Kimkim Trip Reviews

This hotel was one of our favorites of the trip! The hotel staff & amenities were top notch!

The hotel was right in the center of town so it was easy to walk everywhere we needed to go!

The hotel was within walking distance to pretty much everything!

This hotel was probably one of the worst we have stayed in. The location was convenient as it was in the airport terminal. We had to change rooms as our air conditioning was broken. The room we changed to had water leaking from the ceiling and the response from the front desk was that they knew. The room wasn’t very clean also. The hotel restaurant was also concerning as we witnessed several people complaining about their food so we ate elsewhere.

This tour was fun & we learned quite a bit but I think we were under the impression the “murders & mysteries” part was something different. We had a great time regardless!

We loved this boat tour! Got to see Paris from a different angle

We added these tickets last minute and they did not disappoint!

We wish this tour was a few hours longer! We had to get an audio guide but felt rushed in each room as there was so much to see! We loved the inside of the palace and loved the gardens even more!

The guide we had was awesome! We loved it!

We really enjoyed the 1:1 tour through Avignon! We got to ask so many questions and learn so much!

We really loved the Luberon! The tour guide and group was great as well!

We loved the e-bike tour for the most part! The only thing we think may be done better is returning the bikes and then walking through the village/town. We loved the olive oil tasting and wish it was a bit longer!

This boat tour was one of our favorite parts of the trip to Marseilles! We loved the entire experience.

We would have liked to see the menu options before as one of us doesn’t care for seafood but the entire experience was worth it! We loved the chef!

All staff are friendly and very accommodating especially Rui and Gonzalo. We never get to meet Sonia unfortunately. It is 3 blocks away from the proximity of Main Avenue Rua Santa Catarina connecting streets to City Center

We did not stay here, We were at Sapientia Boutique Hotel. An Amazing and Beautiful Hotel in the Proximity of University of Coimbra, Old and New Cathedral, Royal Palace and of course Biblioteca Joanna. All of my Review of Location, Staff, Authenticity & Character and Cleanliness and Comfort pertains to SAPIENTIA BOUTIQUE HOTEL and not Hotel Mondego.

This hotel was beautiful and in a great location. However, we had a bit of a situation where my friends had money stolen. The hotel said they did an investigation but we felt they could have done more.

We loved this hotel. The location was beautiful, the space was great and we enjoyed walking along the path by the ocean.

This place was fabulous. The people were very friendly, our guide was great and the accommodations were amazing.

The accommodations were great and the people were nice, but we didn't like the restaurant. The food was too fancy for our liking.

We loved this place. It was more rustic and wilderness-like than what we were used to but we liked that. The food was great and the people were nice

I adored Cape Town and our guide was fabulous. He was with us the whole time we were there, taking us to the wine country, Cape Point, and the city. He was very personable and it was great having the same guide.

This was a nice tour, and our guide was excellent. We enjoyed exploring the area.

We visited a few different wineries and had cheese at different places. It was not really a wine and chocolate tour, but more of a tasting experience.

This tour was okay. We saw some whales, but we thought we were going to see more and there were a lot of people on the boat. It was fine but not great.

We loved the game reserve. Our guide was good and we enjoyed the accommodations and spa.

This was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed the experience.

We enjoyed all these activities, especially the elephant sanctuary and Victoria Falls. However, we had issues with the tour company as they were often late

We loved Botswana, it was my favorite place. The safari was even better and the Okavango Delta was incredible.

The tour was interesting and informative, but our guide was quite intense and pushy.

Parking nearby was difficult! Everything else was wonderful!!! GREAT Location!!!!

Other than walking 350 meters to parking, it was amazing to be in a 1500 yr. old monastery turned elegant hotel with the BEST French breakfast!

Loved the feel of the old farmhouse turned hotel........ had some issues with the toilet and very small space, but wonderful breakfast in the a.m.!

Pay parking is a ways away. Be prepared to walk with your luggage from the pay for parking lot. Hotel is on the busy main, old town pedestrian walk way. Lots of people watching from your balcony if it faces to the front. Front desk employees friendly and helpful. Breakfast was comparable to other Hotels in Provence.

An exciting, vibrant city. Hundreds of choices for wonderful places to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, all within a 5 to 10 minute walk. Walking at night is an amazing experience, especially along Vieux Port. Great people-watching, people from all over the world living and touring in this city.

This was in the top 2 experiences in our trip throughout Marseille and Provence. These islands are uniquely beautiful. Going in a pontoon boat can be a little bumpy but you have the opportunity to get much closer to the unique land, beaches and especially, being able to go into the caves along the coastlines. Bleu Evasion was a great cruise company. The employees are efficient, safety oriented and our boat captain, Christoph (spelling?) was very experienced, knowledgeable, friendly and engaging.......... all the attributes you want for an beautiful excursion like this!

Gille is a very talented chef who is able to share his knowledge of cooking with our group of 10 in a way that ALL of us learned SO much, from the experienced to the very inexperienced, like my husband. He came away so excited to try some of the techniques he learned from Gille. It was a great experience walking with Gille to look for the fresh fish at the Vieux Port and the fresh produce in a small square, a few blocks away and then walk to his mother's beautiful home to prepare our French meal. Wonderful experience~~~

One of our top 2 excursions in Marseille/Provence. Our driver, Robin, took us to a wonderful winery and then to Chateau des Baux-de-Provence where we saw the Luminaire exhibit in the caves of the Alpilles. Then lunch in the medieval town nearby, with a tour of the old castle after, with an amazing view of the beautiful vineyards and olive groves in the Baux Valley below....... a truly memorable day.

It was a wonderful area to visit with a lot of Roman and Medieval history and 2 different UNESCO world heritage sites to visit and walk through. Robin shared a lot of the history he was familiar with and we took a tour of the large amphitheater which has been re - done yet keeping the original structure intact so that concerts/performances are still held there today. Our only downside of the day, and which couldn't have been helped, was the high temperature the day we visited this area. Due to the sites all being outside, we weren't able to truly appreciate all that we saw that day.

Perfect!

Highlight of the trip seeing these beautiful animals- amazing experience!

Great place to see the native proboscis monkeys, we were lucky to see some in two different places by the entrance to the park. Also saw lots of other wildlife with the help of our guide and enjoyed the hikes around the park. Boat trip there and back was also fun

Really lovely boat cruise and great opportunity to see more wildlife- we saw the irawaddy dolphins, a crocodile, proboscis monkeys, macques and the fireflies. Stunning sunset from the boat too. We were also provided snacks which was an unexpected but pleasant surprise

The views and accommodations are exactly what I expected while there. Wish we would have had another night there to really enjoy the views and pool

The staff was very nice and helpful. Could not get over the fact that there was no pool or a beach that we could use without spending extra

Great location and spacious rooms with king beds! Liked the number of usb plugs. The Hotel seemed to get hot at night which didn’t lend itself to comfortable sleeping. Wish we could have made the room cooler.

This is an amazing hotel option from every aspect--rooms were modern, smartly furnished, friendly team members, outstanding food in the restaurant, they went above and beyond one day when we were going to miss breakfast due to an early train and sent a bagged breakfast that was super. We stayed there twice and we will again! And we'll tell our friends/family to stay there. Final strong point is proximity to train station, which is why we went there in the first place. Top marks in all categories!

Nice clean busy hotel. We felt as if we were in a cruise ship crowd because there were buses of people--a bit busier than we would have liked but didn't detract from our trip. The rooms are nice and had ample space. Friendly staff. Room was quiet. Nice option next to the train station so it was a walkable option to a lot. We'd consider it again for convenience.

great location. room layout design could be more effective.

Great location and friendly staff. room could use some checking and update.

Great service and amazing location. Breakfast with breathtaking views.

great location, friendly staff. room layout and furnitures could be updated to make it more friendly for families. very quiet hotel in a busy area which was great.

Good location, friendly staff.

must do if you like archaeology sites.

knowledge and friendly guide. learned a lot and looked after us.

creative immersive show held at a place with a great view.

cannot miss this if you like to visit archaeology sites

speechless visiting Olympia

loved every minute of the tour.

amazing hiking, beach, lunch, lake and everything.

This is a great metropolitan hotel.

We loved staying in a the 17 th century building with all the architecture that goes along with this hotel.

This hotel has an extensive Breakfast. The most selection of the five hotels we started in during this trip

Stig was fantastic. He fit our walk into our interest and covered a lot of the city. He went out of the way to go beyond his time with us . We appreciated his history knowledge

Wilde was fantastic. It was great to gain her knowledge of Bergen and discuss current issues of life in Norway, from political in sight to the current music scene . This was well worth while even though it poured through out our walk Wilde kept our interest and spirits up the whole time.

This is a MUST DO for all interested. The cruise was a great intro to the following hike to the rock. And at the end it was great to get a bus ride to our hotel . Not to mention the longest tunnel experience was one for the bucket list .

The views from this hotel were outstanding. We appreciated the location slightly out of town to avoid the feeling of being overwhelmed by other visitors. The staff were lovely and helpful in arranging transport to Oia and helping us with restaurant reservations. We particularly enjoyed the hotel restaurant and the breakfast spread.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at the Aeolos resort. We appreciated the location slightly outside of Mykonos town, which was calmer and quiter in the evenings. The hotel staff was also very accomodating to give us rides into town. We did appreciate that we were moved to a larger room when we checed in to better accomodate 3 adults but did miss the garden view that we had originally booked. This was the only small downside to our experience. The staff was wonderfully attentive and hospitable, and we really enjoyed the amazing food at the resort restaurant.

The location of this hotel can't be beat - it's in the perfect location to wal to all of the neighborhoods and attractions in Athens. We found the suite for 3 individuals to be quite spacious and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly throughout our stay, and the breakfasts that were brought in each day were very nice. The only minor downsides we felt were the slightly weak air conditioning in our suite and the lack of larger lobby area for the hotel, but otherwise, we enjoyed every aspect of our stay.

Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The crew was so warm and friendly, and the meal they prepared onboard was fantastic (including the sursprising number of vegetarian otions, which we were thrilled by).

This tour was great and the perfect length! We appreciated the time and deatil spent teaching us about the history of the Parthenon

Perfectly located by the palace. Nothing fancy but very clean and well attended to, offering excellent service and attitude. I enjoyed having my own room. Overall, a pleasant stay.

The main problem with this accommodation was the difficult stairs. However, our contact person Antonia was quick to arrange help with our luggage.

The hotel had a lovely exterior and location, but the interiors were outdated. However, the staff was very friendly.

Stunning - so clean and well maintained. Great location. Good service. Nice breakfast. Beautiful views.

This was an overwhelming experience as we had to navigate through roads and people despite being assured that the tour was on the outskirts. It was a little scary for someone like my daughter who is fearful of bicycles.

A thrilling experience at first but it felt a little touristy towards the end as more groups came in. The drive to the location was slightly terrifying due to the speed and winding roads. However, the overall experience was really nice.

Very clean - the staff went out of their way to accomodate us. They even walked me to the closest place so we could get our laundry done. The next day we had a cooking class booked, so one of the staff offered to get our laundry for us! the Breakfast was very good - you could order a fresh made omelet if you liked. Great location - we could walk everywhere from Hotel Marul.

We stayed 2 nights in the very quaint B&B. Its very much a boutique - character furniture in the dining area. Our room was at the top, we had a private balcony with chairs and a table where we could look out over the harbour and enjoy some quite time away from the crowds (we were there in August). Lovely hostess and good breakfast

We stayed one night - the rooms are unique and the breakfast is absolutely outstanding. Great location for us to walk everywhere we needed to. Comfortable beds and very clean

we spent one night here on our way to plitvice lakes park. Once we got here i wanted to stay for a few more days!! The accomodations were very clean, comfortable rooms. I loved the pool! We borrowed the bicycles and did a small tour around the area (they have numerous bike paths) and then enjoyed the afternoon at the pool. We had dinner at the neighbouring hotel that evening which was very good and we had a good selection for breakfast the next day. The location to the parks is fantastic - it only took us 15 minutes to drive to the park entrance from here.

this was our travel day to get to the Plitvice Lakes area Robi suggested we stop in Rastoke. We didn't know much about the town and just thought it would be a quick stop. The town area is extremely enchanting - it was our first introduction to the beauty of the Croatian waterfalls. We ended up staying for much longer that anticipated because it was such a fascinating area.

We had a private tour of the city one day, which we highly recommend . Not only did our tour guide provide so much information about the history of Zagreb, she made the morning very pleasant showing us all the interesting areas of Zagreb.

This is the most beautiful national park I have yet to see. We are from Canada, near the Banff National Park which I consider to be extremely beautiful - now it has a rival! This area is so well taken care of - the water is pristine and the boardwalks protect the area. We absolutely loved this park

Overwhelming experience seeing the whales so up close

Very peaceful experience, you’re literally hanging out in a beach, watching the whales at close distance. Our guide Leandro was superb and very accommodating.

What can I say regarding one of the most important tourist attractions in the world. You just have to experience it.

You get it experience the glacier up close and personal! Definitely recommend doing this.

Great time watching seals.

A nice Hotel in Central Athens. It was difficult to find at first. The breakfast Buffet is excellent and the staff were nice. Our A/C worked well. Our room was very plain, with no decor at all, not even photographs. The Shower leaked so we needed to put down many towels on the floor to stop it from soaking everything.

Nice hotel but very hands off. Reception is only available from 9-5 so if you plan to show up after that time, or need something you will have a problem. We arrived at 730pm and had to get another guest to let us into the building, and our keys were sitting at reception. Breakfast is at the restaurant next door and was good. You order off the menu. Our room was nice, the A/C worked well and there was a small sink and dishes available. We had a balcony with a nice view. Our only complaint is that the shower/bathroom is very small.

This was our favorite hotel of the trip. Breakfast was delicious, the room was lovely, the staff were very friendly and helpful.

We really enjoyed staying here. The food was good (they grow their own fruit!) the room was comfortable and the view was outstanding.

While scenic, this was very long trip. It was around 12 hours of which 10 hours were on board the ship

Very close to the Promenade and popular areas. Plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from. The staff is AMAZING. Super kind and helpful. My sister was not feeling well the second day of the trip and they went above and beyond to make her comfortable. Rooms are SMALL but it is to be expected being so close to the beach and tourist area.

Cute and clean hotel! Comfy beds and modern interior. Very close to the center and shopping/dining options. Good breakfast options. Staff was fantastic!! Although it is modern interior, the building itself is very old so beware of drainage issues as proven-- we had an issue with the drainage (will save the gory details but it STUNK!) in our room at 11pm at night and Elsie quickly and efficiently moved us to a different room. The rooftop terrace is a must to unwind with a cocktail!

Spacious and close to the center and lot of shopping/dining options. We had our AC unit leak at 4am in the morning, and the front desk were able to help us with extra towels and buckets (not a lot they, or anyone, can do at 4am). The staff was super helpful and accommodating- they upgraded us to a junior suite the next afternoon and even took care of moving our bags to the new room, when it was ready.

This trip covers a lot in short amount of time, so if you want to spend more time in these areas opt for a full day tour. The tour guide was nice and informative.

The tour was mediocre to begin with but turned horrible later in the day. Although the tour says "Full day" it is half a day--stops at Cannes and Antibes were rushed. On the last stop of the day at Saint-Paul de Vence (~1hr away from Nice) we lost our day bag at a coffee shop and my sister had to go back and track our steps to find it, the guide was extremely insulting (I waited by the car while my sister was looking for our bag because we were concerned the driver would leave without us) I heard him talk with the other members of our tour group how "Americans have no respect to anyone else's time" and "I know Indians do not have a good educational background" (I am of Indian decent) totally inappropriate and insulting. His "another tour at 2pm and you made me very late" statements were very unnecessary and overshadowed the happy moments that day for everyone. The whole energy of the group changed afterwards. I understand these tour guides have multiple tours on the same day booked and have to be very precise on their timings-- but there was no need to stoop low and make those comments. I know it is biased opinion, but I urge you to not book with this tour company. No one deserves to be insulted on their vacation.

If you are someone who loves perfumes this is a must do! The staff is very helpful and guide you through the process. better to use a personal car than public transport as they were unreliable (at least on the day we visited Grasse).

Amazing day! great tour guide. Gabrielle was very informative and extremely helpful. She used a mic so everyone could hear what she was saying.

Central location with amazing history in the hotel itself. The staff is super helpful and kind. Loved the breakfast and the concept that it doesn't have specific timings like other hotels. You just let the staff know when to expect you in the mornings for breakfast and what you want, and they handle the rest.

Comfy and spacious rooms. Walking distance from must see attractions of Evora. There is a pool (ice cold so beware!) and free parking in the underground section which is very convenient. Staff was very nice and accommodating.

Convenient location, very walkable to number of activities. Extremely clean and spacious rooms. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Make sure to get a room facing the Marina!

one word--- AMAZING!!! Our guide, Sophia was fantastic, she gave us insides of the history and introduced us to amazing food. It is a walking tour so make sure you have comfortable footwear and water.

Very fun and a must do in Lisbon! Our guide was funny and very informative.

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Great evening spent with authentic Fado. Must do!

Get ready for a full day! it is a must do. Our guide Bernard was kind, patient and very knowledgeable. The transport vehicle is comfortable and even has Wi-Fi. 10/10 recommend!

Very informative tour of Evora! a must do. The chapel of bones is a must see. Beautiful town with lots of Gothic and Roman history.

A must do fun activity on the water!! Benagil Caves is magnificent. The guides Patrick and Sam were great. If you can't kayak don't worry you have a small lesson before going out on the water and there are always two guides with the group. The tour guides give you a brief history of the caves and how they were formed. They take you to other smaller caves as well, that's what sets this tour apart from the rest.
