Kimkim Trip Reviews for Argentina

Loved this part of our trip! Our guide took us all over the city and we got to try so many different this of local foods!! Highly recommend!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. She took us to many parts of the city all on one day

Martin was an excellent tour guide! He was very patient and very knowledgeable. Always on time, early actually. Would highly recommend him!

This was the least interesting part of our trip. The lake is beautiful, but can be seen by hiking. This long boat trip takes you to Victoria Island, which was just an island with large redwood trees from California . This may be exciting for an older traveler, but took all afternoon just to see a park w trees. Would not recommend this. Use your time hiking, not on a boat ride.

Very cool & modern boutique hotel in a gentrified neighborhood, with many close restaurants.

Great friendly staff

Amazing views and location, very exclusive and spa like.

My stay at CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires was really good. I appreciated the location in Palermo, away from the center but close to shops, restaurants, and bars. It felt less touristy and more chic, which I liked. The only downside was being charged for the coffee in the room, which is unusual compared to the US. Despite mentioning this to the front desk and the manager, they agreed it was strange but couldn't change it. Overall, a great stay with just this minor hiccup.

Staying at Club Tapiz in Mendoza was just glorious. It was so relaxing being outside of the town, and the food was extraordinary. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch there one day and breakfast every morning. Both places we stayed at were really quiet, which I appreciated. The atmosphere was serene and perfect for unwinding.

Rooms were ok but not as nice as the photos from the website. It seems they are the ones from the new building. Basic comfort and restaurant was so-so. Since the hotel is isolated in the forest, no choice but to stay in the hôtel for dinner

The best part of this modern style hotel is its location.

Charming, beautiful hotel, great service and you can also enjoy fantastic massage ! Loved it !!

We had 2 rooms and living room + kitchen upstairs ! Beautiful view on the mountains. Great staff and every night you are invited to some traditional music and glass of wine.

Nice rooms and charming hotel, close from the main square

Was interesting but too short ( only museum and Saint Francisco church) ; could have added one more museum…

Destino Hotel was very comfortable for our family. A new hotel with wonderful included breakfast and friendly staff.

Our hotel was the Ben’s hotel not Mine Hotel Boutique and we loved it. Such a European flare. Location was perfect. All staff were friendly and helpful.

Another lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and unique, European flare. Loved all the special decorating touches. Close to shopping and lovely restaurants. Staff and owner very friendly, and the dog Violet, very helpful with suggestions, making tea, and having conversations.

This hotel was my favorite! Not only were they small and quaint but the ambiance was delightful. The service exceeded my expectations and the stay was so relaxing and lovely!

The front desk was a huge help and the rooms were very clean and lovely

Loved the views from the room. The hotel was very accommodating as well and the staff were so attentive!

Very informative and very well explained of the history and diversity of Buenos Aires. I enjoyed being asked if there was any additional places to revisit and information to be repeated. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and the driver was very patient with all the stops being made.

The wineries were absolutely breathtaking. Views, food, wine, and history of both vineyards were amazing to take in. Very nice lunch and excellent wines. This full day winery tour was a blast and my mother and I enjoyed visiting both vineyards.

The full day of leisure in Mendoza was great for my mother and I. Although it fell on the day that Argentina workers take off to kick back and relax it was a day to view the city and take in its beauty by walking the streets and visiting the local parks. It was a quiet day but absolutely peaceful.

The highlight of my trip. From salinas grandes, plaza de Purmamarca, the highest altitude I’ve ever experienced in my life due to the mountains was absolutely life changing for me. I was taken back by all the amazing landscapes as well as the beautiful people of Purmamarca. I cannot express how humbling this experience was for me.

This tour was just as great as traveling through Jujuy and Purmamarca. Cafayate was a beauty. I was truly in awe with Tres Cruces, Guachipas, quebrada de las conchas, empanadas and llamas. Absolutely breathtaking. Such a memorable trip and once in a lifetime experience.

A great location and a wonderful restaurant. The rooms were quiet and comfortable. The people at the front desk were incredibly helpful.

Comfortable rooms but not terribly quiet. Great location. Super helpful staff. Good restaurant.

Good location and comfortable and quiet rooms.

Perfect amount of time for a hike. Amazing lunch. Fun guides and group. A great experience.

food is excellent, and the staff very attentive to my needs. I recommend that they purchase golf carts for those that are older and can't get around. The on-sight activities are fantasic, archery glass, and bikes a plus, horse back riding and the villas are top notch. the cleaning staff are excellent. worth the price.

PROS the food is excellent the full board experience is un matched. when it comes to food. I commend the chief. 5-stars. The room is clean and for a ranch. Activities the best - especially the horseback riding guide - went out of his way to show us monkeys. CONS WIFI needs to be broaden to many lost signals especially if you haven guests that do a lot of writing drive is long and unpleasant. Being kind.

the staff are excellent. the room and balcony, the authenticity of the hotel was my favorite. 1892 built. WOW!!!!!!!!! the charm and character is unsurpassed. I would definitely stay here again.

PROS Excellent. the villa met all my expectations. Clean, beautiful grounds. everything contained on property Food excellent. Servers - Patricia - lovely in our first night evening meal. the ASADO under the stars - AMAZING !!!!! catered our every need. Too much food, we shared with the staff afterwards, so that it would not be wasted. They were so Grateful. Pottery class - Loved it. Personal attention. CONS they should offer more amenities with the villas, I was fortunate enough that I didn't have to pay for a 20 minute bike ride, they comp me on that. but they should provide other amenities within the property.

PROS breakfast service - perfect. spa services - loved it. CONS WIFI - since we are in such a remote town, the service was nonexistent, was difficult to communicate with family

long ride through the mountain terrain, very narrow trails, but amazing to view the Mendoza valley below. Be prepared on dusty trails, and cool weather. Prepare to gallop at some points on the trail.

Had to cancel this experience. It would have been great if....

the Estancia where we stayed was amazing, and having the VIP experience only 2 people in a large ranch that overlooks the wetlands, rain or shine, just the vast beauty of this place sets it apart. The wildlife....in AWE.

Marcos, was a great. And to see him again, after last years wine tasting and he remembered me. I was taken back that he would remember our talk and asked about my family.

Personal attention on this ride. I truly recommend it.

can't rate this adventure, as we didn't get to experience. due to weather, but we had an alternative by small boat where we managed to see numerous flora and fauna.

From the 1892 Colonial Mission Style hotel, to the town square with all its shopping. I was fortunate enough to see Salta celebrating their Anniversary this day. Parade of Gauchos and China's on traditional attire, dancing through the town of Salta, gauchos yipping and hollering while the crowd watched in awe. Taking pictures at the marvel coming down the street. Our guide Ramiro, knew one of the gauchos and flagged him over to where we were on the steps of the Cathedral and I took a picture with a gaucho. Getting my shoes shined by an old world traditional back in the 40's was a treat. Eating pastel de papa, at an outdoor cafe while a troop of young Salteños matching through the town in uniform and wearing the Salta flag, all ages from 5 to 18. Wow!!!! can't get any perfect than that. Late night shopping, make sure you bring extra luggage to carry it all back with you.

the drive didn't phase me. when you love this country the way I do. the hours fly by and when you have great guide and licensed drivers like KimKim's partners even better. They stop for photo ops and continue on. the Devils Throat, EPIC and to hear Salteños sing the national anthem of Buenos Aires, brought tears to my eyes as their voices filled the cavern. No words.

local town is full of artisans selling their wears. the food is simple but tasty. fall weather in the afternoon is warm and sleepy. and the nights are cool and entertaining. lots to see and do, trekking and to see the Cerro las Senoritas and behold the beauty that the multi color limestone mountains show is breathtaking. can say enough of my experiences here in the land of wonder.

Lot's of tourists, and super hot when the sun beats down on the salt flats. But a sight to behold, on how they mine the salts from this volcanic paradise. Make sure you take protection and drink plenty of water the elevation is brutal to those that push themselves too hard in this valley. you reach height of approx. 4200km back to 2500km within hours, so try to have fun without the expense of pushing your body to hard, slow and easy wins the race.

The hotel was beautiful and the food was delicious. It was my favorite breakfast of the trip. The staff was so warm and friendly

The setting is gorgeous. We had a Mountain View from our hotel room and I could have looked at it all day. The food and drinks were delicious. The Calafate sour was quite memorable. The pool and spa were lovely. Tours excellent.

Gorgeous hotel right in the center of town in the main square. Walk to many lovely restaurants

The hotel lobby is stunning. The pool area is gorgeous and the restaurants were delicious

It was a nice hotel. Very clean. The breakfast buffet was not so great. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and it was excellent. It was on the lake but not walkable to the cute town. They did have a free shuttle though.

We did not enjoy this hotel. The location was not great. There was not a lot of shopping and restaurants that close by and some vacant store fronts. We had the penthouse and it seems more shabby than chic. The breakfast was fine but nothing great.

Good location and nice lobby. The rooms are a little dated. The breakfast was just ok.

Lovely food and a fun show

The Perito Merino glacier is just stunning and if you have the opportunity to get close-up on a boat, I Highly recommended

We had a very good guide. He showed us quite a bit of Buenos Aires and gave us a lot of history. We enjoyed it.

We really enjoyed both sides of the falls but our tour guide was not great. He tried to upsell us to do the Brazilian boat ride $20 pp instead of the Argentinian boat ride we already paid for so that was weird. He didn’t tell us that much about the falls or provide suggestions but where the best pictures were. We cover both sides of the falls so it was a long day but we had to ask him to stop so we could eat lunch at 2:00 because we had been going since 8:30. He told us we could have 30 minutes for lunch at a place that did not have takeout. We changed clothes after we got soaked on the Argentinian side and then then we went over to the Brazilian side and he sent us down a path to see a part of the falls and we got soaking wet again. I thought it would’ve been nice if he had told us that we were going to get drenched again.

This was one of the best tours of our trip. The scenery is amazing. The boat was very nice and the staff were super friendly.

Torres Del Paine is beautiful. We had a cloudy day but our tour guide tried very hard to show us the peaks. He pointed out lots of wildlife and we had a very nice picnic lunch.

The boat and staff were great. The Penguins were just super cute and amazing to watch.

This tour was just ok. There was some history, but a lot of politics and the tour itself just wasn’t that exciting. We had two teens with us and he didn’t try to engage them at all or make it interesting for them.

Somewhat dated. Walkable but a long way to main drag, though taxis are easy. Nice view of lake but not really to the mountains. Mix of great and surly staff. Pretty much lives up to its website—calibrate your expectations. I wouldn’t recommend seeking it out, but if you’re short other options, it serves its purpose.

The hotel view was amazing as we had a lakeside room. The room was comfortable. Breakfast was good although the only eggs on offer were scrambled or boiled . The location is perfect as it’s a short walk to the centre of town

Loved the hotel. The location was perfect. Very nice ambiance. Room was comfortable and v clean

Loved the location and loved the building. Our room was wonderful, especially loved the bathroom. It was huge . The lobby was inviting with very little seating area. The restaurant was great and the breakfast had a wide variety of foods. Even had a chance to try Mate

The staff helpful, cheerful, and caring. We had fun with them in this lovely boutique hotel. Good English and patience explaining and arranging options for us. Restaurant- quiet, private with a lovely wall garden, the staff accommodating as were the hours. Delicious food moderately priced. Decor: quirky mid - Century modern, roomy , with balcony, space and furniture for sitting, colourful and tasteful. Located in a beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood.

A wonderful experience. Thunder and lightning show our first night that went on for hours. The estuary was magic. Wildlife abundant pointed out to us by a good guide. 2 boat rides a day included. Authentic meals in the lodge. Road in a 4 hour ordeal-very rough. Only negative and explains lack of guests.

During our five-night stay at Tierra de Leyendas in Ushuaia, we had a wonderful time. The lodge had a European chalet-style feel, and the owner, who had European roots, provided top-notch service. The rooms were not very spacious, but the overall ambiance was quiet and pleasant. While the location was slightly inconvenient for getting into town, the delicious food and nice presentation made up for it.

A lovely location like an oasis with two pools to cool off in. Our accommodation was clean and comfortable with veranda. On the whole, the resort seems a bit tired but the hidden gem made up for it in spades. A 5 star restaurant that appeared nightly, 2 kitchens, sushi and Italian, gloriously served by young handsome men in suits and bow ties. All affordable priced. Best steak I’ve ever had!

The journey to the lodge was challenging due to the rough road conditions, the experience was well worth it but I would highly recommend ensuring travelers have a sturdy four-wheel-drive vehicle for the journey.

Seeing all the wilflife and the penguins was one of the highlights of the trip! Highly recommended.

We had an incredible time engaging in various activities. The lodge was situated in a serene location, offering us the chance to immerse ourselves in nature. We went out twice a day on a boat to observe the diverse bird species in the area. The surroundings were peaceful and quiet, providing a perfect setting for bird watching. The lodge itself was lovely, and we enjoyed our meals there. The highlight of our stay was the wildlife we encountered, making it one of the best parts of our trip.

Visiting Iguazu Falls was a breathtaking experience. On the Argentinian side, we had a knowledgeable guide who showed us hidden gems around the waterfalls, such as rare birds and their nests. Despite the intense heat, the day was filled with awe-inspiring sights and experiences. We also took a boat ride under the falls, which added an extra thrill to the adventure. The next day, we explored the falls from the Brazilian side, which offered a different perspective. The walkway extending over the falls was both exhilarating and slightly nerve-wracking. The natural beauty we witnessed was worthwhile. Overall, our visit to Iguazu Falls was a highlight of our trip, and we were glad we visited both sides of the falls.
