May 5 - May 12, 2024
The airport pickups, rides to hotel, personal tour guides, and drive across the beautiful countryside was MAGNIFICENT to say the least. The team did an excellent job, easy to reach at any time during the day/night, and our guide Christian was PHENOMENAL, super kind, bilingual, and most of all knowledgeable When it comes to Ecuador and its history, places to visit, location and sights to see, he was on point and super helpful with advice. He even went out of his way to take us on personal walk throughs at some locations so we really got to experience the vibe and feel of the town and its people. This was truly impressive and heartwarming, we are happy that he is part of the team and highly recommend his services for any tour! Overall the experience was breathtaking. We got to see a side of Ecuador, its people, its food, its glory like never before. The overall drive is long but we made the best of it. The vehicle used was a perfect size for us and our bags. The highlights are too many to name, but our favorite stops on this tour include Quito MITAD DEL MUNDO, Banos with HIKING, ZIPLINING, and the FALLS, and Cuenca OVERALL as a city is amazing with so much to see. If we could do it over again we would focus on specific towns and make the most out of it (like BANOS and CUENCA truly deserve at least 2 days/nights on their own). Thank you team KimKim for your hospitality and hard work. We highly and proudly recommend KimKim for an unforgettable adventure in Ecuador. Thanks team KimKim!
Hotel Reviews
Even though we had the entire hotel to ourselves, this is TRULY a hidden gem in the countryside. Beautiful location, rooms, service. Wish we could have spent more time here to enjoy the scenery and the farm!
Great LOCATION in the city of Guayaquil, walking distance to anything you may need, Taxis and Ubers are easy to get any time of the day or night, and security and parking are great too!
Cute start to our trip, location is perfect walking distance to PLAZA FOCH and plenty of restaurants. Taxis and Ubers are easy to get any time of day/night, and late night food options within walking distance as well! ONLY complaint is we had the room on the top floor and no elevator, but they are working on getting one soon (we were told). Staff was great too. Breakfast next door also very good!

QUITO is a city that deserves more recognition, one can easily spend a week here and still not see enough. MITAD DEL MUNDO is a must for anyone coming here. I have gone twice now and will still go back again and again because it is a great experience.

Not sure if BANOS has its own tour, but this place is absolutely PHENOMENAL and offers SO MUCH to see and enjoy. If you are an adventurer type and love EXTREME SPORTS, this is the place for you. I would recommend 3 or more days to stay and enjoy all the fun stuff there, the choices are insane from ziplining to bungee jumping, ATVs and Pools, hiking, you think of it they have it! I am looking forward to going back and focusing here for a few days to get my fill.
