Kimkim Trip Reviews

Harris was wonderful to plan with, and he and Evyenia were there anytime we needed them during the trip! All of our guides were amazing during the trips as well - I wish I could remember all of their names. Every driver was nice and punctual, though Toni with iCareLimo was exceptional. We enjoyed every single city and accommodations, though Naples was a place that we would have rather traded for an extra night in Sorrento or Rome. The pizza was spectacular, but the city itself was not particularly tourist or honeymoon friendly. We absolutely LOVED and enjoyed every second of our trip and thank Harris for coordinating everything for us so we could just follow the plans and enjoy our honeymoon

Quick walk from our hotel.

Iceland is one jaw-dropping moment after another. The diversity and uniqueness of the landscapes are unmatched. We were so glad that we spent the time to do the ring road, and quite a few side trips, and not just spend the vacation in Reykjavik and the Golden Circle. Our favorite moments were away from the crowds and out and about in the countryside just soaking in the beauty and exploring trails, F-roads and black sand beaches.

Our trip specialist, Jenny, was incredibly responsive and helpful in the planning phase and we especially appreciated all the detailed directions ahead of time as this was mostly a self-guided trip. This is our 3rd kimkim trip and we'll be back for more.

The planning went fine. Oleksandra was helpful with her suggestions. The trip itself did not go smoothly. And communication with KimKim during the trip was extremely difficult. KimKim expected me to communicate in a WhatsApp that made no sense. Even my kids don’t know what that is. The emergency number didnt always answer and no one ever returned our calls. and Oleksandra told me she doesn’t respond to emails when she isn’t working. We were not informed of the difficulties exchanging currency and the hotels were not always as described. The hotel in Santiago was in a terrible and dangerous neighborhood, and the bar and restaurant were closed for the season so we had to venture out at night to find an open restaurant. It was very scary. It would have also been nice to know we were crossing the border on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere and had to pass a Covid test to get into Chile! What if we failed the test??? Also, our driver didn’t have National Park tickets we needed (they were delivered the next day) the hotel in Puerto Natale didn’t provide a box lunch for our day long glacier tour so we had to ask for food from other travelers. The hotel in Buenos Aires was nice but located in a bad area. Finally, it took 3 tries to get Oleksandra to respond about a refund for Tango tickets we could not use because of a cancelled flight. I am grateful she got a 50% refund but she could have been more responsive.

We used KimKim because of local knowledge and we paid a lot of money to KimKim for that. Patagonia was a marvel but would have been much more enjoyable without the stress of dealing with KimKim.

Everything was great - the pace was just about right for us - with more guidance and hand-holding at the beginning of the trip - when we needed it most! We had several outstanding guides - Sandra was wonderful in the hills outside of Florence, Francesca was outstanding in the Coliseum - she was studying archaeology and her enthusiasm was amazing - made a 4 hour tour seem like an hour or so...
Venice was incredible - the experience of getting off a train and jumping into a boat/taxi to get to the hotel was memorable.
Jessica and her team were always available via text - and when there were minor connections issues (driver late - we couldn't find each other) - they were taken care of within a couple of minutes - excellent support.
We didn't know what to expect from 'pizza school' - but it ended up being one of the highlights of the trip - I thought it might be a bit 'touristy', but it was a wonderful experience. Would recommend it to anyone.
The day on the Amalfi coast was great - our guide was wonderful - and did not make us feel hurried.
The only minor issue was that we had 2 different drivers that did not have the exact address of the hotel. In one case (at the beginning) in Florence - the driver let us off without verifying that we were at the right place - and in Sorrento, the driver pointed us to the wrong street - fortunately we insisted that he stay with us until we entered the hotel. Please make sure the drivers have the exact address of the hotel - instead of just the hotel name.

Please note that the hotel breakfasts were perfect - enough variety to satisfy anyone.

Our 4 hour tour with Francesca was amazing. She became a friend during that time. Her enthusiasm was infectious - and helped us appreciate what we were seeing. At the end, we couldn't believe that 4 hours had passed - it seemed like an hour - maybe two. We are so glad we got to meet her.

Valentine did a great job in communicating with us in the mornings (as she is based in France). She picked beautiful boutique hotels with delicious breakfasts. We were very happy with her recommendations for tours and events to make our first visit to France incredibly memorable.

While in France, we felt like we were supported and in good hands if anything went awry (CDG strikes)

Lessons Learned:
- Pick half day excursions if you like to explore on your own. Full day tours are fantastic but although they don't last 12 hours it will fill up your day.

Marina was exceptionally helpful and responsive in working with me to plan this 2 week trip. We visited Lisbon, Évora, Funchal (Island of Madeira), Porto & Cascais. All of our daytime tours and intercity transportation came together like clock work. Our hotel properties at each stop were well located and provided comfort with nice amenities. Everything was great but we especially highly recommend a visit to Madeira. We won't hesitate to use KimKim for our future travel planning.

We had a wonderful trip with Morocco Immersion Tours & Adventures! When booking, Sharon was quick to respond to all of our questions and help us create the perfect itinerary for our week in Morocco.

From start to finish, everything was perfectly planned and we got to do and see everything we set out to. The local guides in each area (Marrakech, Tinghir, and Kasbah Tamnougalt) were all very knowledgeable, happy to answer questions and patient with picture taking. At each Riad (Riad Nesma in Marrakech, Chez Ichou, and Kasbah Itrane Tamnougalt) and the desert camp we were provided with delicious food and attentive service. If you decide to do a desert overnight at the wonderful Palais des Dunes Luxury Camp don’t miss out on leaving camp in the evening to do some star gazing - it can’t be beat! Additionally, on your way out of Ourzazate, visit Taman’Art Space, a unique artist’s collective founded by the incredibly talented local artist, Aissa Joud.

What made the trip special was how wonderful our driver, Mahmoud, was - you truly couldn’t ask for a better person to show you around such a beautiful country. From Marrakech to the Sahara and back, Mahmoud went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, introducing us to fantastic music (we are now gnawa fans for life), and teaching us so much about Moroccan and Amazigh culture. Mahmoud did an amazing job getting us from place to place safely, connecting us with local excursions and making sure my dietary restrictions were understood (i.e., celiac) when we stopped for meals. If you are lucky enough to visit Morocco, you will be twice as lucky if you have Mahmoud as your driver. Not only did we have a fantastic trip, we gained a wonderful friend as well!

It was a once in a lifetime trip that we will never forget and we can’t wait to come back!

Margoth was incredible during the planning process, selecting destinations, hotels and even restaurants according to our preferences. On site, her team was amazing in making the logistics completely seamless and were always available within a few minutes for any question we had, regardless of place and time. The guides were fantastic, the transfers on-time, comfortable and safe Unforgettable holidays were we had to think of nothing else than enjoying ourselves, from beginning to end.
Muchas gracias por todo !

My husband and I had an amazing trip to Ieland. We loved this way to travel. We had the expertise of a travel agent and the autonomy of traveling alone. Jen had highlighted the best attractions and gave options so we could make the trip our own style as well as judging how we were feeling each day. I have to say the guest house exceeded our expectations.
All in all one of the best way to travel I have found I would definitely have KimKim plan another trip for me anytime.

The whole trip was perfect! It was everything and more! Chris planned the perfect trip and all the kimkim staff was with us the whole way through! I will definitely use kimkim again. I can’t imagine why i would plan a trip without them after this!!!

I have done similar bike trips in The Netherlands, on Mallorca, in Portugal and in Italy. The trip in Croatia, handled by Robi and Daniela, was, BY FAR, much better and more personal than any other bike trip I've taken. The level of service is beyond belief. The individual care and attention were much more than I had expected. Wonderful exposure to the wine industry in Croatia along with wine tasting. City tour of Dubrovnick by Antea was PHENOMENAL!! The recommendations for restaurants and the arrangements for activities were all wonderful. If anyone tells me they are going on a bike trip to Croatia with any other company, I will tell them to cancel their trip and rebook it with Kimkim, Daniela and Robi. First Class, in every sense of the word. Thank you so much to Daniela and Robi!!!!!

I contacted kimkim on March 23, 2022 and Angela promptly responded. Just as she did for the coming months and throughout our vacation. I laid out the kind of trip we wanted and Angela put it together perfectly, working within our budget to maximize our experience. In Naxos we stayed at a small family run hotel, in Santorini we had a fantastic Caldera view, and in Athens we were steps from the Acropolis. All were amazing! We went sunset sea kayaking and took and catamaran cruise in Santorini! We have memories that will last a lifetime! Angela was there every step of the way to help plan, advise, and navigate the planning and travel process. It was a truly fantastic experience!
Thank you Angela!

We had an amazing trip to Iceland. Rinolda, our KimKim specialist was super helpful and responsive, and created a plan that was perfect for us, even though we started planning really late.
Everything worked perfectly, the hotels were very good, and the whole process was very simple and straight forward. Best of all, we got to Iceland, got in the car, hooked up our phone - and off we went.
Rinolda sent us to some amazing spots and incorporated our interests into the plan perfectly.

Thank you Kimkim and Rinolda!

I always like to wait a little bit after taking a trip to really think about the trip and give a review. The trip and itinerary put together by Robi and Kimkim was 5 stars and one of my favorite vacations I have ever been on. First, Robi was terrific on working on what we wanted on our trip from length of trip to hotels, to sights, etc. There was a lot of back and forth and I was always presented with multiple options. We had never been to Croatia so we were open to many suggestions, and it was perfect. Second the communication was top notch, any time we were going to a new city, Robi would whatsapp all details, even down to where to turn on a street, how early to be there, restaurants, etc. At no time on the vacation did we feel stressed as he setup everything perfect. Our trip was Split-Hvar-Korcula - Dubrovnik (with side trip to Kotor). The team he worked with was 5 stars with extra shout outs to Antonio in Split and Baldo in Dubrovnik. If you are wondering about using Robi and Kimkim, I highly recommend it for a special memorable trip.

As for sites, everyone is different, but renting a boat in HVAR and going into coves and swimming was terrific and beautiful, and the same happened in Dubrovnik and Robi was the captain and it was terrific also. Dubrovnik lives up to the hype. Kotor was incredible and you should ask for Baldo as a tour guide. In Split took a trip out to the Krka waterfalls and was a great trip. The day trip to Ston on the way to Dubrovnik was a great stop, from walking the walls to the oyster trip, to the salt plant. Be upfront with Robi on what you want and him and his team will find it, so enjoy Croatia

There were a couple of days where we were on a tighter deadline but that’s absolutely fine as we crammed so much in. Our local driver recommended spur of the moment Red Sea visit which we wouldn’t have seen on our original plan so key suggestions like this would have been useful but we made it anyway. Everyone was so helpful, even when our luggage was lost they did everything possible to get it back quickly. Overall recommended to everyone out there

Chris was excellent. It was very nice to have someone make difficult restaurant reservations and answer questions during our trip. Naxos was an excellent choice of islands to visit which was selected by Chris for us. We also really enjoyed the catamaran sailing trip in Santorini. The crew on the catamaran were very friendly and the experience was very classy.

Very nice quiet spot close to everything but a beautiful oasis in a busy spot. The breakfast was nice but the service can be slow at times when everyone comes down at the same time. Not a huge issue but the room had no iron or ironing board and the coffee was only instant coffee which I felt was low scale for a higher end property. We had a room with the bedroom upstairs which was nice but the stairs are pretty steep and could be dangerous for people that need to go use the bathroom during the night.
