We had an amazing 9 days travelling in Paris and Tours as well as the countryside in the Loire Valley. Aline was such a huge help to me to create a trip my whole family was willing to get on a plane for. Biking through the forests to find castles to tour was just incredible and something we will never forget!
Using Kimkim let us balance my desire for all the details to be worked out ahead of time and my husbands idea to just show up and wander. Aline was able to find solutions to the (maybe odd?) requests my two teenagers had and she was always available to help us out when we got stuck. Overall great trip, Thank you!

This place was ultimately a great home base for us, with a couch, tv laundry and lots of dinner options nearby. There was some trouble at check in because they had booked the room under the travel agents name instead of my name.

Our guide kept us moving and was an excellent storyteller, we sampled chocolates and along the way learned the whole human history of chocolate preparation leading right into the french tradition
