Kimkim Trip Reviews

We loved this small hotel on Korcula. The most special part was the staff. What a lovely group of young men (and one woman), who were so fun to talk to, gave great recommendations and just all around great service! Bojan and Dino were especially kind. The food there was also quite delicious. It’s a short walk from old town of Korcula and right across the road from the water. Lovely spot!

A great hotel with its own private beach. An excellent location to relax and do nothing.

A great Hotel, right in the middle of tourist attractions! Great rooms, tasty breakfasts, friendly personnel. Highly Recommended!

An awful choice. Far from most hotel and tourist areas. Water is always cold, and sometimes, no water at all. Toilets don't work properly. The personnel are extremely unfriendly. The featured buffet actually counts the pieces and does not allow refills.

An excellent choice! great accomodations, clean, and friendly. Excellent Tour guides and boats. Highly recommended

Great hotel, especially if you're traveling with a group. A great way to save, booking fewer rooms, because each room has 5-8 beds

An excellent hotel and a very tasty breakfast

So much fun! Not at all scary. Slapstick comedy that wa great for our family with kids ranging from 6-12 years. Guides were hilarious yet still provided some great history of the town. Kids loved the “scary” bits and tried to catch the guides as they added some surprises to the tour. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to learn a little history with comedy and ghost stories thrown in. Great for families!

What a cool experiences! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the park and Irish history. He offered stops for pictures and even took family pics for us. He let the kiddos sit up front with him and feed the horse a small snack. I would absolutely recommend this horseback tour to anyone visiting Killarney National Park!

Awesome experience to try Dublin-centric foods. Guide gave a great overview of the city as we walked from place to place as well as the foods and eateries we visited. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who loves food!

Our driver and guide was such an incredible host. Not only did he provide culture and history during our drive, he made sure we had personalized experiences at every tour or stop. He also took tons of pictures and recommended extra stops and places to eat.

Finding the entrance to Palazzo Tasso was a bit confusing at first, but fortunately the hotel’s website included helpful instructions on how to access it from a nearby side street. Once we arrived, we found the location to be excellent. Tucked away on a quieter street but just steps from Piazza Tasso, it offered both convenience and a peaceful atmosphere. Palazzo Tasso is a straightforward hotel, with a reception desk and guest rooms but no common areas for socializing or relaxing. That suited us perfectly, as we stayed there toward the end of our trip and were mostly looking for a comfortable place to recharge after long days of exploring. Our room had several thoughtful features that we especially appreciated, including keyless entry with a code instead of a traditional key, a balcony overlooking the main street, a spacious shower, and a high-quality Dyson hair dryer. Those details made our stay feel both easy and comfortable. Overall, Palazzo Tasso was a great base for enjoying everything Sorrento has to offer.

We had a wonderful stay at Imperati Suites. While it is not located right in the middle of town, the location was still very manageable and offered a nice balance of convenience and tranquility. It is close enough to the road that arriving with luggage was easy and did not require navigating too many stairs. Getting to the beach was straightforward, with several routes to choose from. We especially enjoyed taking the longer path, which involved fewer stairs and offered beautiful views along the way, as well as plenty of restaurants and shops to explore. Katia was incredibly welcoming and always available to answer questions or help with anything we needed during our stay. Her hospitality made us feel right at home. The rooms were surprisingly spacious, exceptionally clean, and very comfortable. However, the highlight of our stay was waking up each morning to the stunning view and enjoying breakfast on the balcony. It was the perfect way to start the day and one of our favorite memories from Positano.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Mignon. The location was excellent - just a short walk from Piazza Tasso - and we loved having a market and bank nearby within walking distance, which made everything incredibly convenient. The staff were warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated and impeccably maintained. Every area felt clean and inviting throughout our stay - especially the dining and outdoor areas. While the rooms are not large, they are thoughtfully designed and make great use of the space. Our room was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. As Americans visiting during the summer, we especially appreciated how well the air conditioning worked! We would absolutely stay at Hotel Mignon again and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Sorrento.

The private hike along the Path of the Gods was another highlight of our trip to Italy. Our guide, Vincenzo, was fantastic. He was engaging, easy to understand, and struck the perfect balance between sharing information and simply letting us enjoy the experience. He pointed out interesting sights along the trail, matched our pace perfectly, and shared stories about both Italian culture and his own life, which made the four-hour hike pass surprisingly quickly. We hiked from Agerola to Nocelle and then continued on to Montepertuso, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The scenery was absolutely stunning throughout. Some of our favorite moments included seeing herds of goats on the mountainside, passing residents tending their gardens, and walking the same paths that donkeys traveled centuries ago. We also loved stopping at the lemonade stand in Nocelle and seeing the walkways that locals still use to travel between Nocelle and Montepertuso. As fans of Nicki Positano’s YouTubevideos, it was especially fun to recognize many of the views and landmarks we had seen online. This is not an easy hike, so we were very glad that we brought hiking shoes and plenty of water. That said, the effort was more than worth it. After finishing the hike, lunch at Ristorante Il Ritrovo in Montepertuso was the perfect reward and a wonderful way to end an incredible experience. We would highly recommend this excursion to anyone looking to experience the Amalfi Coast beyond the beaches and town centers.

This full-day boat excursion to Capri was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Having experienced it firsthand, we now fully appreciate the value of taking a private boat directly from Sorrento rather than navigating the ferry to Capri and joining a tour from there. The experience was seamless, relaxing, and allowed us to enjoy the island from an entirely different perspective. Our guides, Mario and Rafaello, struck the perfect balance of being welcoming, accommodating, and knowledgeable without ever feeling intrusive. We had already spent time exploring Capri by taxi a few days earlier, but seeing the island from the water was a completely different experience. They pointed out the various coves and took us to the quieter side of the island that we had not yet discovered. One of our favorite moments was being able to jump into the crystal-clear water and cool off during the day. The leisurely lunch on the island’s quieter side was exactly what we needed and provided a perfect break from the busier tourist areas. This excursion gave us some of our favorite memories from Italy, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast.

We loved the location and convenience of this hotel's setup- the rooms were right next to the pool with a very handy kitchenette to store leftovers, make drinks, etc. The pool was lovely although definitely needs more shade first both swimming and sitting. The kids activities were great and the little soccer field was a hit. More beach chairs would be helpful as well. The staff was helpful in planning excursions and walking down to the Marina was convenient and beautiful.

Wonderful unique place! Having a room at the top of the mountain was a challenge and mild inconvenience with kids, but the shuttle was fast and predictable. The highlight was the very warm hot springs pool/bar, and the water slides for the kids were a hit for hours. Close to La Fortuna for dinner, near the excursions, etc.

Wonderful experience even for the littles – the staff was kind and helpful to the slightly nervous kiddos, and everyone had a great day

A lovely family friendly activity that was safe with just enough excitement to keep everyone engaged. The raft guides were knowledgeable and friendly and we had a great experience even in the rain.

Not luxurious, but very comfortable. Right on Copocabana beach

Clearly the best place to stay

Just went for a walk

Worth the time.

Don’t know that i learned anything.

Don’t miss it

Brief stay - not close to amenities or restaurants

Good hotel - helpful staff, clean rooms, good breakfast, walking distance to old town and shopping

Perfect location to the beach and short walk from town, this hotel offered a lot of charm. We also enjoyed the pool and a wonderful morning breakfast.

A really nice and authentic experience with music and dinner. Food and atmosphere were great!

An amazing experience - exceeded our expectations. Good food, great facility and the instructor was very knowledgeable and led a great class!

This hotel was in a great location, just a short walk from the canal for convenient water taxi transportation. It was close to excellent restaurants, yet far enough away to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. Our room featured large windows overlooking one of the few private gardens in the area, providing a beautiful and tranquil view.

Located in the heart of Florence, this hotel was spacious, clean, and perfectly situated for exploring the city. Being right next to the square was incredibly convenient, although it was a bit louder in the evening than I would have preferred. The breakfast room was fantastic, and the croissants were absolutely delicious—the perfect way to start each day.

Our room was quiet, clean, and centrally located, making it the perfect base for exploring the area. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. We had a wonderful experience and would gladly stay here again.

This tour was definitely helpful in understanding the rich history of Florence. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and did a wonderful job bringing the city's history to life. The experience gave us a much deeper appreciation for Florence and its incredible cultural heritage.

It was clear that our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and well educated on the subject. She shared a wealth of fascinating information throughout the tour and even extended our time together to show us a few additional sites. My husband asked plenty of questions, and she answered every one with confidence and depth. Her expertise and enthusiasm made the experience both informative and enjoyable, and we left with a much greater appreciation for the history and culture.

Matteo was a fantastic guide and introduced us to a less touristy part of the city, where we were able to experience some of the region's most delicious and authentic foods. It was such a fun and flavorful experience and a wonderful way to explore neighborhoods we might never have discovered on our own. We also enjoyed meeting some of the local people who live and work in the area, which made the tour feel even more authentic. This was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our trip.

Throughout the tour, Andreas shared fascinating insights into the local culture and history at every stop. In Lucca, we learned about the village's rich past, visited the home associated with the story of Pinocchio, and explored the lively market square that was once an ancient Roman gladiatorial arena. We then enjoyed lunch and a wine tasting at Fattoria Enzo Carmignani, where our gracious hostess introduced us to several excellent white and red wines. It was a very different experience from the smaller, family-owned winery we had visited a few days earlier, giving us an appreciation for another side of Tuscany's wine culture. The day concluded in Pisa, which was the highlight of the tour. Andreas provided an in-depth history of the Leaning Tower, explaining both the era in which it was built and the remarkable engineering efforts that have preserved it over the centuries. His enthusiasm, expertise, and storytelling made this one of the highlights of our visit to Tuscany.

Elena was so engaging, friendly, and welcoming. She shared so much about the local culture and history, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. Burano was an absolute gem and was definitely the biggest surprise of our trip. As we traveled through the canals, Elena pointed out each of the islands we passed and was a wealth of knowledge about them. Her enthusiasm and expertise made this one of the highlights of our visit to Venice. The perfect ending of our week in Italy.

While Siena and San Gimignano were both amazing medieval villages to explore, the highlight of the day was our private winery tour and lunch with Martina and her family. The homemade food and Chianti were absolutely delicious, and the setting was breathtaking—like stepping into an Italian painting. It was a truly authentic and unforgettable experience that we will always remember.

We learned so much about the history of ancient Rome on this tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and engaging. Her passion for the subject made the experience even more enjoyable, and we came away with a much deeper appreciation for the history of Rome.

Cannot emphasize enough that this should be a highly recommended activity.

Wonderful hotel, truly top class luxury and service

Location a little outside of town but walkable or a short 5 minute drive. Host was excellent and informative. Room and bed were very good and comfortable.

Good central location and parking nearby (paid). Near lots of attractions and good restaurants. Nice bar with music at night (both traditional and other).

Location is the best thing about this hotel - Right next to the visitor center and a short walk to the giants causeway. Service in the restaurant was quite slow. Room was comfortable and clean.

Exxcellent room, Location and Staff. Would happily stay there again. Note because of the location on St Stephans Green there is no parking and limited place to stop and drop off luggage. Parking is available in close by (10 minute walk) and subsidized. Vey helpful staff and good breakfast.

Wonderful location - outside town so quieter but within a 10 minute flat walk. Excellent facilities including an indoor pool and a play area for children. Great food and an excellent breakfast (best of the trip). Traditional music in the bar. Room had an great view. Note that this is a wedding venue as well so sometimes I expect that there will be louder music.

I only give it a 4 out of five because the rooms that were booked did not exist. Alternatives were given and all worked out fine. Also: Hotel 3 Puntas Valle Nevado had the only night time bar/lounge and the noise was constant - however if the men were in the age group - all would have been fine and they learned to live with it.

No air conditioning, and no hot water. Beautiful and nice people but AC is a must.

Our family trip to Costa Rica was truly one we will never forget, and Casa Fantastica played such a special part in making it so meaningful. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, relaxed, and cared for. Carlos and Sarah, the concierges on the property, were so helpful. The beauty of the home, the incredible views, and the peaceful surroundings gave us the perfect place to slow down and enjoy time together as a family. The cleaning staff, laundry staff and maintenance people were great and so attentive to our needs and requests. A huge part of what made our stay so memorable was Chef Sarah, and her assistant, Natalia. Sarah wasn't just an amazing chef, she became part of our experience. Her warmth, kindness, and attention to every detail made us feel like we were being cared for by a friend. Every meal was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. Sitting around the table sharing those meals became some of our favorite moments of the entire trip. Casa Fantastica gave our family the gift of unforgettable memories, laughter, connection, and time together that we will always treasure. We are so grateful for the hospitality and care that went into making our stay extraordinary. Costa Rica will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we hope to return to Casa Fantastica again someday.

This was a wonderful family activity. Sailing aboard a pirate ship in the ocean. What could be more fun. Brian on the staff made our time at sea an adventure and so much fun. We had a wonderful dinner and drinks. Took time out to enjoy the ocean snorkeling, or paddle boarding, or just lounging in the ocean with a pool noodle. We were also able to see dolphins swimming next to our boat. Highly recommend this experience.

Ciala was a beautiful place with many amenities. The staff were attentive and took good care of us.

Our room looked out over the lake. It was beautiful. There were baboons all over as well as hydrax on the lawns. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I woke up one morning with a kidney stone and there was a nurse on the property who helped me so much. It was an amazing experience.

This yurt type room was fun and felt like we were in the wilderness. There were monkeys in the trees that were fun to watch. It was beautiful. The staff were attentive and helpful. I could have spent days there.

It was beautiful. Zebra came up to the rail on our patio. Being able to look at the lake from our room was gorgeous.

Everyone attended to every need we could have possibly had. We especially enjoyed Maureen

A once in a lifetime opportunity. Thanks for making it happen for us.

Very fun and got to see many animals

Unequalled!! This is a must

I would have left this experience out. We have fed giraffes at our local zoos. They are beautiful animals and I didn’t realize there are different kinds. It was educational but again, I would have forgotten e this one.

When we got to the lake we thought we would be on a boat like a pontoon or equivalent. This boat was a rowboat with a motor. It ended up being such a great experience. Made us a bit nervous at first. Highly recommend it.

We really appreciated putting this in our schedule. Joseph was very accommodating of our wishes.

Have seen places like this in the USA

Wonderful

This was so fabulous. We saw so many different animals and had the unbelievable pleasure of seeing the beginning of the Great Wildebeest Migration.

Our first experience with Safari. It was beautiful.

Beautiful hotel in the heart of Puerto Ayora. Lovely rooms and Very nice breakfast buffet. Close to shops, restaurants, and the Darwin Center.

Wonderful cruise ship in the Galapagos. Comfortable rooms, excellent food, and great staff.

Fantastic hotel in the heart of Quito. Excellent rooms and great breakfast buffet.
