Kimkim Trip Reviews

The entire experience from start to finish was exceptional, from planning to the trip itself. Our tour guides and the tours themselves were excellent. This was our first trip to Europe and it could not have been better, despite the record number of visitors to Italy this time of year. Irene made this a wonderful experience and I plan to ask her assistance for future travel plans outside the U.S. I have recommended her and Kimkim to several friends already.

Moreno helped plan an amazing trip to Italy. The process was super easy and the trip went as smoothly as possible. Had experiences we would have never had if I had planned the trip on my own. Thank you!

We had a very enjoyable ten days in Spain visiting Seville, Malaga, and Granada. Marina did an excellent job helping us with travel, transfers, accommodations, and guided sight seeing visits. All of our guides were very knowledgable and we enjoyed having our small group instead of being in a big tour. It was very nice and easy to have the app downloaded so everyone in our group had access to the days itineraries. Marina was always responsive to any of our questions during our trip. I would highly recommend using her for a trip to Spain.
Our accommodations were centrally located to the downtown areas which was especially nice. We were overall completely satisfied with our lodging except for the hotel in Malaga. The hotel was in a bit of a rundown neighborhood and was located on one floor with the rest being a large apartment building. I would recommend travelers do a thorough review of the proposed accommodations so they are not surprised or disappointed with their stay. In this situation, I would have asked to be upgraded to a better hotel, but it certainly did not ruin our stay there.

Chez Moi - Plaza Nueva Luxury Apartment

Granada

Beautiful apartment with amazing views of the Alhambra. There are three bedrooms with twin beds in one room. This wasn't a problem for our group but something to consider.

Authenticity & Character

Quiet apartment complex located on a charming cobblestone street. Apartment looked to be recently updated with nice furnishings and bathrooms.

Location

Perfect location for access to downtown Granada. One of the bedrooms can be a bit noisy due to a Flamenco venue very close by.

Staff

We were a bit lost trying to locate the apartment, but a very nice employee of the rental agency was able to find us and take us directly to the apartment which was a bit of a walk.

Cleanliness & Comfort

The apartment was very clean and beds were comfortable.

Casual del Mar Málaga

Málaga

Hotel is very casual as mentioned in their name! It is located close to downtown but in a bit of a rundown neighborhood. The hotel itself is just one floor of a large apartment building so not many rooms to choose from. The rooms were very clean, but limited common areas. The hotel rooms and common areas are decorated with very bright colors which was a bit of a surprise.

Authenticity & Character

The brightly painted walls in the common areas and rooms were a bit much for our group.

Hiking Excursion in the Andalusia Countryside

Spain

This was a nice day to explore a part of the Sierra Nevadas in Spain. We enjoyed the small villages along the hike and being out of the city for the day. The hike itself wasn't super spectacular probably given that we did it in the fall so most vegetation was drying up.

The trip my daughter and I had to Ecuador was wonderful. We spent 4 days on a cruise and saw all the wildlife you would expect but one surprise was penguins. The guides were super knowledgeable and the beaches pristine. One of the highlights in Quito was a cooking lesson with a chef where we made Ecuadorian biche. I will absolutely use Kim Kim again!

Our trip to France and Italy was expertly organized by Audrey. All hotels and transfers were set up and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The tours she picked along with the tour guides we had at each location (Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Portofino, Vernazza, and Florence) were very knowledgeable and fun.

Agnes was very responsive and great with communication. We had reached out to several Kim Kim specialists in Africa, and Egypt. We went with Agnes, because of her response time and willingness to find the best adventures. She made a mistake, not a big one, but still a mistake, and reimbursed us for the confusion. She owned up and communicated perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. We don't like the traditional tours but crave outdoor adventure. She met every expectation along with her crew, who we fell in love with! Faith, Hika, and Junior escorted us on our adventures in Tanzania. Kilifaith Adventures and Twiga Adventures were wonderful host. We started with Mt. Kilimanjaro, then did the Tarangire Safari, the Serengeti Safari, Maasai Tribe, and ended with Lake Manayara. We then went to Zanzibar from there. We wanted to make some changes during our trip, and they always went over and beyond to make sure they could accommodate and make us happy. We still talk to them today, as they were amazing people and now good friends. When you spend so much time with a guide, you want to make sure you have fun, and get a long well. They always made us feel comfortable and like we weren't high maintenance, even though I'm sure we were.

My son and I had the most amazing experience in Italy. When I was lucky enough to get connected with Giulia I shared what I was looking for. She put together the perfect trip for us, blending private and small group tours, wine tours, museums and our specific hotel needs. She did it all and was very organized-everything she planned went off without a problem. When does that ever happen? I even marveled at the way she had scheduled our museum times for when the museums were least crowded. As an example we went to see Michelangelo's David at 8 pm the one night the museum was open late. It was not at all crowded.
I have traveled all over the world and I have to say this was one of my most memorable trips. KimKim and Giulia were fantastic. Don't hesitate to use them. I will be using them for my next trip!

This trip was an absolute dream come true and for the most part was completely seamless, very minor mishaps that were easily cleared up. All of our hotels were very nice and centrally located to lots of activities and areas we could walk to. All of our excursions were fabulous and the guides we had were incredible, informative and hands on. It's really hard to pick a most memorable moment as each day had its highlights. The catamaran sailing cruise as well as the sunset cruise were definitely favorites but everything was incredible. Our guide Maria for the food and wine tour was so nice and helpful and she was incredibly patient about the mixup with the meetup and we still had an amazing day with her and took all of her suggestions and had fantastic experiences during the rest of our stay in Naxos. Our captain (Yanni?) on the catamaran Rena was so amazing, fun, outgoing and made the whole day a complete blast. The 2 transfer drivers we had to and from Oia in Santorini went above and beyond just dropping us off and picking us up and each one took us to a special known spot to take incredible pictures and gave us lots of history and recommendations for the island. The only regret is that we didn't get more time in Santorini but Naxos was a huge surprise and we both loved it very much!
Overall I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this trip and everything was put together so seamlessly and was pretty easy to follow and when there was a small issue, the agents were ready and able to fix the issue!

This trip is something that I will never forget especially with meeting my Dad’s family. It was so beautiful. Each place we stayed at was outstanding. The tour guides were amazing, explaining everything so beautifully. I thank my cousins Jeanne & Danny & his family for inviting me. I am truly blessed. I can’t stop telling everyone about my trip & showing all the pictures. It takes my breath away how so beautiful everything is. Thank you Irene for a beautiful trip. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🥰🙏🏻

Every location in Spain was amazing. Yuri and Jessica were especially great in responding to the several questions I had prior to and during the trip. The hotels in Madrid, Barcelona and Seville were exceptional. The hotels in Grenada and the second one in Barcelona were basic but functional. I would say there was too much time given to "self-guided" tours given that when you arrive in an unknown city, you need guidance and orientation right away. The quality of guides was overall excellent. I think Kimkim needs to work with its partners to communicate with travelers regarding hotel pickups, etc. Also, when traveling by train in Spain, there needs to be extra time to allow for travelers to secure one of the extremely limited luggage racks.

Wow! Tamar was such a pleasure to work with. I am so happy to have been matched with him. This trip was a once in a lifetime vacation with my 13 year old daughter. From the moment Tamar and I began discussions about this coming of age trip he immediately began designing an itinerary with my daughter in mind. We spent at least 2-3 hours on the phone with my daughter really planning this trip. The kindness Tamar treated both my daughter and I as we planned and tweaked our itinerary was really special. We were able to do so many amazing things that we honestly would not have been able to accomplish without him. I wish I was a better writer because Tamar was amazing in every way. During the trip he was checking on things often and really going beyond what I expected of him. It is clear Tamar is extremely passionate about his job.

My head is still reeling from our amazing trip to Greece, due in large part to the excellent planning by the Kimkim team. Every aspect of the vacation was taken care of, including the drivers, tours and hotels. Page and I went to Athens and three islands, Tinos, Paros and Santorini. I especially enjoyed our six hour driving tour on Tinos, highlighted by a visit to a marble sculpture studio in Pirgos. Our guide, Sophia, shared a lot of information in a relaxed and personable way.

Thanks to all the professional people who contributed to this most memorable vacation!

Pedro from Across Portugal was amazing! This is the first time I tried KimKim, and I was not sure what to expect. Immediately I was connected with Pedro, and he went through 5 rounds of itinerary planning, as he patiently continued to come up with options to suit our interests, travel style and budget - he did so much work before we ever made a commitment or put down any money!
A few weeks before our trip, he provided tons of details about every aspect of our trip (even driving tips for when we rented a car). A couple days before we left, he set up a What’s App group so my husband and I could keep in touch with him and his team.
Every single day of our trip, he checked in with us to give details about the next day, and was so personable and delightful- checking in to make sure everything went well and that we were satisfied with our guides, etc.
When we got confused about where to return our car, I messaged him, and within seconds he and his colleague Joao responded with instructions and even a picture of the ramp with an arrow. Amazing!
The best day was the trip to Douro Valley. He set us up with a boat ride, a wine tasting, vineyard tour and lunch. We had no idea what a treat it would be! It was a private boat tour! A gourmet 3 course lunch with wine pairings, and a private tour with tastings - we felt like royalty! We spent half the time toasting Pedro for arranging such an amazing day!
Our tour guides in Lisbon (Margarita) and Porto (Andre) were excellent. They each tailored our tour based on what we were interested in, which was impressive. Our drivers were all like tour guides too, going out of their way to make special stops and explaining locations and culture.
Pedro always signed his notes with “your friend in Portugal” and he really was! I cannot recommend him enough!

Overall our Kimkim trip was very good.
We enjoyed Provence & Mas de L’Oulivie immensely.
We had some minor disappointments with our Paris guide - he did not provide the complete trip that he outlined at the start of the tour (poor time management)
The BestWestern hotel in Montmartre was definitely not a 4-star hotel - there was no onsite restaurant / no room service and the continental breakfast was poor quality (we had breakfast outside the hotel on the 2nd day). In addition, the rooms were much smaller than we expected.
The windowless room in Arromanches was completely unacceptable. No windows / no bathroom fan / no ventilation. The rest of that hotel was good.
