Everything about our trip was truly "Perfecto!" Irene was very responsive throughout the entire planning process and created exactly the itinerary that we wanted. We spent 2 nights in Venice, 3 in Florence and 2 in Rome. I was so impressed with every tour guide. Each and every one was so professional and so knowledgeable. I loved the personal nature of our tours being just for our group of 3 or a very small group. The personal and friendly nature of these tours made each day a joy! I can see how having a good guide to show the highlights of Florence and the Uffizi galleries is extremely important. The Tuscany wine trip was also very enjoyable as we toured with three other couples. It was wonderful to get to know people from all over the world. We were also extremely pleased with our hotels in each city. The location of each one was close enough to the action to make it easy to walk to many places, but quiet enough to feel relaxed. Each hotel had a local feeling and also with all the amenities you would expect in a 4 star hotel. And the breakfasts...fantastic! All of our transportation went off without a hitch thanks to all of the arrangements by Irene. We are so thankful for Irene and the beautiful trip that she arranged for us. We would definitely use KimKim again in the future!

Thank goodness this tour was a skip the line tour. You should try to do the tour that is in the morning before it opens. Our tour guide, Barbara, was very good, but the whole experience would have been even better in the morning. It just didn't work out for our timeline. Do the morning tour if you can get it!

So knowledgeable!
