Kimkim Trip Reviews for France

Supprisingly nice hotel that at one time must have been a grand chateau. The rooms were odd but added to the character of the place. Right in the middle of center city Bordeaux. Pleasant staff. Good breakfast. Tons of restaurants and bars filled with people that enjoyed the area as much as we did.

I loved Marseille I loved the action around the Harbor area and especially the wonderful seafood restaurants. Our tour guide was terrific. Made us feel at home and comfortable with the city. Shared not only the facts of the area but also his personal experiences in Marseille

The staff were welcoming, attentive and friendly and our twin room with city views was spacious and comfortable. The art deco style through out the hotel was charming and it is conveniently located within walking distance of shops, cafes and the waterfront precinct.

Great hotel for a family, it a good location, close to the metro. Nice breakfast in the morning. The coffee and snacks in the afternoon were also handy!

We could not have loved this hotel more, the room was very comfortable and spacious. The hotel staff were so accommodating and friendly. The homemade breakfast, pastries, jams and quiche were such a treat!

This hotel is beautiful, newly renovated and clean. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were crowded, but nice. The breakfast was a challenge, it was set up as a continental breakfast buffet, but they were always out of plates, cups and coffee mugs. The eggs were also undercooked.

We only had one night here, but the hotel is beautiful, the rooms are a little tight, but well appointed and comfortable. The breakfast was so good though! The staff was really friendly and helpful.

This hotel is in a convenient location to the underground and had very helpful staff. The breakfast was very crowded and did not have many options. Hard boiled eggs, yogurt, toast and cereal. The hotel is older so the rooms are smaller, but suited our needs while we were there.

We bought tickets for this, but the busses didn't come to any of the stops after we had waiting for 20+ minutes at a couple of stops. We found it faster to just walk between the sites we wanted to see. We were never able to use our tickets and 2 weeks later are still waiting to hear back regarding a refund. I wouldn't recommend this tour option

We had such a great day with Dury, we learnt a lot and made some delicious food!

We were unfortunately late to start this tour as we had a cooking class prior that ran a little long. Despite us being late, our guide took the time to provide us with a fun, action packed and informative tour that our 12 + 9 year old daughters really enjoyed and were very engaged in!

It was a beautiful way to see parts of the city and learn more about Paris. The tour guide was not super engaging and there were long periods of just sitting and taking in the scenery. It would have been nice to hear more about Paris.

Adorable little town with very friendly people! We loved Bayeux and the shops, restaurants and history.

Love this day! We didn't even have Mont-Saint Michel on our list of experiences we were seeking, our agent suggested and booked this for us and we were sure happy she did!

Our guide Lucy was incredible, she is a talented and animated storyteller who can really take you back in time through the history of the Tower. If you go, ask for Lucy!!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our tour with her. We had hoped to see a few other beaches so a more detailed description of what each tour offers would have been helpful as we would have selected a different tour. We had specifically requested to see Juno beach through KimKim, but were advised that we could just tell this to our guide and they would adjust the tour. This is a group tour so the guide was unable to accommodate and changes to the tour itinerary (understandable)

Our whole family enjoyed this, our 9+12 year old daughters are still singing the songs around the house! Great performance

The tour itself was really cool, although we wish we would have had more time. The busses ran a tight schedule, so we couldn't enjoy the entire tour at our own pace.

Our guide was knowledgeable and adaptable. She had prepared the group that the tour experience would change depending on the crowds and she was able to navigate us around some very busy streets to see some unique aspects of the Changing of the Guard.

Cool idea and very friendly staff but very expensive for what you get. The food was ok, but nothing really unique. The tea is located in a basement so you can't enjoy any of London's scenery... We found an afternoon tea beside Tower Bridge that was better quality and price with a wonderful view!

Our guide, Oscar, was excellent! he really taught us a lot about borough market and some cool history of London. He was excellent with our kids and kept them laughing and entertained for a couple of hours as we strolled through the market and tasted some rather delicious doughnuts!

It was a decent hotel and very well located close to town.

Staff was amazing and very helpful. Hotel located right in the middle of everything.

Thomas was a great host and prepared a nice 4 course meal. Had a great time with him. We were surprised just as he was that we never got the menu ahead of time.

Radames was a great tour guide, very personable and knew his stuff.

Florence was the absolute best guide.

Robin was a great and very thorough guide.

We were told it included a city tour and it never happened.

The rooms are a bit small if you get a studio. We opted for a 1 bedroom which was just perfect for us. Best part of this hotel was it's location in the city. We thought it would be difficult to be outside the city center, but with the tram being so close, it was not a problem at all! We did not have breakfast at the hotel. It looked wonderful, but we opted to grab something from the local bakery. There were many good restaurants in the area.

The tour to the Pyla sand dunes and Arcachon oysters was really great. Our guide, Kyle, who was Brazilian, was knowledgeable and engaging, making the experience delightful despite some unfortunate weather. Although I'm not a huge seafood fan, the tour itself was incredibly well-organized and worth the trip.

The full private day of exploration in Dordogne and Sarlat was a fantastic experience. We had a great guide, Rudy, who took us to the West Coast and a quaint village. He was charming and knowledgeable, enhancing our trip significantly as we explored the beautiful area. Having a guide made the long day far more insightful and enjoyable.

The visit to La Cité du Vin in Bordeaux was interesting but a bit too much. We stayed for about an hour and enjoyed the wine tastings and the beautifully presented exhibits, but it exceeded our level of interest quite quickly.

This Hotel is amazing the staff were all wonderful providing my needs during my stay. The lady named, Omy kept me updated with what was going on in the area, and she worked hard keeping customer service up to par. Francis and Aman were also awesome, they were both very helpful explaining every details that I did not understand. Highly recommended!

The only golf course that is worth playing is the Le National Albatross Course. However, this golf course need to hire a Marshall to keep the pace of play going. I was following a slow golfers for both of my rounds here, and not fun, when a fast golfer like me had to wait 5 to 10 minutes on every hole. So, I would suggest to let your travel agent know to extend the time to at least 30 to 50 minutes pick up time with your driver after 4 hours if you decide to play golf at Le National Golf Course.

I have no comment on this tour because the tour guide and Eiffel Tower is amazing!

The tour guide was amazing, no other comments.

I love the fact that I did not have to drive the Vintage Car, because I have the knowledgeable driver to drive for me, and I just enjoy the sceneries, and take photos.

I did not have a good experienced on this one because, I went to the right boat, but the lady in front (who were by the entrance) told me that I am on the wrong boat, so I ran to the other boat. But the other boat staff told me to go back to the boat where I came from, which was the right boat to begin with....

Little bit far from town, but otherwise a great place to stay. Very basic, but friendly and kind staff.

We really liked this hotel. Kind staff and good breakfast with a great location. Close to town center maybe two blocks away and also very close to the train station which is super convenient.

It’s located on the ridge between two very different beaches. The old area of Antibes is maybe half of my other way, but it’s a beautiful walk. The staff is very kind and helpful and made all the amenities available essentially at all times. The room we had was clean and neat with a typically strange European set up to the room, but we certainly had everything we needed, and it was a great place to stay!

Really loved this hotel. It’s a small boutique hotel and the staff is very friendly and kind. Breakfast is very good and nice authentic French food very simple as well. The staff are very friendly and kind and helpful. All of them do you speak English but they’re also patient enough to help with someone trying to speak French. The location is really amazing. It is a short walk from the cathedral at Notre Dame or the Louvre museum. We also walked to the Eiffel Tower from here, which is just under a mile I think. Overall wonderful experience.

Location was excellent, as was the breakfast

Location and view was perfect

Room was comfortable, clean and quiet

Exceeded all our expectations

So cute and cozy, beautifully decorated. Great location! Very clean room. Only docked one star due to having to carry luggage up and down the staircase due to small and slow elevator.

Lots of space, big bathroom with great water pressure. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Great location within walking distance to everything! Docked one star because the shower did not have a door or curtain and the whole floor of the bathroom would get soaked every time we took a shower.

Why is this hotel rated 4 stars? Our first room was handicap accessible so no door nor curtain for shower. Entire floor of bathroom would get wet after each shower. Also the floor to ceiling window had a massive crack in it and the front desk person laughed about the door to the room (also glass) not being easy to lock. We requested a move, which they accommodated the second day of our stay. The new room was beat up and not very clean (dried coffee was in the cups, poop stains in toilet). At check out we were yelled at by the front desk for calling Kim Kim to complain about the accommodations and were scolded and told we should have just told the front desk directly. We did that, which was why we were moved, however thought Kim Kim tram should know if this hotel was a partner of theirs. Aside from all of that, this hotel was not centrally located and about 15-20 min minimum walk to the city center. Would have preferred to stay closer to where everything was versus off beaten path.

The hotel itself was beautiful, as were the main lobby and restaurant spaces, however the room was terrible. The bed was like sleeping on a rock, so uncomfortable that we woke up every morning with back and neck pain. Also there was what looked like a gravestone right out of our window so that was extremely unsettling and maybe too “historic” for us. You could clearly hear your upstairs neighbors moving around. Location was ok, you could walk 10 minutes and see the Notre Dame cathedral as well as the Roman Ruins. The one thing that we did not like about location was when we wanted to go elsewhere outside of old town Lyon, we needed to get Ubers or have multiple train transfers.

Chris was our tour guide. He was a historian and knew fun and interesting facts about London. He was able to keep out teens interested too! Fun experience!

Our guide, Alex, we knowledgeable and entertaining. He relied on our group to determine the trajectory of our tour - within the general parameters set by the tour company - and made our day fee “custom-designed”.

Our tour guide, Emily, was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and gave us very interesting information about the area and its history. We loved it!

Our tour guide was very good! She was efficient in the presentation of the things we wanted to see and I loved all the knowledge she shared about the art and the museum overall. We really enjoyed our time with her.

We were nervous about this as we did not want to have "touristy" experience and the meal and the experience in the boat were amazing. One of our most memorable dinners and experience in Paris!

Loved our chef Gil! We had a great time with him and it was an excellent way to spend time in Provence. We highly recommend this!

Loved the time spent with Kelly. He was so knowledgeable and fun! Would do it again!!

I am a kimkim staff member, and I was on a work trip when I stayed at the Hotel Florence in Nice. This hotel has 2 restaurants below it and is close to the main shopping street of Av. Jean Medecin, which also leads directly to the promenade and Plague Beau Rivage Beach. Accommodations were cozy and functional.

I am a kimkim staff member, and I was on a work trip when I stayed at the NH Collection Marseille is a very nice hotel with great staff members.

This hotel offers a kitchenette for travelers who would like to eat in their rooms. A hot breakfast is also provided in the lobby restaurant.

This hotel is located right off the Bastille Monument. The decor was nice, with a cozy lobby and a large bathroom. The breakfast was fulfilling, and the staff even provided fruit for me when I was leaving before the breakfast was open.

This hotel allowed me to leave my bags at 6:00 am the day I checked in so I could go on a tour. When I arrived, my bags were in my room with a personalized note followed up by a phone call once I was settled in my room, making sure I had everything I needed.

This hotel has a spectacular view of the Pantheon, which is right across the street. The location is close to Notre Dame and Sainte Germain and has a great view of Sacre Cure across the city. I would recommend the top-floor suites, which include a balcony with a spectacular view and a nice sitting area. When you leave the hotel and turn the corner, the Eiffel Tower is in plain view. If you climb the Pantheon Tower, you'll see one of the city's best views.

This hotel was a boutique hotel with lots of character and a location in the city center. Excellent access to shopping, old town, and landmark

The description of this activity isn't accurate. It isn't meant for travelers with physical sensitivities or who have endured recent or ongoing injuries due to the possibility of rough seas on a boat going at a high rate of speed. The excursion takes you to Monocao and lets travelers see super yachts from the water level. Travelers can swim in a cove with a cave and drive past other villages along the French Riviera. Things you see are spectacular, but the possible harm to one's body needs to be considered when booking this trip. The tour operators did not go out of their way to interact with guests or solve problems.

This activity took riders to spectacular views that are not easily accessible and around town for a city tour.

This tour takes travelers to the coast of the French Riviera, Monaco, a perfume factory, and the village ofÈzee. Beach time was not an option, and we were not gone for 10 hours, but still worth it.

This is a very informative tour and would be a great activity upon arrival. The socca that we got to eat was great, and the guide did a great job sharing historical and cultural information.

This tour was informative and enjoyable to see Le Panier neighborhood, the old port, and the Bonne Mère.

I loved riding bikes through the Luberon Valley and visiting the little villages. The e-bikes made the trip easy and fun.

Erin Jordan, the guide in Aix-En-Provence, was excellent! She was knowledgeable and provided history, information on architecture, and insight into the city's economic evolution. She did a wonderful job.

This half-day tour went too fast; if I were to say anything, it would be to allow yourself the full-day tour so you can enjoy all that Cassis has to offer. We took the boat to see the Parc National des Calanques. The blue water was so striking. The village had a great market and neat eateries. We were also taken to the Cap Canaille overlook to see the cove and city and admire the steep drop-off.

The guide was knowledgeable, showed me all the passages or Traboules that made up the city of Lyon, and earned it the UNESCO classification. We talked little about World War II but focused more on the city and the silk industry.

Biking along the Rhône's banks was a treat. This path took the tour along the Rhône River to the Golden Head Park, where there's a free zoo and open space for city dwellers to enjoy.

The experience on the boat provided a great vantage point to see all the buildings along the shore of the Seine River lite up. The food was good, and the live singer created a nice ambience.

Our guide led us through the Sully and Denon wings, seeing all the masterpiece artwork.

This was one of my favorite activities in Paris. The sommelier explained why the wines and cheese come from the different regions in France.

This was a great tour, introducing me to the essential things about the chocolates and pastries in France. The Guide did a great job leading us to all the different locations to taste the other foods. He included things about history, guided us through a church, and shared historical information about the area.

It was fun to stop at different shops and pick up items for our picnic in the park. We visited a fromagerie, a market for fresh produce, a pâtisserie, a charcuterie, and a wine shop with red and white wine ready to sample.

Monet's paintings come alive when you visit his gardens. I highly recommend this tour to see the flowers and other inspirations in his paintings. The guide did a great job sharing his life story on the bus ride to Giverny. Lunch and the Palace of Versailles were great stops. The guide did well keeping the group on time and ensuring we saw everything necessary.

This tour will take you up the hill step by step to where the Sacre Cure is located. It's interesting to hear the cultural stories of the artists who have lived here in the past. The final stop is the highlight of the tour. It's either the Cathedral or the view of Paris- probably both!

This was a day well spent in Chablis. Our guide did a great job taking us to three different wineries to taste the wines each location produced. We learned about the numerous ways to make wines. It was nice to meander through Chablis, pick a restaurant of our choice for lunch, and, of course, a bakery for dessert.

The hotel was clean and the location was great but there are very few amenities and seems to attract older clientele. The rooms and bathrooms are very small.

This is a great hotel - location is perfect, staff are amazing and it has everything you would need.

This was a great introduction to Paris and was a great event on the first day we arrived in Paris.

The guide did not appear all that interested in giving a tour and did not appear to be very knowledgeable which was disappointing. It is such a neat area.

Victor was amazing. Very passionate about The Louvre and his knowledge was through the roof. Very, very good guide.

Our guide was very good. She really knew the area and understood vineyards and winemaking.

Ask for a room with a view of the sea. It’s beautiful to watch the sun rise & set. Breakfast was plentiful & delicious! Convenient location so that most places were within walking distance.

Good location. Delicious breakfast. Small rooms. No decks unless you get room 404 upstairs. Otherwise it’s a tiny room but a good location.

My favorite activity on the itinerary. Loved our visit to the Farmer’s market & how we brought home our provisions & he directed our cooking. Delicious!!

The hotel was beautiful, very parisian and great spot by the metro!

Didier was absolutely wonderful as well as his translator. Learned sooo much from him, tried the baguettes and took the hotel baguettes as well. He also gave us the recipes to make at home!

It was also very authentic, wonderful, helpful!!
