The booking process was easy w the help of Irene. We loved the guide Giorgia in Siena. We didn’t know the back story of the horse race and it was fascinating. She also got us right into the thick of the parade. All of the drivers were excellent. We really liked Guillermo who drove us to Siena from Terre di Baccio. We loved all the hotels. The service, breakfasts and locations were all great. Our favorite experience was the private boat ride in Sorrento. I think the skipper’s name was Luigi and he was perfect. I highly recommend using Irene and the kimkim team for a vacation.

Activity Reviews
Giorgia was an excellent guide. She’s lived in Siena for 25 years and gave us lots of great insight into the town, culture and horse race, which we were lucky enough to catch as it is only twice a year.
This tour was a favorite, especially for Christina. We visited a winery where we had the pleasure of interacting with an older gentleman who was a painter. The winery visit was followed by a delicious lunch. Our driver was knowledgeable about wines. The lunch wasn't a full meal but it was enough to eat, and we enjoyed wine throughout.
Our tour guide, Matteo, was exceptional. He was very good at navigating us through the Vatican, even skipping the line of the skip line people. He was quite knowledgeable about the history and explained things very well about the Sistine Chapel and the shrines. His expertise ensured we had a thorough tour without it taking too long.
The family absolutely loved this tour. Our boat driver was great and the stops at two towns were enjoyable. The highlight was when he stopped and threw some fish food into the water, attracting beautiful blue fish. The kids were thrilled to snorkel among the fish. The views were breathtaking and the overall experience was unforgettable.
This was quite an adventure, especially for my 13-year-old who found the waves challenging. The guide helped by tying his kayak to hers and we managed to reach a small cave area where we took a break. We took some beautiful pictures there. The experience was a bit challenging but still enjoyable.
