Our local specialist, Eleni, was very knowledgeable about Italy and Greece and directed us to places we might not otherwise think to visit. She was quick with her responses and patient with all my questions. Our departing flight was canceled and we got delayed by a day...Eleni and KimKim took care of the changes we needed to make immediately and put together the documentation we'd need to file our insurance claim without me even asking. She knew exactly what to do. The local guides Eleni arranged were top-notch. Everything went exactly as planned and we didn't have any hiccups for two weeks of traveling. This was our second trip planned with KimKim. The thing we appreciate the most is the stress it removes from us during the trip. It's worth every penny to not wonder where to go or what to do. One of our favorite stops was at a small family vineyard in Nafplio, Greece. We also loved Pompeii...I'm so glad Eleni convinced me it was worth the stop.

This is one of the best tours we've ever had. There are some special surprises for the kids, adults also appreciate.

This was the best meal we had all week in Italy, and that's saying a lot since all the food in Rome is good. We remade the recipes as soon as we got back home. Homemade pasta is on regular rotation in our house now.

Part of this tour was really interesting (olive oil tasting!) but a lot of it was not well executed. Our guide was very sweet and knowledgeable but other than the olive oil tasting didn't provide much of anything we could experience just by going to restaurants on our own. We were hoping for more tastings and possibly meeting the chefs.

Quality of Experience
The olive oil tasting was exactly what we had hoped for, but it was just one small part of the tour.

More experienced guide and more tastings instead of just sitting at a restaurant and ordering food.

We love spending time with locals more than anything else when traveling and being on this family's farm for the afternoon was amazing. We loved everything about it. It's worth the beautiful drive to the country.

Pompeii was much larger and far more interesting than any of us expected. Our private guide was very knowledgeable and great with kids. We could've spent even more time here, we loved it so much.
