Kimkim Trip Reviews

France Trip Review:
In addition to comments from Mark & Rhonda, I've added a couple of my comments below:
What we liked the most:
- Bordeaux and wine tours: our guide Bogdan Ghita was very knowledgeable and fun. He did a great job with the itinerary and we just really enjoyed his company.
- Bordeaux itinerary with Bogdan was excellent and well thought out! We enjoyed the variety of Chateau's, from small to big, and the great restaurants for lunch each day.
- Our guide for the D-Day tours was also outstanding. We were not prepared for the cold weather in Normandy but we enjoyed our time there and learned a lot about WWII.
- Transportation: All transportation was on-time and very comfortable (cars and trains). We had a little hiccup in Paris because our drivers that picked us up at the train stations did not speak English but we got through it.
- Itinerary variety: I thought the plan to begin our trip in Bayeux, move to Bordeaux, and end in Paris was ideally suited to experience a variety of tours and visit the best sites in each area.
- Hotels in Bordeaux and Paris: We enjoyed the accommodations in both cities. Each hotel was comfortable, in a good location, and served a really nice breakfast each morning.

What could have been better:
- Accommodations in Bayeaux: Great location but uncomfortable beds and a couple of inconveniences like we had to go buy toilet paper and soap as well as we had to return the keys to the owner’s mailbox a few blocks away on the way to the train station. It was also hard to find a place for breakfast given our very early start every day (nothing was open). I would have liked to see more options before we decided to stay there.
- Foodie tour: We did not enjoy this tour as it was too much walking/standing. We were unable to sit to enjoy any of our tastings. Given that it was late afternoon we could not find good pasteries and the formagerie was too crowded to host us. I wouldn’t recommend this tour in the future.
- Paris: We started most days very early, which was ok. However the Louvre tour was at 10:00 and the lines to get in were terrible. I would recommend an earlier start at the Louvre to avoid some of the crowds.

Thank you again for everything!
Mark and Rhonda Elming

When we set out to plan a week holiday to the Galapagos, we were overwhelmed with the many awesome destinations, activities and adventures to chose from as well as the logistics to get from one place to the next within the limited time that we had.

We reached out to Kimkim team for help and were really fortunate to have Lucia as our trip advisor.

Thanks to her wealth of knowledge and experience, we were able to plan the perfect trip that included our top destinations and every adventure we wanted to experience, while visiting these wonderful islands.

I must say that dealing with Lucia was exceptionally pleasant and easy, so we have to send special thanks and appreciation to you Lucia!

She made this wonderful trip possible and was so patient, creative and wonderful in finding options that suit our plan, time and budget to make this trip possible and super special!!

Thank you for your amazing support Lucia throughout the planning process, during and after our trip to make sure we were always well taken care of, wherever we were.

We had one helluva adventure being amongst the marine life in the Galapagos.

We even did a bit of fishing 🎣 and caught a yellow fin tuna 🍣 which was then served to us in form of ceviche. We were hosted very nicely on the boat by captain and the crew. Loved every bit of it

Bassam was our guide in Jordan. He was wonderful! He was a safe, careful driver, and a well-informed guide on local sites and history. Jarash was amazing with the roman ruins, collinated streets and temples. Petra was so beautiful with the slot canyon (Siq) and the Treasury, the Monestary and the tombs. But if I go again, I will use the Golf Cart to enter and exit Petra because I was completely exhausted from walking in the sun and sand all day. The Wadi Rum desert was so unique with the sand, the mountains, the camels, the Bedouins, and the history of the Arab Revolt with Lawrence of Arabia. And the Dead Sea was very fun! I had a wonderful massage at the resort, I floated like a bar of soap in the sea! LOL.

Eli was our guide in Israel. He was very well educated on both state history and religious history. I especially loved his maps and his diagrams! He was an excellent guide everywhere we went. The Sea of Galilee was inspiring, as we visited Capernaum, the Mt of Beatitudes, and the Greek Orthodox Monastary. Jerusalem surpassed my wildest dreams, with the markets, the fantastic food, the history, the churches, and the christian sites. Akko, with its crusader castle, was so well preserved it was unbelievable! The street food in Jaffa was beyond yummy!!!

Chile and Bolivia

We had a great trip to Chile and Bolivia arranged by Emilce.
At all times her service was immaculate, and her advice was essential to the success of the holiday.
In Santiago we had a good experience with our tour guide Francisco.
Highlights were the Nayara Atacama and the great guides we had there, particularly Alexis who was a local musician who played in an Andean band.

The journey to the Bolivian border we had an excellent guide and Giovanni our Bolivian guide was excellent as well.
We would recommend the Salt hotel in Uyuni - Hotel De Sal Luna Salada.

In La Paz we were expertly guided by Grace who did a great job of showing us around this fascinating city.

We had a wonderful trip. Petra designed a terrific itinerary; modified it with our feedback. It was a great combination of ideas from her, and spur of the moment decisions we made on the trip. Slovenia is a marvelous country. We loved our experience.

When you are booking your honeymoon you want everything to be incredible and so it's nerve wracking on deciding who to book with and then thinking through the details of it all. We were blown away by the Kim Kim team and specifically our coordinator, Chiara. Our trip was absolute heaven on Earth and it was possible because of Chiara and the team. We were kept up to speed with the details through the entire planning portion and then we even got an app to use so we could get detailed information, contact information for drivers, trip itineraries etc. From the moment we stepped off the plane in Venice everything was taken care of for us. We had drivers everywhere we wanted to go, we never had an issue with a tour, a hotel booking, a flight transfer NOTHING. It allowed us to really be able to take in the experience and not stress and it felt incredible. We booked from Venice to Positano, went on tours, winery trips, boat rides, etc. Then we travelled off to Sorrento and the Isle of Capri. From there we took a flight to Santorini to end our last days of our trip. I couldn't say enough good things about this company and the way that we were treated. I highly recommend.

We had an amazing trip with Original Travels in Morocco. They did a great job bouncing ideas back and forth until we found the perfect itinerary. In some cases I wish I actually listened to them more as their insights proved to be more accurate that what I had in mind!

I specifically wanted to shout out our local guide, Karim, who took us around the entire country. His English was great and he shared a lot of insights on the sights we were seeing as well as shared about his personal life and his experience growing up in Morocco.

Some highlights of the trip included our Riad in Marrakech, our cooking class in Fez, exploring the blue city, the Mosque in Casablanca, and the dessert experience in the Sahara Desert. They also did a great job breaking up what could have been a long time in the car.

A couple of things for improvement
- Sticking to the schedule more - for example one of our activities was scheduled on a particular day but we found out it was moved to the next day. When we pushed back, due to other things we had scheduled they were able to adjust.
- The local tour guides seemed to bring us to places that encouraged purchasing items more than an actual cultural experience (rose water, leather goods, carpets). No one was pushy but it was annoying after a while and in some cases prevented us from seeing the actual sights (took us to a leather shop that had a subpar view of the tanneries)
- Timing with the local guides was sometimes off. The guide would say the tour was 4.5 hours for example but it ended up being less.

Margoth made every effort to understand what we were looking for and did an amazing job planning out the itinerary in detail. I had a mix of phone/email interactions to finalize our plans.

We had a mix of city, culture and nature in Cartagena, Medellin and Bogota. Every local guide was knowledgeable and keen to ensure that we got the full experience. The drivers too were experienced and professional.

It was fun to go to the cooking class and rum tasting in Cartagena! They were quite different experiences.

Margoth and her colleagues made excellent restaurant recommendations and were super responsive to make changes.

This is my 4th trip with KimKim and it reaffirmed why I use them. They take away the stress of planning, safety, and dealing with situations on the ground. It allows us to really enjoy the local place, people and experiences.

I highly recommend Aracanto to plan your experience.

We spent three weeks in Spain and Portugal, following the Jewels of itinerary with a few changes/additions. The cities and tour plans for each were great, we really came away with an appreciation for the countries. Marta did a great job lining up interesting tour guides and qualified drivers. As with any vacation, especially one of this length and diversity, you are going to have some issues. Marta was always available and very quick and capable of handling the necessary adjustments. We were able to relax and enjoy the experiences. Particularly enjoyed our time with Telma in Evora.

Our trip to Peru was planned to perfection. It could not have been better. The communication was impeccable, Liz responded to all my messages immediately. Every driver and every guide were on time for all excursions. All the staff in our hotel Casa San Blas were so attentive and made our stay very comfortable. All the details were handled and all we had to do was enjoy. From the food to the excursions Peru was a trip to remember.

Overall it was an amazing trip!! Krista and the entire KimKim staff that we interacted with were always extremely helpful and responsive.

Best part of using KimKim: having all of the train and excursion tickets taken care of. Loved not having to worry about train connections, or seats, or ensuring we were taking an excursion that was reputable.

One challenge with KimKim: Hotels. One two different occasions, the hotel could not find our reservation - in one instance even with the confirmation number. We ultimately figured it out - the reservations were under a KimKim employee's name - but that name didn't show up anywhere on our itinerary. I'd highly recommend adding all names associated with a trip to that individual itinerary. It creates a bit of frustration when trying to get to one's room after traveling.

We also had to pay for one of our rooms upon arrival. KimKim did refund the money quickly - thank you. One last thing on the hotels, the individual room at our last hotel as extremely small (the double was as well as but not quite as bad) - I would have paid a bit more to get a larger room. Possibly being given a few more options on hotels would be nice.

So overall, fabulous trip - loved the train ride, especially the Flam railway as well as the Fjord cruise. Funicular in Bergen was great and beautiful easy walk down.

Krista was fantastic!! Thanks to everyone for helping make a memorable trip.

We consider ourselves lucky when thinking of our trip to Portugal (everything seemed to work out better than we hoped) - but, I know this experience was less to do with luck and more to do with the effort and planning invested in our trip by Rita and her team. We had amazing guides who were generous with their time, and deeply listened to what we liked and wanted to experience and were happy to accommodat our desires with their local knowledge to deliver an amazing experience which we could never have had without their input and guidance. Rita has been phenomenal throughout. Extremely responsive and accommodating. It was hugely reassuring having her to call on, during the trip.

Jason Kearney provided us with everything we would have wanted in our itinerary. He was an incredible support throughout our trip and answered all the questions/concerns promptly. I believe his availability and willingness made our trip memorable! He was just awesome!!
We had two tour guides: Francisco (Santiago, Valparaiso) and Christian (San Pedro de Atacama). Both of them made our trip stress-free and totally enjoyable. Their knowledge of the towns, restaurants and landscapes was invaluable. We could not have asked for two better individuals ferrying us around!
We also had a guide (unfortunately, cannot recall her name) to the geysers ~ again, an outstanding source of information and and very environmentally conscious!
Overall, everyone starting with Jason worked together (including the drivers - Cristian and Jose) to make our journey in Chile an unforgettable experience!!

Both our local guides were excellent. They were knowledgeable and assisted us with transportation issues. The local tour company did not communicate clearly to them or myself about a driver from Tokyo hotel to the airport. I’m not sure where the break down in communication was. Our local guide Yumi, went beyond what I expected by giving us details about train and bus transportation to the airport in Tokyo. She even noted that a driver was not included on her itinerary.

We saw those things that were high on our list and also had the confidence that each day we would end up at a good hotel and know what we were doing the next day. Made all those "when do we leave in the morning?" conversations so easy: just look it up on Anna's schedule. Plus, all the addresses were great for inputing into our car's navigation system.

We had such a wonderful trip to Colombia thanks to David and his team. We stayed 2 nights each in Bogota, Salento, Tayrona, and Medellin. We loved the diversity in experiences from cities and cultural tours to beaches, forests, and mountains. Overall, the service was great at all hotels. We always felt safe and really appreciated that there was always a driver waiting for us during airport transfers. The only thing we would change, if possible, would be to decrease the number of flights - have direct flights instead of connections. We've written about a few highlights of the trip below:

Bogota: 1) Fabiola greeted us warmly at the airport and showed us around the highlights in the city. In addition to the various tours she guided us on, she helped me get set up with a Colombian sim card. We enjoyed learning about the city from her and also practicing our Spanish with her. 2) Highly recommend the fruit tour. The guide, Maria, is exceptionally knowledgeable about everything in the market. We loved her passion for biodiversity and our immersive experience learning about the different species of fruits. 3) We enjoyed the hike in Chingaza for beautiful plants, flowers, and landscapes, It was very muddy and rainy, which was actually a fun challenge for us!

Salento: We loved our hotel. The views were beautiful and the food was delicious. Our tour guide, Carlos, gave us a wonderful tour of the Cocora Valley, pointing out many birds and giving explanations of the plants. He showed us his family's work-in-progress DIY infusion cafe and created a delicious tea for us with herbs grown in the garden.

Tayrona: Hotel had amazing food and we enjoyed hanging out by the pool after hiking in Tayrona Park. We were happy to pick mangos from the hotel garden and eat them for dessert.

Medellin: Sebastian led us on a wonderful "transformation" tour of Medellin. We learned so much from him on the history and culture of Medellin. Highly recommend him as a guide for anyone visiting Medellin.

I seldom write reviews, but in this instance I knew that I needed to let anyone know that booking our honeymoon through this site was the best decision for us. I would recommend and will continue to do so to whoever is looking to book an international trip. We could not have asked for better communication between our specialist or the ease of traveling to multiple destinations within Greece. Aggeliki made this whole experience exceptional!! She had all the transfers already planned out to and from the ports along with airport travel, this was the most stressful part for me going into the trip, but truly ended up being a breeze because of her. We did have a small miscommunication between us and one of our drivers, but was able to quickly get in touch with Aggeliki who solved it on the spot! The planning process was so easy and she was willing to give us her honest opinion on what to skip and what not to miss!! All of her time and effort made our honeymoon a trip we truly will never forget. If you are on the fence about booking through KimKim, let my experience help persuade you. I will continue to use this company for any future international travel that we plan!!

We had a wonderful trip to France! Mathilde worked diligently to fit everything we wanted into our ambitious schedule. There was not one glitch, it was effortless and totally enjoyable which is what we wanted. Mathilde handled all the minute details and all we had to do was follow her directions. Every guide, tour, hotel, driver was vetted by Mathilde and they all get 5 stars. We traveled in France to Bayeaux, Amboise and Paris and had a trip of a lifetime!
