Kimkim Trip Reviews

The planning and the coordination of the entire trip was excellent and without any issues. This is my first time using KimKim and it won't be my last! For the Full Patagonia Trip, I decided to go with a travel planner and agency because it requires a lot of logistics and coordination with agents and other companies in Chile and Argentina. Lorena, our travel expert, did a SUPERIOR job with the itinerary (11 days). During the planning phases of the trip (which began a year in advance), Lorena listened to my requests, concerns, and my adventurous soul, and put together a stellar trip and experience. The final itinerary containing everything from drivers' names, tour companies, phone numbers, descriptions, meetings points was detailed and remarkable. I traveled with my best friend and we have returned with many great memories!!! THANK YOU!!!

In reference to the language, I speak Spanish; therefore, it was not difficult to communicate with people. However, many people speak English in Chile and Argentina. It will be helpful though to learn some basic Spanish words if you only speak English.

As soon as we arrived to Santiago, Chile, our driver, Alejandro (TURISMO MILODON) was waiting for us. He drove us to Hotel Ladera and we checked-in in the morning because we decided to pay for the previous night to have a secure early check-in. This is something I always do when arriving early morning to a hotel. Soledad "Sol" "Sole" was our Santiago City Tour that afternoon. Soledad and Alejandro (driver) provided a comfortable environment and gave us great information about Santiago. We walked around the city and visited many of the landmarks. Although I have visited Santiago in 2010, it was great to have those memories back. Soledad is a great guide tour--she is full of information. We have many conversations related to history, politics, religion, and the Chilean genealogy (DNA testing, etc.). Great job Soledad!!! Abrazos!!!

Visiting San Jose Volcano and Andes Mountains with Ando Andes was great. Thank you to Andres, Matias, and Laura. It was Laura's first day doing the trekking with Andres and she dis a GREAT JOB!!! I hope you get the job. Meeting other travelers from other parts of the World was a highlight as well. It was a small group and everyone was very friendly. Thank you for the surprise---- Andres and company organized a "picnic." There was wine, juice, water, olives, crackers, cheese, cookies... all was included! THANK YOU GUYS!!! ABRAZOS!

After Santiago, we began our Patagonia adventure. We took an early morning flight (5:45am) to Puerto Natales. Patagonia Planet was the transport in Puerto Natales. I can't remember the driver's name but he was providing historical information about the town--- very kind of him! Hotel Costaustralis --- AMAZING! The view from the room was to the bay and the mountains. The staff and the food (breakfast and dinner) was very good!!! There was a restaurant in Puerto Natales called EL BARCO (highly recommended)--great ASADOS AND FISH!!! The handcrafted beer (brewed on the premises) was very refreshing.

The hike to Torres del Paine National Park by W Circuit was out of this world. The team of guides: Ramiro, Seba, and Hector was gentle, friendly, and very professional. Once again, a small group and they were checking on everyone's safety because it is a very demanding hike and trekking (4 hours going up and 4 hours coming down). Once you get to the Base of Torres del Paine... you realized that it was worth it!!!

The transport from Puerto Natales to El Calafate, Argentina by Turismo Zaahj (Big comfortable A/C bus) was EXCELLENT. Funny and friendly drivers (there are 2 because they take turns), and the customer service provided at the El Calafate Station was superb. Ana at the front desk--THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF MY ISSUE. I lost my passport and wallet on the bus. Kimkim and Ana from Turismo Zaahj located it and returned it to me. SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL YOUR ASSISTANCE!!! We had a driver, Joaquin, who went far and beyond chasing the bus when I told him about the passport and wallet. AGAIN--PLENTY OF GRATITUDE.

Perito Moreno Glacier Mini Trekking was an incredible experience. Thank you to all the staff at the base of the Glacier and for the shot of whiskey at the end of the path. What a lovely surprise!!! This experience is worth it!!! Once again, thank you to Lorena for accommodating my priorities for this trip. It worked perfectly! And the weather was just ideal. This activity was special because it was done on the 31st of December (last day of 2023). What a way to end the year!!!
There are plenty of bars and restaurants in El Calafate and you cannot go wrong with variety and quality of the food and the service.

Lastly, Ushuaia--- Tierra del Fuego and the End of the World. Lorena scheduled great activities. The trekking and canoeing in Tierra del Fuego National Park was so peaceful and meditative. We learned to appreciate this planet more and more!!! Thank you to Luis (driver), Juan and Carlos. The home cook meal at the end was a real surprise.... with wine and great company. Small group of friendly people. The beef stew with vegetables was so good!!! Great coffee too! Lorena thought about all these details. Isla de los Fuegos transport was very professional. Ushuaia is a lovely town. The Beagle Channel and Penguins tour was EXCELLENT. I was able to be close to the Penguins. We visited Glacier Martial and that was done independently---- another hike and trekking but we got to the base of the Glacier. Terrific experience!

Overall, this adventure has been a very rewarding one. We were able to do many physical activities that, despite our excellent body fitness, it also requires a different mind set. Letting go of insecurities, anxieties, and fears was part of the lesson. Recognizing the importance of mother Earth and how to preserve it for future generations was also an important aspect of the trip. This was fun, mystical, educational, meditative, mysterious, challenging--- austral and worth it!!!

Thank you LORENA for giving us this unforgettable adventure!!! We will be back!!!

What an amazing time we had!
I asked Kat to help me organize a surprise 16th bday trip for my daughter and I gave her a wish list of places my daughter wanted to see/things she wanted to do.
Kat organized our trip so we made the most of our time. Her suggestions for a walking tour of Roman ruins on London was really good. Kevin, our guide, knew so much history. We also took a car trip to see Hampton court and Blenheim castles with David and he was also so knowledgeable.
I am so happy with the trip Kat planned. I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

Wow! How do you sum up 7 days of adventure in a few sentences? This was our first time to Morocco and I was travelling with my older father. Sharon and the team couldn't have been better in organising a trip that was tailored to both of our interests and abilities. We felt like we really saw and experienced Southern Morocco in ways that wouldn't have been possible on our own. From women's craft collectives in the Atlas Mountains, to 16th century architectural marvels, incredible food, watching the sun rise from the top of a sand dune in the Sahara desert, visiting a musician's village and having a private concert, seeing the stunningly beautiful Ben Yousef Madrassa up close... We met so many wonderful local people only too happy to welcome us and share a bit of themselves and their country with us. Special thanks must go to our guide and tour manager, Jamal. Patient, kind, caring, knowledgeable, hilarious and unflappable - our trip wouldn't have been the same without him. Thanks too to all of the local guides we met - you were all amazing! I know this is the start of many future visits to this amazing country. See you again soon, Morocco...

Amazing trip! Guides Florencia in Buenos Aires, Rami in Salta/Jujuy and Nicolas in San Pedro de Atacama were absolutely fantastic. We had a trip of wonderful contrasts - city, jungles, mountains and desert- once in a lifetime!

Christina and Mathia were extremely helpful. Everything was amazing! The apartment in Aurland on the fjord was incredible. We were on the water and the view was breathtaking. We also truly enjoyed our experience at the GLOD Aurora Domes. We saw the Northern lights all 3 nights, loved the dog sledding and the reindeer sledding. A truly incredible experience! Thank you!

Robbi helped us with everything. Besides planning and make bookings needed for entire journey - he was a great driver , travel guide (planning the room stays, beds, luggages, car pick ups....), definitely a .walking history book and definitely a great food guide ! He even recommended the correct medication for us, when daddy had a recurrent nerve pain.

We had a great time , exploring and hearing about the history of the coastal sites from Zagreb, Zadar, Plitvice, Split, Ston to Dubrovnik. Although we designed the trip such that it is a touch and go... we certainly received a full download of how Croatia came about. And not to forget, we had great food at the selected restaurants and local food/snacks! We loved the hotel at Zadar!

Thank you Robbi!! We could not have had such a perfect trip!! Thank you for the perfect planning and execution !!

Erin helped us to plan our trip to Patagonia, specifically the W trek (with a few add ons), but she had an absolute wealth of knowledge to support us with all our other queries. She wasn't short on ideas and suggestions to make the trip unique and tailored to us. She went above and beyond to find options for us as vegans and celebrating our honeymoon and a birthday. She always responded promptly and with so much detail and enthusiasm. It was such a joy, thank you!

Our tour specialist Long has been always present and available to support and help.
He is a very reliable tour specially and I would definitely recommend him.
During our trip we met different drivers and guides: all have been always on time and extremely kind with us.
Despite some challenges with communications (one of our tour guide was not really able to speak english properly) we had the opportunity to discover a wonderul country.

I asked Tamer to put a week long trip together for my 17 year old son and me , about 8 days in advance, just before Christmas. In a few days, he put together a fantastic trip. He was in regular contact with me from the start. The first day in Quito was on our own since we arrived so late. Then Otavalo, Cotopaxi, Quilotoa Lagoon, Banos, the Amazon Basin and a stop at hot springs on the way back. Activities included hiking in the Andes. an adventure park, hiking in the Amazon Basin, lots of great sightseeing. Our driver and guide, Sebastian Carrera, spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about Ecuador’s geography, history, flora and fauna. He was very personable, respectful, interesting and kind. Loved it all and so did my son.

We had the most amazing trip of the French Riviera thanks to Kimkim team and especially Sarah. Everything from hotel bookings, to car rental, 5-6 trips to various historic locations, food/walking tours, winery/olive oil tasting and tips and adivce were planned flawlessly.

Most importantly, Sarah kept helping us with adjustments to the trip based on changes in weather (rain/wind) etc. so were able to enjoy every single day. The choice of hotel locations was very thoughful and we were always close to transportation and food. the plan included driving directions, local events (like Christmas markets etc) - it just made our trip hassle free and truly memorable!

We've never worked with a travel agent before, because we were put off by the perceived lack of flexibility and the "one size fits all" feel of what was proposed by the few we talked to. KimKim allowed us to have the perfect blend of planned/unplanned and self-directed vs guided experiences. I also liked being able to plan the trip "asynchronously" -- we gave feedback at night, had a response in the morning, made adjustments and iterated until we had a plan we were super excited about. We appreciated Hien's great suggestions for the Malaysia portion of our trip, and best of all, great "real time" support when we were on the ground. Thank you!

I had the most amazing trip to Morocco! Thank you Kimkim for organising such an incredible experience for me!

My fabulous driver, Mouad, made my trip the most incredible experience! He went above and beyond to make sure that I had the best experience in Morocco. Mouad was very punctual and professional. He took the time to ask about what I was interested in seeing and experiencing in Morocco, he then tailored my trip to suit my interests, I have never experienced this with any other travel companies. Mouad recommended great restaurants and shops for the items I wanted to buy, he even took me to the best places to buy dates, Argan oil and spices! I was so impressed with his kindness and generosity, he is truly a gem of Morocco! Mouad was more then just a driver, he was also a tour guide. He was so knowledgable about his country and shared many details throughout the trip. Thank you Mouad for making this a truly unforgettable trip!
The highlights of my trip were the many amazing mosques, Chefchaouen for Christmas eve/day, the high atlas mountains and the amazing desert! I loved the desert!
Thanks so much to Hakim who was my guide in Fes. It was such a memorable experience to visit the medina and the best tea maker in Morocco. The oldest tanery in the world was such a cool place to visit, as well as the oldest university. I was so impressed with Hakim's knowledge of Morocco.
I loved staying in the Riads of Morocco. They were all so unique and cozy. It was so interesting to stay in the medina in Marrakesh and to explore the streets of the city. All the Riads I stayed in were very conveniently located to all the sights of the areas.
I'd like to send a big thank you to Hamid and Majid as well! My trip was very organised and planned out perfectly!

1. Enjoyed Arenal. Mau was an exceptional guide and we enjoyed spending extra time with him birdwatching. We added the 1968 trail and the waterfall to your itinerary.
2. Enjoyed Monteverde. Andre was even better! We spent most of the day with him and definitely got our money's worth. Selvatura was also a hit.
3. Enjoyed Quepos. Manuel Antonio was crowded due to the holiday, but we saw a lot with Andre (a different Andre!). The kayaking was fun, but the snorkeling was subpar- didn't provide fins, so we couldn't really get deep, and the reef we dove was pretty bare. As we were finishing, another hundred snorkelers jumped off another boat into our area.

All the rooms had great views, the breakfast services were wonderful, and all the pickups for our activities worked perfectly. Couldn't imagine how the trip could have gone smoother.

Thanks!

We used KimKim to plan an itinerary for us to explore Iceland this winter. The trip was myself, my husband and our 18 year old daughter. We had a fabulous time! Our daughter said it was one of the best trips we have ever taken!

We had a car reserved and itinerary/route mapped out for us with hotels booked and appropriate tours/adventures booked for us.

The directions on how to pick up our car, links to google maps to all destinations and information on locations were easy to use and helpful.

All of our adventures that were booked were terrific…food tour, Silfra snorkeling, Golden circle tour, Bubble hotel, ice cave, into the glacier tour, various lagoons and more!

We had a couple small changes during our trip and our travel guide, Migle, was very responsive via What’s App. (Elisa was on maternity leave). The weather deteriorated before our last night in the south and we decided to head back to Reykjavik instead of risk driving in a storm the following day (or being stuck). It worked out fine and we enjoyed an extra night in Reykjavik complete with NYE fireworks!

We were blown away by the beauty of Iceland and can not wait to go back!

My 2nd time in the Maasai Mara and every time it just gets better & better. Our local specialist, Nicolas, was exceptional. His knowledge of the country, the Maasai Mara, the wild life was top notch. He also had a great attention to detail to make our trip a memorable one.
We managed to see so much wild life it felt we were in a Netflix nature documentary at times.
The accommodation recommended was perfect, from tents on the river over looking hippos and crocodiles, to the food and massages. Perfect places to rest after full days of safari.
I can’t recommend Nicolas and a trip to Kenya enough

We unfortunately had to cut our two week trip very short due to a family tragedy but Esther was an amazing travel agent. She meticulously planned our trip and thought about everything and for the few days we’ were there was very responsive when we were in country. Even after we had to cut our trip short she helped us with our insurance claim. I really wish we had been able to complete the rest of the wonderful trip she planned and can’t recommend her enough.

Our 10-day trip to Morocco was full of wonders! From Chefchaouen to Fes, from Rabat, Casablanca to Marrakesh, my husband and I have enjoyed the uniqueness of each city and the crowd of medina. Our Morocco photo album was filled with bright colours, distinctive arts and breathtaking panoramas. At the planning phrase, Abdel was able to provide various proposals based on our requirements. While during the trip, Said was flexible enough to accomodate our last minutes requests and changes. From the moment we arrived, our driver-guide Faissel has provided a much appreciated reliable service. He also offered some valuable insights along the way. Our trip high points started from the moment we arrived at Agafay desert where the camp experience was definitely one of a kind. Marrakesh, our last stop, was definitely the highest point of the entire trip. Hanan, our local guide and a foodie herself, generously shared her knowledge and personal views of the city, the culture, and the food.

Rita did a great job listening to our wishes on our 6 day trip to Iceland and we were blown away with the trip plan, scenery, activities and people. Other the Hotel Katla, the accommodations were amazing and catered to individual travelers. Hotel Katla in Vik focued on large tour groups and the food was ok.

Jana of Troll Expeditions was a great guide for our snorkeling trip and she made us feel at home on 36 degree water.

We were so glad to go into winter with fewer crowds and great weather.
