We had an overall great experience with the activities on this tour. I was upfront in requesting that our trip would focus on enjoyment of our kids and for the most part KimKim came through for us. What I most enjoyed from using this service was assistance in setting up transportation via the high-speed trains between cities in Spain. Our guide in Madrid for Royal Palace, Javier was one of the most enjoyable aspects of the trip because he really focused on engaging our children. Our expedition in Valencia led by Sonia was a lot of fun and really got our kids excited to explore around the Mercado Central. The Park Guell and Sagrada Familia led by Beto was incredible due to the extensive knowledge he had and was very accommodating to everyone in the small group. The last expedition in Barcelona for Born/Gothic Quarter was unfortunately the least enjoyable mostly because the guide, Mateo made it clear he did not know there would be children in our private group and said he would have set the experience up differently if he knew ahead of time.

The "pool" is within the spa and children not allowed in the spa area. Incredible location right next to Mercado Central.

As an adult this experience was 5 stars, however we had children with us and the experience could have been tailored a bit more for them to earn that last star.

Hi Christian,

I loved reading your review! So glad you and your 7 year olds had a great adventure! It's nice to see you had fun with the children, and it shows it's possible to travel and have fun with them! 🙌

We have some of the best guides and loved hearing your responses on each guide!

Jessica and I had a great time organizing and booking all your transfers between locations, and we are glad to hear it was a smooth process between cities! :)

I hope to see you again on a future trip with kimkim!

Be well,
Adam
