Kimkim Trip Reviews for Portugal

We had an excellent trip to Lisbon, Coimbra, and Porto. Carmen was very helpful, professional, and easy to communicate with. If you prefer not dealing with trip planning, feel more comfortable having someone taking care of connections and logistical details, or need someone to coordinate with multiple parties, Carmen and her team will do a great job in both putting together your trip and supporting you while traveling.

Our recent trip to Portugal was amazing and exceeded our expectations! The trip started in Porto, and our hotel was nice, our city/culinary tour with Angela was great! We enjoyed the market, oldest restaurant in Porto, and all the food and knowledge that Angela shared with us. Emanuel was a great follow up and shared his perspective of the city , allowing us to explore on our own afterwards. Wilson and the Douro Valley tour was a true highlight with lunch at Maos vineyard. We can hardly wait for our wine to be shipped!
Marina really listened to what we wanted and the Portugal Boutique Hotel was a pleasure to stay in. Tony took us to Fatima on the way which we really appreciated. While in Lisbon, we had a great tour of the city, explored on our own, and were taken by Marta to the castle, stopped to look at cork trees, and finished the day at a roadside restaurant for a delicious lunch. With Marta, we felt as if we were with a friend showing us her country.
Final trip to Lagos in our rental was without incident, and we marveled at the landscape. Our final hotel was just gorgeous and we could not have been happier! Food, wine, and catamaran trip just highlighted the beautiful country of Portugal.
Final review? This trip was absolutely beyond our expectations on all levels! It checked all the boxes for us and we were sad to leave! Thank you to Marina for making it happen for us!

KimKim and Across Portugal were wonderful to deal with! We went to Portugal with our kids and their grandparents and everything was very organized, timely, and efficient. Everyone enjoyed the tours that were arranged too. Across Portugal was affiliated with KimKim and had an assistance service line available so if you had any questions or needed details from the itinerary they were readily available! Joao was awesome and always available!

We had a walking tour in Lisbon and Elsa our guide was fantastic and told us some hidden gems about the city. The following day we went to Sintra with the arranged transportation and saw Peña Palace. Our tickets were pre purchased already so everything was hassle free! The parents wanted a date night so we had a cooking class arranged and we enjoyed making traditional dishes of Portugal and eating their infamous pastel de natas. The next day we headed to Algarve at Cascade resort and relaxed and saw some beautiful views. The grandparents were interested in a bike tour and explored Lagos with their wonderful guide from Volta do Mar. As well, the kids were interested in a boat ride so we enjoyed a beautiful boat tour through the grottoes.

If you are planning to go to Portugal we highly recommend using KimKim and Across Portugal — airport transportation, tours, and hotel rooms were all arranged based on preference and made travel planning seamless!

Diogo did a great job planning our trip. We had a wonderful itinerary that took in city and country visits. Joao was an amazing tour guide in Lisbon. He was so knowledgeable about the places and history. He was patient and let us explore at our own pace. The sunset sailboat ride was a perfect evening. The restaurant with Dado music was such an unexpected experience that we all enjoyed. All of the hotels we stayed at were nice, clean and had fabulous breakfasts included. The wine tasting at Seixt winery was a great choice. All of our reservations went off without any issues. Also, Diogo and Joao were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Kimkim was just great to work with and did an excellent job. I will definitely make future travel arrangements with Kimkim and have already recommended them to all my friends.

We loved traveling with KimKim. It was the perfect combination of recommended itineraries and personal flexibility in creating our ideal vacation. The guides were excellent and communication with Bea (aka KimKim) was easy and accessible. We would totally travel with them again.

My parents and I greatly enjoyed our 8-day vacation in Portugal with the help of our amazing local specialist, Catarina. From the very start of planning, Catarina was super attentive and collaborative. I let her know our preferences for places to go and the types of things we wanted to do on our trip and she helped us craft a fitting itinerary filled with tours and activities that allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local foods/wines and thoroughly experience the deep culture/history that Portugal has to offer.

In the days leading up to our trip and during our entire trip, Catarina always remained communicative and responsive to all my questions. She was always very professional in her communications and even when we encountered one mishap with a driver one day and unfortunately missed one of our city tours (to no fault of Catarina or KimKim), Catarina didn't fail to keep in contact with us and work through the issues / process a refund for the tour we missed. Aside from this, the rest of our trip felt seamless as Catarina had given us all the information we needed to easily go about our activities each day. She also made sure we had a good amount of rest time built in, especially toward the end of the trip when we were in Albufeira, so we had a good chunk of time after all our tours in the bigger cities to just relax near the beachside before returning home.

If you're thinking of heading to Portugal and looking for a company and local specialist to help plan/book your next vacation, I highly recommend working with KimKim and specifically Catarina from The Host Portugal for all your travel needs!

Our 14 day vacation to Portugal was absolutely fantastic and exceeded our expectations!! All of the tour guides were excellent in their knowledge of the most notable sites as well as the history and culture of the area. Their vast amount of knowledge together with their friendliness made each and every tour a very informative, enjoyable and memorable experience. In addition, each tour guide was very accommodating to our requests to see specific monuments and attractions.

The drivers were punctual and polite. Whenever there was a slight language barrier it was never a problem as they used Google Translate. They were very forgiving of us with our lack of understanding of the Portuguese language.

Our travel specialist Beatriz (Bea) was incredibly dedicated and ensured that we visited the cities in Portugal that were most appealing to us. Her responsiveness was exceptional throughout the planning and booking of our customized itinerary. In addition, her colleagues were also very responsive and replied quickly to our questions during our time in Portugal.

Being able to customize the itinerary is very important to us. Our experience with kimkim has been wonderful 😊. We will use kimkim in planning and booking our future vacations.

Our experience working with Kim Kim, and specifically João from Across Portugal, was absolutely stellar. When we started planning our trip, the communication was timely and responsive to our needs. João really understood the type of vacation we were looking for, and made it happen within our budget!

We were incredibly impressed with the communication platform on Kim Kim. We had all the details we needed for our trip, including confirmation numbers and contact information. Not only that, but we got a personalized message through WhatsApp every evening with a detailed plan for our next day's itinerary. Everything was seamless and well organized. When there was a minor issue with transportation to the airport on our last day of travel, João responded to us within 1 minute (at 6am!) to resolve the problem and issue a refund for the transportation we had paid for. We couldn't ask for better service.

The only negative is that we only had 7 days to enjoy this beautiful trip, and will definitely need to come back to explore more of beautiful Portugal!

Private Historic Odyssey Walking Tour of Lisbon

Lisbon

Gui (Guillermo) from "Your Friend in Lisbon" was an incredible tour guide. His background in Portuguese history and culture added so much value to the tour. We learned so much about the history of Portugal! He took us to all of the most important places in the city, and pointed out some really helpful tips for getting around (i.e. the hidden elevator in Baixa-Chiado). The meeting point at the Restoradoes monument was a bit confusing as there was another large group tour starting there at the same time. In the future, it might be helpful to have a sign with the name of the tour company, as it was initially challenging to find our guide.

We just returned from our vacation to Portugal. Words can’t describe how much we loved our time there. Everything was planned to perfection and everyday just got better and better. Our walking tour on our first day in Lisbon with Ricardo was incredible. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the areas and shared so much of Portugal’s history with us. Our drivers we had while there were equally as enjoyable. Luís Vicente drove us around a couple of days while staying in Lisbon and took us to incredible towns sharing his knowledge about each special area we visited. We were equally impressed with Jorge Amaral who we had the pleasure of meeting while staying in Porto. Jorge drove us around for exclusive tours through Duomo Valley and beyond. He was fantastic and even gave us recommendations for our next leg of the trip after we left Porto for Madeira. His guidance was above and beyond!! We are so thankful for the attention to detail each person provided. Our hotel experiences were great as well. We will definitely use KimKim again and recommend the services provided by Kim Kim to all of our family and friends. Thank you for a magical vacation!!!!!

Our honeymoon trip to Portugal was absolutely amazing! I'm an event/travel planner in my day job, so I know I could've planned the trip on my own, but working with Kimkim and our specialist Beatriz made the planning experience SO much quicker and I appreciate all the time they saved me! I loved how we were able to customize our itinerary, ask specific questions, and tailor the whole experience to our interests + Beatriz was super responsive during our travels in case we had questions or last minute change requests (which was super reassuring). All of our onsite tour guides were all so friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about making sure we had the best time. A few stand out experiences that we highly recommend: Duomo valley tour (100% ask to book a Quintas lunch experience!!!), our private cooking class in Porto (huge shout out to Vitor!) , and our kayaking excursion to the Bengali caves in Algarves. The hotel recommendations were fantastic as well - all located in convenient, central locations and were usually walking distance to our tours. Thank you kimkim and Beatriz for an amazing experience and we look forward to planning our next trip with you soon!

Great trip well organized Marina is amazing

Trip was well organized. Transit from Lisbon to Carvoeiro via coast & Sagres was good. Carvoeira hotel & location was great. Caves boat tour was spectacular . Monchique/Foia was not very interesting. Day trip to Silves & Lagos was great. Same local guide for most of the local tours - good guide & flexibility (e.g, changed Tavira walking tour to trip to Castro Marim & across border to Spain to Ayamonte). Rio Fomosa boat tour - would have done the shorter excursion option . The only issue was the transit from Tavira to Lisbon. The driver was one hour late, as he was given the wrong hotel location.

The trip plan app was great for providing information

We had a 5 star service from Pedro and the team of tour guides and drivers he put together for us. The response on our questions were fast and accommodating. The itinerary was a perfect balance of culture , gastronomy , sights and introduction of Portuguese history. We were never felt rushed. The hotel selection was awesome and the upgrade that Pedro facilitated for us was very much appreciated. Our tour with Gui in Lisbon was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, informative and definitely proud of his Portuguese heritage. Our winery tasting and lunch in Douro Valley was comparable to a Michelin star restaurant. Andre in Porto gave us a good insight into local cuisine and wines. Our transfers were effortless and easy. With Peña palace staff striking the day we were to visit, Pedro came up with an alternative in matter or minutes and we were quickly rerouted.

Great time, thank you so much for a first-class vacation!

I recently had the pleasure of working with KimKim and Catarina while planning a trip to Portugal with my friends. I must say, they are an exceptional team. From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsive and paid great attention to detail. Catarina, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our trip was taken care of.

Catarina worked closely with us to create a custom itinerary that perfectly matched our preferences and interests. Throughout the trip, she was always available to answer any questions we had, and she made sure that everything ran smoothly.

What impressed me the most about KimKim and Catarina was their dedication to providing a personalized and authentic travel experience. They truly took the time to understand our travel style and preferences, and as a result, they curated a truly unique and unforgettable trip for us.

Overall, I can't recommend KimKim and Catarina enough. Their commitment to their clients is truly inspiring. If you're planning a trip to Portugal (or anywhere else, for that matter), I highly recommend reaching out to KimKim and specifically Catarina for their expertise and support.

Mathilde Almas was such an incredible guide. She was as thoughtful as she was knowledgeable. Mathilde anticipated our every need and did everything she could to ensure that our trip was fantastic. Pedro was very attentive, albeit remotely, and we always felt that if there were a problem, Pedro and his team were available. We loved the hotel choices in Porto and Alcobaca and the decision to stay in Alcobaca rather than Nazare. The drivers were equally excellent. All and all, Pedro and Mathilde plus the wonders of Portugal ensured a trip of a lifetime for us!

We just returned from Portugal and had an outstanding vacation. A great part of it was because of the tour designed by Tiago and the tour guide that he had assigned to our care. Tiago put a package together that checked all the boxes that we asked for and everything was handled with perfection and not an issue with anything. We were picked up at the airport and in their care until we were dropped off 5 days later. Excellent job by our tour guide. We hope we have the pleasure of returning some day and will definitely, start our dream vacation again with KimKim tours. Thank you again Tiago.
