Reecca was so helpful from the initial planning stage, to the end and took all the pressure off of us for deciding on where to go, what to do, booking and execution of all the details. She had a number of phone calls with us beforehand to make sure we were crafting the perefect trip that included everything we wanted. Our trip included several different desitnations (island hopping in greece) packed into a short amount of time. It was not simple to plan and we were very impressed with the seamlessness of all of the travel logistics, airport pickups, hotel bookings, etc. Rebecca was incredibly responsive throughout the entire trip for questions about anything that came up and she was a pleasure to work and communicate with.

Absolutely would reccomend to anyone considering using KimKim/Rebecca for a trip to Greece or elsewhere! We will certainly be doing so again in the future!

This is one of the most beautiful and memorable hotels of our trip, set on a lush landscape reminiscent of a time gone by. The accommodations are beautiful and luxurious, and make you feel as if you are living as a Welsh royal. The furnishings are beautifully restored, and the main house fireplaces and lounging areas make you feel as if you are at home. The restaurant chef makes incredible, sustainable meals with produce grown in their garden. It is a special place, and we'll definitely be back!

Having been to the changing of the guards many times as a child, youth, etc., i was looking for a better experience to share with my husband for his first time to London, and this does not disappoint! The guide was amazingly knowledgeable and enabled us to enjoy the ceremonial aspects of the changing of the guards, rather than just stand in front of the gates and "wait" for the guards to change locations. We enjoyed the music, the array of different guards and their various roles/dress, etc.

We had a wonderful time touring Morocco with Youness! He made the trip a lot of fun for us. It was nice to have a reliable local driving us; it made it so that we could focus on exploring and site seeing, without having to worry about the logistics. He also introduced us to some great new music and was up for some good laughs along the way. He took us too some hidden gems, including an excellent place to by dates. It really was fantastic to have someone local who could direct us to the best restaurants, coffee spots, clean bathrooms, etc. I was really impressed how he well he knew all the areas we toured and was always ready to take us to the next cool spot to explore. He showed us how lovely and kind the people of Morocco are, both with our first hand experience with him, and by our interactions with others along the journey. He also made sure we ate the best of what Morocco offers! Olives, dates, warm breads, goat cheese,
so many tagiens and of course couscous Friday. Thank you Youness!

My favorite place on the trip was Fes. The city was beautiful and the blue everywhere was really spectacular, especially from the view at our hotel, Dar Jasmine. I would love to return to both the city and the hotel. We had an excellent day tour with Zarah, who knew the city well and clearly loved where she is from. Having her take us through the Medina was a real treat; she navigated it perfectly and explained the different sections as we explored. She also took us to an excellent place for street food / kabobs where many locals were eating. The Medina in Fes had something for everyone; we were looking for high quality rugs and other gifts and Zarah was able to help us find what we were looking for. We also really enjoyed seeing the pottery made outside of the Medina.... and definitely bought a few beautiful pieces that we will have forever.

The Medina in Marrakech was also a lot of fun; it was much larger, busier and had more energy than Fes, which was part of the experience and the fun. We had another excellent day tour through this Medina with Ahmed, who filled us in on both the history and current happenings, along with helping us navigate the maze and find the types of markets we were looking for.

Thank you Youness and the kimkim team!

The hidden gems Youness introduced you to, from excellent date places to wonderful local cuisine, showcase the depth of his local knowledge. It's clear that he ensured you got to savor the best Morocco has to offer, from olives to couscous Friday.

It's wonderful to hear about your favorite place on the trip, Fes, and how the beauty and vibrant blue colors left a lasting impression. Your experience with Zarah's guided tour through the Medina in Fes and the pottery-making outside the Medina sounds like a unique and enriching experience.

Marrakech's bustling Medina also had its charm, and Ahmed's day tour added historical context and helped you navigate the lively maze.

On behalf of Youness and the kimkim team, we're grateful for your kind words and delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful journey. If you ever decide to return or explore new destinations, we're here to assist you. Wishing you more incredible adventures and beautiful memories in the future!

My Nepal trip via local connection with Nepal Myths and Mountain Trails (NMMT) was great and rewarding. The local connection with Ngima D , who organized my trekking journey to Everest base camp, made the trip stress free and absolutely one of my favorite trip. I appreciate the clear communications between Nigma, his team and I, any issues were addressed immediately. My trip was approximately 20 days, long trips can have few instances that could derail the trip, however, Ngima D Nuru (guide ) and the porter , Nigma T, made my trip very enjoyable and worry free. Nuru was an excellent guide, his energy was always positive and encouraging. I was concerned about altitude sickness , but being with Nuru, he looked after my health as well; asking how I feel everyday, gave suggestions on food, warm water, tea, proper hydration. Ngima T, the porter, would sometimes trekked ahead , dropped his bag at the lodge/hotel, then trek back down and assist with my backpack because some sections were difficult and strenuous. I was able to avoid high altitude sickness that would've prevented trekking to EBC and I was also able to trek to Kalapathra , to have a 360 view of Mt. Everest and the surrounding mountain ranges. I did this trip as a solo traveler, being able to share moments with the local expert, guide and porter, made the trip fun and exciting , because I learned so much about the culture and history of Nepal, especially, the sherpas. Ngima D , took me out for dinner and lunch during my last couple days as I rest up to return home. This trip has been excellent thanks to Ngima D, Nuru, and Nigma T, who made it so enjoyable and memorable. I hope to return to Nepal when I am ready for another challenge.

We truly enjoyed our trip to Geneva, Switzerland and Chamonix, Annecy, and Lyon, France. Mathilde, our local specialist did a fine job planning just the right mix of activities with down time to relax. The hotels she chose for us were conveniently located to the attractions we wanted to visit, and all featured comfortable rooms, and wonderful breakfasts. The Edelweiss Hotel in Geneva was filled with local color, including rustic Swiss mountain lodge decor and a musician in its restaurant who sang, yodeled, played the accordion and the long mountain horn of the region. What fun! A friendly driver picked us up at the hotel and drove us to our next destination, Chamonix.
We loved Chamonix! It's a very picturesque town, where we were guided by the excellent Aude, who helped us to understand the rich heritage of the town. We were in awe of the jaw-dropping vistas seen from l'Aiguille du Midi. Guide Armony accompanied us up the mountain on the cable car, and showed us the various levels and viewing points along the way. Without her guidance, we wouldn't have experienced half of the sights from the mountain. She was wonderful! In Chamonix, a driver picked us up and took us to Annecy, about an hour away. Going by car was super convenient.
In Annecy, we were reunited with Aude, who had shown us around Chamonix. Again, she was friendly and informative. It was Sunday, a beautiful day, and the streets of the town were packed! Aude knew how to negotiate the narrow streets and get us samples of local foods so that we could experience the tastes as well as the ambiance of this very charming town. In our free time, we took boat tours of both Lake Geneva and Lake Annecy, both incredibly picturesque. We were blessed the whole time with sunny skies and mild temperatures.
We left Annecy and took the train to Lyon. From the station, we took a taxi to the meeting point where we joined a group to take the Beaujolais Golden Stones tour. There were 2 vans, each with 8 tourists and a guide. We rode for about 40 minutes through beautiful hills and picturesque towns, then stopped at a lovely overlook where our guides Clémence and Agathe told the story of the area's heritage in wine production, and poured samples of white, rosé and red wines of the region. The served delicious croissants and pastries to accompany the wine. We then proceeded to a gorgeous village called Oingt that dated from the Middle Ages, and on to Domaine de fond-Vieille, vineyards and winery. The proprietor, Dominique showed us his vines and explained how the wine is produced. We then sampled his wines, white, rosé and red along with delicious cheeses and charcuterie of the region. We had plenty of time in the vans to chat with our fellow tourists, and enjoyed getting to know people from the Netherlands, Japan, New Zealand, the UK, and Canada.
The next day we wandered Lyon, taking the funicular up to the high town, visiting the Basilica at the top, and the Roman ruins of Lugundum. A delicious déjeuner at the Rooftop restaurant of Christian Tetedoie overlooking Lyon way was the perfect way to end our visit.
Thank you to Mathilde for all your hard work, and to Amandine for helping when Mathilde was on vacation. The next time we travel to Europe, we will definitely use Kimkim to help plan our adventure!

Where to start describing our wonderful Italy vacation. Ina with KimKim did a great job in the planning process and was very helpful in making our dream trip come true. Total of 11 days with stays in Rome, a Tuscany Villa and Amalfi. Every detail was laid out with precision and went off without a hitch. I can't tell you how much stress was relieved by the seamless execution. I think we only had to contact the CareTeam twice and they were quick to reply and address any question or small change. All the drivers that picked us up and took us from point A to B were always on time and professional. Our train tickets were all provided and the timing worked well every time. Car rental was arranged and met every expectation. We had private tours of Pompeii, Capri and the Colussim as well as a cooking class. Pompeii was definitely my favorite, our guide had a passion and extensive knowledge that she shared and made the tour amazing. All the recommendations for sites, walking tours and restaurants during our self guided time were spot on. It saved a lot of time so we were not doing all the research.
Most of the people in Italy were awesome and engaging. A few not as much. Food in the 3 different regions was different - most very good, some ok. The boat trip from Patisano to Capri was a little long. Started at 9am and we got back about 6:30 pm. It was absolutely beautiful!! Our stop on Capri for lunch could have been a little earlier, maybe around 12 or 1 instead of 2 or 3. Bring snacks with you.
Overall fantastic memories and Thank you for working with us to make it happen

Just returned from our fabulous tour of Morocco! We were met at Casablanca Airport by our trip Driver/Guide, Samir who not only most knowledgeable about Morocco but an expert driver who managed the sometimes tricky roads of Morocco with ease. I should mention this is our third visit to Morocco with the first one being only 55 years ago. Obviously things have changed and for the better since then.
After a short stay in Casablanca we headed to Chefchaouen a picturesque town on the side of the Atlas mountains. A bit too vertical for people our age but we would not have missed it for anything.
Loved Fez and our gorgeous hotel. Spent two nights there and could have spent many more.
Now on to the desert with a two hour camel ride to the Luxury Camp with the friendliest people you every met. We have made good friends with people like Mustapha and the others. If you have been on a camel before a two hour ride is great but as a beginner you may want to only make it a half hour ride.
After a one night stop in Boumaine Dades high in the most gorgeous mountains you have ever seen, it was on to Marrakesh for three nights. Again one beautiful hotel ideally situated with great meals. My wife is most talkative and found that all the people she talked to were very friendly with some even giving her a kiss goodbye.
Our last stop in Morocco was Essaouira at the Atlantic coast of Morocco. A beautiful seaside town with cool breezes and most friendly people at the hotel we stayed.
We are every tired but would do it again at the drop of a hat.
Many thank to Kimkim, Original Travels, Mohamad, Said, Samir, Meryem, Mustapha and all the others that made our trip one to remember forever

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your excellent management of our 27th anniversary reunion trip to Goa. The entire experience, from trekking to the waterfall, fishing, BBQ dinner, accommodation, transport, and dining, was absolutely fantastic, and we all had an amazing time.

Your impeccable planning and attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly throughout the trip. The trek to the waterfall was exhilarating, and it allowed us to reconnect with nature and appreciate the beauty of Goa. The fishing experience was equally enjoyable, filled with excitement and laughter as we cast our lines and reeled in our catches.

The BBQ dinner at Calamari was exceptional. The mouthwatering food, cozy ambiance, and joyous company made for a truly remarkable evening. We savored delicious grilled delicacies while reminiscing about old memories and creating new ones. It was a delightful experience that brought us all closer together as we danced to the music

Additionally, the choice of accommodation was good. The facilities were comfortable, clean, and provided the perfect respite after our adventurous days, especially the swimming pool. The transportation arrangements were seamless, ensuring that we could easily explore different parts of Goa without any hassle. And, of course, the delightful dining experiences throughout our trip left us satisfied and eager to taste more of the local cuisine.

Your dedication to making our anniversary reunion trip unforgettable is truly commendable. Your expertise and hard work made it a stress-free experience for all of us. We appreciate your efforts in ensuring that every aspect of the trip was well-planned and executed flawlessly.

Once again, thank you, Ravi and Bhushan, for organizing such a fantastic trip. It exceeded all our expectations, and we are filled with wonderful memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Your contribution made our 27th anniversary reunion truly memorable, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.
