this is the second time I have used KimKim and have been impressed both times. One n South America and now this one in Asia. Jessica was very good at finding nice boutique hotels and unusual excursions. Her local contact in Bali was equally amazing. We had the same driver and guild for the entire week and they were also very good. Our guide Budiada was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Our amazing driver Navya was adapt at navigating the crowed streets and always got us there safely. Thanks for an amazing trip and we will use you again.

Hi Sam and Teresa,

Thank you so much for taking the time out to write such a thorough review! We are very happy that you had a great time in Bali and that you could experience the unique cultural side of Bali that is lesser known to tourists :)

You two had been great to work with and we are looking forward to welcoming you back to Indonesia in another opportunity. Wishing you all the best for you two!

Warm regards,

Jessica
