tents are very very basic. For example you could not lock the door from the outside. That took a bit of getting used too. The food was adequate. Maybe it was because the chef was out for three days so two of the workers were pitching in. The visit to the nomads and the fossil areas was fun, as was the African music performance and the pizza after.

Activity Review

Transfer from Fes to Merzouga via Erfoud & Camel Ride

Morocco

The camel ride into the desert during our transfer from Fes to Merzouga via Erfoud was a highlight of the trip. The desert experience was wonderful, filled with beautiful scenery and the thrill of riding camels. However, the camp itself presented some safety concerns, as doors could not be securely locked and even when latched, they could be easily opened from the outside. Additionally, the food was not great, as the regular cook had to leave unexpectedly. Despite these issues, the staff at the camp were very welcoming and tried their best to accommodate us.

All the local guides were amazing - excited to speak about their city and history.

The hotels were good choices as well.

We were not prepared for the congestion in parking in four cities and wonder if travelling by train or bus would have been a better option for us.

We had trouble getting taxis at the horse show and flamenco show and wondered if there was a way you could have addressed this. Are shows offered in the day or could we have booked a taxi in advance?

We didn't have time - one week only - to go over the whole itinerary and prepare for the trip. This should be sent at least a month ahead.

It’s genuinely hard to find the right words to explain just how incredible our recent trip to Napoli, Positano, and the Amalfi Coast was — all thanks to the phenomenal planning and support from Jessica at Storywalking.

From start to finish, every detail was perfectly curated. Jessica arranged wonderful hotel stays in both Napoli and Positano, offering comfort and charm with beautiful local character. But what truly made this journey exceptional were the experiences she lined up: a heartfelt cooking class on a local farm, a wine tasting at a breathtaking vineyard overlooking the Amalfi Coast, a dreamy boat ride to Capri and back, and a food tour in Napoli that was as authentic as it gets. Each experience felt personal, genuine, and deeply connected to the soul of the region.

One of the standout aspects of working with Jessica was how seamless everything felt. Daily reminders of the next day's itinerary and her constant availability for any help made this a true no-fuss, no-bother vacation. We never had to think twice about logistics — we simply showed up and enjoyed.

It wasn’t just a trip; it was an immersion. Storywalking didn’t just give us a vacation — they gave us a story worth telling (if only we could find the words to do it justice!).

Highly, highly recommended if you're looking for an authentic, stress-free, and unforgettable Italian experience. Grazie mille, Jessica!

Lucy was very responsive and helpful throughout the trip. The trip was also very well organized and we appreciated the build up to the safari at the end. The recommendations were fantastic.

Paula with Kimkim was so knowledgeable and helpful with our trip to New Zealand. Neither of us knew much about the country or where to go. When we told her our interests she guided us to great places for hiking. Mt Cook, and especially the REALLY fantastic view from our room at the hotel she recommended was stupendous! We had several days of clear skies which we understand isn’t always the case. Abel Tasman hiking along the beaches for 7 miles after getting a water taxi drop off was another highlight with its giant tree ferns. The guided hikes she recommended during the trip were interesting and informative. Paula also returned our calls promptly so we didn’t have to wait long to get answers which is very helpful in making plans. Thank you Paula!

I arrived in Japan after spending a week in China. My China trip was booked with another company and we had top notch service everyday. Our trip in Japan did not provide the same experience. We booked this trip with another couple, each of us arriving about 3 hours apart. I was told that it was important to provide our flight information so that our driver would not need to wait unnecessarily. Both of us did this, months before our trip began. My husband and I arrived first, and we expected to have to wait for the other couple for our driver to arrive. The driver was texting me as soon as we landed. Regrettably he then had to wait three hours for the other couple. We were then told we would need to pay an additional $10,000 yen because of this. Had Shona paid attention to both of the flight schedules this would not have happened.
Our biggest issue was communication with Shona. I would send her a message via the chat and when I got no response after a day, I called the contact number provided. I had to do this 5 times during the trip as Shona was not responding to my chats. It got so the person manning the contact phone, knew m y voice and would acknowledge me by name. Shon would then respond. The other couple and I sent her chats describing our frustration. Her communication improved but we still had issues. Her communications weren't always clear, a good example was the directions from the train station to our hotel in Osaka. She told us it was a 15 minute taxi ride or bus ride to the hotel, or we could walk it for 20 minutes. We exited the train station and walked quite a distance to the taxi stand and thankfully, our friend put it in our phone gps and we discovered if we had turned right out of the train station the hotel was about 2 minutes from us as it was literally part of the train complex. We shared this information with Shona and it was clear she didn't understand our feedback.

Our hotels all met our expectations. We had one issue when we checked in at our first Tokyo hotel. Our confirmation stated a king room and they said that was not the information the hotel had. We contact the number we were provided and Shona said she would take care of it. I took about 2 and a half hours to get it straightened out.
Our guides Yumi Takahashi, and Hector Julio Bozahelfers were outstanding.
Satomi our guide for the Himeji was a nice person but she didn't have the expertise the other guides had. W commented at the end of the day that she took more pictures than we did of the cherry blossoms and castle. It appeared to us she listened to the other tour groups and then provided us with information.

Our Yanka Historical Walking Tour was not what we expected. The description said lunch was included. Lunch was a glass of sake and three meatballs on a stick. We did three other Magical Trip excursions and they were all far superior to this one.

Our experience should have been stress free, but there were many days in the first two weeks where we were waiting on communication with Shona. I shouldn't have had to call the help line as often as I did. I believe she finally understood our frustration and did improve communication with us during the last of the trip.

I loved that Luca was able to answer any questions via the WhatUp app at anytime during our trip.

All the guides assigned to our group of 4 were excellent, however special mention goes to Mizuho in Kyoto and Cherry in Osaka who were just superb and gelled effortlessly with us.

Sandy’s organisation for the entire trip was second to none and anything asked however small was no problem for her to review or organise.

Patagonia: Where the Wild Whispers and the Sky Roars

"Muy fuerte" doesn't even begin to describe the raw, untamed power of Patagonia. This land of colossal skies and jagged peaks seared itself into my soul, a visceral experience that transcended any travel brochure. Our journey was a symphony of contrasts: cozy refugios echoing with trekkers' tales, luxurious hotels offering respite from the elements, and glamping under a star-drenched canvas.

We traversed this breathtaking landscape by every means imaginable – soaring above it by plane, bumping along rugged roads in private transfers, skimming turquoise waters in zodiacs, swaying atop sure-footed horses, and, most intimately, conquering its trails on foot. Each mode of transport unveiled a new facet of Patagonia's grandeur.

The iconic "W" trek tested our limits, rewarding us with panoramas that defied description. We shared laughter and stories with fellow adventurers, forging bonds strengthened by shared awe. The culinary delights, paired with robust Chilean wines, fueled our bodies and spirits.

Walking on ancient glaciers felt like stepping into a frozen time capsule. We witnessed the "Patagonian Ice Dragon" – a aquatic insect that completes its entire life cycle within glaciers – and held our breath as an avalanche, a distant white thunder, reshaped the mountainside.

Yet, beyond the grand spectacles, it was the subtle, profound moments that truly captivated me. The vast, untainted skies stretching to infinity, the Milky Way ablaze with celestial fire, the quiet satisfaction of conquering challenging trails, and the sheer, sculptural magnificence of Torres del Paine’s granite towers – these were the memories etched deepest.

We didn't encounter a Mylodon, that elusive prehistoric giant, but the pull of Patagonia is undeniable. We'll surely be back!

A word of advice: Don't wait. Experience this wonder while your legs are strong and your spirit is ready to embrace the wild.

A heartfelt thank you to Erin and Dittmar Travel for their impeccable logistics, seamlessly orchestrating a journey that allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in Patagonia's magic. They transformed a dream into an unforgettable reality.

A 5 star scale is not sufficient to rate my experience planning a trip to Norway with Mathia! I sought an off-the-beaten path, stunning, relaxing, reinvigorating adventure with my teenage son. After being told by Norwegians and American friends who had traveled to the quieter Northern regions that our desire to explore up there in a relatively short trip was ambitious and that the weather would be risky, But Mathia inspired me to trust his love for the region and orchestrated an itinerary that captured exactly what we were seeking...and more! Of course it's impossible to see everything that this otherworldly country has to offer, but I know we used every day well, without having to skim through a landscape that must not be rushed. When I made a mistake in booking a flight, Mathia heroically and selflessly adjusted the plan at the 11.9th hour and we didn't miss a beat. I have ZERO regrets about how we spent our time. We felt well taken care of by innkeepers and adventure guides known to Mathia. We tasted the local flavors. We fell into the rhythms of the midnight sun. I will forever be grateful for Mathia for making this dream trip possible and would trust him again in a heartbeat!

My trip to Japan was extraordinary because of Leny.
Hee daily follow up was so useful
Leny knew exactly what I had in mind. The hotels choices were excellent & a few footsteps away from restaurants and services.
Traveling by trains & navigating huge stations with lots & lots of crowds can be pretty intimidating but the detailed maps Leny provided made it very easy to do this.
The guide in Tokyo was excellent giving me detailed historical information about the shrines & shintos we visited & came prepared with charts to explain the differences between shrines & shintos.
Marco the photographer was amazing choosing all the perfect locations for an excellent photo shoot.
My guide to Nara did a lot of research & came prepared with sheets & charts. I found this very sweet. Shows the real Japanese ethics & dedication to work.
Thank you Leny for creating the best travel plan for me & for making my first trip to Japan unforgettable.
You are the best!

Wow, top two trips of my life! Everything we were interested in, it was accommodated for. We stayed at lovely hotels, were safe the whole time as well had memorable experiences. As someone who has a lot of more traveling to do in her life, I will continue to book with Kim Kim! Thank you for a wonderful family trip!

We had the best experience planning our trip with Moonika. She was helpful and even when we had to push out the trip by 6 weeks because of passport delays it was seamless. During our trip the guides and activities booked were perfect. We enjoyed our northern light tour, dog sledding with bear hill, reindeer sleigh ride with beyond arctic and ice fishing/orienteering with Nordic odyssey. Our accommodations were super nice, at great locations to city center for restaurants and shopping. I am thankful for the lifetime of memories that were made. Thank you KimKim for a memorable adventure. Will definitely use this company on our next adventure!

We had an amazing trip to Morocco thanks to Hamza and his crew. I would 10/10 recommend booking with them. They were so attentive and knew so much about what to do. Thank you for making our trip amazing!

Our Driver Mohd Jbaari was very good. He was accommodating and was well informed about our activities. He was willing to listen to our requests if we had any and managed all our travels very efficiently. Some of the guides were lazy and kept repeating the same information again and again. Our guide in Rabat was not very good. As it was Eid the day we were in Rabat he finished the tour very quickly and said he was not to blame for the short tour, He could have taken us to some other spots like public gardens instead of just shrugging his responsibility. Our guide in Marrakesh was very arrogant. And one thing we all noticed was none of the guides were happy to take us to the shops we wanted to go to but wanted to take us to shops they suggested.

I could not have been happier with our tour that Yuqqa Macdalena planned for my friends and I! We toured through Java and Bali for 11 days and saw so many magical places including waterfalls, sunrises, mountains, craters, sunsets, temples. We traveled by train and traveled by car. Yuqqa’s guidance was so valuable we felt secure in every situation. Our driver, Agung Ardika, made sure that we arrived at every activity in time and he gave us information about the area we were in and he stopped at areas of interest to us. We had many lovely guides and were pleased with each of them.

We enjoyed our trip to Japan very much and Eleanor provided excellent service. Eleanor provided good feedback and was flexible in making arrangements. Japan is beuatiful and it may be the most orderly and polite society we have ever encountered. We caugyt the cherry blossoms in several cities and the food was extraordinary.
