Kimkim Trip Reviews for Spain

Great view and location. The infinity pool is picture worthy.... Could be cleaner though.

We happen to be in a small group so we were able to get to know the other guests more. We walked to multiple restaurants and tried a variety of dishes - think of it like bar hopping if you will. As we walked to each place, we gain insight of the city and the origin of each tapas dish.

Very friendly staff with a hipster atmosphere to the place. We paired up and made a unique paella dish per group that we then got to sample each dish made.

We loved the Tuk-Tuk tour! Perhaps because we were finally off our feet. Seriously, the tuk-tuk and guide were perfect. Entertaining, efficient, and the tour was just the right length. Great combination.

We only toured the palace. Guide was fine but again we were finished before she was.

We skipped this tour. We only toured the church which was great for Theresa.

Theresa was enthralled with the whole experience. So this rating is for her.

The exterior of the museum is the reason to visit. We were disappointed in the exhibits.

Beautiful setting, interesting tour. Eating lunch here was my idea but it wasn't as special as I hoped. The lunch at the vineyard on the way to Leon was much better and felt authentic.

For all of us, this was a superb location to visit. Just what we needed. The tour guide Veronica?-- was the best! Mature, knowledgeable, entertaining. Perfect fit --History teacher--for our interests.

The location was beautiful, information interesting. Unfortunately, the guide was a distraction. She said she was a trained Opera singer and preceded to sing at inappropriate times. She also had exaggerated gestures and was a bit over the top, really. When we'd try to cut sections short, she was insistent that we had to follow her lead. Our driver on the other hand was wonderful. Excellent, safe driver.

The easy entry and overall efficiencies getting to and entering the La Sagrada Familia were great. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The tour of the other Gaudi locations could have been shorter. We tried to end the tour early--we were tired-- but it didn't seem to be an option.

We loved the Only You hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the location was amazing, the views from the room and the top of the hotel (where we ate breakfast) were beautiful. We really enjoyed staying at the Only You in Malaga.

We loved our stay at the Melia. The rooftop had an amazing view of the city, our room was nice and the food was good! The staff were friendly and very helpful with every detail of our stay. The location was great too and we had no problem walking everywhere we needed to go.

We really enjoyed this hotel! The staff were friendly, it was a great location and the food was good. It was a pretty hotel and we enjoyed our stay here!

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was great! We enjoyed our stay here.

We enjoyed the beautiful drive to Marbella with Angel who was informative and so friendly. Marbella old town was beautiful and really neat! We had a delicious lunch there and enjoyed looking at the pretty flower lined streets and visiting the shops. Overall we had a fun trip to Marbella.

Malaga is another beautiful city in Spain and we had a great private tour with Nahuel. He was a great guide and very informative! We enjoyed this tour and learning the history of Malaga. The Roman Theater was very cool and we learned how the Cathedral of Malaga was unfinished but they are working on finishing it now. It was also at the time of Picasso's birthday which is the same day as mine and so we learned more about his history with Malaga. Nahuel also gave us some great suggestions for places to go eat and to see while we were there. This was a great tour!

We enjoyed the views of the countryside on this private drive with Rafael who was very nice to Rhonda and when we got there, WOW! What an amazing place! The views and cliff are just incredible and the town of Rhonda was fun too. We had an excellent lunch at a cafe in the city and enjoyed walking around. But really it's all about the views. Wow!

Wow! The Alhambra and gardens are amazing! There was so much to see and it was beautiful! Christina was a great guide and very informative and made the tour fun. The views were incredible as well as the beautiful gardens and of course the palaces. The old fortress and the old roman aqueduct and ruins were very cool. There is a museum onsite that had some very neat artifacts. There were so many different parts to this tour and each part was spectacular! We really enjoyed this tour!

What a great Flamenco show in Granada! We even enjoyed the walk up the hill to the Sacromonte area where the Flamenco show was held in the cave. It was a lot of fun and the performers were so talented from the dancers to the singers to the guitar player. We had a great experience!

Wow! Cordoba is such a neat city with so much to see! We had a great tour with Jose who was so informative! We loved the old Roman bridge and of course the Mezquita, the enormous mosque-cathedral. That was pretty amazing and there was so much in there to take in! It is such an interesting history. We had an excellent lunch while there and some free time to explore.

We really loved this tour of the Olive Oil Estate. Alberto our driver to the estate was a lot of fun and taught us a lot as well. Sarah, who led our private tour of the estate was great! We learned so much that we didn't know about the types of olives and the process of making olive oil both in the present and the past. A bonus was the carriage collection that the owner had - it was amazing to see and we got to pet the horses. We also enjoyed the tasting at the end. Sarah made the tour a fun experience and we really enjoyed it!

We loved our private tour of Seville with Lita! Wow, what a beautiful city with so much to see and so much history. Lita was so informative and we had a great tour with her. We learned so much about Seville and saw so many beautiful sights, history and buildings. It was a wonderful tour!

Wow! Toledo is such an amazing place full of history and cultural and very unique as well. We loved our guide Sonia. She taught us so much about Toledo and the history, art, architecture and so much more there. She knew. how to take the side roads to avoid the busy and more crowded areas and got us right up front for prime views of everything. She knew so much about every aspect of the city and all of its history. She was fun and went out of her way to give us additional suggestions of places to eat and see and even got us a taxi back to the train station. Toledo is a place where I wish we'd been able to stay longer.

Wow! So many beautiful sights, cultural and history in Madrid. Our guide, Javi was great! He was very informative and friendly and took us to some neat places and a few out of the way shops in Old Town that we loved. We really enjoyed this tour!

We loved this tour! It was our first night in Madrid and the perfect introduction. Our guide was fun and very informative, the food and drinks were really good and we had a great group and met some cool people. We really loved this tour!

This was our least favorite hotel. I will start with that it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Again, the pictures are a bit deceiving. It looks light and bright, but in fact the room is very dark and old. Carpet is old, the decor is old. The location was pretty good, but I would've liked to have been in a more modern hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good too.

The pictures of the rooms in this hotel are a bit deceiving. The rooms are not that bright or spacious. They were darker and smaller. The lobby of the hotel is light and bright. The people at the front desk were not very nice and seemed irritated that we were talking to them. However, they did seem friendlier to others, maybe they didn't like that we were American, seemed a bit weird. But everything was clean and everything worked. Breakfast was good. Location was pretty good. I would've liked to stay in a more modern hotel closer to a more interesting part of the city.

We are giving this hotel 5 stars as well. The location was not only beautiful but also walking distance to many restaurants. The rooms were spacious and well kept and the beds were comfortable. We had a balcony with a lovely view of the ocean. The decor was a little old fashioned for my taste. That is just a matter of opinion. We like it to be a little more modern. They have a wonderful spa onsite with a sauna, steam shower and indoor pool. You do not have to pay extra to use these and there isn't a resort fee. That was a very special treat. Once again the breakfast was delicious. We were lucky to have good weather so we could sit outside at the pool. Lastly, we rented a car and parking was a bit difficult. The hotel does not offer parking so you need to park on the street. It is safe, it just takes time to find a spot sometimes.

This was our favorite hotel of the trip. The location was great. The breakfast was delicious. the decor was fun and modern. Bed and linens were comfy and the room had nice space.

Overall this was a good experience. I was hoping to learn a little bit more about the location and the history. That may just be my preference. It also really wasn't a hike. I think it would've been if the people on the tour wanted to or could. But, because they couldn't we didn't hike up. We did walk down from the top, so that was good.

We loved our host Carla. She was fun and bubbly and had lots of information. We loved all the tapas restaurants she took us to.

Maître d at the hotel made us uncomfortable after an experience that we made hotel management aware of. Otherwise, it would have been 5 stars. Beatrice, the sommelier, was a superstar and we really appreciated her!

Kike and all of the staff were great. We will be back.

Tour guide was also awesome for this! It was a fun trip that focused on food and art!

Our tour guide was awesome with lots of knowledge. I would definitely recommend this. Next time we want to stay in Toledo for a few nights!

Victor our tour guide was amazing. In terms of the horseback riding, we are not experienced. Our guide was there that spoke English but no one else did. This was a bit concerning as we were trying to figure out how to ride the horses... But, we managed it! The tour of the vineyard was awesome and Marta, the tour guide at the vineyard was so fun! This was one of our favorite days. Victor was very knowledgeable and made sure we had a wonderful experience.

This is a must for traveling to Madrid. We also met the owner who was very kind to help us arrange transportation following the show.

Thank you so much Rebecca and Robert for the wonderful full day on the WIne and Horseback Tour. Jill and I had so much fun!!! Your personal attention and kindness were over the top. We did a lot of great things during our 2 week trip to Spain, but this day was very special to us and will remember forever. Thanks again!!! Bryan and Jill Turkstra, Ontario, Canada

Our private tour of Madrid, including the Prado Museum, was fantastic. Our guide had a master's in art history, which made the museum visit deeply insightful and enriching. Her expertise on the Prado and the art pieces within was incredible, offering us perspectives and details we would never have caught on our own. It was a wonderful experience.

Visiting the Alhambra was a great experience. Although it was a bit crowded when we went, our guide was knowledgeable and responsive to our questions, making the visit engaging. The sheer detail and beauty of the Alhambra are breathtaking.

The Flamenco Show in the Sacromonte Cave in Granada was beyond incredible. Being in the cave made the experience so authentic, and sitting close enough to nearly be part of the dance added such thrill. It felt like a genuine showcase of flamenco's roots, and I'm glad we chose to see it there as suggested.

The guided visit to Toledo was absolutely lovely. Our guide was a local with a master's in history, sharing detailed cultural narratives that were fascinating. She gave us insights on local traditions, which came to life when we witnessed a procession in Malaga just as she described. Her depth of knowledge made the experience truly memorable.

Location wise this place was 8-10 minutes from the center of Sevilla. Lots of restaurant and stores around the area. Checking in and out was easy. The bedroom area we stayed in was small. It was tight place just for two people. It had a bed, a television and bathroom. It is a good hotel to stay in if you just want to sleep.

ANother great location for us. Best rooms of the trip - our room had a small lounge room.

interesting interior design

located on a square - with an artisan craft market! nice surprise. Terrace on 5th floor was a quiet retreat with a lovely view of Alhambra.

nice location in a nice part of Madrid - right next to a pedestrian street with shopping and tapas bars.

lovely hotel - interesting artwork. .

great location - easy walk to the Guggenheim.

Walking tour of main highlights of Seville, covered a lot of areas.

Market tour took us to a selection of vendors selling traditional products - jamon, cheese, spices. Cooking class was the star of the event!

Private driver took us through a part of Spain that I didn't know much about. Scenery was magnificent - the mountains, the valleys, and the olive groves. Spent a hour in Ronda, and then 2 hours in Grazalema, and then stopped at a lookout in the mountains. Bonus: Blood and Love Festival was in Grazalema - a re-enactment of a historical event from 1832.

Small group tour of Alhambra ( about 12 in group) - guide provided insight and history into the tour that we wouldn't have received if on our own.

Flamenco show in a cave - fabulous! Dancers, singers and a guitarist were all very talented.

Train ride was very pleasant. Our guide met us at the station, grabbed a taxi (eventually) and we went off for a drive around the city before doing a walking tour.

OUr guide, Reza, was exceptionally knowledgeable about the art and the artists in the Prado. He led us on a tour where we saw a sampling of Spanish ( and other) art in the Prado - we went all over the different areas!

Our guide picked us up at our hotel - and led us on a fascinating tour of local vineyards, tossing in bits of history about the vintners, the families, and the grapes used. Also had lunch in a local resto with local food ( and wine!).

Tour was fab - went to about 5 Pinxtos bars in a few different areas - had cidre and wine with a variety of types of pinxtos. So interesting to see the city at night with lots of families playing in the square (it was a Saturday night).

The staff, amenities and views were excellent. We absolutely loved the views and breakfast buffet. The beach was phenomenal!

Joya del Casco is the best hotel we stayed in during our Spain vacation. The accommodations, the staff, and the location are all phenomenal!

Great, easy-to-follow self-guided tour...got to see and interact lwith ocal artisans, crafts and fresh foods. Throughly enjoyed exploring the variety and genuine culture of Savilla.

Wonderful and exciting performance! The museum was small but the gift shop had great items, though overpriced.

One of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona was seeing the genius of Antonio Gaudi.

Jordi was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. The tapas restaurant was very good.

While this is a very impressive building with some excellent steel sculptures, there is not a great selection of artwork.

Alfonso provides a locals guide to his hometown.

Sophia our guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the city and the Prado Museum.
