Kimkim Trip Reviews

Lovely old building in the center of Bergen. Large and modern rooms. Excellent restaurant.

Fast and modern boat. Great view the whole way. I’d recommend taking a jacket if you want to sit outside on the boat. Even on a warm day it’s cool in the breeze.

We were lucky enough to be the only folks on the tour the afternoon we did it. The guide let us take as slow or as fast as we wanted to and was very knowledgeable about the fjord and answered all my kids questions!

It’s only an hour round trip from Flåm if you walk at a decent pace. The uphill piece is no joke with 697 steps to the viewing point but worth the effort.

This guest house is centrally located in Gyeonju, and so walkable to all the historic locations we wanted to see. It was also the best breakfast we had in South Korea!

This is a wonderful little place near both ICON bali mall and the beaches. It's got lots of nearby shopping and cafes, and only 30 minutes walk from sanur cat cafe! It's comfortable, clean, and has a great pool for relaxation. They also have balinese traditional dance performances on Monday nights!

It's a great little getaway that's budget friendly and within walking distance of restaraunts and a couple beaches. The pool is a great feature and rooms are spacious and clean.

It's a unique place located near city center of Ubud, but it doesn't feel like you're in a city due to being surrounded by lush greenery. The rooms are in balinese style with modern amenities. The restaraunt and pool are also perfect for relaxation.

It's a beautiful place with cozy cabins, kind staff, and great food! It's perfect for a quiet getaway in the mountains if you like relaxing places with farms and hiking. The owner chichi is so kind too!

It's a great place perfect for quiet and relaxation. The service, food, and locations were perfect for my interests and my budget, and it's a great spot if you want somewhere that's not as busy as Ubud. The staff are all so nice and welcoming! And they have a dog and cat on the grounds that both like to say hi to people!

Great experience whether you are single or in a group, and great for any age. The whole process is very streamlined and coordinated. We were given a tour of the local market to start with, before going to the guides' family home and learning about the culture and foods. A lot of the staff do the prep work, so if you're looking for something intensive, this may not be for you. But we got to use traditional methods and were given tips on how to select products for quality and freshness. We made at least 8 different dishes. It was so much fun learning the methods for cooking balinese dishes. Staff were professional, friendly, and helpful! The meal was delicious, and we were given a cookbook with all of the recipes we made!

The canoe and trek were amazing! Mu guide shared lots of stories and we discussed environmental issues. The canoe trip gave plenty of time to take photos and see the wildlife and water temple, and my guide shared a lot of interesting information about the local plants. We even got to eat some cinnamon bark right from the tree! Lunch was delicious and the hike wasn't too difficult (even if you're like me and have asthma and are out of shape lol).

Fantastic guide who shared stories about the local area, his family and village, and helped with taking pictures! He came prepared with bugs spray and water too!

The portions at the restaurant were so small and so pricy. Plus the food selection was much too fancy for us so we did uber eats the second day for lunch and dinner and that was perfect.

The view of the river from the 50th floor was amazing!! I didn’t want to leave!

The guides were great. Wish we had more time to sit and swim at the end though. Most of our tour group was staying in the water as long as possible and we were ushered out to pack up and go. I get they had to keep us moving with lots of groups going at once but wish we had more time in the water.

The staff were absolutely wonderful. The pool and poolside bar were beautiful, with excellent service throughout. While it’s a short walk to the community beach, reserving loungers with umbrellas in town was incredibly easy and very reasonably priced. We loved the beach—plus, the views were simply outstanding.

The location was absolutely beautiful—and thanks to the KimKim team, we were truly beachfront! We stepped right out onto the patio and there was the beach, just steps away. Securing beach lounges was easy, and the staff were incredibly hospitable and responsive to every request. We felt like royalty the entire stay. Ask ChatGPT

The hotel pool was a bit smaller than expected—especially since we ended up using it more often due to the heatwave—but the service and hospitality from the staff more than made up for it. They were absolutely amazing!

This was definitely a family favorite. Our tour guide, Vesolli (apologies if I’m misspelling his name), was outstanding. He made the drive to the beach both entertaining and educational, while still allowing us some downtime to simply enjoy the ride. We’re so grateful for the front-row reserved umbrellas and chairs—they were a premium experience and an absolute must. As soon as we arrived at the beach, our chairs were waiting for us! The drive to the private restaurant in the small local village—featured in National Geographic for its unique historical architecture and preservation—was incredible. It quickly became one of our family’s favorite stops. The small tour group allowed for personal attention while also giving us the chance to meet another family and share the day. The guide even happily accommodated a small last-minute request to stop at a honey farm, which was another highlight. The tour guide from Chania Adventures was absolutely key to making this day such a memorable success.

Our family always includes a cooking experience in our vacations, and the KimKim team absolutely nailed it with this one. The family farm, the kitchen setup, the delicious food, and the take-home recipes were all incredible. What really set this apart was that we actually got to do the cooking ourselves—something many tours don’t allow. It felt like a truly authentic Greek culinary experience, and one we’ll never forget.

Our guide was fantastic—so knowledgeable and engaging. From start to finish, we were treated like royalty. Transportation was seamless: we were dropped off right at the entrance, met by someone who personally escorted us to our guide, and after the tour, walked back to our driver. KimKim removed all the typical travel hassles—we never once had to search or wonder where to go. Everything was perfectly coordinated.

Staff and Crew hospitality outstanding. Food on the boat was terrific. The size with the other families was great, not too crowded. Everything we were promised was provided!

Very good tour guide, and she provided us a full VIP experience. The fact it was just our family made it superior to anything else we saw. We were so grateful, we spent a small amount more to provide this one/one experience.

Amazing resort with fantastic views. Great pool, both indoor and outdoor. Easy to access the promenade to walk to downtown Cascais. Great service. Very luxurious.

received a suite for our family. Amazing size! A little bit on the outskirts of the main city area, but certainly walkable to downtown Porto.

Amazing hotel. Super posh and great location. Does require a short Uber ride to get to the cultural areas, but otherwise, great location for shopping and simply walking around. Would stay here again

Very scenic and relaxing. The cool breezes with beautiful landscapes made it magical!

Amazing gourmet lunch. Delicious food. Excellent vegetarian options. Huge portion sizes. Left super full!

The landscapes here are absolutely breathtaking! The drive into the Duoro valley was excellent. Our driver, Ricardo, was an absolute gem and navigated the difficult roads beautifully. Not only did we learn a ton about the area’s history and culture, but the drive was also super entertaining and insightful. The boat tour was incredible! It was so calm and peaceful, and we got to see the wineries from a whole new perspective. The lunch at the winery was also amazing - it was an experience like no other. We left super full and satisfied, and I can’t wait to come back!

Great tour with Sara. Really learned about the history of Porto and saw the city. Was a great experience!

Our tour guide, Margarita, was incredible! She totally customized the tour for our 6 and 10-year-olds, keeping them super engaged. The adults had a blast too, learning all about the sights, culture, and history of Lisbon. We even tried Ginjinha and Santini’s ice cream - it was delicious! This tour truly gave us an in-depth look into Lisbon’s rich history.

Our driver Henrique was an absolute gem! We had an incredible tour of the area, and Henrique took us on a stroll through the charming downtown Sintra. He shared his insider knowledge, telling us what was worth seeing and doing, and what wasn’t. We truly immersed ourselves in Sintra’s rich history and stunning sites, and Henrique made it an unforgettable experience. Thanks a bunch for making our trip so amazing!

Staff were professional and very accommodating!

Awesome boat and trip package! Staff were very accommodating, fun and professional!

Staff was professional and very accommodating!

Chef was fun and interactive! We are food enthusiasts. She enjoyed our questions and gave us tips to further enjoy preparing their local cuisine at home.

This was a 5 star hotel, elegant but not bougie. We had breakfast included, awesome buffet.

Not having a restaurant sucked but over excellent but also not having a nice sandy beach, but the pool area made up for it.

Awesome location and European look and feel. Large room and tropical grounds.

Villa Vicuña Hotel Boutique in Salta was our favorite accommodation. It was a charming, small colonial-style hotel, beautifully decorated, and the ambiance was just lovely. Despite some noise that bothered my friend in a room at the front, we stayed in a quieter room at the back, and it was perfect.

La Reserva Virgin Lodge de Selva looked amazing from the pictures, but the reality was quite different. The room we were given was old and not clean, unlike the new rooms shown on the website. Although the service was prompt when I raised the issue, it was late at night and not convenient to switch rooms. The staff was friendly, but the initial mismatch in expectations was disappointing.

The Scenic Drive to Cafayate was extraordinary, thanks to our guide Juan, who was both our tour guide and driver. He created a wonderful video of our journey, complete with stops and pictures along the way, which was a unique and memorable touch. The drive itself was beautiful, and his attention to detail made it a standout experience.

We stayed in their newer apartments. It offered plenty of room for a family of 5. The kitchen made it easy to have breakfast in the unit before heading out for activities. It was close to a lot of restaurants and a short 10min walk to the waterfront. My only complaint is their tiny garage under the apartments. It was VERY difficult to maneuver a minivan into the parking spot especially when more cars were there.

In a great location that’s convenient to activities and food. Very comfortable for a family of 5. The kitchen and living room made the unit very spacious. Our room had a washer/dryer combo that was nice except the dryer didn’t really work. The hotel did offer 2 washers & dryers on the grounds for free which was helpful.

Nice hotel. Rooms were clean and modern looking. We were able to fit a family of 5 in 2 rooms with beds for everyone. It was in a convenient location.

The boat ride was nice across the lake. The dinner was delicious and there was plenty of food. Even the kids found food to enjoy and eat. The show was very entertaining. It was a nice break from high energy activities.

Absolutely scary but absolutely breathtaking at the same time. The staff were all friendly and supportive.

We did the Arrowtown trail. We weren’t sure what to expect but the trail was very easy to follow. The path was a little muddy but that’s to be expected with the weather. We used E-bikes but the trail we did would have been easily done with a regular trail bike. I would love to return and do more rides. It was great that there was a dedicated bike trail and we were only on (quiet) local roads for a short time.

Amazing. We saw the Milky Way and numerous constellations. Our younger teens were bored but my husband and I loved it. It’s something I would do again. It was a cold night when we did it and the staff at the observatory had extra jackets for everyone to wear.

My kids loved this place. The tubing was a lot of fun. A school trip was there on the day we visited but the staff changed our tubing time to avoid the big group. The staff on the ice rink were very helpful. The staff at the tubing hill gave us different suggestions for tubing to make it more fun. And the hot pools were so nice after skating and tubing.

We did the 3 hour trek. Hannah was a great guide and the horses were very well trained. The scenery was amazing. For someone who has never been on a horse the 1 hour river trek would have been more than enough. We also went up into the mountains and while the views were amazing I was petrified! One of my kids panicked and Hannah was very patient and helped lead her horse until her husband could pick my daughter up. One of my daughters, who is a horse lover, was in heaven with the trek.

The food was really good and was a unique activity. It was dark when we did the tour so it might be something better to do in the spring and summer so you can get a better feel for Christchurch. Our kids were a little bored and not a huge fan of the food but my husband and I enjoyed it.

Our ride was clean and just what we needed. Our original flight had been cancelled but when I called and let the travel company know we were assured our driver would still meet us. James was there with a sign and was very helpful with history of Christchurch and things we should see.

Super quaint hotel out in the middle of a field, but still lovely accommodations!

Beautiful hotel, friendly and helpful staff and well situated within the downtown area -

stayed in the apartments - nice to have a little kitchen to ourselves :)

We love this hotel!! We would recommend it to anyone wanting something charming, beautiful and well staffed.

Central but not directly on a busy street so quieter - breakfast buffet is super yummy and the rooftop pool and bar is a wonderful perk!! Staff are very accommodating and helpful!

So nice that this was a private tour - we could ask all the questions and have time to make the experience our own -

Beautiful scenery, yummy wines, and the opportunity to meet fun people - If you get at all carsick, be ready to bring whatever you need to feel better - fast driving and windy mountain roads....

Wonderful quaint mini suite in the heart of Cusco! Walkable and close to everything

Most comfortable bed, great central location, no air conditioning if there in July it was Hot(30). If open windows loud motor cycles zooming past . Apart from that outstanding

It was a dream come true ! Had the 3 bedroom cabin right on the water. Incredible views of midnight sun lighting over harbour and jagged cliffs . Didn’t want to leave. Bring your own shampoo/soap etc it’s like glamping with the best view on the planet! People speak enough English to get by.. easy if self driving

One of top 2 hotel/accommodation of the 2 week trip !! Go stay here!!!!!! Gorgeous hotel, loved it . Right beside water. Central to shops and via ferrata

Had inside cabins with bunk beds .. rooms were well thought out even though very small . Dinner was excellent We only stayed on overnight so didn’t get full experience. Hot tub was nice but only 1 of 2 working when onboard.

Loved being so central to trains but without downtown noises if window open .

Loved the older charm of the place, great spot away from crowds. Authentic food . Only negative is 2 floors and no elevator if have mobility issues

Great central location, sorry we didn’t have a second night there to take full advantage.

My Husband, 18 and 20 yr old did it and loved it. Zipline is fast but you are in a seated harness - fun going over the valley. Did bike down after

Gorgeous train route . Valleys/waterfalls rushing streams

Do Not miss this. Well worth every penny. Incredible day out on the water so many waterfalls. Great views all Ali g not just 7 sisters falls.

So easy to get to and simply stunning views. Our 18-20 yr old kids loved it too.
