Kimkim Trip Reviews for France

It was very clean and neat. The beds were comfortable and not in an awkward position. The staff was friendly and the breakfast quite good. The elevator was a little small, but this hotel was a little small as well, so it is understandable. I very much so enjoyed my stay here.

The Hôtel Korner Opéra was a lovely place to stay while I was in Paris. It was extremely close to the Paris Métro and several lovely restaurants and cafés. The staff members were kind and helpful. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable, and I would gladly stay there again.

I enjoyed this sidecar tour quite a bit. My guide was friendly and very knowledgable of Paris and its history, and I learned quite a bit about the city during the tour. The drive itself was quite lovely, and we were able to see many of the city's landmarks fairly close-up. The tour itself taking place in a vintage motorbike was also exciting.

The Panthéon is such a unique place, and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring this landmark and discovering its history. The building itself was pretty quiet and peaceful while simultaneously housing many people like myself, and the representations of the building's history (including the tapestries, monuments, and modern art pieces) are incredible to behold.

The Palais de Versailles is a gorgeous place filled with so much history and art, and I loved exploring the different wings of the palace and learning their history. The palace itself and its artifacts have been very well maintained throughout the years, and I did not have much trouble navigating the rooms.

Montmartre is such a unique area of Paris, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour experience. My guide, Aloïs, was absolutely wonderful and knowledgable about the Montmartre area. The history of Montmartre and its unique characteristics make it a lovely place to explore.

As a history enthusiast, the Louvre Museum was a treat to visit. There are so many different pieces of art and relics from throughout history that it is impossible to see everything in one visit. From the remnants of the original fortress to the paintings on the top floor, there is something for just about everyone at the Louvre.

This hotel was our very favorite! The staff was so welcoming and accommodating. Since we arrived on a very hot day, we loved having that beautiful pool at our disposal. We were a group of 7, 5 women and two teenage girls, and we all enjoyed our rooms and especially the breakfasts! They were exceptional! The hotel is outside of Tours, so a car is advisable. We did not rent a car, but we were able to Uber into Tours for dinner. We had a private guide who picked us up for our tour of the Royal Castle of Amboise, Clos Lucé and Chenonceau, and that was a great day.

This hotel in Bayeux is right in town, an excellent location to explore this beautiful Norman town. My only criticism is that we had booked a room for three people, but the room was very small. It had three twin beds, all in a row, and very little space to walk around or put our suitcases. If you need a room for three, I would check to see if they have a bigger accommodation. It really was tight for three adults. Otherwise, it is a lovely hotel. The breakfast was very good.

We had a private guide, Marlene, who picked us up at our Airb&b and drove us to Versailles. We had a half day tour which was excellent. Marlene was very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour of the chateau and the gardens. She was so accommodating and friendly. We really enjoyed the experience.

This tour with Camille was wonderful! She drove us to Amboise, where we visited Leonardo Da Vinci’s home, Clos Lucé and the Royal Chateau. We then had a wine tasting, followed by a visit of Chenonceau castle. We loved our time with Camille because she was so friendly and informative. When we asked if she could take us to buy something to bring back to eat at our hotel at the end of our excursion, she was so willing to accommodate us. I highly recommend this tour with her.

We toured the beaches with Emma, and I highly recommend her. She drove us to Utah Beach, St Mère Eglise, where we toured the Airborne Museum, Point du Hoc, and the Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery. She was so informative and gave us great insight to what occurred on those beaches. We all learned so much about DDay and we appreciated all her explanations. At the end of the tour, we were able to see the lowering of the flag while Taps was played, an emotional experience for sure.

The hotel and staff are great! It's within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. The rooms were spacious, each with its own living room and small kitchenette. While we liked being in an urban area, if you're a light sleeper, this may not be the place for you. It is busy, and it is Europe. People were out until 2 AM most nights. We were so exhausted from our fun filled days that it didn't keep us up, but we definitely could hear the fun downstairs.

You cannot beat this view! Or the location! We only had a day and a half in Nice, so being this close to the beach and the promenade was very nice. So many great restaurants, and a daily flea market that was fun to browse through. The staff are friendly, and the room was clean. It could probably use a cosmetic touch up, but it seemed pretty standard to other European hotels we've stayed in. It was nice at this location because they offer a complimentary breakfast. We were able to grab some food before we left for our days and not have to spend time hunting for a good, fast meal.

We walked along the river seine - it was so lovely and there were so many people out!

Got to walk right in. We did still have to wait in line to go up the levels, and at each level to get up to the next. This was nice because they basically escort you in and then you are free to spend as much or as little time as you'd like here. We went all the way to the top - phenomenal views of Paris!

We had a private tour and our guide was awesome. She gave us tons of local information and history. Although 7 hours might seem like a long day - it went by very quickly. We stopped at a Perfumerie - a very cool experience, walked through Eze, drove to Monaco, had lunch on the beach, went to its palace and aquarium, then headed home. We skipped the casino and opted to spend more time at the aquarium. She went at our pace and just asked that we message through whats app when we were ready to move on to the next place. I liked the independence of that as she allowed us to customize the experience.

We had a private transfer to the park - we arrived right when they opened. This park was not as busy as in Anaheim which was great. We had the premier access pass, and we flew through Disneyland and all of the rides we wanted by 1PM. This gave us plenty of time to get to Walt Disney studios and do the same there! We completed all the rides we wanted at both parks and were on our way home by 6PM. Although the names of the rides are the same as in Anaheim, the rides are very different. It was a lot of fun and a great way to spend the day with family!!

We met with Chris and she guided us around the city, through Notre Dame, and Sainte-Chapelle. She has been a guide for over 30 years and is very knowledgeable about the city and the two cathedrals. She was able to point out tiny details about each visit that you would not even see or notice without a guide.

We sampled three types of wine and a few cheeses. It was cool because he chose all French wines, pulled out a map, and showed us exactly where they were coming from. It was a neat experience!

Sabine was our guide - you can tell she has a great appreciation for art and history. We had a great visit at the Louvre. We were only there for a bit and with entrance could stay as long as we wanted. She shared that to get through the entire museum, we'd have to spend 8 hours a day, everyday, for four months!!! While I love art and history, my family was ready to leave after we saw the Mona Lisa :)

RT was our guide and she lives in the Saint-Germain neighborhood. She took us to many great stops and we got to try a ton of food! We've done previous food tours where we "sampled" the treats. These are not samples - they are full size chocolates and pastries!! That being said, come hungry! We had leftovers so we got to enjoy the pastries the next morning for breakfast!

We did this on our last evening in Paris and it was a great way to end our trip. We didn't love the food, it seemed like everyone else did though and I think this is just preference. It was so cool just being on the river people watching. We finished up at 11:00 just as the Eiffel Tower started twinkling. The live singer was a special treat - she was fantastic!

My daughter and I did this - lots of fun shopping!

Unique experience on a fully solar boat. The harbor was so pretty, the water was perfect, and our captain was very kind! We all very much enjoyed this boat excursion. It was only an hour and 20 minutes - which was exactly about how much time we can spend on the water before on of us gets seasick ;)

This hotel was perfectly located for our Paris visit. We needed beds for 3 and stayed in a room at the top of the hotel. The room was very clean and had everything needed for our 5 day stay. One twin bed was located under a low ceiling and I kept bumping my head. The room had an air conditioner, but we never got it to work, However, we didn't ask for help. We used a fan in the room instead, and we opened the windows which made it comfortable. Only problem with the open windows was sometimes there was noise outside. The staff was nice and friendly. The breakfasts were continental and perfect for us. We would happily stay in this hotel again.

I'm so glad we got tickets to the summit. The views were great!

The sidecar tour was one of our favorite tours. The drivers were knowledgeable, friendly, and provided a fun tour. They were also courteous and helpful in dropping us off so we could safely get to our next event.

After hearing about the Arc de Triomphe my whole life, I stood under the Arc in awe. We observed the tomb of the unknown soldier. We were sad that we couldn't go up into the Arc due to a workers strike.

We enjoyed learning more French history and observed the names of people who made a difference in French history.

Versailles was amazing. You could feel the once decadent era when Louis XIV and those that followed lived there. If you love French history, there is much to learn and enjoy. We wish we could have spent a little more time there.

Our guide, Aloïs, escorted us for our walking tour in Montmartre. She shared wonderful information about Montmartre and made the tour delightful. Although Montmartre goes uphill, the pace was perfect, and when it rained, we stopped for tea in a local cafe. Our tour ended when we reached the Sacre Coeur. Before leaving us, she pointed out cafes and other places in which we might be interested.

I'm so glad I got to view the exhibits in the Louvre. Right after our visit, the museum was closed due to the strike by the workers citing insufficient staff and over tourism. While I respect these workers, the museum, and the exhibits, I cannot help but be grateful that I was able to see the historical treasures during my visit.

Excellent food and accommodating food allergies.

Great location, food, and food allergy accommodation.

Staff not very friendly, seemed very impersonal. Had a strange smell in the lobby while we were there. Accused us of not paying for the room even though when we checked in they indicated it was paid in full. It was a decent location right next to the tube and Hyde Park.

Very good guide. Informative. Wish we had more time to spend at the Tower (another hour at least).

We liked the private transfer and the somewhat self guided tour in the house and then allowed us to explore the gardens and rest of the areas.

Best part of the trip. Guide was excellent!!

great location - super nice staff. Not fancy but perfect place to stay close to everything. Nice breakfast

Vintage France

This is the owner's home - she has 2 rooms, 3 cottages. AMAZING pool and in the middle of vineyards. It is not really a hotel - no services on site except a lovely breakfast and it's not super close to a town. It was PERFECT for us - quite, relaxed, the owner is lovely and her mom!! We sat at the pool for hours. But good for travelers to be aware of location, etc.

Clean and nice pool. LONG STEEP walk to the town - not as close as they market it.

FANTASTIC - Private tour with Vincent, one of the owners. We are experienced so he took us on a fun adventure. Nice picnic that we had requested in advance.

Such a wonderful, unique experience!

Wish we could live this day over and over again!

The Quarries was an unexpected delight.

Another unexpected delight.

Loved the rooftop room and the chic breakfast. Neighborhood was full of great restaurants and easy to get to the metro. Quiet little cup de sac, but only a block from the boulevard. Easy walk to Place des Vosges.

Our family of four stayed in the family suite (1 king and two twin beds) on the top (sixth) floor for five nights. We truly enjoyed our stay. The suite fit us very well. As expected in Paris, it was a little small, but we made do. The closet and bathroom were nice and large. This is a boutique hotel, and as such, it does not offer some of the amenities that larger hotels typically provide, such as a pool or spa. That being said, the staff were charming and helpful, and the breakfast options were plentiful.

This was the kids favorite part of our time in France.

Our family left the Le Peloton Cafe in Le Marais for a private tour. Cedric was our guide, and he provided us with very informative insights. We covered a fair territory on the bike for a total of 5-6 miles.

The staff at this hotel really made the visit worth it! They were very attentive and very patient. I do not recommend the basement room, smelled musty and very little light, but we had another room on the second floor which was wonderful.

We’ve never been better taken care of than we were at this hotel. The breakfast was delicious, the staff was friendly and attentive, the rooms were comfortable, and the views were amazing.

Top quality hotel in central Lyon. Our only problem was asking for a bag of ice from the concierge desk that never arrived.

This hotel is a bot away from Avignon center and outside the wall. Otherwise it is very quaint with a very nice spa. Clean comfortable rooms, good breakfast and a top quality restaurant with a wonderful dinner.

The Boutik Hotel 3 was very traditional, quite comfortable and perfectly located by the town square. The staff were very friendly and the breakfasts were very French. We loved staying here and would stay here again.

The tour wasn't your classic tour with the tour guide explaining history, etc, as you move thru a town, the country side, etc., Essentially, the driver explained a few things as we drove to our destination, then he let us out of the car and said we were on our own to explore the cities with limited time to do so. Also, "Victor" , one of our drivers in Nice, was impatient and somewhat rude. I would suggest not using him again.

Must do. the Multipass allowed us to really enjoy the Chamonix surroundings.

Good driver, but the tour was mostly on your own.

Staff was excellent but hotel needs updating.

Gilles was a great host.

Sebastian was an awesome dude! If we lived closer together we'd surely be friends.

Two tours in the same day was too much.

Gilles is the MAN! Such a great day and we've made friends for life as a result of this experience.

Walking distance to the tour Eiffel, and the Seine as well as many restaurants.

Very helpful. Took us down in the Metro and helped us buy tickets, walked us around the area.

Our driver was fun and informative!

Raphael was very knowledgeable!

Excellent food and service!

Tour was educational and visually stimulating.

Yummy!

Had so much fun!

Loved the acrobatic acts!
