Great location in general in that it was walkable to everything. Only drawback is that the apartments are one level above street level and ours faced a very busy and bright street. Opening the curtains allowed all passersby to be looking right in and streetlights were on all night.

Finca de Los Arandinos
Entrena

We didn't love this one. Half of the rooms face the parking lot and half face out to the beautiful landscape. We were in one that faced the parking lot so we had the sense of missing out. The hotel was likely somewhat stylish when it opened but it is seeming a bit down-at-heels now. Needing repairs and such. Staff was very nice and breakfast was good. Ate one dinner in the restuarant which was a convenient, servicable meal.

We viewed the landscape and learned about geography, walked through the vineyards and practiced pruning the grape vines, had snacks among the vines, did a hands-on experiment to learn about sugar content in wine, went into Marina's family cellar, and corked a bottle of wine. Marina was warm and fun to talk to. It was wonderful to connect with someone with such a long deep relationship with that place.

The trip was wonderful. Just what we wanted. Kudos to Hector.

All drivers were pleasant, helpful, and on time. They all arrived a few minutes early to insure we left at the appropriate time and this was especially helpful.

The hotel was perfectly situated in the heart of Madrid. It was very "Spanish", which is what we wanted. We were able to walk almost everywhere.

We had a last minute canceled train reservation due to a transit strike, the day of our trip to Toledo. Kim Kim was with us all the way by text. When it became clear that the train was finally going to be cancelled, they arranged for a driver to take us back and forth to Toledo. He arrived within an hour of the cancelation. They coordinated with our guide in Toledo. The transition was seamless. We had a wonderful day.

How a travel agency responds to challenges is the true test of the quality of the agency. Kim Kim performed like a champ. They exceeded expectations. We will definitely use them again and recommend them to our friends.

Once we transitioned to the ops team as we closed in on our trip and then traveled to Spain, Coraima and Chinh were excellent keeping us informed, along with assists from Nick. And when a horrific train accident in Spain impacted our transportation plans, Summer reached out to inform us, monitor the situation, and eventually ensure we had dependable alternate transportation from Cordoba to Madrid. The recommended excursions and tours were all fantastic and we had super-knowledgeable, flexible, courteous, and warm guides that made it all even more wonderful - Ann Marie and Craig in Barcelona, Eduardo in Granada, Cristina in Seville, Olivia in Cordoba, and Carlos and Eva in Madrid. We highly recommend kimkim and look forward to working with them again in future travels!

Hector, our local specialist, was incredible in the planning process. He was excellent at responding to numerous questions and making changes to multiple itineraries to prepare a customized trip for my family in Spain. This is the second trip Hector has planned for us. Last year, he customized an itinerary for us to Portugal which also was an exceptional trip. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Hector.

Our top three excursions were: a tapas tour on arrival, a paella cooking class with Claudia from "Just Royal" and the Caminito del Rey.

The tapas tour set us up for a wonderful introduction into the Spanish culture of slowing down in the afternoons and sharing tapas at an outdoor cafe. Brais, our tour guide was engaging, energetic and knowledgeable on the varieties of foods/wines. He even had us participate in a tradition called Porron, which numerous tour participants engaged in. Fun, fun!

We loved our excursion of the paella cooking class. Claudia, our formally trained cooking instructor, engaged all six of us in the cooking class in the preparation of the food which included: food selection, chopping, sautéing and even browning the brûlée. The excursion culminated in a lunch expertly presented of the food we had cooked. Delicious!!

The Caminita del Rey was an excursion I had read about which involved catwalks 300-feet above the river which were formerly used by maintenance workers for a hydro-electric power plant. Although the height could be dizzying for some, my husband who is afraid of heights was able to partake in the hike/walk. What an amazing engineering marvel knowing the catwalks were originally built in the early 1900's (but were recently upgraded with added safety features in 2016).

Least favorite excursion: Cycle the Via Verde. I had originally thought this would be a guided trip, however, it was not. The maps and GPS given to us by the company were not helpful. Fortunately, we had our smart phone that eventually allowed us to get out of the city. It took us 4 hours to get to our destination and 2 hours to return which shows how lost we were getting out of the city. If I were to make a recommendation, I would not choose this company to do the trip again. I would also have preferred to select a bike company on the outskirts of the city so we would not need to navigate the city if we were biking independent of a tour guide.

Best Hotels: My daughter was a huge fan of the Casa Romana Hotel Boutique and the tastefully decorated contemporary rooms. She described it as being "the classiest hotel she has ever been in". She is actually very accurate. My husband and I loved the "Catalonia Ronda" because it had additional space in the room with a couch and chairs that provided a place for us to gather and play a game or two in the privacy of our room.

The kimkim app is invaluable to all in our party. It was a great resource because it was well-organized with our vouchers, directions with links, updates and chat feature. This is such a bonus to traveling.

Thank you for your kindness and expertise in planning our trip. We will continue to use Kimkim for any future guided trips.

Karen and company!

Tour was well-done. I feel it is important to do these overall tours when going to a new city, however, I found the information became overwhelming after a while.

Excursion to Montserrat Monastery & Scenic Mountain Hike

Barcelona

We hiked the mountain for our excursion and loved the opportunity to be outdoors. Make sure you wear good walking shoes. There was not much time for us to wonder the market or get a bite to eat. We picked up a beverage at the supermarket and ate when we got back from the excursion. It might be good to bring a snack and water with you. I was under the impression our tour was supposed to include a snack...that did not occur.

We were fortunate to have this excursion with just our family of four. We loved the 45 minute walk along the coastal trail prior to our kayak trip. The guide spoke about the flora. Our guide kayaked us to a section of the cliffs where there was a via fuerata and we snorkeled below the people. It was a beautiful relaxing trip. There was enough time for us to get tapas at a restaurant beach-side. It was a lovely day.
