Kimkim Trip Reviews

Very unique, by far my personal favourite. Maybe not for everyone but I found it fantastic.

Very nice, impeccable service, great Morocco cuisine. Only downside is the stairs.

Nice staff, great bed!

Nice hotel, great location!

This place was fun! We got confused finding our room a few times but that added to the charm

We loved our stay here! Dinner in was something to write home about! Several courses and each one a whole new taste experience

This was an experience everyone should do! From the camel ride to our tent/cabin to the campfire singing, the sand boarding and the people. It was phenomenal

The beautiful designs and lovely rooms were awesome. Truly made us feel like we were on an exotic holiday

Dar Jasmine’s unique location made it give the feel of an ultimate holiday spot. Food was incredible and service equally so.

This is definitely something worth doing! You just can’t get this experience every day. I didn’t give 5 stars because our pilot didn’t take us nearly as high as I was expecting and hoping so it was a little underwhelming

We went for a quad ride which was a hoot!

Well we rode the camels into the desert and it was fun having our guide sing!

Visiting such an old Medina was a real eye opener. Very interesting

Staff and breakfast were great. Room was just verryyyyy small.

My favorite thing we did on this trip! They were kid friendly and the tour guide was amazing!

The guide was okay - a bit stern. Was able to see some of the city

This was a pleasant hotel in the center of everything. All staff was so helpful and friendly. It is a typical city hotel. Not recommended if you want a historic, authentic experience.

We will definitely return! Staff was so friendly! Our accommodations were so luxurious!

This activity was a highlight of our trip to Sicily. What an extraordinary lesson in vulcanology, natural habitats, the history of people who live alongside it, micro climates and more. Our guide was a natural teacher. We were glad that he encouraged our enthusiasm to learn more. And the hike was a welcome physical activity that not only put us at the center of several craters but the effort was rewarded with extraordinary views. We were only slightly disappointed later when we realized we didn’t visit the reported extinct lava cave. The wine tasting, with views of the grape vines that were days from being harvested, was a pleasure. We couldn’t resist buying some wine to take home.

The stroll through Taormina was delightful but what made this extra special were the suggestions our driver made to visit Castelmora for lunch, Isola Bella and Naxos. A beautiful day though I wish we had time to spend at the beach

This was a marvel. To think that it was so casually discovered and over time how much was unearthed. The mosaics were an artistic achievement and what a miracle that so much of it remains to this day.

Wow! What a history lesson. We left this tour with such an appreciation of the unique ancient history of Sicily, and a greater understanding of how central Sicily was to the various civilizations that invaded/populated it. Our guide was clearly a student of ancient history and archaeology. His enthusiasm was contagious.

We arrived in Sicily with the intention to explore Sicilian wines. The tour itself of the facility was interesting but in the end, we didn’t see much. It was a quiet day. But the tasting expanded our knowledge of the wine producer. We will be shopping this wine.

This activity was a feast for the senses: the flavors, sounds, colors, aromas were all combined to create an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Salvo, also delivered knowledgeable and often humorous commentary about the history of daily life through food. This is a must-do activity for anyone visiting Palermo.

I wish the guide should have taken us to an area where we could see the two towers from a distance so we can take photos and appreciate the architecture. We were immediately taken inside so we could get in line and wait for our turn.

I wish the guide would of explained to us more about the history and significance of the temple. Our time was limited to the general area at the bottom of the steps. I didn't realize that there was more to the site than just the steps and caves. We did not see the surrounding area. We ended up learning more about this site through our driver than the actual guide.

Perfectly located for a late arrival and early departure. Clean, quiet and easy!

Fantastic room! Beautiful view! Great breakfast !

Great pools! Very clean!

Great hotel, great room, location and food

Very rustic from our perspective. Check in process was very disorganized. Dinner was very disorganized, we were forgotten about and waited a VERY long tim for food!

Again, the tour guide was outstanding, very knowledgeable and entertaining.

We very much enjoyed tasting at 3 different wineries. Lunch was delicious and our tour guide Chechi? did a fabulous job keeping us interested and entertained.

Could have used more time in each area to enjoy and investigate this beautiful area.

Katie did an outstanding job explaining the past history up to the present, like an enjoyable history class. :) The undergroud tour was amazing!! Thank you Melanie for making that happen.

Outstanding, it was a wonderful learning experience and lots of fun. Friendly staff and the group number was perfect.

Claudia was a wonderful guide, my anticipation of the Vatican experience was lessened just a bit by the crowds. Rather loud and too many. Maybe less people in the groups

A lovely well appointed Riad.

Dazzling. One of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. A complete joy.

Well organized and comfortable.

Quite pretty. And very well located. An authentic old home in Fes.

While the staff was kind, the place is not a pleasure to stay in. The rooms aren't comfortable. And there were no amenities available. Not even a water glass in the room.

This was one of my favorite places on this whole trip. Such a great setting. And the rooms were wonderful as was the courtyard and roof terrace.

The High Atlas Mountains and the terrain was so beautiful. Thrilling to ride hours through this amazing landscape.

The dunes are exceptionally beautiful. The sky at night is extraordinary.

It's a complicated experience to go into a private home. Especially people who are so hardworking and who live modestly. I'd say don't do this.

Seeing the ceramics and mosaic cooperative was a great experience. Moroccans are so hard working and so very skilled. It was great to see that.

Not interesting to me enough. I've been all over the Mediterranean. I didn't need to see more Roman ruins.

Hanan was a remarkable guide in a great city.

Our stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While it was an understandable price point for a central location like Kensington, the hotel felt a bit too commercial for my liking. They had a quirky subway theme, which included 'mind the gap' decor, but it was a bit much after a day of train travels. Our room was small, and we barely had space to move around. One of the lifts was broken, and although there was another working one, it was a bit of a hassle. Having to deal with many stairs wasn't ideal either, especially when mobility could be a potential issue for some.

Angel's Share Hotel in Edinburgh had a cosmopolitan and edgy feel, which was a fresh change of pace. The aesthetic was distinctly modern, and while it wasn't as warm as some other places, the service was accommodating, with our room ready upon arrival. The overall ambiance was enjoyable although it felt a bit less intimate.

Crown Inn Pooley Bridge was incredibly quiet and cozy, giving us our best night's sleep during the trip. It's a dog-friendly location, which is wonderful for pet lovers, but perhaps not ideal for those with allergies. I appreciated the peaceful setting and the overall comfort of our stay.

Grosvenor Villa was really lovely. It had a charming atmosphere with the host being very personable. The setup was cozy with a piano and fireplace, making it a great communal space. My husband, being a musician, enjoyed playing the piano there. It was a delightful stay, and the breakfast was excellent, featuring delicious food. The hospitality stood out, and the ambiance added to the relaxing experience.

Our visit to Edinburgh Castle was a bit disappointing as we missed our guided tour slot due to unforeseen circumstances. Although we managed to do the audio tour, it felt like a lost opportunity. The site was extremely busy, probably due to a bank holiday, which added to the regret.

The Literary tour of Bath was fantastic, particularly the Jane Austen experience. It was well-written, comprehensive, and beautifully presented. The guides were top-notch, enhancing the entire visit with their depth of knowledge.

The Bath Gin Company Distillery Tour & Tasting Experience was nothing short of amazing. Our guide was remarkable, and it was fascinating to go behind the scenes and witness the inner workings. The quality of their product speaks for itself, and I'm hopeful for their great success. A must-visit for gin enthusiasts!

The Johnnie Walker Tasting Experience was a pleasant surprise for us as casual drinkers. We had an excellent guide, and despite it being her first launch, she did a commendable job. I'd recommend this to whisky lovers and those who are curious alike.

One of our favorite experiences was visiting Lowther Castle. The ruins are off the beaten path, and it was a great recommendation from our guides that truly added a unique touch to our trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the Castle's ambience and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable historical site.

Very nice hotel in Casablanca. We only had one night here and had to get up and leave by 4:30 AM. The staff were helpful and provided us with a boxed breakfast to take with us.

Beautiful hotel right across the street from the beach. Perfectly located. Walking distance to the Medina and the fishing docks. Wonderful sunset from the restaurant on the beach.

This Riad was incredibly beautiful. The rooms were large and fit for royalty. A great place to stay.

This was a beautiful hotel in the small town. The meals by the hotel chef were unmatched. It was a wonderful place to stay.

The 2 hour camel ride to the camp was fantastic. The welcome by all the friendly staff upon arrival was fantastic. We enjoyed the music my the fire and the setting in the desert was amazing.

Beautiful Riad in the Medina. Perfectly located,. Rooms and service were great

Beautiful hotel with the most incredible view of the blue city. It was worth every step we had to take to get up to the hotel. The staff were amazing and helpful with anything we needed.

Our tour of the old Medina with our guide, Hanan, was very informative and interesting. Hanan brought us to parts of the Medina that we never would have found on our own. I found walking through the artisan section the most interesting and fascinating.

A wonderful experience!!

Our guide, Mohammed, was very entertaining. There was a bit of a language barrier as he didn’t speak much English, but that didn’t matter. We loved the beautiful walk through the valley by the monkey fingers and community gardens. Lunch at his home was very nice.

Beautiful drive to the Dades Valley. We enjoyed the walk through the Todra Gorge. Very scenic landscape.

Our guide in the desert, Yusuf, provided us with a great tour and taste of the Berber culture in the desert. We loved the visit in one of the nomad villages.

This was a long day of travel. Ilyace made it a great day by making some great stops - in the beautiful city Ifrane, a stop to feed the macaque monkeys along the way, and our stop to see the Ziz oasis of palm trees. The 2 hour camel ride to our camp was icing on the cake. What a wonderful experience!!!

We loved the experience of sharing a meal in a Moroccan home. And we were so happy that our driver, Ilyace, joined us as well. The food was delicious and the family were so pleasant, accommodating and kind.

This amazing and ancient city was so worth the visit. We were so thankful to explore the old Medina with a guide. We for sure would have been lost in the labyrinth of streets on our own. Learning about the history was very interesting and I’m sure we explored places that we would never have found without a guide.

Our fabulous driver, Ilyace, was there and waiting for us when we arrived off the ferry. He helped us to become familiar with the country and the surroundings as we drove. Chefchaouen was a beautiful town to visit. We loved walking through the streets and seeing all the beautiful blue stairways. Walking up to the Spanish mosque to see the sunset was fabulous as well.

We chose this hotel because a friend had stayed there and we are so glad we upgraded from what we originally booked. This hotel is beautiful and charming. and in a great location. We stayed in the deluxe room and had a fantastic view of the sea. Definitely walk down to the black beach for the day. Town is only a 30 minute walk or you can take the shuttle. The rooms very very clean, staff was A+++ and the view was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this hotel!

The online pictures do not do this place justice. This hotel was so cute and the service was excellent. It is also in the perfect location and a very safe neighborhood.

The boat tour of the Isle of Capri was a breathtaking experience that offered stunning views and a sense of adventure from start to finish. We upgraded from a large group to just our group of 6 and I'm glad we did that as it was more personal. Our guide Francesco was great and he shared fascinating insights about Capri’s history and landmarks. The blue grotto was so busy that we decided to skip it but our guide took us to the white cave, the red cave and the love cave. At first I was very sad because the Blue Grotto is on my bucket list but I got to experience the beautiful blue water in the other caves as well. Maybe not as big but I did see it. Along the way, we enjoyed delicious local snacks and sipped on refreshing drinks, soaking in the sun and the beautiful scenery. Francesco made us a lunch reservation at Restaurante La Canzone Del Mare and the view was amazing and the food was delicious. We then took the chair lift up to the top of the mountain, a must do!

The pizza-making class was an absolute delight, filled with laughter and creativity from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our enthusiastic instructors, Anna and Giuseppe who exuded passion for both pizza and Italian culture. We made Tiramisu with Anna and pizza with Giuseppe. The actual place was so nicely decorated. We made the Tiramisu, placed it in the fridge to cool and ate it at the end of the night. We each made a pizza, different kinds and shared each one. The best part was savoring our delicious creations together, sharing stories and laughter over each slice. This fun and interactive class not only taught us valuable culinary skills but also created lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for the art of pizza-making. Anna and Giuseppe had the best personalities, we all felt like we were at a friends house for dinner.

Visiting the Pompeii ruins was an unforgettable experience that transported me back in time. As I walked through the ancient streets, I was struck by the remarkable preservation of the site, which vividly illustrates daily life during the Roman Empire. On a sad note, our tour guide was not the best. He often walked ahead of the group, didn't speak loud enough and often started talking before our entire group got together. At one point he started arguing with a security person because there were so many people cutting in front of us. We told him it was fine but he then said no it's not fine and they need to do something about it. He was more upset then we were. We didn't even know his name. He did seem to know a lot of the history and was very informative but was not in a good mood.

Wow, this was one of the best experiences. A scenic location, quality wines, expert guidance and amazing food! We started out with a tour and then had lunch. I loved how they brought out several small plates. We sat, drank wine, enjoyed the beautiful scenery and they just kept bringing us plate after plate of delicious food. Together, these elements created a memorable and enriching experience that exemplifies what a top-notch winery should offer. I have high standards and this met my expectations 100%

Daniella was the best tour guide. Her English was excellent, she made an effort to talk to our entire group, she also made sure we all stayed together, she brought ponchos for us in case in rained, she had wonderful stories and also gave us a lot of historic facts about Naples and the local food and was so cute and cheerful with little jokes. LOVED her! She seemed to really enjoy her job!

highly recommended

quite nice.

Nice location. Roof bar and breakfast are nice. We stayed in a basement room.

this is an old hotel a 15 min drive from the airport.

Really loved this hotel. It’s a small boutique hotel and the staff is very friendly and kind. Breakfast is very good and nice authentic French food very simple as well. The staff are very friendly and kind and helpful. All of them do you speak English but they’re also patient enough to help with someone trying to speak French. The location is really amazing. It is a short walk from the cathedral at Notre Dame or the Louvre museum. We also walked to the Eiffel Tower from here, which is just under a mile I think. Overall wonderful experience.

It’s located on the ridge between two very different beaches. The old area of Antibes is maybe half of my other way, but it’s a beautiful walk. The staff is very kind and helpful and made all the amenities available essentially at all times. The room we had was clean and neat with a typically strange European set up to the room, but we certainly had everything we needed, and it was a great place to stay!

We really liked this hotel. Kind staff and good breakfast with a great location. Close to town center maybe two blocks away and also very close to the train station which is super convenient.

Little bit far from town, but otherwise a great place to stay. Very basic, but friendly and kind staff.
