Susan and I have had a wonderful time exploring Granada, Ronda, Seville and Cordoba, thanks to Martha's professional planning and organising of our trip.
Which place was our favourite? That is very difficult to say, as all four places held something special and are a 'must see'.
We loved the choice of hotels which were all in the perfect location for getting about to see all the sights. We took on some of your recommendations for where to eat which was very helpful.
The guided tours and guides were highly professional and knowledgeable. Without them, we wouldn't have come away from the trip with all the interesting information we received and I don't think a guide book can compete with having a very knowledgeable local guide. If I have to say something, we missed having a guided tour in Cordoba.
The tour taking us through the scented areas of Granada was so special and different and we love the scents we were given at the end - what a surprise!
Many thanks to Marta and Karenina who were there throughout our trip supporting us.
I would definitely recommend KimKim and travel with them again.
With all best wishes,
Gillian Mitchell

Hotel Reviews
Sacristia de Santa Ana
Seville

A converted church with lovely features and atmosphere. We had a patio off our roo which was a real bonus. Breakfast was the best of all hotels as it wasn't your usual breakfast buffet.

Hotel Comfort Dauro 2
Granada

Good, clean place that covers the basics but the lack of regular receptionists was confusing. However, the bar people were super helpful, as was the general manager, who provided us with a picnic because we had to miss breakfast one day!

I loved this tour. It was different and our guide was excellent and we were presented with a box of different scents.

So much fun and our cookery teacher Rocio was so knowledgable about local produce and where to eat and shop. I will definitely try some of the recipes myself.

Teresa was our guide and she brought the history of the areas of Seville alive. She told and showed us so many little details we would never have found out ourselves. She is highly knowledgeable about her home city.

Cordoba is beautiful, but I think we missed quite a lot as this was a self guided tour, so I would definitely recommend a guided tour.

Hi Gillian, thank you so much for taking the time to post this review and for your feedback which I will make sure to forward to our team of local guides, who were very happy to show you around Andalusia. I will contact the hotel to check about the reception schedules, as they never mentioned they have reduced staff at the moment. I am happy to help with your other adventures in Spain in the future! Best, Marta
