Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Historically, my wife and I have always researched, planned and managed international trips, thinking this option gave us more flexibility and control over our vacation schedule and activities. Thus, we were skeptical contacting KimKim, but we are 100% glad we did. Absolutely everything about the trip was perfect: the accommodations, the excursions, the travel arrangements and the service. Everything! Afroditi was attentive and responsive to all our crazy questions in advance of traveling to Greece and was available to us, when needed, while we were there. She knows travel and she knows how to treat customers very well. I would recommend Afroditi to anyone seeking expert travel planning. She crafts very memorable trips based on customer input and feedback and her knowledge of an area. My wife and I are very grateful to Afroditi and KimKim for making our 40th-anniversary trip to Greece an incredible adventure.

Rebecca and the Grecianlux team did a phenomenal job with planning our honeymoon trip to Greece (Athens, Paros, Milos, and Santorini)! She made the process easy from start to finish, with excellent communication throughout. Our most memorable experiences were the private tours with local guides and our sailing adventure near Milos… and on top of that, our hotels were absolutely beautiful. We fell in love with Greece, and I would definitely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a travel specialist there!

Antonis did a great job planning our trip to Greece. He listened to our feedback and catered the trip specifically to our needs. The hotels were clean and well located and the activities were perfect for our adventurous and active lifestyles! A few of the activities that we appreciated most were the “Magnificent Athens” tour (Zakia K. our guide was knowledgeable and full of passion as we toured the Parthenon, acropolis and other sites), the Naxos bike ride (Nikos was a great guide and we loved that the bike shop was family owned and we got tons of exercise), the Fira to Oira hike on Santorini (Agatha was our guide and her passion and energy was inspiring, and the hike kept us challenged), and finally the Samaria Gorge hike. We loved the hike and were so glad to have someone pick us up and ensure we were in the right places at the right time. We probably didn’t need a guide throughout the hike, but Georgios was great nonetheless. Lots of challenge and beautiful views with this last hike and that’s exactly what we wanted. We enjoyed the winery visit in Heraklion so much! The driver wasn’t really sure what to do with us with an early pick up and the winery wasn’t quite sure what package we received, but with some chatting everything was figured out and it was a great day!

Finally, we most appreciated how prompt and easy the transfers were between airports, ferries and hotels. Wonderfully arranged and took the thinking out of it for us.

We can’t thank KimmKimm enough and especially Antonis for their help!

Amazing hike! We love a challenge and this hit the mark. Rocky with a steep, steep decline but the views made it all worthwhile. It was also awesome to end in the village and enjoy lunch and the beach. It was a very long day though and we weren’t aware ahead of time that we would have a long ferry and drive home. Plan for a full day. So glad we did it! We also were prepared with serious hiking shoes which was helpful.

I was nervous about using an online travel company, but Chris made it easy. After initially filling out an online profile, Chris worked with me to plan a 10 day trip in Greece for my husband and me and our 2 adult children and their spouses. He had great suggestions, tailored to our interests. We wanted to get off the beaten path and spent several days on a self-drive through some great coastal towns in the Peloponnese area. Chris took care of every detail - airport transfers, flight to Santorini, hotel accommodations, tours of historical sites, a winery tour with lunch, and a catamaran cruise. We enjoyed personalized tours and the guides were all so knowledgeable and fun. The small boutique hotels Chris suggested for us were all unique and just what we wanted. We were happy to get to meet Chris after we arrived in Athens, and he checked in with us every few days to make sure everything was going smoothly. His communication throughout the planning process and trip was terrific.

My husband and I originally spoke to Chris when we were planning our honeymoon around 3 years ago, and he had arranged the most incredible trip to Greece full of island hopping and wine/food/cultural tours that we were so excited for! Unfortunately the pandemic stopped us from visiting Greece as we originally planned.

When we were finally ready to travel again, our circumstances had changed as we had a toddler and another baby on the way! Not only did Chris adapt our trip to make it child and bump friendly, he also somehow managed to retain the honeymoon glamour we always wanted. We visited Athens, Naxos and Santorini and had a cultural tour guide arranged in each place (all of which were fantastic!).

If anyone is looking to go to Greece anytime soon, please please use Chris - you will not regret it!

Thanks

We had a wonderful experience using KimKim to book our trip to Greece. Thanos our specialist gave us the best recommendations for hotels and tours. He made sure everything went smoothly for us every step of the way. He was very responsive and helpful in every way. We were very happy with our hotels, tours and transportation to Athens, Naxos and Santorini. We had a delay with our Ferry from Naxos to Santorini due to windy conditions. Thanos made sure we made it to our destination and gave us guidance on how to resolve.

My wife and I just spent our honeymoon in the Greek Islands and it was as close to perfect as it could have been.

Our experience with kimkim was extremely positive and stress free. Our local specialist, Antonis, could not have been more amazing. From the very beginning of the planning process, he was flexible with our requests and changes, never pressured us to agree to anything we didn't want, and was all-around professional and highly competent.

In the months leading up to our trip, he was highly responsive to our questions and provided us everything we needed in a timely manner.

But even better than the pre-trip assistance, was his assistance while we traveled to Greece and while we were there. We encountered several delays between airline and water ferry issues, but Antonis was there to guide us and check on things and give us valuable information usually within minutes. He didn't leave us on our own once the trip was planned, he was there through all the hiccups and snags along the way.

While in country, Antonis REALLY set us up with a great experience. He set up all the transportation to and from the airport, the water ports, and to our excursions. The drivers were always on time, pleasant, and had very nice and reliable vehicles (Mercedes every time!) which made us feel comfortable and made the trip enjoyable. The two catamaran trips we took went flawless and were an incredible experience. The staff were professional, pleasant, and really took first-class care of us. Again, Antonis set us up with the best of the best.

The accommodations were also outstanding. Ada from Modernity Suites in Santorini was beyond amazing. She was super helpful with our check in even though we arrived late due to a flight delay. She was always on site and more than willing to help with anything we needed. She recommended a laundry when all our clothes were soaked from being left in the rain on the airport tarmac. She recommended places to visit while in Santorini and even made travel arrangements for us to the beach and back. Her staff made us an incredible breakfast every morning (made to order) and it was delivered to us on time, warm, and delicious.

Antonis also hooked us up in Naxos with a BEAUTIFUL room at the Santana Luxury Suites. The room was exquisite and the ocean front view was something off a post card.

Finally, the hotel in Athens was also gorgeous. Located in downtown Athens in the middle of everything (dining, historic sites, etc), the Elia Ermou Athens Hotel was a great bookend to an amazing trip.

Thank you Antonis, Ada, Sunset Oia, and Naxos Catamaran for an unforgettable honeymoon in Greece!

It doesn't do it justice, writing this review, I certainly stand by KimKim and believe you should experience it firsthand. Also, the price was phenomenal and so was the transparency of the planning, and agency.

Chris, thanks for giving us such a wonderful journey and we'll be in touch soon!

Wow. Elena (from Olympia Insiders) was our guide and there's not enough room to write why she made this so meaningful and great for us. Her passion, education and personality made it magical to understand the depth of discovery, wonder and history for the birthplace of Olympic games and Grecian art, sculptures, practices. This, along with Delphim, were the two most enthralling of the ancient tours. There was so much to see and witness in every direction and the museums are world-class.

The entire process working with Chris was extremely streamlined and easy. He really listened to our wants and desires and tailored our vacation to what our preferences were. We knew we wanted to spend one week in Italy and one week in Greece for our engagement, but didn’t really know specifically where in those countries we wanted to vacation. Chris, who is from Greece, suggested the amazing island of Naxos, something we never would have considered without his guidance! Our tours and excursions were amazing, and we really appreciated the attention to detail from the time of the tours to the private transfers, which were extremely convenient. We also really appreciated the locations of the accommodations that were just outside of the main, noisy, areas, but close enough for us to walk into town. We can’t imagine doing another large vacation without KimKim.

Ioannis was really helpful and patient with us as we keep changing our minds and contact him so often. So grateful for his patience and professionalism. Thanks a million, you really made a difference in making this honeymoon trip go smooth. Sharaf and Salwa

My husband did a lot of research online to find a travel agent for our trip to Greece. He found a local agent named Dimitrios with Kimkim. I was nervous at first to use someone abroad, but Dimitrios did an amazing job communicating with us through the website as well as via phone with very helpful ideas to help us plan our dream trip. Once we figured out exactly what we wanted to do, he took care of every last little detail to make all of the arrangements. When it got close to our trip date, he introduced us to his team (Antonis & Effie) that would help us with the day to day of our trip. Not only did they communicate with us each day with the details of our following day plans, they were quick to respond to our questions no matter the time day or night. I would highly recommend this team as they were extremely professional and practiced endless patience to our many questions.

We loved our local guides! Gina in Athens, L in Santorini and V in Paris were all excellent. We really enjoyed learning about the local culture. The tour in Paros went a little long- 8 hours.

Schedule wise, wish we had an extra day in Santorini to enjoy our pool at the hotel. I think an extra day there with splitting up the e-bike and catamaran tours so we could relax one more day there would have been nice. We were disappointed that once we were finally able to relax and wind down in Paros that our hotel didn’t have a pool. We did find the beach-Monisteri based on our guides recomendation and that was very nice. We also really enjoyed the wine tour in Santorini and worked in another wine tour in Paros at Moraitis that was excellent!

I would say that in 7 days of planning we had an excellent introduction to culture and life in Greece. We loved it and will come again!

This was our first experience with kimkim. We started with some hesitation. However with Angela's help, we had an amazing experience from the beginning to the end.

During planning, Angela was responsive and patient. She listened to our needs, made recommendations and was also flexible responding to our further questions. Once the trip was coming to a shape, Angela made sure we had all the details, checked in with us and remained in touch throughout. She even helped to call the domestic airline sort out the domestic flights we booked ourselves. Right before the trip, Angela made sure we had her contact information.

As soon as we landed in Greece, Angela reached out to check on us which definitely exceeded the expectation. The tours book were exactly as described. All drivers and tour guides were extremely professional. They were on time, patient with us, attended series of questions we had, walked with us everywhere and entertained us with all kinds of stories. We had tour guides who studied history and archaeology, retired university professor. Their extensive knowledge made our vacation special.

Throughout the vacation, Anglea constantly checked on us, made sure we were okay and had no concerns or questions. On the last day, she did not forget to wish us a safe trip back. Even though we never met, we felt we have known Angela for a long time. We had a once in a lifetime vacation and highly recommend Angela and her team!

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our Greece trip planned by Dimitrios. In all three locations (Athens, Santorini, Mykonos), the location of the accomodations selected was fantastic, and we particularly enjoyed our stay at the Lilium hotel in Santorini with its great views. The staff at all three hotels we stayed at were extremely helpful an accomodative, and the breakfast provided at all three locations was delicious. I really appreciated Dimitrios and the rest of the kimkim team for their prompt responses to my questions and for helping tailor an itinerary that was best suited to our travel preferences. The local team coordinating our trip from Be A Greek during our stay was lovely- very communicative and punctual for all tours and rides arranged, including airport transfers. We had a fantatsic time with each one of the guides who took us on private walking tours of the towns and appreciated their flexibility in aligning the tours with our interests and their engaging and warm personalities. We came away with a very postive take on kimkim's coordination and would definitely consider booking another vacation with them in the future.

This was the only small downside to our experience. The staff was wonderfully attentive and hospitable, and we really enjoyed the amazing food at the resort restaurant.

I don’t have words for how phenomenal this trip was.
I was beyond impressed by the communication by our travel specialists. The hotel choices? The airport and travel transports? Could not have been better communicated, kind and more professional. The guides personable, funny and endearing. If you are wondering if Kim Kim is a good bet?
The answer is DO IT.
I am recommending to family and friends and will use them over and over again for trip planning. They took the stress out of the detailed planning of drivers and transportation and gave incredible local knowledge and recommendations that made our trip 1000% better than it could have been. Incredibly impressed and grateful for their help, planning and kindnesses such as having a bottle of wine sitting in the refrigerator in our villa on my birthday!
Thank you to Irene and her team.
I will come back to Kim Kim over and over again.

Thanks to Nikos, my family and I had a fantastic trip to Greece. We did, saw, and learned so much in our short time in Greece that we never would have been able to do without his guidance. By finding hotels with the best breakfasts, recommending excellent restaurants, and suggesting unique excursions he made sure we had the best experience possible. Nikos was very responsive throughout the entire planning phase as well as throughout the trip to ensure everything was in accordance with our expectations and ran smoothly. While we were in Santorini, we encountered a conflict with our boat cruise. Nikos immediately made phone calls and proposed an alternative plan that ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. He is very passionate about providing the best service possible.

Amalia was so great to work with. She shared expert advice, always replied quickly, made adjustments to our plans as we requested and helped make contingency plans when half of our group encountered flight issues. I will continue to recommend her to everyone traveling to Greece. We were a group of 8 and all accommodations and activities were planned & executed seamlessly! This was the trip of a lifetime ☺️
