Kimkim Trip Reviews

Jenny and the team made our bucket list trip a reality. I can’t say enough good things about the entire experience. Beforehand, Jenny was responsive to all my many questions, and patient with several trip iterations. During the trip, the itinerary was seamless. Everything was where she said, when she said, and so conveniently laid out. When one hotel didn’t have our reservation, we called the KimKim number and it was resolved in minutes. And best of all, the itinerary perfectly captured what we had asked for and what we had hoped for. Using Jenny and KimKim saved me hours and hours of planning, and gave us peace of mind in turbulent travel times. I’m so so happy we went with Jenny and KimKim, and I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Our trip was very last minute and Kimkim made it really easy to not miss out on any activities. Brittany was also so amazing, she was available at odd times and checked in on us when we needed her.

Sharon did an absolutely phenomenal job planning the itinerary out for us. Within 11 days, we were able to cover almost all of Morocco in exactly the way we wanted- a bit of adventure, relaxation, and a window into moroccos history, culture and architecture.
Our tour guide, Amnay was with us throughout the trip and he was fantastic- made us feel comfortable and never rushed.
Sharon’s business partner & better half met us in their hometown and we did a couple of great hikes, which has been a highlight of the trip.
While I think the entire trip was beautiful, I’d have to say our time isn’t he desert, Fez and Marrakesh were truly memorable. Thank you Sharon & Morocco immersions for this amazing holiday!

It was a fantastic trip! Eleni is very knowledgeable

And the The team on ground was very responsive ❤️❤️

Our Guides were great and they presented opportunities and activities that we wouldn't have gotten on to connect with on our own.

Our family of seven from the United States just returned from a trip to Greece. We visited Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini. Nadia was our travel specialist from kimkim and planned our entire trip, She suggested and arranged family excursions that were perfect for our family. The hotels were centrally located in each area and very nice. The local guides she arranged for our excursions were knowledgeable, fun, and spoke excellent English. Nadia was easy to communicate with by email and responded quickly. She provided information about each location and recommended places to visit and restaurants. We especially enjoyed hiking around the Caldera and the sunset Catamaran Sunset tour in Santorini. We would definitely use kimkim again to plan our vacations.

We couldn't be more pleased with the KimKim process. They set us up with Marta, a destination specialist for our planned location, Portugal. We gave Marta a general idea of where we wanted to go, for how long, and for what kind of budget. The next day, we had our first draft of an itinerary!! The KimKim app allowed us to comment on each hotel, each tour, etc., so we could pick away at it. In the end, and after only a few rounds, we had the perfect match! Marta stayed in touch with us up to trip time, and even on WhatsApp during the trip. We had a couple of areas where we needed help, including setting up a Covid test on exit, and she was right there to help every step of the way. 5 stars is not enough!! Thank you, Marta!

Had a tough time with this one. It was pouring rain in the morning, which didn't help, but regardless of the rain, the crowds and waiting lines at Sintra were ridiculous. We spent over 2 hours basically standing, moving 3-6 feet, standing again, etc. I would NOT recommend Sintra at all. On the contrary, I loved the rest of the tour. Cascais is an amazing place, and would have like to have spent much more time there. Lastly, the guide and bus driver were not aware that they needed to return us to our hotels, and basically left several travelers stranded, needing to Uber back to our hotels. Bad communication.

Our trip to France was over 2 years in the making due to COVID delays. The wait was totally worth it. Joel curated our trip to our exact specifications. We visited 3 regions - Normandy, Alsace and Provence. In each of these locations he chose the accommodations, tour company’s, organized rental cars, train tickets and most of our transfers. I was grateful for his expertise in planning what was reasonable and what was not. There is absolute value for dollar in the expertise Joel provided to us.

We could not have done this trip through Croatia and Slovenia without Nico or our local contact, Lucija! Lucija was very detailed in her directions, instructions, and was always very quick to respond if we needed assistance. Everything was pretty seamless and we had an amazing trip. The guides in each city were knowledgeable and personable. I would recommend Kimkim to everyone!

We had an absolutely amazing time traveling to The Netherlands and Belgium thanks to Bas from Beat the Dutch Travel who we met through kimkim.

Throughout the planning process, Bas was exceptionally helpful; he asked us good questions to get a sense of our interests, needs, budget etc. and always responded to our messages in a timely manner. Early in the process he provided a potential itinerary which was sufficiently detailed to give us a sense of what our trip might look like and then refined it after our review. In addition to activities that were booked for us, Bas, and his colleague Mieke, also provided us with a curated list of restaurants and sights we might like to consider during unplanned times. All tickets for transit and for sights were purchased for us, which took the stress out of our travel planning. Having a local specialist make suggestions with regard to sights to see meant that we were able to take in the "must-sees" as well as some that were less likely to be visited by tourists. The accommodations that we selected, based on Bas' recommendations were all unique and interesting and suited our needs well.

During our trip we had private tours booked in Amsterdam, Nijmegen and Antwerp which helped us to get an appreciation for each of these cities from the perspective of and with the expertise of a local guide. One particular highlight of our trip, one for which we are particularly grateful was the opportunity to meet Bas when he acted as our driver so that we could visit 'The Crossing Bridge', the Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery, and Vrijheidsmuseum (Freedom Museum), which would have been difficult for us to visit via public transport. In addition to meeting a very practical need in terms of transport, we deeply appreciated the opportunity to learn about life in The Netherlands through is eyes.

Both Bas and Mieke were very responsive to our questions and concerns both before we traveled and then while we were on the trip. We are very grateful to them for making our trip to The Netherlands and Belgium stress free and highly memorable. Thanks to them we can't wait to plan our next trip!

A week well spent and planned in Peru- starting from Lima, going to Cuzco, day trips, Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain- all day tours were great and memorable. Some days were quite long- this had to do with my limited time (1 week) but all in all the week went well and all excursions worked out and no delays anywhere. I would have liked to have a more extensive tour at MP and if would have known my tour was combined with a small group that just had 2 hours time.

All guides, excursions started prompt- hotel and airport pick-ups always very punctual- this is a great advantage of KimKim. Also having an operational manager available per whats-app is super.

I would definitely recommend the Rainbow Mountain tour- its a long day, but very worthwhile. And include the Amazonia in your trip- I stayed at the InkaTerra and that was such a lovely experience.

The itinerary is very helpful- you know day by day what to expect and there were no unexpected changes. Also all the flights were booked and with the LATAM app its very easy to check-in and board the plane.

All in all a great week.

In the middle of nature- amazing rooms, they have all the luxury you need and the location is fabulous. There is a lot of good detail such as the oil lamp in the bathroom at night, flashlight, hammocks in your room with great view, space for safe storage, great bed covered by mosquito net. The excursions were great and not rushed at all. Food was wonderful- buffet for breakfast as well as a menu for eggs, pancakes, lunch and dinner a la carte and wide variety of tasty options. Nice lounge area in the main building.

Yes- the hotel should instruct visitors more about keeping quiet and be aware that rooms are " open" and just be mindful and respectful to all guests and not scream.

From start to finish, KimKim was so attentive to our wishes and responded to all our inquiries in a prompt manner. We gave them
some of our ideas, and they filled in the days with places we did not know existed. We could not have been more pleased with their service. Their attention to the details of train schedules, passes, hotel reservations, etc took away a great deal of the stress of traveling in a foreign country with an unfamiliar language. They were also respectful of our budget. We would highly recommend this firm to anyone wanting to plan a stress-free getaway.

Our trip was amazing thanks to Eleni! She made all the accommodations and thought of everything ahead of time. She is a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend her! This is our second trip with kimkim and we will continue to use them for all our needs!

The trip was fantastic. The suggestions were very good. We started communicating last minute with very little time left before our departure to cape town.
We didn't figure out the Kruger Safari and we are glad that we connected with Lize and booked our Kruger Safari experience and the Shark cage diving day trip through her.

She is super helpful, knowledgable and our go to person for another trip to SA in future.
Thank you Lize once again, you are awesome!

This was my first time using KimKim or any travel booking service; we are generally very independent travelers and I usually book everything myself. But with very little time to plan this trip, I turned to KimKim for help with our trip to Jordan, and we could not be happier.
Nada was fantastic in walking me through the itinerary, providing options based on my preferences, and keeping in close communication.
The trip itself was seamless and we were very happy with all of our activities, guides, and accommodations. Our driver Akram was especially wonderful; he became a friend by the end of our five day trip.
I highly recommend KimKim for the busy independent traveler, and Nada for planning a fantastic trip to Jordan.

My husband and I can’t say enough wonderful things about our KimKim experience in the south of Spain. From the planning stages with James who helped us create a personalized, exciting adventure, to the moment we were picked up by our driver Pepe in Malaga our Kim Kim experience far exceeded our expectations! We loved all our guides; Paco in Granada, Julian in Malaga, Juan in Ronda, Carlos on our day trip from Ronda to Seville, and Ana in Seville. Our favourite tours were when we had meals with our guides, Julian, Carlos and Ana. It was such a fun and enriching experience for us to learn the history and wonders of southern Spain through the eyes of our local and very knowledgeable guides.

The one thing I did not like about this hotel was the cleanliness of the floor in the bathroom. It was noticeably dirty and when I wiped it with a white washcloth the cloth was black with dirt. I asked the front desk to clean the floor but don’t think they did as the floor remained dirty. For me this was a real turn off!

This was an amazing trip. Angela worked so hard to make sure my husband and I were able to see all the places I’ve dreamed of over the years.. we traveled with guide Dimitros and driver Nicolas for two days and with guide Vasilia and driver Panaiyotis for the other two days. All over Athens, Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi, Meteora—stunning. The guides were top notch, telling the stories of each place and answering every question we had. They were also delightful and fun to travel with.

And…Angela was fantastic!from the first email she was amazing. She actually put together four versions of this trip for us before we actually settled on the one we booked. It was perfect in every way. The hotels were fantastic and every single detail from pick up times to admission tickets to special activities were just perfect for us.

I loved working with Kimkim because I had complete control of my trip but did not need to worry about the logistics. I highly recommend it.

After being frustrated with the responsiveness and plan put together by a different travel agent (who we'd actually used before and liked), we turned to KimKim based on a family recommendation. Everything about our experience with KimKim was excellent.

* Within hours of the original request, Johanna had put together a custom itinerary for our 2 week trip to Peru.
* Johanna was prompt in responded to questions and changes, incorporating her ideas into our own seamlessly.
* During our trip, one of the cities we were supposed to visit had their airport close for an entire week. Johanna and her counterpart Kristy responded quickly to update our trip. Additionally, because the updated itinerary was cheaper, they quickly processed a refund for us.
* Also during the trip, I tested positive for Covid. Johanna called us directly and helped us understand our options in an honest but incredibly helpful manner.

Would recommend this service to anyone. Will use again.

This trip was brilliantly organised - Johanna was excellent with communication and helping us be flexible with our itinerary.

We thought the itinerary was the perfect balance of everything and really enjoyed our trip. The only thing we would have changed in hindsight is to spend one less night in the jungle and instead spend this visiting Cuzco city.

Thank you Johanna and team for a fabulous trip.
