Kimkim Trip Reviews

Overall great experience with booking and payment via KimKim. Safe, fast and secure.
Sangita and the local agency team did a great job and were able to tailor a great trip that was suitable for our family of four.
Good communication, flexible to the last minute.
The trekking we thought was an absolute highlight - next time we would even like to go higher up the mountains and maybe an extra day, or start higher in the mountains to get closer to the amazing peaks. The tea houses were perfect, clean, simple but good food and a warm shower. Our guide Rabin was excellent! And Devi a star, he was our porter, but together with Rabin a super guiding team.
Bipin in Kathmandu was a very good and experienced guide as well - understood exactly how to read the group. We loved that he could pace where necessary and slowed down if needed. With the kids he knew exactly what teenagers like. Great local food and restaurants experienced, high quality and cool.
Sanit is a lovely man who loves to share his knowledge. Friendly. Maybe more suited for a group that wants to know to smallest details about each temple. But nothing was too much for him.
Pokhara we loved, maybe next time stay a little longer. Patan was amazing!also the stay there at traditional stay was lovely. Truly enjoyed that.
Marriott hotel is excellent, can highly recommend.
Sarangkot mountain resort is ok, but would skip that next time and spend more time in Pokhara.
The newly opened Barahi hotel is also very good and top location.
The drivers were all on time, super friendly and safe. The logistics with bags, transfers went smooth.

Overall we look back on an amazing holiday.
Thank you Sangita and team!

My wife and I booked and paid for this trip in 2019, with the aim to travel in the spring of 2020. Then, when COVID of course nixed that plan, we had to pivot and delay the trip for what turned out to be (due to the pandemic and other circumstances) THREE YEARS. Abdellah from Original Travels was a patient and thoroughly helpful voice in all the time between when we booked and when we actually traveled. He honored our booking, and despite all the time that had passed, not one aspect of the trip fell out of step with our original booking and that's an especially impressive feat given when we finally ended up going.

We made this trip in the late summer of 2023, landing just hours after the historically destructive earthquake rocked the country. Under those tragic circumstances, we were humbled by the kindness, generosity and warmth of the Moroccan people that we encountered throughout the trip - especially in the form of our local guide from Original Travels, Soufian, who, despite having family in the impacted Atlas mountain region, somehow chose to remain with us for the duration of our trip and displayed an almost miraculous good spirit and humor through all of it. He was personable, knowledgable and very genuine. He and his colleague Said were tremendously helpful as we navigated our way from Casablanca to Chefchaouen, Fez, Merzouga and the epic desert, with more stops along the way to Marrakech.

The trip itself was a whirlwind drive across the country where we stopped to awe at imperial sites, eat amazing food, and interact with remarkable people. I cannot recommend Morocco more, and hope people rest assured that it's safe to travel post-earthquake. Finally, I'd easily use Kim Kim for future trips because they clearly find good, fairly-priced local tour companies to make the journey better in every respect.

I am so glad to have used this service. Lise was very flexible and adjusted tour to our preferences. She also made very good recommendations and worked with our budget. Lise’s recommendation resulted in us seeing the three cities of Provence and we lived it.

The tour guides (Remy, Emile, Thomas, and Sebastian) enriched our tours and provided us with information that brought the various places alive.

The hotels were well located and all were safe and clean. Made getting around very easy.

Great tour of Egypt

Our local specialist Mohamed set up a trip of a lifetime for us. We saw Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Hurghada, all by private car and in one week. Our best guide by far was Ghada Khalaf, which was our favorite day in Luxor. She was a true historian and made us feel right at home. It was nice to tour around the historical parts of Egypt, and also relax in the Red Sea. Mostafa, our main guide in Cairo, was also fantastic and proactive with his communication via Whatsapp. This was a very customized trip that took a lot of planning between different tour guides in different cities, and we appreciate all of the effort that went into it.

It would have been great to get the full itinerary beforehand with flight times and flight numbers, pick up times, guide names, etc. That way, you could make sure that you are comfortable with the schedule beforehand instead of being reactive and feeling hectic. The first few days were very exhausting and I wish we would have cut out some of the sites and taken later flight times so that we could have enjoyed more thoroughly.

Overall, our local specialist Mohamed was always responsive and it was a trip that we will always remember.

Abu Simbel Temple and overnight in Aswan

We probably would have cut this one out so that we didn't have 6 hours of driving with an already hectic schedule, and you're only in Abu Simbel for about an hour (two temples). That being said, it was an unbelievable site to see if you have the time! Our car was pretty small to be in for such a long time and the AC wasn't great with the heat, but our guide and driver were excellent. We really liked the soup at the restaurant there as well.

Pyramids and Cairo Sightseeing with a Camel Ride

Cairo

It was beautiful at the pyramids and the museum, but we made a lot of stops at shops along the way that were not necessary. We were more interested in the history and spent a lot of time at papyrus and perfume shops which felt like we were being sold to. We were really tired coming straight from the airport, so I wish that we would have known how many stops we were going to make and been able to eliminate some. That way, we would have had more time to see the mummies at the museum, for example. Our guide Samir was enthusiastic and awesome!

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

This tour was wonderful! We had a blast with our tour guides Marco and Ellenora. Viewing the villages of Cinque Terre by boat was amazing. The view was spectacular. We had lunch at a local restaurant in Venazza and the pesto was to die for! We hiked up the hillside to get a better view point and were able to take some amazing pictures!
