Designer Trips Argentina

Ana is wonderful! Kind, understanding, responsive, and always on top of things! I don’t think we would be able to go to Argentina this year without Ana’s involvement! At the time when I didn’t have any chance of planning this trip your help was invaluable 🙏. I told all my friends about you. Thank you so much!

Hotel Reviews

O2 Hotel Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires

Basic hotel. Good location. The reason I gave 2 stars is the size of their beds. They are tiny! If the two single beds are together it’s an American queen size bed, not king. And if they are separate they are much more narrower than a regular single bed. On top of that, the pillows are very hard and puffy. And the fitted sheet for a single bed is larger than a bed. So basically you sleep very uncomfortable on the bare mattress all night (because the sheet will roll) and be tired with a neck pain in the morning. Unless you are small person and the queen size bed is ok for two people.

Cleanliness is ok, but please change the mattresses, sheets, pillow, and buy new towels if you want your guest to be comfortable

Nido del Condor Hotel & Spa

San Carlos de Bariloche

Very nice hotel, about 15 min from the town center, 20 min from the port, and like 30 min from the airport. Rooms are very nice with a view of a beautiful lake! Comfortable beds! Large jacuzzi. Bath robes in the room. Fireplace. Restaurant on premises. Breakfast is quite good, eggs are excellent! Staff is very kind and attentive 🙏. Has a spa facility - with a pool, dry and wet saunas, and couple lounges. My only advice to the hotel management is to make sure saunas are working as it should. We stayed 5 nights and it was a pleasure. Thank you!

My husband got sick one day and I had to bring him breakfast, everyone was helping to get everything together to pack it. 🌹 They also helped me with reservations to restaurants and one special fishing trip.

Tango Show & Dinner at La Ventana

Buenos Aires

We had a quick group tango lesson (by the same guy and a girl who danced in the show later), dinner, and a show. Everything was great! The lesson was fun. Food and wine were excellent. And the show was fantastic! The level of professionalism is top notch (very different from the dancers you see in La Boca restaurants or dancing on the streets). We really loved this night!

Explore the City

Buenos Aires

It was a very good “introduction to the city” tour, kind of a kaleidoscope of little bits of every borrow. Good for people who don’t have much time in Buenos Aires. Otherwise I would skip it and just tour every neighborhood separately.

Colonia del Sacramento - City tour

Argentina

I only liked this tour because our guide was very good. Otherwise I would prefer to take a public bus into Colonia, and not waste time stopping at the chocolate factory.

Just the intimacy of the island and penguins near by was very nice

Minitrek Perito Moreno Glacier

expensive activity (due to price hike this year) but still so worth it! My favorite activity of the trip. The beauty, the size, the air, the feeling of being on top of the ice doesn’t translate well into pictures unfortunately.

Travel Review: A Magical Journey Through Argentina

This long overdue heartfelt review is long overdue, as we want to extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible hosts. From start to finish, the customer service, scheduling, and meticulous attention to detail provided by our travel coordinator (Ana), guide (Flor), and driver (Mhervin) were nothing short of outstanding.

Upon our arrival in Buenos Aires, we were warmly welcomed by our guide, Flo, and Mhervin, who would look after us throughout our entire adventure. Their expertise and friendliness instantly made us feel at home in this vibrant city.

One of the highlights of our trip was the Tango lessons and dinner show. The experience was simply fabulous! We were immersed in the passion and artistry of Tango, enjoying every moment of its rich pageantry. It was a true celebration of Argentine culture that we’ll cherish forever.

Another unforgettable experience was our personal cooking class with Chef Paula at El Federal. What a delight it was to journey through the four regions of Argentina via its culinary offerings! Chef Paula was an exceptional instructor, guiding us through the preparation of traditional dishes. The joy of savoring our own creations was the cherry on top of a wonderful evening enjoying the food and our wonderful host.

A special thank you to Ana, our fantastic tour coordinator, for suggesting and scheduling these incredible experiences. She truly knows how to curate the perfect itinerary!

Flo, our guide, further enriched our trip with insightful walks and recommendations for dining at some of the best local spots. Our visit to La Bamba de Areco was particularly enchanting, with its tranquil ranch setting, stunning landscapes, and the opportunity to connect with horses and locals and horse whisperer.

Ana also arranged a magnificent excursion to El Calafate, where we marveled at the breathtaking Perito Moreno Glacier on the Blue Safari. The overnight stay at Los Ponchos Hotel Boutique was fabulous, with comfortable accommodations and delicious food that made our stay even more special.

We cannot thank Ana enough for the flawless air and ground connections she arranged for us, ensuring a seamless journey from Buenos Aires to El Calafate and back.

For anyone considering a fantastic holiday in Argentina, we wholeheartedly recommend utilizing KimKim and asking for Ana, Flo, and Mhervin. They are a dream team, and we can’t wait to return and experience more of Argentina— with our wonderful guides by our side!

The trip was great from start to finish.
Favorite part was Day 4: Big Ice trek.
Least favorite and actually did not match the description was Day 3. There was no guide, just a driver that dropped the group off in one place and drove us back.
Overall though, it ended with a high.
People are passionate, friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful trip, and the planning process was easy and seamless. Camila was terrific in answering all my questions quickly and providing lots of guidance--I always felt supported throughout the planning! During the trip, everything went so smoothly. I especially want to mention our superb guide in Mendoza, Natalia. She was extraordinary.

The whole trip was amazing. The guides and drivers were friendly and knowledgeable and went out of their way to help. I particularly appreciated Arnold and his information and conversation.

Ana was a pleasure to work with. She worked hard to create a trip just for me and was on top of all issues that came up. She provided valuable information. She made it easy for me to relax and truly enjoy my vacation.

Matias was extremely knowledgeable about the places we traveled to and so enthusiastic and helpful in planning our trip to Chile and Argentina! Even for my million questions, Matias always provided timely feedback and was willing to hop on a video call, which made the trip and planning feel that much more personable. Couldn't have had a better experience, the trip was so well organized. We had an app to track our daily activities, pickups, and contact info, and everybody from Matias to the lodging front desk to our tour guides were so well coordinated.
