A great experience for our family of 5 visiting Italy for the first time. The week was planned expertly with how we like to travel. The hotels and guides were memorable. August is very hot so be prepared. Very authentic experience( the food was so good!) and I highly recommend kimkim to anyone traveling. Looking forward to using Martina again for Northern Italy in the future!

Hotel Residence
Amalfi

Great location in Amalfi next to the busiest shopping and eating street but the early mornings were loud on our side with the shops being restocked so you hear pallets being loaded and unloaded. Very nice morning breakfast.

Chris was such a great guide and chef! What a memorable experience we had making pasta. It was the first meal we tried to recreate when we returned back home.

Enjoyable evening spent in the Museum. Our guide was very knowledgeable but sometimes hard to hear as there are lots of twists and turns during the tour and the earpiece couldn't pick up his microphone. The entire grounds were much larger than we expected. More of a history of the paintings and sculpture than talk about religion.

We loved our time spent on Patricia's vineyard! An amazing lunch followed our knowledgeable guide's discussions of how they make their unique wine and a tour of the grounds. Many great picture stops along the way.

Wonderful location to visit. Picturesque views from the water and a cute little town. Close to other well known cities to make day trips to.

Driver wasnt in the anticipated waiting area at the Naples airport. We had all 5 family members spread out and searching for him.

Great views from the water and a great place to jump off and swim or snorkle! Water was warm and easy to spend time in. Not a large boat so the water was a little choppy to navigate through.
