Kimkim Trip Reviews for Spain

The best - our captain was so engaging and made the trip a real treat.

Lunch at Alameda was excellent - relaxing, superb service and wonderful meal.

Our private tour of the Guggenheim was excellent. Our second time to the museum in 10 years and this tour was very meaningful to us.

So much fun! A real hands on experience with Benjor and Maria.

We felt like we spent 3 hours with a real wine expert. We finished knowing much more about the area and the wines than we did before.

Puebloastur Eco-Resort Wellness & Spa in the mountains was a highlight. The location was stunning, and the hotel featured an incredible art collection with beautiful sculptures. The spa was very nice, and the overall experience there was truly memorable. I enjoyed it so much that I found myself texting pictures to friends. Definitely a place I would recommend!

The Parador hotels, like the Parador de Santiago de Compostela, were absolutely delightful. They are housed in historic buildings like former monasteries and have been beautifully refurbished. It was a charming experience staying in such unique accommodations with character, and I highly recommend it!

The private cooking class was a fantastic experience. We cooked a variety of dishes, including the iconic Spanish potato tortilla. It was really fun to learn and be able to cook a dish that locals actually eat at home.

Exploring the Cíes Islands was one of my favorite activities. Located in the northwest corner of Spain, just above Portugal, the islands were stunning and definitely worth recommending to anyone visiting this area.

Everything was ok with this place. Very minimalistic but had enough that met our needs. A little far from the center of town. We walked there about a 20 minute walk but usually had to get a cab at the end of a long day. And typical cost was 20 Euro for A 5 minute ride. But the walk to town was beautiful and the flowers were awesome.

It was nice to have a little apartment feel. The location was great with everything in walking distance. The staff was super helpful and gave great recommendations all through our stay.

H10 hotels were my favorite on our entire trips. Always well appointed and very clean and well set up. The moment you walk in you know you are in good hands. The staff was very welcoming from check in throughout our entire stay

The place was awesome. The character and location was great. Close enough to everything but in a quiet quaint area of town. Well appointed

The hotels was great. Very clean well appointed and perfect location. Walking distance to all the city events and attraction but enough off the main setting in a quiet neighborhood. The staff was wonderful

No review. Trip cancelled do to weather

Absolutely perfect. Although it was a self guided tour or driver Teo was very knowledgeable and described everything that we needed to do and see and took us to the right vantage and gave us great eating recommendations. He even shared his Spanish Spotify play list with me

This was an Amazing start to our trip. The guide was so fun and energetic. He truly enjoyed his job and went out of his way to make sure everyone was included. He selected local cuisine and challenged us to try new things

He took us to a special spot to see a terrific view that I don’t think everyone would know about unless you were very local.

This is right off the Gran Via but it doesn’t feel that way. It has the look of an old property that has been tastefully updated with flare. Rooms are good-sized. Very clean. Wonderful breakfast and good bar serving drinks and lights fare in the evening. A relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere.

This is a lovely boutique hotel on the edge of the Baixa and the Old City. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They made me feel special, and tracked me down in the breakfast room when I was late for an excursion pickup (my fault). The breakfast was delicious and very fresh. At night the bar was a good place to have a glass of wine and chat with other guests. I would definitely stay here again!

The walking tour of Lisbon with Alex was fabulous. As a local, he clearly knew the area and had connections with other locals, which enriched the experience. His familiarity and rapport with the community made the tour feel intimate and authentic. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to truly understand Lisbon.

The day trip to Toledo was outstanding. Everything went smoothly, from the clean and timely train to the easy navigation of the train stations. Toledo was a charming city, and our guide, who was very knowledgeable having grown up there, enhanced the experience greatly. I would highly recommend a day tour to Toledo for anyone visiting Madrid.

The excursion to Sintra was disappointing. The guide was not up to par and did not allow space for questions or interaction. The tour of Pena Palace was overcrowded, and the audio guide was ineffective due to guards rushing us through, so the audio did not match what we were looking at. The restaurant for lunch seemed to be a conflict of interest as it was owned by someone associated with the excursion company, and the meal was mediocre. Overall, I felt it could have been time better spent in Lisbon.

Gustavo was a great driver and made sure to take good care of us. He asked what we wanted to see, foods we liked so he could get the right lunch reservation, and told us about the valley, the river, villages, and more. He worked well with our hiking guide as far as timing and drop off and pickup. When we took a little long in the hike, he easily adjusted so we got to lunch in time. Our hike with Carlos was astounding. Hiking down from the top of a hill through vineyards hundreds of years old is an incredible experience. There are beautiful old stone walls, slate supports for the vines, twists of plant material to secure the vines,. These are things we would have missed completely from a car. We walked by shelters for the workers to take their siestas-which they need working from dawn to dark. We were so glad we did this. The vineyard visit at the end of the day was great. It’s one of the few that still crushes some grapes by foot. It was fun to see the granite vats where that’s done. And the wine, of course, was incomparable. This was one of those perfect days from beginning to end. At the restaurant we even ran into a group celebrating a 65th birthday. They shared champagne with us and we sang Happy Birthday to the birthday girl.

This hotel was beautiful, we had a wonderful time here. The dinner was spectacular.

Staff was rude. We actually opted to not have dinner there (which was already paid for) so we didn't have to deal with them.

Clean but basic accommodation but was fine for our needs

We had a great experience here. The amenities were great, including the rooms and breakfast. The hotel staff also did a great job when there was an extended power outage, making sure people were comfortable and taken care of. We are grateful!

Guide was really good, knowledgeable. He customized our tour for us and was spot on

Karla was excellent and this was a really fun tour with a lot of really good food. Great experience!

Guide and driver were excellent. Wineries and lunch also excellent

It was raining and our guide (Pedro?) was happily willing to continue the tour. He did an excellent job and the tour was great

Guides were excellent as was the lunch stop

Ana was awesome and we loved this experience. Food and company was excellent.

Excellent

Located in the historic district with a short walk to everything this hotel is beautiful and peaceful. I had a beautiful room with a separate salon for relaxing and entertained some friends during an afternoon rain shower. The staff was excellent and the breakfast in the restaurant was fantastic. Happy hour every evening with plenty of wine and beer selections on the honor system I would stay here again the next time I visit Cordoba.

All the walking tours during our trip were excellent. They were well organized and informative, enhancing our experience.

We would not recommend this apartment. Very tiny for 4 people, location was subpar on busy loud road. The building felt more like a hostel without any charm.

By far our favorite accommodation. The view from the room was stunning. Room was clean, spacious enough for 4 and wonderful large bathroom and shower. Breakfast was delicious!

Great location, attentive staff and amazing breakfast. Awesome shower!

Great location and spacious enough for 4.

AMAZING! A favorite of everyone’s! Jamie was a spectacular guide. Diego and Jamie were the best. Highly recommend both of these guys.

AMAZING! Guide and tour was spectacular. We all loved Diego!

The weather was terrible and of no fault of our guide. Adjustments were made on the fly to accommodate for weather and preferences. Guide was knowledgeable but not personable. Turned out to be same guide as pixtos tour the evening before.

Fun way to learn, eat and drink through the City. Also fun to meet a few other visitors from around the world on this small group tour.

Megan did a great job. Good way to get acclimated to Madrid.

A classic must do in Seville but nothing spectacular.

Ferran was the best. Biking around Seville was the way to go. Strongly recommend!

Beautiful hotel, great location, very friendly and helpful staff, spotlessly clean and great rooftop bar.

Loved this hotel! So beautiful and stylish and ideal location. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Highly recommend.

Good location but noisy late into the night. Breakfast was just okay.

Ideal location, excellent breakfast, very fun bar, great staff and clean comfortable rooms

Ronda is a beautiful place and our guide was very good. It is overrun with tourists though. We enjoyed our time there, especially our lunch at a very old family run tapas restaurant.

Marta was the perfect guide. So knowledgeable and enthusiastic. You learn a lot about Granada and see some beautiful areas.

Probably our favorite tour of this trip. Gabriela was one of our favorite guides and the Alhambra was our favorite place we visited. Not having experienced Islamic culture before, this was an eye opening place. Beautiful gardens and architecture.

Truly a new experience for us. Very dramatic and authentic feeling. Very well organized in a unique setting.

Carolina was a sweetheart and great guide. She loves her job.

Carlos was a doll. Such a fun evening with multinationals in great restaurants.

Geza was wonderful and very personable. Saw places we would have missed.

So much fun as well as delicious. Our guide made sure we all felt included and was interested in getting to know us. The tour took place in a non touristy area so that was refreshing.

Absolutely beautiful. All our needs taken care of - efficiently and courteously. Dining room a wonderful experience . The dinners on both occasions were excellent. The coffee station at breakfast could have been a little more efficient.

Guide was excellent. Walked to many places off the beaten track Wonderful

Rained out

Rained out

Guide was excellent and knowledgeable.

Too long and not very interesting

Wife and daughter enjoyed it. Was fine for one hour performance. They took other people’s advice and turned down the A/C. Was comfortable. You’re in Barcelona so you might as well see. There are many such establishments like this available

Jaime was excellent. Highly recommended

Sara did a great job. Had lots of fun with the other guests.

The young man who took us out was great. It’s a 2 hour tour and we had to get a train later that day. Possibly a little tight if running late. You don’t see much in two hours. If the weathers good it’s fun. If it’s cold and windy, not so much.

Modern chain hotel with large rooms and very nice dining options. Located very close to La Sagrada Familia.

Lovely breakfast room, good individual rooms located in dark hallways, prime location.

We enjoyed this unique, historic hotel and the walk from our room to the main building through corridors interspersed with fountains, flowers and patios. It was a nice, easy walk to the Alcazar and historic center.

Even though we saw these sites from the outside we learned a lot more about them by touring the interior.

We really enjoyed all of the sites and wished there had been more time in Girona. We got a late start due to mechanical issues with the van. Not the tides fault at all.

Beautiful, iconic, must see sites viewed as part of a larger group. The sites were very crowded but the guide did a good job navigating us along.

Miguel was an excellent guide and covered a lot of really interesting sites and locales. The small group was a good size.

Really excellent tour filled with local information and tips and delicious food. Wished this had been at the start of our trip but I’m sure scheduling was challenging because of the Easter holiday.

It was unseasonably cold and rainy the day of the trip which dampened our experience a bit. Interesting cities and sites explained well with a very good recommendation for a restaurant at lunch.

Complimented the Prado Museum tour that we did on the same day.

Excellent way to see the amazing collection and learn about Spanish history.

Hotel Cortezo in Madrid was probably my least favorite among the hotels we stayed at during the trip. Though the staff were excellent and breakfast was great, the hotel felt a bit dated, and the views were not impressive. However, being centrally located made it convenient, so it served its purpose.

The Eurostars Plaza Acueducto in Segovia was very nicely situated right in the heart of the city, which was great for exploring. The accommodations were pleasant, albeit not quite as impressive as some of the other hotels we stayed at, but still a nice place to stay in Segovia.

Palacio del Carmen in Santiago de Compostela stood out for its exceptional service. We happened to stay there during a country-wide blackout, and the hotel staff handled the situation exceptionally well, maintaining calm and offering great service despite the circumstances. The staff at breakfast were particularly wonderful, ensuring we had a great start to the day. Hector, in particular, was fabulous.

Barceló Oviedo Cervantes in Oviedo was my favorite hotel of the trip. The accommodations were wonderful, and the breakfast was absolutely fantastic with a wide spread that I loved. The hotel provided such a nice atmosphere, contributing to an overall superb experience.

Guillermo was an amazing guide during our excursion to the Museo Indiano and Gijón. He was knowledgeable and made the tour personal and delightful. His passion for the culture and history shone through, and he went out of his way to show us a fantastic time. We got to see unique sites with special significance to us, and the experience was arguably the highlight of our entire trip. The lunch by the water with calamari and the tapas was an added bonus to the wonderful day. Definitely a top-notch experience!

The rooms were spacious, clean and beautiful. We were here during the power outage when the grid in all of Spain went down. The gentleman who was running the restaurant ( Javio - spelling?) went above and beyond to not only to serve us a meal ( sandwich and salad because they did not need to be cooked) but found some board games at the front desk and let us play by candlelight until the power came back on.

The quarters were a bit cramped- not a lot of room for luggage

The Hotel is right next to the historic Medieval town which we explored. This is the reason for visiting this place. The rooms are comfortable but since it is an old historic building I sense there are restrictions to how they can renovate. Having said that the bathrooms and HVAC are modern upgrades.

A comfortable hotel in a good location. A little dated in its decor. Breakfast was excellent - similar to all the hotels we stayed at this trip.

The ICON BCN is a very nice boutique hotel The

Loved this hotels location, room quality, beautiful view from the room and elswhere, lovely gardens, excellent restaurant

This was an individual tour so we got to know and converse with our guide Marta who was great.I think a food and wine tour is a great way to get introduce to a new city.

Sagrada Familia is an amazing must see experience. It was busy so the excursion allowed the small group to skip the line. Our guide was excellent and the walking tour is a great introduction to the historic areas of Barcelona.

I would suggest this for anyone new to Spain/Barcelona. This was a small group and we were able to get to know each other as we walked between tapas bars. A very pleasant experience.

We were put in an apartment with no information for check in or other logistics. Our driver could not drop us off close to the apartment. We had to walk a few blocks with our suitcases and once we found the door to the apartment, it was just that, a door. Through the KimKim app we quickly found the USense phone number to call, they walked us through and remotely helped us enter the apartment building. Our key was located in our unit! they also told us we would be charged an early check in fee. I thought that was odd, since KimKim knew we were arriving early and we had a tour at 2pm. The apartment was in a good location, but it wasn't necessary to have an apartment and unsure why an apartment was provided and not a hotel guestroom. The thermostat wouldn't work either.

A historical and luxurious hotel, centrally located. Staff was outstanding!

Carlos was fantastic! He was passionate, fun and a great guide.

The guide was great, but we were unsure if she knew what we booked. The tour ended much earlier than the KimKim itinerary stated. All we toured was the Palace.
