We recently took a two week trip to Italy starting in Naples, touring the Amalfi Coast, Capris and Sicily. The trip exceeded our expectations.We utilized private drivers and private tour guides. It was well worth the money. In every case the driver and guide was on time, if not early. They spoke fluent English and Italian. But most importantly they were knowledgable and were able to escort us through some difficult lines to get us to the correct destination. The tours were intimate and informative. The hands down best guide was Maria, the guide for Trabia and Palermo. We cannot say enough good things about her. Her English was very good and she knew the sites and events in wonderful detail. She was a fount of knowledge. However, what we even valued more, was her attitude and willingness to help. She had previously set up a meeting for us with the keeper of records, for the town of Trabia to track down our ancestors. In Sorento we happened upon a Cooking venue where we were given instructions to made a complete authentic Italian meal. It was amazing and well worth taking the time out of busy tours to enjoy the Italian cuisine.Positano was a joy. The beauty here, and on the Amalfi coast, set the bar that no other area could achieve (except for Capri). The hotel was great. Loved the 75-100 year old Bougainvillea blooming across the restaurant ceiling. Very nice place for the in-shape traveler.Palmero was a very pleasant surprise for us. It had vibrant streets jammed with tourists and locals, and wonderful old/historical buildings to view and enjoy. The hotel was a home run. It was built on the remains of a 500 year old villa and retained sections of the villa's original massive brick walls, floors and ceilings, throughout. The city of Palermo, and this hotel, were our big discoveries during this trip.We would highly recommend working with Brian Chima to make the most out of your time in Italy. It was a hassle free wonderful trip that we will treasure!

My family of four just returned from a two week trip to Japan. We visited Kanazawa, the Kiso Valley and Tokyo. Will at Chima Travel did a wonderful job putting together our trip with things to do and see from a tea ceremony, to hiking the Nakasendo samurai trail, to Sumo wrestling!The Kensington guides were on time and were so nice and knowledgeable. We were so spoiled by them!The hotels that Will picked out were very nice and very convenient to the subway and train stations. We stayed at a hotel overlooking the Shibuya Crossing so we could watch the masses of people crossing the largest crosswalk in the world!It was so nice to not have to worry about getting around because we knew Will took care of all aspects of our travel:) We will definitely be calling Will at Chima Travel for all our travel needs.

Chima Travel has been my exclusive travel resource for the past several years. I take multiple trips per year and I have utilized their services for both large, multi-generational trips as well as travel for two. Chima Travel is extremely helpful every step of the way including trip selection, reservations, insurance, pre-travel details, transfer arrangements, support during travel and post travel follow-up. On a recent trip, one of my flights was cancelled and our Chima agent promptly responded, re-booked us, and proactively contacted both our hotel and tour company to advise them of our delayed arrival. If you are looking for extensive destination knowledge, outstanding customer service, and hassle free travel, I highly recommend that you contact Chima Travel!

If I could give Zero stars I would Chima travel is a horrible company and only cares about superficial details. They don’t care about client experience or employee experience. Buyer beware do not take your money here!! Save yourself some money and book your own travel anyone with half a brain can do that!

I’ve been using Chima since 2024 for three trips to Europe and the UK, and each experience has been outstanding. I’ve worked with Will every time, and he is truly exceptional. He’s incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and always provides great recommendations tailored to what I’m looking for.As a first-time international traveler on my first trip, I had a lot of questions and concerns, but Will addressed every one of them with patience and care. He’s consistently mindful of my budget and makes the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free—something I really value when organizing big trips.Every interaction is friendly, prompt, and helpful. I genuinely can’t imagine using any other agency for future travel. Highly recommend!
