Kimkim Trip Reviews for Spain

Eduardo was the consumate chef instructor. Kitchen was spotless and well equipped. Thoroughly enjoyed the market visit and create our own delicious lunch.

Teresa was terrific. As a local she was very well informed about the best Tapas bars and the best Flamenco experience.

Really visiting the bull fight museum.

Antequera was a fascinating. We appreciated the legacy of the Romans, Moors and the Christians. The exploration the Dolmens was amazing. The El Torcal hike was stunning given the unique rock formations

An incredible experience not to be missed.

It was fun to be part of a small group for this tour in the historical section. The selection of Tapas bars, the foods and beverages was first rate. Great introduction to Barcelona.

Gaudi's unique architecture was a thrill to see first hand. Our guide was knowledgeable and given the hordes of folks at the Sagrada Familia we were glad that we could skip the lines.

Repetitive given the first night Tapas tour in the Old Town. Would have enjoyed the Picasso museum more with an audio guide to move through the exhibits at our own pace.

Our private guide was amazing and we got so much out of the experience instead of having a look by ourselves.

Our private guide was great and we got to learn a lot about the history and see a lot around town. She took us to all the major sites in Zaragoza on an easy walk and pointed out the major landmarks/streets so we could walk around on our own easily without her.

Alfonso took us on a great walk around the Old town and it was a fun thing to do to experience local food and talk and learn about Basque culture and the history of San Sebastián.

We had a few guided walks with Jordi from Color bike company. He was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He brought us to some delicious restaurants and we felt like we saw almost everything in Barcelona over 3 days. He had great recommendations. You can tell he enjoys being a guide and loves to share his culture and the history of Barcelona.

A really fun half day going around San Sebastian, walking, lunch in Pasaia at a nice restaurant, and a nice relaxing boat ride back to San Sebastián. Gorgeous scenery all around.

Smaller intimate venue with 3 generations of flamenco dancers! We also had a guided walk and a nice tapas dinner at a nice restaurant before the flamenco show located on Las Ramblas.

This is not a private tour but a group tour with about 20 people. The headphones worked well and the guide gave a good lecture. La Sagrada is a must see!

Our guide was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and fund to walk the city with. My wife and I really enjoyed the 1:1 private experience and we would highly recommend it.

Our guide in Granada was spectacular! My wife was unable to make the tour so it ended up being only myself and the tour guide and we had an amazing time. His knowledge of the Alhambra was amazing. It was a very enjoyable and educational experience and I would recommend it to anyone who plans to visit the Alhambra.

This show was amazing! The location and performers were very entertaining and professional. The entire experience felt very authentic and natural. I would highly recommend it.

The hotel is tired, but very well located with helpful staff and large Jr. Suite room. Nice amenities. They tried.

Funky duplex apartment in fabulous old town location. Walked to everything. Enjoyed having the washer/dryer combo in our suite.

A perfect location and view with good front desk staff. There was a glitch with our reservation, but they made it right. The 2 BR apartment with Alhambra view was amazing! We were able to walk EVERYWHERE.

Our Jr Suite was gorgeous, but there were several glitches, including TV, lighting and a strange odor due to ongoing construction in the building. Perfect location and great staff. Lovely buffet breakfast, with eggs to order. Walked everywhere.

Our guide was fabulous and VERY fluent in English. We enjoyed our exploration and having her help with ordering our delicious lunch. We enjoyed our guide so much, we invited her to visit us in the states!

Enjoyed our tour and learned much about the culinary/tapas scene with our American/British guide.

Ivan was a wonderful human who provided a beautiful tour. Highly recommend!

Very authentic experience

A perfect day of exploraton. Our guide was fabulous!

Our guide was fabulous! Personable and VERY informative. LOVED our visit to the Prado and his guided tapas tour. HIGHLY recommend our guide, Antonio Santiago Abastas.

The guide in Madrid was amazing. The tour provided a great experience and insight into the city.

The group tour in English was fine, but not the best we've done. The three-hour duration was more than enough. It was informative, but not the highlight of our trip.

The guide was lovely and knowledgeable. The communication was excellent, and the guide provided a good experience overall.

A great way to see a lot of the city in a short amount of time. Fun, and just the right amount of history.

Our guide, Javi, was terrific! His pride in the park was evident, and we enjoyed the way he wanted us to experience the park work all of our senses. He adjusted to our level, and took our teenager (who's a rock climber) on some extra paths to explore.

One of our favorite excursions of the trip. Longer than described, so we ended up having to leave early to make it to meet our guide at the Alhambra... that was a little disappointing. But the guides were flexible and helped us make it work. The ride itself was fun and just beautiful. It was amazing to bike through all of the different climate zones. The Ebikes were easy to use and the route was fantastic

Alberto was an excellent guide. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable. A great balance of historical storytelling and art history commentary

Jaime was an excellent guide. Personable and knowledgeable, adaptable and gave us options along the way to extend our hike. Definitely hooked tetanus we never could have navigated in our own.

We felt like we were driving around town with the mayor... in buggies! A lot of fun, beautiful views, and felt like we were exploring Ronda with an insider. We enjoyed his recommendations for exploring the town on our own after, and appreciated the tips on things like how to see the bullring.

Pretty views. I think we were spoiled by the remoteness of our other activities-- this felt very "touristy" in comparison. But it was a fun experience.

Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast and afternoon tea was a bonus! The only issue we had was that we could not adjust the temperature of the room. We were offered a fan which helped some.

The location of this hotel is great but the hotel rooms backing into the street and bar can be very loud until quite late at night. The staff at the front desk were professional but in the breakfast area the staff were very warm and helpful. The spread was great as well.

Good hotel but we were unable to adjust the temperature in the room. Great breakfast spread. We did not find the staff very helpful in giving directions as far as where to leave the luggage while we were completing the check in process and we had to carry it up and down several stairs which was not easy given our physical limitations.

Please make sure that if there is a change in the itinerary that people should be informed. If unable to get a hold of them by phone a message should be left at the front desk of the hotel.

Very Good Location for visiting all the Citadel sights and sounds. In the center of Cafe's and restaurants nearby.

When you arrive at this hotel -- the main desk is located at an "inaccessible", "up a flight of stairs" location. You obviously have to first go to the front desk to check in, however there is NO REASON TO BE LUGGING UP YOUR LUGGAGE UP TO THE FRONT DESK. No one tells you this. You do not need to lift heavy luggage to the front desk, because this area will NOT lead you to your room anyway. The reception staff could have easily told us this. We lugged up our luggage up a flight of stairs manually (no Elevator at this level) to the front desk -- only to learn, now you have to carry the luggage back down again to pathway leading you to your Lift/elevator that takes you to your room.

The front desk people were amazingly helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. Taxis pull up to the front door -- a great convenience.

Of course Alhambra and the Gardens are amazing and not to be missed. Out trip was marred by: -- Tickets bought for a particular Date and Time slot in advance were suddenly changed ---We had to wait 2 hours to meet our assigned Tour Guide -- The place is easy to get to by Taxi -- but there was no clear cut guidance about where and how to get to the Taxi stand once the Tour ends. Asking around we only got vague and incorrect guidance. The tour ends "FAAAAR" away from where you can catch your return Taxi -- beware.

This was near our hotel, which was fortunate since we just flew in from Atlanta and were pretty loopy. It was a lovely first taste of Spain for us, and we easily found a tapas restaurant there to stumble into!

Unless you know about the Sagrada Família, you have no idea what you are about to see. Far from just a cathedral, it is a bizarre beautiful simultaneous expression of modern art and architecture. Seriously, it looks like a bunch of gigantic cartoon spaceships, combined with an explosion of color. My guide was fun, courteous and knowledgeable. It was the perfect tour for the day after our jet lagged arrival from TN.

This is a fun experience. I didn't know much about Gaudi before the tour, and now I feel like I know him personally. We got into the Casa quickly with no wait.

ARIA administers your experience very efficiently. The greeter and helper makes what could be an otherwise awkward experience into a comfortable one. This was a highlight of our visit to Spain. Everything was top shelf treatment, including the massage and baths.

The guide was amazing. She was fun and knowledgeable. Nice 2-1/2 hour walk with tons of education about the city.

OMG so fun. Be ready to be seen while you take the lesson, since the space is visible while folks are seated for the show. I was so surprised at the quality of this museum/show/school. This is an amazing and very unique experience.

Carlos is now our friend. I can't say how much we loved him and the trip. He loves music and we played each others' spotify music on the way to Cadiz. He is easy to interact with and he deserves kudos for the quality of service he provides.

A little long at 4-1/2 hours of walking, but worth every minute. This guy entertains as well as teaches. He's fun, nice, and likes to talk. He takes you through the town and you see all the tapas bars, visit if they are open. I recommend if you want to have a good long fun walk and feel like you really know Madrid.

Theresa, our guide, was fantastic. We instantly had a good rapport with her and had lots of fun walking around on a chilly December night. She took us to several tapas restaurants, and it was just a great time. She was very knowledgeable about Granada. I recommend this highly for couples or groups that want to get closer to the locals.

Very personal and interesting experience at three wineries. Learned a TON about wine making. The guide had a very good rapport with us and made the day fun. Beware of the amount of alcohol you can taste on this trip, so go easy. This was certainly one of the highlights of our trip to Spain.

Carlos was fun and entertaining. Very knowledgeable about Spanish history and the Alahambra. I can't say enough good things about this tour.

Arantxa was a wonderful guide, full of anecdotes, life advice and historical stories!

Staying in Begur and enjoying the scenery was a highlight of our trip; we travelled in November during off-season and it was very peaceful and quiet.

Amazing, adults only hotel. Beautiful hotel, good buffet, great drinks, great location!

Very nice hotel. Took about 45 min to arrive at the hotel from the airport, but the drive was amazing along the coastline. The hotel was nice, clean, beautiful surroundings, and good food!

Amazing tour! Would definitely recommend this tour to others. We saw the sunset above the clouds, and then we experienced stargazing like I've never seen it before. Definitely a once in a lifetime tour.

Perfect day with our awesome, private tour guide. I would definitely recommend this tour. Our guide took us all over Lanzarote, and explained to us all about the volcanoes as well as the vineyards. He even stopped at a couple different beaches at the end of the tour so we could see those sights. He packed us a delicious, local to the Canary Islands, picnic lunch which we enjoyed in a lava tube!

This activity was a blast! We took a short ferry ride to La Graciosa were we were able to explore on our own for about an hour. Then we boarded a catamaran and sailed around the island, stopping for lunch and a swim. This was a perfect day that I will not forget!

Our guide and the food was amazing! Highly recommend.

Enjoyed this tour to 2 of Barcelona’s most iconic locations.

I would go back to Barcelona just for this activity! It was the absolute highlight of our trip.

Beautiful hike, but much more intensive than advertised. Would label this as “moderate to difficult” hike.

Our guide was lovely and the olive oil mill was so interesting! We loved learning about the process and what makes a great olive oil.

Hotel Astoria was a super cute little boutique hotel. The room was lovely, a tad small, but lovely. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff were quite friendly and great to deal with. They ensured that all of our needs were met.

These five stars are a direct result of our tour guide, Lina. She was given a tricky assignment - to show us Tangier in three hours or less. She wisely kept us in the old quarter - not only did this mean we were able to see some historical sites and visit some local artisans without spending precious time covering long distances, but this is also where she grew up, and therefore where she was most familiar (and recognized!). Lina was warm, engaging, and knowledgeable about her home neighborhood and the history of Tangier. We had lovely conversations as we meandered the winding streets and somehow left as the proud new owners of two Moroccan rugs.

Gloria was super fun and so informative without being boring. She took us through the Alcazaba with a passion for the info that kept us all interested. She then walked us through Malaga, leaving us to eat one of our favorite meals.

We visited a couple of Tapas places and walked around Seville and saw what felt like all of Seville in one walk which is awesome. We had thought this was more of a food tour by the title of it but it was more like a tour that ended with Tapas, which was still great, but was different than what we had expected.

Super cool experience! The massages were really good and the facilities were wonderful. We could have booked a longer massage or had more time here to relax, 90 minutes didn't seem enough to enjoy.

This was a nice relaxing ride on the river. It was really only about 75 minutes, not 2 hours and the scenery wasn't that awesome compared to all the other sites we had seen.

After traveling for 3 weeks we were tired and Alfonso and our guide Juan were able to accommodate us and make this walk through Madrid just perfect. We were able to see the sites and get super interesting info about them and also get valuable info on what to see, avoid, or do on our own. We went places that we likely wouldn't have walked on our own.

I'm so glad we went to Toledo. We thought it might be a long day and while it was, it was super cool to see.The history, the art, the old medieval town were all amazing. We visited great museums, cathedrals, we ate and we even shopped and enjoyed the short train ride to and from Toledo. Might have been one of our favorite days.

Had a wonderful night tromping around Barcelona and seeing some of the highlights of the Gothic Quarter. Stopped for Tapas and had so much food! :) The title of the tour made us think it was kind of a Tapas tour instead of being a Tour that Also had Tapas. So that's the only reason for 4 stars because we had different expectations. But was a great night!

Perfect gem of a hotel! Amazing location. Sweet staff (shout out Miguel & Eva!!)
