Kimkim Trip Reviews

Rashi was our contact for our trip. The trip went quite smoothly except on parts where she suggested we take buses. They didn't alway run as she indicated and in a few towns it was really hard to find the bus station. The road book should have included a map to the bus stations. Our accommodations were wonderful and the baggage transfer was flawless.
The roadbook was confusing at times when trying to follow the alternative routes. The GPS was excellent.

The trip to Italy was amazing. It was stress free knowing all the logistics had already been put into place by KimKim. Chiara was terrific to work with and very dedicated to ensure all details were put in place. The transportation services used made it easy to travel between the multiple cities stress free. The hotels selected were in prime
areas in the center of town, were clean and offered everything we needed. We loved every tour we selected and the guides were all very knowledgable, friendly and made sure we were safe at all times.

We will definitely be using KimKim for our next adventure!! Thank you for everything!!

Just got back from a 9 day trip to Italy planned by Tasos Mylonas and his local team. Tasos and his team (Demitris and Christos) put together a customized agenda that was executed without a hitch. We toured Rome and did an amazing cooking class where we met other lovely travelers. We got to see the preserved ruins of Pompeii. We had the most delightful day touring the Amalfie Coast by boat and we did a super fun walking food tour of Naples. Tasos and team provide a personal touch that helped us feel prepared and supported. Our accommodations were luxurious and unique. We loved that they planned days where we could do what we wanted to for half or whole days while providing us with ideas that we could decide to do on the fly/ on our own, based on our energy level and interest. We found an awesome beach club in Sorrento where we totally chilled and spent the day swimming in the sea and relaxing in the sun! We can’t wait to plan our next trip with Tasos!! Thank you to Tasos and his team. Katie Schmidt and family ❤️🇮🇹😎

Wow, this trip was an absolute dream full of fun and adventure. I am so thankful for KimKim/Travel 12 for doing the hard work and allowing me to sit back and relax. Although some excursions were not as expected all were very enjoyable with knowledgeable guides and fantastic scenery. I started my trip in Athens and was thankful for Travel 12's placement of lodging right in the city center as I was a bit overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the city. I experienced a mythical and historical tour of the Acropolis and some other ancient remains and was able to sample the local fare. I have several food restrictions and Travel 12 was excellent at providing some recommendations throughout my trip. During my time in Athens I even met and had dinner and wine with my local specialist (shout out to wonderful IRENE LAPPA). After Athens I moved onto spectacular Naxos for some fun in the sand, waves, and mountain towns. It was amazing. Enough said. Crete was next on my list and I highly, highly, highly recommend visiting the Palace of Knossos, hiking the Samaria Gorge (if that is your jam) using the ELAFONISSOS TRAVEL company, kayaking from Stravos beach with CONTACT CRETE, and visiting Balos and Falassarna beaches using CHANIA AVENTURES. Travel 12 helped to establish my itinerary including lodging, transportation, and excursions based on my preferences. While in Greece they also provided me with a WhatsApp number to contact for assistance. This was very beneficial to me.

Thank you to Travel 12 and all of the guides I met while in Greece!

Samaria Gorge Guided Hiking (Group Tour)

Chania

This was such an amazing hike. The views alone made the next-day soreness well worth the effort. I am an experienced hiker so can certainly say that this trek is very doable, but you would be best served with the proper shoes and perhaps some experience and stamina due to the terrain and weather conditions (it gets hot out of the trees!). I took this trip with ELAFONISSOS TRAVEL and was so lucky I did as I experienced a sprain to my ankle two days prior and they were able to rent me a hiking stick for added stability over the loose and slippery rocks. The guide was knowledgeable about the conditions one would experience on the hike and there was no pressure to remain with the group, but pace the hike to your ability and comfort. Along the way there were rest stops and water to fill up if needed. At the end of the hike lay a beautiful beach for a dip to cool off and multiple restaurants to eat while waiting for the ferry to take you back.

I found kimkim by chance as I planned a trip to South Africa with my nephew. I am so glad I did — I cannot recommend kimkim enough and our local expert, Esther, was amazing. This was my first trip to Africa and though I have traveled widely in Europe and Asia, I needed a lens into South Africa and what was possible. The itinerary that Kagiso started and Esther perfected made for a the trip of a lifetime, and though that's a cliche, it's meant sincerely. Throughout the planning, the kimkim team was responsive and so helpful as we kept refining our itinerary. My nephew is going into the Air Force and we kept having to trim back on time to accommodate boot camp, and there was never any pushback. Just "here's how we can fix that." And though my hoped-for visit to Robben Island was canceled due to bad weather, Esther tried so hard to make that happen! On the trip, we got check-ins from Esther and our concierge Lucy and help each step of the way as things came up. And even after our trip ended, Esther indulged us by letting us send her photos while we were still over the moon about what we had just experienced. Specifically, I want to call out the itinerary which we could never have crafted on our own. Umkumbe Bush Lodge was a gem...small and perfect for us. And though I initially thought "Four days of safari! What!" that was the right amount of time. I would never have booked that correctly on my own or found Umkumbe. We started our trip in Cape Town and Esther wisely suggested we stay in Camps Bay...a perfect spot to launch our tours of the city. We then went to Umkumbe which was a safari oasis. And yes, we saw the famous Sabi Sands leopards. And Johannesburg was also magic. Esther sent us to the Mandela Foundation and the bike ride we took in Soweto was an unparalleled window into history. We are in awe of what we did and saw and that's truly a credit to kimkim and Esther.

We loved the trip! It was designed to be a fast paced trip to see as many archeological sites as possible and I do wish we had more down time but we were designing the trip around my daughter's specific interests. Mariliza was great and with only one exception we had wonderful experiences with everyone she set us up with. Had a difficult interaction with one staff member at The Editor Hotel on day 1 but it only highlighted how amazing everyone else was that we dealt with. We had several small changes in times on ferry rides and the like but Mariliza kept in contact with us and we had no issues.

We used KimKim for this trip after a fabulous experience in Japan last year. We appreciated the ability to rely on local expertise in the first instance given a language barrier and this time given safety concerns and the opportunity to learn about more family-friendly opportunities and excursions. This trip definitely met expectations in the first regard. 1) The places that Stephanie booked were safe, clean, conveniently located, and had excellent staff and breakfasts. It seems that there was a misunderstanding and we had a mismatch in our accommodations in one location. 2) Our local guides in Joberg and Cape Town were fantastic. Capey Tours was the company we interfaced with and Emmanuel's personalized tour of Soweto and Hennrick's quirky tours of Cape Town were accessible, informative, and fun. 3) Unfortunately, we did have trouble accessing necessary details as our itinerary never updated on "my trip" or "my itinerary" so we were messaged the most up to date itinerary via PDF in KimKim's messaging system which unfortunately didn't allow us to click for important information like domestic flight information or detailed descriptions of excursions which may have allowed us to better set expectations. Thankfully, Stephanie's team was able to share the flight information via Whatsapp in time to accommodate. 4) Some details of our trip changed right before we were set to travel to accommodate local closures (restaurants and sites that were closed Sunday and Monday had to be moved to different days). Of course we understand this though we were surprised that this wasn't anticipated sooner given we'd messaged back and forth about specific days and orders before that. Unfortunately, this meant that some of the things we'd requested on specific dates (like a birthday dinner for our daughter) were scrambled. This also meant that some days were super packed. We're happy that in one instance, Stephanie could accommodate this feedback quickly and move an 8 hr tour from our first day in country to the next day so we had time to settle and adjust to jetlag.

Amandine helped us plan a lovely 3 days in Switzerland!

Excellent and very diverse trip to Peru for a family of five. Thanks to the excellent organization of Liz Karen we experienced the Amazonian jungle (Puero Maldonado) with an amazing guide (Moises) for 3 days. Next we flew to Cuzco for 4 days to experience firsthand the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Cuzco. There we had great guides - Oscar and Javier, who made the trips a real pleasure.

Emily and Romane planned a terrific trip for our family to beautiful Scotland. This was our first major family trip and we wanted it to be special. They delivered! The activities planned were exactly what we wanted. Highlights for us included making it for two nights on the incredible Isle of Skye at the Bracken Hide hotel. So magical! Cain was our local guide there and did a terrific job even in classic Scottish rain. Our days in Fort William were filled with outdoor adventures tailored to each person.
We hope to go back very soon and can't thank Emily and Romane enough.

Mar was delightful to work with as she helped me plan our Norway trip. She was responsive & attentive to my requests. The work Mar did ahead of our trip to help with route planning and instructions for finding our way were so helpful. She was even available once during the trip when we had a question about our route.
The fjords we visited were just spectacular and we loved spending time in the small towns Mar selected for us. Aurland was probably our favorite, including the RIB boat ride in the fjord there. All of our rooms had great views —of the fjords and mountains, a pretty city view or a view of the harbor.
Fenne made the bookings for accommodations, experiences, transportation etc. and it was all taken care of perfectly.
I’m giving KimKim 5 stars for this trip, and I won’t hesitate to work with them again!

When we started planning our trip, we knew we wanted to visit two countries: France and Switzerland. Navigating between the two was too overwhelming to plan. There were four of us, including 4 kids, and everyone had different ideas about what they wanted to see. The tours and experiences we had through KimKim really took our trip to another level. Our rep, Mathilde, was so patient and kind. It was a fantastic experience!

We had the best trip and are so grateful to Vicky for helping us plan our itinerary! From the start, Vicky was very communicative and responsive to our questions and concerns. She provided great advice along the way, especially as we decided between excursions and activities to add to our trip.

We really enjoyed the excursions Vicky chose. There was a focus on choosing day trips with smaller groups of people, which meant we had a more personalized experience on our journeys. All of the trips chosen for us were led by amazing guides who ensured we had great experiences.

All of our travel information was shared ahead of time and we had no problems at all in any airport or with any of our tour companies. Our only regret is not having more time to explore!

We would definitely recommend using KimKim to plan your vacation!
