Kimkim Trip Reviews

Perfect location! The most amazing breakfast ever! Only minor issue is the room was a bit small and no ventilation.

Very pretty and great location! Wonderful staff and the breakfast was so good’

Terrific location! Particularly lovely bar with great casual dining.

I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the hotel as soon as we arrived. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. We enjoyed having a glass of wine in the afternoon and taking in the incredible scenery from the deck!

Loved the fact that the hotel was a little bit away from the harbor. The extra space made it feel like a small apartment which was nice to be able to spread out. It’s close to a small farm with a restaurant which was very nice.

It was very nice to see the city from the water at night all lit up with lights. The food was just ok.

This is a must!!

We were overwhelmed with the beauty of the gardens. The food was delicious

Best breakfast. Stylish and great atmosphere. Comfortable lobby with great bar.

Very educational and friendly tour guide

This tour guide, Justin, was authentic and knowledgeable. He asked us great questions about what we wanted to learn and then focused the tour to satisfy those questions. I would do this tour again!

We still talk about Heike, our tour guide, and what a delight she was to walk and talk with. We would happily do this tour again. She gave us all the interesting tidbits and and made the long history understandable and relatable.

Lucie booked us a hotel within walking range of the beautiful Rhine river, and amazing Cathedral. Having our free time to absorb the sights and history of the city at our own pace was highly appreciated.

Had a fine experience. Met all expectations. Many thanks to the bus driver!

Good drinks. Exactly what we were looking for.

This hotel was super close to all the restaurant and the water.

loved loved loved this hotel. The breakfast buffet was the best I ever had. The view to the Acropolis from the restaurant was amazing and the hotel was walkable to attractions and other restaurants.

This hotel was nice but not close to the old town or attractions. Super close to the beach. I liked the events they offered - bbq dinner and lobster dinner - both with entertainment.

This hotel was nice but a little remote from town. We only stayed one night so it was not a bother.

tour guide was fabulous. She pointed out historical monuments along the way and gave us extra time with her.

Maria was amazing and so knowledgeable.

tour guide was wonderful and knowledgable.

Very enlightening about the history of this island

This was awesome. The lunch was top notch as were the crew. The water is so crystal clear and we went to the island early when the crowds were less.

the boat ride was a little bumpy but that had to do with the boat style.

We loved this hotel. Everyone was very friendly and the decor was so cute! It was walkable to the town and had spectacular views. The fish and chips were hands down the best we had during the entire 2 weeks in the UK. The breakfast was also probably the best one we had. The only reason I'm not giving 4 stars is that we had to wait for our room for a couple of hours even though we arrived at the correct time for checking in.

The best part about this hotel is its location. We were able to walk to many restaurants and nearby sights. Overall I'm glad we stayed here. Maybe there are other nicer hotels in Cardiff but I didn't see anything that looked better.

This hotel was so cute and comfy!

We were only here a very short time but it was close to the park, which was nice.

This hotel feels a little more like a hostel and we were a little worried when we first checked in. The first room they put my son and I in there wasn't even room to walk with the suitcases. They did move us to a slightly bigger room and we were comfortable enough. My mom had a room at the end of a hall that was much bigger. In short, the rooms are very basic. All that being said, I get why we stayed there. The location was walkable from the train station and it was situated near many good restaurants and places of interest. The staff was VERY helpful, kind, and accommodating. Overall it was a good experience once we learned more about Inverness being the main jumping off point to the Highlands with lots of tourists. I saw nicer places but they were far from all of the action. We had no car so this was a pretty good option.

Gareth was a terrific guide and fun to talk to. He was so patient and answered all of our questions. We loved walking along the River Wye and exploring the cute towns. The Abbey and the castle were very interesting. My son got the best haircut of his life across from Caerphilly Castle thanks to Gareth's suggestion!

We really enjoyed our day with Rikki and he took us to some really beautiful places. We especially loved the walk out toward the ocean beside the cliffs at Rhosili. The lunch spot he took us to was excellent and we enjoyed traveling on many of the backroads of the Gower Peninsula and seeing historic homes and gorgeous flowers and landscapes.

Phil was an excellent tour guide and fun to talk to. We covered a lot of ground in one day and saw some incredibly beautiful sights. He was also very flexible and kind and made a couple stops when needed.

Our driver was very nice but this was a little bit less of a personable tour than others. It was cool to see the Kelpies and we enjoyed the tour of Stirling castle by one of the guides there. I was expecting to actually see Loch Lomond but only saw a tiny beach and a small dock that we weren't allowed to enter, so I wouldn' t say by any stretch that this is a tour of Loch Lomond. It was just a quick stopover for a snack, I guess.

Our guide, Emery was amazing! This tour was a lot of fun and the food and drink was delicious! I loved all of the little quaint restaurants she took us to. My son and I really enjoyed it!

Absolutely amazing day with Niall! This was definitely the highlight of our trip to the Highlands mainly because of Niall's knowledge, enthusiasm, and kindness! He made it a very special and memorable day for us all. He made lots of extra arrangements so that my elderly mother could enjoy this experience, as well. The gardens of Balmoral were so breathtaking. We have to chuckle a little bit that with a basic entrance ticket you really don't get to see much of the castle, just a display room. The special part of the visit is to see the awesome gardens. We enjoyed a nice lunch in the cute town of Ballater and made some stops at special places of interest on the way back. Niall is a true Highlands Man and he has so much to share about his family and the history of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with him and learning from him!

We loved Amanda and had a fun but short tour with her! After driving all day from Cardiff to Conwy, we appreciated that Amanda was very flexible with us needing to start the tour a little late. She was incredibly accommodating and kind and a really delightful person to spend time with. We enjoyed our tour and learning about the cute town of Conwy. She really brought the history to life with her amazing storytelling!

Jack was a terrific tour guide showing us around Old Town Edinburgh and bringing us to the castle. He had a great understanding of the history of the area and shared so much of it with us.

This was our last day so we were a little tired. I think that if you are very interested in Scottish history and the battles, that Culloden would be a very important tour. I liked the mysterious Clava Cairns the best, though it was a very short part of our tour. I was happy to see Loch Ness, but we only experienced it as a drive by on the road and we only saw the Urquart castle from the distance. I felt a little misled as the title of the tour implied that the castle was very important but a decision was made to go to Cawdor Castle instead. It ended up being very interesting and had spectacular gardens that we enjoyed very much.

Perfect location to walk almost anywhere and easy to access many restaurants. Every employee we encountered at the hotel was amazing! Breakfast was amazing with many options to choose from.

This hotel is BEAUTIFUL!!! Our hosts made us feel like family and our room was wonderful with amazing views. We were visiting other islands but I wish we could have stayed here the whole time, I was sad to leave.

Perfect location in the heart of Milos to access everything! Taxis, bus, car & atv rental, restaurants, bars and shopping are right there. We encountered the same employees every day which felt very personal. This might sound weird but I LOVED the layout of the bathroom in our room; I'm a huge fan of the toilet being separate from the sink and shower. I also loved the interior design of the whole building. Breakfast was also delicious!

Beautiful hotel and perfect location to walk to beach and numerous amazing restaurants. It was also very close to the bus stop which takes you almost anywhere on the island.

Beautiful hotel! We were here for less than 24 hours before we caught a very early flight out of Athens. We informed them we'd be checking out in the early morning so they packed us a breakfast! What an amazing and kind personal touch and was much appreciated.

Guide was excellent, fun & very knowledgeable.

Spiros was an excellent captain, very generous with his time & knowledge. He was also very flexible & showed consistent concern for our comfort & safety

We had already done quite a bit in previous tours and realized we did not need this tour. Hercules was great, he just didn’t have a lot to share with us.

Panos was an excellent guide & we thoroughly enjoyed all the historical knowledge and scenic places we visited. The only drawback was the end of night meal. We were the only people in the restaurant which was awkward and our main meal was just pasta with chicken.

Stratos was an excellent guide and we enjoyed all the various experiences. My only suggestion is that it did feel a little long, and I think the honey tasting could be removed. The olive oil tasting lunch wine, tasting, and visiting the villages was spectacular.

The breakfast here was so good and I loved the extra treats.

The only thing is not having breakfast on site but making sure we had breakfast with our traveling partners on the balcony was perfect t

It was FABULOUS!! 10:10 my favorite activity.

We couldn’t have had a better driver. Our tour was an absolute blast. So much so we booked another one with the same driver

It was so so much walking. A lot. So many stairs.

We had an absolute blast in this however it was an hour too long.

A lot of climbing for people who were jet lagged. Would have loved to have done this the next morning when I was fresh but it was till amazing

Good location. Lovely rooftop for meals and/or a drink with views of the Blue Mosque - especially nice at night

The hotel overlooks the small harbor and has a real buzz about it. We were able to swim in the sea which was a bonus. The staff were friendly and helpful. We ate at the hotel restaurant next to the water and which had an overwhelming choice of meze.

Lovely small boutique hotel with friendly and helpful staff. It has a great outlook over the waterfront.

We took the cable car up to the top which was an adventure in itself . In the Hellenistic and Roman period Pergamon was a major centre with a far -reaching kingdom and we learned so much from Volkan. The theatre is incredibly steep and could house 10000 people. Going through a 'subway' to enter it be careful not to bump your head . Because it was extremely hot we didn't spend as much time as we would have liked.

This was our first day with Volkan as our guide. He expertly took us to the various locations rescheduling flexibly as it was terribly hot and we waned to avoid big crowds. His knowledge throughout our trip astounded us! We enjoyed all the sites that day : Hippodrome , Grand Bazaar , The Sultans Palace, Hagia Sophia and finally the Basilica Cisterns which was definitely a highlight.

This was our second day in Istanbul encompassing the Spice Bazaar and the boat trip along the Bosphorus. The highlight was definitely a visit to The Blue Mosque which is astonishing in its architecture and decoration.

It was amazing to walk through this site and imagine its construction in the 6th century by the Romans. Our guide gave us interesting facts and pointed out the Medusa heads used as column bases!

There was a short walk through the quaint village and up to the top . The view at the site of the temple was quite spectacular - the view of the Aegean and Lesbos. One can imagine that was why they chose that spot to construct it.

A highlight was learning about the Maeander River ( from which we get the word 'meander') and how it silted up over time thus preventing access to the sea which had been Miletus's key advantage. It is well-known as a home of many Greek philosophers.

Perfect location. Updated and beautiful

One of the nicest hotels I've stayed in. Absolutely beautiful. Lots of small touches that made it so nice. Views were amazing

It was a very nice boutique hotel. Good location. Steep hill to get to. You get used to it.

We didn't arrive until 2 AM, but they had someone there waiting for us!

Fun hotel in a great location

Fun place right by the train station so we wouldn't get lost!

Loved being over the water

Really fun place right in the heart of Bergen

Best food ever!

Loved our little hotel. They have dinner there which we loved. They even held it when we were running late.

Our guide was so fun

Even though it was a larger group, our guide held us together well! Plus, we saw Musk Ox. Beautiful land

Guide was amazing. She showed us all around the city and made it personal to our Minnesota roots.

We had to cut our paddling short due to weather, but the guides did their job and made sure we were safe.

Beautiful. Love having the electric boat as it was so quiet

One of our favorite activities. There was no one else at the Stegastein viewpoint (and that is rare)

Got to see the city through the eyes of a local

View from the restaurant was incredible.

Hotel itself was beautiful, our room was disappointing

The tour guide was very good, very knowledgeable and sensitive to the fact that it was a brutally hot day. She tried to find shade whenever she could.

The driver was very accommodating and helpful.

Maria was incredible. What a terrific ambassador for Greece. We learned so much about the food, customs and traditions of the Greek people. This was an absolutely wonderful tour and totally delightful. It's easily one the highlights of our trip.

This was advertised as a six hour tour and it was over in three and a half hours. For much of the tour the driver was on his cell phone conducting what we assumed was personal business. Unlike other tour guides, he was not very accommodating. We indicated an interest in seeing the town, a request he could have easily accommodated since we were running well ahead of schedule and while he offered to drop us off it was begrudgingly and then suggested he's send somebody else to pick us up.

There should be a better way of transporting people to and from the catamaran. We spend over an hour on the bus between the pick up and drop off.

This tour was a nice introduction to Santorini. It was helpful to do it on the first night we arrived because it gave us a good feel for the island and how we wanted to spend our time there.

It was brutally hot so we were not able to fully appreciate the local markets.

We didn't complete this because it was difficult terrain getting from our hotel to town and our jeep driver who could have helped us get there and back did not.

Location was excellent, but the hotel left a bit to be desired. Clean, but showing some age.

5 stars doesn't even do it justice. A pricy option, but worth the splurge. The grounds, food, and staff are second to none! The resort also provided free transportation all over the island.

Highly recommend. We were able to get up close with a koala and feed kangaroos and emu. A really great "behind the scenes" tour led by a zookeeper.

We were on the Ocean Free which is a sailboat. It was awesome. Toni did a great job on the guided scuba dive as well. Would certainly repeat!

This is a comfortable and conveniently located hotel, and the staff are wonderfully helpful and informative.

This is a charming hotel, with sweeping views, ready access to the university and old town, and a lovely courtyard.

This hotel is beautifully situated; has fantastic views, welcome swimming pools, and a wine cellar; and is conveniently located for visiting the winelands

This hotel is part of a chain, but is located in an historic building near to the old core of the city. It boasts several swimming pools.

Pedro was amazingly knowledgeable and engaging and expertly tailored his comments to our particular interests.

The Sandeman cellars are a short walk from the hotel, and the tour and tasting were both engaging and very informative. We had an excellent guide in James.

This is a short but worthwhile experience. Our young guide was enormously knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as about viticulture, wines, and the local economy.

This was an amazing experience. The meal was great, the staff exceptionally friendly and funny, and the wine tasting was most informative and enjoyable.
