    My wife and I planned and completed a trip to Japan (our first trip there ever) - specifically Okinawa and Tokyo - last September to see family stationed there. We came across Kimkim Travel in our research, and then reached out to determine what Kimkim can provide us. We ended up speaking with Leny who lives in Japan. Leny was an excellent resource for us and provided us with a wealth of information on all aspect of visiting Japan. We had multiple conversations with him back and forth, and although we did not ultimately use Kimkim travel, Leny's guidance and suggestions were well-received and appreciated. Since most of our two week stay was concentrated in Okinawa, we were able to make those arrangements ourselves. Yet Leny's guidance on out final three days in the Tokyo area (Yokohama specifically), helped up locate a wonderful hotel (The APA Hotel, Yokohama) and guided my younger son and his wife on their many adventures to Kyoto and Disneyland Tokyo. IF we had planned a longer stay in the Tokyo area, I know we would have taken advantage of Leny's suggestions even further. Regardless, Leny was a great help to my family and me and we wanted to thank him - and Kimkim Travel - for their services, suggestions, and guidance that helped make our trip last September a wonder once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thanks, Leny!

    Recently used to book a trip to Japan for the Hokkaido Japow. Needed a company who could sort airport transfers for a group of eight and all of our gear to and from Sapporo while we acclimated and then return to to the airport to pick up our rental cars. We also used the company for airport transfers in Tokyo. Four of us who decided to stay a bit longer. We took a guided tour with. Kimura who was fantastic. Showed us around many sites to include a temple and shrine, gardens, fish market. Even made us a reservation for dinner. All went smoothly despite some wintry weather conditions and what could've been many delays. Would highly recommend Kimkim and our travel agent Sandy.

    Camel ride to Camp Tiziri, Sahara Desert. "Tony" my camel was awesome!

    I cannot say enough about how well our trip went. From the planning with Hassan, to the route we took, hotels we stayed at, exploring we did, cities we visited, and food we ate. Khalid our driver and companion for 10 days was absolutely top shelf. He was friendly, funny, beyond knowledgeable, great driver, and super helpful as we navigate his gorgeous country. KimKim made travel easy, took away any decision fatigue, and delivered on what they promised....an unforgettable experience.

    Great experience with kimkim in our trip the Tahiland. Top notch quality, easy to work with, timely and accountable. absolutely will use them again!

    Trip of a Lifetime in Morocco! Perfectly Planned & Unforgettable! We just returned from the most magical journey through Morocco, organized through KimKim and we cannot recommend them highly enough! Every moment of this trip was thoughtfully planned, perfectly paced, and filled with unforgettable experiences. Our guide and driver, Illyce from Origins Travel, made this trip extraordinary. He was warm, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and an exceptional driver through every twist of the mountains and desert. Traveling with him felt like being shown Morocco by a friend who loves his country deeply and wants you to love it too. A huge thank-you to Said from KimKim, the local agent who customized our trip to our interests with perfection. The itinerary balanced historical sites, cultural immersion, incredible scenery, adventure, and time to savor each destination. Every accommodation was unique, beautiful, and full of Moroccan charm: * Rabat -- Riad Kalaa * Chefchaouen -- Lina Ryad & Spa * Fes -- Riad Fes Maya Suite & Spa * Merzouga Desert -- Sahara Sky Luxury Camp * Ouarzazate -- Riad Tama & Spa * Marrakesh -- Riad Hikaya There are too many highlights to list -- but here are a few: * Exploring the blue city of Chefchaouen and hiking to the Spanish Mosque at sunset * Private tour of Fes with visits to the tile cooperative, rug artisans, and tannery -- and yes, we brought treasures home! * Sunset camel ride and starlit drum circle at Sahara Sky Luxury Camp * Quad biking in the Sahara was a true adventure! Really amazing to be deep in the dunes * The extraordinary hospitality of the Berber people in the High Atlas, including lunch in a mountain village home * Private tours of Marrakesh, especially our incredible guide Abdelhak who was the best city guide we've had in any country! * A spectacular food tour in Jemaa el-Fnaa square at dusk -- so much delicious food! * Scenic drives through the Atlas Mountains, complete with feeding wild monkeys on the roadside * Coffee stop and tour at Sir Richard Branson's incredible Kasbah Tamadot property in the mountains * Witnessing a massive, emotional national celebration in Marrakesh as the territory of Western Sahara officially became a part of Morocco. A once-in-a-lifetime cultural moment! Morocco is now one of our favorite destinations in the world. The beauty, history, food, people, and culture captured us completely. Traveling with KimKim made it effortless and extraordinary. We could not give a higher recommendation. If you're dreaming of Morocco, arrange your trip with KimKim, and if you can, ask for Illyce. He made our trip unforgettable.

    There are so many organizations that take students abroad these days, but I can say with absolute…read moreconfidence that Dragons offers the most unique, comprehensive, and life-changing experience available. I've been lucky enough to attend two of their programs, one 6 week summer course in high school, and one gap year semester before beginning college. "Attend" isn't even the right word; being a part of a Dragon's course is a full wake-up call to all your senses, a hands-on adventure that teaches students to engage deeply in the foreign world around them, and reflect on their own personal growth throughout the course. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think back to my experiences abroad with Dragons, and how these courses continue to affect me. At school, I am in a number of leadership positions that require skills that I picked up through Dragons- communication skills, learning how to give and receive feedback, navigating my needs with the needs of a group, responding sensitively to a completely different way of life and set of values, and so much more. Dragon's taught me to always look for ways to raise the bar- to constantly question if I am living a life that is aligned with my values, if I am taking full advantage of all the opportunities around me. This skill couldn't be more valuable in a college setting, and I started college after 3 months in Indonesia with Dragons ready to get the most of my 4 years. There are many qualities of a Dragon's trip that makes it stand out from other programs, but in particular the staff at Where There Be Dragons are some of the most incredible and inspirational people I have ever met. My instructor team on both trips that I participated in remain some of my greatest heroes. Years after our trip, they still check in with me and remember specific goals that I was working on during our course. Having the support of adults who were so invested in my personal experience and how to help me make the most of it, every single day of the trip, was amazing. My mom is the perfect archetype of an over-caring and nervous parent, so the fact that she let me go on not one but two trips to a foreign country says a lot about this organization. If you are looking for a few weeks of coasting on bus tour, or visiting museums apathetically, or chilling on a beach for 6 weeks, don't choose Dragons. If you are ready for an all-consuming adventure that will challenge you, inspire you to raise your awareness of self and the world, find yourself living with homestay families so drastically different than yours but so willing to open their way of life to you, to make 15 of the best friends you've ever had, and to come home and be shocked with how much there is to love in your life, then sign up for any course with Where There Be Dragons. It's the best choice I ever made.

    Last fall, I was a student on the Where There Be Dragons Semester course in Indonesia. I hadn't…read moreplanned on taking time off between High School and College, but my ED school (Middlebury College) accepted me with a gap semester. The idea terrified me, challenged me, and ultimately has been an incredible gift. The course with Dragons changed my life. One of the most incredible parts of Dragons courses are the instructors. Each program is made up of twelve students and a minimum of three instructors, at least one of whom is native to the country where the course is based. The instructors are chosen because of their experiences as travelers, teachers, and citizens of the world, and each came to the program with a wealth of experience in human rights, conservation, academics, and cultural building. All were wonderful, passionate people with a will to open our minds, widen our knowledge of this world, and to grow with us as we experienced the consciousness-expanding wonder of deep, informed travel. Whether the experience is four weeks or three months, being immersed in a new culture can be immensely challenging. It is so important to have quality mentorship in times of intense growth. Dragons recognizes this, and thus the instructors are people who can hold space for this kind of transformative opportunity. I found that, beyond being more than qualified to inform us on human rights issues, the environment, cultural tendencies in the developing and western world, and many more intellectual pursuits, the instructors were there to support us mentally and emotionally. They guided us, challenging us when necessary, but always there for us. They took care of us, but they also helped us learn to take care of ourselves. Another amazing thing about Dragons is the relationship they build with local communities. Everywhere we went Dragons sought to create a sustainable friendship that benefits students and locals equally. This certainly deepens the student experience as it opens up doors for friendships and mentorships. A homestay family that trusts Dragons as an organization will be more likely to get excited about sharing their world with a student. I will never forget the connections I made with parents, children, and friends as we traveled through Indonesia. In each community we studied the culture (religion(s), history, customs, political dynamics, and role of the western world in all of this), environment (conservation issues facing communities, the impact of these on their everyday lives, changes being made going forward, and our roles in these issues), and community (what are the health care and educational systems, how far away is the nearest hospital, how and what language do the children learn to read). We studied all of this through community interaction: we'd sit in on community gatherings, organize talks with the village head, midwife, shaman, workers, and professors, and we'd ask them to tell us about their lives and their world. We also set aside time to process with the group, to learn how best to handle the intensity of our experiences. The course had a great balance of time spent learning with the group and time spent exploring, hanging out, and integrating our experiences into a newfound awareness of self and the world. Each day we would come together for at least two hours to check in with everyone, take care of medical needs, and rediscover solidarity with our peers. When we needed it we would always make time to go snorkeling in the nearby coral reef, explore the regional volcano, sing songs around a bonfire, have a dance party, drink a coconut, and decompress. I know that this trip changed my life. On my own, I never could have made it to such remote and beautiful places, experienced so much depth in new cultures, made such close friendships, and internalized my experience as lasting inspiration. I have been blown away by the integrity and values exhibited by all the staff at Dragons, and I am so incredibly grateful to have been their student. Each student faced many challenges on this program: we went into the unknown and fought against our comfort zones. We pushed into growth and found that, as we were challenged, new worlds started to open up to us. New perspectives appeared, deeper empathy was felt, greater integrity was realized, and we were suddenly more mature, more moral, more in touch with our inner selves, and more sensitive to the lives of those around us in this vast, unpredictable, beautiful world. Having had this experience, I will never be able to live without thinking of myself in service to my community. I can't go back: I will always work harder in my friendships, find ways to explore, adventure, and deepen, and remember that I am a citizen of the world. I wish that more of my friends would do Dragons programs. I have complete faith they would find their minds and souls expanded by it, just as I have.

    We have gone on two trips with Power Place Tours. The first adventure was in Egypt where we visited…read moremany temples with an excellent Egyptian Archeologist who made the many temples and pyramids come to life with his knowledge. Drifting down the Nile was magical in our lovely boat with excellent food and entertainment. Loved the small size of our group. We spent the solstice standing at the foot of the Spinx for sunrise. I was most impressed how the tour guides were able to navigate our temple trips. The temples were essentially empty when we arrived and as we were leaving them huge crowds were arriving. Our second trip was to Machu Picchu. It was a trip of a lifetime and we will treasure the memories forever. So pleased with Power Places we are going on a third trip with them soon.

    DO NOT USE POWER PLACES TOURS!!! Where do I begin with this insane Egyptian experience. Before the…read moretrip even started, I should've known they were unprofessional and money-hungry when Teri Weiss, the owner of Power Places Tours, tried to get extra money from me for a single room that I didn't ask for. Our group was an odd number for double occupancy and she tried to charge me for an extra $2000. All to which I definitely did not pay. Teri sneaks in an extra $80 per person right before the trip for WiFi and non-alcoholic drinks while we were on the boat on the Nile. Not understanding why this wouldn't be included in the price. Unreal for a $7000 ticket price excluding flights to Egypt!!! Also, a day or two before we were all flying we finally received our tags for our suitcases and getting asked about sending them a photo of our passport. Before the trip even started I saw poor-planning. But from the first full day together with her collaborator and "Egyptologist" Emil Shaker, I knew this was going to be a bazaar trip. Walking around with this self-proclaimed "crazy" man (yes he would call himself that), he did nothing short of yelling and constantly raising his voice at our well-traveled ADULT group like a bunch of children. Daily hearing from him in a harsh tone to stay quiet, come closer to him, telling us he didn't have to be there and that he could be elsewhere, literally saying he likes to control people, bullying other tour groups to move, and then later talking about beastiality with donkeys constantly, and personally talking about me and my fiance and "ideas" he had about our private time together...it was truly unbelievable!!! I could go on. All to which he would completely yell at Teri, and she would cower to his every word. Any time I asked Teri a question she would default to Emily to answer. Teri acts like she hasn't done this before, like it was her first time. Oooing and awwwing at everything Emil says. It was all so uncomfortable to observe. We had some early times to temples without the crowds, and private tour to the grand pyramid and The Sphinx in the middle of the night, which were incredible, but Emil made it out like we owed him his life. I personally was told by him twice to "say thank you". On other notes. the food on the boat was tasteless 75% of the time, the hotel in Cairo was supposedly 5-star and didn't look it. Teri overcharges an insane amount on the car to and from the airport. Get an uber! Overall, after the trip I find myself barely talking about these sacred temples, but more about the abusive and inexcusable energy emitted from Emil and the unprofessional way Teri runs her business. As a business owner in New York City of almost two decades, this excursion was one of the most unprofessionally run programs lacking fully in customer service and tact. Again, DO NOT go on the trip with these people to Egypt or anywhere else in the world!
