Kimkim Trip Reviews

We cannot recommend this company enough. We went on a trip with a few adults and several children, and the experience they delivered for us was simply amazing. They focused relentlessly on making sure that everything would work for us, displaying a mix of knowledge, flexibility, patience, and attention to every detail that I have never seen. From the way they set up the trip, by asking for a copy of our passports so that when we could check in hotels fairly quickly, to the way that they paid attention to every single detail including bike sizes, helmet sizes, etc, this company and their CEO Robi were totally focused on making our trip a magic experience. They took us to places that we would not have discovered on our own, and that were not flooded by tourists. The plan was molded to our preferences, the execution was very effective and adapted flexibly to our evolving needs. Can’t recommend them enough.

We had a fantastic time in Colombia, and Wendy and our wonderful guides were such a huge part of that! Wendy did a great job of designing our itinerary and responding to our requests and interests, and each of our guides-- Andrea in Bogota, Andres in Medellin, and Oscar in Cartagena-- were warm, knowledgeable, and totally organized. As a single mom of 2, I'm usually the one handling all the logistics, tickets, emergencies, et cetera. With Kim Kim, I was able to relax and just enjoy an engaging, energizing vacation. Thank you!

Diego planned a great trip for us. All the details ran perfectly and we had a trip of a lifetime! Everyone we encountered was nice but two favorites that stood out were our driver for a few legs (John I think). And our guide for the Arenal Volcano was the best guide of all our hikes. The others were great too but he was our favorite! Thank you Diego.

I can honestly say that it was one the most amazing vacation I've had.
Everything was perfect from the beginning to the end.. Elmice did a great job with the different activities.. Every day was well planned and well organized.. My family and I were thrilled and really enjoyed every city we visited. Elmice made every city special for us.
It was our perfect family vacation with my 18 year old son and my 20 y daughter and my cousins (8 total)
Our guides in each city were well informed, very nice and very friendly.
I give 5* to Elmice and her team.

Sigurður put together a great itinerary for our 2 week road trip through Iceland. I am a professional photographer, so he recommended many great locations for epic photos and some that were off the beaten path like the Westfjords. He also recommended several great tours like snorkeling the Silfra Fissure and the Katla cave hike. Sigurður was also great about communication before, during and after our trip. We were very pleased with the entire experience!

Amalia, our local specialist, planned the most unforgettable honeymoon trip we could have ever asked for. She was attentive to every detail and thoughtful in choosing activities that both my husband and I would enjoy. We wanted a delicate balance between fun excursions and time to relax and explore independently. Amalia did an excellent job of communicating with us to create this perfect itinerary and was flexible in making any changes we requested and answering all the questions we had along the way!

We were fortunate to have 3 weeks in Greece and wanted to experience places and sights that many tourists may sometimes overlook. Upon arriving in Greece we were gifted Ouzo, some delicious Greek mountain tea, and provided with all the documents, tickets, and information we would need for our trip from Amalia's team. We began our time in Athens and soon took an amazing road trip through the mainland to visit places like Nafplio and Olympia. Our next stops were the beautiful islands of Zakynthos and my family's home island of Kefalonia. Amalia created a detailed itinerary for each day of our trip and perfectly coordinated with local businesses and travel companies to ensure our travels between locations were smooth and stress-free.

Our itinerary included incredible suggestions for restaurants, must-see attractions, detailed information, and insightful history of each location. One of the absolute coolest parts of what Amalia put together was that it was all accessible through an app called Vamoos. This app enabled us to get real-time updates on flights, ferries, and direct links to maps and directions needed for our trip.

The excursions picked and booked by Amalia were beyond delightful. Each guide and company member we encountered was courteous, kind, and very knowledgeable. We also enjoyed the balance of private excursions and a few group excursions where we had the pleasure of meeting other people from all over the world. Some of our favorites included a private guided Acropolis tour and horseback riding on the beach.

Each of our hotel accommodations blew us away - we had the most incredible views and were always located near many shops, restaurants, and attractions. Our top hotels included 18 Micon St in Athens, The Gambello Hotel in Nafplio, Hotel Europa in Olympia, and our favorite hotel was The Balcony Hotel in Zakynthos, which came with a panoramic sea-view balcony.

The rental cars we drove during our stay were perfectly sized, brand-new, and from companies with kind and responsive staff members. We always felt that we were their top priority and were thankful to have been met upon arrival in each location and transported in a timely manner to and from the airport or other locations.

Amalia and her team were always available if we had any questions or needed assistance. We are truly thankful to her and the trip she created and came home with a lifetime of memories as newlyweds!

Our family really enjoyed our 12 day trip with Hassan all around Morocco. Before we left, Yassine helped us to design a trip that took into consideration a 10 year old boy who was not as interested in architecture and culture as his parents. Once there, Hassan always made sure we got everywhere we wanted to go and was great at finding some non-traditional things -like skipping regular sights to spend a few hours at a park playing basketball with some local kids. We had seen them earlier and Hassan drove back and helped introduce our son to the group and hung out for hours while they played and showed our son around. Hassan also gave us a card with our son’s allergies to show restaurants and invited us to a traditional break fast with him. It was really a special experience getting to travel Morocco with Hassan!

Francesca put together the exact Itinerary that we had envisioned. We saw and experienced Icelands wonderful sights and experiences so easily with the guidance given by Francesca’s daily itinerary. The Lodging selected was in the perfect locations to complete the exciting days travels.

The trip to Italy and Greece is one of our most memorable trips. Eleni understood our requirements perfectly and arrange the stays, travel and other arrangements to perfection.

We were given choices of unique farm stays, borgos which we would not have found otherwise. Especially in Greece, we would have never ventured into Meteora and Zagori region without Eleni's inputs. That part of the world is magical and is one which we would have never figured out without the advice of a local specialist like Eleni.

She was very patient with my multiple queries and made changes as needed.

Would love to travel to Greece and Italy again with her support.

Best wishes

Johanna and her team did a fantastic job in setting up a great trip for first timers like us. They were thoroughly patient and ever helping in last minute schedule changes. An experience we will cherish for ever.

Duncan was a fantastic guide. He listened to our preferences and clearly tailored a trip to our desires. He spaced the hotels well to keep the driving very manageable each day, but at the same time we covered a lot of ground and felt like each day we still saw a lot! His food and hike recommendations were great. He was responsive and helped give us options to adjust our trip if we needed based off how the day was going.

Our favorite moments of the trip were:

Glymur waterfall hike
Blue Lagoon
Driving around the perimeter of the Snaefllsnes Peninsula checking out the recommended stops and coast hike along the way
Reynisfjara black sand beach
Fjadrargljufur canyon
Hjorliefshofdi Cape and Cave hike
Staftafefell Glacier Hike
Diamond Beach
Reykjavik walking culinary tour

It was a truly amazing and memorable trip that my wife and I will cherish!

Our trip to Italy was AMAZZZING! Thanks to Andrea's help, it was flawless. I will always recommend and use KimKim when I plan international trips. Every detail from hotel choices, train schedules, car pickups and the selection of tours were impeccable. Andrea checked in with us multiple times throughout our trip and it was comforting knowing that Andrea was a phone call away if we had any issues. Andrea is extremely professional as was the entire Kim Kim crew. I could not be happier with our trip and Andrea's recommendations at every level. Thanks for helping our family plan the trip of a lifetime! You are aweome!

Day trip to Capri Island from The Amalfi Coast - small group

In retrospect, I would have preferred to have rented a more luxurious faster boat. The captain was excellent, but the boat was not very comfortable. It was a long ride, over an hour and a half, and the seats were not very comfortable. I had a better experience in Nice renting a faster and more comfortable boat. We did enjoy swimming in the grottos, but I should have selected a more comfortable boat.

This past July my wife, daughter, and I enjoyed the most incredible trip through central and southern Italy. Francesca, our travel specialist, arranged wonderful hotels, engaging tours, and very reliable transfers. Our trip began in Rome at the 47 Boutique Hotel which, while small, was modern, charming, and ideally located. We were a short walking distance from Trastevere and all the sights in Centro Storico. Then, in Sorrento, we stayed at the Grand Hotel President which had stunning views of the coast. While there, we took trips to Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello with Colomba from I Go Travel. Colomba could not have been more friendly, and she was wonderful with our 10 year old daughter. We were also driven by her brother Giuseppe from Naples to Sorrento and then from Sorrento to Pescara. I would highly recommend Giuseppe (also from I Go Travel) for any transfer travel needed in Central/Southern Italy. In Pescara, the final leg of our trip, we stayed at Villa Maria Hotel which had gorgeous grounds, a delicious restaurant, and a number of beautiful pools. While in Pescara, we got to meet Francesca and thank her in-person for helping to arrange the ideal itinerary. From the planning to the trip itself, she was available, collaborative, and highly responsive. We will be forever grateful to her and all the guides for helping create a trip rich with such beautiful memories.

so fun, drivers were timely, hotel(s) were great and it was all reasonably priced. Love it and I'll be back!

This was tough to judge. Would like to give 4 1/2 stars. We had some issues and frustrations, particularly at the start of the trip. But - those all seemed to stem from the fact that KimKim had to swap out our representative a day or two before our trip started. As a result, some things got dropped or mis-communicated. Once we got further into the trip, things were much more smooth. All in all, it meant our arrival and first night were bumpy, and the start of the second day was messy, but after that, things were pretty great. So, summary advice: DO use KimKim, they put together a terrific vacation. But if they change out your contact/specialist, DO take some time to review the trip details with the new person, particularly things that were in emails or chat that didn't get added to the actual trip plan document.

Hotel Reviews

Hotel Playa Espadilla

Manuel Antonio

Great vibe, great location, lovely little pool, just a really good fit for us. Monkeys, lizards and exotic birds on the grounds all the time. The restaurant doesn't have the deepest menu, but the food is _fantastic_. Would stay here again, no question. One small warning: in the restaurant, particularly at breakfast, avoid the corners of the sitting area furthest from the kitchen. The flies there are insufferable. Deeper into the seating area, things are fine.

Authenticity & Character

Definite Pura Vida sensibility. Everything was relaxed and smiley.

Location

Easy walk to the beach, but not so close that traffic and noise are an issue.

Staff

The restaurant folks were universally wonderful, in particular.

Cleanliness & Comfort

Las Caletas Lodge

Puntarenas

It's perfect if it's what you are looking for. This isn't about creature comforts. The path up from the boats to the hotel is steep, slippery and long. You'll be staying in a stifling hot cabin or a noisy, simple platform tent. Everything gets damp and stays that way. Meals are picked for you - there's no menu. No TV, viable internet or cell coverage. But if you are here to be here, to see Osa and Corcovado park, you're in the right place. Everything is astonishingly, endlessly beautiful. Scarlet Macaws nest in trees right on the grounds. Troops of Howler and Capuchin monkeys wander through all day and night. The forest, the ocean, the flowers -- this is the place to sit and soak it all in. If you want to see Osa, and be a part of Osa, this is a great place.

Authenticity & Character

It was like living in Corcovado, but with shelter, gourmet food and a fridge full of soda you could raid at any time.

Location

I mean - it's right there in Osa.

Staff

You pretty much only see one person (at least during the off-season), so if he's busy or resting, there really isn't any staff.

Cleanliness & Comfort

Cleanliness and Comfort are relative. This isn't the W. But they keep the common area squeaky clean, and the cabins/tents are well-maintained. No silk sheets, but there are fans and good pillows. Picture elevated camping, more than hotel living.

Monteverde Country Lodge

Monteverde

Authenticity & Character

Maybe 4 1/2 stars? It's not one of the Monteverde hotels that is nestled into the wilderness, but it's not far from some good green spaces. The decor and overall tone is very Pura Vida, including some lovely hanging vines and fountains behind the restaurant, and a peaceful courtyard.

Location

Hard to beat Monteverde/Santa Elena in general.

Staff

Staff was pretty thin, clearly understaffed at mealtimes and early mornings at the desk. Likely due to it being the off-season, I'd expect things to be more fully covered during peak.

Park Inn San José by Radisson

San José

We went here at the start of a trip, got in late, left early. Didn't really get to evaluate much about the hotel, but what we saw was good. Five stars because they were accommodating (despite our late arrival). Helpful (which we needed because we were sleep-deprived and exhausted, and patient (which we needed because we were grumpy from the delays and other complications that made us late.

Authenticity & Character

Just a business hotel, but a good one. Nothing surprising, which is what you want in a business hotel.

Cleanliness & Comfort

Auténtico Hotel

San José

We weren't here very long, arrived fairly late and left fairly early. We enjoyed our stay, but there are couple of things worth mentioning: * This is a slightly odd layout. Everything wraps around a smallish courtyard. The pool area covers most of the courtyard, and the restaurant seating spills out into the courtyard. The result is that everything feels kind of packed together, and you if your room opens to the inside area, you can hear pretty much everything in the building. It's cool and exciting for large groups, who get to be "together" even when they are in different places. I saw a couple of such groups here, and they were clearly having a great time. You might enjoy it less if your schedule depended on getting some sleep earlier than 10pm or later than 7am. * The restaurant was pretty great, with a deeper and more subtle dinner menu than your average hotel. * It's tough to find, even for San Jose. Parking is even trickier - it's across the street from the hotel, and you really have to plan in order to be able to get there without circling a few blocks.

Authenticity & Character

Very San Jose. It fits in well with the rest of the Central Valley. Don't expect it to feel terribly "Pura Vida," but it has a clean, professional, polished vibe.

Location

Not the easiest place to get to, not a lot of walkable places worth seeing, but a short drive from plenty of spots you might want to see.

Staff

The staff (along with the food!) made dinner a particularly memorable and positive experience.

Cleanliness & Comfort

As mentioned elsewhere, everything feels polished and professional and clean. It's not the Ritz, but it may feel like the top of the next tier. That's wonderful and impressive, considering the reasonable prices. You'll feel like you are getting more than your money's worth.

Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Nature Hike

Costa Rica

We did nature hikes in Monteverde, Corcovado, and here. Much to our surprise, Manuel Antonio was the clear winner for variety of wildlife, educational content, and overall enjoyment. Coati, monkeys, huge spiders, snakes, a variety of birds, lizards, and an up-close encounter with a sloth. Don't miss this hike!

Quality of Experience

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Every guide we had in Costa Rica was insanely knowledgeable. Even by that standard, though, our guide in Manuel Antonio was amazing. He was able to track and film moving animals using a scope (which I've always heard was impossible), while delivering a monologue about the scientific details for that animal, some things to look for to find them, etc. It was like traveling with David Attenborough and his film crew.

Transport

One of the great things about Manuel Antonio: the park is super close to the tourist area. We were close enough to walk, and walk back afterwards.

Horseback Riding in the Cloud Forest

Monteverde

I have a life-long, irrational fear of horses. I agreed to do this only as a trade-off to get my kids to try some other things on our trip. Much to my utter surprise, I had a great time. Our guides were patient and very clear with their instructions. They kept a pace that we could manage. We went through terrain that we never could have navigated on foot, and it was just amazing. I got my horse all the way up to a trot a couple of times. I can't say I'm cured. Horses still seem crazy to me. But, if they could deliver 2 hours of exhilaration for me, I expect they can do that for just about anyone.

Quality of Experience

Really cool extra touch - at the end, they fed us some home-made snacks, and let us try making cane juice from sugar cane. Not totally sure what that had to do with horses, but it was a great way to cool off and get refreshed.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Transport

On-time. Vehicle was well-maintained and seemed safe. Driver was friendly.

Walking tour to Corcovado National Park in Sirena Station

Costa Rica

Some great wildlife! Can't complain about that, really. We saw big coati family, a couple of agouti, a tapir, lots and lots of monkeys. But, I suspect we could have seen a lot more, and would have on a normal tour, but something odd was going on when we were there. Our guide spent a lot of time just _waiting_. Not sure for what. We waiting 15 minutes before getting started, then walked back and forth over the same 100 feet of trail for another 30 minutes with no obvious explanation. We paused and talked to another guide for 15 minutes later. We hung around at Sirena Station for much, much longer than planned. We headed back to the boats 20 minutes early. The end result is that we only spent about 90 minutes actively looking and exploring. I think this was unusual, some mix-up. Maybe a guide didn't show up? In any case, I'd still strongly recommend this tour, but I think we caught them on an off day.

Quality of Experience

As noted above, we did an odd amount of stalling and waiting. That was the only negative. I suspect this was a one-time event, not their normal pattern. The guide seemed unhappy with the waiting, too.

Food

After the boat ride back, they took us to a great local place, and fed us simple, authentic, delicious food. A great way to end the trip.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Very knowledgeable. Maybe a bit preachy - but in an incredibly well-intentioned way. Didn't get in the way of us seeing or enjoying anything.

Transport

Young, spry folks may not mind. Older folks and younger kids may find the long boat ride, and the wading to/from the boats, to be taxing. Just be ready to spend a lot of energy on the trip. The actual hike is gentle.

Zip Line (Canopy) Monteverde

Monteverde

I wanted to give this one star, because I was terrified the whole time and never really got to the point where I enjoyed myself, but that's just me and my fear of heights. The rest of my group had an amazing time. The guides were fantastic. They were very visibly obsessed with safety, which helped keep my panic to a minimum. They joked around with the kids, were patient with me and my wife, and generally did everything conceivable to maximize our enjoyment. Not their fault that it didn't work for me. Also - they used our cameras to get phenomenal number of great videos. I suspect we'll be watching those for decades.

Quality of Experience

For me, the highest achievable bar was: get through it without a debilitating panic attack. Checked that box. For the rest of our group, the trip was a thrill.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

They worked so, so hard to make things safe and enjoyable. Dedicated, skilled, friendly and energetic.

Transport

There was confusion with our initial pick-up, and it seemed like the driver couldn't find our hotel, but then tried to blame the issue on us. It was weird and unpleasant, but really a minor blip overall.

Snorkeling at Isla del Caño Biological Reserve

Drake Bay

I tired out after the first set of dives, but the kids kept going for another hour or more. Lots of great fish (including pufferfish!), sharks, some folks saw turtles. For me, the highlight was floating peacefully while hearing whales sing somewhere out at sea.

Food

The tour included a stop at a local restaurant afterwards. Simple fare, but delicious and authentic. Definitely a high note.

Nothing to be done, probably, but that boat ride is rough on older folks' backs and younger children's patience.

We had the most amazing time exploring Morocco with our guide (now someone we consider our friend and brother) Faysal! Not only is he so incredibly knowledgeable, but he is one of the warmest, kindest people we have ever met. He connected with every member of our family, and even arranged a special birthday dinner for one of the members of our group—with the band singing happy birthday and waitstaff bringing a cake with sparklers.☺️ We cannot say enough good things about Faysal, truly.

Our city guides, Hafid, Hanan, and Navid (sorry if I spelled his name wrong) were also very knowledgeable and a pleasure to tour with.

Thank you, Original Travel, from the bottom of our hearts, in helping organize a trip of a lifetime in beautiful, magical Morocco. So appreciate how flexible you all were with some of the changes we requested before and during the tour. We will always have a special place in our hearts for Morocco and its people.

We cannot describe how happy we were with the level of professionalism and attentiveness we had working with kimkim. Andrea and Giustino took excellent care of us virtually. If ever we had a question they were right there to answer us. They made sure we had everything we needed, hotels, train tickets, restaurant recommendations, excursions, etc. Perfection. Truly.

The experience they booked us was better than we could have hoped. Our guides were excellent, especially Isadora in Bologna. She was very knowledgeable and a blast to spend the day with. Peter at the Hotel Gardena was very helpful and a hoot. Everyone at the family owned and operated Hotel Reginella in Positano were lovely. We would definitely stay with them again. And we cannot forget the boys on the boat to Capri. They made the day super fun. We really did have a trip of a lifetime. Turning 50 in Italy was a dream come true.

My sister was so impressed with kimkim she is booking her Argentina trip with them.

Thank you so very much Andrea for being so wonderful. We hope to work with you again someday.

Jennifer, Jeralyn, and Melissa

Everyone involved was very helpful and patient. Any problems I had during the trek were easily corrected, communication was very good Eve while on the hike.

Thanks for an amazing journey to Iceland 🇮🇸
