We simply had a wonderful time. Major highlights include Ivan's tour of Pompeii and Elisabetta's cooking class, although the other tours and the mosaic class were also very good. It would have been helpful to know in advance which tours were large groups and which were private, but all worked out very well. We would use Kimkim again.
Hotel Reviews
Huge room, charming place, good service. The piazza and balconies offered ways to be outside if the mood struck. I recommend the place.
The room was on the small side, but I didn't spend any time in there, so no problem. Service was great, breakfast buffet was very good.
Activity Reviews
This activity was so-so. Could be a one night thing, but the soloist was not into performing.
Guide was knowledgeable. Peace altar was the most memorable part of the tour. Overall, very good experience.
We had no problem meeting our driver and getting to the hotel.
Beautiful, but we needed a lot more time.
Anna was knowledgeable and fun.
Good experience. She didn't seem to mind that we ran overtime.
The guide was good, but she was hard to keep up with. I felt like she could have stopped to count us more often. Also, a small thing, but her stick was hard to follow--instead of a flag or scarf, she just had a tiny stuffed animal on the end of it and it was hard to see in the crowd.
This is an activity not to be missed. Elisabetta shared produce and olive oil directly from her farm so we could make a delicious, authentic meal. Also, the setting for this class is gorgeous.
Ivan was an exceptionally good guide. He modified where we went based on our interests and answered a whole slew of questions.
