Kimkim Trip Reviews

Breathtaking view

The view was amazing

The hotel was clean and the staff were very friendly.

George was a great guide. We traveled effortlessly for 7KM around the Acropolis and other historical neighborhoods. Saw the changing of the guard at the presidential palace. Unforgettable.

We did this tour on the first full day in Santorini and it gave us a great knowledge of the island and helped us plan the next several days.

We really enjoyed our tour guide, Alex. He was informative about the history of Athens. He showed empathy towards our daughter. He took notice of her heat exhaustion and quickly responded to it by offering her water and a snack.

What a great way to end our time in Santorini. The geology of the island OD without equal. And the sunset … Wow!

Beautiful scenery and a great crew. Highlight of the trip.

Fun experience! Learned about the local cuisine and hope it would be prepared by the locals

The busiest and least personable of the hotels we visited.

A MUST VISIT hotel, a short walk from down town Hoi An, which is good as you are out of the way of the noise and hustle. The service from this hotel from start to finish was EXCEPTIONAL. It is a beautiful boutique hotel with a lovely pool area and bar. The staff were just sensational and our room was beautiful.

Very helpful, friendly staff and nice hotel with sufficient amenities in the centre of old Hue.

SUPERB from start to finish. EXCEPTIONAL. AMAZING CABINS!!! WONDERFUL STAFF.

SIMPLY WONDERFUL from start to finish.

STUNNING hotel set in the rice terraces of Pu Luong. AMAZING room with beautiful view over the terraces to the mountains. We were the only guests at the hotel so had exclusive access to the infinity pool, bar, restaurant. Everything was just wonderful and I highly recommend this hotel and that you visits Pu Luong.

Very professional and friendly service in a city centre ‘ old town ‘ hotel. Ideal location for seeing the real old Hanoi.

We did some temples, Tomb Raider for one, today as because it was a public holiday we switched activity days. We were glad to see Tomb Raider separately from the other temples so we could really appreciate it and it was our favourite. Lunch was great. The floating village experience was excellent although it was hard to see the conditions in which people live along the river and in the villages. A very raw experience. Channel, our guide was excellent and is a truly lovely genuine man.

A must do while in Cambodia experience.

We had a great day. It was a long drive. Interesting visit to brick making and coconut candy making etc. The Mekong River boat trip was wonderful and the food at the home stay was delicious. A very special experience.

The cooking demonstrator was excellent an d super friendly and lots of fun and I loved what I cooked. The trip around the markets was great too and the cafe where we had tea. Highly recommend this tour.

Simply LOVED this experience and the guide was EXCELLENT. Everything about this morning was brilliant. LOVED IT

Had a super fun day but did not realise it was a theme park. Felt a bit rushed. The lunch buffet was out of this world and the cable car a big adventure.

We definitely felt rushed on this trip by the guide. It was quite a long drive for a short experience. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable but we just felt rushed.

One of the highlights of our trip. This felt very special / authentic. Everything about this was terrific.

We didnt do this as there had been torrential rain the day and night before and we didnt fancy the leeches or walking in the mud, so Cuong organised an alternate activity for us which we thoroughly enjoyed

Loved Tam Coc, one of our favourite places and cycling the town then going down the river was one of our highlight experiences.

We loved this activity even with the rain. Felt like locals and the scenery was stunning and Cuong was very good company.

Outstanding service and team on the Dragon Legend. Felt like royalty!

We just loved this activity. Simple, basic, raw and authentic. Stunning scenery.

Cuong made this lots of fun! We loved the food and the adventure and this was a great start to our trip.

Cuong was a BRILLIANT guide and Realistic Asia is very lucky to have him. H ensured we had the best time in Hanoi, saw all the most important sites and had lots of fun ‘ at our pace. He is very kind and caring.

BEAUTIFUL place to stay! It is out of the way and in its own space. They have a great restaurant with yummy dinners and breakfast! The rooms are individual cabins in the rainforest which was really wonderful and private. So relaxing and comfortable. They have miles of trails/tracks on the reserve. You want to be sure to have a day to just stay on the property!

This was a lovely hotel. We stayed in an apartment so had access to laundry and a kitchen. Very conviently located in Port Douglas. Silkari does not have restraunt - But they partner with the Ramada next door with discounts at dinner and breakfast! Very comfortable, I would stay there again!

Northern Australia is really cool. We started our afternoon adventure

What a great day! Spending the day with Del and birding was so much fun. We were near the end of our trip so had seen quite a lot of different species. Even so Del got me 22 lifers and 75 species for the day! Just WOW! He knows where specific species like to be. When we found a bird, he made sure we were standing in the right place to get some pretty amazing shots. Del is incredibly knowledgeably, super friendly and so interesting. I highly recommend Fine Feather Tours with Del.

LOVED LOVED LOVED This day! Everything about ABC Snorkel Charters was amazing. The crew were very professional and knowledgeable. They had Prescription Goggles!!!!! That is a HUGE game changer! They also fed us snacks and lunch. Every step of the way we were asked if we had questions or concerns. They always want us to be comfortable and safe. Best of all their knowledge of the Great Barrier Reef. We were taken to the most incredible places and saw the most beautiful reef and fish! This IS the company to go with to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef!!!!!

What a BLAST! We had Glen to guide us for the day. We had a great time. We choose a long ride (40km) so I loved having an electric bike. My husband used a standard bike and was soo happy with the ride. We went through many ecosystems, the differences were really neat. Glen even humored us and we did birding and biking. woo hoo. The equiptment was all in top shape. The logistics were well thought out. We all earned our beer on the beach at the end!

Small room

Close to city area Rooms large Comfortable beds Good breakfast

Good location Comfortable beds Near attractions and neighbouring towns

Close up to dancers Excellent show

Excellent guide Showed us nooks and crannies for best photos

Excellent guide

Good food There were 6 - 8 dishes not the 10- 12 mentioned in app

Unsure where to go from train stationnbut found way

Enough time to see cathedral and Alcazar Knowledgeable guide

The location was wonderful, the amenities were very good, the staff was very friendly and helpful. In fact, the best meal we had was at a local restaurant across the street in the commercial center (2nd Floor) which someone recommended. We used the spa, which was well priced and a nice treat. The rooms were large and comfortable and ours had air conditioning. The negative which keeps them from 5 stars is that you cannot flush the toilet paper in the toilets. They should upgrade the system to handle that.

Our tour guide was fantastic.

Romantic 🥰

Best hike ever. Beautiful views.

It’s everything I don’t like in a hotel. Big, soulless down a development of other horrid hotels. Big rooms , soulless and the air conditioning has an awful chemical smell that made me feel sick. It was clean and staff were very nice. Breakfast was awful.

Damp, our room was right at bottom of Stoney track and staff totally disinterested. Didn’t even know we were arriving and it was not busy. Dirty sofa was our first impression of room and not enough hot water for a shower.

Excellent central location within walking distance of Museum Belles Artes . Vibe is rather corporate and formal, lacking charm, the rooms dark and soulless although very clean and well appointed, huge bed, smart bathroom but the water wasn’t hot. Room right by atrium so noisy whilst breakfast was being set up early morning. Breakfast food rather average, good fruit and juices, everything else rather stale and dry. Redeeming feature were the restaurant staff who were all so sweet and attentive and a few of the reception staff

Beautiful boutique style hotel , spacious, light filled with the most fabulous roof top lounge area , small pool, sun lounge and restaurant. Food was uncomplicated, delicious and beautifully presented . The staff at Los Pilares were so helpful and efficient. Always with a genuine smile. Loved this place and was so sad to leave it!

Beautiful boutique hotel just on the edge of Pueblo. Loved all the exotic greenery, tasteful decor and location

Already reviewed. Fabulous

We started with a tour of the local market, a local church to soak up the vibe and cultural richness of this small town just outside oaxaca. Our guide Alejandro was so knowledgeable and relaxed and really knows food and the history of his country. Our cooking experience was so special and we felt so privileged to spend time with this family and cook with them. Dalia planned a menu to suit our unsettled tummies and used herbs to promote digestion and healing in the most delicious soup and chicken broth. We made tacos which was great fun and ground cacoa nibs and made them into a delicious treat. We will always remember this . So special.

Already given a description of this. Top experience.

Loved this city and our hotel. Easy to walk around and absorb the atmosphere.

Without this tour we would never have fully appreciated the significance of the street art we saw. Stories of the artists, the subject matter and techniques. Our guide Ariel was an absolute gem. So knowledgeable and passionate about his city and art. Fabulous English too. We had a great morning with him cycling around the best of the murals. This is a must activity to really fall in love with Oaxaca

Another wonderful guide that transformed this experience. Very knowledgeable about the national park and genuinely a mountain lover! We started at 4000 meters and climbed to 4500 meters of the “ white lady”. Hard at this altitude so got a real sense of achievement. We also met some very funny and friendly fellow climbers.

Fascinating place and guide good

Again it was our guide Pablo that made this one of the most enjoyable cultural tours we did. His knowledge of the artefacts and Diego’s motivation to collect , what each piece represented was astounding and thus knowledge lay the foundation to every thing else we went into see. Brilliant experience

Pablo is a real authority on this . Not to be missed

My bed was sooo uncomfortable. I got a terrible stiff neck and soar back and felt sick from not getting any good sleep. I tried to cancel the last 3 nights of my reservation (48 hours ahead of time) as I was leaving for Aqua Calientes for a few days but they REFUSED. It was sooo bad I paid to stay in a hotel instead. I will NEVER stay here again. There are way better hotel options in the same price range as a private room.

Pretty nice, comfy private rooms, centrally located, friendly staff. In the bar downstairs they have a fun welcome drink / jenga game every night for guests and live music many of the nights. Good common areas including a little library and movie theater. Good bar food and a coffee shop downstairs too.

The most comfortable hotel I stayed at during my 2 weeks in Peru. Nice sized clean room, comfy bed. Close to everything. Really appreciated the water refilling machine in a town where everything costs at least double :)

Very nice staff, room was clean but tiny and the bed was uncomfortable.

What a wonderful and unique experience! Open air rooms with nothing but the buzz of the jungle to lull you to sleep. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Delicious food and fresh juices. I loved lying in the hammock, drinking a cold one on a hot day and listening to the Amazon's natural symphony. p.s. get a massage :)

Wow, it lives up to the expectations in every way. It's so overwhelmingly beautiful it's a spiritual experience. The surrounding area is beautiful too.

Perfect amount of time to tour the city. Valerio was very knowledgeable. Plenty of opportunities for post card photos.

Life changing experience for me! Gorgeous views the entire way. The boxed lunch was soo delicious. You will never forget the feeling of satisfaction when you walk through the sun gate and look down on a world wonder. Wiñay Wayna was amazing too.

Such a one of kind experience. Up high on a hill in the Sacred Valley surrounded by jagged snow capped mountains. Llamas and Alpacas grace the grounds and eat corn husks from your hands. The food was delicious, the ambiance is top notch. We caught the ATV rides from here not Moras, which I'm glad we did because this area has much more beautiful scenery.

Valerio helped me be prepared while not overpacking, which I was very grateful for the next day on the trail :)

Beautiful ancient ruins and salt mines. Riding an ATV surrounded by mountains was so much fun. The Sacred Valley was majestic. Ollantaytambo was such a charming town to visit and stay in on the way to Machu Picchu. Again, Valerio was a fantastic guide.

Well rounded tour of Incan ruins with beautiful city views. Valerio was a very friendly and knowledgable guide. We took a detour to an Alpaca factory where I found some beautiful handmade gifts.

If you'd like to try one the world's top rated restaurants (Central, Kjolle etc) book at least 3 months ahead of time! Either way there are soooo many good restaurants with availability. Check out the 100+ stray cats in Kennedy Park, good place to buy souvenirs too.

Overall it was a very enjoyable and unique experience. I would be interested in what activities the other lodges offer as Refugio's are pretty limited unless you're an avid bird watcher.

Well rounded sampling of delicious Peruvian foods. Our guide was very knowledgeable so we enjoyed learning about the foods as much as eating them. I wish there was more fish including Ceviche. Also, it's much more of a food tour, we did not explore very much of the city

Amazing chef and staff!!!

The breakfast was great and the staff very helpful but the location is at the busiest and loudest part of the port and we had people sleeping outside of the entrance during our stay which made it difficult to get in and out of the hotel.

We had a very poor day weather wise and really the trip should have been canceled , but it wasn't so we had to go or lose our money.

Excellent dinner, superb wait staff and the singer was fantastic

Very good location and efficient check in check out process. Front office staff (I think his name was Christian) was extremely polite and helpful. Made sure we got the room we liked and offered us the fan in the room as it did not have air conditioning Breakfast could have been better by changing the menu. Everyday same options were repeated. All in all very good hotel.

Very good location and efficient check in check out process. Breakfast could have been better by changing the menu. Everyday same options were repeated. Parking next to the hotel was very useful All in all very good hotel.

Beautiful town and worth the visit

We had planned to visit on Monday but it was closed so we went the next day

Driver was very rude and aggressive. My wife was a bit slow in getting off the bus and the guide taunted with lot of sarcasm “Oh I thought you are going to stay on the bus” When I asked him that we have booked the tour so why do we need to buy the entrance tickets for the Forest, the guide Complained nobody listens to me when I am talking and that we are wasting his free time by asking questions and that he does not get any tips. Guide told us that he spend DK 1,200 to bring us to the Forest (Is that our fault) When we asked him to open the bus so that we can get our bag that we have left behind, again he was aggressive and said that we are wasting his time but will oblige us just because we said please. The guide said that he is not discriminating. The fact that the guide said that is proof that he was in fact discriminating because we were the only dark skinned people in the bus. My wife was very nervous and felt threatened with the aggressive and hostile behavior of the guide to the extent that she started weeping. We had to abandon the trip and take a taxi in the rains back to the hotel, which meant 1 entire day wasted. Solveig was very kind and supportive and comforted us by offering to book a taxi for us.

Most of the cafe and restaurant were closed. It was like a curfew

We had a nice quiet stay here. We had two rooms adjoining by a private hallway, which was very nice. It is an older hotel but has nice updates. The breakfast was very good, and it is within a few minutes walk of Plaka and the historical sites. The view from the bar is quite nice! We did not have an Acropolis view from our room but it was quiet except on the one weekend night we stayed there.

This is a gem of a hotel. Perfectly situated in Ivermiglio, which was a quiet village with nice restaurants, supermarkets and some shops. The family room had a double bed on the first floor, along with sitting room, kitchenette. The upper loft had two twin beds, so it was great for the family. Our room was right on the Fira to Oia trail, so we could easily get down to Fira. The staff here is so so so lovely. They helped direct us to things to do, were so kind, and offered us breakfast sandwiches for our early morning checkout (they even had someone come early to help us take our bags to the street). It is a boutique hotel experience that is not to be missed. The sunset views here are 100% phenomenal!!!

We had a nice time here! It is close to the downtown area for walking, and had free parking (we rented a car). The rooftop pool was a hit. Our room was nice and big, and had a balcony, so it worked very well for our family of 4. The breakfast is delicious!! Very nice help from the staff with parking.

This was a really nice day with Argyros Travel. Our driver Takis and guide Harry were great. We got to Oia for some pictures before the crowds, and then traveled down to Megalochori to see an older town and original cave house. Then we went to Akrotiri for a guided tour (it was very cool!!). After Akrotiri we did the Atlantis museum, then over to Black Beach for lunch at a restaurant Mario, which was wonderful and had a beautiful view. We learned a lot about Santorini's history, culture, and the tourism industry.

The Koronekes Olive Mill is such a lovely experience! Our guide was really informative and we learned a lot about the olive oil process and the island of Crete. Also, the lunch at Bakaliko was so delicious. The servers were lovely, and they suggested some great dishes and wines for us.

We had a wonderful tour guide who met us at the Acropolis Metro and then walked us to the top of the Acropolis and then the Agora, and gave us great insight into the history. Our guide was wonderful , incredibly knowledgeable and kind. She knew that our family already knew a lot of the Greek mythology history, and so she gave us some insider tips on other things to see in the area. She could also tell when our kids were getting bored and fading, and helped us find them some ice cream to cool off between our stops.

We were picked up by the Santos transfer on time and had a nice trip to the port where we waited for our boat to arrive. The group on our boat was mostly couples and one other family with young children. The trip included 1 hour at the volcano crater (which is just enough time to walk to the top and back down), then we sailed to an area where we could swim to hot springs. After that, we sailed to a second area for swimming followed by a delicious dinner, then back around to the port near Oia to watch the sunset. Overall it was a lovely day!

We left our hotel around 5 PM and went to dinner at tavern near Sounio. The meal wasn't our favorite of the trip, but there aren't a lot of restaurant choices near Sounio. The cape and the Temple of Poseidon did not disappoint! We got there around 7:30 PM and had enough time to walk around and find a spot to watch the sunset.

The private tour of the palace was a really great event. Our tour guide was well-informed, took time to answer the kids questions, kept them engaged, and helped us take lovely family photos!

This was our favorite day! We had a lovely driver and our tour guide at Delphi was wonderful. We learned so much about both modern and ancient Greece! The lunch at the olive grove was so delicious and a wonderful end to our day!

Great location and lovely hotel. Room was quite small though.

Actual hotel is lovely and kind of funky, but the overall building/elevator is a bit suspect.

Loved the location and the breakfast! And, the staff was very friendly. The mattresses and the linens need an upgrade.

LOVED everything about the Villa Mary! The wonderful location away from the craziness of Positano, the amazing view from the plunge pool, delicious breakfast on your private balcony and the warmth of the hotel staff. Stay here!!

Definitely NOT enough time in Pompeii -- was pretty disappointed we could not stay and explore more. There are huge lines with tour groups from Cruise ships so you need to build in more time to accomodate for this. Would have wanted more time on our own to explore after tour ended.

Great family run business! Had a blast!

Highlight by far was Ravello - glad the driver recommended to spend most of the time there.

Already wrote about it -- NOT a hidden bead -- totally overcrowded and not at all what was advertised.

Amazing hike -- tour guide was very knowlegable. Think his name was Guiseppe?

You Know is a great tour company -- Ross in particular did an amazing job.

This was the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at.

A charming boutique hotel. It was well situated and quiet. The staff was accommodating and friendly if not always present.
