Perfect tours, exceptionally well planned, we had to just go with the plan which was great but allowed us to explore as we wanted

Everything from planning the trip to its execution went smoothly. It was a fantastic way to see such a beautiful land and people, with guided tours, great rental vehicle, and excellent hotels.

All of our tour guides gave us such a personal experience and I am not sure we could have had such a great time without KimKim and Chris' planning. It was great to know everything was laid out all we had to do was show up, and explore as we wanted in between.

It doesn't do it justice, writing this review, I certainly stand by KimKim and believe you should experience it firsthand. Also, the price was phenomenal and so was the transparency of the planning, and agency.

Chris, thanks for giving us such a wonderful journey and we'll be in touch soon!

Achilleas Hotel Athens
Athens

Beautiful hotel! Very modern with plenty of space. I enjoyed the location and centrality of the hotel in the heart of old Athens. I would absolutely go back and recommend anyone to stay here.

Nafplio

Wow! Does that some it up? A beautiful venetian city, with historic (but modernly renovated where possible) hotels, restaurants, and buildings. We were a block away from the ocean, nearly ALL of the restaurants and everywhere had a scenic view. It is such a Bed & Breakfast "vibe" as my wife would say, which is why we adored it so much. To the staff who cared for us, we thank you so much.

B&B atmosphere and layout. The restaurant is next door, and breakfast was excellent!

Absolutely beautiful. Historic log and stone cabin home renovated with every modern desire. The location was fantastic, and breakfast was super accommodating and plentiful, especially for us with dietary restrictions. I only wish we could have stayed longer. It reminds me so much of the mountains in West Virginia that we love to go and get away from it all in, then explore a historic town, and great people and food.

Brand new hotel with a very modern outlook. It is built for a younger crowd, and the plethora of artwork/images everywhere was not at all in my taste. It was oceanfront, and therefore had a great view.

Wonderful room, and location. It was great to have the shuttle service back to the airport. Our driver was excellent and timely. The restaurant was good, and had a great view wherever you looked. I only wish we could have explored a bit more.

Wow. Elena (from Olympia Insiders) was our guide and there's not enough room to write why she made this so meaningful and great for us. Her passion, education and personality made it magical to understand the depth of discovery, wonder and history for the birthplace of Olympic games and Grecian art, sculptures, practices. This, along with Delphim, were the two most enthralling of the ancient tours. There was so much to see and witness in every direction and the museums are world-class.

Our tour guide demonstrated the acoustics and it allowed us to understand the depth of ingenuity and science that went into building such architecture. It is an amazing place to see and the museum itself is fantastic as well. He really knew a great deal about the Peloponnesian people and peninsula.

Please do not miss out on this destination. The view the entire journey was incredible. The sapphire water of the Mediterranean was almost always visible and the drive was fun. This was such a magnificent site and to see how much is visible & explorable will make it a favorite.

Dear Jason, Kayla & Charlie,
