Kimkim Trip Reviews

Probably the most modern of the places we stayed in while in Morocco. Nice views of the ocean, on a well travelled street, close to lots of dining options.

Gorgeous!! Fantastic view of Chefchaouen - such beautiful grounds! Love!

Really beautiful riad, super spacious and well appointed.

Super spacious room, beautiful facility and grounds.

The space here was amazing - huge tent, 2 king beds in ours and full bathroom plus sitting area. The camp was beautifully laid out. No complaints other than it was difficult to tell who, if anyone, was in charge there.

This place is so charming! The owner especially was so kind! We could not stop admiring the decor and artful displays (love the musical instruments in the dining room!

Really beautiful riad… staff took great care of us there. It was clean, well kept, nicely located near center of Medina but quiet. Mini-mart 50 feet away was great for water and other necessities!

Kamal was extremely knowledgeable! Felt like we had a master class on Moroccan culture, history, and linguistics! Fantastic guide!

Interesting hotel, great location, spacious rooms

Great location and very cool hotel, staff friendly and breakfast buffets were delicious!

We loved this hotel. Great location, fun to have Juliet's courtyard to ourselves after hours. Room was fantastic. Very cool hotel.

Great location, staff not the most friendly. Room was TINY but we only slept there.

SUCH a GREAT location and the hotel was very comfortable! Definitely recommend

so fun to see and having a private tour we were able to get into areas and see things other tours could not.

The Dolomites are just beautiful! Our guide was fantastic!

Beautiful!

Loved this, visited two beautiful properties with amazing wine!

Great tour to get a good feel of the city. Our guide showed us some really cool things and had great knowledge about the city.

this was a bit long, could have skipped the prociutto portion

great, friendly, knowledgeable guide and the food was amazing. glad we did a lot of walking to balance the eating! :)

Perfect length of time and our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable

We were stranded here for 4 days in a major flood. The staff were fantastic and kept us feeling safe and secure in spite of a serious situation in Hue. Thank you!

Incredible food, accommodation, and service. The crew and staff were amazing, especially the chef and manager, Bang.

Fun and interesting albeit a bit touristy.

Very educational. Phil was a great guide.

Interesting but curtailed by bad weather.

Amazing and unique.

Fun kayaking experience.

One of the top activities on our trip. Bang and the staff were awesome.

It’s a long trip but really fun and interesting.

Food was fine, but a little dull compared to the other places we ate. 100% of the other patrons were also tourists.

Great to have this assistance after a long flight.

A very good business hotel, though the suite was rather tired and needs a serious upgrade. It's well located, food is nice and it's a good stop over when you have a business meeting or an early connection.

Great hotel, very family friendly and exceptionally welcoming of children with activities for them from arrival onwards. Wonderful aesthetic that matches the vibe of a Kyoto, if a touch on the dark side at breakfast.

Great hotel. Amazing staff. We arrived at 8am and they even gave us a spare room for the kids to rest in until check in time. It's a superb hotel.

Nice to see the deer but it does get crowded. It's not that picturesque and in fact nicer and more peaceful around the back.

Our driver meant we missed half the samurai experience, but from what we did do it was great. Super friendly teacher, great English and funny. Very kid friendly. Tremendous fun. Tea ceremony is a wonderful experience too. Concerns over appropriation, but actually you don't feel it, instead you enjoy and learn. It's a really nice thing to do for all the family or a couple or a sol traveller.

It was a foggy day. Couldn't see anything - happens, but tour guide didn't pivot or provide alternate experience, also didn't talk to us much. Every stop was very tourist heavy. It did not feel special, it felt like a waste of time.

A very authentic hotel although the staff were very inexperienced and seem to lack adequate supervision.

The hotel was excellent although it lacked a comfortable sitting area to have a drink with friends.

Our guide was so sweet!!! He was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour fun. We learned a lot about the coffee and chocolate-making processes from seed to cup. And to top it all off, they give you free coffee & hot chocolate :) they also have a great shop there with tons of coffee to buy, and cute souvenirs!

Our guide was SO knowledgeable and hilarious! He pointed out lots of animals and had a monocular for us to view everything through. Definitely recommend this!

Lovely view and surroundings; delicious meals. Only downside was the small rooms especially the bathroom.

Loved everything about this hotel from its location, to its well stocked bathroom and delicious breakfast.

Wonderful to see the different topographies and learn about the Berber’s and life outside of the bigger cities.

Great experience. Staff was terrific.

It was on our itinerary but we didn’t get tickets. That was very disappointing since we confirmed our trip months in advance.

Overall, great survey of the city.

Very knowledgeable guide Good sampling of things to eat and see Wish we were given the option to continue or end. Mentioned we were full so the tour ended. Also not sure why a pharmacy was included on the tour except for shopping.

Clean, cute and breakfast server was very nice. I liked that we were able to utilize the pool area and 2nd floor balcony for our group gatherings. Kitchen noise (talking and chopping) were easily heard in the rooms above. One key is not enough. Two should be available. Offer wine in addition to beer. An elevator is needed. It was difficult for two of our travelers. There should be a Do Not Disturb sign for when you don't want your room cleaned. The window above the patio door emitted light because there was no way to cover it up. Thus causing us to wake sooner than desired.

It was fine for one night. I appreciate that they accommodated our need for box breakfasts.

Nice facility and rooms. The coffee pot was not plugged in and I could not get to the plug without pulling the refrigerator away from the wall and fishing out the cord. I liked that there was a Bistro as part of the hotel.

The common areas and restaurant were good. The breakfast buffet was good. The restaurant wait staff were a bit slow and forgot about my wine one night. My room was cold - no thermostat - though it was fine for sleeping. The room looked worn. Lighting was poor. There needed to be more coffee in the room. We asked Housekeeping for 2 packets and they brought one. I called Housekeeping the next night and they never answered. I called the front desk and they said they would get some coffee sent up - never happened.

What diverse beauty! Snorckling was great - so many different and colorful fish. A sea lion swam right next to us. Seeing the Blue Footed Boobie was a highlight!!

The water isn't clear so it was difficult to see anything under the water. Some of us were able to make out a shark and we could see sea turtles only when they popped their head out. Still, it was fun to kayak and to see the pelicans. The walk was very enjoyable stopping to learn about the area, see the fauna, marine iguanas and the mocking birds. The white sand is beautiful and a delight to walk on.

We enjoyed planting the trees and were ready to work even harder.

No one can describe how exciting it is to see these tortoises!

It was beautiful scenery even with the rain.

I am selecting "amazing" but it was raining and we decided to go to the hotel. But pictures from one of our group that braved the weather showed us much of what we missed. The Panama hat tour was fun and many of us made purchases!

Hummingbird experience was out of this world. The Equator Museum is another must-do!

We had 3 airport pick ups so we appreciate that. Especially the one very late at night.

If you love boutique hotels you will love the Parlamento Boutique Hotel. Located on the 4th floor of a 500 year old building, the hotel is perfect for visiting all the old sites of Rome.

Lovely hotel inside the old gates of Siena.

Beautiful oasis in Florence.

Very fun hotel with a great location in Milan for tourists.

Beautiful hotel, perfect location and a very welcoming team of professionals. Room very spacious for Europe and comfortable in every way.

Excellent morning walking through 2000 years of history.

A must afternoon while in Rome. Tour was full of information with an expert navigator of history.

A must in Tuscany. We had a great evening of cooking, drinking and eating!

This was a surprise gem of a morning. Loved the local lore and the cathedral is spectacular. Guide was fantastic.

A very fun day. Balance between winery and local villages. Would suggest a change in the second Winery. After visiting Talosa another top rated winery would have been preferred.

Beautiful day with our private guide. She made the entire day so much fun.

Our private tour guide was full of information and very friendly. The extra effort in walking us back to our hotel through the ancient sites of Milan was a real treat.

Guide was amazing. Very friendly and full of fun facts and local lore.

Great little spot, hidden in the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. Friendly staff, very beautiful decor. We were greeted warmly with smiles by everyone, all the time. They were nice enough to hold our luggage until we returned from island hopping. We lucked out with a room with a patio, overlooking an amazing view of the river.

This hotel was amazing! It was modern, with glimpses of the past just outside the windows. I especially enjoyed quiet time on the spacious balcony.

This hotel was absolutely beautiful and the views from our balcony were lovely. The room was very modern and spacious. The in-room jacuzzi was amazing! The host was very friendly and helpful.

This hotel offered a picture postcard view from the private balcony. The room itself was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was beautiful and spacious, if lacking in hooks for towels, robes, etc.

Loved the hotel and the location. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Unfortunately, it rained and the e-bike tour was cancelled.

This was a very enjoyable group tour. The guide was very personable, open and honest. We enjoyed our excursion immensely.

Our tour guide was absolutely fabulous. Her wealth of knowledge and passion for Athens and the Acropolis made the experience so enjoyable. She was extremely personable and easy to relate to. I have so much admiration and praise for her.

This is such a pretty little hotel with 24 hour reception, an amazing made-to-order breakfast, and a big suite with a full kitchen. It’s off one of the main walking streets (Via Vittorio Emanuele) so you right in the middle of the action, walking distance to everything. The room had a little balcony where you can hang out and people watch. Umbrellas in the lobby, nice touch.

This was a unique little hotel. The reception desk staff was wonderful and had great ideas for restaurants and Marsala wine tours, which we hadn’t yet set up. The apartment was huge, with tons of closet space, a mini-kitchen, an iron and ironing board, a steamer, and private patio access. It’s in walking distance from the old part of town which has cute restaurants and shops. We drove over to Florio for the wine tours as it’s tough to get a taxi in Marsala. Parking was a challenge due to street cleaning one of the nights we were staying, so we had to move our car. Breakfast was excellent.

It’s a cute and clean B&B. The room was large and comfortable, the owner provided unlimited cold water and access to the refrigerator which was great. Breakfast was good with baked goods and fresh coffee, not much protein though. The location isn’t great and parking was a challenge, although we were able to walk 20 minutes to a good restaurant. If you are just going to the Valley of the Temples, there’s no real reason to stay in Agrigento, stay outside the city.

Lovely property, walking distance to everything in Ortigia, we had a sea view to watch ocean storms! The room was very small with almost no room to put two suitcases. We had a fridge and complementary water. Front desk staff were wonderful. Buffet breakfast had a great selection of food and then you can order many more items off the menu. Great coffee, umbrellas available,

Very nice front desk staff, we had a large room overlooking the water, On the third floor, our room had its own huge terrace with a separate entrance. We barely used the terrace because we were out so much. Breakfast was decent, the coffee was fabulous. Great location (but very windy roads to get there if you are driving, valet parking.

Chiara met us at the hotel and was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. This was actually a 3 hour tour and well worth the time. We covered a lot of ground, and learned so much about the history of the Mafia and today’s anti-mafia movement. While there, we learned more Sicily culture and history. Well worth the time.

This tour was surprisingly fun! These are historic salt pans that are still worked by hand, with men in the salt pans. We learned so much - how they work, how they are managed, the history of salt panning in the region, how salt is stored, etc. The tasting afterwards was crazy good, with fresh fruits, vegetables and olive oil bread to combine with different flavored salts. That was delicious. Our tour guide was wonderful, on staff at the salt pans. The store sells it all, you will want to buy salt, especially fluer de sel (“flower of salt”) which is the salt that forms a thin, delicate crust on the surface of the seawater as it evaporates. It’s the one to use for finishing and garnishing.

Sabrina was fantastic. She knew all you could imagine about Sicilian history and the history of this place. She was interesting, interested, and paced the tour well. There’s a lot to cover and it can be overwhelming.

Marta met us at the front gate and made this tour really enjoyable. She was knowledgeable about the Villa and Sicilian history, and a very nice person as well.

Sara and her husband are amazing! We had a great tour at LAeQUA including all the specialized machinery for nuts and chocolate, and made our own Modica style chocolate. They focus on fair trade ingredients and have close relationships with their suppliers. The commitment to their products and mission is infectious. This laboraty if a little bit outside of the city and well worth the drive.

Did we miss this? Didn’t see it on our last itinerary.

This was a great experience. Marco picked us up at our hotel and we were joined by another family of 5. He provided history and context as we were driving to Mount Etna, and gave us all some time to chat also. We stopped at a little convenience store to buy some water. Our first stop was a lava cave, which was fascinating, then we walked up the mountain to a dormant lava field. We ended with a wonderful lunch and winery tour at Cantine Petria. Would have been nice to have been provided water and walking sticks as parts of the climb were slippery and rocky. Marco was interesting, knowledgeable, and personable, and nice to spend the better part of day with.

Not sure how to rate this so gave it a 3. The lists provided are fine, but we used Rick Steve's book and map and the hotel map for touring. Would have be nice to get local maps from KimKim, in hindsight.

The entry ticket was in the Vamoos app, which we forgot. But it was there and pre-paid, so that was convenient.

We cancelled this when we needed to change from afternoon to morning. Gave it a “poor” to click through.

We cancelled this before we left. Only gave it a “poor” to be able to click through.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great location and great value!

Great private tour of a beautiful medieval city. Such a quick train ride to get there. Learned so much history.

A site I always wanted to visit and it certainly did not disappoint. Incredible place. So whimsical and beautiful

Great teacher! Had a lot of fun with the small group and look forward to making the recipes again

This was probably my favorite part of my trip. Our guide Berta was incredible! So knowledgeable and funny too. Learned so much about Guell.

Genuinely colonial; great location.

Not enough English speaking staff. Poor service in the bar.

The private dinner with Maria was a little disappointing. We had no idea what to expect and had we a better description in advance, might have chosen to skip it. Although Maria was welcoming, bright, enthusiastic and totally into her "thing", I probably would have preferred dinner in an excellent restaurant.

Loved it. Charming town.

Nacho was unbelievably knowledgable and entertaining.
