Jorge Reyna
My name is Jorge, your local travel expert in Mexico. I love traveling, to experience new cultures and see the amazing diversity of this world. I studied tourism and take any opportunity I get to travel. My goal is to take you to off-the-beaten-track areas and share my local knowledge with you to create an experience that not only meets but exceeds your expectations! Let me show you authentic Mexico, the country that I love.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I'm a travel consultant specializing in the Central and Southern regions of Mexico. Meaning I take care of all of the details of your experience like the local guides, great food, beaches, culture, museums, natural wonders and so much more, based on your preferences! This way, you get to relax and discover the authentic and hidden treasures of Mexico seamlessly.
As part of our commitment to the people of Mexico, we continue to pioneer new tours and experiences to create jobs and generate income for our local partners throughout the country."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I was born into a family that loves to travel. Throughout the earliest years of my life, I got to travel within my own beautiful home country. When I was 15, I took my first international trip to Canada; that's where I fell in love with experiencing different cultures. I got my degree in tourism, which allowed me to continue traveling, mainly throughout Europe, and then life brought me back home here to paradise... Playa del Carmen."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Having the opportunity to study in Canada for a month at 15 years old changed my life. It was my first experience outside of Mexico and my classmates were from many parts of the world. I loved listening to their stories about their families, their cuisine, and their cultures. When it was my turn to tell about Mexico I did it with a unique passion, and everyone always told me "I want to visit your country". Now I'm here doing exactly the same thing and what I've always been passionate about! To inspire travelers to visit Mexico and let themselves be charmed by our culture, colors, and flavors, but especially by our people. "

I can't recommend Jorge and the team at KimKim highly enough. We will certainly use them again in future. We shared our priorities with Jorge (we wanted a mix of foodie tours and historic sites) and he proposed the perfect itinerary. We felt like we saw all the highlights of the cities, but nothing felt rushed, because of the very smooth transfers and daily updates/info from the local agent.
The hotels were wonderful and very central. The private guides we had were also fantastic and... read more

Tom and I knew we wanted to go to Mexico. We knew we wanted a little bit of culture, some wildlife, and maybe a splash in the ocean. That's it.
With the vague and minimal information we gave them, Jorge and KimKim were able to put together a perfect trip for us. We had a flawless itinerary. It's so clear that KimKim really cares about the communities (animals and humans) in Mexico. Everything we did and everywhere we stayed felt like they were helping us experience Mexico as authentically... read more

Overall, our Mexico trip was amazing and I was very happy with our accommodations and planned activities. All of our guides were great, but a special shout-out to our guide Manuel who took us through the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. He went way above and beyond and his passion for his work really showed. Other highlights of the trip were Chichen Itza, a cooking class in Tulum, and everything about Holbox Island. Our local assistant, Leslie Perez was very responsive and helpful. We did have a... read more

We had an amazing honeymoon thanks to kimkim & Jorge.
Initially I had just contacted them to get some ideas about my trip, but I ended up booking our trip to Mexico with kimkim, after a lot of back-and-forth planning with Jorge. We wanted to visit and see both cultural/historical/gastronomical/vacation places in Mexico and our trip made that happen.
Our hotels were excellent. Our drivers and guides were always on time. The activities were fun and informative. Couldn't ask for more. We did... read more

Jorge and Melina did a great job and I was very happy with my trip. On very short notice during the high season, Jorge put together a perfect itinerary. I hate to plan and Jorge took all the work out of it. He put together a good balance of the big, can’t miss sites and activities that were a little more off the beaten track. Jorge helpfully worked with me to adjust the itinerary to meet my interests, and in hindsight, I only wish I had gotten more involved. Every tour they arranged was fun... read more

Jan 29 - Feb 1, 2019
Jorge organised the trip for us, and Demi was our guide for the Mexico City. First day we decided to go to the Teotihuacan and Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe and on the second day wandering in the city. We liked pyramids in Teotihuacan the most. Demi explained everything and also he knows english so that was a bonus. Even we got stucked in the traffic jam Our driver Eric and guide Demi were very calm and easy going. Would recommend them also to the others!
Best regards,

We have just returned from an amazing trip to Mexico that Jorge had planned for us. We were met at the Leon airport by a very friendly driver - Christian - and soon learned that every single person that the agency has assigned to us is just as nice. Our hotel in San Miguel was comfortable and centrally located and the tours that Maria gave us were informative and most enjoyable. We enjoyed visiting churches, monuments, and the Mercado without being pushed in any way. Being a great host, she... read more

Thank you Jorge for organising a wonderful trip over 3 cities in Mexico. Mexico City was vibrant and active. Puebla was more historic and the central area full of character, artists, pottery and candy! Great to wander around and enjoy. Similarly the days spent in Oaxaca further south were so enjoyable, wandering around the historic centre. Whilst the Sun and Moon temples at Teotihuacan were amazing, the pyramids at Monte Alban I think outshone them! The guides we had in each area were excellent - knowledgable, friendly and so helpful. We want to come back!
Thank you so much for your review! It makes us really happy to see that you had such a fantastic time in these wonderful cities that have so much to offer!!! It's really important to us to have happy travelers. That is why we work with excellent guides and always do our best for our clients to really enjoy their visit to Mexico. I hope you come back soon! We would be really happy to have you back.
