Balthali Village Trek - 5 Days

Oct 30 - Nov 5, 2018
We were doing the EBC trail and had to be evacuated due to my husband getting high altitude sickness and sent a request on Kimkim for an alternative for the remainder of our stay in Nepal and got a promt response from Amanda with an excellent description of our trip and great service from her in all respects. We had a great experience, loved all the hotels on our route except one but I suspect that the options were rather limited as we booked our trip with almost no notice. The guide and porter were lovely, their English a little limited but that did not cause any problems.
A lovely time!
Hi Inga, I'm glad it worked out, as you mentioned on short notice, so your time left in Nepal wasn't wasted after having to be evacuated from your other trek. Yes you're quite right that options for accommodation are limited in some places, particularly compared some of the resorts you stayed in which are very nice.
Thanks and until next time!

Nov 6 - Nov 9, 2018
Everything was great especially our wonderful driver Mohammad who was very informative about the areas we were visiting as well as Jordan in general. We would have liked a bit more time at the dead sea as we arrived at 230 pm and left at 8am the next day. It was a wonderful experience except for our hotel in Petra , the Candles hotel is an absolute dump. We were initially given a room I wouldn't have housed a dog in and the replacement was much better but still way below the standard expected.
Dear Pip,
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and for traveling via In2Jordan!!
I hope we've inspired you to discover more of this beautiful part of the world.
All the best,

And they both had detailed knowledge of the specific places we visited … being Otavalo, Quito, the Avenue of the Volcanoes, Baños, Alausí and Cuenca.
Both spoke excellent English.
Lenin was particularly good when it came to knowing when to have a break, etc or comfort stop.
Overall the trip was a memorable experience and we would recommend KimKim. Suggested... Read more

We had a great experience. The booking process and all preparation felt very good. Good information and checklist for equipment.
The highlight of the whole trip was Chhepal, he was very friendly, knowledgeable and also curious about us. I really liked that he also made a good example pickup up trash along the trek.....
The porters was also very nice and friendly and made a good job helping out with food in the evenings and mornings.
The trek was excellent for our boy. The was no hurry and made it to the the houses by walking in our own pace.
Hi Peter, thank you for taking out your time and sharing your experience with us. It was a pleasure meeting your family and I hope to see you all in the coming days.

Our family of five tried KimKim.com for the first time to help us plan our one week trip to Jordan.
Carmen showed great flexibility and willingness to adapt to our (changing) requirements until we had an itinerary fitting our wishes and budget.
On site in Jordan, things worked nicely and without hickups with regards to booked activities, over night stays and drivers/guides.
All in all a very good experience!
Thank you

Oct 29 - Oct 31, 2018
There were surprises. One was how long the travel took. Knowing the time frame better in advance would have settled some of our mild anxiety. We were surprised it took all day to get to Wadi Rum and arrived almost at dusk. But the camel ride was waiting and everything ended up perfectly.
Our guide was very good, but she held the mike too close to her mouth and some of her narrative was distorted by the sound on the bus, but... Read more
Hi Robert,
My sincerest apologies about the transfer on the first day, I should have indeed calculated more time, as it takes longer with a bus. As already mentioned to Suzanne, as I am usually dealing with individuals in normal cars. But, I am happy you enjoyed your trip anyways, and especially that you got your backpack again!
Greetings & all the best,

Bhutan was an incredible adventure and one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Vishal and Sonam put together a great trip!! I feel like Migmar and Gem were not only the best driver/guide in the whole country but lifelong friends as well. I had a great time and highly recommend Vishal and his team
Dear Luke,
Thank you for this opportunity to build lifelong friendship with us and off course Gem and Migmar.
We are glad to hear you had an incredible adventure and the kingdom lived up to your expectation.
We look forward to organizing yet another adventure in not too distant future.
With best regards Sonam

I'm very grateful to Marianne and Carmello and the kimkim team behind them for their patience with my very specific interests and their continuing effort to find matches. Minori, on the Amalfi coast, was just the right size, the Hotel Lucia was simple and impeccable, local bus service to other coastal cities was as promised and their transfer arrangements spot on. I'm an experienced solo traveler but new to this part of Italy and wanted a little local insight beyond what's on the internet. I'll use kimkim again and recommend it to others.

A Special Thanks to Diana (our assign local guide) she did the extra miles for us ensuring that all small details were met along the way.
I would strongly recommend KimKim !!

As I said, the trip was extremely well organized to cater for the two of us. Neither of us are young but we are both fairly energetic still. The activities, visits, walks suited us very well. Vishal constantly kept in contact with our guide to make sure everything ran smoothly for us.
We were both very pleased... Read more

We did not go much on Ragusa, this was part due to long trip after previous days journey, plus when we got there we had to search for information office, get town map etc. Maybe KimKim could provide this sort of info within welcoming pack, details of sites where not staying at hotel. Also checking of recommendations the week before would be advisable, the soap museum was closed and also website said booking required for visit. Yes we could of looked on website... Read more
Mardi Himal Trek
Nepal

Oct 14 - Oct 21, 2018
Our Sherpa Lhakpa was great and the porter was excellent. The trip was a good trip for us - not too hard. The accommodation along the way was mostly good apart from Low Camp and High Camp where the toilet facilities were poor and the fire/heater were not turned on at these places even though everyone was cold. The accommodation in Sidhing was brilliant.
It was great to be met and farewelled by Ngima - the parting gift was a lovely touch.
Hi Maria,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I am glad that you had a wonderful Trek and you are happy with the services provided our staffs. I will look forward to seeing you soon in near future for your next trip to Nepal.
Best regards,
Ngima and NMMT family

We had a fantastic trek for our honeymoon and would highly recommend Amanda, our guide Tendu Sherpa and the entire Himalayan Trails team. Amanda was so responsive and helpful in planning our adventure - and went above and beyond to track down my bag that arrived late from our airlines and helicoptered it to the Himalayas to meet us a few days along our trek - really grateful! We have already recommended them to our friends!
Hey Clare, many thanks for your 5 star review, I think it was part luck in being able to get your bag up to you, but 100% our pleasure!
Lovely to meet you both, thanks for the recommendation and we'd love to have you here again!
Cheers,
Amanda

Oct 16 - Oct 20, 2018
The trip was a blast. Our driver Amjad was personable and professional. My only critique is that there was not enough time to do this trip properly. If I did it again, I would skip the Wadi Rum and spend more time in the other locations. We spent a long time driving just for a couple of hours touring the Wadi Rum. Otherwise, it is a good overview of some of the spectacular highlights of Jordan.
Hi Bill,
Thank you so much for your kind review! It was lovely having you here in the country. I'll pass on your kind words to Amjad as well.
We hope to have inspired you to come back to this beautiful part of the world and explore even more of the country.
All the best and thank you for traveling with In2Jordan!

Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate what you would have expected of me, as I strive for continuous improvement and service excellence!
Having said that, reading your review it seems that:
- you thoroughly enjoyed the experiences (of which all but one were in the nature and villages outside Heraklion city),
- everything was well organized, your guides were great, and communication was timely and attentive to your needs,
- still, you are disappointed that you ended up in... Read more
