Italy Travel Agents

We planned a trip to Italy with KimKim and it was absolutely amazing. Everything was planned well and our agent was alert and responsive to every request we put in. I will definitely use Kimkim in our next adventure. You will not go wrong with Moreno from Kimkim he is amazing to deal with.

Never having used the services of KimKim/Storywalking, I must say I had a little skepticism since all was developed through emails and no real “fave to face” conversation. Well, I’m here to say that this was perhaps one of the BEST planned trips I have ever taken! Everything went like clockwork. From the planning of Chiara, who listened to what I wanted in a trip, to Jessica and Barbara assisting us during the journey…they were all superb!

Never having used the services of KimKim/Storywalking, I must say I had a little skepticism since all was developed through emails and no real “fave to face” conversation. Well, I’m here to say that this was perhaps one of the BEST planned trips I have ever taken! Everything went like clockwork. From the planning of Chiara, who listened to what I wanted in a trip, to Jessica and Barbara assisting us during the journey…they were all superb! Easily accessible for questions and able to adjust and assist exactly as requested. We certainly were able to experience a true taste of NW Italy and Chianti. All the excursions, drivers, train tickets, car rental all were perfect! We could not have asked for better execution during a trip. I think our favorite spots were the Royal Victorian Hotel in Varenna and the Hotel Belvedere in Chianti. Not to say the Buranco
BnB in Monterosso was not great, just a different experience. We really enjoyed visiting with Mary, one of the winery/BnB owners and the food and wine were fantastic.
I would definitely use KimKim/Storywalking again!! Many thanks to all of you who assisted in planning this trip, especially Chiara, with a perfect 10 for this trip!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!

Extremely satisfied with KimKim Travel for our trip to Italy. Maria Grazia was fantastic throughout the entire booking process. Before departing for our trip Maria had us download an app to keep all of our trip details, train tickets and tour vouchers readily accessible on our phones. The app also allowed us to message each other and our local travel representative, Jessica. Jessica always replied promptly to our questions and requests.

The hotels in Rome and Florence were well... read more

The hotels in Rome and Florence were well located and although our Sorrento hotel was not walkable to the city center they did provide a shuttle. Our tours of the Vatican and the Colosseum in Rome were fabulous as was our Pompeii tour and e-bike trip through Tuscany.

We did experience a couple of rainy days in Sorrento which resulted in our boat excursion being cancelled. Our credit card was refunded for the cancelled tour within 48 hours.

I highly encourage you to use KimKim Travel for your next worry free vacation!

This was our first trip to Europe and we sought out a travel organizer to help us stay organized and lean on a local expert for recommendations on what to see and do. This was an excellent service experience which we would definitely do again and recommend to friends! read more

Hotel Reviews

Hotel Villa di Sorrento 3*

Sorrento

This hotel was so iconic Italy. Impeccably clean, service was absolutely perfect and the location is optimal to enjoy the sights of Sorrento. Delicious breakfast and coffee as well. Nikola at The front desk was super helpful when we had questions about restaurants, directions, and whatever we needed for the room.

Authenticity & Character

Iconic Italy. Architecture, decor, charming

Location

Central, convenient, beautiful view from our balcony

Staff

Nikola!

Cleanliness & Comfort

The rooms were small which we now know is typical in Europe. That didn’t matter to us because we were not there most of the time. The rooms were super clean and although the king bed was actually two twin beds pushed together it didn’t really bother us… maybe because we were so tired from travel adventures!

Acropolis Hill Hotel

Athens

Very clean, good location, amazing view of the Parthenon, awesome rooftop patio.

Authenticity & Character

It was a business vibe as opposed to authentic Greek which was fine for our one night stay

Location

Convenient if you want to visit the Parthenon.

Staff

Very attentive and eager to please guests. “Anthony” at the front desk went so far as to order our take away dinner because we didn’t have the app we needed. That kind of service is hard to find in the states!

Cleanliness & Comfort

Everything well tended to.

Kasimatis by La Perla

Santorini

I can’t say enough about the amazing experience at this hotel. Everything from the view to the staff, the food, the Jacuzzi, the location, sunsets and all of the wonderful memories - everything was absolutely unforgettable.

Authenticity & Character

So very Santorini- on the caldera- it felt slightly like the cave style but also modern, clean and uniquely special

Location

This is the optimal location for visiting in the month of May to see a perfect sunset. Even in other months of the season I’m sure it is absolutely spectacular. It’s very convenient to walk and find restaurants and the bus station and shops in Imerovigoli.

Staff

All of the staff at this hotel were so eager to make our experience perfect. They are very proud of what they do on the island of Santorini and we were grateful to experience that. When we checked in and out, there was staff readily available to carry our luggage up the 125 steps to and from the street!

Cleanliness & Comfort

The staff is so attentive to cleanliness. Someone came around every morning to check the Jacuzzi to make sure it was clean and we had everything we needed.

Capri Island & Grottos Boat Tour from Sorrento

We had a pretty rainy day for this tour, but our host on the boat made the experience absolutely amazing regardless of the weather. He was very talented, negotiating the waves while bringing us into all of the most amazing grottoes around the island of Capri

What a cool experience, this was!

Quality of Experience

We had perfect weather. The crew was impeccable, and very good hosts. The music was great, and all of the stops we made were perfectly timed and educational.

Food

The mail on this boat was actually one of the best meals we had on our entire vacation. It is so impressive what they can do on a catamaran!

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Everything that we did in Santorini reminded us that tourism is a very important industry that helps this island Thrive. They go out of their way to make sure that your personal experience is absolutely perfect.

Santorini Highlights Tour & Wine Tasting

Greece

This is a must do in my opinion for anyone going to visit Santorini. It really does cover the whole entire island on a high level and then travelers can decide where they’d like to spend additional time. Our guide was absolutely amazing. He knew this island extremely well, and was able to give us lots of awesome information about the history, the highlights the best places to see the sunset, and even brought us to a secret place that the travelers and most tourist didn’t know about. It was a really great experience for us.

Quality of Experience

Amazing overall quality of experience. If there was anything at all that we would change, we found ourselves definitely anxious to wrap up the day after 5 1/2 hours. If the company had offered a bottle of wine to watch the sunset with that would have enhanced the experience but all we had was a bottle of water, and we started feeling very hungry and ready to get back.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Excellent driver and tour guide for this experience!

Transport

Very safe and efficient driver in a very comfortable van

We had the dreamiest trip planned for us across Italy. Everything exceeded out exceptions! Every tour and activity planned out was done with amazing companies and family owned operations. I could’ve never booked the same trip on my own. One of the days we messed up by thinking our tour for the colosseum started at a later time. Because of this we were fifteen mins later and the colosseum has a hard start time. We thought we missed it and there were no more tickets for the colosseum available... read more

We had the dreamiest trip planned for us across Italy. Everything exceeded out exceptions! Every tour and activity planned out was done with amazing companies and family owned operations. I could’ve never booked the same trip on my own. One of the days we messed up by thinking our tour for the colosseum started at a later time. Because of this we were fifteen mins later and the colosseum has a hard start time. We thought we missed it and there were no more tickets for the colosseum available for purchase but Jessica, Barbara, and Maria were able to still get us in with our tour we just joined a little late. We were over the moon and so grateful! I have never used a travel agent to help plan a trip but after this trip I’ll never do another trip without the help of KimKim.
