Kimkim Trip Reviews for Colombia

KimKim provided the drivers to meet me at the airports/hotels/preserves. All were on time. A couple of drivers could speak no English, (and I can speak no Spanish) so that made for interesting rides.

The major problem here was my cell service provider. After getting back home, I contacted them and, hopefully, this problem has been corrected. I had a translator app on my phone but it was useless when not connected to Wi-Fi.

I also had a couple of guides who were just awesome. They were knowledgeable of the areas, bird identification and willing to help/answer all questions. Could not have been a more pleasant interaction with them and their English was very good.

Destinations:
Paramuno Birding-Trail in Monserrate
La Minga Ecolodge
Tinamu Natural Reserve
El Dorado Nature Reserve

The birding at Paramuno Birding-Trail was absolutely amazing. After spending hours here, I’m hoping the other places are as good as this is. They were! It just kept getting better.

At La Minga Ecolodge, after two days here, I was convinced this is the best place for birding. Lina, (Host?) although could speak no English, was just great. (I had Wi-Fi here) The food/preparation was excellent.

The downside here is your shower water is lukewarm at best. They have one of those “Tankless Water Heaters.”

Tinamu
No English spoken here either and Wi-Fi saved the day. The birding is just amazing here and even better if you’re willing to hike.

Sandra, the host, fed us very well and the food/preparation was outstanding. Some of the best soup I’ve ever had.

They do have hot showers here. Definitely my favorite place.

El Dorado
Excellent birding here if you’re into hummingbirds. This is rugged country and not an easy place to get to from Santa Marta. The 4-wheel drive road is long and brutal.

Once in El Dorado, my room to the restaurant (the only two places I could get Wi-Fi) are far apart and all uphill. You either walk a steep trail or catch a ride on a three wheeled contraption provided that you called the restaurant ahead of time. So, a couple of times, I had to walk the trail.

This place also has HOT water.

Once again, the food/preparation was outstanding. I had hot chocolate at other locations but chocolate at this place was the best.

I could not give two locations the top spot so I would rank Tinamu 5 stars for birds AND personnel and El Dorado 4.75 stars for birds. Because of the remoteness of El Dorado, they did not have the personnel but what they did have, they were great also. (Fred, in the restaurant)

Conclusion
I could and will visit these places again but will also be looking for new places to explore.

I don’t know why hot water seems to be a luxury in some locations in Colombia, but each place tells you to use as little hot water as possible.

KimKim did an outstanding job putting an itinerary together for me and I would not hesitate to use their services again. Well done, KimKim, (Michael Gold) well done!

We went to Columbia in the first half of February and visited Bogota, Medellin, Tyrona National Park and Categena. The trip was organized by Michael from Kimkim. Michael did an outstanding job in planning and booking us with enjoyable and interesting tours. Michael was available and responsive via whatsapp for any questions regarding our Itinerary. Most of the tours were private, or small group where we had the same guides and drivers in each location. Columbia is a very diverse country with a rich, interesting and conflicted past and breathtaking scenery. Each place was a like a new vacation. We worked with Michael to customize some aspects of the trip to suit our interests(including bucket list paragliding adventure in the mountains above Medellin) Can't say enough about the guides we had, shout out to Maria, Ciello, and Wlson and the drivers who were always there to keep us on time(kudos to Emerson who also spoke great english and was a wealth of information). Our accommodations were all in strategic locations, clean and comfortable. There is much said in North America about the safety of Columbia, As seasoned travelers, we exercise caution where ever we go. We never felt any sort of danger in the areas we travelled in Columbia and other than a flip the bill taxi scam when we were on our own(recommended to use Uber) we found the people of Columbia warm and friendly. This was a fantastic vacation, thank you Michael, and KimKim

Michael Gold with KimKim organized a very personalized itinerary for us. He was always available on Whats App when we had questions. We experienced a nice variety of experiences in Columbia and had quick and easy transfers between the activities. We felt very safe and welcome in the country. The guides all spoke English and were knowledgeable and helpful at all times.

The hotel was advertised as 4 star but we felt it was more like a 3 star. The wifi didn't work unless we walked over to the restaurant. At one point we were locked in the room for over an hour because of old locks. The staff was kind and did their best and actually changed out the lock that same day and even provided us with a free dinner which was one of the best dinners we had on the whole trip. The restaurant was slow but the food was amazing.

Loved the Trip, the activities were really cool. the glamping in the coffee region was fantastic. Only drawback sometimes was commute to / from activities. Would like to waste less time in the car if possible.

Margoth and team designed a trip that was perfect for us. All internal flights, accommodations, transfers and tours were well organized. Our guides and drivers were friendly and knowledgeable and everything worked seamlessly. I would highly recommend the Kimkim team.

Overall we had a great time. A few bumps along the way. Three of us got sick on different days on Isla Baru so that slowed us down a bit. But we still managed to have a good time
Time in Cartagena was well planned and and tours were well appreciated. Tour guide Anna did a very good job. We enjoyed our time very much.

Our trip was wonderful our activities were great the people are so friendly and are eager to help in anyway they can.
I would recommend this trip again and again

I'm good at writing, but am unable to string together a list of superlatives to describe just how awesome KimKim, their Colombian representative Michael Gold, and the local guides/drivers were on our recent trip to Colombia.
Michael assembled the perfect trip to fit our priorities and time frame. He adapted to a one day weather travel delay we encountered in the United States - rebooking hotels, excursions, and flights.
The guides were friendly, accommodating, flexible, and well-informed. The "handoffs" with drivers were seamless.
I highly recommend KimKim without reservation.

Cristina was a wonderful planner!

She was a great communicator and handled all our questions and changes beautifully.

We really appreciated having the service available to us. It’s great to know you have someone you can reach out to for questions and help with planning. Makes the trips that much more relaxing.

Overall, our trip to Colombia was fabulous! The experience of working through Kim Kim and our local specialist was so easy. The teams were responsive, and they put together a custom vacation that appealed to all of our preferences. We're quirky in that we like both rugged outdoorsy experiences and high-end dining and hotel stays. This trip was the perfect marriage of the two. Our guides for the city tours spoke impeccable English and were highly knowledgeable of the culture and history of the region. The only item on the agenda that we probably would have skipped in retrospect was the Tango experience - food was lackluster and while the performance was nice, we left halfway through as it had been a long day.

Our driver was excellent. The drive times were poorly predicted - both much longer than it said on our itinerary.

Our family had an amazing time in Colombia. The four of us have some different interests, but Margarita was able to tailor the tours such that we all had a great time whilst learning about the country along with its history and culture. Margarita was very patient and attentive to our requests, and always responsive from the planning stage until the end of the trip. All the tour guides (Majo, Luis, Jessica, Sofia, Carolina) and drivers selected for us were very dedicated, passionate, kind, helpful and fun! They all definitely went above and beyond our expectations. A special shout out to Jessica, our guide in Medellin - despite running into a personal challenge, she put her focus to take care of us first and maintained a positive atmosphere. This trip definitely left us with nice memories, and we are deeply impressed by how Colombia has evolved from its troubled past into a thriving, beautiful, and enjoyable country.

Our trip to Colombia was amazing! I cannot say enough great stuff about our visit to Bogota with home dining with Maria Jose, fruit tour with Nicolas, Street Art tour with Deanna and playing Tejo, visit to the Salt Cathederal with Deanna as well. Our lodging at the Hyatt was also top notch. Food and hosptialy were great throughout trip. Transfers were safe, comfortable and wonderful. Visit to Cartagena with Gustavo as guide was also amazing. We loved our market and cooking experience with Dona Gloria and touring with Gustavo trying street food and exploring old town. Evening party for NYE at Bastion was superb. Spending the first day of the New Year in the Mud Baths was great and transfer to Baru by boat to Isla Encanto was great and our stay there was relaxing and perfect way tot end the vacations. We will surely be back and recommend to all who ask!

Out trip to Colombia was fantastic thanks to Michael and his team. The trip he planned was perfect for our family of 5 (3 kids under 9). The kids were engaged with the activities. Our days were filled with activity but not too booked. Our guides were especially awesome. In Bogota, Maria Jose and Nicholas introduced us to local cuisine and fruits we had never seen before. Deanna was so gracious to meet us at the airport and show us the city and the Salt Cathedral (very cool!). In Cartagena, Gustavo was a fantastic tour guide for our three days and really showed the city and took care of us. All the guides offered their personal contact information while we were there and made sure we were taken care of. We would highly recommend Michael and his team as well as any of our tour guides!

Columbia is just an amazing country and we are so glad we had the help in planning.
Most of our guides were FANTASTIC- so friendly, intelligent and interesting! We had one guide that was good, I have nothing bad to say but I do not think we needed a guide for the activity and truth be told, it was too touristy. I would not have selected Guatape but went with the suggestion anyway.
I did most of the other planning and KimKim did the rest (booking guides, drivers, internal airfare) but I could have really let KIMKIM select the hotels as they know the area better than I did.
We loved the hiking and the remote villages and of course the tour of the Stilt Village was awesome.
It was truly a carefree trip and while using KIMKIM is certainly more expensive than doing it on your own, it takes all of the stress and organization off your hands and to me, that is worth it to me!

For our first time visiting a country in South America, we decided to get advice and the service from Kimkim and Michael at Chaska Tours.
