This is the first time using kiwi for our travel arrangements. we were a bit uneasy at first since the headquarters is based out of the united states and the word kiwi did not help build confidence. our experience, after our trip, was pleasant with the service received from kiwi. we are very happy with the service and the price which made it possible to take a short trip. thank you very much.
