Kimkim Trip Reviews for Portugal

Pedro took great care of us in Portugal. His attention to detail in every part of our trip meant we felt welcome and well looked after. Our local guides, Andre in Porto and Ricardo in Lisbon, both had excellent English and were interesting and fun.

Immerse Yourself in the Portuguese Culture by Experiencing a Fado Dinner

Lisbon

What a wonderful night of fabulous food and fado we had. This was an unexpected highlight of our Lisbon tour. Food and wine were excellent and the fado performance was outstanding, gave us goosebumps.

Quality of Experience

The fado singers were all different. Even the locals joined us to enjoy the music - a genuine, quality evening.

Carmen was an outstanding specialist! The activities she planned, hotels she booked, and recommendations she provided were terrific. We ended up having some complications during our trip that were entirely unrelated to Carmen's planning, and she went above and beyond to help us navigate a difficult situation.

I highly recommend Carmen and kimkim!

Overall this was a well planned trip!! What really stands out for me is how Joao was constantly in touch daily by text to keep us informed of the following days activities and helping us make last minute changes due to unforeseen weather issues!!

Planning this family retirement trip with three generations along with Joao was very user friendly. From gastronomic and boat tours in Porto, kayaking and wine tasting in the Douro valley, hiking with Nuno in Serra da Estrella, time on the Algarve on a private boat excursion to the beautiful arches of Lagos, and then Lisbon
And surrounding areas (Sintra and Obidos) was smooth and seem less. We loved having a private drivers who were courteous and helpful ( shout out to Miguel and Luis!). There were some last minute changes due to timing and one one strike that affected our plans to see Pena Palace, but Joao was on it proactively with fun alternatives. Our ages range from 11-64 and this was a great trip of active outdoor activities as well as some more relaxing sightseeing.
We highly recommend the services and planning of Joao at Across Portugal!

Exploring Porto's Rich History on an Exclusive Gastronomic Tour Through Time

Porto

This is the one experience in two weeks in Portugal that I would not recommend. We had a group of seven in the guide, walked very quickly in the front and spoke softly. We have done many food tours internationally, and got a lot more history and perspective on local culture, than were provided on this tour.. in addition, the restaurants we visited, were not the best representation of Portuguese gastronomy!

Two-Hour Private River Cruise in the Picturesque city of Porto

Porto

We did a short boat ride and then a three hour kayaking trip. The beautiful Douro Valley was fantastic to see this way. Our only reservation is that we were dropped off from the boat and sent on our way alone without any offer of additional water or expectation that the kayak trip would be three hours long. In addition, weather was coming in and we were caught in the rain and lightning, thankfully, as we were finishing up, but there was no provision for pick up in case of this kind of weather. In addition, we had no guide. While we loved seeing the Douro Valley this way, I think expectations should be set about the actual kayaking trip if someone chooses it.

Our driver, Miguel from Anthea was as usual fantastic. We had no guide on the actual kayak trip, and on the boat there was a poorly recorded audio guide.

Beautiful experience and our guide Nuno was fantastic. The hike, as well as his knowledge of history, geology, and botany really contributed so much to our experience. He also was very accommodating with some last-minute changes because of weather to ensure our safety. His provision of a light snack on the hike, as well as our picnic afterward with local winds, cheeses, and even jelly that his grandmother made was very special. He also provided us with several recommendations of activities that enhance our experience in this area.

Unveil the Fairytale Villa of Sintra with a Private Driver Service

Our driver, Luis, was great! We never saw Pena Palace as there was a government strike. Fortunately, our driver, noted that there was something wrong with the fact that the lines were short at the gate, where he dropped us off, and took the time to find out that there was in fact a strike, and we would not be able to get in. Joao, from Across Portugal, helped us with a last-minute change of plans to go elsewhere in the area. Also, our driver made excellent recommendations for a local lunch establishment on the way back to Lisbon.

Great experience with the KimKim team. Everything went off without a hitch. All of the accommodations were nice. The tours and tour guides were particularly fantastic. Rui, Ricardo and Joana were the best. Very satisfied with our entire trip and will happily book through KimKim again. No ten day tour would go off perfectly and there were a couple of hiccups that weren’t a big deal but I would likely change if I had to do things over: 1. We had a rental car while we were in Lisbon. I understand why it was arranged but it really wasn’t necessary while we were there. 2. The room that was booked for our first three days was nice but it was called a family suite on the hotel’s website. It was really just one room with a pull out couch. It was spacious and the room and hotel were nice but we would have preferred two rooms. It wasn’t really a big deal but if I was staying at this hotel again I would be sure there were two separate rooms. 3. Our second hotel had two rooms and was wonderful but there was no pull out couch in the separate room. Luckily the hotel brought in a roll away bed and our youngest could fit on the smallish love seat. Problem solved. I would consider these issues minor inconveniences. Overall the trip was something that our family will never forget. Thanks so much to Tiernan for all of his hard work and a special thanks to our tour guides who took great care of us. Also NuNu was the best at driving us and taking care of us while we were traveling.

My siblings (ages 52 & 54) and I (age 57) traveled to Lisbon and Porto, Portugal for our annual siblings trip from May 27 through June 4, 2023. Our wonderful guide Joao met us at the airport and stayed with us throughout the trip. Joao truly was a friend we have not yet met. He was friendly, punctual, conscientious, flexible, and informative. He had a plan in mind---as scheduled through Tiago, who by the way is very responsive to all communications before, during, and after our trip---during our tour but allowed us to pick and choose what we wanted to do and he modified the plan accordingly. We particularly liked the fact that Joao did not overwhelm us with information we would never retain. Have you had tours where you had to appear interested because the guide was gushing information like the water out of a firehose? Joao focused on the historical information we should take away from the trip and delivered it so that we can sip it, as if drinking wine. By the way, the food and wine here are incredible. We particularly enjoyed having coffees and multiple afternoon drinks with Joao at outside cafes to balance out the History Channel moments. He is well read and informed about Portugal and we all learned a great deal about Portugal's current state of affairs---the good, the bad, and . . . well there is no ugly in Portugal. We really enjoyed learning about the past and present about Portugal and highly recommend Joao for your trip. My sincere hope is to return to Porto---liked it better than Lisbon---when I turn 60 with my wife and see Joao again. Finally, Joao introduced us to the best football club in Portugal---Lisboa Benfica!

Helena is absolutely fabulous. The trip from beginning to end was perfect. The local guides and drivers were very professional and just a delight. I could not be happier. Thank ou.

It was amazing having Rita plan our Portuguese honeymoon! We truly enjoyed our trip and will definitely be using KimKim again for our future vacations. We were able to go wine & food tasting, visit historical sites, and meet with amazing tour guides. Rita is amazing and we look forward to her helping us plan our next trip!

We spent three weeks in Spain and Portugal, following the Jewels of itinerary with a few changes/additions. The cities and tour plans for each were great, we really came away with an appreciation for the countries. Marta did a great job lining up interesting tour guides and qualified drivers. As with any vacation, especially one of this length and diversity, you are going to have some issues. Marta was always available and very quick and capable of handling the necessary adjustments. We were able to relax and enjoy the experiences. Particularly enjoyed our time with Telma in Evora.

We consider ourselves lucky when thinking of our trip to Portugal (everything seemed to work out better than we hoped) - but, I know this experience was less to do with luck and more to do with the effort and planning invested in our trip by Rita and her team. We had amazing guides who were generous with their time, and deeply listened to what we liked and wanted to experience and were happy to accommodat our desires with their local knowledge to deliver an amazing experience which we could never have had without their input and guidance. Rita has been phenomenal throughout. Extremely responsive and accommodating. It was hugely reassuring having her to call on, during the trip.

We had a great trip to Portugal. My husband and I had decided to vacation there but when we tried to put an itinerary together ourselves it was nearly impossible. There is so much to see and do that we knew we needed help planning our trip. Using local expertise to create a fluid itinerary, get hotels in the best locations, and connect with us with along the way was wonderful and saved us a lot of time. Diogo was very accommodating, responded immediately to questions, and was in contact with us along our trip. The last day of our trip, Diogo was our day-long tour guide in Lisbon. It was great to meet him in person and to be able to thank him for all of his hard work!

Wonderful vacation! I wouldn’t change anything. Catarina planned the perfect girls trip for us. Excellent guides and very memorable. Rita in Lisbon was very knowledgeable in history and detail. Mario our driver and guild was so pleasant and knew how to get us everywhere on time. He kept us entertained about local places and customs.Sonia in Porto where we visited the wineries and valleys. Absolutely a must. She taught us customs and daily life for the Portuguese. How I envy them! Every detail of our trip made it one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend this company for a unforgettable experience.

Our group could not have been happier with our two week trip to Portugal and Sao Miguel Island! The hotels, transfers, and guides were all excellent. In Lisbon, our guide was Filipa for two days and she was very good. I would definitely recommend Palacio Ludovice Hotel as well - great location, rooms, and customer service. We loved the day trip to Sintra, Estoril and Cascais as well - another great guide and Nortada restaurant for lunch was a great recommendation. Evora was lovely but I would not necessarily recommend the Pousada de Evora, Convento dos Loios hotel. The rooms were generally sparse and they had very limited staff. However, Telma (our guide for two days) was outstanding and we loved the Olive Oil Estate tour and lunch - definitely a high point. Quinta Nova Winery House was in a spectacular location - but the trip up and down the mountain was nerve racking for those with fear of heights! Our dinner at their restaurant was delicious and the boat trip down the Douro River was wonderful. Would not recommended the picnic lunch at Quinda da Roeda Winery and it was a LONG, uphill walk from the dock (not 10 minutes - more like 30 minutes). Torel Palace in Porto was another high point - beautiful rooms and excellent service in a great location. The trip to Sao Miguel went as planned. However, we did not need the two rental cars. The hotel was only 10 minutes from the airport, so a taxi would have worked fine and we didn't use them the rest of the trip (I think we would have needed them if we stayed in the original hotel at the botanical gardens and probably should have rethought them after we moved to the waterfront). The Hotel Marina Atlantico was nothing fancy but nice with a great view and central location. We loved the Sunset Boat ride, the whale watching trip, and the Food and Wine Walk was wonderful. Natacha for Sete Ciudades and Furnas could not have been better - please recommend her for all of your clients; they will not be disappointed! All in all, we had a fantastic trip and were so happy with Marta and the Kimkim team as always. Thank you again! Karen Friedrich and Team!

Rita Chaves was so knowledgeable and professional. I learned so much. I felt she was a great friend after our wonderful time with her. All the drivers were great. Special shout to Leonardo. We had an eight layover and a lot of luggage -heavy also. At one am he helped is take the bags up the street and give flights of narrow streets.
The Fada was so special and memorable.
Sofia was so flexible and accommodating. Loved her fun personality.
Mario was a great driver and fabulous guide.
Catarina was so helpful so and thorough. And very very patient!!
There’s no way our fabulous time in Portugal could’ve been done without all of the wonderful people. Please forgive me for the names I can’t remember,
I am looking forward to my next trip!

Pedro made our first trip to Portugal beyond memorable. Working with him was very easy. He was responsive and his excellent communication continued through the entire trip. His choice of experiences were perfect for our group. Tours were well rounded in variety and all guides were fantastic. Our fado dinner at Mesa do Frades felt intimate, unique, and local. It was a stand out! As was a beautifully scenic tour to the Duoro Valley. Lunch and tasting at Quinta do Pacheco was another highlight. This was a well curated wonderful vacation! Thank you Pedro!

Pedro did an amazing job in planning and executing our vacation details. Everything was planned and carried out as expected. We did not have to worry about anything. The choice of hotels were wonderful. The guides for the walking tours in Lisbon, Porto and Evora were so well versed and full of information. We will recommend this company to all our friends

We really enjoyed the food, wine walking tour in Lisbon. Marta did a wonderful job.
We liked Caiscas and walking along the beach, in addition to a marvelous lunch at Nortada.
Our hotel, Palacio Ludivice Wine Experince Hotel, had a great location, attentive staff, and every night a different treat was left in the room, from candies, pastry, port, etc.
Great breakfast and very nice bar.

Our guide for the 2 tours we did in Evora, Telma was super. Very knowledgeable and gave us a wide variety of experiences, including visit to Cork Farm, Olive Oil tasting and lunch with the owner of Blinded by Love, wine tasting and visit to her family’s watermelon and melon farm.
Staying at the 15th Convent was unique, but the coffee was horrendous and breakfast was just average.

We enjoyed our cruise of the Douro river with Paulo and Barb.
The visit to Croft for a Port tasting was average. The picnic lunch, although with an abundance of food, was below average in quality.
We had a delicious dinner at Quinto Nova and enjoyed their pool. We were disappointed that coffee was not available early in the morning prior to excursions.

Our hotel in Porto was wonderful. Gift of champagne and fruit on arrival. Breakfast was excellent with numerous options and eggs to order. Our guide Michael was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the history and took us to a jam tasting in addition to our walking tour of the town. We enjoyed our antique car tour down by the river at the tour’s end.

Hotel Marina Atlantico Ponta Delgado
Very good location, had ocean view, accommodating staff, enjoyed the bar area. Rooms were average, they could use some refreshing, especially the availability of outlets that can accommodate chargers.
Our sunset cruise with Louis and Marco was wonderful. We saw not only a beautiful sunset but a large group of dolphins. Our host did supply wine, although we also brought our own.
The whale watch we did through Terra Azulejo was a highlight. We saw dolphins, numerous, and a sperm whale who we actually saw do a dive.
Our food and wine tour with the Hungry Whale was fabulous. The stop at the restaurant Tasca us a must when in Ponto Delgada.
We did 2 days of tours with Natacha covering the island from end to end. She thoughtfully set up lunches for us at places that had original Portuguese food. She was also very knowledgeable and able to flex our tour to meet our requests. She did a wonderful job.

All in all our trip was a wonderful experience. The people in Portugal and Azores were open and welcoming.
Thanks to Marta for doing such a wonderful job!

All the tours were in incredible and especially loved the intimate groups!
