All the arrangements made by Hakim was very good.

Our trip advisor was bas and he was incredible to work with and easy to communicate our needs and wants for the trip my mother and I took for the first time in the Netherlands and Belgium. Kimkim is such a great trip advisor website that makes everything super easy and efficient. I would definitely 100000% use Kimkim again for another trip hopefully.

A memorable trip across Vietnam from the North to the South. Mr Thien (or “T” as he prefers to goes by) was our guide and he made this great trip even better for his knowledge, his dedication to his job and his sense of humor.

Or guide in Hue was Sammy (“Tam”) and she was also fantastic giving us a very unique perspective and a taste of salted coffee, a specialty from Hue.

The food and the people of Vietnam are truly special and we spent two amazing weeks. We wish we could have stayed longer.

This is the first time we have used kimkim to help plan our holiday and would have no hesitation in recommending to others. Lorena, our Chile travel consultant listened to the needs off our group and worked with us to come up with a set of experiences we will never forget. The attention to detail allowed us to travel extensively with ease and we were all so impressed with the level of organisation involved that allowed us to do that.

We will like to thank our guide Florin for making this trip a fantastic experience. His knowledge, patience, experience, good humor, complacency , punctuality were few of his assets. Everything he planned for us was amazing: Peles Castle, Bran Castle, Brasov City, Curtea de Arges Monastery, the Turda Salt Mine, the wooden churches, the happy cementery, the painted egg museum, Constata and the black sea, Nessebar and the beautiful city of Sofia.
We also appreciate the guide and company of Bogdan Pistritu thanks for together with Florin make this trip inmemorable.
Florin the best guide you can get!!!

Johanna and her team were amazing. We had a great time. Small issues which were taken care of promptly. Everything was well organized and communication was great. We were a big group with varying needs and her team was able to handle it all professionally and timely manner. Thank you for making this a great trip for us!!!

Chile was a fantastic country to visit. The diversity starting with the lagoons in the high regions of the Atacama desert, to the Glacier regions and mountain vistas in Patagonia and the happening city of Santiago left us spellbound. Our guides, Johanna and Kristy were amazing, patient and super helpful through out the planning and the trip.

Took a 10 day trip to Morocco with my family. Abdellah, Said and their team were amazing. The communication was great. They always were checking on us to make sure we were safe and having fun. Bachir, our driver, was unbelievable. He kept us safe on the road and taught us so much about his country and their culture. You need a driver in Morocco. There are so many cops on the roads stopping cars just because.
Abdullah and Said were able to book amazing Riads for us and such fun experiences. I just told them the type of places I wanted to stay and the types of activities we wanted to do, they took care of everything.
The Dessert experience was unforgettable. My daughter still talks about her Camel ride and riding the Quads around the dunes. Glamping in the desert was something out of this world.
The 5:45 am pick up for the Hot Air Balloon in Marrakesh was worthy. What an experience.
Hassam, our guide in Marrakesh was great. He is so knowledgeable of his culture and the history of the city. Try to make sure he is your guide.
I would like to thank all of the people that made us feel so safe and welcome. Our driver Bachir, all the people that worked in the Riads and excursions..Said, thank you for taking the time to meet us at the end of the trip to make sure we had a great time. Also, thanks for booking the Hammam on our last day in Marrakech at our Road. It was amazing. Such a great treat before we had to come home.
We would definitely recommend Abdullah, Said and his team. Work well done guys. Thank you for all the memories.

What a terrific trip for myself and my family up through Sweden and back down through Norway. Tom was an exceptional guide, answering any questions promptly (including ones concerning events outside our Kim Kim trip). Tom even followed our train movements online to make sure we got to our destinations safely. I can't recommend Kim Kim highly enough.

I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Morocco with KimKim Travel. My friends and I were looking for a trip that would allow us to experience the best of Morocco's culture, history, and natural beauty, and KimKim Travel delivered on all fronts.

Our trip was expertly planned and executed by our travel specialist, who worked with us to create a customized itinerary that perfectly suited our interests. We visited all of the major highlights of Morocco, including Casablanca, Rabat, Fes, Marrakech, and the Sahara Desert. We also had the opportunity to explore some lesser-known gems, such as the ancient city of Volubilis and the Blue City of Chefchaouen.

Throughout our trip, we were treated to the utmost in hospitality and care. Our driver Hassan was incredibly knowledgeable about Morocco and its history, and he went out of his way to make sure we had a comfortable and enjoyable journey. He also took us to some great places that we would never have found on our own.

I would highly recommend KimKim Travel to anyone looking for a trip to Morocco. They offer a wide range of tours and activities, and they will work with you to create a customized itinerary that perfectly meets your needs. I guarantee you will have an unforgettable experience with KimKim Travel.

In addition to the excellent service and planning, I would like to specifically thank our driver Hassan for his kindness and flexibility. He was always willing to answer our questions and go the extra mile to make sure we had a great time. He even drove us to the airport on our last day, which was a huge help.

Overall, I had an amazing experience with KimKim Travel and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trip to Morocco.

I started with Alberto and he helped me plan an amazing trip that was the right balance of activities and down time. While on the tour, Jean Carlo, took care of me. He helped me when there were little hiccups along the way. It was great to be able to contact him when a problem arose. He was able to smooth things out and make whatever issue that came up go away. He was great!

El Establo Mountain Hotel

Monteverde

The hotel is beautiful and in a beautiful setting. My room was in one of the buildings at the top of the hill, so I had an amazing view. From the reception up to my room is a steep climb about a mile long, so the property is not really walkable, but they do have a shuttle service that will take you anywhere you want to go on the property. I found the room itself to be beautiful, but there was only one chair in the room. It could have used a second chair and a small table. Also, the walls between the rooms are very thin and I could hear everything that went on in the next room, even quiet conversations. I used ear plugs to help me sleep.

Irene planned our trip after input from us stating our interest in ancient history and some nature experience. The tour guides at the acropolis, Delphi, and our hike on the ancient Delphi trail were excellent. We tour Mycenae and the Temple of Poseidon ourselves. Our drivers were prompt, friendly , and spoke sufficient English to add some local information. Changes had to be made and the team did accommodate us with ease. So overall we paid and received services that made our trip efficient and thorough for our given days.

We had such an amazing experience from start to finish working with KimKim and Margoth. Our trip to the Caribbean cost of Colombia was incredible!

The easy communication was so appreciated. They even arranged Spanish-speaking guides to help us get from point A to point B on our daily adventures, which while traveling with a toddler totally prevented some additional stress.

Margoth helped us plan and execute this trip flawlessly! We loved the guides and driver/services arranged for us and would love to meet them again in the future! Christian was awesome, and maybe someday we will join him for a lost city hike when our son's legs are longer. She was super easy about making changes and offering suggestions to work within our budget and the unpredictability of traveling with young kids.

Would use KimKim again in a heartbeat and recommend Margoth without hesitation!

Playa del Medio was beautiful and almost empty! Only one other couple arrived making the beach pretty exclusive. There is a restaurant that was closed while we were there, possibly only staffed on weekends, but we were able to bring our own picnic and drinks. The beach is clean and it's a short boat ride from the Neguanje park entrance. The surf was calmer and nice for swimming.

The trip was perfect. The Kimkim team went out of their way to accommodate our various needs. We had a driver the entire trip, and Kaseem was so personable, helpful and a joy to travel with. He was able to take care of our requests and also make changes when weather or other circumstances occurred. Our rooms and the van met all of our needs. Saeed from the company kept in touch with us throughout and provided assistance when needed.

I'd recommend using this company for a customized tour. They will go out of their way to make it what you want.

The tour van driver Tatto (?), who led me to Torres del Paine National Park, was also extremely helpful, offered me driving tips and a hand towel to clean up muddy lights of my rental car.

We had a wonderful trip. Eleni's suggestions were spot on and never failed to impress! Each of our guides was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and a great ambassador for Greece. Special thanks to Eleni for proactively navigating us through an itinerary change due to nationwide transportation strikes that impacted our original plans. Before we knew it, we had new hotel reservations, flight reservations, and tips for how to spend our extra day in Athens. She made the entire trip stress-free, especially the adjustments.

Amazing trip to Argentina thanks to Ana and her team. Ana was great, paid attention to all our needs and organized everything so well: flights, hotels, tours, and rides. We were on a tight schedule and everything worked out really smoothly. All the tour guides, van drivers and contact people were very kind and helpful. We visited Calafate-Perito Moreno, Iguazu Falls and Buenos Aires with our three kids. We came back home with great memories. Thank you to the crew who made it possible.

We would highly recommend Lacey from Kimkim, she really listened to what we did and didn't want to do and built our itinerary around us. She was very responsive through out our trip and answered our queries very quickly. The hotels that she chose for us worked well. All of our tour guides were excellent and Lacey's recommended tours were brilliant, we saw and did activities that we would never have done had we done our own itinerary.

The moment we decided in November 2022 that Costa Rica was going to be our honeymoon adventure vacation set for March 2023, I set out to create an itinerary that would be a blend of natural, cultural, and heart-pumping experiences that would fit our time and budget considerations. Since this would be our first visit to Costa Rica I sought the expertise from a couple of tour agencies which included kimkim. At kimkim we were introduced to Bryan, a specialist on his home country of Costa Rica. Before, during, and now, a few days returned from the trip, it's clear that planning with Bryan through kimkim was the best thing to happen for us in creating our getaway.

From the jump, Bryan listened to our ideas, asked all the right questions, made wonderful recommendations, provided incredibly prompt and personal responses to our itinerary requests and considerations, and within a short amount of time put together a personalized, 11-day, self-drive, "we can't wait to go," Guanacaste adventure.

Pura vida! We can say it now, each and every check-in along the way was flawless and anticipated by the receptionist; from car rental pick up and drop off, to each of the 4 hotels we stayed, and all 10 tours we booked.

The accommodations that fit our budget and were available at time of booking included Hacienda Guachipelin in Ricon de la Vieja; Volcano Lodge in Arenal; Fondavela in Monteverde, and Golden Palms Papagayo.

Had an incredible trip to India! Jay was very attentive and listened to my needs to build an incredible itinerary for me. He was even able to include a celebration on Holi for me to attend (when people would normally not be working) which was much appreciated and a once in a lifetime experience! My trip overall was the perfect balance of activity highlights and downtime. As a solo traveler I felt safe at all times. Had great tour guides and drivers and attentive staff greeting me and making sure I had everything I needed at each new destination. Absolutely an effortless and seamless experience! Can’t wait to book another Kim Kim adventure soon :)
