Kimkim Trip Reviews

It is a lovely cave hotel at the topmost part of Cappodacia. Our room was beautifully appointed and surprisingly very comfortable. Cool in the heat and warm at night. Plenty of lights as there are no windows. The only negative was the deep steps, as its an ancient site, the steps were difficult for us as older people to handle going up and down to get to our room.

Wonderful location, ease of access via walking to the historical areas of Istanbul. Breakfast spread so much variety and delicious

The Blue Mosque is a beautiful building. I kept staring at it. I have so many pictures of this mosque during the daytime and nighttime. Hagia Sophia has an interesting history we learned from our guide, Zekiye, also the Hippodrome, the scupltures in the area and some buildings have an interesting history. We also visited a carpet store and learned how they made rugs. Fascinating too.

Amazing view and food and the people are nice

The hotel was nice , but the chairs by the pool were broken

I only gave this 4 stars, because it lacked the authenticity and charm of the previous two hotels. Its a nice hotel for modern standards.

Met the owned and had a great conversation. It was like staying at an old friends home. The hotel had a historic feel yet clean and comfortable. Location was the best for the area, set next a iconic tourist attraction famous in the region.

Was a great location. Every day we would walk to our tours. The hotel was very responsive of our needs. Rooms were spacious and bright. Close to small stores for obtaining needed supplies, mostly water.

Ive only seen the prep and presentation like this in the movies, 5 stars. It was the perfect setting and experience to the end of our trip.

Loved the history of the potters family. I enjoyed again the interaction the people.

So much ancient history in this region. Wonderful learning experience.

Ever enjoyable.

I loved it. The chef hosted this in her home and she allowed me in the kitchen I tell you this because my wife won't. Again eat way to much. We really appreciated Schbnem he guide and Mustuf getting enjoy this a well. It felt like family having a Sunday dinner where everyone is involved.

I learned that what i knew about this was completly wrong. Thank God for Schbnem and her knowledge. I feel more informed with a better understanding.

I've been in a hot air balloon before, but what made it great was how they dipped into the valley at tree top level. As I was video taping it reminded me of drone footage, but personal. The ballon operator was great.

I bought a picture over 20 years previous to this trip. Spent 3 hours in this little shop talking with the owner and he explained the whirling Dirvish to me and getting to experience live brought that time speaking with the shopkeeper back to life. Truly enjoyed the experience.

I kept finding the history every unique and flashing to the American southwest Indian trips and how they used the valleys for protection and building their communities. Same security concept, but different way to leverage the land and building materials.

It was amazing that you you could see the continents of Asia and Europe in the straight. The appreciation of the boat trip was delightfull.

Was kind of disappointed in the grand blizzar, felt more like a shopping mall. However; once in a shop, the people made the experience enjoyable and authentic.

The food was everything I remember from my previous trips to other parts of Turky. I love the food!!

Very enlightening. I found the guides information very helpful. It helped me gather details that were lacking from my own research. It also provided ensight to the important this region played in world history.

The location of this hotel could not have been any better! It was a short walk to Diocletian's palace, and also, there is a laundromat within a three minute walk! The hotel is super comfortable, the staff are delightful and helpful, the breakfast was delicious. It is a very inviting place!

Out of all of the places we stayed, I think the zrinka house was my favorite! Barbara is one of the most delightful people I have ever met! She is so kind and we had a great time visiting with her. She is also a fabulous cook who doesn't let you leave her house without a sack of goodies! The house is absolutely gorgeous, so many details make it so beautiful yet very personal.

We absolutely loved this hotel.It is a refurbished bishop's palace. It is gorgeous! The location is perfect, the staff are welcoming, and the breakfast is delicious. We loved the secret garden.We went out each night and sat on the patio. It was so relaxing. You are a short walk from the beaches and the Riverwalk.

We were so lucky to have stayed in this tourist farm. The owner is delightful and is a wonderful cook! She also did our laundry! The location is up in the mountains and it is absolutely stunning. The rooms are comfortable, clean and fairly large.

Another fabulous hotel in a perfect location! It's a very short walk to the square fill of fights anc restaurants. The staff are so welcoming, the breakfast is delicious, and the rooms are comfortable. What more could you want?

We loved the old world vibe of this hotel! i felt like I should be sharing a cocktail with F. Scott Fitzgerald.! The location is perfect! very close to so many sites and restaurants. The staff are terrific, the breakfast is amazing, the rooms are super clean and comfortable.

The hotel was in walking distance to all the major sites and beach! So cool

Great hotel! Breakfast was great and the staff was helpful. Rooms were nice and AC worked great.

Love the tour and tour guide - Taka!

Great tour! Loved the pace, the food and Jun was great - helpful, great English, accommodating and thoughtful.

The tour guide, Sophia Kim, was amazing! I can't recommend this tour more!!! She is full of knowledge, very accommodating and just a delight! I would not hesitate to book with her again! This tour was the highlight of my son's trip!

It was canceled due to fog.

Wow, think we had one of the best views in the hotel overlooking the Acropolis

Absolutely loved this hotel, beautifully decorated. Our room was a really lovely size with lots of storage and a balcony overlooking the harbour and pool.

We loved it here, totally my vibe. Not too far away from the Acropolis. Staff were lovely too

What a great tour guide, took us to exactly where we wanted to go and didn’t give us a time limit when we stopped at locations. He also gave us the choice of where we wanted to stop at the beach giving us lots of options of where to go.

Great hosts. Offered drinks and snacks through out our time on board. The lunch that was made for us was amazing.

Elena was the perfect tour guide, such a lovely human being and so knowledgeable about the history of Greece. We really enjoyed our time with Elena.

The hotel was great. The breakfast needs to be improved. Customer service was great. The shower was leaking and they resolved it immediately. They also recommended places to eat.

This was an amazing exhilarating ride! We had a high quality UTV which took us to gorgeous views and didn’t see another soul for the whole 4 hour trip. Our guide Micah was terrific.

Loved it. Great location

Hotel was great. Beautiful space. They were delayed on check in. A bit far from things

Very clean, loved the room, a bit far from things though

Loved this space, the traditional style, and location. Breakfast wasn't my favorite.

We got sent to the wrong location. the guide was rushed. He didn't seem that interested.

Loved it. However, our guide could have been a bit better.

It was good. However, it felt like it was lacking and a bit quick.

We loved this tour guide. It rained all day, but it didn't affect our day. She pushed through and so did we.

What an amazing couple. We felt welcomed and stayed after to chat. They recommended some great places/.

Masa listened and gave us the best experience. He was patient and we enjoyed the day with him

We had the best food and the guide was informative.

Had the best time with Lisa. Got to feel what it was like to be a local. She was super fun. The tour was tailored for us.

Driver was awesome. He was punctual and it was a smooth drive.

The hotel is on a a very touristy street and can be noisy at night with everyone out eating etc.

Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff.

 We misunderstood the day. We thought that the driver was the guide, and we would leave the hotel in the morning makes the stops and then head back to Paris. After we toured, we then went back and hour to the hotel to be picked up by a driver to drive to Paris. It was a long drive to Paris due to traffic. Once we read your description of the day, we realized we were wrong. It was a long day with lots of driving.  The Calvados distillery we were supposed to go to was not open. Gwen found a place for us to taste 2 spirits. We did not walk through any orchards.  Cheese Tasting – We were supposed to go to a cheese tasting and see how the cheese was manufactured. That was also closed. Gwen quickly pivoted and found a place for us to sit down for a cheese and cider tasting. This was a great lunch with cheeses, meats and cider.  Honfleur – we were on our own walking through the town because Gwen could not find a place to park. We had 45 minutes to walk around Honfleur.  Since this was a Sunday we should have planned something different to do since many things were closed.

Amazing structure and history.

Wish we had spent 2 days at the D-Day beaches. We only had time for the American beaches.

Driver was on time and very nice.

Beautiful gardens. We arrived right before our entrance time so we did not have to wait long.

Fun evening!

 Architecture & Art Nouveau tour – Solene was our weakest guide and our weakest tour. We spent a fair amount of time sitting getting a drink at the French brasserie. The group had to be divided in half to walk around and see the mosaics. We went to the Galeries of Lafayette and Printemps and that is where the tour ended. We had to make it to the roof top ourselves for the view of the city. We did not go to the Art Nouveau-inspired bank. I assume this is because getting drinks took so much time.

Laure was a good tour guide. Our stops were:  Jams and Jelly Store  Olive oil and Balsamic vinegar store  Picked up pastries for later  Corner restaurant where we sat on stools outside. We could order 10 dishes to share.  Cheese tasting was in the basement of a cheese shop. We had red and white wine, but it wasn’t a wine tasting.

It was great to have a ticket for the top of the Eiffel Tower.

It was very hot and they only put the canopy over one side of the sitting area so there was no place to get out of the sun.

This place is so stylish and modern—very nice! It has a great little bar to unwind. If you’re traveling with a larger group, it’s a good idea to book the same type of rooms so they can be put next to each other. The whole property is broken up into a few different buildings. Some only having 4 rooms. We had a standard room and one with a bit more flair, but they were in different buildings. With kids needing to split up, that was a bit of a challenge. However, the hotel staff were incredibly helpful and found the best solution for us. I’d definitely choose to stay here again.

We all felt right at home here! The rooms are designed with singles and couples in mind, much like a hostel, but it was perfect for our short stay. We had our own space in the building, which was just what we needed. Plus, there was a playground for the kids and horses to see right on the property. The place was spotless and well-kept. They do offer a small breakfast, but it’s enough to keep you going until lunch. If you need groceries or restaurants, you’re about a 15-20 minute drive from the main town.

We had an amazing time staying here! The farmhouse was perfect for all six of us. The restaurant served some of the best food we’ve ever tasted in Iceland. The kids absolutely loved the little playground with the bouncy inflatable. And the thermo spa was a real treat. The farmhouse had everything we needed for a long stay, and we wish we could have stayed longer.

This apartment was a lovely one block from Reykjavik’s main street. Finding it took a few turns, as GPS can be a bit off. Plus, it’s on a one-way street, so if you miss it, you’ll have to loop around. There’s parking, but it can be a bit cramped, especially if you have a larger vehicle like we did. A smaller car would work just fine. The apartment had quite a few stairs, which is okay if you’re staying for a few nights. However, carrying big, heavy suitcases up the stairs for just one night can be a bit of a hassle. There’s plenty of room for the six of us. I definitely recommend it for a longer stay in Reykjavik, but it might not be the best choice for a quick visit.

This was a decent experience. It’s a larger boat, which means more people crowding the rails to grab a glimpse, but that’s okay, used to those types of tours. However, because it’s bigger, the boat can’t get too close to the shore to see the puffins. You really need binoculars to get a good look. They are very small. Little white dots on the shore line. The boat does provide binoculars, but there is a limited supply. Unless you’re a serious bird watcher and enthusiast, I’d probably pass on this tour. It's Iceland, so many other things to see. The boat was clean, and the crew members were friendly and knowledgeable.
