Kimkim Trip Reviews for Argentina

Fantastic location and great restaurant. The room was clean and comfortable.

I only spent one night here and did not have a lot of time to explore, but loved that it was on the water front nestled in the cute little town.

Very large comfortable room in the heart of the jungle.

This is a special hotel in a great neighborhood. The room was great and the staff was wonderful. I enjoyed the hotel breakfast.

This was a very special activity that took me very close to the sea lions. I was a fantastic tour.

Loved being able to see the whales from the beach!

Can't say enough great things about this tour. The Peninsula is so surprising with its diversity of wild life. My guide made sure I saw what the Peninsula had to offer.

The Falls are so unbelievable. Argentina has done a good job of making them accessible for up close viewing. My guide was attentive and informative. He made the experience one to remember.

Loved the bird park. I was up close and personal with many of the birds, birds I most likely would never see in the wild,

The visit to the Brazil side of the falls was not to be missed.

Sandra was very informative about the City and took me to places that interested me most.

We were delayed 12 hours but they tracked and accommodated us.

This was NOT a walking tour. It was fine, but basically a small group big bus drive by tour of the city. So much more to see!

Skipped due do lack of communication with Kristy.

Experience was fair. Guide walked us around town for a little bit then took us to a food hall. A bit basic, though a good introduction to Argentinian food.

Great tour and guide. Despite miscommunication with our planner Kristy, Duncan was able to make a last minute pivot and accommodate what we wanted to see.

Villa Vicuña Hotel Boutique in Salta was our favorite accommodation. It was a charming, small colonial-style hotel, beautifully decorated, and the ambiance was just lovely. Despite some noise that bothered my friend in a room at the front, we stayed in a quieter room at the back, and it was perfect.

La Reserva Virgin Lodge de Selva looked amazing from the pictures, but the reality was quite different. The room we were given was old and not clean, unlike the new rooms shown on the website. Although the service was prompt when I raised the issue, it was late at night and not convenient to switch rooms. The staff was friendly, but the initial mismatch in expectations was disappointing.

The Scenic Drive to Cafayate was extraordinary, thanks to our guide Juan, who was both our tour guide and driver. He created a wonderful video of our journey, complete with stops and pictures along the way, which was a unique and memorable touch. The drive itself was beautiful, and his attention to detail made it a standout experience.

The boat ride up the river and into the Devil's Throat is a must do. After seeing the falls from above and from the sides, riding right up to the base is amazing. So much fun!

Words can not describe the sheer beauty! Every trail leads to a more unique and breathtaking view.

Unfortunately we had a lot of rain the day before the bike tour and the roads were too muddy to navigate. Our guide still took us on a nice ride near the hotel and pointed out lots of fun facts about the trees and the jungle. The Kayak trip up the river was "ok". Don't get me wrong, standing in Argentina, being able to see Paraguay and Brazil and then kayak for a couple of hours on a beautiful day is hard to beat. But, at the end of the day, it wasn't terrible adventurous or exciting.

It's impossible to describe the beauty of the falls. Pictures can not capture even part of the experience. Every angle you see something new and different. Truly amazing!

What a fun "ice hike"! Walking around the glacier and eventually on the glacier was fantastic. The guides were all very knowledgable and eager to share. The glass of whisky with glacial ice at the end was a nice touch!

The Brazillian side of the falls gives you a totally different perspective and so worth doing.

So much fun. worth the money for the experience. Well organized.

A great day out. The falls are immense and spectacular, with so many different vantage points. Plenty of time to walk the trails and take loads of photos.

The night was marred by it taking 75 minutes to get there as we were the first to be picked up and others weren't in the lobby on time, so we did a lot of waiting, and then 50 minutes to get home as we were the last to be dropped off. Mu husband then got sick afterwards (he never gets sick)

A good overview of Buenos Aires. Our guide was knowledgeable and interesting. We learned a lot about buenos Aires in the 4 hours with him.

Our guide Abad made the two days a memorable experience. Viewing the lake from different perspectives gives Lake Titicaca more life. Everyone goes to see the Uros Islands, the floating reed islands, which are incredible, as are the people who live on them. But Lake Titicaca at 4000m, is more than that and to experience it hiking, cycling and kayaking is a great experience as you get to see different perspectives of the region. The home stay was also great to do.

Rainbow Mountain is beautiful as is Red Valley. A must see natural phenomena.

I'd rate it 10 star if I could. Carlos Z our guide was superb as were Wilbur, our chef, and his team of porters.

This kayak on Laguna Puiray was excellent. The guide supplied us with quality kayaks as well as good quality wetsuits and booties. We explored the lake and heard about the history and geography of the area. The picnic lunch was far more than a picnic. It was an amazing spread of local dishes prepared on site just for us. A great day out. Highly recommend the adventure.

Unfortunately they insisted we pay for our room, even though it had been paid for. Easily sorted by Kim Kim. 👍🏻

Loved everything about this hotel! The location, the breakfasts, the staff, the service. Highly recommend.

Another great experience with Marcello!

Excellent communication and transport at both ends.

Marcello was an outstanding guide, a fantastic experience made even better by having a private guide who was passionate about his home. Highly recommend.

5 stars for our transport to the airport in Santiago. Our driver for early and provided great communication, however a poor experience at the airport in Buenos Aries. Whilst we had communication from the transport provider which was pleasing, it took a while to locate our driver outside the airport. Our transport was a taxi and the driver was too busy scrolling through his phone to look for us. (He scrolled through his phone for the whole drive). Unimpressed.

Driver didn’t show. Our plane was early so we understood there may have been a wait. We had no communication from the driver and travel company and they did not respond to phone calls. We were still at the airport well after our plane arrived. Fortunately Kristy from Kim Kim assisted and we arranged a taxi and were reimbursed.

This was quite a unique experience, which allowed us to experience Cataratas to the fullest!

Cataratas are Amazing. Leandro was a great private guide. We really enjoyed the experience.

Sad to leave, but an amazing time. Thank you so everyone here for making it so special.

Wow! So amazing to see this force of nature.

David's share of the cultural way and why of the Mate' was great. It was so fun to hear and expereince.

How do you say perfect and have it give justice to the experience? Everything here was amazing. Staff, food, location, activities. Wow!!!

Stunning to see the glaciers from both views of above and below. Worth the time.

Wow. Just wow. We traveled all over Argentina in our two weeks visiting, and this was one of our favorite site seeing experiences. Talk about amazing! We also were here in April, so there was not a lot of tourists. Great time to go!!! We visited the town as well. It was a great time. Go to Mi Vijeo for dinner!!!

So fun! Hubby was hesitant, and it turned out great! Wish it were two hours so we could have felt a little more ready for the dance floor later.

Our guide, Ramania (unsure of spelling) was amazing! Each place she took us helped give us a better understanding of the depths of BA history. Such a beautiful city.

This place was BEAUTIFUL! Wow. The staff was amazing, the wine and cheese were a great pairing, and the seating was great outside with the beauty of the location.

This little “hotel” is comfortable, the rooms are good and it is very good located because you can wl Alk to the small city without a problem and it has a wonder ful view over the sea, so you can appreciate the sunrise and the sunset with a wonderful view. It would be nice to put a picture

I loved both places to much, it is wonderful to see what it has been done for the nature in there!!!!!

The views arr wonderful and the trip is very nice. Perhaps you have to have a little bit more time in San Martin to see more. We had not a sunny day bu it was also very beatiful.

We had good luck because the day opens a bi and we could ho up tp the volcano, it is wonderful, and in the waterfalls it was not so much water but it was also very nice.

All views were wonderfull and we had enough time in every place. Our guide was really nice and explained us a lot!

The views are beatifull but they are 8 km and no 6-7.

This is a wonderfull tour, you can see a lot of things and the magnificiency of the nature

Only having the possibility of seeing this magnificient glacier is wonderfull!!!

There were not so much pinguins anymore, but I saw them and that was the best!

The place is wonderful and it was also very nice to take the train

Delightful to get up close to the glacier and witness it from another angle. Professional boat staff and the vessel was clean and well-maintained.

Nadia was our tour leader and Gaston was our driver. Nadia was engaging, kind, fun, and very knowledgeable. She gave information in both English and Spanish, and ensured everyone was prepared to enjoy such majestic experience. Thanks Nadia!

Lucas led us on a private group tour on the Laguna Torre trail. He was patient with our pace (we didn't make it to the end) and shared much of his vast knowledge about Patagonia. His passion for the environment and care for all its inhabitants was felt and appreciated. Thanks Lucas!

Rocio took us on a wonderful urban adventure through Palermo, Centro Historico, San Telmo, and La Boca. She was fun, engaging, very knowledgeable, and made it a wonderful tour. We were grateful to use public transportation (subway and bus) for part of it to enhance the experience and feel the city like a local. Thanks Rocio!

The Remota Patagonia Lodge was a standout for us. The style and aesthetics were first-class, with the whole place having a high-end, spa-like feel. The restaurant was excellent and having a swimming pool added to the experience. I would highly recommend it.

We really liked the Palo Santo Hotel. One of my friends expressed a strong desire to revisit, especially because of its location in the Palermo neighborhood. It was super convenient with currency exchanges and restaurants nearby. Overall, it was very comfortable and well-situated.

The visit to the Penguin Colony on Isla Martillo was a mixed experience. While the penguins were interesting and the scenery beautiful, the tour of the museum at Harberton Ranch was excessively long. The content was educational, but a shorter, optional tour would have been preferable as it stretched into the late evening.

We had a wonderful time on the Buenos Aires Walking City Tour! Our guide, Diana, was excellent and really enriched our experience with her knowledge.

Staff could not understand my English when I told them I had COVID and needed to cancel my massage appointment. Darian was rude upon arrival because he was working on his computer. He did not say please nor thank you. The woman and Karla were fine.

Hotel was on a street where many locals hung out. Getting our luggage ourselves was an issue since the bell hops insisted that they get them. Accessing the street was difficult because there always seemed to be a car in front of the hotel.

Loved this hotel due to it's remoteness and the ambiance in the surrounding grounds. Many places to sit and read/visit, etc.

Restaurant was exceptional. Had GF food that I could eat and actually enjoyed. View was good. the flooring could have been better marked because there were drop offs that were unexpected if you weren't paying attention. In other words, the floors were uneven and mostly ramps from section to section

Hotel did not do my laundry even though I asked them several times to make sure that it was ready for check out on the following day

Nice location. Nice restaurant and personnel.

Both the El Principal vineyard and the Santiago vineyard tours were very nice for our last day of the journey.

Guide was unable to answer most of our questions at the church and along the way. She seemed to have a script of what she wanted to tell us. We asked a lot of questions in the church and she said that she did not know. Like the stations of the cross (since it was lent), the nun giving counseling (maybe), etc.

A tour that was scheduled to last for 6 hours took well over 10 hours. Lunch was good; by the end of the day all were exhausted.

We were scheduled to have 2 shuttles holding 12 of us. Only one shuttle arrived so we were delayed in our departure to the airport while the transport company discussed the terms of settlement of the drivers. We did make it to the airport on time but by passing vehicles on solid yellow lines going speeds above normal based upon the sway of the vehicle.

Driver was on time and very patient while all of us arrived at different times from the United States

Flight delays - poor communication with our travel associate. Poor hotel accommodations at the Hilton due to the distance back to the airport, when the holiday inn express was at the airport.

The kayak guides were excellent and the rain gear was awesome. We paddled in the rain and stayed dry. It was a fun experience and we were the only ones on the lake. The "picnic" they gave us for lunch was amazing, and showed they put a lot of care into it. The hiking part of our day was cancelled due to rain, so we didn't experience that.

The scenery was beautiful and our guide gave us good info. The cooking class was disappointing. We folded an empanada and dipped some meat in breadcrumbs, but we didn't actually learn how to cook anything.

Especially loved the small winery. The winemaker was fun and interesting. We visited 3 wineries and there was not an olive factory tour.

Loved this activity. Beautiful scenery and fabulous guide. Nice pace of the day.

Loved it!

Loved the hiking and going under the waterfall on a boat. Beautiful.

It was nice, but the Argentina side was better.

Food was good and the show was thoroughly entertaining.

Our guide was wonderful. Got a good overview of Argentina's history and culture.

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the graffiti murals, tasting the food, and learning more about the Argentinian culture and history. Our guide was fabulous.

The bed was not king size and not comfortable. We were first shown a room with a terrible view, and when we asked, were moved to room with a wonderful view. The staff was nice. The location was great. We could walk to everything we wanted to do.

We liked that this hotel had a nice view of Lago Argentino. The staff was also very helpful when we needed to make arrangements to buy tickets to the national park.

We liked being out in the countryside instead of right in town. The pool was really nice and we ended up meeting and associating with other travelers there. We liked the rooms with the rock walls. The grounds were very nice and had pretty flowers. The staff was helpful to us when we needed to figure out taxis and providing us breakfast extra early because we had to leave early.

The rooms were very nicely appointed. We used the pool each night to relax and unwind. The staff were so helpful. It was located near one of Eva Peron's homes and so that was nice to tour. It was located by nice parks and restaurants. Having breakfast delivered to our room each morning was luxurious.

The Tango and dinner show at El Viejo Almacen was a great introduction to Argentina and its culture. The performance was beautiful, especially with the Gaucho dancers. We had experienced something similar on a grander scale in Mexico City, but this was still a wonderful evening.

The family dinner in Calafate wasn't quite to my taste. It was different from our expectations and felt more centered around wine, which we don't drink. It wasn't really what we were hoping for, and we would probably not do it again.

Our Day trip to Tierra del Fuego National Park was magnificent, thanks to the guide who accompanied us. He made the site come alive with stories and facts, and we even got to walk a bit on one of the islands. This guided exploration was invaluable and added so much depth to our visit.

Visiting the Iguazú Falls, especially the part where we explored the Brazilian side, was breathtaking. The guide made a huge difference in enhancing our appreciation for the place. It was an outstanding experience, and the waterfalls were surreal.

The Perito Moreno Glacier and Safari Azul was an incredible experience. We were on a boat and saw the glacier calving, which was absolutely stunning. The naturalist on board enriched our understanding, letting us get up close and personal. Even though we didn't walk on the glacier, the whole experience felt magical and unique. A must-do activity!

Our group loved experiencing the Patagonia ranch and lunch was a unique opportunity. The boat ride to the edge of the glacier was absolutely breathtaking. Pablo is one of the best guides I’ve ever experienced. He is patient, wise, knowledgeable and witty.

Consider yourself lucky if you have Nacho as your guide for this activity. His enthusiasm is contagious and his knowledge educational. It’s a lovely evening on the lake.

We were truly in a rainforest, complete with birdlife, and amazing trees. We had a screened porch with table and chairs and hammock to complete the rainforest appeal. Other hotels were in town center and while close to restaurants and shops did not seem to offer the appeal of rainforest.

Although a taxi ride away from town center, this was a spectacular location for view. The main lobby was like being in an elaborate lodge or private home. The restaurant upstairs was small and intimate. The breakfast service was also upstairs and was abundant. We stored our luggage on our last day and relaxed in the environment before our airport shuttle arrived. There was an outdoor spa that we didn't use, but again, a glass enclosure with a spectacular view.

Uphill from town center with magnificent views over the water. Easy walk to the pier for excursions.

In a peaceful and safe place in Buenos Aires. Accustomed to English speaking travelers to some extent. No restaurant, but morning delivery of breakfast to your room. While we didn't use, there was a pool, spa, sauna, availability of massage, robes and kitchen set.

While we skipped the Tango lesson, we enjoyed going to a local Milonga with our guide Martene. While a late night, it was a wonderful experience and enjoyed our last night in Buenos Aires.

Wonderful to reconnect with Jessica who first met us at airport and then was our guide to Buenos Aires in our early days of our visit. We visited yet another area full of information. So comfortable to travel with her.

Slightly confusing for us travelers as we picked up at hotels and then many stops to facilitate border crossing. Our apprehension was due to our inexperience. We were a large group that made visiting the Falls together hard to manage. Getting lost was a slight concern in the crowds. However, the trip to BOTH sides of the Falls is not to be missed.

Such a calm experience (1 1/2 hours) after the crowds of the Falls. Interpretive signage in 3 languages. Extensive areas in protected aviaries so you could experience close hand all the birds.

Fun experience down a calm river with 18 people. We didn't have to paddle, just enjoy

The most spectacular waterfalls we've ever experienced. We had a private guide that added to both our knowledge and fun experience.

From a ride by coach to a boat to a long boat ride to 4x4 transport to return, it was a full day of so many experiences. Luch at the restaurant was wonderful! Full service again complete with wine.

From start to finish, we were guided, transferred and informed about the best way to explore the glacier walkways.

How special to be greeted by your host in his home. Gabriel prepared his specialties using his mother's recipes. Lively group that melded well.

Great experience with penguins for an hour on their island

There was confusion about the time of this tour and our expected arrival. You had to get yourself to the port to check in. We arrived too early, and had to wait too long for an average tour. It was informative to be on the channel that separates Argentina and Chile. Guide spoke in English and Spanish but w/o much enthusiasm,

We had to get ourselves to the meeting place (1st restaurant) Walked with a group of 10. We certainly got the flavor of many dishes and different outdoor cafes. We were expected at each location which was welcoming. The one serving steak and sausage was touch and the food dry. Perhaps change this stop.

Having never attended a Tango show, we were warmly greeted and seated. The service was excellent and the show fantastic.

Jessica was the guide that first met us at the airport as we checked into our hotel. We were with her for this walking tour and again when we returned to BA two weeks later. She was super accommodating with some help that we needed and handled everything about our first view of the city so easily - moving from walking, to Uber, to local bus.
