Kimkim Trip Reviews for Argentina

Matias was very flexible and did a fantastic job of incorporating our feedback in order to arrive at the vacation plan that best fit our needs. He brought numerous alternatives for consideration based on our input.

We worked with kimkim and Matias to book our honeymoon to Argentina after work and wedding planning got too busy to tackle it ourselves. There was very limited time to plan and Matias was patient with us and accommodating to our various requests and edits, but there were also some mixups - for example, the first trip Matias planned was far more expensive than expected. We said that and worked out a different trip, which somehow came in at an even higher price point. At that point, I asked to see the price breakdown and from there was able to make decisions to get us to a budget we were more comfortable with. It was still higher than I hoped to spend, but we figured that was the price for waiting until the last minute.

Overall, the trip itself was great. Some really amazing experiences that I don't know we would've found ourselves include the tour to milongas with a professional tango instructor, the food tour of Palermo, and the wine tours in Mendoza. There is not a lot of English in Argentina and we don't speak much Spanish, so it was helpful to be paired with English speaking guides. It was also a relief to know our internal flights and hotels were taken care of, and all we had to do was show up!

This was our first time working with a travel agency and not the usual way we travel, so there were some bumps in the road, but overall we are very grateful to kimkim and Matias for making our honeymoon so memorable, and thank you Matias for sharing the best of Argentina with us! We hope for many trips back some day.

Every location we visited was memorable, Iguazu falls, Buenos Aires, Uruguay.
We will definitely come back to South America and use Kimkim again.

Kristy and KimKim were honestly the best in helping plan my honeymoon. I was limited in time for planning and Kristy really helped me to plan some great activities.

She also helped me to rearrange a few things last minute when our flights were delayed.

I really can't recommend using KimKim enough to help maximize your time in a place.

One of our highlights was a walking tour all day in Buenos Aires that really helped to acquaint us with the city. We also did an amazing wine tour in Valle de Uco that was excellent.

We were to meet the driver for this tour at a specific time in front of our hotel. We were there early. A van arrived and we asked the driver if this was the city tour.

A fun day rafting and trekking in the Andes. The trekking included rappelling which could be a lot of fun. However, the guides had trouble explaining the steps. When I observed from the bottom as others were beginning their descent it was clear that the instructor missed explaining a fundamental point that would have made it easier for everyone. The rafting was fun. A better explanation of what was required of us and what would be provided wold have been helpful. For instance, we did not know if wet suits were provided or what footwear we needed etc.

Johanna and Kristy have been awesome specialists helping us plan the trip and execute it.
They were prompt in replying on the portal before the trip and on WhatsApp during the trip.
We always felt we were in good hands.
Their advice was right on about the key things to see in the places we picked.
They were accomodative to the changes we made before the trip due to preferences, just before the trip due to airline schedule changes and during the trip due to weather issues.
Kristy also helped us get the flight changes we needed when Aerolineas was not being responsive.
She even helped us pick the restaurants that cater to our vegan preference.
Of the tour agents they picked for us, Piratour to Isla Martillo were the best.
Both Thomas the tour guide and the ladies at Haberton marine mammal museum were quite informative and awesome.
Sabrina was an excellent tour guide at Buenos Aires, very knowledgable, patient and took us to off-beat interesting spots in the San Telmo and La Boca neighborhoods
Visits on our own to the 3 places Kristy recommended were definitely worthwhile - Glaciarium at Calafate, Casa Botella and Tres Fronteras at Iguazu falls.
Word of caution to other vegans - Vegan restaurants are hard to find outside Buenos Aires - do your research ahead of time.
El Chalten has only 1 but it's awesome - Curcuma! Iguazu falls has only 1, and average at best, on the Argentina side.
There are more vegan choices on the Brazil side of Iguazu falls. The one recommended by our side, Gilderlei, Cantina de Bea was very good.
Another word to the wise: We wish our Spanish ability were better. While the tours were bilingual, we kept wondering if we were missing anything.
In the shops, restaurants and on the streets we found very few english speakers, even in the Buenos Aires Metropolis.
Google translate was quite inefficient at best and useless where there was no internet connection.

Kimkim did a fantastic job arranging our trip. We essentially circled Argentina which KimKim arranged. Our itinerary included Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Salta, Mendoza, Calafate, El Chalten and Ushuaia. All the guides and agents hired by Kimkim were exceptional, professional and accomodating. Thanks to our BA driver, Carlos who was always prompt and engaging. The following guides are highly recommended:
- Patricio, our BA bike guide, introduced us to mate and alfajores!!
- Roxanne in Iguazu,
- Juan Rios in Salta (House of Jasmines is a fantastic estancia - one of our favorites)
- Tessa (our wine guide) and Ricky (our whitewater rafting guide) in Mendoza
- Alejandro in El Chalten - He tracked us down to make sure we were getting taken care of!!
- Gabriel in Ushuaia for a very adventurous hike to Laguna Esmeraldo, our Rumbo Sur guide and driver to Tierra del Fuego National Park and of course, the guides and Penguins on Isla Martillo!
- Finally, our estancia tour, horseback ride and barbeque at the ranch in San Antonio de Areco. Wonderful way to end our trip!!

Francesca from KimKim gould not have done a better job. She has excellent knowledge of Argentina and the excursions we wanted to do. Also thanks to Kristy for her follow up and assistance. I would highly recommend KimKim especially Francesca.

We had an amazing trip in Argentina and Chile for our honeymoon thanks to Camila, who was great to work with and happily handled all of our annoying requests to totally change locations, activities, trip dates, and more. Everything went off without a hitch during the trip as well, including airport pickups, transfers between locations, and all of our guided activities. Camila even helped us arrange a pickup from a totally different airport at a different time when we decided at the last minute to change to an earlier flight to Buenos Aires. We will definitely be working with Camila for our next trip to Argentina!

I originally planned my Argentina trip for last year, when a Google search recommended Buenos Aires for a November vacation. Another Google search directed me to kimkim as I frankly didn’t know much where to go in Argentina. The trip was planned and then…life got in the way. My kimkim advisor at the time worked with kimkim, pushing out my final payment a week or so, until I had to finally make the decision to postpone the trip. I was pleased with how easily this was done.

Fast forward several months later – I reached back out and was connected with Matias. I made some tweaks to the original itinerary, finally settling on Buenos Aires, Iguazú Falls and the Salta area. I’m so happy I went with Matias’ suggestions – he fit so much into a very short time frame. I was travelling alone and requested a mix of private and group tours to help bring down the cost when available. Matias was usually quick to respond to my comments – even when I said it was no rush! In fact, Matias even let me know he would be traveling himself a few weeks before my own trip in case I had to reach him. I have no complaints about anything – I was met at each airport, my guides and drivers were all fantastic (special shout out to my Salta guide, who had to put up with me for several days :-)) They even took care of some of my dinner and tango show reservations. It was truly a worry free vacation! I’m not sure if the app is something all kimkim vendors use or it was just Matias’ group, but it was very helpful and I referred to it often. The app was also where all flight information was posted.

I will plan on using kimkim again for future trips around the world and highly recommend working with Matias when traveling around Argentina – you won’t be disappointed!

We spent a month in Argentina and 10 days we were on a kimkim tour.

Our tour started in Salta. Our itinerary said that our tour operator was Signature Tours, but in fact it was Altiplano Travel. This was the start of the errors with our kimkim tour.

We were picked up from our hotel for a tour to Salinas Grandes and Purmamarca. The tour leader only spoke Spanish and we triple checked that we were on the correct tour. We were assured that we were on his list. So, for about 2 hours we listened to Spanish, which we didn’t understand and missed all of the information about the area.

We took a 4 hour Salta city tour one day that was also all in Spanish, so we didn’t learn anything. We had a young man accompany us as an “interpreter”. He was a nice kid who was still in high school and knew conversational English and was totally lost with translating. Our Spanish guide spoke and we got a 1-2 word translation. Again we had no information. I’m not sure why they even put us on the tour!

We then went on a 12 hour Spanish speaking tour to Cafayate with our “translator” who wasn’t able to translate. This section of road has been described as an “epic once in a lifetime road trip”, which we were not able to learn about! Super frustrating!! Kimkim did not deliver the English speaking guides that were promised and by this omission, left us unable to learn about the places we had flown so far to see!

Our tour Hornocal (14 Colors Mountain) was great when we were provided with and English speaking guide. We stopped at little villages along the way and the guide helped us order a delicious meal. The mountain was amazing!

We next went to Iguazu to stay at the Mercure Iguazu Hotel. When we arrived at the hotel we were told that our hotel had not been prepaid. The confirmation number we had from kimkim meant nothing and we had to pay again. Thank goodness we were set up to be able to do that! We received an apology from kimim for their error and eventually received a refund on our card.

The tour of Iguazu was great with a very good guide. We walked the upper and middle trails and then went on an exciting boat ride to the falls. The next day we visited the Brazilian side.

Argentina was our third kimkim tour. Myanmar and Colombia tours were 5 star excellent, but this one missed the mark by a long way!! I was very disappointed with this trip!

It was so nice to have the freedom to do the activities we wanted to to but also have the security of knowing you were being looked after and the convenience of all the transfers at airports and hotels. All of our guides were helpful and informative. We did have one issue with a hotel and Julian and Ana did a great job of getting us re-situated in a new hotel within 2 hours! The next night we received a complimentary bottle of wine for our inconvenience.

Matías was simply amazing! From day one in the planning process to the continuing support while in country, to the ENTIRE team on the ground in Argentina! I wouldn’t, couldn’t recommend any other agency! Just over and above service for the entire experience…..

Kim Kim recommended the best of the best. My mom and I had an incredible experience, with the best service and everything went smooth. Thank you Kim Kim!

First thank you to Ana from Cordoba who made this trip for us. 👏👏👏

So many people to thank and names I might have missed. But I will start with my accommodations. Whether it’s a 5 star hotel or air bnb, I was given that served it purpose well for me. Aside from great hotels like Llao Llao in Bariloche, Alto Andino in Ushuaia and Senderos Hosteria in El Chalten are nice.

Valeria our tour guide for Iguazu falls was superb including our drivers. Nahuel made our Food tour in Buenos Aires extra educational and lots of new information.

Tour guide and driver for Buenos Aires city tour I will recommend to friends.

L Hotel Palermo, especially Julia and colleagues are extra accommodating with our needs. Like looking for a saloon and others.

Thank you so much ! Although I am still in my next 10 days in Brazil, I really am so happy and all my pictures sent to you will say it.

Ana was amazing in putting together our trip to Patagonia. She was prompt to respond and organized an amazing itinerary, exactly what I wanted. The guides were very knowledgeable, kind and responsive. I lost my phone, by contacting the urgent line I had it back by the next day. Will certainly book with them again for my next adventure

We had a wonderful time in Argentine. Ana and her team put together an itinerary that ensured that we saw the best that the country had to offer. From vibrant cities to high altitude Andean towns and villages, from glaciers & icebergs to verdant rainforest and the unforgettable Iguazu Falls, we were constantly stunned and amazed by the share scale, grandeur and beauty of Argentine.
On top of this, we quickly discovered how helpful and tourist friendly the Argentinian people are. Add good quality food and amazing wine to the mix and you can see how we fell in love with Argentina and her people.
Highlights for us included:
 El Calafate – being able to get so close to the glaciers and icebergs was breathtaking.
 Salta – a gem of a city surrounded by unbelievable natural beauty.
 Iguaza – simply stunning!
We would like to thank Ana, Clementina and everyone else who played a part in organising our trip. We don’t really want to single out any one individual as everyone was excellent!

We had a wonderful experience with Anahi, or “Ana,” our tour guide in Buenos Aires. She gave us an insider experience to north and south Buenos Aires, making sure we hit all of the main destinations as well. Recoleta Cemetery was also an amazing experience, not to be missed.

Miriam, our guide to the Pampas, was very friendly and informative. She made sure we had a chance to see a local metalsmithing workshop, which my husband and kids adored (my husband is a metalsmith and my kids love watching anyone make anything). The calm and nature experience of the estancia was incredibly special, with the horse riding and horse demonstration sure to be loved by all. Not to mention the delicious asada lunch!

Our tour guide in Iguazu, Laura, was incredible. She knew everything about everything, from the falls to the bird park. She made extra sure to schedule and plan according to our family’s needs and abilities. The falls are breathtaking, and it is totally worthwhile to experience from both sides.

I would not hesitate to recommend this trip!

This was an extremely enjoyable and well-organized trip. Our local guide, Federico Ramirez, was knowledgable, friendly, hospitable, professional. The two hotels we stayed at were extraordinary; beautiful, comfortable, with wonderful staff and great breakfasts. Also the itinerary was well-thought out and sensibly organized, giving us enough time to enjoy every stop and every highlight, of which the Salt Flats and the mountains of Hornacal were among our favorites.
Our one criticism is that the pick-up in which we traveled was too small for 4 guests: the three people in the back were cramped and uncomfortable.
Our Kim specialist, Agustina, was fantastic: responsive, thoughtful, friendly. Thank you!

My two boys and I had an incredible experience with our trip to Argentina and I would highly recommend anyone planning to visit Argentina to work with KimKim and Say Hueque. I found their local knowledge and planning to be top quality. I found KimKim by searching for "fun things to do in Argentina", and quickly became overwhelmed on what to do and the coordination of moving the three of us around the country during our two-week vacation which led me to reach out to them.

The first reply to my inquiry after putting out our dates and things we "had" to see was met with a friendly reply. A day later I had a couple of different itinerary options to choose from. We narrowed that down and then we selected hotels, again, from several recommended options.

The trip was booked and when we arrived, Julietta met us. She immediately took us to our driver and was full of information on our way to the hotel. Julietta helped us check-in and then gave me one of the most detailed maps of fun things to do in the city, with post-it-notes, that I have ever seen. Julietta is awesome and a wealth of information.

We had a trip to Calafate and unfortunately a storm passed Buenos Aires and shut everything down at the airport. The Say Hueque Client Services was in constant contact via WhatsApp and once the flight cancellation was confirmed, they arranged shuttles and new hotel stays for us until they were able to reschedule our excursions and accommodations in El Calafate. Without their services the experience would have been a nightmare.

I work in the tourism industry in Costa Rica and clients are quick to let folks know when things go wrong or don't meet expectations, so I want to give a five-star review for the seamless and professional travel experience we received. Booking the hotels and excursions with Mery, working with Felipe before and during our stay, Julietta (Buenos Aires) and Eduardo (Calafate) as guides were the best, I could have hoped for plus all the drivers for transfers really made this a memorable vacation for us.

If you want to have an amazing stay in Argentina, take the advice from the professionals who live there. Looking forward to going back again one day. -KC

Francesca planned a fantastic honeymoon for us in Argentina! She was also very helpful when booking domestic flights.
We traveled to Buenos Aries and stayed at a Krista boutique hotel. We explored the city with a private tour guide (Jessica) who was amazing and very knowledgeable about the history of Buenos Aries. While we were there we also saw an excellent Tango show.
From there we traveled to Bariloche and stayed at an older hotel Tirol with perfect views, great walking distance to downtown, and a great breakfast! We skied at Cerro Cathedral, which was very crowded and I would recommend getting the priority lift pass to not spend a lot of time in line. Our guide Nestor was great! He was very accommodating and easygoing!
Our next stop was Wine County, Our hotel Casa de Uco was fantastic and we wish we got to spend more time there. Our guide for the wine tours Tessa was great and very helpful when sending wine home.

ALL of our drivers/ guides from Signature Tour were amazing and we would not have gotten around Argentina without them!

We would use Kim Kim and Francesca again!
