Using KimKim was an excellent way to see so much throughout Patagonia and still squeeze in some wonderful wine tasting and site seeing in and around Santiago, Chile (including fun and fascinating Valparaiso). Walking with the penguins on Isla Martillo in the Beagle Channel (while staying in Ushuaia) and the glacier mini trekking on Perito Moreno (staying in El Calafate) were awesome, once-in-a-lifetime experiences! Caro was fantastic helping us plan and reserve all of our excursions and lodging. Our guides (especially Jhon and Robinson) were wonderful and drivers Fernando and Christian were great, too! Mateo was particularly helpful and responsive with our questions… Our only regret was not upgrading our lodging. We had a wonderful experience at the Tolkeyen Hotel (modest, but gorgeous water view from our very quiet room) in Ushuaia and the Sierra Nevada in El Calafate was modest, but comfortable with good food and convenient location. But, we didn’t care for our very tiny room (and tiny bathroom) on a loud street in Puerto Natales at Casa de la Patagonia. The Hotel Fundador in the central Santiago (London-Paris neighborhood) was friendly and dinner was very inexpensive, but the room wasn’t great, bedding was uncomfortable, lots of noise at night. and the area was dirty and old (not in a quaint way). We were warned often about our safety there, too….Overall, I would use KimKim again for international travel! They made everything go smoothly and took the stress out of navigating new places. Priceless!!
