Kimkim Trip Reviews

Now that we've found KimKim, we won't go it alone again. We had the luxury of enjoying our vacation without a care in the world. Angela ensured we were in good hands from when our plane landed to when we returned to the airport 17 days later. Angela checked in on us and sent us important reminders during our trip, so we never missed a beat. Several times we raised our glasses and said, "Yamas Angela!"
Our trip was well planned. She listened to our needs and gave us multiple options, so we felt in control. Thankfully when we thought we were too tired for an experience and contacted her to bail, she convinced us not to drop it. She was right every time. Here are some of the tours we LOVED:
Food Tour on Milos with our guide Michael. As a native, he had loads to share. He also owns a nightclub, Fiki. When we visited, he treated us like gold. Ask for the Spicy Salad - a drink to remember.
Janos was our guide when we sailed and explored Kimilos Island. We appreciated his relaxed style, and the service plus lunch was five-star.
Private sailing on Milos was a true highlight, thanks to the captain, crew and challenging winds. We sailed to coves and caves you couldn't get to otherwise. The crew brought plenty of wine and songs and played guitar as we sailed into the sunset.
If you go to Naxos, TAKE THE DISTILLERY AND OLIVE TASTING TOUR. Promponas Distillery brings more to the table than you will ever anticipate. Third-generation owner, Katerina, is all heart. Get ready for the good stuff.

Hotel Reviews

Urban Frame Hotel

Athens

We are giving this five stars for location; they are 6 minutes from everything. That was our running joke anyway because we never had far to walk. The neighborhood is delightful. The staff is helpful. There is coffee available in the room. Breakfast is served at 8 am, so if you have early plans, include a stop at the nearby bakery/ coffee shop before you go.

Tips for future travelers

Be patient when the staff tells you to close all the windows and wait 30 minutes for the air to kick on. It works!

Cape Sounio & The Athens Riviera Sunset Tour

Greece

This was an average tour but might have been better if buildings hadn't been closed or stops missed. Our guide and driver were as interesting as the tour. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center was closed and the mirror pool was not as impressive as the photos. We were not able to get close to Lake Vouliagmeni but did manage to see it from a lookout point. I think we would choose to go there for the day instead of the tour. I don't remember "Enjoy a selection of meze (Greek tapas) and a drink at a seaside tavern" but we did get a fabulous recommendation for one in the city. The sunset was pretty at the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion. Our guide new where to take the money shot.

Milos Food Tour

Greece

If you go to Milos, you must go on this tour. It's a fantastic way to understand the history of this island and appreciate its history. Yes, I am still referring to a food tour. We cooked fish in the sand, ate fresh goat cheese, and ended with island wine. Our tour guide, Micheal, was the bomb. Request Michael if you can, as he is a local and owns a cocktail and wine bar called Fiki. He's an incredible host, as were all the establishments we visited along our tour.

Full Day Sailing Tour Around Milos (Catamaran from Adamas)

Greece

This was one of the biggest unexpected highlights of our trip. I can't believe we almost canceled it due to the winds. The boat was just the right size for the six of us and the 2 person crew. They sailed with the winds and took us to places only small sailboats could go. The waters were crystal clear. We sailed through caves where the water's turned purple. We found white rock cliffs to jump from into the incredible coves. The food was okay but the drink was plenty. It kills me that I can not remember the name of the fabulous woman who served as shipmate and guide because she also entertained us with song. The captain shared his guitar and let us play while we all say. He played a few beautiful songs and sang with our guide. I am so sorry I can not remember their names. You could not ask for a more memorable Greek sailing tour.

We just had a wonderful family vacation in Vietnam. Thanks to Nhung who was super helpful in planning our vacation right from the very beginning. She listened to our preferences and needs and presented multiple options for us to choose from and then helped fine tune our itinerary many times until we had what we wanted. She has been friendly, responsive and very professional through all our interactions. Everything was perfectly arranged at Vietnam from our guides and local travel, right down to our pretty stringent dietary needs. Nhung also checked in on us periodically throughout the vacation which was so thoughtful and nice of her to do.

Our local guides - Mr. Loan, Mr. An and Mr. Phong were all phenomenal. Knowledgeable, friendly, caring and professional. We loved learning about the history and culture of the Vietnamese people through our guides. They also made our trip memorable by providing the right mix of touristy and off the beaten path experiences which included hiking and biking through villages, meeting people, eating local food etc. Vietnam has such a rich culture and heritage. And the Vietnamese are most friendly and welcoming. Thank you Nhung and kimkim for a fantastic vacation.

Christos Gravas, was our wonderful Travel Advisor. From the very outset in planning, he considered our desires for islands to visit, type of accommodations, and interest in side ventures.
Chris was kind, personable, and extremely helpful to us while we took our trip. He was immediately responsive by text or phone with any questions or concerns we had along the way.
Chris was very friendly and welcoming upon our arrival the first day. He had sent us a detailed itinerary for each day of our trip. We received ferry tickets for three different days when we arrived. Chris was also quite helpful in sending our final hotel a link in order to print a hard copy of our airline boarding passes. He arranged drivers to be ready and waiting to transport us to and from each activity and hotel. Each driver was punctual, polite, friendly, and helpful with luggage and knowledge of the area.
Each hotel Chris booked was luxurious and central to interesting sights, beaches, restaurants, and shops. The breakfasts each morning were sumptuous with a lovely, delicious variety of offerings.
We loved the opulent double room with sea front view at Saint Andrea Paros Seaside Resort. The porch was relaxing, the staff couldn’t have been kinder or more hospitable. The huge pool was beautiful!
Cyano Suites Premium Suite with Sea View was absolutely decadent! Two bathrooms and a huge space, also with a lovely porch, overlooking the Temple of Apollo. It was within easy walking distance to The Old Market district and stunningly beautiful beaches. The amazing homemade baked goods and frittatas, fruit yogurts and variety of coffee choices started the day on such a positive note!
We loved our Executive Room Caldera View at Agali House in Santorini. The private patio overlooking the Caldera was stunning. The pool here was a welcome relief from heat. We got our exercise in with the many stairs between the walking path of Firostefani and our hotel door. The hotel was midway between Fira and Imerviglio, so we had an opportunity to hike to both locations. So very scenic!
Katerina, a lovely, knowledgeable and friendly food guide, took us on a fantastic four hour food and drink tour through the Plaka area of Athens! Such fun, and an opportunity to be introduced to the traditional foods, drinks, and snacks that make Greece such an amazing place to visit!
The authentic Greek cooking class and tasting at Anezina Villages in Paros was a fantastic, memorable experience, and not to be missed! The instructor was a lot of fun with a great sense of humor, and tasty recipes. We can’t wait to try them at home.
The Traditional Village and Family Home Cooking in a quaint inland village in Paros was intimate and lovely! The mother/ daughter hosts were warm and very sweet and the meal was great!
We enjoyed our tour of the Moraitis Winery in Paros. We learned a lot about the production and process of Greek wine making. The guide and sommelier taught us so much!
The Santorini Wine Tour was absolutely fabulous, and must be included in your itinerary if visiting this island. Hercules was so entertaining, fun, and quite knowledgeable. The three wineries were great, particularly the last overlooking the Caldera. What a wonderful experience!
The piece de resistance on our final night in Santorini on The Sunset Oia Catamaran cruise was phenomenal! The Delos Boat with three crew was memorable, entertaining and so enjoyable! The native Greek,Alice, was a remarkable cook and created a luscious dinner onboard enjoyed by all.

Beatriz was very flexible and accommodating with the numerous changes to the itinerary. She was also very prompt and responsive to all our questions and needs. Beatriz also had many wonderful restaurant recommendations and things of interest to do while visiting the various cities.

Luis worked with us extensively to craft a trip that met our unique needs – in terms of the cities we wanted to visit, the activities & sites we wanted to see, and modes of transportation. He was incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process, and and while we were in Spain, he called us several times to check in, and was there if we had any questions at all! On the itinerary itself, we certainly were able to have the local experience – both the sites we saw, and the guides that Luis connected us with. A lot of the tours were private which was great, though the group ones were always with a lovely crowd. The quality of the tours / guides sometimes was better than others, and for non-Spanish speakers I think language barrier was a challenge sometimes, but nevertheless we had a great experience on all. One thing to note is that when booking, an itemized price breakdown is not available for hotels, activities, etc – but Luis will work with you to make sure the trip is within your budget. Overall, I would absolutely recommend using Luis and Hidden in Spain for any future travels – his thoughtful touches certainly made for an unforgettable experience!

Nick, our tour guide, did a fantastic job showing us his beautiful country. At our request, this was a personalized tour with some new destinations which sometimes presented challenges. Nick was always able to handle well any unexpected circumstances. The ride in the tour bus was at times a bit rough, but that is to be expected when traveling some not so good roads in a four wheel drive vehicle. The food was excellent, specially the salads and local ice cream. The pace of the trip was perfect for two retired couples and Nick was ready to assist with any question or necessity. Great experience. Thank You.

Our delayed trip to Morocco from 2020 finally materialized in 2022, and was definitely worth the wait! Throughout the entire process, our personal agent, Hakim, was so incredibly responsive and helpful. He answered all of our questions immediately and in friendly and useful manner. He put together an extremely memorable trip for us with amazing sites, hotels and guides. Our driver, Mohammed, was THE BEST. He was so nice and knowledgeable and drove the streets and highways of Morocco so skillfully. I'm often nervous in passing cars on the highway, but he did so with such experience that I never felt stressed or afraid. Our local guides were great as well. Yaseen, Hafid, Yousef, and even our camel guide, Hamid, were all so welcoming and knowledgeable.

We visited Chefchaouen ("The Blue City"), the Roman ruins of Volubilis, the old medina in Fez, the Atlas Mountains where we saw macaques, and nomads with their flocks of sheep, the Sahara Desert where we rode camels to our luxury tent camp (simply amazing!), a wonderful riad in Ait Benhaddou, and the historic sites of Marrakech. Each experience was its own highlight, making it difficult to say which we liked best.

This was definitely one of the best trip experiences we have ever had, thanks to the great work of Hakim and kimkim. We have already recommended them to friends wanting to travel abroad (we were working with kimkim for another trip to Costa Rica also in 2020 and the agents there were quite helpful as well). But we strongly recommend anyone considering a trip to Morocco to choose kimkim and request Hakim as your personal agent. You'll be glad you did!

Exempting the natural beauty of Peru, nice people and cuisine, the highlight(s) of our trip were our local guides: Blanca in Lima, Gabi in Cusco and Elizabeth in Arequipa. Those ladies were absolutely amazing. Their knowledge, attentiveness and understanding were only matched by their kindness. Thank you ladies for a trip we will surely not forget. Thanks go also to Anne who was working behind the scenes. Tea and Dom

Wow - another fantastic personalized trip planned by Kimkim! Marina helped design a trip for 3 couples with a focus on culture, food, and experience. Highlights included city walking tours of Porto and Lisbon, a very rich cultural food tour in Lisbon, wine country visit, and an interactive cooking class. Hard to say which was the favorite - we all loved it.

Definitely a great way to learn the history of the city and see it on foot. Our guide was a native English speaking but was raised in Porto. He was informative, and showed us some secret nooks and crannies of the city we wouldn't have found on our own. He also provided us with some options for other sites and restaurants to visit. I highly recommend this tour - especially on your first or second day in Porto.

Lisbon

It's a great experience - the location was in an old part of the city, the music was interesting and beautiful. The evening included dinner and that was good too - I had a traditional dish. Our waiter really made our night - he was fun to interact with and really added to our experience here.

Day Excursion to Douro Valley: Wine Tasting & River Cruise

Porto

Our guide picked us up at our hotel and stayed with us the day as we visited a couple wineries and the Douro Valley area. Our guide was very fun, engaging, and helpful. The Douro Valley is very scenic and the little wineries we visited were charming and boutique. The river cruise was not that great - I would skip that. We felt we saw all the countryside by driving to the little wineries in the valley. We should have gone to another winery instead! The guide was great though, and made up for any short-comings of the river cruise. I gave it 4 stars because of the river cruise - otherwise the wine tasting was a 5/5!

The best trip ever! Great planning, communication, accomodations and experiences. And of course, the best driver, Tarik!
Highly recommend!

Usually, when we travel, I do all the research, book everything, etc. but, with two kids under four in the house and work schedule, I went ahead and checked out KimKim to book a trip to Costa Rica. We ended up using Bryan with Serendipity Adventures, which worked out quite well.

We stayed in Liberia for a couple days, a couple days a Rincon de la Vieja, and then a couple days at Playa Portero. Honestly, our least favorite part was Liberia. However, the night we arrived, Bryan arranged for us to have a coffee experience with Tierras Altas. This was incredible. It was informative and fun. We learned lots about the different type of beans, methods of brewing, and even the about the coffee industry world-wide. We have already ordered coffee beans from Tierras Altas back to the States. Rincon de la Vieja was action-packed- rappelling into canyons, tubing, zip-lining, horseback riding. And, then food was incredible! Those certainly were our favorite days. But, the accommodations at Bahia del Sol at Playa Portero were phenomenal: swim up bar, incredible beach access, and the rooms were great for us as a couple.

We loved Costa Rica! I'm thankful for Bryan putting this together. The best part of working with Bryan was that there were a few times during the week we wanted to make tweaks, and Bryan was quick to contact drivers to make sure we could get it all done. Bryan worked quickly and efficiently to make sure all was smooth.

We just returned from a magnificent vacation in Colombia planned by the amazing local specialist, Wendy. Wendy planned the perfect itinerary for us in Medellin, Zona Cafetera (coffee region) and Cali. She was so easy to communicate with leading up to the trip and checked in all the time during the trip to make sure all was going well. She coordinated amazing tours for us with local guides Samuel and John who had so much passion as guides me helped us truly appreciate the beauty of Colombia. I have to admit I was a bit nervous using an unknown specialist on the internet but after this trip and everything Wendy planned for us I would 100% definitely use KimKim again for future travel! Thank you for a truly memorable trip!

Julia was great in planning our trip. Sonia, as our guide, was also great. Always available to help with questions.

How lucky we were to find Marina!!! I was not familiar with kimkim prior to this trip but it was a blessing to find and work with Marina. She has a lot of first hand knowledge of both cities and she was patient as we worked through organizing various groups of family members in both places.

Our time in Paris was exceptional. In addition to seeing the usual sites we had a day trip to Versailles and Giverny. The tour guide was wonderful and the driver gave us a nice stress-free ride during a very busy traffic time. Our accommodations were fun and different - the hotel was actually a barge on the Seine River. We would not have found that ourselves.

The bullet train to Barcelona was fantastic - totally the way to go. It was comfortable and a good way to see the countryside. Our accommodations just off Las Ramblas were top notch and the tapas tour for our group of eight was delicious and fun.

Thank you, Marina!! We look forward to many more trips in the future and will look first to kimkim for planning.
