We did not have a lot of time in Portugal. Having Kimkim maximize our time was perfect. The two tours and guides were phenomenal! They took care of everything from transport to hotel to tours. Selections of tour companies were top notch!

Hotel Reviews
Jardim da Batalha Boutique Hotel by Shiadu
Porto

The hotel was well placed and the room comfortable. There is really good breakfast and all day coffee/tea. The AC in the room was not working properly so it was quite warm. Aside from that it was a good choice.

Authenticity & Character
All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The garden was very cute. We spent some time in the library and the basement dining area because our room was very warm. Comfortable spaces to hang out in.

Everyone was incredibly friendly, making sure we have what we need.

Activity Review
Douro Valley Day Trip with Wine Tastings & River Cruise
Douro Valley Day Trip with Wine Tastings & River Cruise
Porto

This was one of our favorite trips. The guide was so knowledgeable about wine, the area and the history. There was one other couple and they were delightful. The boat ride up the river was a nice break from driving and the operator was a hoot! One place we stopped at the young lady touring us had just bottled her own wine. While we did not get to taste it, it was fun to see her excitement.

Quality of Experience
Top notch! Enjoyed all the people we met from the tour guide to the people sharing their wine and food.
Food
Regional offerings we delicious! We left satisfied and full!
Guides, Drivers and Staff
Everyoneโ€™s so friendly. They have a lot to be proud of in the industry.
Transport
The guide was a steady stream of information while driving, pointing out interesting spots with a healthy dose of history.
