Kimkim Trip Reviews

Near the train station with good breakfast.

Very difficult to find using Google maps.

It was a nice location but with the rain the outside onsen flooded. The bathroom was rather dated.

Beautiful location by the river.

They picked us up at the bus stop and took us to the house. They made amazing food, both dinner, breakfast, and bento box lunch!

Loved the class and the instructions. They were able to modify the recipe/ingredients for my husband to have a gluten free option.

There was confusion with our reservation but we they made sure we had the experience.

We only had an hour and wish we had had more time.it seemed rushed.

Loved seeing the shrines and temples but very crowded.

It was pretty crowded dodging visitors but we could get to locations quicker.

This hotel was perfect in terms of location, facilities, room, etc. Couldn’t have been more enjoyable and comfortable. The staff were extremely professional and helpful. Great hotel!

Right in the heart of St. Remy. The location couldn’t have been better. Everyone at the hotel were extremely friendly, professional and helpful. Our room was fantastic as well.

Fortunately there were no emergencies, but we did have contact with Valentine and Mathilda during our visit. They always responded quickly and were helpful.

Fantastic experience with Edward and Yvan. The visits to the olive oil producer, goat farm, butcher and vegetable shops were all informative and most enjoyable. Yvan is a terrific cook and very good teacher. Learned a lot and ate well!

We had lunch and an enjoyable experience in Baux de Provence. Unfortunately I became ill and we never got to the Quarries of Lights but everyone at the hotel and in Baux told us that it was a great experience. Next time….

Sebastian is the best! He clearly knew Marseille, its history and culture, and especially the wine and food tour we took with him. Great stops and met fabulous people along the way. Highly recommend touring with Sebastian

Not a great location. Our room looked out on an alley type road with nondescript buildings.

Dark and tired looking. Not a great location. Poor view from room. Looking at a big office type building not far from our window. Eating area very dark. The walls were black.

Great location. On the water.

Great location!

Leisurely kayaking around low lying islands. Nothing strenuous. Guide was friendly and informative. Lunch was very good. One of the local fisherman cooked up a fresh fish meal. Yum!

Enjoyable. A bit jolting at times. Got to see Pulpit Rock from the water.

Our guide was super nice and engaging. Unfortunately, we couldn’t see anything as it was foggy the whole time. But we got some good exercise.

Our guide Arne was great!! He even brought a drone. Stopped at a few waterfalls. One was spectacular. The fjord trip was great. Gorgeous scenery.

Leisurely bus tour around the surrounding islands with visit to a church and lighthouse.

We were on a boat with a group of other people who had park service guides. The guides gave interesting commentary about the surroundings which made the ride more interesting .

Our guide was friendly. We rode out of the city to an adjoining island which was lovely. From the Art Nouveau name of the tour we thought we’d be learning about the architecture.

Our guide was great!

Hotel was very unique, cave-like hotel. Took a bit to adjust to the very little natural light, however, really loved the quirkiness of it!

we literally only slept here so I can't speak to much about the hotel. It was sufficient for what was needed.

This hotel was wonderfully located. So quaint and quiet.

very well kept boutique hotel!

Excellent location

going 'off the beaten path' was so interesting - getting to see what life is like in small villages in the mountains was fantastic.

The uniqueness of this class was incredible. The setting was located in an old Olive Mill. The cook was very warm and inviting. The food - SCRUMPTIOUS!!

Excellent location, gorgeous room, very helpful staff

A beautiful spot, gorgeous gardens, nice rooms

Great location, helpful staff, needs a bit of updating

Awe inspiring

Donilla was an excellent guide!

A very unusual hotel with a cavelike room. Eduardo worked so hard carrying our suitcases up and down stairs. He went out of the way to help us and brought us our breakfast every day. It was close to everything, but not a lot of walking traffic in front of us.

Very nice hotel in a great location. Room was very nice with a juliet balcony and our own private balcony for relaxation. Food was wonderful and the waitress was very accomodating and friendly

Beautiful hotel and close to everything we wanted to see and do. Terrific breakfast. The lady that came around during breakfast was very helpful and nice.

perfect place to stay, close to innumerable restaurants and the acropolis and the museum. great breakfast, too.

Not a bad place to stay for a night. The street noise was pretty loud and the receptionist was not too friendly

We had a local tour guide that was involved in all of the processes we saw. The wine tour was great and she personally knew a lot about each wine. The tomato farm was great with 5 different ways to enjoy the fruit.

Adonis and his crew were very good at helping all of us. The sea was not calm, but they were very watchful. We would recommend this to all ages. I am 73, and I enjoyed it. The lunch was good at the beach, too

My goodness ! I didn't know one person could retain as much knowledge as Lena. She was the best tour guide we had, and didn't waste any time. Her enthusiasm showed!

This was one of our favorite tours. Dionysis (sp?) was great with a lot of information about all the local agriculture, and wildlife. We had some great picture stops, and the restaurant for our meal was amazing.

Vincent was a good tour guide, although it was an English tour, three of the people and he spoke French most of the time. The last restaurant was a surprise. We wouldn't have ever found it by ourselves. Very good food.

This was one of the best experiences we had during the trip. Maria was very interesting and made it a hands on class. The food was terrific and the site was great too.

Our transfer was right on time and had a lot of information along the drive

Areagna( the princess) was full of information. We enjoyed all the history and architecture.

wonderful tour with a very knowledgeable guide.

One of the worst hotels I ever stayed.

We enjoyed our stay here. Lovely room overlooking the river at the back of e hotel. The staff were all friendly. Breakfast was adequate and the evening meal (included with our booking) was very tasty. Right in the centre of Aguas Calientes so handy location wise I don’t think you could ask for more!

Stunning location and decor. Food was absolutely wonderful. Our room was really comfortable and all the staff were very kind.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Staff, room, food all 10 out of 10!

Fabulous peaceful location and the view from the garden was stunning! Rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. We slept really well. The gentleman at Reception was very helpful and spoke good English. We found the public areas very cold, but our bedroom was warm. Food was not good.

Fabulous hotel! A little walk from the centre but the advantage was that it was very peaceful. Staff were very nice and we would have to give a special thank you to Juan in the bar/restaurant. He was one of the most helpful members of staff we came across during our 6 week South American adventure! Our room was really lovely. Very comfortable bed, good shower, lots of space for our belongings, no noise from neighbouring rooms, stutters made it nice and dark at night and we really slept well. Lunch and dinner in the restaurant were excellent and great value. Our experience at breakfast was a little haphazard but I think it was down to the inexperience of the staff and the language barrier. Food quality was not a problem, just trying to communicate simple needs like toast and butter!

Lovely stay in the centre of Cusco. Surprisingly quiet in our room although we were at the front of the hotel. Food was good and staff were all very friendly.

Fantastic hotel. Lovely room, with lots of storage space and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was one of the best we’ve had travelling through Ecuador and Peru over 6 weeks!

Loved our visit to Machu Picchu. It’s one of the most fabulous places on earth! Nothing can prepare you for the experience of standing there with all the magnificent mountain peaks around you.

Lunch was magnificent! One of the tastiest and varied meals we had in Peru. Highly recommend it to others.

Fascinating place. Our guide made it very interesting and we appreciated his knowledge.

Very interesting activity! We both enjoyed it.

Loved this day. The walk was very pleasant and Ollantaytambo was really interesting.

Nice to see the Camelids all together, although the tapestries were by far the most interesting thing at the location. Pisac was fabulous. Really enjoyed the stop there and would happily visit again if we had the opportunity.

One of my favourite days! The Uros Islands was great, but Taquile was even better. Stunning place!

Long journey but the scenery was lovely. The visit to the hot springs was the least enjoyable part of our holiday in Peru.

Stunning scenery and great to see the Condors flying.

Beautiful city. We loved wandering about here and the Monastery of St Catherine was superb!

We enjoyed our visit to the Larco Museum and it was worthwhile having a walk in the historic centre. I don’t think there would have been any advantage in staying any longer in Lima. One full day was enough to see the essentials.

Wow! This was one tough climb! I knew it was going to be a challenge, but nothing can quite prepare you for the ascent over the first few hours. Glad I did it for the sense of achievement, but it’s definitely something people need to give serious thought to before signing up for it! For me, this was the only way to see the view from the Sun Gate ( I now know it’s possible to do this again from Machu Picchu site) and to be honest, the view of the site was not as mind blowing as I had expected. It was so sunny and so far away that I couldn’t really appreciate it. If I had the choice now, I would have skipped the 1 Day Trail and just walked to the Sun Gate from Machu Picchu.

Another lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and unique, European flare. Loved all the special decorating touches. Close to shopping and lovely restaurants. Staff and owner very friendly, and the dog Violet, very helpful with suggestions, making tea, and having conversations.

Our hotel was the Ben’s hotel not Mine Hotel Boutique and we loved it. Such a European flare. Location was perfect. All staff were friendly and helpful.

Centrally located in CBD area of Melbourne. Cross to the tram lines. Very close to the South Cross Railway station as well.

Centrally located, Clean, friendly staff. However a bit outdated in terms of modern amenities - like good Wifi / Power outlets in the room. No elevator in the property to move heavy luggage.

Centrally located in Sydney

Was a fun trip for kids. The Puffing train ride had good views and worth it.

Amazing drive on the Ocean Road. Quant small towns to stop for views and food made up for a good day spent outdoors.

A good day trip to experience the Tropical forrests of Cairns. Walks, views and some sighting of the birds and crocs in the area was a nice touch. The trip was a easy day trip for those to like nature.

Super day trip to either Snorkel or go Diving to experience the GBR. Worth the day for the amazing views.

This was a laid back trip to view the Blue Mountain and the amazing views with some small walks / hikes that you can do. Not a packed agenda .

Must do activity in Sydney if your on your first trip and have a few hours. The views of the city were amazing. The briefing and start of activity takes some time but later you realise that for the safety of everyone it was needed. You can pick the day time or night time climb depending on weather and how you want to see the views.

A quick way to experience the Sydney Opera house, Downtown Buildings, Harbour Bridge for some awesome photos

Must do if your in Sydney first time.

This is a nice hotel with a decent breakfast. Near to many restaurants, and the Pier where you can see wildlife.

Hotel experience was decent. Breakfast was good. Lucia served fresh fruit juice everyday explaining the benefits of the fruit which was very nice experience. Hotel is in the middle of Old Town. Short walk to Basilica and other interesting spots around. Very authentic and Spanish inspired location. Only negative is the Hotel does not have an elevator,, so it is little hard to carry big luggage up the stairs.

We had an amazing time at Jamu lodge. Our guide Adrian was very good and punctual. All the meals served were very healthy. Our Suite was beautiful and comfortable. Truly, a memorable stay at Jamu lodge. The only thing I would have loved to have was having a fan in the Suite as it is very humid in the jungle.

Apollo was our guide and wow can't recommend this enough! We were stuffed by the end of this! We felt like we tried every food there was to try and it was all amazing. He was super informative and made us comfortable throughout the whole day! He had so many tricks for navigating the Acropolis to deal with the crowds and heat which we really appreciated

Our guide Hercules was super knowledgable! I felt like we got a great over view of the three wineries and really got to experience all the different options of wine. Our guide made us all feel comfortable and got all the different groups interacting with each other which was a nice touch!

This was a great way to see the whole Amalfi coast. We loved staying in Sorrento, but wanted to see the other towns and this was a great way to do so. Our guide was so informative and talked to us the whole drive pointing out different landmarks! She took us on two tours that were included with the trip and made lunch recommendations for us.

We loved this boating experience! There were about five groups of people and it was super comfortable! The staff was extremely friendly and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the day! They served us homemade lunch and had plenty of drink options from soda to wine and beer. They went above and beyond when they found out if was my birthday and made a little cake. The water was amazing and they provided snorkeling gear for everyone if you wanted!

Matteo was great! It was just me and my husband for our trip and we were greeted at the dock and told which boat would be ours. We headed over to capri and Matteo pointed out all the things to see along the coast. The water was extra bumpy that day so he adjusted our trip to make it more enjoyable! He gave us the option of what we wanted to do, but we decided to take his advice as he is the expert and were very glad we did! we had plenty of time in capri and were able to see some of the grottos!

This was a beautiful riad with a pool, amenities, and overall great character and ambience. The hotel room was small but semi luxe.

The Hotel Room was subpar (there was dust, bugs, and flies everywhere) and not enough space for two luggage bags to be opened on the floor, but the outdoor experience of the hotel was beautiful.

Gorgeous Riad.

This was a special experience. The overall location was good in the sahara desert in the Sand Dunes. Getting there was hard a long 7.5 hour drive for one night. The tent itself was equipped with running water, toilet, two beds, and a fan and lights and outlets to charge your appliances. I did also have wifi.

Good sized room, but difficult to navigate with luggage.

Overall our tour guide was very nice, well natured, and eager to show us her culture. We were exposed to many foods, and overall, I would have expected a different kind of tour, but I would not recommend it again. Perhaps a cooking class would have been more fun.

It was 100 degrees outside, so we tried to avoid the heat, stayed hydrated, and made the most of our location and ventured to modern marrakesh and old marrakesh,

This was such a long journey and we were tired. Our driver karim made sure to make several stops along the way and we felt well rested once we arrived.

I didn't care to see the ruins, it was a very far drive, but I understand why we saw it.

The Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort was fine but not my favorite. The hotel felt a bit rundown, possibly because we had just come from a really nice place in New Zealand. However, the bed was comfortable, the staff was great, and the breakfast was wonderful. The comparison with our previous hotel might have affected my impression, but overall, it was an okay stay.

The Lord of the Rings tour was a highlight, even though we aren't huge fans of the movies. The morning was just my husband and me with the driver, focusing more on sightseeing than just the film locations. It was great to see the beautiful scenery. In the afternoon, we joined others for some exciting off-roading, driving through rivers and off the beaten path. It was a fascinating experience and enjoyable even for those who aren't die-hard fans of the series.

The reef excursion was incredible! We first took a boat ride for about an hour and a half to our snorkeling site. We had two hours to explore the first reef, followed by lunch, and then another two hours at a different location. The snorkeling was fantastic; we saw a variety of fish and coral, including clownfish, which reminded me of Finding Nemo. The instructors were helpful and pointed out interesting marine life. It was a memorable and breathtaking experience.
