Our trip to Paris and Bayeux was exceptional. From the very second of the planning process, Liz listened to our desires and did a fantastic job creating an itinerary that was full of culture and history.

The KimKim team was exceptional in answering all of our questions while we were traveling. It definitely provided a sense of security and comfort knowing that we weren’t alone and were being taken care of in a foreign country where we didn’t speak the language.

All of our guides were extremely knowledgeable and kept our interest peeked throughout the tours, and the private tours were worth every cent. My son and I loved getting to know our guides, and building relationships with them!

We will most definitely use KimKim on our European travels in the future!

It was okay for the 10 hours that we were there, but it was very small and cramped overall. The beds were so small you couldn’t move or you’d fall off of them. The shower door didn’t go to the floor, so there was water was all over the bathroom floor.

The overall experience was fun, but be prepared to eat like a Parisian! As picky eaters, weren’t prepared for the food.

Being able to see where my grandfather was on D Day and hear the stories of what he experienced on that horrific day was extremely emotional. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very informative.

This was such a great day!! Our guides, Tebo, made this the best experience! It was so fun to go to the market and immerse ourselves into the day in the life of a local! And being on the bikes was such an added bonus and a great way to tour the grounds! Definitely recommend this one!!

This was the least favorite thing that we did. The tour guide didn’t go in chronological order, and it was very difficult to follow. More of a lecture format, so it was a bit boring.

Great day with such amazing stories of individual heroism. We had a very small group, so we split up the morning by taking a break at a local cafe (pic below). The guide spoke with the owner who had WW2 artifacts in the back of her shop, and she allowed us to go visit. It was such an intimate and impactful bonus to our day.
