First time in Rome experience
Italy
|
Oct 6 - Oct 10, 2025
Our group of 4 had never been to Rome before and the kimkim team put us in an excellent well positioned hotel, suggested and booked all encompassing tours and worked with us to fine tune our time in Rome. It was a very pleasant and easy way to introduce ourselves to a city we have always wanted to visit.
Hotel Review
Excellent location, we were able to walk to almost all the major areas. Comfortable rooms and extremely helpful and friendly staff. Lots of restaurants right outside their doors and even more less than a 5 minute walk away. This was a great choice for our group.
Activity Reviews
Julia was a great guide, knowledgeable of the area and fun to chat with. We experienced several delightful food choices and were introduced to different types of establishments from a pastry shop to street food stalls to sit down restaurant. Excellent experience. I do wish the tour was closer to our hotel, so we could revisit, but getting away from the tourist hustle and bustle made for a more relaxed time.
Alex was a very personable and knowledgeable guide for a panoramic tour of the sights around the city. He asked what areas we had already seen and found different and interesting places to show us. We took some really beautiful photos from some of the great vantage points around the old city.
Sec was extremely knowledgeable about the Vatican. However his manner is more of a college professor than a tour guide, aloof and stern. It was a fairly large group and at times he seemed irritated. That said, his knowledge was incredible and we were shown a lot the area with a lot of detail in a very short time.
Great overview of the areas, our guide was personable and knowledgeable.
