I cannot recommend this travel agency enough! From the moment we arrived in Greece, every detail was perfectly arranged, making our trip truly unforgettable. The service was exceptional, and the guides and drivers were simply amazing.

Our Acropolis guide, Apollon, brought the history of the ancient site to life in such a captivating way. He had so much knowledge and passion that it was impossible not to get caught up in the wonder of the experience. When we traveled to Delphi, Yannis, our private driver, made the two-hour journey both enjoyable and comfortable. His friendly demeanor and expertise made the drive feel like part of the adventure. Once we arrived in Delphi, Giorgos, our private guide, expertly navigated us through the larger groups, ensuring we could get up close to the remarkable sculptures in the museum. His guidance helped us truly appreciate the history and beauty of the site.

In Naxos, we had the privilege of having Katia as our private guide, and Niko as our driver. They made the experience unforgettable. Katia was incredibly knowledgeable, and Niko’s smooth driving allowed her to focus entirely on us, guiding us through the island’s rich history and breathtaking sites.

One of the highlights of my trip was a last-minute request I made to Elen, asking for a drive through the mountains to visit the marble quarries. As an architect, this was one of the most memorable experiences of the trip. Elen arranged everything seamlessly, and Spiro, my driver, took me on a scenic route that added another layer of magic to my journey.

Throughout the entire trip, the agency made everything feel easy and effortless, all while staying within a reasonable budget and providing us with wonderful accommodations. The entire experience felt like first-class treatment but without the hefty price tag. If you’re planning a trip to Greece, I highly recommend booking with this agency—you’ll be in great hands!

I understand it is difficult to separate mythology from history and architecture but the majority of our tours dealt with history and architecture, even religion and geology. It was mostly our first day in Athens that covered mythology. I believe this was just a cookie cutter tour taken off the shelf that focused on Greece's main attractions, there was no customization.
The accommodations were excellent, everything was timed very well but for the very expensive price paid I would have hoped to get what I asked for, a mythology based tour and I did not.

I’m very sorry to hear that the tour content did not fully meet your expectations. In our initial offer, we did mention that we do not provide guided tours specifically themed around Percy Jackson. However, we always strive to incorporate Greek mythology into our experiences to create a rich and immersive journey. While our tours focus on a balance of history, mythology, and culture, I completely understand that you were hoping for a more mythology-centered approach. At archaeological sites across mainland Greece, there are only a limited number of licensed guides available. We carefully selected those with the strongest knowledge of mythology to enhance the storytelling aspect of your tours.
Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will take it into consideration as we continue refining our itineraries. We truly appreciate the opportunity to have been part of your journey and hope you take many wonderful memories from your time in Greece.

We couldn’t have asked for a more special honeymoon… from the views in Santorini to the beautiful cruise along the caldera to its spectacular sunsets to the cooking and wine tasting experiences. Five days in Santorini was definitely a great recommendation as it allowed us to get to know the entire island personally. We were also very happy and comfortable with the transportation and living accommodations arranged by KimKim all throughout our stay. We would love to use KimKim for another travel adventure in the future!

My favorite place was Mykonos! I had so much fun exploring the labyrinth town, the famous beautiful windmills, and a few beaches! The day cruise to the archaeological site at Delos and learning about the birthplace of the twin gods Apollo an Artemis the Sun and the moon was inspiring.
I’m not one to jump into the waters, but am so happy that I had the chance to swim in the warm, turquoise blue waters! Just amazing!
Santorini was amazing place to explore, the beautiful white buildings setting along the side of the steep hillside are a site to see in both day and night! The red, and black beaches are beautiful, and the food, sunsets and drinks are refreshing.
The bus tour was nice, but the tour guide voice was a bit high, hard to listen to. I enjoyed the lunch that was provided and touring their wine cellar was a nice touch.
I would recommend KimKim 100%. And if I ever have another chance to go exploring again I will coordinate the trip through you!
