Kimkim Trip Reviews

We didn’t like it at all. We had an apartment upstairs with no elevator. The condition was bad. The shower faucet didn’t work. No breakfast included

We loved the room. There were so many birds in the beautiful gardens. The pool was lovely too.

The room, restaurant and pool were very nice. I enjoyed the open air lobby.

Our guide David was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was amazing to see the cocoa fruit and taste it. The different stages of the chocolate making process was interesting. The plain chocolate was bitter but the chocolate as you add milk and sugar was delicious. The coffee segment of the tour was just as enjoyable. Watching the lady roast the beans was intriguing. David ground the beans and brewed the coffee . It was very tasty. The farm had many different plants including pineapple. Also we saw a “blue jeans” frog on the property. Everything was fabulous.

Grea room, very comfortable. Pretty view. The beach was rocky, not sandy. It is not in town so a car or private transfer was needed to get to places. If you want to be out of town a bit this place was perfect. Super helpful staff.

Great location, couldn't be beat. The hot tub/warm tub was a nice touch. The layout of the room was like a cave, which was cool and unique but also kind of weird. It was a bit challenging to lug the suitcase around the room. Very helpful and nice staff.

Really nice place. Super friendly staff. Rooftop patio was great at night. For a hotel in Europe, the bathroom was pretty nice. The stairs up to the bed would have been difficult for someone that was disabled. Overall, we loved this place. Best hotel of our trip.

We visited historical sites in Marsala followed by Mothia, remains of a fascinating Phoenician settlement. Our guide managed to fit in a good deal! Afterwards we toured the salt pans and saw how sea salt was harvested, saw the old wind-powered grinding stone, and had a salt tasting. A great day.

We were given a tour only of the Gattopoardo Museum by an English-speaking cousin of a museum employee, although I had requested history and culture of the town.

Another great guide, interesting site. Huge!

Fun! Great food! Included historical sites, and although we had seen some of them the previous day, we got a different perspective on them.

Another great guide. She also pointed us to an ethnographic museum because we were looking for more cultural and anthropological informaition.

Pompeii was fascinating. The guide, however, tended to walk ahead with my husband so I missed much of what he said. The tour of Naples was pretty good. The driver was careful.

Great guide, knowledgeable an interesting.

Great guide, knowledgeable and interesting.

Beautiful setting, tasted four wines, then had lunch. A nice stop on a drive, and fun to learn about local wines.

The site is not one to miss. The group tour is okay.

Our guide was so knowledgeable and engaging!

Nice hotels in the Center town. Thank you for the lovely owner Vincente, who was always attentive to my needs.

Amazing sunset excursion into the valley. It was beautiful, taking photographs as the sun went down and having pisco sours while doing it

Beautiful variety of things to see on this excursion

Amazing experience to see the geysers. Gives you a different perspective of Chile.

Amazing experience in the desert. Well worth seeing the beautiful stars.

Beautiful hotel with very comfortable rooms. We did not have a view but it was in a perfect location in the middle of the old town for walking everywhere. They did help us with luggage when we arrived at the pier and when we were leaving. Cars are not allowed inside town so we had to walk a short, flat distance to meet our ride to the airport. Breakfast was good.

The rooms are a little small but the hotel was a heritage hotel so we expected that. There was no view from our room but we were not in our room much anyway. The rooms were well kept and had everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious. The staff were very kind and helpful. AND they are strong from lugging luggage for old people up all the steps!! We were very grateful!

A beautiful boutique hotel with gorgeous views, kind staff, and a wonderful restaurant with a view. I wish we had more time in Dubrovnik to relax at one of the pool areas- so quiet and inviting!

Our driver was wonderful. We walked on our own through this park - it was crowded but still a must see!! Then he took us to a wonderful place for lunch for excellent grilled food. There were cherry trees too-a bonus :)

Another excellent and knowledgeable guide! She offered a thorough intro into the history of the castle and a nice walking tour throughout the castle walls. We also toured the synagogue which is still in use today. I loved learning about how all the religions are welcomed in Croatia even though it is majority Catholic. Beautiful

Another amazing day! The blue caves were worth the bumpy ride and the additional stop for lunch along the way in a quiet town was great too! Our guide, Tonko, was awesome! He is an excellent skipper-he did the best he could to avoid the trip being too bumpy considering the windy weather. We had a beautiful day!

Marco provided a beautiful hike through the hills through old villages and beautiful terrain. He had so much knowledge of everything growing around us - we couldn’t believe the diversity of herbs and trees. We ate at a restaurant in one of the old villages and had a traditional Peka meal - outstanding! We were so thankful for all of his knowledge and for the walking sticks he provided!! The hike was not hard but it was nice to have that extra reassurance in the few parts with gravel going a little uphill or down :) Younger people or experienced hikers would do just fine without them.

One of the best experiences of our trip! Our guide, Ivo, was outstanding. On the drive to Ston, he offered so much information on the history of Croatia. Then we made a short stop in town before heading over to the oyster farm for our private boat to the farm and oyster tasting. The oyster fisherman explained the whole process and then we ate oysters right out of the sea-I’ve never had anything so fresh and delicious! Then to an amazing meal where you pick your own fish and everything was prepared to perfection at Bota Restorani. Then on to Milo’s winery where we had excellent wines - what a day!

Our guide was excellent- I think her name is Ina but I’m not sure. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Croatia and Dubrovnik and was able to answer all of our questions. We were also interested in learning about Dubrovnik’s Jewish population annd history in Dubrovnik and she knew a lot about that as well - very interesting! Thank you!

Our stay at Hotel Zugspitze was fantastic. The location is very convenient and close to everything, making it easy to get around Garmisch. The view from the room was stunning, especially with the surrounding mountains. Breakfast was excellent and a great way to start each day. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Our day trip to Nuremberg by train was wonderful. It’s a beautiful town with so much character, and I personally loved it. The mix of history and charm made it a very memorable stop on our trip. Our private tour guide, Kevin, truly made the experience even better. The whole family loved him—he was very personable, engaging, and easy to be around. He took us around the town and beyond, making sure we saw all the highlights while keeping things interesting and enjoyable. Overall, it was a great experience, and Kevin made the day extra special for us.

Visiting Zugspitze was an incredible experience. It was absolutely beautiful to be on top of the clouds—something we won’t forget. The panoramic views from the summit are truly stunning and well worth the trip. We also stopped by Eibsee afterwards. Getting there was also very convenient. We took the bus from the station near our hotel, which made the journey simple and easy. Overall, it was a unique and memorable experience, and a must-do when visiting the area.

Our private tour from Munich to Neuschwanstein Castle was one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was smooth, well organized, and perfectly timed. Tom, our driver and guide, was exceptional—he was not only very knowledgeable but also incredibly fun to be around, which made the entire day even more enjoyable. He picked us up right on time and even messaged us on WhatsApp to let us know he was on his way, which we really appreciated. We arrived at the castle early, before it got too crowded, which made a big difference. Tom had all the tickets ready and guided us efficiently, even showing us a few shortcuts along the way. It made the whole experience feel easy and stress free. In addition to Neuschwanstein, Tom also took us to Linderhof and Ettal, which were beautiful and well worth the visit. He was also great at taking photos for us, making sure we captured some wonderful memories throughout the day. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and Tom truly made it special for us.

The e-bike tour was a fantastic way to explore Munich and ended up being one of the most fun activities of our trip. Interestingly, we were included with a regular bicycle group instead of all e-bikes, but it wasn’t an issue at all. The group dynamic worked well, and everyone kept a comfortable pace, so we still really enjoyed the experience. Simon, our tour guide, was great—he kept the ride fun, engaging, and informative throughout. He did an excellent job balancing history with lighthearted moments, which made the tour enjoyable for everyone. The highlights for us were definitely the stop at the beer garden and seeing the river surfers, which added a unique and memorable touch to the experience. Overall, it was a fun, relaxed, and memorable way to see the city, and I would highly recommend it.

Our visit to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial was a deeply moving and meaningful experience. It’s truly a place that leaves a lasting impression. The tour guide was excellent—very knowledgeable, communicated clearly, and did a great job helping us navigate through the camp while sharing important historical context with sensitivity and respect. Having a good guide made a big difference in understanding the significance of the site. The only downside for me personally was the group size. With around 25 people, it felt a bit large at times, and I would have preferred a smaller group for a more personal experience. Overall, it was a powerful and well-organized tour, and I’m very glad we included it in our trip.

While this hotel was in a good location, right in the city center, it was also very loud. Our room was beautiful with three balconies overlooking the street, however they were most unusable because passers-by could look right into the room. It was also a little difficult to find the hotel. The taxi cannot take you right to the door because its on a pedestrian street and there is only a small sign to the left of the main door indicating that it is a hotel.

This hotel is in a good location, easily walkable to the city center. We had a beautiful room overlooking a courtyard. There were many choices for breakfast and there is a rooftop patio with beautiful views to enjoy your breakfast or a cocktail in the evening.

This hotel was centrally located and an easy walk to the Vatican. The staff was very friendly and helpful and there were many breakfast choices.

The meeting point for this tour was very busy and a little hard to find our operator. Once we reached the boat everything was seamless and our boat crew was excellent!

This is a busy excursion. You cover a lot of territory throughout the day but the guide is very knowledgable and moved at a slow pace so that all could keep up.

Amazing experience. So much food and drink and information about the city of Florence.

A little hard to find the meeting point. Guide was very knowledgeable but a little too much like a college lecture.

Massimo was amazing! Seeing the Vatican on a tour is imperative to save time.

Highly recommend this activity.

The only drawback in this hotel, which is absolutely not their fault, is that we didn’t get to stay in inside of the town area. This was because it was Easter Sunday and we were late on our end, which is no reflection on Janelle or the hotel. The hotel itself was lovely. Seems like a perfect place for Business or families. It is newer so it’s modern and clean.

The staff here is wonderful! They were so nice and were able to recommend and make reservations for us. The hotel is perfect. Clean, modern, and comfortable. Great location too! We would stay there again!

The very best location! Gorgeous views and a wonderful staff!

Our stay at Camp Xakanaxa was absolutely incredible and one of the most memorable parts of our Botswana safari adventure. Located deep inside the Moremi Game Reserve, the camp offered an authentic wilderness experience while still being very comfortable and beautifully maintained. The atmosphere at the camp was peaceful and immersive, surrounded by stunning scenery and wildlife everywhere. We loved hearing the sounds of nature at night and waking up each morning feeling completely connected to the African bush. The game drives were exceptional, and we were incredibly lucky with wildlife sightings. During our stay, we saw lions, leopards, elephants, hippos, wild dogs, and so many other amazing animals. Every drive felt exciting and different, and the guides were knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about wildlife. Their tracking skills and understanding of animal behavior made the experience even more special. A big thank you to all the staff for their warm hospitality, excellent service, and attention to detail throughout our stay. Everyone made us feel so welcome and well cared for.

Our stay at Camp Okavango was an unforgettable experience and truly one of the highlights of our Botswana safari adventure. From the moment we arrived by boat in the heart of the Okavango Delta, we felt completely immersed in the beauty and tranquility of the wilderness. The camp itself was beautifully designed, blending perfectly into the natural surroundings while still offering comfort and luxury. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and it was incredible to wake up each morning surrounded by nature, with birdsong and wildlife all around us. What made the experience especially memorable were the amazing guides and staff. Everyone was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the Delta. The game drives, mokoro excursions, and boat safaris were all fantastic, giving us the opportunity to see elephants, hippos, crocodiles, antelope, and so many beautiful birds up close. One of the things we loved most was the peaceful atmosphere of the Okavango Delta itself. Watching the sunset over the waterways while listening to the sounds of the bush was simply magical. Thank you to everyone at Camp Okavango for such a wonderful stay and for creating memories we will treasure forever. We would highly recommend Camp Okavango to anyone looking for an authentic and luxurious safari experience in Botswana.

Our stay at Victoria Falls River Lodge was absolutely wonderful and truly unforgettable. The location along the Zambezi River was stunning, with breathtaking views and wildlife all around us. Waking up to the sounds of birds and watching animals near the river made the experience feel so special and immersive. The lodge itself was beautiful, comfortable, and very well designed, blending luxury with the natural surroundings perfectly. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay, always making us feel welcome and well taken care of. We especially enjoyed the river activities and game drives, where we saw elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and many other incredible animals up close. Of course, visiting Victoria Falls was also a major highlight — truly one of the most spectacular places we have ever seen. Thank you to everyone at Victoria Falls River Lodge for such an amazing experience. We left with wonderful memories and would highly recommend this lodge to anyone visiting Victoria Falls and looking for a luxury safari experience.

The game drives were exceptional, and we were incredibly lucky with wildlife sightings. During our stay, we saw lions, leopards, elephants, hippos, wild dogs, and so many other amazing animals.

Beautiful park; plenty of time; self led

We were there for 1 night at the end of our trip to be closer to the airport. It is a very charming hotel.

This hotel had amazing hot spring pools, swim up bar. Everything was very tropical. Breakfast included every day was very good. Lots to do and see on the property - did horseback riding, a very nice spa. Room was spacious and cleaned every day.

The rainforest night walk was fun, saw lots of night critters. Dinner at the Mendez family home was welcoming and delicious.

Extremely helpful and kind.

Our experience was wonderful! We got to the hotel early and our room was not ready yet. Christina (her and Maria were fantastic!!) still checked us in and was able to get us a table at the hotel’s restaurant. After a long travel day, it was great to just relax. The hotel is in the perfect spot! There are so many restaurants to choose from just a few steps out of the hotel doors. There is even a little pharmacy shop right across the hotel that has some essentials you may have forgotten! You are a 30 second walk to the river where you can take in views of that, the amazing architecture and mountains. I highly recommend booking your stay here. I know I will be back!

WOW. Is one way to describe this hotel. The walk up was well worth the incredible views we had from our room. The staff was amazing and very kind. We did not want to leave. If you are planning a trip to Grindelwald, I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

This hotel was so cute! It was close enough to shops, restaurants and the lake to be able to walk but you still felt tucked away in your own private oasis. The staff was wonderful! I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit.

Staff was less than friendly. No Breakfast. Good location and property is updated but didn't feel welcoming. The James Hotel Rotterdam appeared to be a great property with its newer, bigger rooms, but the staff was just not friendly. They were quite cold and unkind, which impacted our overall experience there. The accommodations were nice, but the hospitality left much to be desired.

Do this! You feel like you are family here. Right in Central Amsterdam. Hotel des Arts in Amsterdam gave us a wonderful experience. The staff was fantastic and really wrapped it up with their hospitality. Despite the rooms not being as large as other places, the excellent service made up for it. I would recommend this hotel over and over.

The Dutch countryside food & windmills tour offered a great food experience, but was lacking in terms of the windmills, which weren't accessible and felt too touristy. However, the food aspect was wonderful, especially visiting a butcher, a cheese maker, and the incredible dining experience, which was memorable and exceeded expectations.

The Amsterdam private canal cruise with Maxim was enjoyable, but a bit redundant since we had already seen much of the city. Maxim is quite a character, best suited for an evening activity with drinks, not an 11 AM cruise. I would suggest taking the cruise before a walking tour, in a reversed order.

The Amsterdam private guided historic city walk with Rudolph was fantastic. He's an incredible guide and really made the experience memorable. However, I wouldn't recommend doing it right after a long flight due to jet lag as it can be exhausting. It would have been perfect if scheduled later.

it is so easy to use if you find your station

Well located. Easy walk to sites and restaurants. Staff is friendly. Breakfast has a lot of options.

My knowledgeable guide Furkan showed me the spice market, provided a histical back drop as we toured the Bosphorus by boat and then we went to the Asian side of Istanbul including stops fir wonderful vistas. Oir lunch break even included trying a local snack.

A great way to taste local flavors andtake some recipes back with you. The chefs were funny and made every step feel easy. It was interesting to see and use some special knives. And the reward at the end is a lovely meal.

The team presenting the workshop we're terrific. They explained each step of the process. They're we're lots of colors to choose from and they provided guided patterns as well. Plus they offered tea.

On the boat ride out to the islands the guide shared a lot of history about Istanbul, the islands and various sites usable from the water. We went to 2 islands and had free time at each to explore.

Bhari was amazing. As we wandered tasting local flavors we also learned about the neighborhoods. An amazing bonus we all left with notes about places to try in the neighborhoods where our hotels were.

The hotel was truly a British gem. The decor was great, staff was very helpful and courteous. The morning breakfasts were great.

Our guide, Billie was fantastic. She pointed out a lot of really nice things and handled all the details so well.

This was a great dinner cruise. Highly recommend.

We missed this trip due some planning changes. We were informed of the changes but arrived too late for the revised bus.
