The trip was amazing and just what I needed. I love the flexibility and the immediate response from the staff. Harris went above and beyond to ensure the trip was seamless and enjoyable. From having a driver waiting for me right when I got off the tour boat, suggesting yummy places to eat, to the hotel packing me breakfast for my early morning departure. The addition of local help from Evyenia was also excellent! I usually like the process of planning trips but I didn't have the time this go around to do so. They thought of everything and plan on using KimKim again for my next travels.

What a memorable trip. Valeria and Deborah pulled off a minor miracle in re-organizing almost our entire itinerary at the last minute (like the night before we were to leave the US). They salvaged what otherwise would have been a disaster for our family. Due to unforseen circumstances, dates, places, activities, tours, transportation, pretty much everything, had to be altered. What a relief and thrill it was for us to arrive at last in Rome to find new arrangements had been made.

Our local concierge Daniela was waiting for us at the airport and ushered to our air-conditioned, spacious, and comfortable van. Both she and our driver even helped with our bags. That set the tone for the rest of our incredibly well orchestrated trip. To a person, everyone involved from start to finish was professional, affable, knowledgeable, and eager to help. Can't remember every one's name but Lorenzo (The Colosseum and Forum), Vincenzo (got us to the train on time), Annaelise (Vatican City), Alyssa (Venice - unsure about spellings), Beatrice (Venice) and all of our drivers stand out.

From the first days in Venice, then to Florence, and down to Sorrento, and finishing in Rome. Just wow. Every city brought to it, it's own beauty and character. Team Kimkim did an absolutely awesome job in every facet. Through booking and scheduling our tours, and trains to recommendations, and having everything so perfectly timed out. Any questions we had were answered almost immediately. We had so many great tour guides from Marica on our tour in Florence, from Umberto in Pompeii, to Jess our chef in Rome( who taught us all the perfect pasta and Tiramisu), to Barbara who led us so professionally through The Vatican and Sistine Chapel. I will most assuredly use Kimkim for future travel. Cecilia was our main contact through out the planning process and she went above and beyond. She matched everything we requested perfectly. She was incredible. I look forward to our next adventure and I will no doubt look to Kim Kim first. Thanks so much. The Smith Family

We made adjustments to our itinerary several times, and she was there immediately to discuss our options and suggestions. We had many video conferencing calls...often past her workday hours due to the time difference. Once in Sicily, her colleague-Barbara was in contact with us several times a day, confirming transportation and the itinerary schedule. The transportation was first rate as well. There were always on time and very accommodating. My elderly father is not the most mobile, and our drivers made every attempt to get us as close as possible to our sites.

From, start to finish of my trip to Sicily in July 2023, the Kim Kim Team was there to service me all the way. (I did the trip as a solo person).
Ariana worked with me independently to determine what my interests were. She was then able to personalize the perfect trip to suit my needs. The trip was revised according to my interests and budget and confirmed for agreement before proceeding with final payment.
The first day, I was collected by a personal chauffeur who took me directly to my central and very comfortable accommodation. From then on, every part of my trip was taken care of, from tours to consideration of the importance of rest or personal time included.
The tours that were organized were well researched by the Kim Kim Team to provide personal and highly intelligent tour guides who gave so much information. I felt like I had been part of history during the tours.
The Kim Kim Team, (working within an App, which I had not used before), were continuously monitored by Barbara and Jessica. They were amazingly attentive ladies who only wanted me to enjoy my trip. They liaised with me and the tour guides and accommodated me extremely well to make sure I was at the correct meeting place at the right time. Reminders were sent out nightly to make sure all the arrangements were in place correctly.
The attention to detail by the Kim Kim Team was well above standard and I felt like I was never alone.
The extra touches of the private drivers were a great touch to allow the feeling of little stress and safety as a priority.
I would highly recommend Kim Kim Story Walking Tours, and their personalized experience of the place I chose to tour.
Thank you to Arianna, Barbara and Jessica, I was so grateful and happy with every detail they showed me.

On a previous trip, we had a great experience with kimkim, but our Italy trip was frustrating. Ariana was a high pressure sales person pushing us to book now or nothing will be available. I booked and then realized that we were being grossly overcharged for the trip. I complained and we received a partial refund.

On a previous trip, we had a great experience with kimkim, but our Italy trip was frustrating. Ariana was a high pressure sales person pushing us to book now or nothing will be available. I booked and then realized that we were being grossly overcharged for the trip. I complained and we received a partial refund. Even with the refund, the value of the trip was less than what I would have expected for what we paid.

In the planning process, I inquired about using points to book our hotel rooms and was told this would not be a problem and I booked our Sorrento hotel with points. I later inquired about doing the same for Naples and was told it would not be possible and they usually don’t allow this at all.

Our trip to Pompeii and Vesuvius was originally planned to be a small group boat tour with wine tasting and lunch included. 2-3 weeks after booking the trip, Arianna told us the boat trip was sold out. We were booked on a large tour buss, no lunch, no guide at Vesuvius. I would have never signed up for a large group tour.

While we had transfers booked to/from airport, train, ferry. Our tours did not include pickup/drop off at the hotel. This was a surprise and disappointment.

Rinuccini Relais Hotel

When we arrived at the exterior door for this hotel my heart sank. The rusty and graffiti covered entrance to the palazzo is not inviting and looks like the hotel should be a dump. Fortunately the hotel itself is charming, spacious, and clean.

Hi Sandra,
thank you for your review and I am sorry to read this. To answer your comments:

- Regarding the hotel points, we cannot access private credits for hotels as it is a matter of privacy and there are direct agreements between customers and hotel chains. We usually prefer locally managed boutique accommodations, also to give a 100% authentic experience;
- We are sorry for the Pompeii and Vesuvius tour, the description was detailed with the list of what was included. Also in this case we have sent compensation for the difference in experience previously included;
- Every service included was specified in the itinerary from the beginning, specifically whether the tours included pickup/drop off at the hotel;
- For the other tours, such as the Private Walking Tour of Naples, the Amalfi coast boat tour from Sorrento and the Naples Pizza Tour, I am pleased to know that they were appreciated;
- Concerning our fee, please also keep in mind that when booking through a full-service, you receive high-touch customer service that you would not expect when booking as individual services, or via online agencies like Expedia. This includes:
* Trip planning expertise and custom itinerary design
* 24x7 support throughout your journey should any issues arise, 2 emergency numbers
* Operational and logistical support throughout, including triple checking all arrangements prior to your arrival; any last-minute changes necessary due to flight delays, inclement weather, etc.
* An app to handle all details while traveling and to communicate with us 24H.
We believe our prices are fair based on this, and many of our travelers agree, leaving great reviews.

Have a great day and future travels!

It was 106 in Rome on the day we visited the Colosseum and walked another six or 7 miles around the city! And the rest of the week the temps stayed in the high 90’s but it didn’t stop us. The hotels, both in Rome and Naples, were amazing and so perfectly located. Each restaurant that he recommended was better than the last. Our guides were outstanding, especially Dario, our guide around the Vatican, and Mima who made Pompei come alive. Can’t say enough about how wonderful the total experience was!

Hotel Reviews
Eitch Borromini Palazzo Pamphilj

Aside from being in the perfect location – right on the Piazza Navona – the hotel was amazing. The rooms were beautiful and big, and very beautifully furnished, and the view from our windows looked right down onto the Piazza and the obelisk and fountains. The staff were very accommodating, the breakfast buffet was delicious and the views from the rooftop bar and restaurant or spectacular. We would recommend this hotel highly.

There was a bit of confusion initially, as we had reserved three identical rooms close to each other. One of the rooms was not the same as the other two, and not as nicely appointed, and they were all on different floors but they all had beautiful sea views, however. And the location was just perfect, right on the Seaport, and close to lots of restaurants and bars.

The best things about using Arianna to organise our trip was
1. The location of the accomodation. All accomodation was booked in the best possible location for the area and our planned activities.
2. The ability to select guides for one on one tours. With countless tour guides over our 3 week trip we only experienced one guide that was disappointing over the entire period.
3. All transfers were arranged. They were all in quality comfortable cars and the drivers were professional, courteous and always on time or early. It made moving from location to location far less stressful.

Deborah planned a perfect trip for my sister and I to visit Italy together. We requested a more laid-back itinerary without visits to the usual sights because we had been there previously, and Deborah did an excellent job of planning alternative options like wine tastings, tours by boat, and opportunities to enjoy each place we visited. We visited Lake Como with a private tour of several locations on the lake, as well as Florence where we took a variety of day trips into surrounding Tuscany (including Siena, and San Gimignano, and Cince Terre). We also planned to attend a concert in Milan, and Deborah was able to incorporate our plans into her itinerary as well. Something really helpful was that she established "chaperones" in each city that met us at the airport, train station, or at our hotels to receive us when traveling from another city and help make sure we were settled. Deborah was thoughtful, friendly, and efficient with our trip plan, and even went so far as to book us a new tour when one of ours was canceled at the last minute while we were en route to Italy. We received a message when we arrived at the airport that she had booked us a new tour so that we didn't even have to worry about it which was amazing. We felt she took great care in making sure we were pleased with our trip before, during, and after. Thank you Deborah for a memorable trip!
