Kimkim Trip Reviews

Nothing to mention about this hotel. It’s just a place to get some sleep before heading to Macchu Pichu. Our room was above train tracks, noisy, hot, no air conditioning. Bathroom are not properly ventilated so they smell moldy.

This hotel was amazing ! Grounds are beautiful full of trees and flowers! Staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Great customer service and frendly staff, Coleen and Sector were our hosts. Thank you for helping our son with his altitude sickness.

Hotel location is spot on, in the center of the city, very walkable. However hotel is an old building, our room had no windows, heating is not great so it gets chilly.

Felix knows his history and brought the art alive with his stories. Def worth having a guide.

We had a wonderful day with our guide!

The location of this hotel was excellent, they were very accommodating, and the accommodations were good.

Aggie was the owner and operator of this B&B and it was phenomenal. She poured her heart into homemade jams and breakfast even had cookies when we arrived. Our grandson's view was of the castle, and our view was of the Loire river. Spectacular. If we return, we will definitely stay here.

We were told that we couldn't stay in the castle and that the apartment would be our best option. While there was no breakfast being served, they did have jams and cereal and milk and juice in the refrigerator. This morning, they brought by bread and a breakfast roll. That was very special. We weren't able to secure the two back doors, which was a disappointment, nor were we able to contact the office staff directly because no one would answer the phone. The location was excellent. The accommodations were fair.

OK, she was excellent, not far from all activities. Very clean and modest. Met our needs perfectly.

It was a perfect choice for us. We like to be at the airport the night prior to departure. It was a short walk to the international terminal.

The hotel was in a great location. The staff- friendly, professional and helpful. It was clean and met our needs. There were many tour groups with us at the hotel. A more elegant, boutique-type hotel would have been our preference. Breakfast and dinner were provided. The breakfast was excellent and the dinner- we did not realize was part of the package so a bonus. It was a buffet and nothing exceptional, but it served its purpose well.

The tour guide was genuine and passionate about Bergen. The tour was food and culture, but we expected more history of the area as we walked. The fish market and small restaurants on the tour were great, and the selection of food tastings- excellent. Restaurant in the Fish Market that tour guide recommended and it was excellent: Fjellskal

It is a great view of the city at the top! We did not eat at the restaurant at the top but we heard good things about the quality.

We enjoyed our self-guided exploration. We walked up to the summit of Mount Floyd and rode the funicular (known as the Floibanen) down. We also walked around Bryggen, the wharf and the fish market and ended the morning with a hotdog from Hungry Dog.

Norway in a Nutshell Sogenfjord Route: Ferry and train rides from Bergen to Oslo Central Station was stunning and an absolute must! It is a very long day. We wish we would have broken up into 2 days and stayed one night along the way- perhaps at Balestrand or Flam. Flam was very busy with many tourists and cruise ships The Flam train- definitely plan to sit on right side for the views. There are also no reserved seats so get in line early. The Kjosfossen Waterfall- beautiful and definitely worth getting off train to see. Bike riding from Myrdal to Flam would have been a fun activity to include. While visiting Flam, there is luggage storage at the tourist center. The train ride from Myrdal to Oslo- very enjoyable and loved the views along the way. Driver from train station to Oslo airport- professional and enjoyed the conversation.

It was a long day, and we should have researched more. We only had 3 1/2 hours in Rosendale. The tours of the barony and garden did not line up with our time there- we had to select one. There was not enough time to visit the church or to take a hike to the waterfall. Next time, I would plan to spend the night in one of the lovely hotels available. I would also want to explore the National Park. And if time was a concern, I would skip this activity and spend an extra day on the Sogneford Route.

Beautiful hotel.

A bit out of town but was very nice to have the space and the laundry capability.

Beautiful hotel in a nice location. Only 4 stars because of the really odd placement of the bathrooms in the middle of the room with all glass walls. This doesn't work well for siblings or friends in a room together. Breakfast was excellent.

The Sea Kayak Tour on Korčula was really nice. Our guide was attentive and did a great job managing the group, which included another family with younger kids. He made sure everyone kept up and took breaks, offering wine and pastries during stops. The weather was perfect that day, making the kayaking experience enjoyable and not too challenging.

The Gourmet Experience at a Local Winery was a bit disappointing. The food was not what we expected, especially given the heat and the time spent there after a hike. The menu was not ideal, featuring hot soup and risotto, which felt heavy in the heat. Additionally, the service was disrupted when the server had a bloody nose and disappeared for a while, leaving our guide to serve the rest of the meal. Overall, it felt like the experience fell apart a bit.

The Elafiti Islands Private Half Day Speedboat Tour was a lot of fun. It was a great way to explore the area, and I would definitely recommend it. The experience was smooth and enjoyable with no issues.

The Private Island of Hvar Cycling Tour with lunch was fantastic. It took us to the backside of the island, away from the usual party scene, which was beautiful and less crowded. The guides, Gorham who drove us and JJ who led the bike ride, were both very entertaining and knowledgeable. Although it was a very hot day, the experience was enjoyable and the scenery stunning. Lunch was included, and while there was some initial confusion about ordering, Nikola was very responsive and helpful in clarifying things. Overall, I would highly recommend this activity.

The national park was great and Ivana was also excellent. The lunch at the winery was ok. It was very hot out and the food was very hot soup and risotto and not much else and it took a long time and Ivana ended up having to serve lunch because the waitress became ill. Overall it was a very nice day and we really liked Ivana.

The best meal we ate in all of Italy was the cooking class meal we had here! Such a fun experience as well as delicious. Unfortunately, I’m not sure what to say about the restaurant though as our first night’s dinner was so salty neither of us could finish our meals. It made me want to cancel the second night’s meal , but I’m glad we didn’t as the second night’s dinner was delicious. Comfortable rooms and a lovely swimming pool was very relaxing. Gravel walkways to some of the rooms, so if you have trouble walking, select a room carefully

It was nice to have a private boat tour, but we were in one of the taxi boats which are partially enclosed. It’s tricky for those with physical problems to get to the opened back or it’s a little crowded to stay up front with driver. But we did get a very knowledgeable tour guide who went out of the way to make sure we went by something that is special to me.

It was so nice to do something a little different, yet also very authentic

Such a nice unique experience!

They no longer allow golf carts in the heart of Florence, so we did Fiesole. There were nice views, but the main museum was closed. Went to alternate museum that was very small and not well air conditioned. I’d skip this golf cart tour. There were nice views on way up to Fiesole, but not really worth it

Great experience, particularly if you can’t walk well or are in Rome during a heat wave.

Best meal we had in all of Italy!

We loved this tour! Only suggestion is to cut down on the a,punt of food or spread it out over a longer period of time

Beautiful hotel very hugh quality. Very rare level of service provided by the staff.

Really loved the hotel. Great breakfast, clean rooms, extremely attentive staff. Had to dock a star because the fitness room was only a couple treadmills and a stationary bike. That doesn't hold up to what I'd call a proper fitness room.

The Dominican was really good stay, Located at very centre and prime spot. The room was spacious and well occupied with all the facilities. Staff were really helpful and friendly. I felt really comfortable and safe staying here. On top of it, the interior and history of the hotel was also very interesting and as an Art nerd, I found it really fascinating. I never had breakfast or any food from the hotel though, so no comment on that.

A nice and beautiful place to relax, very well and beautifully maintained, a photo spot for sure

Visiting the castle was intersting and the audio tour was fun. It is quite a short item and not a must have in my opinion

This is another day trip that was absolutely tailored to my interests of architecture, history and art. The St.Peter's Church visit was everything I wanted as an art and history enthusiat. University visit as well was really good. The botanical garden was a really beautiful and nice place to relax after

Ghent travel was very scenic and absolutely beautiful. Liked it

This is one of the best experience of the trip. My guide was really friendly, knowledgable and really really interesting to spent time with. By the time of this event, I have been in Brussels for almost 4 days and have been to majority of the tourist places and experiences. But he quickly adapted to that, enquired about my intersts and personality, and took me to places , which are not the common tourist places, that fit my interests. Both for food and sights. And as somenone who is interested in history and general politics, he was able to answer many of my queries regarding Belgium and many things related to it, which made a really interesting evening. Really thankful for this experience.

Convenient location adjacent to airport

The Hurtigruten was really nice. The food was excellent

All our guides were excellent and helpful

Unbelievable achievement. Inspiring.

Would definitely recommend this cruise to get a fuller picture of Oslo

Our guide was excellent.
