Kimkim Trip Reviews

Thank you Antonis!! We had an excellent time in Greece and will definitely be using these services again.

This was my first time to Europe and it was a wonderful experience!

Craig with Capey Tours in Capetown was amazing he made our trip even better with his knowledge of Capetown and fun personality

Eddy and Adolph at Chisomo went above and beyond to make our safari exciting and packed with a great variety of animals.

Lucy was so easy to work with on our entire trip and was very fast to respond to any query. I will definitely recommend Kimkim to family and friends our trip could not have been better short of staying another week.

Robi was very helpful in planning our family trip to Croatia. He gave sound advice about where to stay along the coast, and arranged two experiences for us: wine tasting on the Pelješac Peninsula, and a catamaran tour of the Elafiti Islands, both highlights of our trip. While Robi was unable to join us, he was available to answer all of our questions via text, and arranged for his colleague, Goran to be our guide. Goran was not only friendly and knowledgeable, he went above and beyond to make our time in Dalmatia special. Both Robi and Goran have my highest recommendation.

The Costa Brava was breathtaking! My kimkim specialist did a great job creating an itinerary that included knowledgeable guides, exciting activities, and stunning scenery! Not to mention, all of the local insights that helped me explore and discover parts of the coast on my own.

The logistics of navigating the Costa Brava without my own vehicle were made easy with private transfers, also arranged by my specialist. All I had to do was to step out of my hotel and be comfortably shuttled to the next activity or destination.

Beyond the itinerary, my kimkim specialist helped out with unavoidable hiccups along the way, making them barely noticeable. The day I had originally planned to go kayaking, the wind was too strong and the tour was canceled. My specialist simply notified me and took care of rearranging my activities and transfers so that I could kayak the next day. It was so nice not to have to think about anything or make any calls or plans myself. I am so grateful that the tour was re-arranged for the following day as it was one of my favorite experiences from the trip! We kayaked in a small group of 7 people (including the guide) who took us in and around hidden coves where we had the opportunity to jump off the rocks and go snorkeling!

The Medieval Villages tour was another highlight of the trip! It was a small group with myself and only 3 other travelers. Our guide Alvaro was great. He was both knowledgeable and engaging. In addition to visiting several medieval villages throughout the day, we also visited a couple of coastal villages and walked along nearby coastal paths which had some of the most spectacular views! We also enjoyed an authentic Spanish meal together along the way.

Another notable tour was the history and monuments tour of Girona with my guide Ona. This was my first time using a guide when touring a city and I was pleased that I did. It was fun listening to Ona explain different local and historical legends. She gave a comprehensive history of the city that did not feel exhausting. On the tour, we also visited the Cathedral of Santa María, the Arab Baths, and the Jewish History Museum. Girona city has such a rich history and I was able to experience the lion's share in just one tour!

The experience I had planning a trip with kimkim was definitely worth it and I was very satisfied with the results! The Costa Brava is gorgeous at every turn! If you haven't visited yet, do!

My husband & I used KimKim to plan our honeymoon & I highly recommend their services. Giustino & his team focused on what we wanted for our trip & planned the perfect itinerary. They also provided contacts if we needed anything while in Italy. Our trip was everything we dreamed it would be. We did a wine tour a Le Potazzine in Montalcino & our guide Duccio was great. He was very informative, friendly, & gave us a great local spot to eat at for lunch. In Rome we had 2 guided tours, a walking tour with Lorenzo, & colosseum tour with Maria. Both tours guides were so knowledgeable & extremely friendly. I definitely recommend the guided tours because we learned much more than we would’ve if we did it ourselves. We will definitely use KimKim for our future travels

AMAZING ESPECIALLY IN A POST COVID TRAVEL RUSH! THEY DID EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE IT WAS A SMOOTH AS POSSIBLE. MAGICAL DESTINATIONS, HOTELS AND OVERALL FANTASTIC SERVICE!

Christos was a superb specialist and everything we did went off with very few changes. He did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend his services to anyone wishing to go to the Greek Islands. Highlights were The Acropolis in Athens, our cooking class and island tour on Naxos, and the Santorini sunsets!! The only thing I would add to the tour descriptions is that you should bring shoes with good grippy soles as some of the marble and stone cobbles on the streets can be slippery even when dry, and are a bit uneven. But it was a spectacular trip, and Christos kept a close eye on us to make sure we were well-taken care of!

Our trip to Iceland was too amazing for words. I love to plan trips but I knew that for this trip, I’d need assistance from knowledgeable people. Duncan at Kimkim did not disappoint!

We took nine days to drive around the entire island. Our itinerary was customized perfectly for us! The activities and tours we took were all top notch. Having each leg’s driving plan mapped out took the stress off of figuring out directions and distance and helped keep us on a nice pace throughout the trip. Our pre-booked hotels ranged from small, old, and historical to unique and modern. Each place was clean and offered a delicious spread for breakfast each morning.

Picking favorite places and activities is difficult in a country that’s full of such overwhelming beauty. The activity that was the most fun and gave us the biggest laughs was rafting the West Glacial River outside Skagafjörður. Our guides Amy, Scottie, and Cam with Viking were so much fun!!

I personally loved Husavik and the whale watching-mostly because of the special encounter we had. Our boat had a humpback come right up to our boat not once but twice! Our guides were beside themselves with excitement as this type of encounter was rare. The crew on the Salka were very knowledgeable and kind. We were served delicious cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate on the return which made it more special. Highly recommend!

My husband and daughter loved our ATV to the Black Beach and Plane Wreck tour because it was just plain fun riding fast on the black beach, seeing the plane wreck, and driving our ATV across a river all while having beautiful glacier and mountain views!

Our most unique activity was snorkeling the Silfra Fissure and touching two separate continents with our hands! It took a lot of preparation to get our bodies ready to enter 38 degree Fahrenheit water but seeing such crystal clear water at a depth of 150 meters was like none other! Our guide, Sebastien with Dive.IS was kind, patient, and knowledgeable.

And finally, after leaving the best hotel, Hotel Hallormsstadur on Lake Lagarfljot, our most favorite part of our drive of the island was between Egilsstadir to Hofn. It was littered with one beautiful waterfall after another and the mountains were breathtaking!

There wasn’t one part of this trip we would not do and we know that if we return, there’s infinitely more places we could explore without repeat. If you’re thinking about Iceland, think no more. Go and book now!

Loved this hotel from the moment I walked in. The decor was warm, welcoming, and sophisticated. The bathroom was so relaxing having both a soaking tub and a shower.

There are simply not superlatives enough for the service and expertise we received from Chris and his team. From the first call with Chris, I knew we were in excellent hands. We got exactly the trip that we didn't know we always wanted. The accomodations were stellar, the excursions were perfect, the transfers were flawless. Even when we changed our mind about our excursion with only two hours notice, they never blinked an eye. Before this trip, I thought "oh why do you need a travel agent, I've got the internet..." Now, I think going on a trip without a travel agent is like going into a bear fight armed with only a paper clip--sure you might survive, but it's not going to be easy.

That was the wonderful thing about using Chris and Kimkim--it was all easy. I never worried how to get from the airport to the hotel or if we were at a good hotel. It was all taken care of. Instead I could focus on making memories with my family.

Heliotopos Hotel

Santorini

This hotel is the most stunning place on earth. My room opened up to a view that required me to pinch myself each morning. Even now, I check my pics "nope, it really looked like that." If the hotel only had the view to recommend it, the hotel would be four star, but it doesn't stop there. The staff is ridiculously kind and considerate, making recommendations, asking how our day went, etc. It's location is easy walking distance to local restaurants and it's about a 30-minute walk to Fira if you want to expand your reach. The wine bar gives the best views on the island--and as it starts to get chilly the servers come by with blankets. Everything on the menu is excellent and you could happily stay there each night. The rooms are comfortable and spacious with enough room for families and the loft gives a bit of privacy. The real star of this hotel though is the view--almost every step gives you a new vista. Heliotopos is simply wonderful.

Each morning, I made myself an espresso and watching the sun come up. Everything had the feel of effortless luxury without a hint of pretentiousness. Our room was comfortable and roomy. The view from the room was only usurped by the view from the beach lounge chairs. Even better, you could get bar service directly to your chair. The beach was quiet and sheltered--rarely crowded more than expected. Overall, this place was simply perfect.

When we were in Mykonos, we met a fellow traveler who told us that the boat trip would end up being the highlight of the trip--he was not wrong. In fact, he might have undersold it. The tour was stunningly beautiful and almost decadent. How often do you get to spend hours on a boat with wine and great food and fun company--looking at the most beautiful island in the world. The boat staff was informative and helpful. Snorkeling was so amazing and the water (although a bit chilly) was crystal clear and you could see everything. This was definitely something I would do again in a heart beat.

The tour was from the start amazing. Seeing Oia in the morning meant we missed the crowd that can make that town into an anchovy tin. We got to see the beautiful city without feeling crammed into the narrow walk ways. The guide was engaging, funny, and knowledgeable.

This tour had a potent mix of history and views--plus wine! Can it get better?

From beginning to end, the planning of this memorable trip and our experiences of it were over the top! My husband planned the trip with Austin who was attentive to EVERY SINGLE DETAIL. As we became clearer on how we wanted to experience Ireland, Austin pivoted graciously to create just the perfect vacation experience for us. From car rental to places we stayed to helping us navigate Dublin (all during the Covid times) Austin regularly checked in on us and made sure we were happy. He even gave us a private little tour of some of the museums!!! His gracious hospitality should make Dublin proud!!
Some of the most memorable places we stayed were The Wyatt Hotel in Westport, such a beautiful town on the western coast of Ireland and in Kilkenny, at The Kilkenny Hiberian Hotel. These are locations we will return to on our next trip to Ireland, although there is so much to see and explore there. Rest assured we will contact kimkim and request Austin again. Thanks for a fabulous experience Austin!!

Marina was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive to my questions and to my requests.
Everything with my trip went so smoothly, from the transportation, to the guides, drivers, and hotels. I could not have asked for things to have gone better.

Emanuela did a fabulous job planning and mapping out our trip. We enjoyed all that Iceland had to offer. Our favorite experiences were outside the cities traveling the countryside and the beauty of the landscapes. and animals. All of our guides on our excursions were excellent and gave very thorough and informative history and scientific explanations on site. The food choices were excellent , Breakfast inclusion was excellent and organic and farm experiences were our favorites
Emanuela helped us with our upgrade on accommodations as we felt Fosshotel Baron was less than standard. I also recommend that Brunnholl is less than standard as well as we ended up moving on down the road and acquiring a better choice for that evening.
Overall we had a mother -daughter trip of a lifetime and I highly recommend KimKim and Emanuela as a travel assistant and consultant .

They looked out for us while we were in Costa Rica, even adjusting our itinerary and booking us new accommodation and transfer when a tropical storm put a twist on our plans. All our accommodations met or exceeded our expectations, and the transfers were all comfortable. Shout out to Philippe from GWA for driving us some long distances but maintaining his friendliness and calm the whole time.

We decided to use an agency on this trip, as we ran out of time to plan everything. We had already found our accommodations, but that was the extent of the planning. Nadia made our traveling seamless and convenient. The most helpful were the transfers and logistics. Nadia even helped us book dinner reservations and made suggestions on additional activities we could do. The only issue I had was a couple of the activates were not that great. One being the wine tasting at the Mykonian farm and the walking food tour of Athens for families. The wine tasting was lack luster and we just sat in the patio at the farm. The wine expert spent the first 30 mins looking up restaurant recommendations. It would have been nice to tour the farm, it was said in the description that we would have local food from the farm, but it was cubed deli meat and cheeses. The walking food tour was not really geared towards kids, which may have been due to the guide. She was nice, but the tour wasn't our favorite. I would definitely recommend the sunset cruise, we had a great time!

This was our first time using KimKim, as we usually plan our own vacations. We were visiting Barcelona and the Costa Brava for our 25th wedding anniversary and didn't want to worry about logistics. This was so perfect because everything was taken care of, yet we were able to personalize our trip to fit our preferences. Our trip was 10 days total, and we wanted to do a few days cycling. James was great! He made some great recommendations based on an itinerary we said we liked and the types of things we enjoy. He went out of his way to find the perfect 3 day cycling tour for us. Communication was excellent beforehand and with Chaima while we were there.
We enjoyed our 3 days in Barcelona so much. Our tour guide, Maribel, for Parc Guell and Sagrada Familia was excellent! It was so much more enjoyable having a guide to explain the history and symbolism of those two landmarks. Germania was our guide for our bike tour of the city, which took us to Barceloneta Beach, and she was also excellent. Olga was great for our tour of the Gothic Quarter and tapas. We had plenty of time to explore on our own, so we think James did a great job balancing planned activities with general free time. The Gallery Hotel was very nice and had a fantastic rooftop deck. We were there for the biggest celebration of the year - the Feast of St. Joan (first day of summer, June 24) which was a surprise and very exciting.
Our cycling tour was through Cycle Catalan and Mark and Shelly were SO great to work with. We really connected with them. The bikes were top notch, and we used an app to navigate the routes. The routes were excellent as well as the accommodations in Torroella de Montgri and Palamos. Both places were lovely and the hotel dining was also amazing.
Our last few days were spent in Cadaques, including a sailing trip out of Empuriabrava, which was so fun! Our captain was Josep and Marina was his assistant. It was a really fun trip snorkeling and getting to help with the sails while learning a little more about the area.
All in all, our vacation was fabulous with no hitches (even the weather was perfect!) We loved it so much we considered moving there! I would highly recommend KimKim and Tailormade Andalucia for your Spain travel!

All was fine

Words cannot describe the amazing experience we had on our trip to Costa Rica through KimKim. Charlotte made it so easy to help us plan an itinerary that was perfect for our family needs, interests, and desires. They provided such great advice, flexibility, and kindness both before the trip and during. We also had Sergio Amador as our professional guide while we were there and I must say we would not have had the same experience without him. His knowledge, expertise, and friendship helped make it a trip we will never forget. We already want to come back because of them! I would highly recommend you use Charlotte, Sergio, and their team for your trip to Costa Rica.

My wife and I travelled with our son and daughter-in-law and their 4 boys, 3 of whom are big, 6 foot teen-agers. Car was a big 9 passenger diesel van and accommodated all of us nicely. My son did all the driving and he plugged in his phone and used google maps to get us from place to place. First day in Reykjavik was to get oriented - drove to a few sites, restaurants, but we were all jet lagged so we really didn't do all that much. Hotel was nice and conveniently located. Next day we did the golden circle and saw all the famous sites - waterfalls, geysirs, icebergs, etc - spectacular scenery. In addition to Micheles input, we took a Rick Steve guide book with us which gave us some great insights on how to best use our time, where to park, etc. On our last day in Reykjavic, we did whale watching with Elding and we saw
plenty of whales and dolphins jumping out of the water - good weather and very calm sea made this really enjoyable. Next day we headed south, did the waterfall you can walk behind, and stayed at the Glacier View Hotel which was just wonderful - our hosts there were so very pleasant and the scenery was wonderful. We drove to the lagoon with icebergs and the black diamond beach - so glad we did this western part of iceland with it's truly spectacular scenery. Finally, did our dip into the Blue Lagoon on our day of departure, which refreshed us for the flight home. Thanks Michele and Preeti for mapping out such a great trip - this was our second trip to Iceland but the first was a short one on a tour that just did the circle. Doing it on our own was so much better and the sites in the western region were amazing. Our son's family had an amazing time and I'm sure will be talking about it for years to come.

Johanna:

Every single aspect of my trip was top notch. I was very impressed with the professional attitude and knowledge every person involved in my trip showed. I will definitely recommend KimKim to my friends and family when it comes to vacationing abroad.
I am looking forward in booking my next trip. Please thank Luis, our guide in Cusco, he went above and beyond.
