Mimpi Nusantara Asia

We had a wonderful trip through Indonesia recommended by Marc. I found Kimkim with an AI tool, and I started by finding which destination was better in September. Indonesia was the choice and after that Marc was extremely helpful through our planning process, defining a fabulous itinerary for the 16 days in Indonesia, with adventure, culture and leisure. It was very difficult to choose where to go because Indonesia has around 17 000 islands, but Marc made it easy, trying to show us the advantages of each place. At the end it was amazing! We started our journey in Sumatra to see the orangutans. Then we went to Yogyakarta to go to the temples (Borobudur and Prambanan), after that we went by train to Surabaya (East Java) and then we had 3 days at the volcanoes (Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen) which was unforgettable! After that we went by ferry to Bali (Pemuteran, Ubud and Nusa Dua) and we finished with a cruise to see the Komodo dragons.
Marc made us a wonderful trip, and everything was booked and on time! All accommodations were amazing, specially Plataran in Mount Bromo, Menjangan Dynasty Resort in Pemuteran and Tejaprana Resort in Ubud and the food in Ijen Resort and Villas was incredible. All of our tour guides, representatives, and drivers gave us very good service and made us feel comfortable. Our only regret was not having more opportunities to dive, as we only got to do it in Pemuteran and the underwater is amazing to explore. The entire journey was incredible!

Excellent service , planning and help. Marc worked closely with us to help us plan a wonderful trip. We greatly appreciate all he did to make an excellent trip for my husband and myself.

We were so pleased with our trip to Indonesia organized by KimKim. I appreciate Marc and the itinerary he created. He listened to our requests and really tailored the trip to what we wanted. Our guide was hands down the best part of the whole experience. Lucy was FANTASTIC. She was knowledgeable, pleasant to be around, and made us feel so welcome. We cannot express our gratitude enough!! Overall, a wonderful trip!

Lucy (our tour guide) and our jungle Ranger were fantastic guides. They led us on a beautiful trek though the jungle where we saw orangutans. They provided lunch and snacks and had lots of interesting information to share with us about the jungle/animals/plants/ etc.

The trip to Bali was amazing! Saw some beautiful sights and experienced wonderful adventures! Our accommodations were fabulous (though some had problems with the air conditioning which was frustrating). Marc provided amazing service and professionalism. He organized some great outings, along with drivers and upgraded at several of the hotels. He was responsive at all hours and made sure everything ran smoothly!

Pearl of Trawangan

After a smooth boat transfer, we arrived at Pearl and it was beautiful! Our room was great though was surprised that the entire washroom was outside. Although private, of course, it was odd to use the facilities in the open air. With the hot temperatures, was a bit uncomfortable. But had an incredible time and loved that there were no cars o the island! We biked all around and enjoyed every moment on Gili T! !!

Mahagiri Villas Sanur

Although we were upgraded to a beautiful pool suite, the air conditioner worked on and off for our entire three nights was very annoying. It was fixed and then broke again in the middle of the night several times. The staff was very responsive and came immediately to fix it which was appreciated because the temperatures were very high when we were visiting. One night we had to sleep on the couch in the kitchen area because it was too hot in the bedroom.

My wife and I had an incredible experience in Flores with our guide Sergio and driver Eto. Both gave us a lot of good local insights into the culutre, people and food. We were treated to beautiful scenery in the form of canyons, waterfalls and unique rice fields. And the last 2 days were on a boat which was a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks to Marc and his team for creating the itinerary and giving us a great local experience mostly away from the tourist crowds in Laboan Bajo.

Our trip was amazing! Marc did a great job at everything he did. The guides, drivers and hotels were amazing and perfect!

We had a really wonderful experience on this trip. It started with planning the trip with Marc, who helped us figure out what to do throughout our 5 day trip. Marc was really flexible in ensuring that our specific interests (historical sites, local food, swimming with a manta ray, snorkeling) were part of the plan. And it all happened (although the manta ray part cannot be guaranteed every time :)). Then, on the trip the itself, we had a fantastic driver, Jering. There were lots of nice touches from him, from the welcome flower garlands, ready availability cold water (critical in Bali), through to the discussions about culture and history, and advice on what to look for (with fascinating touches of stories to enrich the experience). And oh, he found us the perfect (and good value) durian experience that was to die for (if you can deal with the smell). I'd definitely recommend working with Marc and Jering for your next trip to Bali.
