Kimkim Trip Reviews

It was a production - Las Vegas show I cannot understand. We thought it would be a more retro show - but I guess they have to compete with everybody else and offer something spectacular. Hundred costume changes - good feats of strength (contortionist freaked us out!)

Did not do this - but went to Musee des Artes et Metiers instead. Very cool museum dedicated to vintage science and technology - as only the French can do it. Beautiful housing and displays.

As I said in the summary review - campy and touristy - but you should do it. The the lit bridges and buildings were beautiful from the water. Also getting a peek at the party and private boats along the water - seeing how the Monied party in Paris. Singer was great, food very good, service passable. But you do this for the sightseeing at night.

Wasn't worth the effort to get there. Lots of transient vendors selling the same old junk - not sure anybody was buying. Found the brick and mortar antique shops in the area - nice stuff - but no deals.

Interesting area and shops. Also an amazing restaurant (again with the duck burger.)

Beautiful facility and museum. Museum has great explanations of how they acquired the holdings - some of which are extremely rare. A quite way to spend an few hours before lunch.

Our guide from Avignon - Emile - was very pleasant, and the bird sanctuary was very interesting - but there was a lot of driving involved. The jeep tour from Aigues-Mortes was OK - but it is primarily ag land - we see a lot of that at home! The city (Aigues-Mortes) is completely walled and in good shape. Neat town.

We did learn much about wine in the Rhone river valley - ChatduPape being the star. Both houses different approach to the same product. Interesting

Sunday afternoon - cra cra. People everywhere. Monday morning - pleasant walk about till around 11:00 when the buses started arriving.

Pont du Gard - amazing. Saint Remy - meh Les Baux - had a nice Aperol spritz -

A beautiful and vibrant valley in rural France - with may hilltop villages. E-bikes were the way to go.

Mostly a drive to a seaside village - but the boat trip is a must if you go.

This was our favorite guide - Stephane. Really provided us a great introduction to Paris and French food and French culture. Well thought out organization of the tour, and we were taken to some seriously legit food purveyors (candies, pastries, bread, cheese, and meats.) Additionally - we've been on food tours before where the guide promises to send all the information on where we went and what we ate - Stefane followed through and actually did it.

Good tour - lots of time in the car driving to Reims and back to Paris. But tour guide did take us to two distinctly different champagne houses in the area: one producing 15000 bottles/year - and one 10000 bottle a DAY. If you like champagne both places are worth seeing. Our guide Enzo shared his Paris dining guide (Google Map) and this is how I found out about duck burgers!

Really a lovely museum with some really impressive works of art. But be ready for a hundred Instagram posers looking for that perfect shot in front of the Monet. It gets annoying - try to find a really really slow day to go!

The location is near the center of Ginza so lots of convenient shopping/dining.

This hotel is convenient to the Hommachi train station and is centrally located for all of your Osaka activities. We had a Superior Double Room and the accommodations are cozy but comfortable.

I wish we could have stayed here longer. Our room was spectacular, with a private onsen on our balcony, overlooking Hell Valley and the beautiful color-changing foliage! The Premium Twin room was spacious, the amenities were first-class and the Kaiseki dinner and set breakfast were out of this world.

We had a Deluxe King room which had a little sitting space. The team at this property was so welcoming and helpful. We took advantage of the in-room massages with Naomi and she did an outstanding job with relaxing us after a long day of sightseeing. Their Sugi Spa is beautifully designed. There is a dry sauna and a cold plunge, which was extra enjoyable to unwind with.

This property is centrally located with lots to do in the area and easy to get to the train station. Make sure to take time to enjoy the beautiful onsen! There's a nice quiet space next to the onsen that overlooks the city. The breakfast buffet was well done as well.

We had a great time experiencing the local foods with Hide!

We went to see a couple of the shows at Date Jidaimura, the Samurai show along with a Geisha show. Both were interesting and the staff did a nice job. Jenny helped capture some nice photos of us and took us to the foot bath near Hell Valley.

We really enjoyed seeing the Pond and Falls. We happened to catch it on a good day when the sun was out but I understand that the color changes with the weather so you may want to be mindful of that.

Although the weather was a bit rainy and cold, it was still beautiful!

We had a personalized experience, making a key chain as well as a tray and the overall experience was fun and we came away with a couple of useful souvenirs. It would have been nice to know the relevance of the leather to Otaru.

We loved learning more about Sapporo with Jenny! We were able to see many different sights and Jenny was helpful and made it a fun experience!

Cool art. Art deco

Fabulous favorite hotel entire trip.

Good location dark and dated

Great location

Josef was a great historian and guide

Antonio was amazing!

Helpful and informative

On our own for one day then shirt tour next am.

Great day trip.

Fun tour!

Cure place. The pool was under renovations when we went

A large hotel, one block from the water, near many restaurants, and a short walk to city sites. We were welcomed with alacrity.

Pamukkale’s draws visitors to thermal waters and ancient ruins. The Doğa Hotel was located nearby and had pools for guests.

Standard large hotel on the outskirts of Konya.

The decor of this hotel was more like a gorgeous curated home. With an entry, spacious bathroom, and bedroom with a sitting area, it was enormous. Breakfast was authentic Turkish cuisine, delicious. Staff gave us tips on where to eat nearby.

The Bank Hotel is in a former bank building on the financial street, so it has lots of character and it is beautifully designed and decorated inside. The location allowed easy proximity to many areas in the city. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Staff was attentive.

Organized and thorough bathing experience. My skin was smooth and moisturized afterwards. The refurbished building is gorgeous.

A trip to Istanbul would be incomplete without a visit to these sites. The above ground train got us there easily and our guide, Volcan, gave us the history of the place as well as key spots for pictures. A nearby restaurant was suggested and it was delicious.

Very good hotel, excelent breakfast; good facilities and grounds. Good central location. Helpful staff.

One of the best hotels we've stayed in around the world! Excellent room with Outstanding views, private patio, endless breakfast buffet. Excellent chpice of onsite restauramts. very helpful staff.

Good room and GREAT breakfast. Good central location.

Good room, great breakfast, helpful staff.

The highlight of our time in Lisboa. Great full day with wonderful sights, great lunch restaurant, and great guide.

This is a cannot miss activity for Posrtugal! Good food and woderful music!

Highlight of our aalgarve trip. This was Outstanding!

Joel is an excellent guide with thorough knowledge of Lisboa. Always helpful

Great rooms so close to the airport. Made our one night layover perfect before starting home. The restaurant seemed very understaffed at dinner leading to some ppl getting upset. We luckily didn’t have anywhere else to be so no issue for us. Breakfast was great.

Loved staying at the snow hotel for the experience! Once in a lifetime! Wish there had been a little more explanation at check in about what to expect but they did have a tour and explanation for everyone later in the day. They do have a lounge that was very private if you can’t get sleep in the snow hotel you can go there to get warm or more comfortable

Great state rooms. Great food. The staff were very accommodating. The views were amazing!

Great place to stay. Centrally located. Great food.

Great hotel. Close to most things. Staff were very helpful

Great location. Close to lots of food options and right on the river.

Such great character! The people were friendly and everything was clean. Short walk to everywhere

Easy walk to most of the major sights. Staff was nice and food was awesome!

So cozy with great views!

Great time. The traps are pre-baited and you ride out and watch them pull the traps up. So many crabs!! And eating them was obviously amazing

The dogsledders are so nice and helpful. The dogs were friendly and loved to get attention. Amazing experience!

Great tour with amazing guides! The views of the glacier were amazing.

Maxim was an amazing guide who has lived in Longyearbyen for many years. Very knowledgeable

The Sami were so friendly and have such amazing history.

Great views of the city by boat. We really enjoyed hearing about the history and seeing the sights

For us, seeking a luxury trip experience, this was just so-so. But great location with amazing views.

From the moment we entered reception we were not happy. We were trying to book a luxury trip to Norway and this was clearly a budget hotel. Not at all what we wanted. And our first room was a dungeon looking at the side of the adjoining building. kimkim customer service was able to get us an upgraded room that was much better but we still found NOTHING to like about this place. Terrible way to start our trip to Norway.

Wow wow wow! This is a great lodge in an ideal wilderness setting. Great views- Yes, great staff- Yes, gourmet food- Yes! We loved this place.

Another excellent excursion. It was great to learn more about the Saami people and customs, but really cool to be able to feed a herd of reindeer (40-50?).

We should not have gone on this excursion. It was a run down , cramped boat with a rag tag crew. And very unsafe. We felt like this should not be offered by kimkim.

One of our top 3 experiences in Norway. Boy we loved this. It is located in a very scenic spot. They had a very friendly and helpful staff but more importantly some 170 dogs! And we got plenty of time to play with them. And the provided lunch was very good and delivered in a very nice traditional building.

Yes- we finally saw the northern lights! Very nice tour boat and crew. The dinner was good, Even though they had a large crowd on board the boat was big enough to not feel crowded.

We are conflicted on this. The weather was far less than optimal- it was snowing. So we ended up driving around in a van for 3 hours basically doing nothing. For any lights "hunt" the issue is what to do when the weather is just not cooperating. Like no chance of seeing lights.

Wow, one of the coolest experiences we have ever had on vacation! Our captain was just amazing.

Our guide, Arne, was the best guide we have ever had. We had a great day with him. He is a local and was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and really treated us as VIP's. And we were surprised at how much we enjoyed the visit to Viking village.

Fernando was an excellent guide even though he is from Ecuador (how is this a local?)

Fun thing to do and great views.

Fernando was an excellent guide and we enjoyed the tour.

Our favorite hotel

This was my least favorite hotel. The room was very small and basic. Not what I expected at all

Too long

The host questioned our tip level. Told us it wasn’t enough. Overcharged us for drinks

Kai was excellent

Excellent experience. Our family was delighful and made sure we had an interpreter to heighten our experience.

We did not stay here. Was very close brushing when our driver dropped us at an apt building that did not indicate it was lodging. N one greeted us. All communications were via text or phone calls as we waited to hear that the hotel had double booked. Had to lug our luggage 7 blocks to an apt . Directions to enter the outer doors let alone the apt were not clear. Apt was lovely nice we were settled.

In Travestre, where the locals live. Was a great experience… had a fantastic room with a beautiful terrace.

Charm , creativity Fort and views of Tuscany! Would stay here next time we are in country

Paid attention to our needs. Had trouble with plumbing (not unusual in Venice) resolved with ease and finesse . So very gracious. Hotel was clean mfortable and accessible to all we did.

Claudio listened to our request to see his Rome. Just a fantastic tour

The tour was fabulous. A must do. Our scheduled ride to the estate did not show up. A British couple took pity on us and brought us to the estate for the tour. We were told at the estate that we needed a driver to take us to the truffle hunting forest. Other guests took pity on us yet again and gave us a ride. Make sure a driver is assigned to the guest for the entire day eliminating the “pity part” aspect. Otherwise, that activity was enchanting.

Not sure f anyone ever said they did not enjoy Tuscany. Enchanting!

We learned so very much from our guide. She was engaging and entertained my historical questions and comment.

When can we go again? This is a must do when in Florence.

Best activity n the water! Skip the gondola rides. This is Italy. Wished we had known prior that this was a female owned nonprofit whose mission is to preserve the art f bateaux rowing.

Truly enjoyed our visit and so appreciative of the thee members of our party understand our tardiness. We had a lovely time with our guide. He was an excellent host providing food and wine pairing details along with historical perspectives. A delightful evening.
