Planning with Kim is Smart !

You’re in complete control of your Italy adventure – choosing your restaurants, tours, and experiences with my City Guides, Itineraries, and BLOGS. I’m simply here to handle the two essential pieces that are my specialty: securing great flights and finding perfectly located hotels. You design your dream trip, I just make sure you have the best foundation to build it on. It’s the smartest way to plan!

To help dedicate my time to genuine inquiries and avoid spam or non-serious submissions, I charge a small, one time, refundable $10 search fee. This ensures that your request receives the care and attention it deserves. If you book a hotel or airfare through Kim’s Italy, it’s refunded. 

DISCOUNTED & PUBLISHED AIRFARES

With access to millions of discounted airfares on hundreds of airlines, I work to find air schedules that fit your dates and prices that aren't always available to the public. Complex itineraries are welcome! A refundable $10 search fee applies*

DISCOUNTED RATES AT OVER 2,000 HOTELS IN ITALY

With access to negotiated hotel rates and local connections across Italy, I work to secure accommodations in the best locations at prices that meet all budgets from super saver to moderate to luxury. A refundable $10 search fee applies*
