Using KimKim as our tour company made our trip so much more pleasant and memorable for my daughter and me. Greece was on my radar for many years, and we didn’t know how to plan it. Harris helped us every step of the way by laying out a suggested itinerary, and termed it along the way with our plans. From the moment we arrived in Athens to the moment we departed Santorini, it was nearly perfect. We especially enjoyed our wineries tour in Naxos and our Volcano and Oui boat tour in Santorini. Our tour guide Ana in Naxos was amazing and so much fun! The last day had several hiccups with transportation to and from the boat, and we somehow didn’t receive our tickets for the boat tour, but it worked out in the end. Also there was a big gap in our first full day in Naxos with nothing planned until an evening food and wine tour, which was fun and informative with Katarina as our private tour guide. But because we were free to do what we wanted, we found a small, nine-hour bus tour of several villages on the island that was fantastic and beautiful! Our tour of ancient Naxos and the Parthenon was also beautiful and informative, and our beach day in Naxos was amazing and relaxing. All hotels were beautiful, adequate, and the people welcoming and friendly! Overall, it was very smooth and well-organized, and we recommend KimKim for anyone looking for a semi-private tour company.

The people were SO friendly and hospitable, the view was spectacular, and “Mama’s breakfast” was like no other anywhere I’ve ever been!

Beautiful hotel. Pool is small, but a waterfall that massaged your neck and shoulders, jets in the pool for a back massage, there was also a hot tub, sauna, and hamam!

I was hoping it would be a meal, but it was mostly small appetizer type food. Our host Katarina was lovely and fun!

A ride. Our tour guide gave us a ride home so we didn’t have to walk to our hotel in the dark.

Santorini

This was among our top two favorite tours! Our bus driver Konstantinos was THE BEST! He was funny, engaging, and his fun banter with our tour guide Ana made it even more memorable. We laughed so much!! Great memories!! We learned so much about grapes, wine, and wineries! And we got to prepare our delicious meal together with our tour guide!

Everything! Even though the weather turned on us and it rained, the scenery was beautiful!!

The fresh ingredients! And of course the wines we tasted!

The wine tasting, the tour of wineries, the scenery, the preparation of food, and of course it was delicious! If I ever go back to Greece I would do this tour again! I made some real friends with Ana and Konstantinos!! ❤️

Our driver didn’t show up for us for an hour. That was stressful, but we worked it out with the tour company.
