Kimkim Trip Reviews for Colombia

After randomly coming across Kim Kim, we decided to take a family trip to Cartagena Colombia with our children ages to six and 12. Margoth and her team did an incredible job of planning so many amazing wonderful immersive experiences with wonderful guides and just really knocked it out of the park. When we arrived at our hotel, we were greeted with delicious specialty nonalcoholic drinks, and when we got to our room, there were special toucan gifts for our kids (who are obsessed with Encanto), local chocolates that were gilded for my daughters, golden birthday, and a beautiful coffee table book of Columbia. Some of our favorite memories were a mangrove tour with a local fisherman, a cooking class with a local chef at an adorable French Colombian bistro, a bird, sanctuary tour, and spending time at our beautiful hotel. Each of my kids had an amazing time, and my husband and I even had a chance to do a literary tour with a guide who knew Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a author we studied in college. We loved seeing local artisans and bought some local oil paintings and watercolor paintings that now hang on our walls overall, it was a trip of a lifetime!

Hotel Review

Hotel Capellan de Getsemani

Cartagena de Indias

Or hotel was amazing! From the accommodations themselves to the staff and restaurant, it was a wonderful place relax after an adventurous day in the exploring the city. When we started to plan our trip, we were thinking about staying in the newer part of town, but I would absolutely recommend 100% staying in the old quarter of town. When we are able to return to Cartagena, we will absolutely stay at the same hotel!

Authenticity & Character

It was right in the middle of the old quarter, close to just about everything

Welcome to Colombia!

Colombia

Martín our guide met us just outside the airport with a sign and was friendly and warm and welcoming and my kids were so excited to have our own guide!

Suggested Lunch at Crepes & Waffles

Cartagena

We ended up eating here about four times! It had something for everyone, and my kids loved it.

Margarita was creative and interactive when designing a trip for me and my family. I found her responsive to my question, prior to my trip, and especially during my trip when I had questions I felt needed fast answers. She was pleasant, friendly, and amenable. I appreciated how flexible and johnny-on-the-spot she was when I decided to change plans at the last minute. I would highly recommend KimKim and Margarita

This was our first post pandemic holiday and we decided to use an international travel agent to personalize the itinerary. We planned a two week trip to Colombia in November 2022. After some research we chose Kim Kim based on their capabilities and references. Kim Kim put us in touch with a local specialist, Wendy, in Colombia and working with them we established a detailed itinerary for internal travel and visits. The whole project was wonderfully organized with private tours using local guides managed in Colombia via "The Colombian Trip", including, Bogota, Medellin,The Coffee Triangle, Cartagena and the Amazon. Thank you to our guides, Patricia, Mauricio, Jorge, Sergio and Andrea. Thanks to Wendy and all of you - we had a really great experience! Thank you Kim Kim for a great holiday!

From the start to the finish, Margoth, Felipe, and Juanita were nothing short of outstanding. As Margoth planned our trip, she took in our interests, timelines, budgets, and various requests, planning a perfect trip for what we wanted. Wherever we went, we had drivers to chauffer us safely from one activity to the next, along with talented and knowledgeable guides. The true benefit of having Margoth on our side was her team's flexibility and attentiveness while we were in Colombia. I was sick for most of the trip and needed to change our plans to allow me to rest and recover, and she swiftly rearranged our plans to allow me to do so, sending a care package with pedialytes, and checking in to make sure that things were going according to plan. We felt extremely well taken care of and had a terrific time, even with my illness. I would recommend Kimkim to absolutely anyone and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Our Amazonas guide, Claudio Gutierrez, was the absolute best guide. He showed us amazing wildlife, introduced us to fascinating people and was funny, knowledgeable, and a true pleasure to hang out with. He totally understood our travel vibe and added extra walks and activities beyond the itinerary. His passion for the Amazonas was so infectious we simply wanted to stay and explore more with him. We would go back just to visit Claudio as we count him now as a friend.

We had a great time on our family trip to Colombia. KimKim made everything so easy, from the minute we started looking til the time we boarded our flight back home. Andrea was so helpful and communicative, and very quick to respond both before and during the trip. Highly recommend their services!

Our trip to Colombia was incredible!!! Our itinerary included Medellin, Pereira and Cartagena. Right from the get go Margarita was attentive, available to answer my questions quickly and listened carefully to the needs I communicated for our trip. She crafted an amazing itinerary for my son (6 years old) and I , which ended up including all of the highlights I asked for plus some extra kid-friendly activities she took initiative to recommend (Explora Park in Medellin and Coconut Beard Pirate Game in Cartagena). My son has Autism and this was our first adventure abroad together so I wanted to ensure we had a solid plan and support while traveling. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or supportive team! Not only was the planning seamless (KimKim software is incredibly user friendly and centralizes every detail you need), but while we were traveling we could communicate directly with Margarita and our local guides via WhatsApp with any questions and concerns. This was a nice bonus for me traveling solo with my son, knowing I had others to depend on. I requested smaller boutique style hotels with more of a local feel for accommodation. Loved each one (Hotel Quinta Ladera, Hotel Sazagua, Hotel Casa Don Luis by Faranda). The pace of our trip was perfect, with a good balance of excursions and downtime, flights that were at reasonable hours (with seats in the front of the plane!), safe drivers, and dependable flexible guides. We had Manuela in Medellin, Guillermo in Pereira and Carlos in Cartagena, all of whom were incredible with my son always playful, attentive and patient. The level of attentiveness of this tour company is above and beyond. They check in with you, they are available when you need something and take the time to add personal touches. Like nothing I’ve ever experienced traveling in the past. Definitely amazing value and service for the price point. Will definitely use Kim Kim in the future and highly recommend it - so grateful!

This is my 4th time using KimKim and second time with the wonderful team in Colombia! Margoth, Felipe and their team, once again, made sure I had a remarkable time as a solo traveler in this beautiful country. I always say I shouldn’t have gone with Colombia for my first trip out of the country, because it’s going to be tough to live up to it!
This second time around was no different! I visited Cartagena, Medellin and Santa Marta this time. It was the best birthday of my life! I plan to keep visiting each year for my birthday, and I feel it’s only going to keep getting better!
If you haven’t made Colombia a stop on your list, you absolutely must!
Thanks again to Aracanto and the wonderful people of Colombia for welcoming me to your home with such warmth and gratitude.
Until we meet again, mi amor!

THANK YOU TO MICHAEL GOLD who was especially attentive to me and my trip mate as we planned our trip to Colombia. He booked a fabulous week for us.

While in Medellin: The hotel, the experiences, and the guides were perfect in every way. The hotel was basic but got the job done. BH El Poblado: friendly staff, great beds, hot water, terrific breakfast and views.
A BIG SHOUTOUT TO OUR GUIDE FROYLAN GARCES and DRIVER MARTIN CHALARCA as they were both quite knowledgeable in all areas of history, current events and where to get a great cup of coffee. They focused on our safety and comfort and really represented the heart and soul of Medellin.

While in Cartagena: The first hotel we stayed in was not a place that should be booked for future guests. Upon letting Michael Gold know about this he and his team immediately jumped to our aide. The sign of a great tour company is their availability to their guests and Michael and his team at Chaska took excellent care to make sure we were put somewhere else - Casa Lola. Terrific!

As a woman traveling alone to a remote part of Colombia I decided to use an agency. I have to tell you KimKim was excellent! Wendy made me feel more than confident and assured me if I needed anything she was just a text away….and she was. Any questions no matter now big or small were welcomed. When plans were delayed due to weather while I was in a remote part of the country she was attentive and made sure I was comfortable as could be during the situation. She absolutely treated me like family.
My guide Manuela in Medellin was a dream. She was so comfortable to be around she made me feel like we were old friends. The amount of knowledge she had about the city, culture and country was amazing. I wish I would have recorded so I could remember every word lol I cannot recommend her enough.
The park 10 hotel where I stayed while in the city was perfect for me. The location in Medellin was fantastic. The restaurant Lussac adjacent the hotel had a wonderful menu and having room service an option made for a great dining experience after a long day of sightseeing. The staff were friendly and their quality of service made it an easy decision to stay there again in the future.
I also went to Nuquí on the coast which was wet, wild a d wonderful. I stayed at LaBayka ecolodge. This is wet county with beautiful black sand beaches. I enjoyed birdwatching from my hammock, saw a sloth through binoculars in the common area, went whale watching and saw baby sea turtles make their way into the sea for the first time. This place was a dream. There was too much to see and soak in. For someone looking for an adventure this was a great place to see soo much beauty in one place. Just expect to be wet as rain and humidity are a part of life there.
The staff was kind and patient with my limited Spanish. They made sure I always was included in activities and checked in to make sure things were ok. The food was simple, clean and wonderful. With 70% of it being grown on the property itself.
So much still to see in Colombia. Manuela painted such a vivid picture in my mind of things yet to see I have to go back.
Thank you KimKim!!!

Our tour in Cartagena Aumerio was so passion on teaching ys all about the history in cartagena, we were able to learn so much from the city thanks to him. Rosario island was beautiful, the staff were so attending to our needs, food was delicious, we met so many great people. Our drivers were also on time. My family had an incredible time in Colombia.

Muchas gracias por todo !

Our Colombia trip was amazing! Wendy and her team went above and beyond to provide unique experiences for us from mountain biking to a natural mud volcano in Cartagena to running with locals in Bogota on Sundays when they close major streets. We visited locals houses within each city to really experience Colombian culture and food. The local guides allowed us to really get to know each city we visited. With limited public transportation in Colombia, the ease of the private car was super nice and convenient.

KimKim took the worry out of planning our trip to Colombia. Our local specialist, Wendy, was always accessible and did a wonderful job coordinating all of our city-to-city flights, ground transportation, and excursions (including local English speaking guides at each destination). My family visited Bogota for two days (visiting Museo del Oro, Museo Botero, Cerro de Monserrate, Catedral de Sal, and Andres Carne de Res Chia), Eje Cafetero for 3 days (visiting Cafe La Morelia coffee farm, Valle de Cocora horseback riding and hiking, Finlandia, Salento, and Panaca) and finally, Cartagena for 2 days (visiting Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas, Convent of Santa Cruz de la Popa, Getsemani, the walled city, Baru & Isla Rosario). It was a FABULOUS trip celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary -- and we will never forget it!

Our only two complaints were (1.) visiting the "Encanto House" in Finlandia --which was not a house at all & was very under-whelming!) and (2.) Our trip to Baru and The Rosario Islands which took far too long to get to (over 5 hours). We let our specialist, Wendy, know about these two complaints and she was very apologetic & did her best to rectify the problems.

We will definitely use KimKim again inthe future and recommend to family & friends!

Great Experience,
Best guides in Bogotà at the market (Alejandro?) and in tayrona, Aruen
Need experience Ely in bogota
All places remarkable except for Santa Marta, nothing really to see and remember
Also the trip to playa tranquilla was far from expectation, too far, too crowdy

Michael was very helpful with any small or big issue. He was available on whatsup within minutes and found a solution to every problem very effectively. We liked all guides but the most helpful and knowledgeable was Alex. We loved our trip and the only thing we wish was is to stay few more days in Colombia. We would also probably choose a different hotel in Cartagena.
