Kimkim Trip Reviews

Had a great time in Australia and Kim did a great job.

Terry was absolutely incredible! We could not have imagined a more magical time in Iceland. The entire process was effortless. We simply told Terry what we wanted, and she put EVERYTHING together. From the restaurant recommendations to the hotels to the excursions - it was truly perfect. I have never had a vacation run so smoothly and seamlessly, nor have I ever had as much fun. My husband and I could not have asked for anything more from Terry and the Kim Kim team!

The overall planning and booking experience with KimKim was excellent except the first appointment call. When I showed my interesting in KimKim trip, I was asked to book a 15min time slot to talk to a local (California) person. And I found this person has no value added. I asked many questions in the call and none was answered. I would have given a 5 stars if there is no such an annoy call.

The KimKim payment and communication system are very convenient. All the communications and attachment are well kept in the system and easy to read. The response from Ngima is incredibly fast and accurate. Nigma answered our questions with patient and with no nonsense. His expertise and knowledge provided me a trustworthy feeling.

KimKim assigned a local driver Lhakpa to us. Lhakpa has very fluent English. Lhakpa drove us to and from airport and also during our sightseeing tours in Kathmandu. He gave us a very nice overall introduction of Nepal and Kathmandu. He was also a good photographer and knew the "should not miss" photography spots.

The most important person in this trip is no doubt our Sherpa guide, Furba. I would like to show my deepest appreciation to him to make this trip safe and memorable. He is responsible, knowledgeable, and considerate. He spotted wild animals to us, for example Himalayan tahr. He pointed and named every peaks to us during the entire trip. Due to the unstable weather, he had to modify our itinerary from day to day to optimize the trip. He also tried his best to accommodate all our requests during the entire trip. For example, we requested to have single rooms for both of us. He told us in some remote village the availability is very limited and because of the high demand, a single supplement might not possible, but he will do his best. At the end, we had single supplement on every nights in our trip. Furba has done an excellent job.

The last person I would to mention is our porter, Lhakpa. He has taken good care of our luggage, especially during a few raining days.

The mountain scenery is the best in the world. The images of the peaks, Mt Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu, Cholatse, Tabuche, etc., are imprinted in my brain. However, the most critical part of this trip is the persons provided the service to you. Thank you again for the persons I mentioned above.

Abraham who met us when we arrived in Lima was very helpful. He showed around Lima and answered all our questions and provided whatever we needed.

Bastien who took us to Inotawa Lodge was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the Amazon. Whenever you asked a question about a plant, animal he had the answer. He took really good care of our group.

Julio met us at Cusco was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the Incas. His funny antidotes when telling a story which relates to the history of the region made it so much more interesting to following along.

Sonia was very helpful in booking the trip and balancing everything we did so we didn't feel rushed. It was the trip of a lifetime for me!!
Daniella was our local concierge and made sure our trip went smoothly from day to day. She made a last minute change for us on a travel day so we could be in Florence an hour earlier! She was very friendly and helpful.
The drivers that picked us up for our transfers and tours were very nice for the most part. Rosanna especially was really wonderful! She was personable and picked us up on time from the airport and took us to Sorrento. The drivers like Luigi and Carmino were very knowledgeable and kind and spoke English really well!!
The tour guides were also very knowledgeable and had a sense of humor which I really loved. The Tuscany wine tour with Antonella and the Cooking class in Florence with Caterina stand out the most for me! However, all the tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful and again, spoke and understood English very well!
The accommodations for the most part were really great. Hotel Corallo in Sorrento and Hotel Concigliere in Rome were the best! The staff was friendly, professional and helpful.
Overall, it was a trip of lifetime and I was extremely happy with all of the services!!
Thank you so very much!!

Overall I had a very good trip. The communication between Meghan and me before the trip is essential and was always good.
The full day for the hiking trip was very good. I think Meghan was successful in selecting the hike that fulfilled my requests (duration, elevation change, length, waterfall).
Augusto is a good guy who is personable and friendly. He answered all of my questions whether it was about details for the trip or about the hike itself including flora and fauna. He was very accommodating, more than happy to comply with my requests or make minor changes to the itinerary along the way.
I only have one criticism. Augusto explained his hiking tour method; he would hike at his own pace and then wait for me to catch up. I agreed to this. I had no problem with this since I was comfortable hiking in the woods and because I needed to hike slowly and carefully.
However, on the return this method broke down. At one point there was a fork in the trail and Augusto was ahead on the trail and out of sight. Remember, these trails do not have any trail markers so at this point I did not know which way to go. I tried one direction but guessed that it was not the correct way. Then I went the other way and caught up with Augusto. I briefly mentioned the fork to him. Then it happened again.
It all worked out fine but a hiking guide should not lose track of his clients.
Again, overall the tour was great. It was a great hike to a nice waterfall on a beautiful day. I would recommend Kimkim and Aniyami to others and I would book with you again.
Thank you very much for organizing it all and please thank Augusto.

Our first time visiting Morocco was an exceptional experience thanks to Kimkim. We were able to describe the type of trip and experiences we wanted, and they were able to tailor or travel and stays to meet our needs. Our local guide in Fes was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We didn't round a corner without seeing someone he knew and were able to meet lots of amazing locals because of that. A special shout out to our driver Samir, who was with us the entire journey across Morocco. He was so kind and friendly. He took the time to explain local customs and foods to us so we were able to understand the how's and why's behind the new experiences we were having. I hope we are able to return to Morocco in the future. If you are looking to make some wonderful memories Fes was an ancient city with all the hustle and bustle you would imagine with history around every corner. Chefchaouen is a breathtaking blue gem nestled in the mountains that will simply take your breath away. Tangier was much more modern, but an absolute treat. The coastline and beaches are world class and a great way to relax.

Hotel Reviews

Hotel Farah Tanger

Tangier

Hotel Farah was the only let down of the trip. Supposedly this is a 5 star hotel, the forst 5 star I've ever stayed in, but it was enormously disappointing. The entrance, lobby, and common areas are all stunning and very clean. The staff was not rude, but very indifferent to my wife and I, our questions, and concerns. Our room was absolutely filthy. The carpet was stained in multiple locations. There was some type of crust on the carpet, maybe dried gum of some sort. The bathroom door had some kind of thick gunk or sludge on it. As if someone had smudged caramel or chocolate sauce on it. There were no towels in the bathroom. As we arrived and bellhop helped us with luggage into the room, the door was open and one of the housekeeping staff was using our bathroom. After seeing the state of the room we asked to be moved, and they said there was no where to move us. They offered to have housekeeping come back up and clean the room. After the second cleaning the carpet was still filthy, vacuuming doesn't get out stains, there were still bits of loose dirt and debris under the desk, and the gunk on the door was still there clearly visible. We contacted Said with Kimkim, and sent him photos of the room, who promptly reached out to the hotel to get things fixed. The hotel staff lied and told him everything was taken care of and that they moved us into an upgraded room. They did not. They never even spoke with my wife or myself about changing or upgrading rooms. The bed was clean, and we were tired as this was our last stop on our vacation, so we did not press any further to change rooms or hotels. We cleaned the room ourselves as best we could and spent most if our time in the city, only sleeping in the room. Tangier was amazing, but unfortunately the hotel was not the relaxing experience we wanted prior to our 21hrs of travel to return home. I would 100% visit Tangier again, but I would never stay in this supposed 5 star hotel again. This same review will be posted on trip advisor and I will include the photos.

Authenticity & Character

Much more modern property. They seem to try and mesh the classic Moroccan styles with modern. Common ares looked and felt impressive.

Location

Beautiful location. Not exactly close to the market area or Port. Not many restaurants in walking distance.

Staff

Understanding cultural differences in service and friendliness, hotel still had abysmal hospitality. When the front desk staff makes eye contact with you as you walk in to check in, then leave the front desk, no words, no explanation, and take 5 minutes to return its not a good sign. This happened multiple times. Staff at the restaurant and coffee bar simply sat on their phones and didn't acknowledge us we entered the open, but completely empty eateries.

Cleanliness & Comfort

Dirty room, dirty floor, damaged walls and furniture, no towels. Much longer description in overall review of hotel.

Hotel Dar Mounir

Chefchaouen

Right off the main square in Chefchaouen. Friendly staff and clean rooms. Night time is lively and the city is welcoming.

Riad Ghita

Riad Ghita is tucked away close to the Medina in Fes. The building is stunning and is filled with history and culture. The family running the Riad was so friendly and helpful with everything, including our 0200 am arrival. Breakfast was fresh, and we ate dinner there one night. It was extraordinary. We would 100% stay here again.

The caves were very interesting and the temperature is much cooler than outside. $6 to get in, just be ready for some pushy people trying to get you to pay for taking photos and trinkets. Just be ready to flat out tell them no and explore on your own.

Fes to Chefchaouen via Meknes & Volubilis

Morocco

It's a long drive, but the destination was worth it. Unfortunately a lot of the cultural sites in Meknes were being repaired, this is the down season, so weren't really visible. Lunch in Moulay Idriss was amazing and the old Roman city was very cool to walk around in.

Guided Tour of Fez Medina

Fes is an ancient city that is absolutely worth visiting. We had a private guided tour all day and I'm glad we did. The medina can be tricky to navigate so having someone knowledgeable is a must. The history of the city is amazing.

Sonia was wonderful! She listened to what we wanted, foresaw what we would need, and made sure all our wants and needs were met. She was personable and fun to work with. Everything went smoothly and while everyone we dealt with was helpful and informative, Filippo, our guide while biking certainly stood out. We spent the most time with him so got to know him best, but he added a lot to our trip. The other standouts would have to be the other guides we spent the most time with, Frank and Sandy who were both incredibly knowledgeable and interesting. We had a great time!

We asked for an active trip and our specialist delivered. We had several zoom calls to set up the framework for our trip. She put together exactly what we asked for. We had great hikes and visits to Albi, Carcasonne and Mirapoix with our guide Olivia. Our tasting tour with Jessica was fun and informative and our bike ride around Toulouse was fun. Definitely a great trip.

Taos did an amazing job. Everything (drivers, trains,flights) all came off without a clitch.. Our tours were amazing and our guides were outstanding. Our accommodations for the most part were excellent. We had a fabulous time and will recommend to our family and friends.

The Kim Kim team and Hakim were wonderful to work with. We actually had intended to go on this trip 3 years ago. Kim Kim honored all prices originally quoted. Hakim responded to all our queries promptly and thoroughly. We had one glitch that was quickly resolved by Hakim and our driver, Mehdi. I have traveled frequently and to most continents. Mehdi is probably the best driver I have ever had. His knowledge of English was excellent. He was prompt, cheerful, kept the car clean, a careful competent driver. He was accommodating to all our needs including driving us to restaurants and picking us up after our dinners. Mehdi would definitely get 6 stars if I could give 6 stars. I would gladly travel with Kim Kim again...provided they used Mehdi as our driver.
Morocco is a fascinating country and we felt we had an excellent exposure to its culture and beauty. Our local guides were knowledgeable and thoughtful. Altogether a fabulous trip at a reasonable price. Highly recommend Kim Kim and "The Imperial Cities of Morocco. Peggy Berlin

I had great difficulty with the first local specialist assigned to book my trip. I did complain and KimKim Travel assigned Oleksandra to take her place. Once Oleksandra took over, everything was perfect. She went way out of her way to be helpful. She has a lot of experience and this was apparent in the ease of working with her. She anticipating what I would need before I even asked. I wanted to rent a car to drive in both Argentina and Chile. She arranged this and everything with the car went as planned. You need to have quite the array of paperwork in order to cross the borders. I saw other foreigners at the border crossings who did not have the required paperwork and they were not successful in crossing the border. Oleksandra continued to work with me during my trip. She was amazing to work with.

We are a group of 6 – (3 couples) – who wished to squeeze in a 5-day trip to Morocco – an opportunity that was not to be missed during our travels in Spain and Portugal. Sharon put together a great package in northern Morocco that truly was an immersion in the Moroccan culture. A short 1-hour ferry ride from Tarifa port in Spain took us to Tangier, and in each location – Tangier, Chefchaouen, and Fez – we stayed in the ancient part of the city and our overnight accommodations were in converted homes of wealthy families. Clean, basic, and functional rooms that fit our budget. We were amazed at the size, beauty, and facilities of these homes once you were inside – including rooftop and garden decks - from the street or laneway the access is an unassuming door or gate!
From pickup to drop-off at the port, we were transported in a newish and comfortable Renault 9-passenger van by a very pleasant driver – Abdol – who had good English language abilities and could not have been more helpful in ensuring our comfort and answering our many questions.
Hands down the best tour guide that we experienced was Said - educated in New York and spoke perfect English. Said took us on a tour of the ancient city of Fez – including the famous tanneries, the mosque, and the massive medina (market). So interesting with all the cultural texture and historical facts that Said provided along the way.
Throughout the process, we cannot say enough about Sharon. The tour was efficiently arranged and within our desired budget. She was so responsive when we contacted her with questions, and her answers were clear and informative. Even a last-minute change to a different riad than had been first booked was handled smoothly.
We are so pleased we experienced this amazing destination, and we would highly recommend Morocco Immersion Tours & Adventures to anyone planning a trip there.

We had the most incredible time in Egypt and Jordan! KimKim made the trip super easy and super safe for us! We had a private tour guide and driver in each city and even people to help us in each airport location to make sure we had the appropriate documents needed. The KimKim Team was super responsive and worked with us to plan the perfect trip for us! We had the best tour guides throughout the trip, it started with Shade in Jordan! He was always on time, very knowledgeable of the area and took great care of us! We also had an amazing guide in Cairo, Khaled, he was extremely knowledgeable and answered our many questions about Cairo! Lastly, during our Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor our guide, Ahmed, was incredible! He traveled with us and made the trip especially fun! He joined in the boat festivities, made sure we were able to see everything we wanted to at each stop and coordinated everything needed for each tour. He was extremely knowledgeable but also a great photographer and helped us add on a few additional things to make our trip complete, like a hot air balloon ride. We really enjoyed getting to know him, he took great care of us while on the Nile cruise. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend KimKim and the trip to Egypt and Jordan, I was blown away by the history, knowledge and people. KimKim was super professional, responsive, and accommodating! They made our trip easy with the guides and drivers taking great care of us.

Beatriz and her team did an amazing job organizing our Gems of Southern Spain and Lisbon trip and was extremely responsive both before and during the trip when we needed help. She quickly grasped during the planning stage the type of accommodation we preferred and understood the type of activities we enjoy. The trip exceeded our expectations which were high!

I have never used a travel agent before so I was unsure about how to get everything started, plus with all the scams it made it a little nerve racking because of the amount of money your spending you don’t want to get ripped off. Jesus took charge and planed an outstanding trip!!! I had 6 places I wanted to see and it was planned so well that I was never not informed about the things we were doing or what was going to happen the next day. There was never a time that I was waiting on anyone or anything!!! Jesus did everything he said he would do and he always made sure the guest had everything they needed!!! If it’s your first time planning a trip or you would like to have a hassle free trip…. Call and ask for Jesus!!!

Our trip to Jordan and Egypt was fantastic. The guides and drivers were very organized, knowledgeable and on time. We felt very safe and had a blast. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you to Kimkim, Shade, Ahmut, Khaled, Mahmoud, and all the others who made it such a wonderful and memorable experience!
