Elani from Kim Kim was amazing!!! She did an incredible job on this post extension from our viking cruise. We stayed 4 nights in Athens Greece. Kim Kim provided a beautiful bus to transfer us to hotel in Athens. We went on several tours while in Athens and was always taken on these tours in a A/C bus with incredible bus drivers. We did a walking tour with a very knowledgeable guide, we went to poseidon and several ruins. Did a canal boat tour, had a lunch at a beautiful hillside winery. We did a 3 island boat tour to see Saronic Islands of Hydra, Poros and Aegina which was breathtaking. We paid alittle more and got the VIP treatment and it was so worth it. Did some more touring around and had an amazing dinner at the local restaurant. The last day we went to Vouliagoneni lake and relaxed on our last day in Greece. There are a few things I would do differently. One I would spend alittle more money and get a 4 star hotel instead of a 3 star and secondly, I would not have preplanned meals, as I would prefer to pick food off a menu. Overall everything was great!!! I would definitely recommend using Kim Kim to plan my next vacation. This company uses the BEST guides and knows alot of great places to go. We had so much fun.
Hotel Review
The rooms were small but the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was great. Best thing about this hotel was the roof top deck that we sat our every change we could to have a glass of wine and look at the Acropolis.
Activity Reviews
Was a great meal and wine was good
It was a very nice ride to the airport. The guide early picking us up and it was an easy drive to the airport
This was amazing. Our guide was so knowledgeable and told us great stories and the history of democracy which was so interesting. We visited lots of really special places and had an awesome beer tasting experience. We also went through the farmers market which was busy and interesting. I highly recommend this tour which in Athens
The Poseidon was really nice and very interesting to see. The Fish Tavern we had dinner at was in a great location on the water, but I did not like the meal. It was served family style and had alot of food that I would not eat. The red wine was very sweet and not good and there were alot of little bugs everywhere since we were on the water. Overall this was not a restaurant I would want to come back to. I am a very picky eater so some people would love this authentic restaurant, but not me.
Going through the cannel was amazing. The boat ride was fun and we learned alot. It was great walking up to the castle and the lunch was really nice. We went to a small town and walked around and had a dinner at a really nice restaurant with beautiful sunset views. Food was really good too. Had the best Greek salad. The only issue was we had a long ride home on the bus and for some reason the A/C was not working or bus driver did not turn it on so we were all sweating on the way home.
Best Tour ever!!!!!!! We loved this boat ride. The drinks, food and scenery were amazing. We even saw Dolphins playing. It was by far my favorite tour. Walking around the islands was fun and stopping to get a drink was great. Loved this whole experience. They even gave me a hotdog and fries which was not on their normal menu. I can't say enough about this tour it was the BEST
The place was beautiful. It was very relaxing, but the staff was not prepared for a group of 25 people. They didn't explain how the lunch was going to be serviced as a family style meal. We were all in separate lounge chairs and they brought food out in big bowls, but we didn't have individual plates so we couldn't just take some and pass it on. And quite honestly we didn't know we were supposed to do that. Lots of confusion. We were suppose to get a drink with our lunch and that didn't happen until lunch was over. In fact we got our beer 1 hour after the lunch was served. But it was still a cool place
Laura, thank you so much for your warm words. I am very happy you enjoyed the Greece trip as much as I enjoyed being with you for these couple of days!
I am looking forward to hosting you again!
