We had an excellent experience with Kim Kim travel, from beginning to end. Marta took her time planning the perfect itinerary for us, and really listened to us. Her English is perfect and the response time to our messages and questions, was wonderful. While vacationing, my husband experienced a health issue, and Marta quickly changed and adjusted our plans. Nothing was too much to ask of Marta. I have already told all of my friends about your company, and would use you again. The accommodations were just what we wanted and the guided experiences were excellent. We had a great time with Ivan on our Frigiliana tour. Our guided day in the Andalusian countryside was fabulous and we loved our guide. Highly recommend! The arranged "Jewish themed" tour in Cordoba was just ok, and the guide left us 30 mins early. He was nice, and very knowledgable. The Equitation show in Malaga was great. We enjoyed our tapas tour in Malaga. Our city guide in Madrid was AMAZING! Our tour of the Prado Museum followed by a tapas tour, was great.Our guide was lovely and filled with knowledge about Madrid, food and art history. We chose to self drive, and the highways between cities were very good and easy to navigate. However, the driving in the old cities was anxiety provoking! Once we parked our car, we never took it out again, until leaving the location. All or our accommodations were very well located for walking everywhere. We utilized your restaurant suggestions and found all of your ancilary materials to be very useful.
We LOVED the Bibo Suites Oro delDarro in Granada, and although there was a mixup with our room reservation, things were made right. Apartasuites Alberca in Cordoba was in a great location, and while the suite was just ok, the front desk staff was great. El Museo Living & Experience Club Apartments in Malaga was a good choice and very well located. Senator Cadiz Hotel was so so, but well located and the hotel was welcoming and offered great service and amenities. The Westin Palace in Madrid was well located, but under construction. Our suite was beautiful, and they offered some nice amenities, but there was a problem with the lighting and the TV and there was a strange smell in the suite. The hotel staff was excellent and the breakfast good. I know that I've rambled, but, in short, WE LOVED KIM KIM and felt very well looked after and cared for.

A perfect location and view with good front desk staff. There was a glitch with our reservation, but they made it right. The 2 BR apartment with Alhambra view was amazing! We were able to walk EVERYWHERE.

Our Jr Suite was gorgeous, but there were several glitches, including TV, lighting and a strange odor due to ongoing construction in the building. Perfect location and great staff. Lovely buffet breakfast, with eggs to order. Walked everywhere.

The group tour in English was fine, but not the best we've done. The three-hour duration was more than enough. It was informative, but not the highlight of our trip.
