Kimkim Trip Reviews

Great breakfast and service. Great airport shuttle service

Awesome breakfast and overall experience.

Beautiful experience. Very pretty.

We had to do the whole thing from the car. We couldn’t go outside. There’s not a walking tour. Just had us sit inside the bus and listen to the tour guide talked to us.

Really expensive. Beautiful place. Quality of the savory snacks was actually low. Quality of the sweet snacks was amazing. Just realize you’re paying a lot of money for OK amount of food not that much

Amazing experience, but paid a lot of money for this.

This trip kept on getting rebooked because of weather and then one time they had to rebook because of a military exercise in the area. Ultimately, we ran out of time and our trip so we never ended up doing it. They plan on refunding all our money, but it has not been refunded yet.

It is a lot of lecturing and a lot of talking very little time on the telescopes. Most of the time was people were talking to us about the northern lights and talking to us about asteroids and meteors. We spent very little time on the actual telescopes. And even with that we didn’t really see much.

Really beautiful. Really knowledgeable guide. We got to hop on a hop off and see a lot of sites. The Boat Tours was not that great. Spent 35 minutes getting to an island. Spent like 15 minutes on the island. And then had to go back for 35 minutes.

It was ok the staff were friendly and helpful Location for us could have been more central. It was clean and fine overall.

It was a very very long walk to this and left us feeling very tired to enjoy this art. Perhaps this can be done in the beginning ? then we had to take cab back to the center..

Amazing lodge. Best staff. Delicious food. Wonderful accommodations

Excellent hotel, great location in Asakusa. Would stay here again!

Our favorite hotel of the trip! The staff was so kind & the location was on a beautiful, quiet street. We loved the suite + amenities - very comfortable & cozy!

Wonderful hotel; more remote but enjoyed the spacious room + museum inside the hotel. Wonderful staff.

We had issues with our initial, but Eleanor and the hotel were quick to move us to a different room! Wonderful amenities and central location.

Great hotel & convenient location in Kyoto!

Great tour with Yumi!

Wonderful tour with Fumi who was our guide for 2 days. Fumi curated our tour based on our interests and shifted to off the beaten path, indoor activities when it started to rain. We highly recommend tours with Fumi!

We had a wonderful 2 day tour with Hiroko. She was very knowledgable and shared so much history on the various sites. Hiroko also adjusted the tour based on our interests which made the tour even more memorable. Hiroko also worked magic taking photos of us without crowds in the background.

Very very nice hotel! Wish we could have spent more time here.

Stunning views. Wish we had known there would be little food on this as by the time we ended and got back was almost 10 pm and we were starving.

Carlos did an amazing job with this tour and catered to our preferences.

This winery was absolutely beautiful!

Carlos did a wonderful job picking us up on time and giving us tricks for getting through the crazy Lisbon airport.

It was really nice how they catered to our vegetarian preferences. Food was yummy and was a fun experience!

On every level, this is a standout hotel! To start, it's located a short walk from the Central Train Station, making it convenient for travel to/from the airport and other Norwegian cities. The staff is exceptional - helpful, knowledgeable and fluent in English. When I told the front desk person that we had to leave early to catch the 5:40 am train to the airport, she said the hotel would prepare a takeout breakfast for us. That breakfast included juice, fruit, cookies, a veggie bagel for me and a smoked salmon bagel for my husband, utensils and napkins. Our room had a comfortable king size bed and beautiful bathroom with large towels and bathrobes. As someone who has to go to the bathroom during the night, I so appreciated the light that goes on automatically under the sink. Breakfast is exceptional, with considerable variety and high quality choices. Lastly, we enjoyed drinks at the bar expertly prepared by a bartender who is actually a Greek doctor. If you want a superbly staffed and located hotel in Oslo, look no further than the Amerikalinjen.

In the heart of Porto, a stylish boutique hotel, comfortable accommodations, lovely breakfast, and friendly and helpful staff. Shower was not great, had to worry about water running out of the shower stall, design was not smart.

Vasco was so special. What a pleasant young man! When he explained his name was like Vasco da Gama, I misunderstood and thought he was actually a descendant! What great laughs we had at my expense. Great sleep at night. We did it all. Restaurants nearby, great stores, the history here is abundant. The staff friendly, delicious breakfast. The shower here was the best of all the hotels we stayed.

The photos on their website show the more glamorous rooms. Ours was small, but comfortable. It wasn't bad, but not beyond the average.

Location, location, location. At the Marina, but our room faced the bus terminal in the back, Luckily, we didn't spend too much time in our room. The staff were kind, professional, and helpful.

OMG! The best of all the hotels. Don't get me wrong, every hotel that was selected for our trip was classic, different, and comfortable. I just pointed out certain 'observations' on which they could approve. But Hotel Britania was a true historic and awesome hotel. Omar, Patric, Jose, and the dining room staff were so kind, engaged, and made our stay so memorable. We will be coming back here.

Wild boat ride. The two person boat team were great!

What a pleasant surprise on a tour focused on landmarks and history, an Olive Grove Visit. The beauty of the Olive Trees, especially the one that well over 2,000 years old.

I wish I was more artistically inclined. Some in the class were more talented. But it was still a great time, and we brought home our own creations,

Hotel was centrally located and close to major areas. However the room we were given was the top most floor with slanted ceilings and so we get hitting our heads on the ceiling. Otherwise it was a nice room - quite spacious and clean.

The area was great and walkable. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was delicious.

The rooms were nothing special, just a regular room. Our girls did love that they each got their own twin bed. The location was amazing with the pubs and restaurants right around the corner. Very easy to walk. The staff was nice and the breakfast was decent.

Absolutely loved this hotel! The rooms were gorgeous and the staff was beyond amazing and they were so friendly to our girls. The breakfast was delicious and we loved that we got to order something hot to go along with the yogurt and baked goods. Our girls loved running around on the grounds and seeing the deer that were just hanging around right by. It was an easy 20 minute walk into town.

This hotel was simply amazing. The location is gorgeous and the staff is very welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a Junior suit that was two stories and it was the best for a family. The breakfast was one of the best we had while on our vacation in Ireland. I wish we would have known more about the hotel before our trip and would have booked an extra day just to enjoy all the the hotel has to offer.

It was a good hotel and a great place for a night. It was nice that the local transit had a stop right behind it which made it easy to get to and from without having to move our car. The parking for the car was a bit out of the way and took a while to get too and from. The elevators were not so convenient. You needed your room key to activate it each and every time and if you got in without using it, there were not buttons to get you to the floor you needed to go. The staff was friendly and helpful.

I can't remember his name, but the owner of the farm was so welcoming and informative. He was so great with our girls as well. They loved getting to bottle feed the baby sheep and had so much fun walking around with them in the little area we were in. The setting is absolutely beautiful as well.

Not sure how we got so lucky, but we were seated right up front against the stage. We were a little worried that it was going to be too late or too long for our girls, but they wanted to stay the whole time and loved watching the dancers. It was a great way to end our trip.

Awesome hotel, even better location, walking distance to everywhere you want to be. Service is out of this world, custom omelet for breakfast. On the negative side, the bar is very expensive and not consistent. The same drink was 15 and next time 19 euro, where in restaurant 50 meters away was 7 euro. Also the hotel in in pedestrian only zone, so required 50-100 meters walk for a taxi pick up, drugging your luggage. Still, I would not hesitate to stay there again.

This ultra modern hotel is gorgeous, has beautiful river views, pool and spa. It is perfect if you need rest and relaxation. But if you are a tourist visiting Porto for the first time, it is outside of city center, 20 min cab or uber ride and has nothing around it. You are contained to eat and drink there.

Fantastic trip, great guide. The restaurant of the main road that the guide had suggested as authentic was the most expensive meal we had in Portugal.

Ana was incredible, made this experience to remember.

Cesar was excellent, punctual, on time, helpful, wearing a suit and a tie. His car was clean, had water and luxurious. Only one misstep, he talked too much about his family values, making it difficult to concentrate on something else. Otherwise, flawless.

I can't tell much about it as my wife was robbed at the start of this tour. Our guide Ana was amazing though, went with us to police station and otherwise gave us comfort.

Located within the medina was a great way to start the vacation. As a riad there are no outside windows but a great internal courtyard with fountain and garden

Great views over the blue city. Ideal watching the sun go down. This hotel is a top 168 step climb. Donot worry the porters are great

An amazing hotel just outside the media.

Surprisingly not my favourite

A typical city hotel, nothing special

Just an outstanding riad

Great introduction to Morocco

An interesting tour

A great introduction to the way of life in Marrackesh

The tour guide made the experience

This tour was OK

Miriam at Cafe Clock made this experience for us as we celebrated a landmark wedding anniversary

Always fun riding a camel in the sahara

The fishing port was great to see up close

The driver took the inland route

A fascinating drive

An incredible place

A great way to get out and experience totally different scenery. A great family host for lunch

A pleasant drive and stopping at the womens cooperative that explained how argan oil was interesting

Great experience the scrub certain loosens some dead skin.

A great way to finish the vacation

Great location! The family room gave everyone some space and the view of the Eiffel Tower from the bathroom was a surprising bonus!

A perfect location in Annecy. The pool and the restaurant were a great addition.

Great location and beautiful views

We all agree that this was our most favorite tour that we took. Emmanella was absolutely fantastic and kept our kids engaged for the whole tour. She gave us all the details we needed without spending too much time in each room. We all learned so much and still talk about her often. Could not recommend her more!

This was another favorite of ours. The location was absolutely gorgeous and learning about the cheese process was so fun. Getting to taste the cheese and drink the local wine at the end of the tour was an added bonus.

We loved this day and loved being out on the water. It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon. We brought a bottle of wine as we cruised around the gorgeous lake and even jumped in.

This was another great day. The train was fun and offered amazing views in the mountains without having to climb them. Our guide was wonderful and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. The glacier was closed for the month of May, but still so happy that we went up and got into the mountains. Our lunch in town was one of our favorites of the whole trip.

Wonderful in-town setting that was clean, cozy and comfortable. We arrived to late too sample dinner but the breakfast buffet the next day was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We only stayed one night. We felt this was one of the better hotels on our 10-day trip, and would stay here again.

A great, secluded location near the coast and right off the Ring Road that provided contemporary charm and elegance. While we were unable to take advantage of internal services such as hot tub, pool, and sauna due to our time constraints, it was clear guests were enjoying all of them. Dinners were elegantly prepared and catered to a broad set of tastes and preferences. We were able to save time by having a breakfast to go option that allowed us to select various food items and take in the car. Views of the glacier outside our hotel room were fantastic. Hotel exuded more upscale in terms of services and furnishings. Would definitely revisit again.

Arrived late, missed dinner and nothing was available in town. That situation was on us, but points out there are, at times, few options to eat when travelling the Ring Road. We intentionally prioritized seeing the country and taking advantage of extended daylight. Seemed a little harder to move our luggage in and out of the hotel. Room was warm, but it did have a mobile fan. Windows could open but there were no screens and some flies were beginning to hatch outside so we just used the fan. Not crazy about the overall location, however we did find a wonderful homemade, farm fresh, ice-cream parlor in the area and "Daddy's Pizza" was great for a lunch.

We loved the town of Husavik and the Fosshotel Husavik was well situated to enable exploration of the harbor, surrounding restaurants and shopping. Staff were helpful and accommodating.

Stayed two nights, incredible location with views of the surrounding mountains and ocean lagoon. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was excellent.

Our last night in Iceland we stayed at this hotel and didn't have a lot of exposure to internal services. First impressions ... the reception area is cramped (right next to dining), the access to elevators was somewhat impeded with construction / barrier. We did not eat dinner or breakfast here.

We loved the team of guides at the Black Sand Beach. The horse ride was a good way to see the beach and surrounding area. Everything was executed well. Icelandic horses have a charm all their own.

Overall an entertaining and informative tour into an ice cave contained in the 2nd largest glacier in Iceland, something we had never done before. The previous year we visited glaciers in Canada, but this was a more hands-on exposure through both lava fields and glacial structures. Had hoped for more individual cave rooms than what we saw, but that is a function of mother nature versus the outfitter.

There are so many waterfalls in Iceland that you lose count. You will see high volume, forceful displays of hydraulics that will amaze anyone, as well as small, poetic wisps of water cascading down a huge cliff. That being said, Godafoss was our favorite as a beautiful, quintessential waterfall that could easily be our trip icon.

Great kayaking is all about what you are doing and where you are doing it. It doesn't get any better than kayaking a glacial, iceberg-laded lagoon. Equipment was superb.

Just amazing!

Another one of those "we've never done this before" experiences that Iceland seems to deliver all over the island. Can't say enough about how much we anticipated this particular activity. My daughter just graduated in zoology and wishes to become a marine biologist. This was partly her idea and I have to say it exceeded everyone's expectations. You can't make whales magically appear, but we saw plenty of humpbacks.

I'm personally not a big fan of spas or bathing with strangers but my wife and daughter enjoyed it. As far as Icelandic spas go I think this one is a little more scenic (oceanic views) and private (fewer people) versus the gigantic Blue Lagoon.

We opted for more time touring of the country versus seeing Reykyavik. I personaly would have like to have taken more time to see the city. The day we were visiting Reykavik was quite cold and windy as a gale had swept into the area. We walked to the old town section from our hotel and it was a lot of fun. There is really no crime to speak of so we felt completely safe. We walked to Hallgrimskirkja and enjoyed the Loki Cafe (lamb soup was fantastic), which was right next door. The girls wanted to see the Rainbow street and did some shopping. This is a nice, historic section of town. Had dinner in a ramen restaurant and were not overjoyed.

I can't say enough about this activity as well. It was the perfect length of time (~ 3 hours) and the rivers cuts through wonderful canyon-like landscape. Mostly class 2 and class 3 rapids. Plan on getting wet, but not getting dunked. Gear was fantastic and the guides are great ... very safety conscious.

Not bad but the hike was a little more demanding than what you would expect in a shoreline hike.

This was a must see and the photo you see in brochures is the real deal.

Perfect location, loved the rooftop bar. Good room size.

Loved this hotel, the ambiance was amazing.

Loved this hotel, I wish we had an extra night stay here.

Hotel looks tired and need of renovation. Rooms were spacious. The view from the room is awesome.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Loved every bit of our stay here. Unique and adventurous experience. The pods were clean and not as cold as I thought they would be. The hot tubs had the best views and were very clean. The climb to the pods was exhilarating thrilling and the views were spectacular. Best breakfast and dinner made by the friendly staff. The Zip line experience was out of this world, the best ever. Everything about Starlodge was awesome can’t fault anything. All the staff were amazing.

We loved the hotel from the first step we took inside. Unfortunately, we arrived very late and left very early so did not get to experience the hotel, which was a big shame.

Beautiful riverside hotel.

Sue the guide was amazing, very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this food tour, good quality of food including Pisco sours, Ceviche and other Peruvian food.

Compared to our Lima food tour, this was an okay experience. I didn't feel like the food tour quite lived up to my expectations.

Beautiful experience, stunning landscape. Saw loads of Alpaca and Llamas, very scenic route.

Unique cultural and natural experience. Enjoyed our hike and lunch. Uros the floating island was amazing, very interesting to know how the Uros people live.

Loved it! Very scenic breathtaking views. Comfortable and luxurious experience. The entertainment was awesome, we danced to live music and had loads of fun. Food was also good.

Sacred Valley had stunning scenery. Picturesque valley.

Stayed at Star Lodge not Skylodge. Unique experience, highly recommend.

Nice to watch te Pachamanca cooking, the food was delicious. Very interesting to see how they separated the vegetarian food. Beautiful place.

We did the 2 day trek, 7hr hike. It was challenging but definitely achievable. Our tour guide claudio was amazing, very helpful and supportive. Once you reached the sun gate you get this feeling of accomplishment and the view is just out of this world. Truly a magical experience.

We arrived Machu Pichu at sunrise, magical experience. We had to wait 45 minutes for the sunrise but it was definitely worth the wait. Being at Machu Pichu was an awe feeling. Such a calm place, one of the best new wonders of the world.

Watching the Condors fly was amazing, the whole experience was incredible. Very scenic route. Had a fantastic day.

Scared valley via Ferrata, best experience ever. The hike was amazing, the breathtaking views and it felt safe with the guides.

Staying at the Montebelo Mosteiro de Alcobaça Historic Hotel was such a unique experience. Everyone loved the charm of the old monastery, and it definitely stood out as a highlight. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The other accommodations were also more than adequate, clean, and friendly, meeting the diverse needs and financial abilities of our group perfectly.

Attempting an eight-hour guided walking tour in Lisbon's Historic Center can sound daunting, but our guide made it incredibly engaging. He was flexible with the group's needs, allowing for breaks and personal exploration, like when one of our members wanted to venture up a tower. It truly felt tailored to us, enriching our experience immensely.

Our trip through the Douro Valley with a private driver was an unforgettable experience. The vineyard lunch was beyond spectacular, and even though we fell behind schedule, the accommodating staff and our gracious driver ensured it was stress-free. Missing the wine tasting would have been a shame, but everything worked out beautifully.

Great trip. Pierre was an awesome guide. Enjoyed so many aspects of Paris.

OK tour learning about Marseille history

Great trip. Julien was an awesome guide.

This was not a private tour. It was a group tour. We were delayed by 10-15 mins due to a bus route issue. Tried calling agency but they did not pick up the call. The lady at the agency was very rude. She refused to accommodate us in any way. Refused to give guides number. Also said ticket may not work but thankfully it worked. This was a big disappointment.

Final tour was different from St Germain due to food allergy related. Nice tour but details in the tour were not as interesting. Guide was very passionate and very nice.

Top highlights. Amazing experience. Clemence was the best guide of our trip

Wonderful experience

One of the best highlights of trip. Amazing guide and amazing experience.

Great experience visiting 3 villages

Another top highlight of our trip

Gourdon and St Paul Du Vence are awesome.

This was a lovely hotel located in a small village, a bit remote from the hubbub of Cappedocia. It had lovely grounds and the rooms were clean, spacious. However, my one complaint is that having arrived in the dark there was no light on in the room nor was I escorted into my room nor advised there was a platform once you step into the room. Thus, I fell into the room while trying to find a light switch. Having just had hip replacement surgery several months prior, this could have ended badly. Luckily, only my ego got bruised.

Incredibly fascinating the engineering involved to create this water system. Beautiful art installed as well which creates a juxtaposition between history and modern times.
