Panoramic Dômes

Clermont Ferrand

Train trip from Nimes to Clermot Ferrand was unique 106 tunnels through beautiful landscapes. Well worth the trip back to the south of France. The Domes were better than expected and the history was amazing

In our fifty years of marriage, we have traveled to many places. However this trip to France planned through Kimkim and the AMAZING AMANDINE was the best one ever!!! She gathered our input and created a dream itinerary to enable us to explore that beautiful country to get an excellent overview for the next time we visit!. Each tour was interesting and different and every tour guide was knowledgeable in whatever area or activity we were exploring. Favorites were Chef Fred and our French cooking class in Paris including a visit to the market for our ingredients. Axelle took us on the best food tasting and walking tour in Lyon providing some of our favorite memories! And the Seine dinner cruise was a beautiful (and delicious!) way to spend our last night in France. Amandine arranged all transportation as well from airports to hotels to train stations etc. and each driver was friendly and courteous. She was immediately available when we couldn't find one driver right away and in no time we were in touch with him thanks to her. She listened to our input regarding the type of hotels we especially like and found the perfect ones that offered a variety of styles, great locations and excellent accommodations. Deepest thanks and gratitude to Amandine for the best 50th Anniversary trip we will forever cherish! She is truly a gem and it was a special treat to get to meet her and thank her in person!

French Cooking Class with Market Visit

Paris

Chef Fred was kind and friendly and it was great fun to chat while walking to the subway to ride to the market and then shopping for the ingredients once we decided on our chosen meal. Getting to cook in his Parisienne kitchen and learn delicious recipes was a fun experience and one of our favorite activities in Paris! Plus he promptly emailed them for us to try at home.

We loved meeting Axelle! She was so knowledgeable, friendly and fun. It was a treat trying the variety of offerings at each stop and learning so much history along the way. This was one of our most favorite memories of our trip!

Axelle was a wonderful tour guide! The stop at Shop de la Rue and samplings of the wine, meats, cheeses and bread in their underground stone area was a great experience! The shop owner's son and partner was funny and adorable!!!

Axelle met us in our hotel lobby and we walked through the streets of Lyon together.

Amazing trip to France! Very pleased with Amandine in helping us plan our excursions etc. The itinerary was great. We did have one hiccup (completely our fault) and we ended up missing a train bringing us back to Paris from Bayeux. Within 5-10 mins we had new train tickets in our email and an updated itinerary once getting back into Paris. The communication from KimKim was outstanding during this stressful time of our trip. Cannot say enough how wonderful it was to have everything taken care of due to our error. Hotels were fabulous, tours were nice and small which we like. We didn't have anymore than 6 people on any given tour with most less than that. We will continue to use KimKim for our yearly International trip! Thanks so much.

Amandine was amazing! Working with her was so easy and she was very receptive to my requests. She ended up putting together a fabulous trip for us. We were especially impressed by her quick response when our train was delayed causing us to run late to a dinner cruise. The tours and classes she found and booked for us were definitely the highlights of our time in France. Our whole trip was stress free because of her hard work. Would definitely recommend!

Our specialist, Amandine was tremendous in helping us put together this fabulous trip. Hotels were great and transportation transfers were comfortable and always on time. Our tour guides: Carol - Latin Quarter Gourmet Food tour, Oliver - Versailles, Igor - D Day beaches and Julie - Saint Michel were all very knowledgeable, passionate and a lot of fun.

Fantastic trip in Southern France. Amandine did an amazing job planning trip within 24 hours. Thank you
