Kimkim Trip Reviews

This hotel is located right in the historic center, just two blocks away from the cathedral and the national palace. Lots of great places to eat nearby. Staff was great, and we enjoyed the choices available in the breakfast buffet.

Beautiful hotel with great service and breakfast. We really liked the environment and staff here. Location was just off the historic center, so it was easy to walk everywhere. We always felt safe and comfortable while staying here.

Teotihuacan was such an incredible place to visit. The pyramids are so impressive to see in person. We were able to climb up the moon pyramid and see a spectacular view of the rest of the ruins. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area’s history and made the tour a fantastic experience.

We were able to learn a lot about Mexico City and its history. Our guide, Garuda, was fantastic to talk to and had a lot to show us. Mexico City has so much rich history, and we saw so much more of the historic center than we expected.

We specially requested this stop as it wasn’t part of the original itinerary but wanted to see it as we were going to be in the area. The zoo isn’t particularly impressive, but we went to see the stone monuments on the display there. It was incredible to see how many ancient pieces were on display.

The Palenque Archeological Site was incredible to see in person. There is so much to see, and the pyramids are nothing like we expected. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the location and its history. We also requested the tour into the jungle, and he was able to provide it. We learned a lot about the nature surrounding the site, and were now to see ruins still partially hidden by the jungle.

Photos we saw online don’t do these locations justice. Seeing the waterfalls in person was incredible and words can’t describe how beautiful they are. It was very hot and humid at these locations, but it was worth it to experience in person.

The excursion to Sumidero Canyon was fantastic and was 2 hours full of information about the canyon we saw nd its local flora and fauna. We saw some very unexpected fauna during the boat tour, and our guide was able to point out things we weren’t able to see at first. We received some very heavy rain immediately after the boat tour, but it stopped shortly after and we were able to explore Chiapa de Corzo after.

The walking tour was great and our guide gave excellent explanations for every stop. We even learned about the local amber production which weren’t expecting. Overall a great tour that went by too fast. There was so much to see! We learned about local handicrafts, the local churches md their history, and much more.

Monte Alban was an incredible place to visit with so much rich history. Our guide walked us through the ruins and provided lots of information about the location. We spent a good while walking around and exploring the ruins, learning about the different buildings and places he carvings that are still visible. The alebrijes workshop was very fun, and we were able to meet the master artisan there and learn about his experiences and his father who was the one who taught him.

This was a very busy day with lots of locations to visit. Hierve el Agua was a very beautiful location, and Mitla was fascinating to explore. We also learned quite a bit about the natural dye process in Teotitlán, and the mezcal making process. We ended our day with a mezcal tasting that was much more fun than we expected!

We really enjoyed this part of our trip. We met several master artisans and were able to speak to them about their work and experiences. We also got to tour some workshops to learn more about their process in creating certain handicrafts. And of course we were able to purchase some at these locations. We made sure to come back with lots of mementos from this part of our trip.

There was so much tasty food to try! We toured through Oaxaca trying different food, such as memelas, tetelas, and tlayudas to name a few. Our guide explained the history and the importance of all the markets we visited. We learned a lot and had a great time.

Horrible transfer company

Not a black cab at all, it was silver taxi and no AC in the heat. TERRIBLE

My wife had the “Best massage of my life”. The food at the onsite restaurant was nothing short of incredible. Special thanks to Mailyn for her outstanding service and kindness. The rooms, pools, and restaurant look out over the forest reserve and the Pacific Ocean - not better views anywhere in my opinion. While the roads getting to this place were pretty rough, once you’re there, the place is absolutely awesome. A true hidden gem with wonderful food!

WOW! A resort in the middle of the Cloud Forest in Costs Rica? Yep. If you skipped Monteverde on your trip to CR, you absolutely missed out. Incredible staff, with a special thanks to Eric - he made us feel like we made a new friend - SOYTICO Brother! 😂 - you too Dennis and Paulina, a true pleasure. Rooms were clean and gorgeous, and the bed was amazing as well. Having a front porch that opens into the Cloud Forest was the coolest thing.

Unreal - a spacious, gorgeous, room with an in room hot tub facing Arenal Volcano? YES PLEASE. Incredible, kind staff (thank you ALL - and Christian in particular). Add an amazing set of hot springs and pools right in the resort. My wife and I both HIGHLY recommend this AMAZING place.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and updated. Rooms are a bit small but not out of line for large city accommodations. Breakfast was a little lacking with the food on the buffet not being restocked while we were eating. We had to store our luggage upon early arrival and they had to store it out in the lobby behind the bar. Nothing was missing but it provided a bit of concern.

A very lovely and charming bed and breakfast just outside of Caen, France. The owners were friendly and pleasant. The breakfast was simple with breads, pasteries, homemade yogurt and jams, and fruit (some grown on the property). Though over 300 years old, the rooms clean and well furnished with spacious and updated bathrooms. Note that this property does not have air conditioning and the room we stayed in did not have any windows that could be opened. The temperature during our stay was not unbearable so this was not an issue; however, it could be during higher temperatures.

Great location just north of Boulevard Champs Elysees. Clean room with nice ammenities. The staff was friendly, but was not responsive to issues after we checked in. The room was hot when we arrived late in the evening and it took a while for the air conditioning to be turned on in our room. Each room had a fan, but ours was not working. After bringing this to the attention of the front desk and being promised to have it looked at, we never heard from them. The room eventually cooled down sometime after midnight.

Great location within 5 minute walk of 2 tube stations which allow you access to major attractions. Hotel was clean and roomy for a large city hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly. The breakfast was very good providing a traditional English breakfast buffet.

We used this company 3 times during our stay in Paris and each time they communicated with us prior to arrival, at arrival, and got us to our location with no issues. From our hotel to the airport, the driver was early and got us there on time. The driver was helpful, courteous, and friendly.

We had never been on a private tour before and after this experience we will consider these more in the future! Our driver and guide Paul picked us up at our hotel and drove us out to the Palace. On the way he provided the history and background we needed to better understand what we were going to see. He answered questions and provided pleasant conversation during the entire trip. Once there, he managed us into the gardens and palace without any delays or waiting in line. He allowed us to take pictures and ask questions while moving us through and keeping us on schedule. He had a wealth of knowledge about the subject and again provided us with information we would not be able to get if we had toured on our own.

Wasn't sure what to expect when we arrived but was pleasantly surprised. Led by a graduate student, we received a ton of information about the area and the university that we would have never been able to get on our own. Excellent guide who made the trip enjoyable.

This was a very pleasant surprise of our trip. We had initially planned to remove this, but changed our minds and glad we did. The cruise started down the Thames with the first course of our meal and live music to entertain us. When we reached the turn around point, we were fed our main course and dessert which was excellent! The gentlemen provided entertainment following the meal. The setup of the boat was great. The views travelling back as the sun set and the lights of the city illuminated, were fabulous.

If you are into WWII history this is a must see! Our guide was imformative and knowledgeable. He presented the a lot of information while walking us from the meeting point to the actual museum. Many of the items are as they were when the war ended, and the rooms were abandoned.

Great way to see the sights without needing additional transportation. Easy to hop on and off. We did this on our first day after travelling overnight. It helped us get our bearings and see areas that were not on our itinerary later in our stay. We were delayed with heavy traffic.

Delienne's experience having worked in the royal household was amazing. She knew where to stand and position us before the bulk of the crowds did which gave us a perfect viewing opportunity for the whole experience. Her insider stories were fascinating.

Our family enjoyed the tour with the Yeoman Warders and visiting the crown jewels. Not sure if were were supposed to have a personalized tour, but it worked out fine in the end.

Christopher arrived early to pick us up and after navigating thick London traffic had us promptly on our way to Stonehenge. We stopped at Woodhenge first to get an understanding of the archeological age of the henge as well as begin thinking about skills and knowledge neolithic Brits had to possess to begin building these structures. Christopher's knowledge of Stonehenge and the surrounding areas, as well as his ability to avoid some of the heavy traffic around the site made the visit easy and informative. After a quick bite, we headed on our way to Windsor. I truly wish we had more time here. The royals were in residence and we did catch a glimpse of the king while touring the castle. The town of Windor and Eton are easily worthy of a full day to explore and shop. Photos inside the castle grounds are not allowed.

Driver gave us a thoroughly personalized tour. He knew my teen daughter loved music so places that influence Taylor Swift, Oasis, Beatles and more were highlighted much to her amazement. We got photos of our family crossing Abbey Road. The stop at St. Bart's hospital and church were meaningful as we not only visited the spot of William Wallace's execution (and current shrine in his honor), the incense-laden chapel happened to have a small trio of musicians practicing with hymns echoing about this ancient shrine. Our tour concluded at the Black Dog Pub for a Sunday roast and the echoes of Taylor in my daughters head. A++

The drive in was fun and not too long, the gear was suitable, and the tour was interesting, engaging and beautiful! Our guide Jon was entertaining and helpful, and his instructions were clear for safety , gear, etc.

touring Hvar with Grgo - who’s family goes back hundreds of years to the first recorded resodents on the island - was a highlight. He took is to his family home and winery, and into a 350 year old rock wine cave where we had a tasting. It was fascinating to see a part of Hvar and hear stories that you would never see or hear in the main cities.

Great location. Rooms were small but nice.

People were wonderful. But no air conditioning! And right outside our window was a carnival !!!! Even though they closed 10:00 and having to keep our windows open, it was very loud with screaming! Beds were very hard. But very clean

Very please. Close to everything. Wonderful restaurant and bar !! Great food !!

Beyond beautiful! Property and gulf corse are breathtaking. Wonderful food and the nicest people. The rooms were definitely 5 stars plus. Beds were amazing!! 1st class all the way.

Beautiful hotel . Off the beaten path But wonderful hotel to retreat too

Not as much food as I expected

This was the best !!!!! So memorable

Guide was excellent We enjoyed an over view of city

Amerikalinjen was fantastic for our stay in Oslo. Its perfect location just across from the train station was such a convenience, making it easy for us older travelers. The accommodations were comfortable and the breakfast was excellent, providing a wonderful start to each day.

Scandic Nidelven in Trondheim offered an incredible breakfast experience. It was over the top with a wide variety of delicious options that were more than we could ever consume. The accommodations were superb.

Vangsgaarden Gjestgiveri in Aurland was a simple yet charming hotel in the countryside. Although the breakfast was not as elaborate as other places, it was perfectly fine and suited the beautiful rural setting. The area was absolutely stunning.

The Trondheim Walking Tour was fantastic. Having a private guide made it easy to ask any questions we had and engage deeply with the city's rich history and culture. The guide's expertise made our walk both informative and enjoyable.

Exploring Oslo with a local expert was an enriching experience. We had the guide to ourselves, which allowed for a personal and engaging conversation. The guide was knowledgeable and shared insights about the city that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

Great location, wonderful staff!

Absolutely beautiful and worth a visit!

Our guide was great! We enjoyed the tour and I highly recommend since going alone won’t give you enough background and history to understand where you are and what you are seeing.

Our car was waiting for us and driver was very nice

Excellent location; beautiful rooms. The breakfast buffet was over the top!

Excellent!! A way to get a real taste of Finnish culture. Matti and his colleague (can't remember his name) were very knowledgeable, and lots of fun! An experience I will never forget!!

The hike was great; only for people who could handle steep up and down hills. The guide, Quentin was amazing.

Wow!! All nine of us loaded onto a wooden boat, and we were escorted about 30 minutes up the river to a forest location where we enjoyed a nature hike, stories around the fire, and amazing fire-cooked salmon. A wonderful experience with nature. Saw the midnight sun and beautiful scenery.

Both guides, Kaita and the guide on Suomenlinna were extremely knowledgable.

Sami, our captain and Rufus, his first mate were excellent. He provided great information, and was very entertaining. The scenery and experience was first-rate. A once in a lifetime experience.

Very little fish on the breakfast buffet. This is a seafood town. Skip the balcony and save the money. Bed was a little hard, pillows were a little too soft, room was small. Balcony was very small. Only apps available on the TV were Netflix and YouTube.

Everything was great. Aldo was a great driver. Angela was very animated and did a lot of singing as well as good information.

KimKim did not give us any information about the boat, which was small and extremely choppy and hard to endure. Blue grotto was a complete rip off not worth the experience. Do not recommend. Long waits unless you tip on top of the very expensive price Three minute experience and very crowded.

Pompeii was great. Antonio was a good driver but had a problem with the guide at the end. Because she wouldn’t take a credit card, I didn’t have euros yet so got ripped off at the ATM. Then needed change and nobody would accommodate. Suggest offer a connection to a guide that takes credit for future clients.

It was very clean and neat. The beds were comfortable and not in an awkward position. The staff was friendly and the breakfast quite good. The elevator was a little small, but this hotel was a little small as well, so it is understandable. I very much so enjoyed my stay here.
