This was an amazing trip. There were 2 glitches in the schedule, the strike in Bolivia which caused us to miss Puma Punko but KimKim quickly made alternative suggestions and tours. Plus a change in Nazca line air tours from Paracus but KimKim quickly solved our hotel and tour options to make it happen. Overall we were very happy with the hotel selections and tours.

Noemie was our trip planner and main point of contact. She totally attentive during our online meetings and very responsive to our written communications in the KimKim app and emails. She made good suggestions for activities and when we decided to cancel our helicopter ride over a weekend she and her support team worked together to make it happen. She and her team checked in with us periodically during our trip to make sure all was well. This was a very nice touch and a great comfort.

We booked a one-week trip to Ecuador for 2 people through Kimkim, including Quito, a guided city tour, and 3 days in the Galápagos — and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish.

Our trip planner was Alvaro, and honestly, working with him was probably one of the best parts of the whole planning process. At the beginning, we only had a very rough idea of what we wanted to do. We were still unsure about the itinerary, duration, budget, and how to combine mainland Ecuador with the Galápagos. Based on that very vague starting point, Alvaro created an excellent first proposal with a concrete itinerary and transparent pricing, which immediately helped us visualize the trip.

What impressed us most was how easy and pleasant communication was. Every question and every requested change was answered incredibly quickly and always very professionally. For example, our first proposal was above our budget, and almost immediately Alvaro sent us an adapted version together with clear explanations of what had been changed and why. It never felt pushy — instead, it felt collaborative and genuinely personalized.

The payment process was also very straightforward and reassuring (30% deposit first, remaining balance later before the trip).

Another thing we really appreciated was that Alvaro kept checking in with us before the trip started, asking whether we still had questions and making sure we felt prepared. He also introduced us in advance to the local Ecuadorian partner responsible for the on-the-ground coordination (Sebastian from Responsible Travel South America).

This was honestly what made the whole experience feel so special: everything was incredibly easy and digital, but still deeply personal at the same time. Even though everything was organized online, we always felt like we had real people taking care of us.

I can 100% recommend Kimkim, and especially Alvaro, for anyone planning a trip to Ecuador.

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Coloma Galapagos
Puerto Ayora

A very special hotel, the decoration is very creative and present in all details of the hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful (especially the ladies for breakfast!). The rooms are rather basic but clean. The pool is more a place to cool down rather than a place you can spend time to unwind. But it is very useful after a hot day exploring the islands! No laundry service but a few meters away you have a local laundry place very cheap and reliable with next day service (Iris Lavanderia). Breakfast is a bit basic but coffee is good.

We only stayed one night before taking our flight in Quito airport, but we wished we had stayed longer: the hotel is situated in a beautiful quiet piece on the mountain with an amazing view, the rooms are comfortable and beautiful. Everything is cosy, well decorated and the reception of the owner was very warm. He even has a wine cellar and you can have drinks on the terrasse outside or inside, to wind down of your day. He also has two adorable and friendly dogs. We highly recommend!

The Old New Inn
Bourton on the Water

Charming Old Inn, great location with easy walks to trails, shops, bus stop. Wonderful breakfast with amazing croissants! It’s an old building beautifully renovated but narrow hallways and stairwells, no elevator. Must be able to carry own luggage to and from room. Lovely view of river from our room. Nice size showers with rain shower head. Our 3rd floor room was lovely but low hanging rafters caused a few head bumps. The Bourton on the Water miniature village next door was impressive and so fun to see.

The Stirling Highland Hotel

Hotel was centrally located, but lacking in quality. Everywhere in this hotel there is visual clues that repairs are very much needed. Paint peeling off ceilings from water damage in common areas. In our hotel room, paint was coming off our bathroom ceiling from lack of ventilation and there were signs of mold around the bath tub. Comforter on the bed were poor in quality and were not very warm to sleep under in a roo. That only provided a space heater.

Due to no fault of their own, they are situated where you have to rely on pay public parking. Which is almost 3 blocks away on uneven cobble stone, so wheels on your luggage barely helps and there is no lift. We did fine getting our luggage up a flight and a half of stairs, but for much older people this would not be good at all. So, this should be a consideration for future older clients. Other than this, the food was excellent and location was perfect.

Beth, the hotel manager got on the phone and just like that, they came and fixed our car and we were not charged. The food was wonderful and all the staff was amazing.

Dear Susan,

Thank you so very much for your lovely review and for taking the time to share your experience. It truly means a lot to me.

I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with Ili, Chris, and Elaine - they are all such wonderful people, and I’ll be very happy to pass your kind words along to them. And I absolutely loved reading your comments about the hotels as well, especially Allan Park and Virgin Hotels Edinburgh.

I’m only truly sorry once again about the Jacobite train situation. Unfortunately when the steam train is unexpectedly not operating, the replacement train experience can feel very disappointing compared to what was originally planned, and I completely understand your frustration there.

But overall, I’m so glad your Scotland journey brought so many beautiful memories, wonderful scenery, and special moments along the way.

Hi Hector,

It was truly my pleasure helping with your Scotland adventure, and a huge thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful 5-star review.

I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed your guides - Chris, Willie, and Ili are all absolutely wonderful people, and I’ll be very happy to pass your kind words along to them.

I’m only very sorry again about the Jacobite train situation. Unfortunately, when the steam train is not operating, the replacement service can really feel disappointing compared to the original experience, and I completely understand your frustration there.

But overall, I’m very glad to hear that the trip brought so many lovely memories, beautiful places, and enjoyable experiences along the way.

Thank you again for trusting me with your journey, Hector!

Warm wishes,
Kate

Hotel Reviews
Little Oasis Hoi An

One of the best hotels we have stayed at. Authentic, super clean and comfortable, deep tub, caring and welcoming staff. We felt safe as soon as we walked through the hotel doors. The breakfast buffet was abundant! The staff was outstanding - especially Rose. Each day when we returned from an outing they would welcome us back like we were family. They were accommodating and caring as to what we had planned for the day and if we needed anything. They cared about the logistics for our travel back to the airport and confirmed details on our behalf. They ensured we have proper sun coverage during our outings to the beach, even loaning me a hand painted hat.
