Kimkim Trip Reviews for France

Our guide, Joanna (? Yellow hat) was very informative & moved at a good pace. The scenery & stops amazing. The full day tour is very long though & you do return to Avignon for lunch. Be aware. You will see great views though.

We can not say enough good about Mathilda our guide! So knowledgeable about the vineyards & the community. This was a highlight of our France trip. What an awesome activity~Peter made sure our bikes were right for us & we had what we needed b4 starting AND he sells wine at his bike shop?!? Love it! The bikes do have pañier bags on the back so no need for backpacks.

Very cute hotel, nice and close to the train station and old town Nice, as well as a lot of great Brasseries and shopping

Nice central location in Avignon and literally across the street from the tourism office which was super convenient

Very nice hotel in Lyon!

Very cute and cozy, the staff were all amazing, knowledgeable and very friendly! It was easy to walk to the Eiffel Tower and arc de triumph as well as access the metro

This tour was great, I just wish we had more time in Monaco! Océane knew so much about all the history of every place we went and was an awesome guide!

I really enjoyed getting free time at each stop and our guide also pointed out his favorite things and fun landmarks at all the places too! We loved Antibes and definitely want to spend more time there in the future!

It was great seeing so many small countryside cities and having free time to explore! Roussillon was my favorite :)

Our guide was excellent, we got to see a lot of the country side near Avignon, and taste some exceptional wine! I’m so glad we brought some back with us, too bad we can’t take any more!

Our guide, Romain, was great! He knew a lot about wines and the entire region. I like that we got to experience 2 very different wineries

Our tour guide, Nate, was so friendly and knew so much about Lyon! He showed us some great landmarks around the city in addition to taking us to taste some amazing food!

I love that this was after hours, it made looking at the art less stressful without the big crowds! I heard some horror stories of trying to see the Mona Lisa in particular and we didn’t have that problem! I wish I had more time, but I need an entire day just to spend at the louvre!

It was a nice tour with a local guide and just myself and my fiancé. She was very knowledgeable not just about the excellent food we had but also the local architecture. I was glad we did this after Versailles because I learned a lot about the architecture from that visit and it was nice having a base understanding. I also loved this included a trip to see notre dame

I really enjoyed the self guided audio tour. This palace is amazing and the history is fascinating. I’m glad we had a lot of time to enjoy here as there is so much to see

This was by far the best hotel we stayed at on our trip. The bed was the most comfortable and it had the best shower. The courtyard is perfect for nighttime wine and snacks. The staff was incredible and the complementary breakfast delicious.

Perfect location to experience the very best of Avignon and diagonal across the street from the tourism office where all the tours meet. The bed and shower were particularly comfortable. Unfortunately, the AC didn’t work and it took quite a bit of work to figure out how to open the windows. The room felt like a sweltering sauna the whole time we were there.

This charming hotel is in the heart of Lyon and was easy to walk to all our tours and sightsee. Perfectly situated to take advantage of all your gastronomic dreams! Plus, the AC worked!

This boutique hotel is absolutely adorable! Perfectly located for access to a really nice Metro line and you can easily walk to both the Eiffel Tour and Arc de Triumph. The complimentary breakfast they offer is delicious and there’s plenty of cafes nearby to satisfy all your tastes. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

The hotel was very quaint, exceptional staff that were kind and helpful, very clean rooms and daily Freshen up. We had some miscommunication with the room and bed set up but that was more a language and word barrier than anyone’s fault. We wanted to have 3 beds all seperate , not just 2 inches. But all was fine and we adapted. The rooms were small but we rarely spent time there except to sleep and prepare for the day. Breakfast was ok but not one day of variety for the 6 days. Nothing like fresh fruit ( canned /frozen) . Service was excellent and they always asked what we needed. Just no variations. Staff were so knowledgeable , nice, spoke English , gave suggestions and always were available to answer questions or help. I felt safe and relaxed. Super quiet. The location was ok . Not really near any tourist things but maybe that is a good thing. Quiet, little traffic. We easily could walk or uber,

Hard to find. We needed better directions. Label on the pier? It was very nice ride. The food was ok, Scenery was amazing and at dark even better.

The highlight of the trip and favorite

We arrived early that day and took our own walk around. When we met up with our guide we were already somewhat tired. This tour has a lot of hills and elevation.

Tour guide Sonali made it amazing. It was crowded and we expected that. Wore earpieces and that is a must.

The guide was ok . She was hard to not compare with Sonali the day before, We began with chocolate . I would have preferred a coffee and croissant or similar. These were never part of tour. This chocolate place was ok but I have been on similar tours and the owner of place at least talks or appreciates your coming. Not so at these places except one or 2. The chocolate is early in the morning to begin. They also sold there many macaroons , but not offered unless you bought one. I thought that would be given and talked about. The other food stops were jams, spreads and we did have cheese. Those were ok but again not much. The best was the hot food at a restaurant that we could select 3-4 for us. Those were good and we didn’t know much about what we were eating. Guide was somewhat flat .

This was our first guided tour and what a special guide of Sonali for us. She is amazing and I would like to have all tours with her. She was a certified guide, which we learned is quite an honor and distinction to achieve. She is so intelligent, funny, kind, knowledgeable and has a complete confidence in her role and ease with the place touring. The passage way was very interesting and gave us several areas we would not have seen.

The hotel accommodations were good. The staff was outstanding.

It was a beautiful trip on the river.

This was my favorite activity. The chef took us to the market where we purchased our fresh food to use while cooking. She was delightful and knowledgeable. Her home was the perfect space to prepare and eat. I would highly recommend this to anyone who would enjoy cooking in Paris.

Our guide was very knowledgeable.

Sonali Harshe was an excellent guide.

Would have liked different food choices

Our tour guide Sonali Harshe was outstanding. I would recommend her for any tour.

This hotel was perfect for our stay in Nice. It was close to the old city and the waterfront and had a great petit dejunier.

This little bed and breakfast is a gem. My room was sparkling clean and the bathroom was updated. The breakfast was good and had a typical selection. The owner of the hotel was as nice as she could be and was very helpful giving me directions and suggestions for my time in Marseille.

This was a very crowded cruise and all drinks must be paid for. From the description it made it sound like there was a free drink but there was no. That said, it is always nice to take a trip along the Seine and this was a small thing.

Jordi our guide was calm and steady. He was very knowledgeable and comfortable in his guiding and made our experience wonderful. He always knew we could do it! This is a beautiful view and trip in nature for the day.

Nadia, our guide, was lovely. She was so knowledgeable and made sure that we sampled every food that we were interested in. She was very tuned in to our personal needs ( need a coffee, or bathroom break) and we never felt rushed or that we were getting a "canned" experience. It felt fresh and new, just for us.

What a great family and cafe. The owner and his wife Helen were so friendly and helpful during my stay.

Modern hotel right on the River Lot. The balcony was perfect for drying the clothes we had washed in the sink. Free parking on site. A walking trail along then river is just below the hotel grounds. Very good breakfast buffet.

A very modern interior concealed within a very old building on a narrow street in the heart of Figeac. Free parking is several blocks up hill. Spacious comfortable room.

Very noce hotel on tnę edge of the old quarter of Sarlat. Spacious comfortable room. Parking can be a problem. A free parking lot is 20 minutes walk up the hill.

A sweet small hotel in the Latin Quarter. Close to the Isle de La Cité and to Shakespeare and Company.

Our guide knows everything about local history. She pointed out the fascinating museum of J-F Champollion, who used the Rosetta Sone to learn to read Egyptian hieroglyphics for the first time.

Or driver / guide was very informative and a safe driver.

Lascaux IV and the Museum in Les Eyzies are not to be missed. The guides were very good.

Our ,local guide was informative and helpful.

Beautiful hotel in a great neighborhood! Very spacious rooms for Europe!

Fabulous hotel in beautiful neighborhood! Quick walk to Eiffel Tower. Many room options for families and great breakfat.

Very easy to navigate into the tower and a great experience!

Beautifully and personally tailored excursion day!

Amazingly engaging for children. Great to be able to skip line to the museum and get right in!

Best experience ever! Perfect tour for anyone!

Most beautiful place. Location good

Great location great host

Missed to much. Guide was great Knowledge was great jeep was fun, but we missed museum, cemetery, cliffs

He did a great job. Give us great conversation, but we did feel a little rushed. I think his intention was to try to get us to beat all the crowds, but it came across was very rushed. Also, I was a little disappointed that we only visited a few rooms.

This was by far our favorite. And our guide did such a wonderful job. He gave us a great conversation.

Unfortunately, it was closed up top.

Hotel Lorette’s rooms were well sized, comfortable, and it was a nice perk to be able to visit their other locations when needing a break while walking around the city. Nicely located nearby the metro, grocery store, pharmacy and many wonderful restaurants.

We had the most delicious food on this tour! Was so interesting to learn about not only the food but also the skilled artisans. Felt personalized and not rushed. We were full after!

So happy we went in the off season to learn about D Day and visit the historic sites and museum. There was so much to learn and our guide Antoine was a wealth of knowledge. Absolutely worth it.

You really could spend all day at the Louve. Iconic for a reason

Amazing views of the city. Very easy to do on your own. Look for the signs to go under the ground to the Arc as you cannot dodge traffic.

Very interesting to learn about champagne, Dom P, and visit multiple champagne houses. Appreciated being able to see both large and small scale production. Nice there was no pressure to purchase, only enjoy the day. Lunch in Epernay was also nice. Our guide Matthieu was knowledgeable, easy to understand, and fun.

Absolute must for anyone visiting the city for the first time. Easy way to see the big attraction sites. Bundle up as being on the water is always a bit chilly (have done this at night both in March and June).

Amazing views and hospitality, we loved our stay!

This tour was amazing! Our guide was knowledgeable and we could tell he was passionate about the area and it's history. We learned so much extra history and it was an honor to stand on the beaches and visit the cemetery- our guide even made sure to time the tour so that we were able to experience the flag lowering cemetery at the Normandy American Cemetery. It was quite a special day.

AMAZING!!! This was our family's favorite activity- everything from the beautiful drive up the mountain to the soft landing in the park was more than we ever could have imagined! Our pilots were great- they let some of us float and did tricks and spins with our more adventurous kids.

This tour was amazing! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable- she was an archeologist so it felt like we were getting an extra history lesson with our tour!

The best way to see Rome and save your feet! We saw so many sights and learned so much history, our tour guide was great- funny and knowledgeable.

This was a hidden gem tucked away in Amboise. It was very clean and well appointed. We had plenty of space for our family of four. The staff was incredibly friendly and the breakfast was amazing. The yard also looked beautiful. We all wished it had been a bit warmer to hand outside and use the pool.

This was a great fit for our family of four. We had plenty of space to relax and spread out. The swing set was a big hit with my son. We enjoyed the bar and breakfast too. It was in a great location – very close to the town center but also remote and quiet.

The bike tour of Versailles was an unexpected highlight of our trip! We did this on our last day of vacation, and I had reservations about spending so much time at Versailles. I am so glad we did it. The bike ride was a lot of fun and helped us feel active. Plus we got to see parts of the palace that we definitely would not have seen otherwise. Our guide was a lot of fun and gave us so much historic information. Marie Antionette's hamlet was spectacular. We got lost (in a good way) in her gardens and had so much fun. The farmers market in town was one of our favorite parts of the trip. We bought so much local food: cheese, fruit, meat and bread, and then enjoyed it in the palace gardens. I would highly recommend this activity.

This was a perfect wine tasting for our family of four. My husband and I wanted to experience at least one wine tasting, but since we travelled with our children we knew it would be hard. This was a great stop and scratched the wine-tasting itch. The guide was fun and knowledgeable and he kept our kids engaged as well.

Our day of exploring the D-Day sites was spectacular. This was the highlight of the trip for my 10 year old son and husband. However, my daughter and I also thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide, Manon, was very knowledgeable and made us have fun. She realized how much my son loved WWII and really talked to him about all the facts and history. The weather was spectacular, and because we visited in March the sites were not busy at all. We were able to explore bunkers, walk on the beach, and see some of the small towns. It was an emotional day but we all enjoyed it. I learned so much and have a greater respect for this part of history now.

We weren't sure we wanted to see another chapel after the Notre Dame, but are so happy we did. Audrey encouraged us to stop by this breathtaking church. It did not dissapoint! Sainte-Chapelle is absolutely breathtaking. It was also a quick visit.

The Louvre Treasure Hunt was a highlight of our trip! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and kept our kids (ages 13 and 10) engaged the whole time. She realized how interested our kids were and spent extra time with them. The treasure hunt was a fun addition and helped keep the kids happy and focused. They even won a game at the end of the hunt. We were able to see all the BIG highlights of the museum in a good amount of time.

My whole family was a bit iffy about adding this on our first night, but it was perfect. It kept us awake after the long flight from America, but was also relaxing. We shared a glass of wine and juice and enjoyed the scenery. The sunset was incredible.

This was a perfect first day activity for our family. We all loved it more than expected. The weather was PERFECT. Our kids were blown away with the architecture and visiting the top floor. We only wish we had a little more time.

Close to Disney, nice big rooms nice clean hotel

Small rooms, the 2 single rooms are extremely small no place to even open up a suitcase. If booking this hotel definitely recommend booking larger rooms as we had to upgrade which ended up costing a lot more. Breakfast was ok.

The hotel was terrific. We loved the two rooms. I would suggest you have more guest-friendly way to get bags to the rooms. Dragging our bags over the cobblestone walk was not fun and not good for the luggage wheels. I mentioned earlier that this seemed very early season as it was obvious there were staff still in training.

The intern guide gave us the tour and wine tasting. He was amazing and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, he was also taking care of the counter. Many people came in and he was the only staff available to answer questions, so the time with us (the tour) was interrupted often. Our guide felt bad and apologized, then continued on professionally and graciously.

This was a lot for a beginner biker, but our guide spent time with each of the riders in the group to know their capabilities. He as a great guide. We're pretty sure he owned the business. A great experience overall!

This wasn't the location were expecting to go to, however the guide was amazing. We were given incredible information about he region, as well as her personal climbing experience, knowledge about nature, and she shared snacks and told us about the seasonal traditions for food.

She was a well-known local and was extremely knowledgeable. She took us to a small local business that gave us information about food and wines. She told us about local traditions for food and shared pastries that were available only a this time of year.

Beautiful hotel, delicious breakfast, enchanting, friendly staff. Wonderfully located!

So entertaining - iconic experience! We had a wonderful evening.

Great guide - personable and informative. We learned so much! We are so glad we did this - it's a breathtaking experience to be at the top! Crazy views of Paris. Great excercise climbing up the steps the 2nd level! We earned our croissants. :)

Such a fun experience! Pierre was the best sommelier for us. He was kind, informative, and fun! We had great conversation and learned so much. We were with just one other couple so our experience was intimate - delightful!

The hotel is in a wonderful location, and the staff is so accommodating! Our only complaint was the quality of the mattress and pillows which were not comfortable at all.

It was fun but not sure I would recommend or go again. It's very factory like and you're herded in like cattle. An interesting evening.

Lilly was the best tour guide! We loved listening to her passionate stories!

A must-do for any visitors! We had a wonderful evening. The food and sights were fabulous. Quality of the boat and staff were first class.

Agatha was a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and full of interesting stories.

We had a very good time, but were surprised it was in the apartment of the chef. We were with a father and his son, who were very nice, and we had a great time.

Very interesting wandering through the streets and visiting hundreds of flea market booths. Fabulous opportunity to see antiques and beautiful jewelry.
