Kimkim Trip Reviews

Easy check in, room was ready when we arrived at 11am (huge after an international redeye!), staff was friendly, location was good, breakfast was a nice touch.

Loved it! Food was great, room was comfortable, amenities were very nice.

Our tickets had been cancelled with no explanation

Close to everything, amazing breakfast, beautiful hotel.

Hotel was drop-dead gorgeous. Amazing breakfasts. Views were amazing.

This was a cottage right on the water. Awesome views!! The proprietor, she treated us like family and gave us a big hug when we left. Amazing experience.

The rooms in this hotel were tiny and stuffy. However, breakfasts were fabulous, and the view of downtown Oslo was without compare!

The views, the cliffs, the waterfalls. We felt like we were in a living postcard. My wife has some disabilities, and the staff were very helpful in getting on the boat safely.

Accommodations were clean, staff was friendly and accommodating, restaurant food was delicious.

Quaint , staff was friendly and accommodating, excellent breakfast.

Loved the authenticity, staff was friendly and accommodating. Excellent location.

Our guide Florin was outstanding. Went above and beyond on all excursions. Found unique restaurants.

Travel was exceptional. Our guide Florin and the lovely Mercedes we had made the trip comfortable. Florin took extra time to make sure our excursions were timed so that we weren't with crowds and could enjoy the activities.

Florin made sure ou r entry was coordinated so that we had plenty of time to visit without large groups. We were practically by ourselves and could enjoy the attractions thoroughly.

Unbelievable, spectacular attraction, highly recommend for future travelers.

Quaint town, the churches were breathtaking. Florin coordinated everything perfectly.

Our trip was prepared flawlessly by Irenne and the KimKim staff. Our airport pickup worked well even though our flight was delayed. Florin met us on our first day and we enjoyed our introduction to Romania.

Our last day with Florin and Romania was a wonderful way to finish our journey with KimKim. The museum tour is highly recommended to end your Romanian adventure. Followed up by a traditional lunch that we throughly enjoyed. Irenne was fabulous with coordinating throughout the trip.

Felt luxe, and everything was quite nice, but lacked personality. Good location and an excellent breakfast.

We LOVED this charming little hotel. It was a perfect place to spend our first nights halfway across the world.

For a huge hotel they did a good job. Beach town vibes. Not fancy, and some of the choices in the rooms were odd, but pleasant enough, and well situated.

Sebastian was amazing!

This is a challenging hike! We enjoyed it but it was VERY hot and we probably shouldn't have done it during the heat wave.

Perfectly lovely in every way

Unexpectedly moving. Loved learning about Korea from a musical lens.

Jino was a delight. Such a kind and sweet young man. We loved seeing Busan with his perspective.

Jimmie was fun and interesting - loved hearing about his mother's diving, and appreciated all of his recommendations. The Arte Museum was an unexpectedly awesome experience.

Beautiful hotel, great location and great breakfast. Only complaint was I wish the rooms with ocean views were open. (they were under construction)

Beautiful glamping in the desert- and best of all the domes have air conditioning.

Beautiful riad that was walking distance to all the souks. Staff was amazing-friendly, incredibly helpful and kind.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Essaouira and the history of Morocco. Loved learning all about the history of the country. (I believe his name was Hassan)

Fun food tour. Biggest complaint is that we didn't realize that we were going to multiple places. We started at a roof top restaurant and had tagine and cous cous and all filled up thinking that was dinner. To our surprise we then went to multiple food vendors and we were stuffed so did not get to try the snails and missed out on other dishes. Wish they had warned us!

Enjoyed hiking, LOVED the ride down on the donkeys, and enjoyed a nice Berber meal. My only comment is that I thought we were eating with the Berber family and would get to talk to them. We ate alone and only briefly saw the woman and child of the house. I think it would have been cooler to get to know the Berber family, learn about their day, life in the village, etc.

Pretty place to take pictures

The stable was a bit rough looking and would not be easy to get to if you have mobility issues. We passed several nicer looking riding stables that would be a better fit for Kimkim's upscale service.

This place was amazing. Had one of the best massages ever.

The staff was exceptional and jumped at the chance to exceed our every whim. The rooms were very spacious and clean. The bar, parking, patio, and bicycles made the time spent there just perfect. Great location making it an easy walk to local shops and restaurants.

A do it yourself tour with a provided route and phone. Yet the app is in Portugese.

Exceptional guides who enjoyed the ride as much as us and explained every step and detail. The certificate and toast after made it that much more special.

A nice overview of the wine and food. Lacked context about locations, route, and selections.

Terry our guide was so good. The full day spent venturing went by so fast. We learned so much about Kyoto.

This was a life saver, as if you are coming from a city with no transport, getting on the train system in Japan may seem over whelming, but having a guide help you get the basics and rhythm of how it works is worth it.

Shu is the best

Absolutely beautiful hotel with a warm attentive staff. Definitely have dinner here one night. The food was delicious and the service impeccable.

A gorgeous boutique hotel, just a few blocks from the beach and the marina. The staff was very welcoming and the food was delicious.

Thank you Hassan for a wonderful guided tour of your home city. Fes was one of our favorite stops on this tour.

Seeing Ait Benhaddou, featured in so many movies and shows we love was a must for us. But I don't think the tour guide provided as much insight as we received on our other tours.

Seeing this iconic location featured in so many movies and shows we love was a must for us. But I don't think the tour guide provided as much insight as we received on our other tours.

Come hungry. By the end of the tour we could barely eat another bite. It was a great mix of savory and sweet snacks. Our guide was fun and very knowledgeable.

Great way to see downtown Reykjavik and be introduced to Icelandic foods.

This hotel is in a great location. Close walking distance to restaurants and shopping. The lobby is very nice and we enjoyed the hotel bar on several nights. Staff were very friendly and washing machines were free to use. However we were not thrilled about our room. There was hair on the floor in our bathroom and finger smudges on the mirror. You could also tell that someone had smoked in the room at some point even though it was a "non smoking" room. Bed was firm (which I don't mind as much), but it seems most are in China are (at least at the hotels we stayed at).

This hotel is a great location - close walking distance to several bars and restaurants. Very elegant and modern. We particularly enjoyed the complimentary supply of water bottles. One of the better hotels we stayed at on our trip.

Very pretty hotel with a nice lobby and bar area. Rooms were very nice but we had an issue with our room smelling BADLY of cigarette smoke even though it was a "non smoking " room. It seemed to pick up when the fan was turned on. We asked the front desk for another room, which they kindly helped us with - but once we turned on the fan in that room....same cigarette smell. This was very disappointing given how nice the hotel looked.

This hotel has a great location near the lakes in Guilin. Very convenient walk to restaurants and bars near the hotel. The hotel itself was nice, but the rooms were a little musty. This was likely due to the humidity the local areas see.

Very nice hotel and in a great location to restaurants and bars. There is an amazing view out the back of the hotel at the river and surrounding hills. The hotel is very modern and elegant. However our friend did have unclear sheets upon our arrive. Very disappointing for such a nice hotel.

This hotel was in a good location near restaurants and access the riverside. However upon our arrival to our room we noticed the floors were very dirty and the bathroom area smelled of sewage. Very nice sized rooms, but the cleanliness of the room was very disappointing.

Great location. Comfortable rooms. One of the better hotels we stayed at on our trip.

Great location. Comfortable rooms (although we did have to ask for a mattress topper due to VERY firm mattress). I would recommend this hotel to future guests.

Seeing the Great Wall was perhaps the highlight of our entire trip. Definitely recommend.

We loved seeing the pandas.

We really enjoyed our time in Fenghuang. Particularly the river boat ride and grabbing some drinks in the evening along the riverside. Furong is much smaller and would not recommend staying there for too long. Waterfalls are beautiful. Get in, get your photos and head out.

We had a great time visiting both the Forbidden City and Hutong areas. Both sites are worth visiting. We ended up going back to the Hutong area in the evening for some drinks and shopping.

Seeing the local food markets was fine and the Temple of Heaven was nice. We were in the market for maybe 5 minutes. We did enjoy seeing the morning workout area where the locals meet. However we would not recommend going out of your way to see the food market.

We enjoyed our cruise down the Li River. Seats on the boat were very comfy - although we spent most of our time on the top deck outside site seeing as we cruised down the river.

Highlight of the trip. Beautiful national park.

Grand Canyon was a little cheesy. It was cool to walk across the glass bridge, but the zipline and slide were just okay. The zipline limited your speed and the slide got backed up due to too many people being allowed at once. The boat ride at the bottom of the canyon could be skipped. Tianmen mountain was one of the coolest things we did on our trip. Beautiful area. Highly recommend. You MUST walk up the 999 steps.

We would honestly skip this. Mostly seeing old bank buildings and a overcrowded garden area.

Very cool to see and learn about the warriors, but got very repetitive after the first couple chambers. Still would highly recommend going, but have appropriate expectations.

Very nice golf course. We met the general manager upon walking in (Jack) who was incredibly helpful getting us set up and going. Our guide was not very familiar with golf or the check in process so this was a helpful coincidence.

Very good! One of the best meals on the trip. Highly recommend.

Thought this would be something else. Pretty cave system, but very cheesy and relatively small. The elephant trunk hill area was very underwhelming.

The show was very nice, but the food was expensive and not that great. They bring out several plates of dumplings with all sorts of fillings, but most of the time they were not hot. We had better dumplings elsewhere.

Very good. One of our better meals on the trip.

We chose to rent scooters and had a lovely time riding down the trail parallel to the river.

Amazing views. Excellent location. Will definitely return.

Amazing view of the Acropolis. Excellent location to walk everywhere we wanted to visit. Small, quaint, boutique style hotel.

Beautiful hotel with private rooms and pools- although we couldn’t use the pool because the water was freezing, we still enjoyed the view.

Love the privacy this hotel offers. We had a private pool with sea view. Couldn’t use pool because the water was extremely cold. Very quiet in mid September, but prefer that vibe. Best lounge chairs on the patio AND beach.

Excellent tour. Very knowledgeable private guide. We learned a ton and enjoyed our conversations. Highly recommend.

Probably one of my favorite events of our trip. Excellent staff. They even made snacks, seafood pasta lunch and dessert. We spent the entire day on the water, swimming, snorkeling , lounging and having a fun and relaxing time. Highly recommend!

Alex and our driver were the best! We enjoyed the entire day learning about the history of Naxos, pottery workshop, shopping in beautiful villages, and even had a lunch at a local tavern. A perfect day!

What a pleasant surprise. We did not know what to expect with a hiking tour, and we r would do it all over again! Our guide was energetic, knowledgeable and showed us some of the most spectacular views in Santorini! We also ended our 6 mile hike with a delicious dinner in Fira!

We highly recommend starting off your trip in Athens with a food tour. The food and experience were excellent. We also had the opportunity to meet a few other travelers given this was a small group tour!

A great way to learn about the landmarks in Mykonos. Wish the main part of town was part of the mix, but overall very happy with our experience.

Everyone was very happy and helpful. Will definitely be staying at the ana y josē hotel again!

Didn't go

We loved this hotel! Very nice is comfortable!

It was Clean and sufficient, but it needs to be updated. The locks on the door were difficult to manage and the bed head towels in place of sheets. It was very strange!

This was really nice, even though we had to do it in the rain! Our guide was extremely informed and fun too!

We loved going to the island of VIS, the blue cave, and HVAR. The boat ride was HORRIBLE! Super loud music and we came home drenched!

The park was amazing!

Very nice!

We loved Mostar! So interesting and picturesque!

Our guide was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable and had a real passion for the city.

The food was incredible and the owners so accommodating and friendly.

Great location. Next to train station
