Murat helped us plan an amazing trip to Turkey for our family. He was spot on with all of his recommendations and all of the accommodation, activities and transfers were perfect. Our guide Emre in Istanbul was so lovely and knowledgable. He was also really flexible and helpful given we were travelling with our 3 young sons. Next we went to Cappadocia and our guide Efe was just as wonderful. We loved the trip and enjoyed such a wide variety of different historical and cultural experiences. Would definitely recommend Murat, his team and this trip to anyone travelling to Turkey.

Such an amazing trip! Lorena did an excellent job planning this trip for me. She ensured I made it to all of the cities that I had on my list and set up all the hotels and transportation to make this adventure possible. Valentina assisted me while I was in Chile. She kept everything running smoothly. If I ever had a question, she would respond promptly, and I had a lot of questions! I'm so thankful for her assistance when I got confused. Some of the stand out tours on this trip were: the Full Day Tour of Torres del Paine from Patagonia Planet, Rafting on the Petrohue River with Ko'Kayak, all of my tours on Rapa Nui with Nico from Maururu Travel, exploring the Atacama Salt Flats and Lagoons with Hugo, and finally the trip to the Tatio Geysers with the greatest tour guide of them all, Anita from Tourismo Chile Tours!

Valley of the Moon Tour

The Valley of the Moon is beautiful. It was nice to do a bit of hiking and it's good to plan this trip early in your stay in San Pedro. This is because the tour doesn't go to such a high elevation so you can work on acclimatizing to the altitude. Finishing the day watching the sunset over the Atacama is spectacular!

Ethel and Julia were amazing! I have never used a travel agency to help book any of my trips, and I’m so glad we did. Our Norway trip took us to four different cities and each one was amazing. Our group included kids and adults and everyone just loved it. The activities and pace of the trip matched us perfectly. We were busy the whole time, but had some nice down time in the middle of the trip that allowed us to recharge. My favorite part of using KimKim was the in country planning and assistance. We had some train issues due to track repair and Julia helped us through every step and took away all our stress and uncertainty.

I highly recommend KimKim.

Everything about this trip was absolutely AMAZING!! I don't know how Eleni coordinated all of this to make it a reality, but we had so much fun and felt so taken care of, and it was the most incredible week! The drivers were absolutely wonderful - George and Anthony went above and beyond on our trips to Delphi/Mycenae/Nafplio/Epidaurus and Cape Sounio/Temple of Poisedon respectively. George especially made our experience one we will carry with us forever! And the guides - the guides were amazing! Efie and Stephanie and Theodorus brought every site to life and the kids (and us adults) were mesmerized by the blending of mythology and history happening right before our eyes. And to top it all off, the hotel was fantastic - perfect location for wandering in the evenings, safe, clean, comfortable, spacious with a welcoming and accomodating staff who made us feel so relaxed and at ease. This was truly the trip of a lifetime - Thank You to everyone who made it a reality!!! And I can't leave without mentioning the cats - we LOVED the cats!

What a trip! From the first planning stages till the last day of the trip, everything was as close to perfect as possible. Habiba Mohamed from Sun Pyramids Tours planned the trip for me after I mentioned what I thought I might like to see. She made some suggestions that I agreed upon and she also communicates very well and I was always kept up to date. My trip included Cairo, Aswan and Luxor. Hotels were arranged as well as in- country flights. But the best part was the guides and drivers. Habiba arranged them for me...I was met at airports, hotels and returned and always on time. the guides are a special breed. They all seemed to be "Egyptologists" having gone to school to learn more about their country and its history. Great detail, knowledge and passion from all of them. Special mention in Cairo to Ahmed Ibrahim, in Luxor to Ahmed Amin and in Aswan, Ahmed Amin. These men were personable, had great English skills, but more importantly, they all had a vast knowledge of Egypt, it's history, all the dynasties, periods, individual pharaohs and kings, what they did or did not accomplish during their reign and where they are buried. They are very proud of their country and its civilization. A pleasure to listen to and learn from. And a special mention to my driver in Cairo for a few days, Ahmed Zaher. Driving in Cairo is special as there are really no rules and all the cars dance with each other so closely...you really don't understand why they don't hit each other...but, Ahmed was amazing. An incredible trip planned almost perfectly!

Overall, great experience. In hindsight, would have planned the trip for Patagonia first and then Santiago toward the end to break up the extensive traveling from Puerto Natales --> Punta Arenas --> Santiago --> Atlanta --> Knoxville. The international flight is our fault because it was cheaper to purchase a connecting flight. Additionally, the city tour of Santiago was good, but our tour guide did not give as great of a history lesson of Santiago as she could have in comparison to our other tour guides who were excellent. Our favorite hotel was Bidasoa. Liked that all of our transfers were pre-booked for us. Saved us a lot of time and made the traveling seamless.

Kim Kim did an amazing job of planning, organizing, and communicating both before and during our trip to Japan. Myaen was always in contact wanting to ensure that we were prepared and understood our timetable. We would absolutely use Kim Kim again in the future.

This was our first time having someone help us with planning a trip -- and it was an amazing experience! Kadri was not put off by the fact that we started planning on Wednesday night when... our flight was going to be that Saturday! She put together a fantastic draft itinerary, was very responsive to our feedback, and even turned the whole trip from "Oslo to Bergen" to "Bergen to Oslo" in the last minute, as we changed our flights. What a good sport!
The activities she chose for us were perfect, and we especially appreciated the walk with a local in Bergen (this local is a certified guide and a historian! wow!) and the food and alternative culture tour in Oslo (the food was traditional Norwegian, and our guide Katerina was fantastic -- the tour was a perfect blend of culture, city scape, art, history of the people behind the food, and urban nature). But really, everything was great. It was a 1 week trip all in all, and we loved everything we did. We also really appreciated the 24/7 help just a whatsapp message away (even in the Easter holiday) as we did have to use it once. Julia (our emergency contact) solved the problem we had with the hotel, and when we got back from dinner we had the correct room :). Amazing. We are so sold on this whole idea of locals planning our trip -- for sure we will use kimkim again in the future.

Rita was amazing and very attentive. Thank you!

Fantastic trip! Very easy process. A little pricey for the content but an overall great experience.

Guides:
- Marta in Porto was amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable and great interaction. Definitely our favorite!
- Pedro on the Duoro Valley tour was also fantastic. Appreciated his insights throughout the day. (Side note, the tour and tour guide at the second winery were not impressive. Although the meal was good.)
- Fabio was a wonderful driver. Really appreciated him accommodating the lunch stop at Nazare. (Side note, we had lunch at Maria do Mar in Nazare. Recommended by the hotel. Great seafood and great staff down a side laneway.)
- Last trip was with Roi. He probably had the most stress to deal with the timing and the crowds at the palace. But the best part of the tour was when he seemed to go 'off script' and walked with us down through the trees/vegetation and ponds. Really appreciated his willingness to show us that part of the area.

Rita planned a fantastic trip for us to Portugal, including the amazing Azores. All the logistics worked perfectly, including internal flights, car rentals, and multiple guided day trips.

Dear Emma,

I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible experience we had during our recent trip to the Netherlands. It was truly a journey filled with unforgettable memories, and we owe it all to you.

Your meticulous planning, attention to detail, and kind gestures throughout the entire preparation process made our trip seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. From the moment we began discussing our travel plans, it was evident that you were committed to ensuring that every aspect of our trip was tailored to our preferences.

Your insightful comments and thoughtful recommendations enriched our itinerary and allowed us to discover hidden gems and experience the true essence of the Netherlands. Whether it was exploring the charming streets of Amsterdam, indulging in delicious Dutch cuisine (French Fries were amazing...already missing them; also the mini pancakes), or admiring the picturesque landscapes, every moment was magical.

Your dedication to ensuring that our trip was stress-free and enjoyable did not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for all that you did to make our vacation a success. Your passion for travel and commitment to excellence are truly commendable, and we feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you.

Once again, thank you, Emma, for your exceptional service and for going above and beyond to ensure that our time in the Netherlands was nothing short of extraordinary. We look forward to planning our next adventure with you.

Warmest regards,

The guides and drivers were timely, polite and very informative. We started in Hanoi, proceeded to Ha Long Bay, then Hue before finishing in Go Chi Minh City. Our itinerary at each stop was a mixture of city tours, museums, food tours, historical points of interest, and a two day/one night cruise on Ha Long Bay. Hotels and food met our requested levels. We couldn’t have asked for more for our first trip through Vietnam.

Melanie was super helpful in helping us plan out our first trip to Italy on relatively short notice; most book nearly a year out but we booked a couple months prior to our trip. In particular, she helped organize a hotel in Sorrento, tours, and transportation from arrival to departure. She was also kind enough to recommend and book certain restaurants for dinner. The tour guides were good but Rich, an American living in Rome, was extremely knowledgeable for guiding us through the walking tour of Rome hitting all the major sites as well as a tour of the Vatican on a second day. All drivers were very procession and special shout out to primary driver Andrea who covered us for several days. I couldn’t get a precise breakdown of the service costs and was willing to pay the slight premium for the attention and safety of having a team help us navigate during our first trip and Melanie did a very nice job in making for a wonderful and memorable Italy vacation for our family. I would highly recommend her and am sure others can get more out of their spend with a bit more time to plan out the hotels in particular.
