Fedriades Hotel

Didn’t love this one and actually checked out a day early. The room was extra small, the bed very hard with small, flat pillows, couldnt get the ac to work and burned up at night. My panoramic view was seen over a huge roof, so not quite as advertised. No parking anywhere. Small bar but unattended. On the bright side, clean, breakfast was super and the town is adorable. It will only take about an hour to explore the whole things. Wonderful restaurant across the street with a better view. Walk to Delphi in 10 minutes.

Acropolis & Ancient Athens Mythology Tour

Athens

The best! We really enjoyed the unique tour and focus on both mythology and history. Our guide was funny, engaging and thoughtful. She made sure we had shady spots and rocks to get out of the sun often. Highly recommend.

Saronic Islands Day Cruise

Athens

This was a nice day trip. We had VIP package which was nice. The pro’s were that you get to see 3 islands, spend a day at sea, VIP lounge with your own waitress, and first on/off. That said, you only get a little time on the islands, the food was meh, and it’s a lot of people. If I had to do it again, I’d charter my own boat.

Traditional Lunch at an Olive Oil Producer

Delphi

Delicious lunch with amazing olive oils and tapenades. Seriously good. Loved sitting down and learning from the owner about his history, the ancient groves and its importance. We did not go into the grove or see production, however. It was a lovely lunch and we bought all the products with breathtaking views.

Private Tour of Delphi

Delphi

Great tour with a knowledgeable guide. She was a little late and left a little early but overall a phenomenal experience. Delphi was one great highlight and felt so spiritual.

Honey Farm Tour

Delphi

A real highlight of our trip! We didn’t know what to expect but we thought this was the bees knees (pun fully intended!). We spent a few hours privately with a bee keeps in the middle of an ancient olive orchard learning all about the bees. The honey was divine.

Sea Kayak Above Epidaurus Sunken City

Nafplio

Such amazing activity and the guide was simply the best. We really enjoyed an easy day of paddling, some history, a lovely walk, some beach time and overall just a perfect day. Snorkeling the old Roman villa was a real highlight.

Triple Swim Day Trip to a Waterfall, Alpine Lake & the Sea

Greece

A lovely day spent waaaay off the beaten path. It was a little awkward at first since we picked our guide up on the side of an exit in a parking lot to a cemetery. However, she was lovely. We drove over an hour to get to the hiking spot to go to the waterfall. I will say that we weren’t prepared at all. The “gentle river trekking” was actually walking and climbing up a rapid river, over boulders, loads of large rocks in freezing cold water. At the end was a beautiful water fall - which I got in to and thought I may have died it was so cold. That said, it was very invigorating and honestly felt healing. You need special hiking shoes for this - we only had sneakers. The rest was easy and oh so beautiful. The lunch boxes were so special and delicious as was the dinner at an adorable local taverna. Our guide was wonderful.

Our trip to Italy was booked on Kimkim through Ina, who ensured that my requests were taken care of as they arised during the planning process. For the actual trip, everything was seamless - the drivers, tours, and hotel accommodations. I especially recommend checking out the Amalfi coast and Pompeii!

We have just returned from the most unforgettable trip to Greece! It was an amazing action packed trip that we couldn’t have done without the wonderful guidance from Ina our trip organiser. She understood the brief perfectly. It was a 2 week adventure in Athens, Naxos and Santorini for my 13 year old daughter and I.

I had never heard of Naxos but it ended up being our favourite place. It was the perfect balance of Island relaxation, ancient history and a deep dive into Greek culture. It also had some lovely shopping and great opportunities for some Instagram shots!

Athens was magical in all it’s big city hustle and bustle and of course the Acropolis was breathtaking.

Santorini was stunning despite not so picturesque weather. The car rental was an adventure! We had a couple of hiccups with the car not starting on one occasion, but the customer care team in Greece (Irene, Christos and Mariann) were so responsive and we resolved the issue straight away. They couldn’t have been more helpful and reassuring if they tried.

All future holidays will be organised through Kim Kim. I cannot recommend their service highly enough. If you are going to Greece - you MUST connect with Ina. She is fantastic!

Thank you Ina and the team for making the trip a perfect balance of action and relaxation. 💙

Travel Agent: Ina

The two weeks that he had organized through kimkim was a terrific travel experience! We will first start of by saying that they do a wonderful job on working with a set budget. Ina was our travel agent for our excursion in Italy and the Mediterranean and was able to provide a very detailed itinerary, then amend it based on our thoughts, prioritization and budget. Each of our destination locations were roughly 2 days, which gave us time to experience pre-set tours, walking around the locations, eat out and allow us to have a "free day" to explore.

It was incredibly convenient to have Ina email us the itinerary prior, with all the tickets, tour info, must see hot spots, and have ALL the intricate travel taken care of. We appreciated the recommended sights to see as well as cafes/restaurants/bars to visit. We had never seen such a detailed itinerary and were very appreciative of all the insights. Car services and water taxis were very punctual (sometimes early) when picking us from the hotels and taking us to the next destination on the itinerary. How to get from point A to B to C was something we were initially stressed about. Kimkim does an excellent job at taking care of all the travel plans while you are in a foreign country. We had minimal issues with moving to and from locations due to the detailed itinerary and punctual aspect of the car services.

Restaurant reservations were even made by her after our input on food preferences.
Every now and then, we would need to reach out to kimkim on Whatapp via mobile if we were in a bind for some details, but kimkim was prompt and handled the situation without any major issues.

The only recommendation we have is to provide different options for the local tours. We overall were happy with the tours Ina set up! For example, we are very interested in Greek mythology and there was an option to do a Greek mythology based tour of the Acropolis. We did the architectural based tour which was good but would have liked to have the mythology incorporated into the tour.

Overall, this trip was incredible, and it went by so fast for how busy we kept. We took this opportunity to do as much as possible in the 2 weeks we had. Ina made sure to be very detailed in the planning.

Kimkim wiped away so much stress, made travel easier and provided an insight into the Italian and Greek culture that we would not have gathered with self-planned travel.

We can't speak highly enough of kimkim and look forward to our next adventure with these folks the next time we choose to travel internationally!

Ina planned our 10 day trip of Greece that included so many attractions starting with Athens, Meteora, Delphi and island hopping of Mykonos and Santorini. Her idea of setting us up with a rental car to drive from Athens to visit Meteora and Delphi was a wonderful choice. She also offered plenty of sight seeing and dining options along the way.

All the ground transfers and tours at every point was smooth. I want to give a big shout out to the ground staff who was available almost 24x7 to answer any questions we might have had. One hiccup we had was the ferry from Athens to Mykanos was canceled due to bad weather and the ground staff responded promptly to make alternate arrangements. All the hotels were neat and located close to central streets. Kimkim took the headache of detailed planning from us and we will recommend them to our friends and ourselves use them on our next Europe adventure.

Ina and your travel management team provided us with accurate pricing of all the things that we would experience in Greece. We can tell everybody without hesitation that you are the primary reason for our great time in Greece! You took care and paid attention to everything about our trip’s planning and even during our trip. We were in awe to experience the Greek culture and history; to explore its nature of abundant mountains, seas, and olive trees!
The places that you choose for us to go - the hotels, the guides, the island day cruise, the tours, ferry rides, and the stopping points between Athens, Nafplio, Nafpaktos, Ioannina, Corfu, Meteora, Thessaloniki, Lithochoro, and Delphi were top-notch except driving on lots of winding roads. We have recommended your name to a few other people who were in our contacts and who love to travel as well.
We shared the photos of our trip on Facebook and they were very well received. We have fond memories of the amazing food, people, nature, and attractions that we saw in Greece and were surprised that most Greeks are able to speak English as well!
We are looking forward to planning another trip with Ina and your KimKim team and we want to thank both of you again for such a great trip.

Our tour guides were all very knowledgeable, friendly, and more than happy to customize our experience. The travel team is also very responsive and flexible, able to make changes with short notice. One morning we had missed our timeslot for a Colosseum tour, but our tour guide and travel agents worked together to get us there and squeeze us in, despite the usually strict time slots.

Given that the Greece part of our trip was going to be our two adult kids traveling out of the country on their own for the first time, we were probably a bit high maintenance with our constant questions and pestering, but Ina was extremely responsive and helpful. The icing on the cake was having our kids get to meet Ina and spend part of a day with her as their local resource and guide...they absolutely loved it! Our kids reached out to KimKim and the Travel12 team for assistance a number of times during their travels in Greece, and they were always helpful and responsive. This was our first experience with a travel service, and it was outstanding in every respect.

Back in Vancouver now and just reminiscing about our wonderful stay in Greece. I will absolutely do a review for you , but I thought that I should offer some constructive feedback. Below:

Athens:

- Hotel was fantastic and memourable...highly recommend for future bookings
- 1st dinner, though the food was fantastic, unremarkable location
- bike tour of Athens was just OK...unremarkable guide...would not recommend
- Acropolis visit was excellent, and the guide very engaging...highly recommend

Paros:

- too early of a transfer to the ferry...too much waiting
- great ferry experience
- fantastic hotel and having the two rooms was a good call
- driver on Paros was fantastic and a big personality
- 1st dinner magnificent in Naoussa (sp?)
- sunset boat trip, a highlight...great crew and highly recommended

Naxos:

- Ok hotel; probably better options to explore...would not recommend
- bike tour was great...good guide and a great way to see the island and Naxos town if you are fit enough...good choice
- probably would have preferred 3 nights in Paros vs the 3 in Naxos...but still a nice visit
- nice call on flying back

Athens Riviera:

- Ok tour from airport
- unremarkable lunch...do NOT recommend
- great hotel and location...highly recommend to complete the tour

All in all, you did a fantastic job, and I would recommend you highly. We'll be back.

Transport

Our trip was amazing! We went to Rome, Cinque Terre, and Florence. The care, thought and planning that went into our hotel stays, activities, and private transportation was phenomenal. Ina's recommendations for site-seeing and food were spot on, our favorite moment was visiting Brac bookstore/restaurant in Florence because she wrote about it- it was a favorite experience of mine (vegetarian food in Florence!).

If you are going to Italy- Kimkim is your way to go. They made the process so simple and easy to follow, and when I did have questions (for example, confusion on when we were doing a Vatican museum tour) they were responsive on Whatsapp every time.

40th Birthday Celebration

Ina, made planning my 40th birthday celebration with my Mom in Greece such an easy endeavor. From her attentiveness to the flawless structured personalized itinerary, this experience will be a lasting legacy.

40th Birthday Celebration

Ina, made planning my 40th birthday celebration with my Mom in Greece such an easy endeavor. From her attentiveness to the flawless structured personalized itinerary, this experience will be a lasting legacy. Regarding the excellent educational tours: (1) The Acropolis and Ancient Athens Mythology Tour with Anna was full of knowledge and mindfulness of various age groups & physical challenges of each participant; (2) The Food Tour in Naxos with George was very warm, personable, and unique - not only did you eat the delicious Naxian food, but you were educated on the history & culture of the island while walking through living remnants; (3) The Sailing Day Cruise around Naxos and Small Cyclades Islands provided an opportunity to experience various beaches (one with a natural beauty spa), great food, and mingle with other travelers; (4) The Flying Dress Experience in Santorini with Tasos & Natassa was the climax of my trip - I felt like I was in the presence of family - such a caring, delightful team that made you feel like royalty. Regarding our accommodations (Athens Capital Center Hotel-McGallery Collection, Athens; Myconian Ambassador, Mykonos; Cyano Suites, Naxos) all were superb & highly recommended - unfortunately, I would have preferred another option than De Sol Hotel & Spa in Santorini (the room lacked luster, was presented dusty, and the beds required fitted sheets). Kudos to various transportation companies - they were timely, friendly, and very helpful. And, last but not least - thank you Travel 12 Team for coordinating last minute requests, updating me on the itinerary, and being readily accessible.

Such an amazing trip!

Our trip was really amazing and largely because of the Kimkim services. The planning was perfect for us. Hotels were small and unique and so focused on customer service; planned tours and programs were excellent, perfectly matched for us; the transport to and from airports, trains and hotels was just the best. Everything hassle free. We will definitely use kimkim for planning our next trip. read more
