Excellent vacation and Carl was very helpful in trip planning in advance as well as help during the trip. Will definitely continue to use KimKim for our next vacation.

We have used kimkim in the past and like that it advertises specialists in the country in which you want to travel. The service provided for this trip was disappointing.

We have used kimkim in the past and like that it advertises specialists in the country in which you want to travel. The service provided for this trip was disappointing. Granted, we were a large group (initially 12 people), but there were many significant details that were missed creating complications and producing unneeded anxiety. The kimkim platform seemed to overly complicate communication and our travel specialist frequently did not check in on the platform for days at a time - so it was difficult to communicate and to remind him of all of the details about our trip (which we should not have had to do in the first place); we finally had to connect on WhatsApp. I will not go into the details that were missed, but suffice it to say that there were complications before the trip and at every stop that required reaching out to the travel coordinator to intervene. I was the primary contact for our group and kept much of this detail from all so that they could experience a restful and anxiety-free vacation. Ultimately, we paid quite a bit for this trip and the kimkim fees were significant, but I do not believe of value in this instance since this was a stressful experience for at least this traveler.

Hotel Reviews
Railroad to book the hotel

The Palace Hotel in Kamloops was a dump! The staff was great, but the hotel has seen its better days. Loud "club" in the bar area that kept many awake into the very early hours.

Hi Tom,
We are sorry about the stress that you were put on into but at least we were able to make everything happen even with so many out of our controls things happening.

Sorry for some delay with our messages over the weekend, it can happen during high season.
Thank you

Enjoyed the people of Montréal

Both the historic tour and the foodie tours were fun and meeting people from all over the country (USA) made it enjoyable. I don’t remember our guide’s names. But the daily interactions with the people of the city, the Uber drivers, people we met on the tours was probably the most fascinating. read more

Hotel Alt provided everything we needed while we stayed in Montréal. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Fresh croissants every morning spoiled us!

Old Montreal VIP
Montréal

Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned so much about Montréal!

Quality of Experience
Our guide - he was very kind and very Canadian French. His family roots were established there so the tour went deeper…

Transport
It’s a walking tour so you’re constantly moving except to stop to talk about specific points and spots.
