It was the trip of a lifetime. My wife and I were taken care of from the minute we landed in Naples, Italy till the minute we boarded our return flight home. The drivers, guides, excursions, line free admissions and experiences were 100% first rate. Chris and Maria put together a vacation that was completely worry and question free. We were informed in advance who, what and where we were going to experience each day to come. The drivers and guides were native of each city and area we visited and were incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the history and shorter routes. They gave us wonderful recommendations on additional places to visit or eat and even set up reservations where applicable. I learned about kimkim from a friend. Now, I will be the friend who tells others about kimkim for their travel plans. If another travel destination is in future, we will most certainly reach out to kimkim to see if that location is in their planning abilities.

Dear Bob, Thank you so much for your kind words & appreciation. It has been a pleasure working with you on this amazing trip we put together, and I am very happy that all went smoothly and that everything was top-notch, to the standards you requested from the beginning. I remember you mentioning to me: "We count on you to set things up because we have absolutely no idea how to. This is our one-time trip of a lifetime." Well, I think we nailed it! I will also extend your compliments to Maria... Read more

Dear Bob,

Thank you so much for your kind words & appreciation. It has been a pleasure working with you on this amazing trip we put together, and I am very happy that all went smoothly and that everything was top-notch, to the standards you requested from the beginning. I remember you mentioning to me: "We count on you to set things up because we have absolutely no idea how to. This is our one-time trip of a lifetime." Well, I think we nailed it!

I will also extend your compliments to Maria Grazia as well, who was pivotal in her support during your trip, and we are all thankful for trusting us. Thanks also in advance for any recommendations and word of mouth you put towards other travelers, friends of yours.

Until the next time (perhaps Greece?), I wish you all the best, and safe future travels.

Happy Holidays ahead!

Kind regards,
Chris
