We really enjoyed our 3 week trip to Spain & Portugal & the itinerary provided by Raquel. The hotel selection was perfect. Great locations especially our hotel in Ronda which had an amazing view!!
The tours Raquel arranged were well planned, each adding something different to our experience.
The gourmet food tour in Barcelona, flamenco show in a cave in Granada, hiking the Caminito del Rey & boat ride to Benagil caves in Portugal were favourites!
We had plenty of suggestions for restaurants as well as free time.
Appreciated how the whole trip, itinerary, practical information was organized into an app.
This was our third time using KimKim & highly recommend as having a local agent planning the trip makes a difference.
Thank you Raquel!!
