Kimkim Trip Reviews

Rita put the trip together quickly and was very patient with us when we made changes during our time in Portugal. We were exhausted and had to eliminate some of the activities.

We had an amazing time in Morocco. A highlight … our overnight in the desert. So magical!
I also really enjoyed our time in Marrakesh and loved the Riad we stayed in … gorgeous ! I wish all the places we stayed at were at that level of excellence.
Our entire Moroccan experience was elevated by our driver, Tayeb , who I can’t say enough about … his knowledge , attentiveness and charming personality made our trip so much better.

Our agent Habiba did a good job of organizing and coordinating our visit to Egypt. She helped us arrange the activities and adjust our schedule so we could see all sights that we wanted in the time we had available. I would recommend using Kim Kim and our agent Habiba to book a trip to Egypt. It made it easy. That said, there was a bit less flexible in hotel choices than I preferred and pricing of the trip was not broken down in the billing, so it was difficult to say if things were a good value.
We were very happy with how Habiba organized our pickup and transport to the hotel at each step of our trip. The guides are well trained in tourism and in Egyptian history. They always had our interest in mind. Mustafa met us each time we arrived in Cairo and made sure we were settled in our room before leaving us in our hotel. This was great as one hotel was over booked and we had to move to a nearby sister hotel.
Our guide to the pyramids and national museum was enthusiastic and patient with us as toured these sites. He offered us the opportunity to visit the additional, fee to access, areas of the pyramids in advance so we had the option to go. We had sufficient time to see what we wanted. The only suggestion I have was to schedule the national museum at the end of the day or give an actual ticket to the guest so they can re-enter after the tour, if possible. There is so much to see and our hotel was next door. It would have been nice to just sit and observe or slowly walk around until closing. Th citadel and Coptic area were included in the tour day. I was not that interested but these sites but they were well worth the time. The meals served during the day were excellent. Portions were ample and good quality. They were served banquet style or in a restaurant. I would suggest following Habiba’s suggestion to staying at the Steigenberger if you want something cleaner and non smoking. We stayed at the Cleopatra which is advertised as a bit less but everyone smokes in the lobby, we could smell cigarette smoke in our nonsmoking room which came equipped with an ash tray 😂. We stayed 3 nights in Cairo near Tahrir square. We had some time in the evening to stroll across the Nile bridge, have local food at a night market, attend a cheese festival, and talk with locals. We left early (3am) to continue our trip to Aswan, our driver was right on time.
We took a small cruise vessel (10 passenger), the Nuut Dahabiya, from Aswan to Luxor. It was excellent, the highlight of our trip. Very peaceful in the Nile, great air quality after visiting Cairo. Our guide, Ehab, was very kind and patiently explained the history of the sites we visited. His English was excellent. He stayed with us on the cruise ship, so we had opportunities to talk at night about the food and culture. We visited interesting sites during the day, a granite quarry, a sandstone quarry, Komboku, Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Karnak, other sites and museums. Ehab was very flexible and accommodated our schedule by adjusting tour times to let us have more time at our hotel in the morning and tour in the afternoon as we had an evening flight to Cairo. We stayed at the Iberotal Luxor. It was excellent. Has a good breakfast and good food and beer at the pool.
We stayed the last night at the Great Pyramids Inn across from the new Grand Museum. We had breakfast over looking the pyramids. This is a new hotel which was not completed but they have some rooms open. The staff was excited to see us and provided us with an excellent breakfast. They were eager to please.
Driver was right on time to take us back to the airport and we left satisfied with our trip.
The only reason I did not put amazing for the rating was because there were a few hiccups. Overall this was a trip of a lifetime, thank you Habiba and Kim Kim.

We had an amazing trip in Egypt. The hospitality of the people, our friendly and knowledgeable tour guides Oshaka and Syed and ofcourse the sites! Pyramids are definitely a wonder of the world. We loved our trip.

The hotel in Porto was great! It was in a good location which was convenient for exploring. The only downside was the parking situation.

We had the pleasure of working with Antonis to plan my 2-week honeymoon exploring the beautiful islands of Greece, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Antonis' perfect planning, private transfers, and fine attention to detail truly created a unique and memorable journey for us. From the moment we arrived in Greece, we were treated to a seamless and luxurious experience. Antonis ensured that every aspect of our trip was thoughtfully considered, from hand-picked accommodations with stunning views to personalized excursions that allowed us to explore the islands in an intimate and unforgettable way. Just about every tour guide we met said how perfect our itinerary was, and we couldn’t agree more. The private transfers were a game-changer, making our travels hassle-free and exclusive. Antonis' passion for Greece and dedication to creating the perfect honeymoon was evident in every step of the journey. I can't thank him enough for making our honeymoon a dream come true. If you're looking for a travel planner who goes above and beyond to craft a once-in-a-lifetime experience, Antonis is the one to choose. We will cherish these memories forever. Thank you, Antonis!

Samir was so amazing and helpful from day 1 planning our trip to Jordan. We had quite a few changes as well closer to the trip date and he was able to accommodate all this timely, it was such a huge help. It was also nice of Samir to check in on us during the trip.

During our trip it was really smooth-sailing from the time we arrived. Our driver Anis picked us up and was our driver throughout. Anis was so patient with us, knowledgeable about Jordan and the place we were visiting, advising us on the recommended places to visit and when not to, he knew his background and history of the places which really enhanced our visit. We had a little set-back due to some unforeseen circumstances but Anis continued to be patient and advised us accordingly, supporting us and being so resourceful during these set-backs. He was a lovely company to be with throughout our trip, without being too intrusive too :)

Just a side note, myself and my husband realised that the food in Jordan is very salty (more at the local restaurants in malls etc., hotel food and some restaurants was totally okay), which according to my friend who stayed in Jordan before, it is normal as they like it this way. We had some stomach issues because of this, but again Anis was able to accommodate and take us to the pharmacy etc.

Overall, loved our honeymoon. Will be a great memory for us! ^^ Really appreciative and grateful towards Anis and Samir :)

Ohh we had a really good time at Petra, it's totally different to seeing and hearing about it online. At it being our first official activity during our trip, it really boosted morale after our long flight especially. There was lots of walking but our guide was able to captivate us a lot with the history of the place. We took a private guide and it felt more personal so we liked that. At the end, we got a donkey ride back to the treasury (because it was a long walk) so that was a nice experience too.

My trip to Oslo was jam packed full of activities. The team at Unforgettable Nordic was easily able to plan a variety of activities that suit my interests into every single day. Their agents are very flexible with altering travel plans, and quick to respond should any mishaps occur.

Sarah and her colleagues organized a trip of a lifetime for my girlfriends and I! When planning, Sarah listened to what we wanted in our trip, then arranged great tours, accommodations and experiences. Mislav was on the ground, answering questions and making recommendations as needed.

I would highly recommend visiting Mljet National Park. Luksha took us on a breathtaking hike one day and led us around the islands on a kayaking tour the next. Our time at the park was my was definitely a highlight. Thank you Sarah!

I had a wonderful experience with Original Travels, notably, Abdel, Said, and Tarik on our 10 day trip to Morocco. Some of my most memorable experiences included our stay in the Sahara and our time in Marrakech. While in Marrakech we had a tour, hit air balloon ride, cooking class, and visited a hamam. Planning a long trip like this with multiple stops and activities can often be overwhelming but we were consistently in good hands and had a good experience.

To say that Dahlia arranged the perfect trip for myself and my wife would be an understatement. It was 21 days of exciting excursions, beautiful hotels, and out if this world food. Each hotel that Dahlia booked was centrally located so that we could walk to all activities. In addition, the staff at each hotel was responsive, caring and professional. The views from our rooms included the royal palace, castles and cathedrals, Biscayne Bay and an adorable courtyard. Dahlia arranged tours which provided historical context of the area, art history, wine, pinxtos and tapas along with a flamingo show. Some of our favorites were the Roman ruins of Merida with Marco, the San Sabastian pinxtos/wine tour with Hector, the historical Toledo tour with Dan, the Malaga art history/Picasso Museum tour with Julian, and the historical tour of Madrid with Mercedes. In addition we thoroughly enjoyed learning about the food of Sevilla and flamenco from Cance, the Alhambra in Granada from Sabina and the magnificent La Mezquita de Cordoba with Maria. Each of our tour guides were personable, knowledgeable and considerate. Of course, as always, we had several questions along the way and Dahlia was available no matter the time or day. Her professionalism never ceased to amaze us. We would highly recommend Dahlia when planning any trip to Spain.

I can say nothing but raves about our trip to Portugal . Pedro did a great job planning our trip and he keep in touch with us daily. All our guides and drivers could not have been better , friendly and informative. The hotels were great and were what we ask for, local and no big chains. I would definitely use kimkim again!

A big thank you to Said for planning a perfect holiday in Morocco for us. He was able to adjust the itinerary to make sure we visited all the areas of the country that we wanted to see.
The trip into the desert and the luxury camp was a highlight. I experienced one of the best evenings of my life sitting under the stars around a fire in the Sahara desert as our Berber hosts sang traditional folk songs. It’s a moment I will never forget.
Not everything was perfect though.. During the planning, I told Said we wanted to visit a sculpture garden just outside Marrakesh, and he told me our driver would be more than happy to bring us there on our first day in the city. Our driver Faissal said he wasn’t aware of that plan and told us there was not enough time. He said it was an hour away, and that the garden isn’t as nice as the one we would see the next day. He may have been looking out for our best interests but it was a disappointment.
The accommodations were very good for the most part Although our hotel in Chefchaouen was disappointing. We were not warned that we would be carrying our bags through the streets to the hotel. When we arrived, the place was in disrepair. There was no door knob on our room door so it was difficult to get in. After we complained they put one on, but I noticed another room had the same issue. Did they take the knob off that door to put on ours? The button was broken off the toilet to flush. The towels were damp, but at least they were clean. We were told not to drink tapwater in Morocco and were reminded by our driver and guides. But there was no complementary water at that hotel. We had to pay double what we paid at other shops in the country.
The private tours by guides in each city were well done, especially the tour in Fes by Sharif. As with most tours, these always involved a “shopping” trip to a factory or craft center. While it’s always nice to support local craftspeople we were not really interested in shopping.
I also could have skipped the movie studio tour - even the guide seemed bored.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved Morocco and the tour

Johanna was great to work with! Very patient with many messages back and forth trying to decide where to go and what to do. Would highly recommend working with her to friends and family. Our portion of our trip in the Amazon was great. Javier was the best guide! Next we spent time with Edwin in Cusco going to Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley and Rainbow Mountain Palccoyo. Johanna strongly recommended the ATV tour and it was definitely a highlight. The lunch with the llamas after ATV was incredible. We loved Machu Picchu with Huayna Picchu hike as well as Rainbow Mountain Palccoyo, both highlights of the trip. Edwin was also the best guide, full of knowledge and fun to spend our days with. His driver John was a rockstar too. The trip couldn’t have gone any better, far exceeded expectations for all 8 of us! Thank you!!

Lise did an awesome job making our trip special. I gave her a budget and she made it happen. Every detail went as planned and we could not be more satisfied with the services provided.

In Paris we toured the Eiffel Tower, private Louvre tour, took a private medieval Paris tour and a private food tour. We also had a Seine river dinner. Delicious!! Each guide was punctual and personable. It was like we had an old friend that knew the area! So nice.

We took the train from Paris to Nice which was very relaxing. It gave us a chance to see the countryside and enjoy not having to drive.

In Nice we toured Monaco, Antibes, Eze, Cannes and a perfumerie factory. All of these were worth the money and again our guides made it personable and exciting.

Overall we would visit France again and would book with Lise. She communicated well and was available to help when our plans had to cancel or change. Two thumbs up!!

My wife and I have travelled the world and this hotel was the nicest place we have ever stayed. Luxury is an understatement . We would absolutely stay here again. We booked a dinner at Chantecler restaurant which is onsite of the hotel. They are a Michelin Star restaurant and this was our favorite meal of the entire trip to France. That is saying something as all the food in France is good. It was an expensive splurge but absolutely worth it. You will not be disappointed.
