Kimkim Trip Reviews

The trip that Owen and his team set up was amazing. The places we stayed, the things we saw, the food we ate was all well selected and incredible. Days traveled weren’t to long and we had time to explore the sites, towns and anything we spotted along the way.

Our experience was wonderful and a lot more qualitative than what we expected. Thanks to the great guidance of Naresh and Kunga we always had the best accomodations and often a private room for us two with bathroom attached. This even in the highest point.
Naresh, the guide, was always adapting to our pace, finding the right balance between giving us additional information and explanation, and respecting our privacy. They were always available if we needed anything.
We made it to the top thanks to them!

I want to thank Linda and the whole local team for their help in organizing a family trip to Ecuador! We planned this trip as a wedding celebration instead of the traditional reception, to share our love of travel with those closest to us- our families! We had the most spectacular adventure-packed trip, and truly were able to see all the highlights of the Galapagos Islands in our week visiting. We particularly loved that we were able to customize our trip to be as active as we are. Every day was a new adventure, our families had such a great time, and we will never forget all the beautiful wildlife we were so fortunate to experience together.

We were taken care of every step of the way, with every transfer, guide and excursion meticulously thought out. Linda and the team even assisted with making dinner reservations for our large group for a few nights. Lisa, our local coordinator in Puerto Ayora, helped us with any last minute changes that we would otherwise have to figure out for ourselves. My husband and I are looking forward to coming back soon to continue to explore all that these islands have to offer. Thank you for the most wonderful memorable trip!

We had a wonderful holiday.
Emanuela worked with us to plan a trip that was perfect for our needs, wants and time constraints. She was always responsive and regularly in touch before and during the trip. Logistically, the bookings she made for our trips all worked exactly as intended. We were particularly delighted with the company she chose for our two expeditions, the minibus and the guides were truly excellent.
In Reykjavik, Sky Lagoon was an absolute highlight and my favourite restaurant was Fiskfelagid although we sampled many and had lots of excellent food!

My family and I decided to take a last minute trip to Greece. We worked with Angela who was absolutely amazing and planned the perfect trip for us that gave us everything we wanted to get out of the vacation. Angela worked very closely with us to completely curate the perfect vacation. We toured with very knowledgeable guides that enriched our experience and appreciation of the many ancient villages, sites and ruins that Greece had to offer. We spent a day hiking a beautiful gorge and were rewarded with an amazing seafood lunch at the seaside and some time on a prisitne beach on the Libyan sea, That was followed the next day with a hunt for truffles on the mountain side with a wonderful truffle hunter, his daughter and two adoable Lagotto Romagnolos, a truffle hunting dog breed from Italy that we never knew existed. We later took our treasures to a taverna and cooked a delicious truffle pasta, toured a cave and even made some pottery.

Every detail of our trip was taken care of making it a true vacation, and one that has left us with many wonderful memories and breathtaking pictures. I would strongly recommend Angela and kimkim for anyone looking to have a memorable experience.

We had a wonderful trip to Colombia, and working with KimKim/Chaska Tours made the planning very easy. Michael listened to all my requests, and his expertise ensured we had some really interesting experiences that I would never have known to look for when planning the trip myself. I still feel like I played a part in the planning of the trip, but I didn't have to worry about making sure everything was booked as it was all done for us. KimKim also has a wealth of resources which helped with the planning process. Overall, I feel we got a really good feel for Colombia, and learned a lot about the country and it's history from our amazing guides.

Villa Maria Tayrona, a Kali Hotels

Los Naranjos

Really enjoyed our stay here. Very comfortable, and a cool experience. Our hut was isolated off in the trees, so it felt very secluded and peaceful, and we really loved the hammock. The food and drink options were good. Overall, one of our favourite hotels of the trip because it was different and a unique experience.

* It was a 'last minute' solo trip of high expectations - they have been meet in 99% .
1% missing for skipping few breakfasts ahead of several-hours long activities - overlooking timings of my breakfast VS my departure - accommodation places could have prepared take away breakfast.

* Quality level of the activities will depend on a random assignment of the available guide. I have had a luck to meet wonderful knowledgable Señor Wilson Rojas at San Cristóbal Island, who provided me with the knowledge for the whole trip in one go.

* Planning the trip conversation is very American-tourist oriented; you are flooded with overly merry and abundant in adjectives vocabulary, as if you haven't chosen the place yet and you need to be convinced (feels like advertising to sell) - unnecessary; you need to fish out from all the redundant content what actually is the essence that the place has to offer - bullet points KIKKIM Guys, no need to sell me, what I have chosen to buy already, lol.

* Reliable, fluid logistics, well-in-place communication and organisation (even though remote), all details, including most of petty expenses have been secured. Overall great experience with KIMKIM; and guides preparing my plan - Lucia and Dani - gracias!

When you book with Morocco Immersion Tours, you not only get the expertise of a highly professional tour company, but the warmth and genuine affection of what seems like old friends. From the moment we started contact with Sharon, she listened and tweaked the itinerary to make it exactly what me and my family (two teens) were looking for. Once the itinerary was finalized, we couldn’t wait to start our adventure!
And then we met Sallam, who was our driver and companion between destinations, and he ended up becoming like part of our family. From the moment he met us at the airport, his warm smile assured us that we were in good hands. He shared with us his background and Berber culture, and as we drove along the most scenic landscapes, he played for us the most beautiful Berber music. I loved the music so much that I actually downloaded it to my phone and listen to it at home.
We visited the beautiful blue city of Chefchaoen, walked through the bustling medinas of Fes and Marrakech, but I think the highlight of our trip was the Sahara Desert!! My family will never forget riding camels over the dunes at sunset, sleeping in a luxury desert camp, sand boarding at sunrise, and driving ATV vehicles over the orange sand dunes once more. Memories that will last a lifetime!
I truly want to thank everyone at Morocco Immersion Tours - Sharon, Sallam, Amnay, and everyone else who helped us make this the trip of a lifetime. I honestly feel that traveling helps make friendships across continents, and I will always love you guys. This is by far the best tour company that we have ever used, and I highly recommend them to all future travelers to Morocco!

To the KimKim Team and James at Tailormade:

I have lost my survey email somehow but I cannot pass up the opportunity to tell you what a fantastic job James and Susanna did at the Tailormade Andalusia Team!

The customized itinerary was amazing, the accommodations perfect, the attention to detail unsurpassed, and the personal interaction and touches so perfect (and appreciated!). The drivers and tour guides were fun, interesting, well informed, and compensated for our lack of Spanish language with their English skills! With your assistance we discovered the friendly, historic, proud culture of Spain. Everyone made us feel like royalty!

What a great way to explore Spain! Thank you to everyone for making our trip so special. We would not hesitate to call you all again!

Our trip to South Africa was fantastic. We spent some time in Cape Town, drove the garden route, then stayed at Lions Sands for the safari experience. There has not been any major issues and we were very happy with the entire trip. Lize was very responsive and remained very flexible as we planned our trip. She is a professional and I enjoyed working with her. Our guide in Cape town, Rehanna was an outstanding guide, going above and beyond to ensure we had a great trip. We firmly believe our trip was that much better due to her passion and knowledge about South Africa.

There were some minor things I wasn't too happy about. Again, these are not anything major but because I am a detailed person, it bothered me. One could argue I should've caught all these ahead of time but I suppose I trusted that there won't be any surprises since, well, that's why I am paying someone from the area to plan it.

When we arrived and met with our guide, she told us there was a marathon going on the day we were supposed to go to Cape Peninsula. Because of the road closures, we would not be able to go on the designated day. However, thankfully she worked it out and we were still able to visit Cape Peninsula on a different day and get other tours in. A marathon is a well-planned event that should've already been identified when planning our trip. Also, when Lize asked about visiting the winery area, I told her no because my husband and I do not drink. However, Rehanna had a different opinion and told us it was well-worth the visit despite the fact that we don't drink wine. We trusted her and we were glad we did! It was such a beautiful area and she was able to get us in for an Easter lunch at Delaire graff restaurant with an excellent view. We lucked out because she knew someone there so we were still able to get in despite not having a reservation.

There were also some minor confusion with the costs and specific details in the plan. There were few times I had to ask about what was laid out on the plan and Lize had to assure me. For example, she did not provide what time we were supposed to meet our guide in Cape town. When I asked, she said it was in another section(?) of the plan. However, I did not see that in the plan nor was able to access it on my phone. In addition, the plan had stated what meals were covered. However, all the meals were covered at Lions Sands but on the plan, it stated breakfast only.

When we picked up the rental car, I was surprised to find there was an additional cost we owe for dropping the car off in another city. When I asked, Lize did provide me the rental car document and it sure did say it was not included. Hence, it was my fault for not reading the fine print. But in some ways, I felt like this should have been identified up front, not me having to read the fine print. Our entire trip was about $17K (excluding international airfare) so it wasn't so much about the cost itself; it was the fact that I was surprised. In addition, I was not informed of the additional cost that we would've incurred if the rental car company picked up the car from the hotel vs us dropping it off. Our flight was early and we did not know how far it was from one another. Lize did inform me before that there may be a cost but never came back and said what the cost was. I "assumed" there wasn't any cost. Again, another minor surprise. We ended up dropping the car off on our own because it was a very small airport so it was just a walking distance.

Prior to the trip, I asked who I'd contact if there were issues. Lize provided her number but told me nothing should go wrong. I was glad to have her number because the only other method I was able to contact her was through the email/Kimkim conversation. Since I am sure she has other clients, it took little longer for her to respond while we were in Africa.

I also looked up some places to visit on the garden route since Lize recommended we spend 3 days in Knysna. However, we realized all the places we visited were either prior to Knysna or past Knysna. I am not so sure if that was a good recommendation. Furthermore, we had to find our own what places to stop by in that area as it was never recommended prior to the trip. Again, we had to learn it once we got there but in my mind, isn't that the reason why we would hire someone local so he or she can share with us what they recommend vs what we read on google?

In addition, we did not know we had to drive on the other side of the road and the steering wheel was also on the other side. Lize told us many do drive on their own and it's easy. Yes, we did not have any major issues other than the fact that my husband struggled a little since he is left handed and I drove some of the way (my husband is usually the one who drives). I think it would've been good to know that ahead of time.

There were some other minor things that did irritate me a little but perhaps due to managing my expectations. In some ways, I am not sure if it was worth paying that much money to plan the trip esp since I am used to planning our trips and we've been to over 40 countries. To be fair, there were things that I am not aware of which I am sure Lize was able to work it out.

Again, those things mentioned above is very detailed, minor things I found that can be improved. Overall, Lize was great and pleasant to work with and our trip was definitely once in a lifetime trip that we will never forget. Devils are in the details so it was a good lesson learned on my end as well - not to assume and manage my expectations.

Will we use Kimkim again? Probably. But next time, I'd be more hands on and go through the plan with a fine tooth comb so there won't be any surprises :)

We can’t stop thinking about our amazing 12 day adventure in Egypt. The five star treatment started before we left with clear timely communication and trip description and continued to our last day with the airport transport, a super professional team that planned and thought out every detail of our trip to make it effortless on our part and feel very well taken care of .
We loved Cairo of course the pyramids were amazing, but just as wonderful were the museums, Coptic Cairo and the sights and sounds of the bazaar were a highlight. Mira Wagdy our Egyptologist guide lead us through the city like a pro, she passed on so much knowledge and was an absolute pleasure.
Then we moved on to our Nile cruise again 5 star accommodation, the boat and crew were splendid. We spent our time with the kind, soft spoken, brilliant Aladdin Ghazaly, he was a joy to be with and again shared his over 20 years of Egyptian study with us.
We finished our trip with a few days relaxing in heavenly Sharm, again stunning accommodations and a day of diving the Red Sea that was arranged in minutes to perfection by our guide.
We were impressed and 100% satisfied with our epic adventure, we had never heard of kimkim travel and just went off the reviews we had read, they came through with flying colors. Next off to the Galapagos and we will be using kimkim
Thank you for making our travels hassle free and a trip of a lifetime

I strongly recommend using KimKim for your Jordan tour. We have just returned from a 10 day tour , tailored made to include all of our wishes. Nada , the local specialist assisted us through several changes of plans and rescheduled trips due to pandemic, also answered all of our concerns pre departure. Our driver/ guide was exceptional, Emad Fraihat was good company, extremely informative but more than that , he was kind and thoughtful and did everything possible to enhance our trip. I recommend all the places visited Amman, Jerash, of course Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba and finally the Dead Sea. Please give yourselves enough time at Petra, it is an amazing place.
No complaints regarding the accommodations en route. The food was good , we are not meat eaters but we could always find fish or veggie dishes. Wine was good too , when available.
Jordan is one of the most interesting and varied country to visit. With THE most hospitable and kindest people you will ever meet. Thank you to Nada and Emad for such a wonderful trip.

From the moment we filled out KimKim’s questionnaire to the moment we stepped off the plane to return home, every detail of our 14-day vacation to Italy was outstanding! Our local specialist, Jessica, did a fantastic job of organizing and selecting exactly what my husband and I needed to have an exceptional trip from start to finish. Our vacation included many of the more familiar "touristy" stops - Florence, Pisa, Naples, the Amalfi Coast, Palermo, Rome - as well as a singular off-the-beaten path excursion to my family's small ancestral village in the heart of Sicily!

We were a bit nervous about the fact that we didn’t speak Italian, but Jessica made everything so seamless and organized that it never posed a problem for us. She even gave us her contact number to be available to us 24/7 in case we had any questions or issues along the way. She always answered our questions immediately and was able to resolve any miscues on the spot!

Each of the guides Jessica selected for us was knowledgeable and personable, we especially enjoyed the walking tour of Palermo with Marilù, the tour of Pompeii with Ella, the boat trip to Capri with Francesca and Nello, and the wonderful tour of the Vatican (the day before Easter!) with Laura. Also, a special shoutout to ALL our drivers (too many to name) who were all so professional, always on time, and each one so willing to share their own expertise of the area and Italian culture.

We also thoroughly enjoyed the unique hotels and B&Bs that Jessica chose for us: the Hotel Conca Park in Sorrento with the breathtaking view of Vesuvius and Donna Camilla Savelli (a former 17-century monastery) in Rome were personal favorites with their local charm, fantastic locations and wonderful breakfasts!

On a side note, we travelled to Italy in April, which can normally be a rainy time of year, but we were fortunate that it only rained the first day and after that the weather was beautiful. Temps felt perfect in the 60-70s (Fahrenheit) most days, so we highly recommend this as a travel time over the summer months if possible. We hope to come back to Italy very soon to visit new places and return to some of our favorites, especially Sorrento (dinner at la Lanterna is a must!) and spend more time exploring the streets and museums of Florence and Rome.

Jessica definitely went above and beyond with her expert knowledge and detailed planning to make this a memorable once-in-a-lifetime experience. We sincerely appreciated how she was able to personalize the vacation to our specific needs every step of the way.

Grazie mille!

VOI Donna Camilla Savelli

Rome

Loved the unique charm and luxury of this former monastery! Service was outstanding, and all the staff we encountered were very welcoming. The only drawback for us was the temperature of the room. We were there in April, which is a fairly cool time of year in Rome, but the room still felt a bit too warm for comfort. We're from Texas btw, so we're definitely accustomed to heat! We were told by the management that the hotel doesn't turn on the a/c until summer, so we slept with the window open to try to get it cooler. The staff graciously brought us an oscillating fan that helped tremendously! We enjoyed the hotel's beautiful garden courtyard for drinks, and the hotel is just steps away from a hotspot of streets in Rome with numerous places to eat!

Guided Tour of Palermo

Palermo

My husband and I enjoyed a walking tour of Palermo with our guide, Marilù. Her knowledge of the city and history of Palermo and Sicily was extensive. We learned so much! She kept a perfect pace for us, keeping in mind my husband's mobility issues throughout. She even took us to visit one of the food markets in the city where were able to stop and sample some delicious local favorites for lunch!

Marilù's expertise of the area, and all things Sicilian, was so impressive!

Wow! Where to begin. I just got back from a 12-day trip to Italy with two other friends that was planned through kimkim. I discovered the site while looking at premade itineraries and decided to go ahead and plan a customized itinerary with a local specialist. I was then set up with Andrea, our local specialist through kimkim. He created the most perfect trip I could have ever asked for. Every request we had was answered, he went through extra effort to change things along the way so that we had the perfect itinerary ready to go. He was able to customize different types of tours (Small group vs private group), different classes of train travel, and various transportation options. Each thing he planned for us went so smoothly. Traveling internationally can be intimidating at times when trying to plan certain aspects; but with kimkim and Andrea, it was seamless. Not only was he incredibly responsive during the planning of the trip, but once we arrived, Andrea was always there to answer my questions and concerns through texting and calling. Anything that arose, such as wanting to book extra tours or booking covid tests to get back to America or confirming tour guides' names, Andrea was there to help in an incredibly timely manner. Some of our highlights were all of our guided tours of museums such as the Accademia Gallery, Uffizi Gallery, Vatican city, and our private wine tour through Tuscany. Each of our tour guides was incredibly kind and educated in their respective field of expertise. Our wine tour guide Fillipo was a Sommelier, our Rome city stroll guide Ferdinando was a Ph.D. in Archeology, and all of our art guides were masters or Ph.D.s in Art history. Each one was superb. I often saw many other tourists in large groups of 15+ with microphones and earpieces and they were booked at the same price as some of our tours. Without a doubt, our tours were more personal and better. I could go on for many more paragraphs about how great of a trip this was, how easy it was to book and create my perfect itinerary, and how helpful my local specialist Andrea was, but I will save your eyes! I was unfamiliar with kimkim before this trip, but because of their and Andreas' incredible work and help, I will be booking all my future trips with the company. Do not hesitate to book with them; you will be missing out if you don't!

Winery and Tuscany day including San Gimignano and Chianti wine

Italy

What an amazing day we had in Tuscany. Our day began with meeting our guide Filippo. We booked it as a small group trip (up to 8 people) but lucked out by being just the three of us and Filippo. He took us first to San Gimignano to have a short time to explore this incredible piece of history. Next, we traveled to two vineyards and were given amazing tours at each. The tasting, the private four-course lunch, and the tours were incredible. Not only were the guides at each vineyard kind and informed, but Fillipo always had more to add to make our experience better. He is a sommelier, training for his level 3 exam, and it showed. He knew so much about tasting and making wine and was able to impart great knowledge to each of us. It was an incredible day and I would highly recommend it.

Over all a very good time for us, the Whitewater rafting with Desafio was really well done and lots of fun the guides where top notch. We loved La Fortuna and really enjoyed staying at "Arenal Springs" a really amazing hotel/resort and the hanging bridges. Good times ziplining at Monteverde and the Poco a Poco.
Beaches, Monkeys and wildlife in Manual Antonio where a highlight of the trip.

In hindsight we would not have done the night walk with Terra Travel and I might have tried to schedule the last days differently so there was less driving. (maybe a day in Jaco or somthing)

But thanks for the good times and well orchestrated adventures.

In 40+ uears of global travel we have never used an agent before but now we are sold. Our flights, car rentals and transfers worked like clockwork and Oleksandra was efficient and responsive.

In particular Oleksandra saved the day when our return flight (booked by us) was cancelled at the last minute and our hotel was full. Oleksandra contacted our airline when we could not and gave us alternative options. She also got us a very nice hotel at a good price for our extra night.

Muchas gracias Oleksandra.

Design Suites Bariloche

San Carlos de Bariloche

very nice hotel on the shores of the lake close to town. I would have given 5 stars if our room had a better view. The indoor/outdoor pool was very nice but is probably due for renovation and the ladies bathroom in the pool area was not up to the standars of the rest of the facility. The restaurant was very good and we had 2 dinners at the hotel. The room design was beautiful but the internet connection was a bit sketchy, we shifted to various netwoks several times during our stay.

I would give this trip 10 out of 10 stars! This has been our favorite international trip that we have taken. We started planning in 2018 for a 2020 trip but unfortunately was pushed back due to covid. Our agent Harris has been fantastic to work with through our all of the hurdles. He was always responsive and organized the best tours, hotels and activities for us.

Our first two days were spent in Athens. The Acropolis and Ancient Athens Mythology Tour on our first day was a perfect way to learn about the city. Athens was unique - lots of graffiti, history and crazy driving! We walked the streets of Plaka and got to experience some local cuisine and shopping. Our hotel Home and Poetry was perfect for our large group of 8. The rooms were quaint and the owner made additional recommendations for us during our stay.

I was extremely glad Harris recommended we stop on the island of Naxos for three days. This was my favorite stop. The island was lovely and so were the people!. We stayed at the cutest hotel Villa Adriana and the owners were amazing! The hotel was super clean, the rooms were beautiful and the food every morning was delicious. The hotel is a family owned business and the owner was so sweet! We even invited him to join us for dinner and drinks one night. We absolutely loved the food and culture with Vioma Greece that Harris booked for us. Our guide, Katarina, took us to an olive press to taste the amazing olive products, the village of Apeiranthos to eat at @platanos_tavern_ apiranthos where we had the same food stop as Anthony Bourdain. It was amazing!

Our second day on Naxos was spent hiking Mount Zas eating their famous doughnuts at the top. We followed the hike with a recommended stop for Pizza! We watched the sunset a Apollo's door, went to a Greek Othodox church service and finished our trip with a morning spent at one of the top 10 beaches in the world! The people on this island were truly amazing and some of the friendliest people we have met during our travels.

Our final stop was Santorini. I've been dreaming about visiting Santorini since I can remember! This volcanic island didn't disappoint. We celebrated our first night in Santorni with dinner reservations recommended by Harris at Aroma Avlis, restaurant and winery 🤤 The food and wine was mouth watering and the service was on point!

Our second day was spent with touring different parts of Santorini and taking insta worthy photos on the Santorini Highlights Tour! The well known village of Ouia is just a beautiful as it looks in the pictures. It was very crowded (lots of cruise boats) but I definitely want to go back because I didn't feel like I got to experience all the village had to offer.

Our last full day was a a sunset catamaran cruise through the caldera. Fantastic views, hot springs, delicious food and great company! We could not have planned a better trip and our entire group is ready to get another trip on the books with Harris and the KimKim travel team. I highly recommend them using them for all of your travel needs!

When we started planning our trip to Peru we were overwhelmed by all the options we had and all the places we wanted to see. By working with Liz Karen she was able to pick the best of the best options for our family. Every detail was planned from the minute we arrived in Lima and included the most amazing tours and excursions including private tours of Lima, Cusco, Machu Pichu, and a rock climbing/ziplining adventure over the Sacred Valley in Peru. Our guides were knowledgable and friendly and there was not a detail missed. Liz even arranged for us to be Covid tested on the final day so we had a simple entry back into the United States. The amazement of the trip was matched with a resonable cost and excellent accomodations along the way. Our family had an amazing adventure and if you are smart you will book your next adventure with KimKim and let them plan every detail of your next adventure.

Emanuela was absolutely fantastic to work with on this trip. She helped plan a wonderful Iceland adventure and helped us keep our costs down while exploring all the beauty that Iceland has to offer. She made sure to include the 'must see' spots, while also taking us off the beaten path to explore in places like Varmaland. She was extremely communicative during the trip and helped answer all of our questions no matter how big or small. Would definitely use KimKim and work with Emanuela again! Snow mobiling is also definitely worth it :)

Our experience with Kimkim was beyond perfect. Communication was fast and efficient. We got the exact tour we wanted and all the accommodations and service were amazing. Our driver made us feel comfortable and safe and took good care of us. The local tour guides were knowledgeable and gave us great tours of the city. We highly recomment booking a tour with Kimkim. We will definitely check with them for our next trips.
