Our trip to Greece was fantastic. Chris did a wonderful job organizing our large group. He is responsive and very informative. All the tours were well done by experienced and knowledgable guides.

Even when the weather foiled our hike at the Samaritan Gorge, or guides - Andreus and George, shifted the plans in the moment to a cave church, olive oil factory, and wine tasting at a monastery. It was a memorable day in Chania.

The tour at the Knossos Palace was spectacular. The professional tour guide who met us at the museum was very knowledgable. We appreciated learning about one of the oldest civilizations. It was interesting to see the museum and then go to the archeologic site. Alena also was very personable.

Food was great (fresh and health… accommodating several vegetarians) and accommodations were clean and comfortable.

Drivers were prompt and friendly…and very skillful in navigating the narrow roads.

A very positive experience using KimKim and especially Chris and his colleagues.

Avra Hotel Rafina
Rafina, Athens

Hotel had good food and friendly staff. The location was 25 min to airport and near a ferry port. I would not consider this a tourist destination, but a transfer point. There was a nice beach but the weather and time of year -May- everything was closed. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

We stayed in Oia and enjoyed the quaint town… great food and spectacular views. We took a self-guided hike from Oia to Capitol Rock. And we stopped for lunch. While it was a bit crowded to get to the iconic vistas…. But you can’t go to Santorini without seeing them. People were friendly and food was good.
