Eric did a great job helping us plan an awesome 11-day trip to Iceland, circumnavigating the country with a good mix of sightseeing and activities. We rented a car at the Keflavik airport, spent one full day in Reykjavik including a guided city tour, then began driving counterclockwise around the island. The next four days were packed with unique adventures including "Into the Volcano", snorkeling in the Silfra fissure (in an insulated dry suit!), exploring an ice cave, and walking on the biggest glacier in Europe - all were absolutely wonderful.

That got us to the SE corner of Iceland and the remaining days were spent driving, checking out the beautiful sights, hiking, and going to 2 thermal spas. It was a fair amount of driving (2.5-4 hours/day) but allowed us to be immersed in the wonderful natural beauty, culture, and variety of the island. Of particular interest to us were some spectacular waterfalls, Hverir geothermal area (fumaroles, mudpots), Hvitserkur rock formation and beach w/lots of seals and seabirds on the Vatnsnes peninsula, and the Glaumbaer Museum w/traditional turf house.

Wow! What an incredible trip from planning stages through the the last hours. Pedro spent a lot of time going back and forth via email and phone to ensure the trip was planned perfectly for our likes and our budget. He was beyond accommodating, extremely responsive and made it so easy!

All of our drivers were fantastic from the moment we got from the airport to Lisbon. What a beautiful city and we very much enjoyed our walking tour and the wine and cheese after. Fantastic way to see the city and learn about history/culture. On our third day we went to Sintra and explored the castle. Just the outside because we heard that’s the best part and it was very busy. So unbelievable and not to miss!! Now the town itself we didn’t spend much time in because of the crowds honestly. So many other great things to do and since we had a private driver he took us to small towns around the coast up to a great view to see Lisbon across the water. Carlos, our driver, went above and beyond to ensure we had a great day. One thing I forgot to mention is how great it was to get Pedro’s daily updates and texts. Even if we wanted to move something around a bit in terms of timing he made it happen without any worries. So quick to accommodate. And the restaurant recommendations were great too!!

On our way up to Porto we stopped in Obidos which is an absolute must see!! Honestly I would have stayed there for a night it was so adorable. We went also to Nazaré but no waves the day we were there. Porto was beautiful but much busier to us than Lisbon. But maybe because it was closer to the weekend. Our walking tour was good, not our fav part. But the meal they’re known for Fransisina at the place recommend was amazing!! We also loved Honest Greens there if you like healthy food,

Our trip to the Douro Valley was wonderful with a boat tour and the most amazing lunch at the winery. We did a port tour in Porto, but maybe I’d recommend if possible doing it in the valley instead. We had a lots of wine with our meal, so just couldn’t drink anymore 😂 A ton of eating and drinking for sure throughout the trip. The food is wonderful!!

We picked up our rental car very early the next day bd so glad we did. It only took us 4 1/2 hour to get to the Alagarve and we were enjoying the views and sun by 12:15. If you go to Portugal it’s a must!! Very beautiful and relaxing. Our boat tour through the grottoes was unbelievable. And our meal at Luca’s Rooftop recommended by Pedro was a highlight too! We loved walking from our hotel - Cascades along the coast and also stopped in small towns on our way back to Lisbon/Cascais. We had lunch at this amazing place where you were in the middle of a rock formation. Look up The Bodega or The Doll. Wow so awesome!!

We didn’t get to spend much time in Cascais, but definitely would recommend a night and a day or two. So quaint and we had an amazing last meal at a place we stumbled upon that’s Italian and it was worth the hour wait for sure.

On our way back to the airport we forgot to give our daughter’s their passports as we were going home and they were staying in Europe! What could have been a disaster was quickly rectified by Pedro and the driver drove back and hand delivered them to our girls. Above and beyond!!! Just like the service and our entire trip. I would highly recommend Pedro, Luis and Marisa to help plan your trip to Portugal. You will not regret it. The culture, people, sights, food —all of it—amazing! I’ve been all around the world and this is one of my fav places with a great first experience with Kim Kim! Will def use the service again!

* Our guides for Sintra (Teresa and her husband) were exceptional- we ran late- our own fault- and they were very patient with us and helped us fit in the most treasured part of the adventure (Quinta da Regaleira). They ensured we were comfortable while filling us with a deep history of the place and fun anecdotes.
* Our driver Cesar was professional and very thoughtful and patient with us.
* The choice of both our hotels (Epic Algarve and Hotel Portugal in Lisbon) were excellent to meet our needs. Location of Hotel Portugal was perfect for walking to everything. I loved access to the beach and pools at Epic Algarve as well as their delicious breakfasts.
* A serious disappointment was that KimKim apparently did not pass on the information we provided about shellfish allergy to the restaurants where we had reservations. When we arrived for the dinners, it was too late for them to make accommodations since they require this information in advance. Our group leader contacted KimKim after the first dinner to ensure this did not occur for the second dinner, and she was informed by KimKim that they were contacting the 2nd restaurant. Upon arrival at the 2nd restaurant, again they had not received this information and again could not change the menu. These were each Michelin star restaurants, so I paid nearly $1,000 to have 2 meals where I could not eat much of the food or feel safe. For the 3rd restaurant, I did not feel safe going through this again, so I suffered the loss of the prepaid money and went to a different restaurant on my own. Mishandling a food allergy is a grave mistake at the most basic level, and I hope KimKim never makes this mistake again as it could be life-threatening for some people.
* Another disappointment was that the meet-up information for our catamaran cruise out of the Algarve was not clearly communicated, causing us to race around the harbour for an hour and nearly miss our boat.
Overall, I am very glad we went, and I was highly impressed with the individuals we met while in Portugal. If KimKim can fix the mistakes made for future travelers, then I think they will provide an excellent service.

The beach is gorgeous, though you need to be able to walk several floors of outdoor steps to get there. It would not be easy to bring a stroller up or down. The outdoor pools are gorgeous but were too cold to enjoy in mid-May 2024. However, the indoor pool was warmer than most, and I happily swam there several times. The breakfast is fresh, full of variety, with custom omelets, and both indoor and outdoor seating. I liked out separate garden view suite more than our friend's ocean view suite in the main building because our unit felt more private and quiet (as opposed to a regular hotel building).

Location is superb if you don't have a car and want to walk to places. Countless awesome restaurants and shopping within walking distance as well as historical sites. We heard the train much of the time (until midnight and after 5 AM) but we became use to it, and did not find it very bothersome. The breakfast is a good quality, but it does stay busy much of the time (we often had to wait 5+ minutes for a table), and they put out small quantities of food at a time which makes you feel like you should limit yourself. The front desk staff was PERFECT at recommending restaurants for us on both occasions we asked; they also made reservations for us and called us to confirm them while we were out touring- highly appreciated.

Unfortunately the reef is dead. Lots of plastic bottles floating on the ocean. Very sad.

Quality of Experience
Our group really enjoyed the Mari-Mari cultural center. It was a short drive from Kota Kinabulu, and the interactive experience was awesome!

I'm not sure if another island location would be any better. Being so close to the city of Kota Kinabula, and the many stilt villages, and direction of the ocean current contributed to the sea of floating plastic bottles.

Riad El Yacout
Fès

This is an amazing Riad. From the authentic decor, you feel like you have stepped back in time. The food and the staff are also amazing. If you stay here you will be sure to meet Marcos. He is an amazing host who made our stay so much fun.

Authenticity & Character
If you are looking for an authentic Moroccan Riad, then this this is for you.

Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen is an amazing place that is a must do for any Morocco trip. The hotel is small and a bit of a walk from where we were dropped off (as cars cannot get here). The room was nice and quaint and is in a good position within the city. Make sure if you are going out that you know how to find your way back. There are lots of small roads and it is easy to get lost. It is quite a hilly city, so keep this in mind if you have trouble walking (as there are no roads where you can get transport within the city).

Riad Kniza
Marrakech

Well, what can I say about this place? It is hard to describe their Riad in words. It is breathtaking! It is like a royal palace. There are rooms everywhere that you can enjoy as a guest. They are so elegant and impressive. Nothing short of regal. Our room was unbelievable! The detail within the room is hard to describe. Everything from the floors, to the ceilings, to the furniture. Something you need to see to truly appreciate. We had breakfast brought to us each morning on the roof top terrace. Such an amazing way to start the day. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Authenticity & Character
An amazing place. Words don’t do it justice.
Location
This is probably the only downside to this Riad. You have to walk into the Medina through the market area which is a bit crowded and busy. You walk about 5 mins to get to the Riad as cars cannot get in to the Medina.

We overall had a very positive experience in the Azores. If you goto the Azores Pico Island and the Lava Homes are a must. Climbing Mount Pico is a challenging but very worthwhile trek. Furnas on Sao Miguel was also a very interesting place to visit with its hot springs. Be ready for very dynamic weather if you go in May but don’t let the weather slow you down — just keep hiking and exploring. The coastlines are beautiful and the towns very picturesque. Joao was very helpful and reliable, with the few hiccups we encountered with some car rental hiccups.
