Kimkim Trip Reviews

Antonia was great, very helpful with planning, clear details and suggestions, and following up so we could stay on track. All of our drivers and helpers were early or on time and very nice. The vehicles were comfortable and clean.

We enjoyed all our tours, the guides were well informed and enthusiastic

Rachael with our wine and dinner tour was energetic and lots of fun; Tara at the Plitvice Park tour was lovely and passionate about her area. And Grgo in Hvar was wonderful describing his area in such a personal way.
The final night’s Kameni Dvoraki cooking class and dinner was incredible. Beautiful family, so warm and interesting. Highly recommend it!
We all had a wonderful time in such a beautiful and friendly country 🩷

We recently had the incredible opportunity to tour the Galápagos Islands, and our experience with KimKim exceeded all expectations. From the moment we booked, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, balancing guided exploration with time to relax and soak in the unique beauty of the islands. Our guides were passionate and well-informed, making each stop engaging and educational. The accommodations and meals were excellent, and logistics ran smoothly throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience such a remarkable destination. Highly recommended!

We definitely got a true feel for Norway and its unique culture. The tour guides were all amazing; knowledgeable, thoughtful and fun!
The hotels were very authentic and full of history. The transfers between locations were varied and always clean and punctual. A very memorable trip that I would suggest to anyone interested in visiting Norway!

This was our second trip with Kimkim, and it could not have been better. Antonia created an itinerary for the four of us that was exactly what we asked for. Our guides were local, warm, friendly, and passionate about their home land. Grgo in Hvar, Rachael on our Lumbada wine tour, Nike on our Konavle culinary experience, Tara in Plitvice Lakes and Phillip and Marko on our boat tour from Trogir to Hvar added so much to our experiences. We learned so much. All of our drivers were friendly and always on time. Croatia is a stunningly beautiful country with warm, friendly people and we loved it.
I have noticed a few reviews mentioning that you can put a trip together on your own for less. That might be true, but for us, the tours, guides, hotel bookings, dinner reservations, and drivers that Antonia arranged for us were well worth the price. Antonia checked in with us daily to make sure that everything was okay. We will not hesitate to use Kimkim again.

This was our first time using kimkim and Chiara was nothing less than an exceptional guide. Given this was our first trip to Italy, we wanted explore as many of the country’s key sites as possible. In nine glorious days, we managed to visit Venice, Florence, Tuscany hillside, Amalfi Coast and Rome. We never really felt rushed and every day our drivers and tour guides were prompt and extremely knowledgeable. Venice was fantastic to walk and see most of the island. Our guide graciously added a trip to Murano and a guided tour by a representative of the original glass maker. I highly recommend San Gimingnano and the wine and food tasting at Tenuta Torciano Winery. Our wine order was shipped promptly and delivered to us the day after we returned. For summer wine drinkers, highly recommend the locally produced Vernaccia! Focus your Amalfi Coast tour to Sorrento, Ravello and Positano. Rome was better than our initial expectations - cleaner and very walkable. Our tour of the colosseum with Goia was very hands on and a spectacular engineering achievement for the times. Cannot wait to get back to Italy again. I wanted to use more of my broken Italian but found everyone spoke English quite well!

Yet another thoroughly satisfying trip organised through KimKim, our 4th in recent years. Starting with the incredible sights of Angkor Wat and its surroundings, we travelled across country via Battambang to reach Phnom Penh, an amazing mix of old and new. The country combines amazing beauty with a dark and controversial history, and the KimKim guides gave us a full and fascinating exposure to it all.

Poleak and Sreylan are both excellent guides who made the trip very enjoyable. Their input and know-how made this truly a holiday to remember. We were able to balance nicely the cultural aspects of Cambodia (historic temples and the shocking history of the killing fields) with fun activities such as bike tours and the wide range of foods available in the country. Top marks all round.

Our trip was absolutely amazing. We loved our Riad located in the center of the Medina. Every morning our little House Bunting friend welcomed us to the day The wonderful staff: Hicham and others especially were so kind and patient with all my bird questions. They brought our breakfast up four floors so we could have it next to our room. Our guide Selem was incredible explaining everything about places and peoples. Our driver Rasheed amazed us in how he was able to move around the crazy traffic in Marakkesh. The desert was so beautiful! As we familiarized ourselves with the neighbor hood of our Riad I started to feel like we were coming home every day to beautiful peace and tranquility. We wish we could have stayed longer. We love you Marrakesh! Pat Olmstead/Orville Robertson

This was my first time using Kimkim, and based on this experience, I would certainly use them in the future. I traveled alone and visited two cities in Thailand: Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Kimkim organized everything for me, including airport pickups, hotels, and local activities. In each city, the hotels were conveniently located and within walking distance of dining and shopping. The primary local guides, Gifsty in Bangkok and Taew in Chiang Mai, were friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. The local tours used the time available efficiently and covered all the basics. Except for some minor miscommunication upon my first arrival, everything worked out perfectly.

Jordan--Petra/Dead Sea April 2025

To begin the journey, Mariana was spectacular to work with as our Kimkim coordinator. She was thorough, listened to what we wanted out of our visit in Jordan and just could not have been more helpful. She was readily available and always answered questions or addressed concerns in an exceptional and timely manner. I am very appreciative to her for all of her hard work in helping us create the exact itinerary we wanted. Her suggestions were helpful and insightful, detailed and thorough. Thank you Mariana for your suggestions and patience --the trip we put together was outstanding.

Jordan was simply extraordinary. We enjoyed every moment and were grateful to Azmi Aburezeq our driver and essentially our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, kind and considerate. He was invested on our comfort and interests. Thank you Azmi for making our time in Jordan memorable, special, safe and just delightful. We had the best time learning about your beautiful country and truly hope to return!! Your charm and kindness will be cherished with our memories of the incredible experience we had in Jordan.

I highly recommend Kimkin and look forward to using them in the future, as everything was as promised and discussed with no surprises other than good ones---such as accommodating additional stops along our journey as we learned of interesting areas to visit and experience.

This was my first time using a travel agency and wow, I am so glad I did. This trip was incredible from beginning to end. This trip was meant to be an elopement/honeymoon and it did not disappoint. The trip was a perfect blend of adventure and enough time to relax in between. We feel like we got to be immersed in the culture, especially the Peruvian cuisine! Our tour guides could not have been more knowledgeable and kind. The food was absolutely incredible and very inexpensive (in comparison to USA prices). The Sacred Valley was breathtaking and our guide found us the perfect place in front of a mountain range to exchange our vows. Our hotels were all beautiful and the staff were all very attentive and hospitable, even allowing us to book massages the same day. The hotels also had wonderful restaurants within their facilities, especially at Antigua in Cusco. We ate there multiple times!
Our transportation was prompt, never a delay, and everyone communicated well throughout the trip. Any questions I had were quickly addressed by the Kim Kim team.
This is the best adventure my husband and I have ever been on. I would absolutely use Kim Kim services again to plan another trip. It was worth the price so that I didn't have to worry about transportation, lodging, tours, and restaurants.

The whole KimKim team was amazing, very knowledgeable about the area and set up wonderful excursions and experiences as well as great tips for down time. We did have one encounter where on of the vendors no showed but KimKim rallied and found us another similar experience in no time. Overall I am very happy with my experience with KimKim and will definitely use them again for future trips.

We had a great Spain trip. All the places were amazing. Guides were knowledgeable and quite friendly. Facilities were mostly very good, however, the hotel choice for Barcelona was not good. Hotel room for the Barcelona was also very small. Kim Kim did a good job in organizing all the reservations. However, we were disappointed that Kim Kim, even being such a big travel agent could not secure Alhambra Palace tickets. My brother-in-law, ultimately managed to get us the ticket. We were fortunate to see such a beautiful palace from inside. Without that the visit to Grenada would have been incomplete We had paid in full almost 3 months in advance. This should have been secured. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and satisfied with the trip.

We spent 2 weeks in Medellin and the coffee growing region of Colombia. Michael helped us create the itinerary based on our interests. With his excellent planning were were able to visit a variety of places and have many different kinds of experiences and learned a lot about Colombia, it's people and history. We especially liked our private tours with Paula in Jardin and with Carlos in Salento.

Sandra in and around Sarlat and Olivia from Cahors to Carcassone were both absolutely superb: very knowledgeable, flexible in accommodating our interests on just a moment’s notice, and delightful people generally.

Clemens and the Kimkim team was incredible from start to finish. I primarily worked with Clemens on setting up the trip. He was wonderful in making suggestions and allowed us to make many revisions.
As we approached the trip we worked with Andrew and Kamilla. They provided a video and helped with how to use the trip planner. We also were given their contact info to use if needed.
Their planning was fabulous. Everything was just as it should have been. When we had questions they answered them. They also helped during the trip when issues arose and fixed them immediately.
I would recommend Clemens and the team without hesitation. They were exceptional. Our trip was amazing and the hotels and excursions they chose for us were top notch!!

This was a clean and historic hotel. It was nice. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was top notch. It was close to everything and we were easily able to walk to everything we wanted to see and return to our hotel if needed. The room was a nice size. There are no amenities at this hotel which was a departure from all others we stayed at. Just a lobby and a front desk. That was somewhat disappointing to us. One thing that was sort of strange is they there is a Chinese restaurant below the hotel where our room was and the smell filled our room. It was pretty bad when we got there but got better over time. The only thing we did not care for here was the parking. They did not have parking. They did provide a discount at a nearby garage but it was the most expensive of our trip.

Thank you Clemens, Andrew and Kamilla!! We had a wonderful trip to Warsaw, Krakow and Zakopane! We loved the food tour that you arranged in Poland and the castle/bike tour with Gregorsz in Zakopane! We never would have seen all the villages and figured out the bike path without him. Thank you for all the car rides as well. Those were super nice to have so we didn't have to carry our heavy suitcases on the public transportation. The whole trip went very smoothly with no problems - amazing! Your entire team were so easy to communicate with, that was really great customer service. I think our most favorite part was staying at the adorable small hotel in Zakopane. What a beautiful place.

The entire trip was truly spectacular. There was one major, glitch, but Mieke responded very quickly. And they even refunded us for the mistake. I thought that was the right thing to do and they responded immediately. That to me is very important My tip is always check the train schedule, apparently they change it without any notice. We missed our first Eurostar train, but the conductor of the second time slot was nice enough to let us on and even gave us free drinks because we were so frazzled.
Other than that , everything went well. We love staying in Haarlem. Such a wonderful little town and everyone is so friendly and accommodating.. The Canal tour was great and the Anne Frank house was extremely interesting, very somber, but something you had to see.
We loved loved loved our grand Dutch Food Tour with Mark, he was amazing. It was so nice that it was private, just the three of us. Actually, all the tours were private, which made it really a lot better than being in a group.We tasted foods I would’ve never tried, and they were quite good,. What we love the most is he took us to places that tourists do not frequent. It was such a treat. I thought four hours would be so long, but he made it go by so quickly. That was truly a highlight of the trip.
Going to Keukenhof was also a highlight, it was so beautiful, you couldn’t help but smile.. love love love those gardens. Even though they were closing in two days, it didn’t matter we saw some absolutely stunning tulips as well as other flowers in bloom.
When we got to Bruges we had a 2 PM walking tour, but we were late because of all the mishaps along the way and the tour guide. Roland was very accommodating and pushed it back an hour for us. For us, the tour guide was a little boring as was the tour. The content was nothing we were interested in. He spoke a lot about the construction of the old buildings and the bricks and stones that they used. It just wasn’t for us. Perhaps someone else would’ve found it interesting. After we were done with that tour, we roamed around the city and had such a good time. We took a horse and buggy ride, we had a canal tour, we loved the Canal tours. We did a beer tasting and got very silly.
Sunday we went to the Choco factory museum, we found that very boring. I wouldn’t suggest going there. We skipped our day trip to Damme so that we could walk around Bruges but little did we know most of the stores are closed on Sunday, but we made the best of it.
Monday we went to Ghent, our tour guide Veerle was wonderful, she was so informative and had a lovely personality. We really liked her.
After that, we went to the Galvesteen Castle.
Part of it was interesting, but we went through it quickly, it was a little boring for us.
We really really loved the Canal boat tours, we actually took four of them during the entire trip.
I’m sure I left some things out but all in all we had an excellent time and beat the Dutch travel and Mieke we’re great. I would definitely use them again.
