Met and exceeded my expectations of what a great trip should be.
Turkey

May 21 - May 25, 2025

I cannot express how much of a good time I had in Turkey. Although I did get a bad cold half way through it proved even MORE how great the arrangement with KIMKIM was. My guide and driver took exceptional care of me for which I am so thankful. My guide was so knowledgeable, personable, patient, helpful. I asked his several arcane questions and he had a very good answer ever time. His level of knowledge was as remarkable as his hospitality. In case you cannot gather from my review I had a WONDERFUL TIME. KIMKIM has been EXTRAORDINARY in planning and execution of my Turkey vacation. The profile picture shows my guide: Mr. Yigit, me: Nolan Warner and the driver: Mr. Cumali
Hotel Reviews
If you are in Istanbul to see the major attractions this cannot be beat. My hotel room was very comfortable with a magnificent bathtub that I actually fell asleep in after a long day of being a tourist. And I do not fit most tubs comfortably. The shower was equally wonderful. The beds were huge and very very comfortable. The breakfast and dinner were 2nd to none. The view from the roof restaurant of the Hagia Sofia were spectacular. But the location was epic. I was between the Sultan Mehmet's wall and the Hagia Sophia backside. I was literally around the corner from the area between the Topkapi, Hagia Sofia, and Blue Mosque. and just a short walk to the underground Cistern. Easily one of my best stays anywhere/anytime. The employees were just as helpful and prompt as you would expect from the finest hotels. Excellent experience here.
As with most Hiltons this was a very nice hotel and matched service with accommodations.
