We had such an amazing trip to Colombia. Everything was planned down to the minute, we had reliable transportation and guides and drivers the entire time. Everyone was on time for every single activity, and we had SO many things planned and the guides were so gracious about showing us around even during the holidays. Everything went so smoothly. We LOVED our guide Peter. He became a friend and made our time in Colombia completely unforgettable. 5 Stars for Kimkim and Chaska tours, thank you... read more
Dear Whitney and Joey,
thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you had a great time in Colombia and enjoyed all the activities. It is always a pleasure for us to hear when the guides are able to pass on the magic of the country to our guests. It was a joy for us that you spent the holidays in Colombia. As a result, the club at El Maco was also a bit noisy, Colombians love to party during this time. I hope you could celebrate a little bit with them! Thank you for... read more

Actually, Colombia was not my main destination, it was more of an add-on for my trip to Brazil. However, once I stepped into this fantastic realm, I am blown away and even extended my holiday. I love everything about Colombia, the food, the view, and the people, and I am already planning to come back. Wendy, my local specialist, is extremely helpful and quick to respond to my messages. The itinerary she arranged for me is amazing, and I had great fun every day. The local guides are also the... read more

Dec 25 - Jan 1, 2023
We had an incredible family vacation in Columbia with our guides Alba (Medellin) and Santiago (Bogota). Felipe was incredibly helpful in arranging an itinerary and trip plan based on our specific needs. Memorable experiences in Medellin were a coffee farm tour, and visiting Guatape and climbing El Penol. In Bogota we loved the Salt Cathdral at Zipaquira and the Guatavita Lake tour, Gold Museum, Monserrate, and chocolate experience. The transporation and dining arrangements were seamless.

The trip plan David developed for us involved travelling through three diferent parts of the country, Tayrona National Park, the Guajira and the Orinoco, and gave us an idea of Colombia's amazing cultural diversity and natural beauty, just as we had hoped. We have both fallen in love with the country and are very much wanting to go back. It's difficult to say what were the highlights of the trip, as the thing we appreciated most was the possibility to travel, stay and eat with local people,... read more

Kim Kim, Aracanto, and Margoth planned a great trip for our family to Colombia. We enjoyed Cartagena, Tayrona, coffee country, and Bogota. We had excellent guides in each region, and enjoyed staying in some very unique hotels. The trip was a nice mix of culture, nature, and adventure. Highlights - old city of Cartagena, monkeys in Tayrona, wax palms in Cocora Valley, and the funicular in Bogota. Thank you for a great trip! read more

I searched for a local travel agency in Colombia on kimkim and Margoth was the first one who responded to me. From the beginning to the end of our trip, she was always very quick to respond and very clear with her communications. She was informative and always notified us if there was any changes. Throughout our trip, she made every effort to accommodate our needs and even offered a half-day makeup city tour due to a misunderstanding! Whenever we need her, she was just a text message away.... read more

Margoth and her team did an incredible job of planning so many amazing wonderful immersive experiences with wonderful guides and just really knocked it out of the park.

I Recommend KimKim and Margarita

Dec 15 - Dec 23, 2022
Margarita was creative and interactive when designing a trip for me and my family. I found her responsive to my question, prior to my trip, and especially during my trip when I had questions I felt needed fast answers. She was pleasant, friendly, and amenable. I appreciated how flexible and johnny-on-the-spot she was when I decided to change plans at the last minute. I would highly recommend KimKim and Margarita
Scoot!
Thank you very much for trusting us, it was a pleasure for me and the team to accompany your family during this trip to our country.
Thank you for your comments, taking care of travelers is what makes us different and we do it with all our love.
You and your family will always be more than welcome.

This was our first post pandemic holiday and we decided to use an international travel agent to personalize the itinerary. We planned a two week trip to Colombia in November 2022. After some research we chose Kim Kim based on their capabilities and references. Kim Kim put us in touch with a local specialist, Wendy, in Colombia and working with them we established a detailed itinerary for internal travel and visits. The whole project was wonderfully organized with private tours using local... read more

From the start to the finish, Margoth, Felipe, and Juanita were nothing short of outstanding. As Margoth planned our trip, she took in our interests, timelines, budgets, and various requests, planning a perfect trip for what we wanted. Wherever we went, we had drivers to chauffer us safely from one activity to the next, along with talented and knowledgeable guides. The true benefit of having Margoth on our side was her team's flexibility and attentiveness while we were in Colombia. I was sick... read more

Our Amazonas guide, Claudio Gutierrez, was the absolute best guide. He showed us amazing wildlife, introduced us to fascinating people and was funny, knowledgeable, and a true pleasure to hang out with. He totally understood our travel vibe and added extra walks and activities beyond the itinerary. His passion for the Amazonas was so infectious we simply wanted to stay and explore more with him. We would go back just to visit Claudio as we count him now as a friend.

I always say I shouldn’t have gone with Colombia for my first trip out of the country, because it’s going to be tough to live up to it!

As a woman traveling alone to a remote part of Colombia I decided to use an agency. I have to tell you KimKim was excellent! Wendy made me feel more than confident and assured me if I needed anything she was just a text away….and she was. Any questions no matter now big or small were welcomed. When plans were delayed due to weather while I was in a remote part of the country she was attentive and made sure I was comfortable as could be during the situation. She absolutely treated me like... read more

A quick review for your quick reminder. Despite our COVID set-back, we have positive feelings about our trip. In fact, it was having KimKim’s arranging of our need for an altered itinerary that was especially helpful. Both of our guides, Yube and Roberto, were good, but Yube was especially good. We liked the way she talked about a wide range of subjects, something that gave us a sense of Colombia today. And our best day was the one where we went up to the mountains with her (although we never understood why we used a boat instead of tubes).
Dear Marcia,
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy you had a great experience in Colombia. Despite the Covid, our guides did their best to give you a good experience in Santa Marta and Cartagena. I hope you will come back so you can visit the Amazon and Bogotá.
Have a great night and regards to Mr. Jackson and Dale´s family.
We love Colombia! Thank you Margoth.

We love Colombia! It was a romantic, elegant cultural experience that gave us 10 days of non stop fun. Margoth was incredible. She planned a trip that was customized to us. I was not an easy client. Due to illness I had to cancel a big hike and Margoth saved our trip. She gave us smaller hikes including one up a rain forest river, a beautiful raft down a remote river and 2 nights in an elegant resort on exotic Baru. She chose incredible restaurants, found us the best guides and made... read more

We had a great trip to Colombia. Both Felipe and Margoth helped us during the entire vacation and took care of everything from start to finish. All was outstanding but we especially liked our travel guide Pablo in Medellin, our tour to Cafe de la Cima, chocolate tasting at El Arsenal The Rum Box, Cartagena and the cooking class at Oh La La also in Cartagena. We would not hesitate to recommend Felipe to anyone that wants to visit Colombia. read more

The trip planning and customization was easy and well managed. The overall trip plan was organized well. The itinerary was well thought out, covering some of the most essential areas of the country given our interests. The plan and communication around hotels, drivers, daily activities and travel were all communicated well. Most of the local guides were excellent. One, in Medellin, seemed a bit less well-versed and enthusiastic than the others, but was sufficient for the tours.

Overall we had an amazing experience on our trip. Everything was well organized and planned with detail which was a relief. I was surprised to have the same guide for all the days we’d stay in each city but it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Fabiola, Jose and Oscar were knowledgeable and fun. A few improvements with choice of hotel and preparation for tours could be made but nothing extreme. We will definitely be using Kim Kim for our next adventure. read more
Dear Amber,
thank you very much for your comments about the hotels, guides and activities! We are glad to hear that you had a great time in Colombia! Too bad that it was a bit louder in the hotels - In Colombia, people like to party a lot and listen to loud music :P. Would be great if we could welcome you soon again in Colombia.

Our first trip to Colombia was nothing short of amazing! Andrea and our team of local guides (Juan Carlos and Jasmine, to name a couple) made sure everything ran seamlessly and added so many special touches to our planned experiences. We especially loved our stay at El Nido del Condor Ecolodge; it was beautiful and offered a quiet respite from the busier days touring Medellin and Cartagena. We couldn’t have thought of a better trip and would absolutely use KimKim again in the future! read more

Outstanding and adventurous 2 weeks in Colombia

Jan 28 - Feb 11, 2022
We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the country of Colombia. Felipe and his team planned an itinerary for us that was perfect. We had outstanding guides and drivers. In particular Diva, in Santa Marta and Jose in Medellin were excellent for learning the culture, the food, the history, and all the natural beauty that their regions had to offer. Having a professional driver throughout the country was critical to a relaxing trip. The roads are good but crowded with many different types of... read more

This is the first time my wife and I have used a service like KimKim and we would recommend it very highly. We told Andrea the areas that we wanted to visit and the activities that we like doing and she developed a detailed itinerary for us. This included our daily activities, local flights, transportation, hotels, etc.
We spent 20 days in Columbia and had a very active trip of multi day hiking, city tours, food tours and different excursions in various parts of Columbia. Andrea was there... read more
Mr. Dave,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us about your experience in Colombia. It was a complete honor for us to serve you.
It was amazing that you visited destinations that are not the most touristic. Thank you for discovering and learning about Colombia in such a unique way.
Colombia waits for both of you always with open arms!

Colombia was phenomenal - we had such an authentic, local experience due to the effort and care put into our trip plan by our local guide, Felipe. KimKim made it easy to communicate with updates constantly through WhatsApp while we were in the country, and catered to every need we had that popped up.
Medellin was like a tropical, Spanish-speaking San Francisco - a must see! Cartagena was an enchanting colonial Spanish town. I hope to have those wooden windowsills and white walls on a latin... read more
Hola Andrew, Thank you for your review and feedback, and it was amazing having you in Colombia! Thank you for trusting us with your trip and we hope you come back! I loved your description of Medellin as a tropical, Spanish-speaking San Francisco by the way :)!

We have never heard of KimKim or used it before, but it worked out very well. Felipe and his associate were very responsive and available at all points, checked in with us to make sure things were running tight and we’re just super helpful. We loved Medellin and our city tour there. The restaurant reservations everywhere worked well and were appropriate for what we wanted. Cartagena was more heavily touristed than we expected but our city guide Manu was great, and the hotel was very nice,... read more

So glad we used this service! COVID had really taken a lot of the fun out of planning trips since there was so much uncertainty and so many restrictions to keep track of. Rafaja's team made it so easy. We knew very little about Colombia coming in to the trip planning and Rafaja was so patient as we honed in on what we wanted and made recommendations that we never could have come up with on our own. A great example was when we went to the Pacific coast and people kept asking us how we... read more

My 16 year old daughter & I took a trip to Cartagena, Colombia this past summer. I was a little nervous about a trip like this with just us , but the help planning & the tips that I was given from Rafaja made the trip amazing.
Rafaja helped us arrange a walking tour of the city with our amazing guide Will, a trip to Rosario Islands, a mother-daughter photography session in our favorite part of town(Getsemani) and a fishing trip that we couldn't go on due to my food sickness. Our favorite... read more

Thank you Margoth, Felipe, Martin, Juan Carlos, Jaruen, Jose, Maria, and drivers for a fantastic trip to Colombia. Thank you for sharing your beautiful country with us. Margoth put together a wonderful trip fitting in everything I asked for at a busy time of year. Our trip included Cartagena, Santa Marta, Rosario Islands, Tayrona, Minca, Medellin, Guatape, Rio Claro, Tabio, and Bogota. The guides were very passionate about their cities and taught so much about the places and culture. They... read more

Family of 4 (kids ages 9 and 11), 1 week in Colombia (Bogota and Cartagena), Margoth arranged an amazing trip. Everything was seamless from pickup/dropoff at the airports, to all tours with local English guides, and reservations at top restaurants. It was my eldest daughters birthday and she arranged a very special day for her with treats and birthday celebrations throughout the day. There was constant communication throughout the trip and nothing was left to chance. They even arranged a... read more

I want to preface this review by saying that I've traveled to almost 50 countries, so I've had my fair share of trip planners that I've worked with. Margoth has by far been the most efficient, professional, responsive, and thoughtful one I've ever encountered!
We just got back from a trip to Medellin last week. There were 8 travelers, all with different arrival and departure dates. Margoth seamlessly planned around each individual and crafted an itinerary that best fit our needs and numbers... read more
Dear Sumi,
Thank you for your kind words and comments, and it was a pleasure for all of us to meet you all and have you in Colombia. Thank you as well for taking the time to write this review, I really appreciate it. Your guide Juan Manuel had a great time with all of you and spoke highly about you. He called me today to make sure you had all arrived safely back home, and sends you his best wishes as well!
We really hope you come back to Colombia, and sending you my very Best Wishes for this year, Margoth

Where to even begin! First, I believe Margoth deserves a lot of credit for her resilience in assuring me a safe and very special experience for my first ever international trip outside of the US! Having never even left the country before, I always had major doubts in myself, but something in my gut told me to go with this..
I didn’t want to do anything really typical. I didn’t want the all-inclusive resorts with lots of other US tourists. I wanted to be plummeted into another culture and... read more

In one word "EXCELANT".
I would like to say as a traveling person, the trip that we had to Colombia was more than what we expected. Other than the beautiful sites that we visited, it was organized so well that all 4 of us were very happy from all the organization that Margoth and Felipe arranged.
They took care of all the reservations for the hotels, restaurants and even they made all the flight check ins for us. We did not waste even one minute for any arrangements.

Oct 17 - Oct 23, 2021
In Bogota, I was very pleased with my guide Mafe, as well as the driver(s), and my guide Lina for a game of Tejo.
In Medellin, I was also extremely happy with my driver Claudia and my guide Daniel, as well as my guide Flako in Communa 13.
What made the tours of both cities go so well, is that having one guide the whole visit means they know what you have done so far and have not done yet, so if/when schedules or interests change, they can be flexible without being redundant or missing... read more
Hi Todd,
It was a pleasure meeting you! And all of your guides and drivers have spoken highly about you and felt fortunate to have the chance to meet you and spend time with you in their cities.

We had a great time in Cartagena, all the activities planned by Margoth were thoroughly enjoyed. She hit on the nail with all her suggestions. Caro our chef was informative and fun, can’t wait to use the recipes we practiced. Manu was the perfect guide for our Mangrove experience, and Martin was so knowledgeable and courteous. Our Rum tasting with Jesus was super fun, not to mention our coffee tasting class “bautizo”, I guess I didn’t know much about coffee ☕️, great experience.

Natalia was awesome! I reached out to kimkim and provide details of the experience my group wanted to have in Colombia and Natalia delivered. We received a detailed itinerary of our daily activities with a background of the culture for each location and all our flights were booked. When I had any questions, Natalia was quick to respond to my text. This trip was for my birthday and on the day of my birthday Natalia and the kimkim team sent me a bottle of whisky and cake, that was very sweet and thoughtful. I will be using them for the rest of my travels based on my first experience.
Best vacation ever!

I visited Colombia from 8/28-9/4 and used the trip planning service kimkim and Margoth was my agent.
I planned to go with my son but he was unable to go due to work so I went solo. I did no research before I left and just knew I wanted a very active trip and made sure Margoth knew that.
Margoth suggested I visit Bogota and Medellin and did a great job of offering me different options for daily activities. I knew I wanted to hike, bike and go white water rafting and Margoth found me great... read more

Oliver was great managing the whole COVID19 situation, ensured I had the most uptodate information so I could make an informed decision to leave as soon as i possibly could.

Even though I couldn't enjoy everything Colombia had to offer, I was well looked after with really great accommodation and itinerary options. Thank you Oliver!

Our itinerary was unfortunately truncated by the COVID pandemic travel restrictions but we have nothing but praise for Margoth’s concern and support... read more
