Working with kimkim and our Julia travel specialist was great! She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. We had planned exploring southern Spain/Portugal, and Madeira into 11 days. The first travel agent group we reached out to tried to inform us we had planned to do too much and should focus on only one location which was a bit disheartening. They would not even entertain an itinerary for us. When we reached out to Julia, explained we were young, loved adventure, were okay with living out of a suitcase, willing to drive a rental car, and wanting to see as much as possible she was so encouraging! She gave great recommendations on where to spend our time in terms of what to see at each location and took care of booking our flights and rental cars. Summer the operations specialist was also great! Both Julia and Summer were quick to respond to any questions we had through the Kim Kim app, we felt very well taken care of through the planning process and during the trip as well. We also used KimKim for a previous trip to Iceland which went great. We plan to do more traveling over the next few years and will definitely be looking at using KimKim again in the future!
