Kimkim Trip Reviews

Our guide Cuong walked us around the old quarter for various dishes, snacks, and drinks. It was pleasant, well-paced, and delicious!

One of our best experiences in Vietnam! Chef Ai and her niece were engaging, pleasant, and skillful. From the market walk to food prep to sharing a meal together, it was a really special and comfortable experience in Chef Ai's home.

Trinh guided us around her hometown of Hue for an amazing night of food. She's a foodie herself so it was fun to chat, ask all sorts of questions about how central Vietnamese food differs from the rest of the country, and to learn about the history of the area at the same time.

This tour is interesting but felt a bit rushed and ultimately very touristy. The cooking experience was actually really well-done and interactive, but the rest of it was not our cup of tea in that it was very touristy. Chef Hai, our guide for the day works hard and was at his best in the kitchen, he made the experience better in every way.

Hoi An is a cute town and seeing it in the morning was a very different (and pleasant) experience compared to the chaos of the evening. Our guide however seemed mostly disinterested and didn't volunteer much info, preferring to walk hastily from place to place and look at his phone while we were eating.

Very comfortable modern hotel. Convenient location.

Very elegant and comfortable. Be aware that this hotel does not accept credit cards.

Luxurious camp, better than many 4 and 5 star hotels.

Room was very spacious, but there are a lot of stairs to climb and my wife fell on a wet floor. Also, be aware that if you wish to eat dinner in the hotel your menu choices must be reserved one day in advance.

Beautiful modern mosque. Joined a large group tour which was informative.

A must with a private guide. Hanan was clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in guiding us through the souk.

Hanan led us through the souk with expertise and calm. We got to sample many delicious foods. Try to save room as we were so full that we had to decline yoghurt at the end of the tour.

Faissel, our driver, was a superb guide throughout this trip but gave us many interesting bits of information on this leg of the journey, especially.

Long drive from Skoura, but well worth it for the desert camp experience.

Once again, a long drive but Faissel did his best to keep it interesting.

Sharif, our guide to the Souk and all of Fes was excellent and made the experience entertaining and informative. It is a lot of walking, but worthwhile.

Visit to the Roman ruins Volubilis is a must on the way to Chefchaouen.

Best breakfasts of my entire trip! They have a great fruit selection and I was blown away by the fresh, ripe, Strawberries served every morning.

The staff helpful, cheerful, and caring. We had fun with them in this lovely boutique hotel. Good English and patience explaining and arranging options for us. Restaurant- quiet, private with a lovely wall garden, the staff accommodating as were the hours. Delicious food moderately priced. Decor: quirky mid - Century modern, roomy , with balcony, space and furniture for sitting, colourful and tasteful. Located in a beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood.

A wonderful experience. Thunder and lightning show our first night that went on for hours. The estuary was magic. Wildlife abundant pointed out to us by a good guide. 2 boat rides a day included. Authentic meals in the lodge. Road in a 4 hour ordeal-very rough. Only negative and explains lack of guests.

During our five-night stay at Tierra de Leyendas in Ushuaia, we had a wonderful time. The lodge had a European chalet-style feel, and the owner, who had European roots, provided top-notch service. The rooms were not very spacious, but the overall ambiance was quiet and pleasant. While the location was slightly inconvenient for getting into town, the delicious food and nice presentation made up for it.

A lovely location like an oasis with two pools to cool off in. Our accommodation was clean and comfortable with veranda. On the whole, the resort seems a bit tired but the hidden gem made up for it in spades. A 5 star restaurant that appeared nightly, 2 kitchens, sushi and Italian, gloriously served by young handsome men in suits and bow ties. All affordable priced. Best steak I’ve ever had!

The journey to the lodge was challenging due to the rough road conditions, the experience was well worth it but I would highly recommend ensuring travelers have a sturdy four-wheel-drive vehicle for the journey.

Seeing all the wilflife and the penguins was one of the highlights of the trip! Highly recommended.

We had an incredible time engaging in various activities. The lodge was situated in a serene location, offering us the chance to immerse ourselves in nature. We went out twice a day on a boat to observe the diverse bird species in the area. The surroundings were peaceful and quiet, providing a perfect setting for bird watching. The lodge itself was lovely, and we enjoyed our meals there. The highlight of our stay was the wildlife we encountered, making it one of the best parts of our trip.

Visiting Iguazu Falls was a breathtaking experience. On the Argentinian side, we had a knowledgeable guide who showed us hidden gems around the waterfalls, such as rare birds and their nests. Despite the intense heat, the day was filled with awe-inspiring sights and experiences. We also took a boat ride under the falls, which added an extra thrill to the adventure. The next day, we explored the falls from the Brazilian side, which offered a different perspective. The walkway extending over the falls was both exhilarating and slightly nerve-wracking. The natural beauty we witnessed was worthwhile. Overall, our visit to Iguazu Falls was a highlight of our trip, and we were glad we visited both sides of the falls.

We really liked that these two boats travel together. We liked being on a smaller boat for this trip. We didn't have long waits to get in the dingys to get out to our activities! The other guests were nice and it was a friendly feel. The upper deck had great shade and was comfortable to hang out on. We had the cabins on the top deck and we had adjoining rooms with our adult daughters. The naturalist was great! Pedro made this trip! And the crew that ran the boats to the activities were also awesome! Since we would get pretty hot with activities and the weather, the shared room on the boat had great AC which was needed! The cruise director was not great, her attention to detail and service was lacking. I think her English shoujld have been better for her position on the boat and with the passengers. Some other staff members were great and had better understanding of these skills. Our daughter had a food allergy and the chef and cruise director seemed pretty clueless which was surprising. I don't know how these experiences compare to other boats.

Amazing snorkeling. Gorgeous island and rock formation. We had a wonderful hike to the top for great views. We got to snorkel to see the penguins. We had a great boat ride too.

This was a highlight seeing these tortoises and also the cows with their cattle birds too. We saw so many tortoises! And we had a wonderful walk in the lava tube!

This was the best snorkeling of the whole cruise! We had seen some of these animals in other spots but we saw rays mating. We saw a fleet of sting rays swim below us - it was maybe 25-30 in formation like an air force in flight. I lost count of the amount of sea turtles. We saw the best colored fish and coral and the sea lions swam with us. It was the best. There is a beautiful sea cave here too. And the birds are great to spot too.

We saw gorgeous flamingos here. We saw one in the water, and could observe her from our walk. But THEN we saw two in flight overhead - it was gorgeous! I had just been wondering how these big birds get into the air!

We had a wonderful super local guide meet us and we could store our luggage until it was Ferry time. You take a water taxi to the ferry. Tamer arranged for us to have the $1 each for the fare. It was a fun and funny experience - seeing the sea lions on the little docks and seeing these boat drivers pile up the luggage. My family couldn't watch as we floated out to the ferry. It was a fun experience. The ferry itself was smaller than i expected - it was a little hot - no open windows. There were outlets and usb ports over the seats but they did not work. I was fine with it - my kids were not as much. It had the local charm and adventure and i would not trade it. But it was a little hot, and the bathroom was not easy to maneuver with the fast speed but i am glad there was a bathroom! I am glad we got to do it - but it is warm and a little loud but again, local and i liked that part. I would not have wanted a more sanitized private transfer. It was just a little over 2 hours and we got to see jumping dolphins in the open water!

We loved this town so much! We had two nights in a hotel right at the waterfront. We all loved seeing all the sea lions at the port and on the sidewalks. We went to visit them in the morning and evening. It smelled a little but that was ok. We LOVED several of the restaurants in town. This was our favorite of the towns we saw. The vibe was great.

Great hotel and beautiful location. It is farther away from Christmas Village and city so be aware of that. Might be more ideal if you have your own car. Their shuttle bus does not run as often as they advertise it does and if you don't take it - the cost of taxi to city and the Village is quite expensive.

First of all - I see above that it says it was 4 hours that was not true. It was 2 hours and 15 minutes long. The guide was nice and had good information. We did not go to all the sites that the kimkim agenda listed we were going to see. There was not time to go into some of the sites for example the main cathedral we just looked at from the outside. The guide seemed upset when people wanted to stay at a place for a few minutes and take pictures, he was very on the move and did not allow for much time to look around or take pictures.

A lot of fun, enjoyable experience. Driving the husky sled as great. They advertise getting to play with the puppies but they only bring out 1 puppy and pass it around.

No northern lights seen but otherwise good excursion. The guide tried very hard to find the lights for us. We drove for almost 6 hours without success.

Again - no northern lights seen but overall guide was friendly and tried various locations. He did not really talk at all about the northern lights so if you wanted background on the aurora, what causes them, when to see them, history etc. you will not get that.

So much fun. Guide was great and very fun experience.

A lot of fun. The guide was very friendly. I will say I expected more of them talking about Finland - the history, nature, the region etc. but really we just talked about life etc. If you asked questions they answered but no set education or information about the forest/region etc.

Great location. Nice rooms and facilities. Staff friendly. No issues whatsoever.

Lovely views. Cooler than expected, but welcome as Bangkok and Phuket were very hot this time of year. The Pagodas and flower gardens were spectacular.

Don't miss.

Alfonso took us on a great walk around the Old town and it was a fun thing to do to experience local food and talk and learn about Basque culture and the history of San Sebastián.

Our private guide was amazing and we got so much out of the experience instead of having a look by ourselves.

Our private guide was great and we got to learn a lot about the history and see a lot around town. She took us to all the major sites in Zaragoza on an easy walk and pointed out the major landmarks/streets so we could walk around on our own easily without her.

We had a few guided walks with Jordi from Color bike company. He was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He brought us to some delicious restaurants and we felt like we saw almost everything in Barcelona over 3 days. He had great recommendations. You can tell he enjoys being a guide and loves to share his culture and the history of Barcelona.

A really fun half day going around San Sebastian, walking, lunch in Pasaia at a nice restaurant, and a nice relaxing boat ride back to San Sebastián. Gorgeous scenery all around.

Smaller intimate venue with 3 generations of flamenco dancers! We also had a guided walk and a nice tapas dinner at a nice restaurant before the flamenco show located on Las Ramblas.

Very Comfortable Nice bed, friendly staff. Felt very secure

Location wa amazing, dead center facing the entrace to the old town, roof top pool which was welcomed highly considering the afternoo heat. Breakfast delicious. Staff welcoming and smiles. Felt very secure

This place is RUSTIC. There is no airconditioning. The bathrooms are as basic as they can be and still be called a bathroom. However, It is completely far away in uninhabitated land. The food wa cooked by Locals and delicious. The access to the fishing wa amazing. The johnboat ride to and from the fishing grounds at sunrise and sunset were easily worth the price of admission. If that is the kind of experience you are seeking, I highly recommend.

Great location! Great breakfast! The staff was very nice too. The room was beautiful too.

WOW! This was a lovely place. The hot springs on the resort were wonderful.

Great resort. The hotel was clean and close to the ocean. The beach was lovely too.

Mariano was wonderful. The private tour was a treasure! I would recommend spending the money for a private tour.

Mariano was great! We loved his tour and he was always showing us animals and pointing out things for us to see.

The sail trip was very nice! The water was clear and guides were friendly. We were lucky- there was only 1 other couple on the boat.

Comfortable beds and great location with indoor parking.

Location is right in the center of town and has ample free parking across the street.

Clean and comfortable rooms with an amazing restaurant! It's also a short drive to some spectacular falls and of course the glacier tours.

Room was clean but a bit small. Location and parking were good. Restaurants were within walking distance and sites on the golden circle were easily drivable.

Our guide, Bren was a joy! She had many great stories and anecdotes along with great explanations of the food and history of Iceland.

I've never done one of these spas before, so I can't compare it to anything. However, if you're looking to really get unwound after a tough day of travelling, this is the best place! Just to give you some evidence of the stress relief, you will remember the mood you were in at the airports and on the planes etc... and you probably minimized the amount of talking you did with other travelers. A very somber experience. In this place, its the same people, but now everyone is relaxed and talking with one another and having a great time!

The tour guide was terrific! She was very knowledgeable and made some pretty funny jokes as well. The Ice caves themselves were spectacular! The different colors and the shapes of the caves and cave walls were very impressive. Also, the shear size of the glacier tongue with the surrounding snow-covered peaks was just beautiful. The glacier lake with outlet river and drifting icebergs and seals was other-worldly!

Another unique, educational activity worth every penny. The guide was terrific! She was very knowledgeable and kept us well-entertained with the occasional joke.

This was a really cool demonstration of the ubiquitous geothermal energy in Iceland. Our guide was again very knowledgeable and entertaining with her jokes. The rye bread with butter and smoked trout were amazing. A few slices are all you need to fill you up for lunch.

Not applicable since we had to cancel this one.

Excellent location!!! Hotel could use a refresh.

Excellent location!!

Wonderful tour of the city. Service and food very nice.

Lovely day out with a nice small group. The venues we went to were nice and the hosts were informative. Lunch was especially nice at a golf club with quick service and scenery.

The cruise was definitely a highlight of our vacation. The staff were exceptional and very helpful. The gear provided was in great shape and we appreciated the stinger suits with the jelly fish in the area. The morning there were a lot of waves/rain but it didn't stop the adventure. The staff were very considerate to those that were experiencing sea sickness. The lunch provided was ample and tasty. The second location was particularly exciting but more because the weather had shifted and we weren't combating the waves as much so we were able to enjoy it a bit more. We took advantage of the glass bottom boat ride and appreciated the marine biologist giving us further insight into what we were looking at below. Overall a 10++ experience.

We took the skyrail both up and down as the train was out of commission due to flooding.

It was a pleasant evening. The food was good and the staff very pleasant. As it was a rainy night we didn't really get to enjoy the outside view.

Great day out exploring the rainforest.

Excellent services in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Amazing views of the Himalayas!
