Kimkim Trip Reviews

Old-fashioned but totally contemporary and fun. Best night of sleep over all the nice hotels. Wish we could go again.

The Park Hotel was a highlight. It was different from the modern ones and we loved the old one.

The resort was the best. It'll be exceptional when it's done. The staff was superb and accommodating.

Easy to rate - because Barbara was hands down the best trail guide ever. Funny, smart, forward thinking ... plus taught us to use a fire starting flint, shared amazing stories and nature details from start to finish. But - we taught HER how to make a Finnish variation of our traditional "smore". Substitute a ginger cookie, delicious Finnish chocolate and strawberry flavored marshmallows for the traditional plain old graham crackers, dull American chocolate and white marshmallows ... grilled over a fire started with her flint.

Our guide "tried hard" but no aurora seen that night. But exceptional fun sitting around fire at his house with his devoted dogs, learning about his family and talking "horses". Visited stables andsaddle room of what might be the farthest north "western horse" operation. Unexpected fun,

My guide got mixed up with another group but the hotel staff and everyone involved were so helpful and friendly, turning the situation into a really fun memory.

Despite the rain, the guide made it fun and interesting. The cruise was a highlight.

The tower was super and the local craft shop was interesting.

The workshop was an unexpected highlight and the stories around the fire were in-depth, really interesting, and not touristy at all. The guide was passionate and knowledgeable, which made the experience even more special.

The Bird & Wildlife Watching Tour was superb, the guide was retired military and passionate about nature. The Aurora Adventure was fun, despite not seeing the lights.

This was one of the very best stops of the entire trip! The hosts spent endless time with us. Super memories of lots of dogs barking, people laughing … and learning so much.

My stay at the Glendalough Hotel was truly amazing. The hotel was incredibly nice and the dinner there was absolutely delicious. The whole ambiance of the place was quite scenic and it gave me the opportunity to mingle with locals as well as other tourists.

The hotel was comfortable but the communication was a bit of a hassle. However, after reaching out to Shauna, my travel specialist, she was able to help me out!

Dingle Harbour Lodge B&B was nothing short of wonderful. Upon arrival, the host saw that we were booked for a single room, but kindly upgraded us to a double room at no extra cost. The food, especially the breakfast, was delicious. The host was very kind and provided us with some great recommendations. We even got to hold baby lambs at a nearby spot! I

The Maldron Hotel on Sandy Road was a bit of a disappointment. The hotel itself was outdated and there was a leak in the shower that dripped cold water from the ceiling.

This remote guest house comes with a 9 hole golf course and walking trails to the beautiful beach. The food, service, cleanliness were fantastic

The hotel room was bigger than my apartment. It was clean and bright, and the staff was all very friendly. Their breakfast lay out was excellent. It was also located in a less touristy area of the city, which I prefer.

The staff was so friendly, and the hotel was so comfortable and cozy. They put out a good breakfast, and everything is spotless. It’s also very close to the main street, but far enough away to avoid the noise. Highly recommend!

This is a fairly easy trek (if you’re acclimated to the elevation) through a really beautiful landscape. Our guide, Julia knows a lot about the mineral composition and ecosystem of the desert. Highly recommend (they give you Pisco at the end!)

Claudio was so knowledgeable and showed a really deep love for his city. The tour is brief, but gives you a good lay of the land. It was a really great way to get introduced to the city!

I can’t recommend this highly enough. It was so, so amazing and the men giving the lessons were so passionate about the subject. It really was one of the most beautiful skies I have ever seen. We were also given snacks (with homemade jam and mayonnaise made by one of the men’s mothers) and wine, and got to sit around a fire while we ate and drank. It was a very special tour and I would do it again if I returned To San Pedro.

Chaxa lagoon was stunning, and watching the Flamingos was just amazing. The other lagoons were very beautiful (although it was so extremely windy it wore me down). We didn’t actually see the mentioned villages, but it was still a really good day

I think Berto was our favorite guide of the trip. He knew so much about the geysers and seemed to really love them. The geysers themselves were so beautiful and strange. We also got to see a wetland and a small village called Machuca. It was a really great trip!

This was a fairly easy hike (unless you don’t like a bit of rock scrambling) in a really beautiful landscape. It was an amazing way to end the day. The warm water pools are currently closed, but we went to a spot with cold water bathing. I loved it! The canyon is truly spectacular!

This a great value-for-money deal. The hotel is located apx 20 minutes away from the airport (depending on traffic), it's very clean with all standard amenities, good cruising although not particularly local, great breakfast and very helpful personnel.

Amazing people working in this 142 acres of excellence. My Mountain room was spacious and clean and although there is no AC, it wasn't needed when I was visiting. There are many activities to do and I did most of them: tubing, hanging bridges, ziplining. Breakfast was great but otherwise, the restaurant offered food is nothing exceptional and quite pricy. With no available markets in the close proximity that can be an issue for some people.

Nothing great and nothing bad. This accommodation is the perfect average but it is affordable, clean and in a good location.

An amazing experience! Rosie and Roger dreamt of a place where humans could connect with nature and they accomplished something extraordinary. I have nothing but compliments for this place.

This was my first time surfing. The instructors took about 20 minutes to prepare/inform me about safety and technic and then we jumped in the water. The guides were all super friendly giving me feedback after every attempt to surf:)

Very easy to find, the people working at the front desk speak good English and the guide (although super young) was very helpful and friendly.

All the comforts in the wild and remote beauty of the desert. Simple but lovely and friendly service from Suleiman and all the staff at this site. Set in a stunning location, plenty to do while also allowing great chill time around the camp fire or admiring the stars from comfort of the veranda. Great food and super clean.

Sorry, too jet lagged to recall much of it.

Wonderful little surprise in this little town. Helpful staff, nice beds and peaceful.

Located conveniently by the water and docks to catch the ferries. Nice views. A tad pricey.

Close proximity to city centre and fish market. The main restaurant is a piece of art in itself.

The hike was good. Our guide was calm, kind, knowledgeable and fun to walk with. Had some issues with ticks. My husband ended up with 3 on him which we quickly removed. The path got slippery and muddy by the falls but the scenery was outstanding and it was a good way to learn about the agriculture and history of Norway and the region.

Exciting and intimate with a great guide. Saw lots of nooks and crevices most big boats can’t get to. Loved our guide.( Theo) He’s a story teller with interesting details on the fjords and area. I was warm and comfortable in our suits. Loved the wind in my face.

Unfortunately our trip was on a cloudy,wet day so the views of the glacier was limited. However…..the museum was superb with a panoramic movie which I loved and the building itself.

Hospitable workers, clean room, amazing jacuzzi, tasty breakfast. Pretty place.

Hospitable workers, clean room, tasty breakfast and beautiful location. Nice pool. Negative: poor lighting in the room.

Very beautiful place. Room with a beautiful view. Very spacious and clean. Good breakfast, nice staff. Negative: bathtub plunge didn’t work so it kept draining the water, no space in bathroom for personal hygiene items and poor lighting. But overall we would stay at this location again.

Hospitable workers, clean room, tasty breakfast which was included. Lunch and dinner and drinks to buy but also pretty good. Beautiful view of the ocean. Has a pool but very strict on the close time which is 730/8pm. Provide beach towels. Location central to the tours we took. Negative: poor lighting in the room.

We stayed at the place for 6 hours to rest before flying out back home. Clean room with AC, friendly staff. In center of San Jose. Negative: poor lighting.

The tour guide gave us information in the car and then told us to get out of the car and look around at the location we stopped at. We stopped at 3 places and rest of the time we sat in the car looking out the window. We would not recommend THIS tour company for San Jose tour .

The tour guide was great. Very knowledgeable and took as many photos as we wanted of us. Provided great knowledge of the places we saw.

This place is soo amazing and pretty. It has lots of pool options with different temperatures. There were bars in each pool section. Very pretty views. Nice staff. Negative: the included dinner didn’t have good options. The food we choose wasn’t great.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. We saw 4 sloughs, bats, frogs, insects and different plants/trees. Pretty good tour.

This was a fun activity. Great staff and your guides. Very knowledgeable. The zip line staff made us comfortable and safe during the activity. We saw monkeys, snakes, slough, plants/trees in the cloud forest.

The tour guide taught us about coffee, gave us samples to drink, showed us how to extract sugar from sugar cane, provided a sample of a sugar cane drink. During the night hike we were able to spot different birds, a snake and insects, frogs.

This was an amazing tour. We had a driver and two young tour guides who were fun, knowledgeable but at the same time respected us. On this tour you visit different waterfall locations that you can jump into the waterfall pool including a waterfall slide. My husband loved jumping off the waterfall but I decided to just swim/cool off in the water just because I am afraid if heights. The tour guides showed my husband how to jump safely and provided clear instructions. The tour guides didn’t push me to do stuff that I didn’t feel comfortable with. We had a delicious lunch at a tilapia farm and headed to a secluded beach. We had a coco loco drink and swam at the ocean. We had an amazing time this paddle 9 company.

Guide was very knowledgeable and fun. In the park we were able to spot monkeys, sloughs, crabs, birds and different types of plants/trees. We had option to stay at the beach and swim but we didn’t have the time as we had to check out and get transferred to San Jose for our departure. But we were still able to see the beach and take photos.

Beautiful hotel! Very modern with plenty of space. I enjoyed the location and centrality of the hotel in the heart of old Athens. I would absolutely go back and recommend anyone to stay here.

Wow! Does that some it up? A beautiful venetian city, with historic (but modernly renovated where possible) hotels, restaurants, and buildings. We were a block away from the ocean, nearly ALL of the restaurants and everywhere had a scenic view. It is such a Bed & Breakfast "vibe" as my wife would say, which is why we adored it so much. To the staff who cared for us, we thank you so much.

Absolutely beautiful. Historic log and stone cabin home renovated with every modern desire. The location was fantastic, and breakfast was super accommodating and plentiful, especially for us with dietary restrictions. I only wish we could have stayed longer. It reminds me so much of the mountains in West Virginia that we love to go and get away from it all in, then explore a historic town, and great people and food.

Brand new hotel with a very modern outlook. It is built for a younger crowd, and the plethora of artwork/images everywhere was not at all in my taste. It was oceanfront, and therefore had a great view.

Wonderful room, and location. It was great to have the shuttle service back to the airport. Our driver was excellent and timely. The restaurant was good, and had a great view wherever you looked. I only wish we could have explored a bit more.

Wow. Elena (from Olympia Insiders) was our guide and there's not enough room to write why she made this so meaningful and great for us. Her passion, education and personality made it magical to understand the depth of discovery, wonder and history for the birthplace of Olympic games and Grecian art, sculptures, practices. This, along with Delphim, were the two most enthralling of the ancient tours. There was so much to see and witness in every direction and the museums are world-class.

It was fantastic to see everything and the food was great! Definitely a great place to get a bottle and hangout for awhile.

Our tour guide demonstrated the acoustics and it allowed us to understand the depth of ingenuity and science that went into building such architecture. It is an amazing place to see and the museum itself is fantastic as well. He really knew a great deal about the Peloponnesian people and peninsula.

The drive to the site, the museum and history. But it was incredible to be at the site and such an epicenter of the peninsula.

Please do not miss out on this destination. The view the entire journey was incredible. The sapphire water of the Mediterranean was almost always visible and the drive was fun. This was such a magnificent site and to see how much is visible & explorable will make it a favorite.

Greece is beautiful and this site truly is a must see. There is nothing else like it. It truly is for the experience of the natural rock formations, the wonderful and townspeople, but also the monasteries.

Alex, our tour guide was incredible! Very knowledgeable. You could tell he loved it. I just want to give the biggest shout out to him and acknowledge is personality and teaching. The KimKim and the company Greece Insiders truly knows how to build an incredible journey and time with people educated in the history.

Hotel Pasatiempo was a very good experience for the cost. The grounds and pool were amazing. The room was adequate, and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast burrito was incredible. The only downsides are Saturday night can be a bit loud (most of Tamarindo is if you're centrally located) and you need to bring bug spray as there can be days with a few mosquitoes.

Bosque del Mar is one of the most relaxing hotels I've ever stayed it. It is located right on the beach, the accommodations are incredible, the rooms are very, very well done, the pool was very scenic and relaxing, and all of the food was great. The staff was very friendly, remembered my name, and were very accommodating with my requests.

I took the Private Surf Lesson and enjoyed it so much I came back for the group lesson (slightly less cost) and then three other days to just rent a board (you get 50% off if you take a class). I kept coming back because the staff was incredible and treated me like family. It is very professional and a great place to take your first surf lesson.

Amazing. I visited 12 beaches (I'm a bit crazy so I don't recommend going this far). The sand and beaches are amazing, you will love them!

Can't beat Guanaste for beaches :)

Everything was great.. wish there were more options for vegetarians though!
