A truly fantastic trip, flawlessly organised by Chadya and the KimKim team. We could not have asked for a better guide to Bonito and the Pantanal that Miguel. He truly went above and beyond to make our stay in this beautiful part of Brazil all the more captivating. Our driver Jerson was also great company an a very keen eyed spotter of roadside wildlife.

Pestana Cidadela Cascais
Cascais

The hotel is located within the walls of an old fortress. Within the wall it is surrounded by a restaurant and art galleries. The area is particularly attractive. The hotel itself is a modern design with carefully appointed rooms with patios/lawns outside your door. Breakfast is quite good with an abundance of choices for guests. There is also an airy bar on the premises with friendly staff. A very nice restaurant is just across the entry courtyard. The central location of the hotel allows guests to walk to most of the sights, shops and restaurants.

There was a lot of road travel and all was safe..kudos to the driver. The vehicle fell short of high standard though
Hotels were superb.
The guide stayed with us and was satisfactory.
I found Morocco, a country great, clean and safe but one could see a glimpse of developing countries, like no regard for zebra crossings and beggars.
I'd do it again but spending more time in one place rather than little time in lot of places.

In Brazil, we had a total of 3 tour guides with us and 2 of them exceeded expectations and one seemed to leave us hanging for a part of the trip. Luis and Alberto excelled at their job they both kept a pace we could keep up with (we are both 60+), were very informative, commenting on the significant historical stories of each locale, and were receptive to questions and adjustments to the tour so that we felt comfortable at every stage of the trip. While C was informative and tried their best at English she probably kept the Portuguese portion of the group well informed but when we went to confirm our return ride back by rail, we felt a little abandoned not knowing what the next step was. Thankfully fellow passengers and the station master were quick to figure out the next step and ensured we had tickets for, the return train trip back to Curitiba. It must also be said that C was very considerate in backtracking the group to recover a personal item left behind - thank you C. Kimkim and Luis were very helpful when the airline cancelled a trip from Foz do Iguacu to Curitiba shortly before boarding. Luis was on the phone to clarify alternate plans, and in a few minutes, an alternate route going through Sao Paulo was arranged. While we got in later than expected it all worked out. All the transfers were handled professionally with no hiccups. At all times when travelling with the parties, Kimkim arranged we felt safe and looked after. In overview, the hotels were all comfortable and met our expectations with interesting features and locations. Kimkim was right on with sticking to the plan as agreed upon. I would travel with Kimkim again especially if the same stellar tour guides were included.

Johnscher by San Juan
Curitiba

Unforgettable building and A1 staff. The building is quite old but has been tastefully renovated with AC and comfortable beds and a spacious bedroom. I doubt you will have ever stayed in a bedroom with higher ceilings - quite a unique and beautiful feature. The daily breakfast was tastefully presented and with numerous options sure to address whatever your breakfast desire is. for security reasons, you are buzzed in 24hrs around the clock at the front door(not easy to find initially). the front desk is attentive and prompt with opening the door - nice when it is raining. One small observation - the shower works well however the shower base is level not providing a quick draining shower floor. not a large issue. Consider bringing your USB plugins as we had none in our room. It is in an old part of Curitiba and therefore not that close to many amenities. The municipal market(must see) is about 20 minute walk away. We used Uber to get to the things we were interested in.

Foz do Iguacu

Staying at the Viale Tower Hotel was a good experience. The location was quite close to a presidential hotel or palace, which was interesting to see. However, I felt that the hotel could have been better situated, perhaps nearer to transit, shopping, parks, or other attractions. Despite this, we used Uber for our commutes, which made things easier. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, but I would consider the location more carefully next time.

The Windsor Palace in Rio de Janeiro was fantastic! Its location was superb—just two blocks from the beach and close to a great park and numerous shops. We really enjoyed our time there and appreciated the convenience of having everything nearby. It made our free days in Rio much more enjoyable as we could easily explore the area. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking to stay in Rio.

On the last day when we were to fly from Pokhara to Kathmandu, our flight was cancelled (due to weather). Sangita arranged for us to get a jeep to Kathmandu so we could make our international flight. She found us a private jeep with a fantastic driver. 20 minutes later, we were on the road...our only hope to make our flight. On the way, via cell phone comms back and forth, she helped us collect our left luggage from our previous hotel and deliver it to us at the airport. Without all this coordination on Sangita's part, we might still be in Nepal!! She is simply awesome and a miracle worker.

While all our guides were good, Mr. Devinder in New Dehli and Mr. Virendra in Jaipur were superb. Devinder did a great job of being flexible with our schedule to make sure all of our time with him was used to its full potential. Virendra's historical and current knowledge of Jaipur made our tours with him very interesting and informative.

One thing to note: the guides will take you to vendors where they will receive a commission on sales. In general, the vendors offer quality items, but you have to be firm and comfortable putting your foot down to say 'no thank you' to your guide and vendor if you aren't interested in purchasing anything.

The hotel was great, but we were here at the tail end of the prime season, so it was quiet (not necessarily a bad thing). In fact, we were redirected from one of the restaurants that was supposed to be open. The hotel sits perched on the side of one of the mountains and is viewable from the tea plantations and town below. The views from this hotel are AMAZING, and the massages are good also. The rooms were just the right size, and the staff was friendly.

Houseboat

We were told the houseboat would travel through the canals, allowing you to see the small villages. What actually happens is you boat out from where you board for about an hour with about 10-15 other boats, some of which passed within touching distance. Then, you boat the hour back and dock next to a house where the boat can connect to their electricity. While our cook and captain were friendly enough, they spoke little to no English, so my husband and I couldn't really ask any questions about what we were seeing, what we were eating, etc. Also, while there are lights on the boat deck, they're quite dim and a funny color (pinkish?). As a result, we ended up going to be quite early. If we were to choose again, we wouldn't do this again.

Chokhi Dhani Resort

Several friends from India recommended Chokhi Dhani to us. So, in fairness, I don't think we had the right expectations when we arrived. We just trusted their recommendation without much research. Chokhi Dhani is a resort modeled after a traditional Rajasthani village. Each room is designed as an individual "hut/house." In the evening, the grounds around the rooms were dimly lit, and few people were eating in the restaurant or outdoor buffet area. I'm guessing that most guests were next door where the shows, activities, shopping, and traditional Rajasthani restaurants are located. However, the dim lights and sparsely populated grounds were offputting. Regarding the activities next door, they were okay, but they seemed kind of cheesy. If you were visiting with children, I think it would have been more fun and interesting. Also, when we entered, we were told not to tip the performers, yet we had several who directly asked us for tips. The activities and shows are free, but it's an additional cost if you want to eat. It wasn't terrible - the rooms were clean, and the service was good. It just not what we had anticipated or wanted.

A special trip to Paris and Colmar, France with my sister was made much easier with help from Mathilde and Kim Kim. It was such a comfort to have accommodations, tours, museums and train tickets all arranged in advance. The need didn’t arise but there was extra security knowing that we could call the Kim Kim team with any problems during our trip.
We had a very special tour guide in Colmar where we learned more about the Alsace region and appreciated the history and beauty of the area. And Paris was beautiful as ever. How exciting to see the city as it prepares to host the Summer Olympics. The advice to book museums early in the day was very good. Prior to our trip, it was very helpful to have a phone conversation with Mathilde to answer our questions and ease any travel anxieties. Vive la France!

All of the tours they arranged were private or small groups (6 or fewer people), and tour guides were amazing.

Maria Grazie did an amazing job in putting together the initial tour. She was so patient in addressing our many trip plan changes. Once we were in Italy, our contacts Barbara and Jessica (the owner) responded immediately to any questions that we posed via the Story Walking app. Their responsiveness and attention to detail were amazing…can’t asked for a better support team.
