Kimkim Trip Reviews

They are in the middle of new ownership and they need to finish their construction before I would recommend. The grounds are great though!

This is more like a B&B, but that is what's charming about it. Very clean and well maintained. The food is great, and an excellent value! We ate all but one of our meals there.

Nice float and our raft guide was excellent.

It was fun and we'd do it again with a different trail(s). We could have done without the "back 40" mud drive, it was not very big and not that interesting. Once in the mountains, the views were amazing, but not much of a chance to enjoy (eg slow down, pull over, etc. It was more about the ride than the scenery.

Fantastic experience, the nature reserve has well maintained paths and structures.

Great guide, very patient and upbeat.

We can't review because our Serendipity manager was not very attentive, he seemed disengaged and not too effective at his job.

The easy entry and overall efficiencies getting to and entering the La Sagrada Familia were great. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The tour of the other Gaudi locations could have been shorter. We tried to end the tour early--we were tired-- but it didn't seem to be an option.

The location was beautiful, information interesting. Unfortunately, the guide was a distraction. She said she was a trained Opera singer and preceded to sing at inappropriate times. She also had exaggerated gestures and was a bit over the top, really. When we'd try to cut sections short, she was insistent that we had to follow her lead. Our driver on the other hand was wonderful. Excellent, safe driver.

For all of us, this was a superb location to visit. Just what we needed. The tour guide Veronica?-- was the best! Mature, knowledgeable, entertaining. Perfect fit --History teacher--for our interests.

Beautiful setting, interesting tour. Eating lunch here was my idea but it wasn't as special as I hoped. The lunch at the vineyard on the way to Leon was much better and felt authentic.

The exterior of the museum is the reason to visit. We were disappointed in the exhibits.

Theresa was enthralled with the whole experience. So this rating is for her.

We skipped this tour. We only toured the church which was great for Theresa.

We only toured the palace. Guide was fine but again we were finished before she was.

We loved the Tuk-Tuk tour! Perhaps because we were finally off our feet. Seriously, the tuk-tuk and guide were perfect. Entertaining, efficient, and the tour was just the right length. Great combination.

It wasn't overly clear where the "Adults" pool was located but heard it was worth it! Unfortunately, we missed out. I would take an extra day or two here to just chill instead of spending the extra days we did in Buenos Aires. This tranquil. luxury property located in the heart of the rainforest is a must-see and spend the extra time just taking it all in.

Beautiful property but located a fair distance from town if walking and super expensive and we had to check our bill repeatedly as we were charged for a bottle of wine as opposed to a glass and the orders were messed up all the time on bills! The property itself is stunning. Would most likely stay in town at another property if I were to return.

Had a wonderful and quick stop at this quaint boutique hotel. The staff were AMAZING. Gave great recommendations for food places to go and it was in a great location.

Everyone was easy to talk to and seek assistance. I love the ambiance, the aesthetic, and the location of the hotel.

The hotel was absolutely spectacular! From the view of Chefchaouen, to the amenities', as well as the service were amazing.

The hotel's aesthetic is absolutely stunning and authentic while the service is friendly and accommodating. I loved the breakfasts served. Thank you.

The experience was amazing! The facilities were clean and comfortable to think that we were in the middle of the desert. We enjoyed the ambiance as well as the program after dinner. Thank you.

The hotel was an oasis after a long travel. Thank you.

We enjoyed the scenery and the assistance provided by the assigned guides.

The hammam was a bit disorganized and felt the place was not equip to handle all six of us in the group. Only 5 of us were given beds immediately after the hammam. Although this was later rectified, I was already almost dry before I was given a bed (I replaced one of my companions and did not know were she was taken after accommodating me). The massage was great. The masseuse did a good job at relaxing my muscles. Sadly, when we were about to leave, the hammam and massage place lost my companion's personal slippers. She had to borrow their lent slippers as we went back to our Riyad. Later, her personal slippers were returned but were still wet.

New and modern accommodations, a nice breakfast, and a friendly, helpful staff. The hotel was a little off the beaten path, but we were able to walk to the center of town, though getting an Uber was often more convenient. The location on the water was nice!

The hotel is certainly pricey, but its location in the park was well worth the money. We could walk out the front door and immediately start trekking. It was also a warm and welcoming place to rest after a long day of adventures! Our reservation was "half-board," and the breakfasts and dinners were exceptional. Every staff member we encountered went out of their way to be helpful.

Seeing penguins up close was amazing! Although all visitors to the island are required to stay on the paved path, we never felt herded or rushed. The walk was self-paced, and a number of guides were spread out during the walk to answer questions and give more information.

This trip was disappointing. Our tour was for just the four of us, but the small SUV we rode in required that one of us sit up front with the driver, while the other three sat in the back, with someone in the middle seat. Not ideal for looking out the windows, which was a big part of this driving tour. Two of us were native Spanish speakers with good English, and two of us were native English speakers who know a little Spanish. Our guide was fluent in Spanish, but his English was definitely not fluent. The result was that he spent 90% of the time conversing with the Chileans, and much less time talking with the English speakers. It was frustrating when we had questions. That being said, we visited some beautiful parts of the park, places we never would have seen if we had been driving on our own.

The route was amazing and so was Pedro, our guide!

Full disclosure: The day we took this tour could not have been wetter. It poured rain the whole time, and everyone on the boat was soaking wet before we were finished. It limited the views of this incredibly scenic place. The windows were steamed up, and most people never went out on the decks because it was raining so hard.

We were greeted warmly as we arrived to the hotel and this was nice as we were definitely tired from the long flights from the states. Wonderful breakfast the following morning!

A wonderful small boutique hotel with a nice view from our hotel room. The front desk lady ( I don't remember her name though) was very helpful. She provided me with a package of throat lozenges and hot tea as I was feeling the affects of our long travel day to Croatia! She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome to Zadar!

The Hotel Ambassador was truly our favorite hotel. The service was wonderful! And the view from our hotel room was amazing!! We had a wonderful balcony looking out at the Sea where we were able to enjoy a drink with the beautiful view!! Niksa ( a server at breakfast) helped to make our mornings wonderful as we enjoyed the delicious breakfast! The special breakfast items that could be ordered ( not on the buffet) were delicious!

We loved the small and quaint island of Korcula, but the Aminess Korcula Heritage Hotel is very tired and needs to be renovated! The rooms are extremely small and the bathroom shower is way too small! I would suggest guests are not booked at this hotel until the renovation can be completed!

Beautiful hotel with wonderful views from our hotel room as well as the Cave Bar! We actually enjoyed not staying in the walled city - It was only a 10 minute Uber ride from our hotel to the walled city. We went to the walled city to walk the walls as well as for dinner one evening when we were in Dubrovnik. The hotel is confusing though to navigate the floors for the hotel rooms, breakfast, etc. It took us a couple days before we understood the layout of the hotel!

We definitely recommend touring the Plitvice Lakes Park - absolutely beautiful!! We really enjoyed having a private guide - Ivana (our tour guide) was very knowledgeable and helped to make our experience so enjoyable. She was able to show us areas and give us information on the park that would have been difficult if we didn't have a guide!

We loved this experience! The staff at the Ante Sladic Winery made our experience very special! We were able to meet the wine makers ( Ante and his grandfather, Yure). We even were able to take photos with both of them! Simon did a wonderful job of guiding us through the wines he was serving with the homemade lunch!

We had a morning walking tour of Split with a private guide, Mirna, She was very knowledgeable as we walked through the Diocletian Palace ( lots of great information about the history of the Palace and the Roman Emperor Diocletian) and the downtown area of Split. She was also able to give us suggestions of other areas of Split we could tour later in the afternoon ( the Marjan Park with beautiful views of Split).

Our day on the island of Hvar was one of our favorite days! Grgo, our tour guide met us when we got off the catamaran boat ( coming from Split). We had a wonderful day as he drove us around the island visiting many of the small villages and learning about the history of the island of Hvar. We ended our day enjoying a lunch at the Matkovic Winery ( Grgo's family winery) with a homemade lunch made by his mom and enjoying the wines. We did not spend anytime in the town of Hvar. As Grgo suggested, it was more enjoyable to see the more remote areas of the island!

We had a couple hour tour with a private guide (Ivana) in the walled city in Dubrovnik. It was important to have the tour to learn more about the history of the walled city. So when we returned to walk the walls, we had a better understanding of the history of the city and its amazing walls!!

We really enjoyed our morning time by ourselves on the quaint island of Korcula! In the afternoon, we met our guide, Damir at our hotel and he drove us to the Lumbarda area for a personal winery tasting at a local winery. Since we travelled in late Oct to Croatia, many of the wineries were closed for the season. We enjoyed the small winery tasting and tour but it was our understanding that we would be touring a couple wineries with a pasta dinner at one of them ( that was what was stated on our Trip App). After we visited the one winery, Damir drove us back to Korcula and we had dinner with him. We would have preferred enjoying dinner by ourselves since the 2nd winery was not an option.

Super fun to be able to go Kayaking in the Sea! We enjoyed our guide, Mislav. He was full of great information and very funny!! During our kayak trip, we stopped at an old island of Vrnik ( with an old limestone quarry). Super cool to see that and learn more about the history of the area!

Montenegro was spectacular!! We were so happy that we scheduled a day tour to see the country!! Our guide, Mirjana was wonderful. She was so very knowledgeable -we toured both Perast and Kotor! The small boat trip from Perast to see the "Our Lady of the Rocks" old church was wonderful! After touring Kotor, we had a choice to have lunch in the town of Kotor or take the cable car to the Forza restaurant at the top. We were so happy that we chose taking the cable car and we loved the beautiful views and the lunch from the top!!

The cooking class and experience in Konavle at the Kameni Dvori family estate was a wonderful way to spend our last evening in Croatia!! The guides and family members (Nike and Katarina) made the experience of helping to cook our dinner so much fun ( we made homemade bread and pasta)! And we had lots of laughs with the 2 other guests that we met! We even walked through the family farm to pick vegetables and fruits for our dinner!

This is a great place. It is beautiful and the service is unsurpassed.

This is a Hilton Garden Inn. They are the same all over the world, we could have been in Omaha. Service is an afterthought. The food is mediocre. The target market is large tour groups.

The hotel is beautiful, the service exemplary, and the food delicious. Be sure to book the pool for a private hour-long swim. Book the other spa services early. The location is perfect. Step outside into the old blue town. There's a view out over the city.

Ambiance was great. Nice hotel!

Great location, design, breakfast. Excellent customer service

Very beautiful hotel with great breakfast options

Very informative and interesting tour where you het to know Vietnamese culture and history

What a beautiful place! Must visit for great pictures

Wow, we had such a great time during this tour. Very beautiful scenery around, easy hike, amazing lunch spot which we absolutely loved!

Absolute must do while in Sapa! Very interesting and beautiful place! Go early in the morning for the best views without clouds

This was my favorite day in Vietnam! I didn't want it to end and would happily repeat this trip again! Such a lovely, beautiful place. Very friendly people. Delicious food

Older hotel - a bit hard to find due to the tower comples

lovely place, enjoyed to public bath (after we gathered a little courage)

Classy well appointed and nice accommodations close to everything . The only thing I didn’t like was the shower. An old bath tub jacuzzi set up that you had to step high to get into. Not a good barrier for water spraying out either. Many Americans don’t bathe we shower. Otherwise great in location , views, hospitality service.

First we were so lucky to have great weather. sunny and temps in the 70s everyday. You can’t plan that. I am a history buff and I love Ancient Rome . Our guide Mariapaola was amazing. Every sight was a wonderful journey into the past . She was so informative and interesting . I can’t imagine anyone nicer or better to have as a tour guide

My favorite of the trip. This is right in my wheelhouse. I love ancient Roman history and this typifies it for me. Mariapaola is a superb tour guide. Love touring and viewing the forum and colosseum . It’s the best

Room a bit small but the location was perfect. Great view of the Scramble. The Breakfast Buffet was fabulous!

Great location

A real treat

A very convenient location

Loved the personal hot bath.

Sumo demonstration was fun. Sumo wrestlers were great with the crowd. The sushi leaders were charming, but not sure I would recommend. l

nice to have guide... we would have been lost otherwise.

One of my favorite moments

Well done, something I would never do at home. They were crowded.

It was nice to go to areas that we would not have ventured on our own.

great guide

A lot of walking, but saw a lot!

Housekeeping was poor

Different kind of rain forest !!

One of the best theatres in the world.

Worth the full day trip.

Very relaxing and good food.

A sprecial place to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday.

Nice hotel in a great location across the street from Copacabana beach.

Better than we hoped ! The lodge is several hours from Manaus so we really felt like we were in the Amazon. Our rooms were very nice and meals were terrific. We especially enjoyed all of the local fish. Our guide did a great job of explaining everything we saw.

Hotel is located close to the bus terminal, but a short walk to the city center (15-20 minutes). Friendly staff, very accommodating, great breakfast buffet. Rooms are slightly smaller than other hotels. We had to leave at 4:15 in the morning, and they had packed a breakfast to go for us. Enjoyed our stay there!

Amazing location, right off the city center square. Friendly staff, wonderful room. There are multiple hotels with a name close to this, and it is connected to another hotel, so we had some confusion as to exactly which hotel we were supposed to be at. Parking is under the hotels, and very, very tight. Lovely breakfast. Dinner was available, but we did not eat here.

Super cute boutique hotel a block from the sea. Parking is off site, but they will come and pick you up with a golf cart. Located on the peninsula, it is very close to many restaurants and coffee spots. Nice breakfast in the morning. We also had a lovely dinner there in the evening. Stayed there as a jumping off spots to many areas in the region. We were there in October, so the experience might be different in the summer, but it was a quiet, lovely place to stay.

We did not stay in the main hotel, but the house next to it. Room was fine. Nice breakfast in the morning, with a restaurant attached. They have a pool, but the weather was cool and it was closed. It looked very nice.

Beautiful Hotel, right in the heart of the old town of Zadar. Walking distance to all the sights in the area and lots of restaurants. Wonderful breakfast, Michelin restaurant at the hotel.

Cute hotel located in Skradin. Easy walking to everything in Skradin including the marina. No air conditioning, but large windows that opened and a balcony to sit on. End of season, so staff was a bit skeleton, but still kin and helpful.

Located about a ten minute walk into the main area of Split. It was nice to be slightly away from the busy city center. Large deck to sit on, large room with sofa and large bathroom. Parking is difficult if you have a car. tight area to get to (like all the big cities). Suit cases needed to be carried up a flight of stairs from the parking area. Lovely breakfast, with a few items sitting out, but a made to order (the day before) breakfast. I appreciated the desire to not waste food.

Beautiful view of the Adriatic sea. Large deck to sit on and watch the sunset. Multiple restaurants on site, with an interesting Cave bar. Access to swim in the sea and two pools. Walking distance to other restaurants. 10 minute walk to the bus stop, and about a 15-20 minute bus ride into Dubrovnik.

Picked up from the airport, and had someone waiting for us. He was friendly and full of information about the area.

Easy drive through the countryside, which in itself was beautiful and interesting.

Our guide was informative and fun to talk to. He answered questions we had, and it was clear he loves his city! It was a great experience!

Caves are beyond description. They have developed a great method to move a lot of people through the caves efficiently while still giving you an amazing experience!

Driver picked us up and made sure the bikes fit us both properly. Mine was slightly too large and we popped back over to the shop for the right size. Ebikes were new and fun to ride! Great instruction on where to go and how to follow the trail. He mentioned which towns it would be worth riding into and seeing , and which to skip. Great experience!

Rovinj is a beautiful, romantic city. Toured a church, walked the narrow alleys and explored the city. Lots of cafes to have a coffee and people watch. There are boat tours to take and many restaurants. Swimming available in warmer weather. Had a cocktail beside the sea at Mediterraneo. Pula has an wonderous Roman amphitheater that is amazing to see, along with other numerous roman structures and sites to see, all within a short walk. Had a delicious three course meal at Backyard.

Truffle hunting was a fun experience. It was very muddy and they provided boots to slog through the mud. We walked around an area for about an hour. The dog found one truffle and quickly tried to eat it! We still got to see and smell it. The wet weather and time of year made for the less likelihood of finding truffles. Truffle tasting after was a unique experience as they served truffles many different ways. We did sort of get truffled out.

just commenting briefly on Porec, its a lovely seaside community, I loved being there in the shoulder season when the tourist numbers are low, but be aware that because of this, a number of restaurants were closed or closing for the season. We still thought there were plenty to choose from and enjoyed the less hectic time to visit. Same with day trips on boats, many were having their last trips or were done.

What can you say about Croatia's oldest and largest national parks? The pictures do not do it justice, it truly is a sight to behold. We spent about 4-5 hours, walking and hiking the various trails, and there was beauty throughout the park.

Took the boat over to Krka National Park. The boat ride itself was enjoyable and about 1/2 an hour. You can stay as long as you want, and the boats return every hour? I can't remember for sure. Hiked up the various tiers of the falls to see the water from different levels. We were on the first boat out, so the park was not crowded when we got there. There is food and drink available.

We met the instructors just outside the green market. As we walked through the market, they purchased some items that would be part of the meal and described the process of how vendors come to market etc. Also went to the fish market and spoke to us about the fisherman and they purchased fresh fish. We walked to the culinary school and the instructor also talked about Split while we walked. Four of us helped cook an entire meal, from cleaning the fish (yikes) to the desert. We made risotto, bread, sides, appetizers. It was a wonderful experience.

Interesting walking tour of Split, learned a lot about the area. Not quite as detailed as other guides, but still always interesting to learn!

The fortress is interesting and had amazing views! Brought swimsuits, but did not go in the water. Walked along the sea trail. We did not take the side tour as suggested, but wish we had, as we had a bit too much time on our hands before our catamaran back to Split. The water is beautiful and again, sitting in the square having a coffee was very fun.

The highlight of this was probably Klis and seeing the castle/fortress. GOT fans will recognize many aspects of this. But the walk and listening tour of this site was perfect.

Great guide, she was incredibly informative and fun to listen to. Learning the history and seeing the Mayor just added to the beauty of this city!

Very interesting drive in the Bosnia area (with two very cool stops along the way). Mostar itself is smaller with a feeling like Turkey with numerous mosques to view and visit. The old bridge is the highlight of the visit. We had lunch over looking the bridge. It's very interesting to see the difference of how Croatia has recovered post war and how Bosnia has had a much slower recovery.

Bruno did an amazing job of walking us through the city of Zagreb. He's a wealth of information and shared it in interesting and entertaining ways. Always catering to our interests and questions.
