Kimkim Trip Reviews for Germany

Great location to Marienplatz. Helpful staff and great breakfast. Also enjoyed the glass of beer and pretzel in the afternoon.

Beautiful views and very nice rooms. Wonderful breakfast served. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious and the Schwarzwald Krische Torte is unforgettable.

Great location and easy walking distance to the Old Town and sites to see.

Very nice hotel with a good breakfast. Interesting Monastery ruins nearby to explore.

Ernestina was a joy to walk with and learn the history and interesting facts about Prague. Her suggestion to visit the castle at night was timely as we were able to also see the crown jewels exhibit. A rare opportunity to see this exhibit.

Our culinary tour with Alzbeta was tasty and educational. We had the opportunity to taste many different local foods and learn more about the history of each one. The meal setting in the medieval church basement was an interesting setting and the food was delicious.

Wasn't what the tour details said it was.

Svenby was a wonderful driver and guide. He was very knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. Beautiful towns to tour and learn about.

Fun tour, good food and fun facts to learn more about Munich.

Very nice bike tour through gardens and streets of Munich. Also got to see the surfing area on the review. Very fun to watch that.

Valentine provided several cities to visit on the way to Colmar. We visited several of them and enjoyed them all. The cities were beautiful and so fun to walk through. Great suggestions for us to visit. I would have loved to have more time in them.

Our guide Dalibora provided a wonderful tour with many learnings along the way. While the rain fell fairly heavy that day, it did not stop us from completing our hike and boat ride. The lunch location was perfect to dry out a bit and enjoy a delicious meal.

This hotel is within walking distance of everything!

This is a very quaint hotel nestled in the black hills. Everything about it was wonderful.

Very nice/clean hotel with very friendly staff.

This hotel is within walking distance of everything!

The bridge if beautiful. The boat ride was quite a let-down. It takes a total of 20 minutes. They take you upriver 10 minutes then back to the start. Really not much to see. Plus, and this is something you really need to know, the hike to the boat is not an easy one. It is advertised as a tour for people from young to old. That is not the case at all. There is a great amount of hiking at both the bridge and to the boat. I am in pretty good shape and i considered it a moderate to difficult hike.

Just not what we expected.

Sobering is all I can say. God bless the souls who perished there.

The first-class bus ride was very comfortable, and the tour was amazing. There is a great amount of walking necessary for this tour.

Nice, clean and quiet hotel. There were several cafes nearby and very close to the metro. The breakfasts were amazing and everyone enjoyed the daily snacks that they had to offer. I would highly recommend.

Super nice hotel in a great location! The rooms were very nice, the hotel was clean in the rooms and public spaces, and the breakfast was phenomenal. It was nice that it had a bar with food for other hours of the day as well for those that were tired and didn't feel like venturing out. The hotel staff was also very friendly.

This was a great place to visit upon arriving to Paris. Great views of the city and a lot of things to do in the area.

Great activity for the end of the first day, when everyone was tried from traveling and walking. It was a great way to see the big attractions that were along the Seine River and to learn a little about them. The audio guides were a little more difficult to figure out how to use and some of them did not seem to work well.

No trip to Paris is complete without a visit to the Louvre to see the famous works of art and an incredible building. It is nearly impossible to see it all because it is so big. The audio guides were helpful to learn more about the art.

I was looking forward to this before we arrived but it turned out to be even more fun than I expected. Our guide, Thibeau, was fantastic and made it a lot of fun. We saw so many great sights and learned a lot from T on our tour. The stop at the market for lunch was also very nice. Another 15 minutes in the market would have been great (but that might have been cut short because we arrived late to start the tour). The bikes were really nice and comfortable to ride all day. They all looked new and in great condition. We used a tandem attachment for our 7 year old, which worked out great and prevented her from wandering into other bike/car traffic and gave her an easy way to rest if she got tired. The fun activities and challenges along the ride made it even more memorable. My kids really got into it. There were medals at the end that will be a great souvenir for them! One of the bikes got a flat tire during the tour because we ran over a screw. It was not an issue and our guide immediately sprang into action and repaired the tire quickly and got us back on our way.

This was a super fun activity that was enjoyed by all! Marthe was great and was definitely an expert at making macarons. She shared all of the tips to make perfect macarons that you will not find in the cookbooks. Everyone in our party, ranging in ages from 7-70, were able to participate and help. She shared all of the recipes with us at the end so we can try to make them at home on our own. They were definitely some of the best macarons that I have ever had! She even gave us recommendations of places to eat for afterwards!

This was a great way to see and hear about the different places along the canals. It is such a beautiful city and is even more beautiful from the canals. We enjoyed a glass of wine/beer while listening to the audio and taking in the sights.

This turned out to be more fun than we imagined. It was a small village with a lot to see and do. Everyone in our group enjoyed it. It's about a half hour drive from the city so you only spend about two hours there. Those two hours went fast as we watched how wooden clogs are made, got a demo on how they make Gouda cheese (and then sampled all the different kinds!), and then visited one of the working windmills. The time we were there went really fast and we could have easily spent another couple of hours there.

If you like art, this is a great place to visit! My husband is a huge Van Gogh fan so this was one of his must do activities in Amsterdam. I wasn't as excited to go here but I was very impressed with the museum. The audio guides made it much more interesting and I enjoyed learning his story and the background on his paintings. I now have a much bigger appreciation for Van Gogh and his artwork than I did before this visit. There was an activity for younger kids (kind of like a scavenger hunt) that made it more engaging for our 7 year old. She turned in her completed booklet at the end as was able to pick a postcard of her favorite painting!

To see working windmills of various types and to speak with operators of these magnificent mechanical machines was an unexpected delight. The Dutch advanced ahead of other pre-industrial cultures due to ingenuity and cohesion as a society. This was quite an unexpected educational insight.

To experience an evening ensemble Mozart classical music performance in the town hall Palace is the way to get started in Salzburg. There is no other way to begin, especially when upon arrival there is taking place a wine tasting event that welcomes you to join in.

Everyone was friendly and the breakfast was good but there was a lot of street noise until very late.

Good location. Nice staff. Weather was warm and rooms were VERY HOT. Asked the front desk and they instructed us to turn to level 3 air conditioning- still not effective. Maintenance came and said it was on. Still VERY hot and uncomfortable to sleep at night. They had NO floor fans to borrow which would’ve helped. Finally third night we opened the windows. Woke up with big bites all over. We had a total of 7 rooms for our extended family and all had similar issues. Cannot recommend this hotel for summer weather.

A very high end hotel. Beautiful design and decorations! Comfortable sleeping arrangements. Much like a four seasons or Ritz Carlton. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Pool was under construction which we didn’t know about, could use hotel pool across the street instead. Would have chosen another hotel had we known this was the case. I didn’t love the location because the train station was right next door thus there were a lot of homeless and begging people. Good security at hotel. Felt very safe. Breakfast was unbelievable- so many options. Beautiful spread of anything you wanted - fresh juices, bakery etc.

Great to see Berlin from the water. The narration was hard to hear with the guests talking. All the guests were German. Narration was in German and English. Perhaps an English only coat cruise would have been better? Food was just ok. No one really liked the type of food.

The BEST way to see Berlin. All 17 of us loved the bikes, guide and tour. Even the 82 and 84 year old grandparents were able to participate in a rickshaw. Guides were knowledgeable, interesting , funny and relatable.

Exceeded our expectations. Super interesting- spent 2 hours and could’ve spent more time. Very well done.

Not a good tour. Only thing interesting was the wall and paintings on it. Our guide Klaus was not good. Was boring. Marched us through neighborhood streets that weren’t appealing. Kept waiting for it to get better. Never did. Finally we asked to stop for a drink as teenagers and older parents were tiered and bored. Stopped at a very small coffee shop with 3 seats outside (17 in our group). We ended the tour and called taxis back to our hotels. We still don’t know what the point of this tour. We didn’t see, eat or talk about anything other than the neighborhood being run down and dangerous. Wasted our time. Never had such a poor tour in my life! Guess only good was laughing about it afterwards.

We ended up switching the tour to the Neuremburg courthouse and mini tour of the city. Thanks to our tour guide for offering this idea. He could tell that our group was tiered from the early train ride. He was knowledgeable and easy going. Loved seeing the courthouse. Very well done and interesting

Very interesting tour of Dachue. Everyone had read so much about this but to see it in person is sobering. Well done how they’ve made it informative yet memorable for those that lost their lives.

Loved the dinner place - location below the old town hall was so special. We really liked our private room. Restaurant was authentic and fancy. I’m glad it wasn’t just another beer hall. Great way to end our trip together. Food was also excellent!

Had some issues with 2 members leaving late due to illness. Wish we could’ve gotten refund for some of the activities- not sure effort was made to cancel them? Did call and utilize emergency line one evening for flight delay. Sometimes hard because they weren’t in same city (we were in Germany, they were in France). After a few calls back and forth she was able to fix a few of the issues. She made a new train reservation and hotel reservation because location of flight arrival changed.

Best tour of our trip by far. Our guide Elizabeth was the best. She was so personable, knowledgeable and helpful. Any questions she was happy to answer. Very generous with her time. A true professional. She explained the day in detail and offered suggestions since it was so long. She adapted things based on our group - ages 14 to 84!!

Due to our amazing guide Elizabeth, we were able to tailor the day exactly how we wanted. We spent most of the day in charming Rothenburg. Just what you picture of Germany. Elizabeth explained our options in the town. There was something for everyone. Many said this was the best day of the week in Germany.

What a perfect way to see a city - not on foot or in a car but on a bike. Great to have a private tour. Everyone ages 14-84 loved the tour of Munich. The rickshaw for the older adults worked perfectly. So much history and architecture. The stop at the beer garden for lunch was outstanding. Robert was sure to explain the food and drink options etc.

I felt like royalty while staying at the Hotel Victoria! Not only are the rooms pleasant with modern amenities and soothing wood paneling, but you also have the benefit of staying in a historic building with an amazing view of the old town tower right outside our room and a view of the old town platz. Breakfast was exceptional with high quality ingredients and presentation, along with exceptional coffee!

Amazing hotel near Alexander Platz; central location, welcoming, clean, stylish with amazing breakfast! Our only complaint was how hot, humid and stale the rooms were--no air movement and they ran out of fans for guestrooms, so it was unpleasant to stay in your room and hard to sleep.

Great hotel with stylish and comfortable rooms and pleasant staff!

Lovely 2 bedroom apartment

The uniqueness of this tour and the private atmosphere was incredible. Carl's knowledge and intimacy with the wine regions made this trip so special and we felt treated to experiences and encounters we would not have enjoyed if this had been more conventional or in a large group. 10/10!!

The best it could be! Great bus ride, gorgeous country and fun and informative guide who was easy to understand.

Ronan was a top-notch tour guide who made history come alive and was interesting to speak with and made everyone very comfortable.

Very good tour that gave us a wonderful overview of Munich. Our only tiny complaint is that our guide was a bit difficult to hear amid all the noise of the city and crowds and size of our group. He really needed a headset with a microphone.

Very hard but necessary tour in the area. Despite the heaviness of the nature of this tour, Carlotta our guide made it fascinating and she was such a delight to spend the afternoon with!

This is the cutest hotel ever. The breakfast was excellent. The side courtyard was a lovely place to have dinner. Loved it! The location for what we wanted to see was also good. Bus service was right outside the hotel and convenient!

We stayed at a different hotel. It was the ArtHotel in Munich which was wonderful!

All I can say is that this is the cutest hotel ever! The staff were amazing and the breakfast was fantastic.

This hotel was a bit quirky, but it was located perfectly. Everything was in walking distance and the square was charming. We loved it! Breakfast was great.

This hotel is very modern and dark. Everything is BLACK and cold. The rooms are small but comfortable and modern. It is located on a street where there is a lot of construction and close to the plaza where there are cute stores and nice restaurants. The square was busy since the soccer games were being played there while we were visiting. The breakfast was phonemenal! Staff was okay, not overly friendly. The location was the best which is why I think it was chosen. A short walk put you near all of the old buildings and the history of Frankfurt. The location really was the best. It is a big hotel!

Every one should do this! It is an amazing experience. The boat ride on the lake was excellent!

This was fantastic! Everyone should do it!

This trip was excellent! Everyone should do it!

We actually were so tired on our arrival we asked the guide to just take us to a good restaurant and enjoy the area!

Everyone should do this tour. It was beyond fantastic!

We did not do this activity

Our guide was amazing!

good spot- close to train station for day trips- rooms were clean and breakfast was perfect- even for gluten free persons.

This hotel was fine, but it wasn't as nice as the Scandic in Frankfurt. The location was convenient, being close to the train station, but the ambiance wasn't as appealing. The rooms were okay, and the included breakfast was a plus.

This hotel wasn't our favorite. The location wasn't the best, and the hotel itself seemed a bit worn down. The rooms were okay, but the surrounding area wasn't very appealing. However, the staff was friendly, and the stay was comfortable overall.

big boat- cruse was fine- nothing special

beautiful boat- very comfortable and 1st class

great history- very good knowledge of the guide Kevin

fun and great way to see the city- Sarah was great guide- perfect mix of history and local / current lifestyle

This hotel was beautiful, but it didn't have air conditioning which was quite a problem during the summer heat. I was not aware of this when I booked it. Nonetheless, I managed by opening the window to cool down. I'd say it was an okay experience but they should definitely let customers know about the lack of AC beforehand.

This hotel was also good but like the previous one, it lacked air conditioning. However, the cooler temperatures in Grindelwald during the night made the stay bearable. The hotel was fine overall, but again, knowing about the lack of air conditioning in advance would've been helpful

I enjoyed the kayaking activity, but I probably would have just rented the kayaks ourselves instead of hiring a guide.

The guide, Barbara, was knowledgeable but very opinionated, which made the tour a little less enjoyable.

This was my favorite activity. The tour guide, Jim, was absolutely fantastic - interactive, engaging, and down-to-earth. He was very knowledgeable, but never condescending, which made the tour very enjoyable. I'd highly recommend Jim and this tour.

This was a nice tour, but I feel that renting a car and driving down ourselves would have been a better and more cost-effective option.

Breakfast was absolutely fantastic. The hotel staff was helpful and flexible during our stay.

Breakfast was amazing!! Staff was helpful and accommodating.

Monika was a great guide. She gave us personal insight into the history and events that took place in Berlin.

Probably the best tour and museum on our trip. Having the passes ready for us made the experience that much better.

Eva was great guide that took us away from the 'commercial areas' to understand more about Amsterdam and all of the history from when it was founded and evolved over the years. She used maps and visuals to really bring that history to life so we could fully understand the significance of the city. We highly recommend Eva for anyone interested in touring Amsterdam.

Blanca became part of our family during the course of the day trip. She literally spent the entire day with us getting to know us and us her. Her knowledge of the history of Bruges was amazing. Her recommendations for where to eat and even more so, where to snack, was spot on. We highly recommend using Blanca for tours in Bruges.
