Kimkim Trip Reviews

Our hotel room had the view of the bus depot so it was a little less charming than otherwise had expected. Room was very clean and staff was friendly. Breakfast was not great compared to the other 3 hotels and it was very crowded always. It was a 27 minute walk to the main square which was a bit long after an entire day of walking. We had gone back and forth on where to stay in Venice. Staying on the Grand Canal would have been too expensive I believe?

Loved the chic and boutiquey feel of this hotel. It was super clean and very convenient for walking the city. The breakfast was great and staff were all friendly. The elevator was not always convenient to use (often busy) but we didn't mind walking the stairs.

Very very clean. Room was strange in that it was L shaped and the a/c was in the furthest location from the bedroom so it took a long time to cool down. It was clean, however, and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, too. Location was great!

The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good. The desk staff was business only, not particularly friendly. The location was great!

We had a wonderful guide. There was only ONE other couple of this tour ( possibly due to weather ) which made it more personal.

LOVED LOVED our guide Sebastian. He was fabulous and even took us on the less traveled path to our locations where the scenery and the lack of crowds was greatly appreciated. The wineries were wonderful too.

The guide was wonderful. We were only 2 couples which was fantastic.

This tour was also excellent. Our guide was fabulous and the areas she took us to were well worth it. Sienna was a disappointment as I had been there 26 years ago.. no real crowds then.

This tour was excellent. We had a fabulous guide and the locations she took us to were fabulous.

Again huge crowds at this time of year but our guide helped steer us away from them. He was excellent.

Our guide was great. The crowds were horrific though.

This was cancelled so we had a private driver. It was expensive but excellent.

This hotel is great value, 5 star service and amenities but much lower nightly rate than some other nearby hotels

We didnt know this was the same tour/agency as our Antiparos/boat tours but were so pleased to learn it was the same driver and tour guide! Nicole and Athanassios were great company, very knowledgeable, provided bottles of water, and because we were the only ones on the tour, took a stop to find some fun snacks and dropped us off at their recommendation for lunch, rather than returning to our hotel!

This was such a great tour - our guide, Nicole, was so knowledgeable and it was great to have the driver so we could see so much more of the island in a short time

Amazing view & location! Our room was so pretty.

Great location & lovely staff!

Beautiful hotel, room was nice

Amazing desert experience. Rooms are much more luxurious than I expected in the desert. Food was delicious and staff very friendly

Great half day with local guide Hanna - she shared personal experiences that enriched our tour

Beautiful landmark. A little crowded

Another long drive - but walking in the Gorge made it all worth it,

ATV in the dunes was a blast. Guides were fun and safe. Highly recommend!!

Our local guide was excellent- he really gave us an in depth look at the Nomadic life

Long drive but our driver/guide Samir made stops at various sights in this beautiful landscape

Our guide Shareif was great. Spent a full day showing all of the sites in Fes. Tastes foods on the street, shopping - lots of fun

We had an amazing time during this ATV tour. The views of the Sahara were absolutely breathtaking! The guides were super entertaining and the rides were so fun!!

We had an amazing day exploring Marakesh with our guide Hennah. She was extremely knowledgeable and open to sharing about her personal journey to becoming a tour guide. We highly recommend her.

Our guide, Shariff, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting and fun. Fez is a magical city.

Location is just min walk to tourist attractions, right by the pier. Room is clean. Service is excellent. Nice roof top bar for chilling.

Clean and modern. Quiet even though facing the street.

Location is conveniently located with min walk to Roma terminal. It is also walkable to tourists attractions, shopping, eateries etc. City bus tour just round the corner. Nostalgia Room is spacious but lots of mosquitoes (think season not right in between Summer to Autumn). Elevator takes forever.

Great little cabins in a perfect location for exploring the islands. Check- in was easy. The views were awesome. Would highly recommend. Only suggestion would be paper towels in the kitchen.

This wasn't skip a line. I want a refund. A complete scam, I should have just used the Paris transit.

This is a swimmers paradise with 3 pools and the beach. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was unbeatable and we chose to walk the beach at night to the various restaurants on the beach adjoining the property. The front desk was exceptional and helped us print boarding passes and change money. There’s a small 7-11 store across the street for room snacks as well as a pharmacy which I needed . Thai massage is a by the pool too. We only spent 2 nights so it was perfect for our needs, if you’re looking for nightlife , you may want something closer to town. Beautiful views and clean property.

We only had one night here but surprisingly for an airport location, this was a classy hotel . We didn’t have much time here but what we experienced was excellent. We had a great dinner and drinks in the hotel restaurant and the room was quiet and clean and had all we needed. The airport shuttle was a big bonus and they ran on time and we arrived in plenty of time for our flights. Highly recommended it , especially if you’re flying out the next day .

Good location for walking to shop and many restaurants in the area. The employees were friendly and professional and we loved the pool on the roof too. A comfortable stay with no problems .

Highly recommend. Monika with Best of Switzerland Tours was amazing!

Very nice staff. Very clean. Great Location and excellent breakfast

This was cancelled the day before our arrival by tour company. We would have had to pay double to proceed with similar tour

Great location and gorgeous hotel. Beautifully restored. Excellent restaurant in the hotel which was especially appreciated when it was raining heavily the night that we arrived.

Centrally located and beautiful hotel. Room was small but well appointed and comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great location and beautiful hotel. Wonderful breakfast and very helpful staff.

Supprisingly nice hotel that at one time must have been a grand chateau. The rooms were odd but added to the character of the place. Right in the middle of center city Bordeaux. Pleasant staff. Good breakfast. Tons of restaurants and bars filled with people that enjoyed the area as much as we did.

I loved Marseille I loved the action around the Harbor area and especially the wonderful seafood restaurants. Our tour guide was terrific. Made us feel at home and comfortable with the city. Shared not only the facts of the area but also his personal experiences in Marseille

This small hotel is off of a Piazza that sets up an open air market each day and there are restaurants and shopping there, also. It is down a narrow cobblestone alley/walkway. I know if you are from the US, you may have a little trepidation about these narrow alleyways but this is the norm in Rome. There are shop fronts along these along with service entrances. These are also dimly lit at night, but we never felt unsafe. Many people walk along these routes. Be aware that the taxi would not come down the narrow street and left us off on the main street and then we had to pull our suitcases down to the hotel. Our private driver when we left the hotel managed to get closer to the hotel, but he still had to pull our luggage down the narrow street. The hotel is convenient to a lot of shops and eateries.

Lovely small hotel. Two entrances with one having an elevator so you don’t have to lug your suitcases up a lot of stairs! Clean and the room we occupied had a shower that could fit 10 people! 🤣 The hotel is extremely convenient and but a few steps away from the street that has all the restaurants and shopping but is very quiet. It’s about a 3 min. walk to the jetties where you catch the ferries to Isle of Capri, Positano, Sorrento, etc. for day trips. There’s a small beach to dip your toes into the Mediterranean. Also, they have a laundry service that is quick and reasonable.

Lovely little hotel. Not that hard to find, but you need to keep an eye out for its entrance which is off the street and down a little alleyway. It has a security gate with a code. Room is small but serviceable. Only issue we had was the beds sit on a wooden platform and you can easily wack yourself in the shins! Our room had a lovely private courtyard. The hotel is very close to a water taxi stop which is very convenient.The breakfast is very good.

The Hotel Pendini is located just off the Piazza della Repubblica and close to many sites. It’s a lovely old hotel with a lot of atmosphere and decorated with antiques. The breakfast is outstanding, and the front desk staff very helpful. The room was small which is pretty standard in Europe, but the bathroom was roomy. Even though our room faced a busy street, when the windows were shut, it was very quiet.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. We took a private tour and our guide (MP) was amazing. Her knowledge made our walk through the Vatican so rich in understanding the history of the beginnings of Christianity. Her descriptions of the statues, paintings, tapestries and painted maps that lined great halls was outstanding. She reviewed the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel before we went in (since you cannot speak or take photos in the chapel) which was so informative so we were not only able to admire the glorious masterpieces but understand the symbology behind them. St. Peter’s Basilica is beyond description. Nothing can prepare you for it’s splendor.

The lines to get into the Vatican are extremely looooong if you are just winging it. Would HIGHLY recommend getting a skip the line ticket, even if you don’t do a tour.

One of the highlights. The photos you see in the magazines will never give you the full picture of how colossal this ruin is. Our guide was excellent in taking us to the perfect spots and explaining what actually happened there. The Forum so very interesting as well. The views from Palatine Hill were spectacular. The Forum is not to be missed.

It was a fun gelato tasting tour. We got to sample some yummy stuff and then proceeded along taking in the sites. Rome is crowded even when it’s supposedly a little off season. The unfortunate part was that 2025 is a Jubilee year and many of the fountains were covered with scaffolding for spiffing up in anticipation of the Jubilee. The Pantheon is a must see. We saw Trevi Fountain but there was no water in it, so no tossing of the coins. We also walked to the Spanish Steps. There again, extremely crowded. However, that should not deter one from going. It’s still an amazing city to see.

Wow. The Amalfi coast is stunning. The day we went to Capri, the Mediterranean was very choppy, but that didn’t stop us. We took a small tender out to the larger cabin cruiser and then toured the coastline of Amalfi and Positano before heading out to Capri. Capri, like Positano is steep and there is a lot of walking uphill if you want to get away from the beachfront areas. Well worth the climb for the marvelous views.

Truly amazing how close the Tuscan region is to the heart of Florence. The landscape is picturesque and winding. Vineyards are generational and well run.

It was raging cats and dogs, so even though we had skip the line tickets for a specific time, everything was running late. Was it worth the wait and chill? Absolutely!

What a magnificent cathedral. Photos just don’t do it justice.

We saw a glass blowing demonstration and went to the museum. Spectacular glass work. We really loved Burano. In fact, our guided tour allowed for a quick demonstration of the dying art of lace making and the a short period for lunch. We decided to not go back with the tour and spend the rest of the day having a leisurely lunch, shopping and snapping photos of the wonderfully brightly painted houses. Came back on the last ferry of the day.

Venice is a crumbling city of amazing beauty. The canals are its streets and so very different from other cities. It has its own charm like no other. Venice has an amazing water taxi system to get you from point A to point B.

Best experience on trip.

Beautiful setting !Very attentive service !

Just loved the setting here !Tropical feel with tremendous woodwork in the cottages !

Great staff.Liked Kent’s enthusiasm !

A little noisy at night.Good location ,good breakfast brunch .

Nice new modern hotel with ideal location across from the beach !

The Floating Market was an incredible experience. I absolutely loved it. It felt like being on a floating island. The hustle and bustle of the market were exciting and unique.

This was the highlight of my adventure !!!Mr. Sophea provided expert knowledge of the complex !!Its hard to comprehend the level of man and animal power to build these structures !

Ms. Thuy was my guide.She was friendly and informative.

The room was so modern and beautiful and had a large patio overlooking the other islands and caldera. The hotel/rooms were built on the side of the cliff so there were many steps. The pool had a beautiful view and there was a bar where you could also order lunch type meals. Food/drinks were great and Chris, the bartender, provided excellent service. Breakfast was also included and very good.

Our room had a patio overlooking the beach and Mediterranean Sea. Room was very clean and fresh. Ate breakfast (included) outside everyday right on the beach and by the water. Food was delicious.

Immaculate room with balcony. Very comfortable, felt like home. Included a delicious breakfast. Rooftop bar and restaurant with views of the Parthenon. Had one of the best meals of my trip at this restaurant.

a lot of steps but worth it. tour guide was very informative and fun. Enjoyed the Acropolis Museum and all the stories about the Gods and Goddesses.
