Kimkim Trip Reviews

Very nice hotel with a small kitchen in the room. Our room had a HUGE covered porch with outdoor furniture. Very private space, quiet. The decor is simple and modern, all very clean lines.

The hotel is very nice. The lobby is a bit tired, but I think having everything white makes keeping it looking 100% nearly impossible. While the staff were all nice, the vibe was kind of "trying to be more cosmopolitan that we really are". While there were common areas for guests the gather, there were signs like "no eating or drinking here", which kind of makes you not want to hang out and talk to people!

FANTASTIC from the moment we stepped in the door. Super friendly, like visiting friends. The entire staff went out of the their way to provide excellent service and whatever level of interaction you preferred was matched. The breakfast is SO much food - all prepared fresh each day. Baked goods, sweets, savory, cereals...literally SO much to choose from. The porch on our room overlooked the natural field next door and the sea below - stunning, peaceful, safe - perfect. The hot tub and heated pool that we could reserve for private use was fantastic after our long days of sight-seeing, walking, hiking and exploring.

Nice hotel. Excellent location for "seeing the sights", but because of that, it's in a crowded, bustling area. Our room was also right next to the elevator, which didn't help with noise. Spacious room, comfy bed, a nice little balcony - overall, a good experience. The breakfast buffet was extensive and fresh each day. And they staff were all helpful and pleasant. Noise is the reason for the 4 and not a 5.

The E-Bike Exploration of Milos Highlights and Beaches was one of our favorite activities in Greece. Our guide had a very relaxed, easygoing style that made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. He was knowledgeable about the island and shared plenty of information at each stop, but never overdid it or turned the experience into a lecture. What we especially appreciated was that he quickly recognized that our group of four were experienced cyclists. Rather than making us ride at a very slow pace, he allowed us to have some fun on the bikes while still keeping the group safe and together. It struck the perfect balance between sightseeing and actually enjoying the ride. We never felt rushed and were given plenty of time at each stop to take photos, explore, and enjoy the scenery. As an added bonus, he shared a local treat with us, which was a thoughtful touch and added to the authentic feel of the experience. If you're looking for a fun, active way to see Milos with a knowledgeable and adaptable guide, this tour is highly recommended.

We enjoyed walking all around the village, exploring the winding streets and the old buildings. We visited several restaurants and many shops.

We went back to Serakiniko Beach rather than hiking - we loved it there and jumping off the rocks was very fun!

This was a lot of fun - we took the Ferry directly from Parikia to Antiparos and then the ferry to Nousa and the bus back to Parikia. Somehow we decided to follow a couple that looked like they knew where they were going on Antiparos, and we ended up on the only nude beach on the island! It happened to be right next to the Camping Antiparos, where they kindly lent us a sun umbrella and directed us to a lovely, completely empty beach right off a post card.

We were disappointed with the Paros E-Bike Tour because it did not match the experience that was advertised. The tour was supposed to last approximately four hours, but our experience was under two hours. We also did not visit any of the sites listed in the tour description, which was a major reason we booked it in the first place. The description mentioned local food, but the only snack provided was a packaged power bar. We were also expecting water bottles, which were not provided, although the guide did offer us lemonade during one of our stops. We rode to Monastiri Beach and were directed toward the hike to the lighthouse, but were only given 30 minutes to complete it, which simply wasn't enough time to fully enjoy the walk and the views before needing to return. Our guide was very pleasant and friendly, but she seemed somewhat distracted throughout the tour. She took several phone calls and frequently discussed a cooking class she was hosting later that evening, emphasizing how important it was because it involved 15 guests and significant revenue. Unfortunately, this left us feeling as though our tour was not her primary focus. Overall, the e-bikes were fun and Paros is beautiful, but the experience fell well short of the advertised itinerary, duration, and inclusions.

We enjoyed our Private Hike to the Mountain of Zeus and found our guide to be friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area. He shared interesting information about the history, landscape, and local culture throughout the hike. The only reason for 4 rather than 5 stars is that the pace was slower than we would have preferred. There were quite a few stops along the way and more time spent resting at the summit than we needed. Since we're from Colorado, the elevation wasn't a factor for us and we're both experienced, fit hikers who would have enjoyed moving at a faster pace. That said, the scenery was beautiful, the guide was excellent, and it was a memorable way to experience Naxos.

We enjoyed having leisurely time to explore

We had a wonderful experience on the Mythology Sunset Walk and Wines of Naxos tour. Our guide was outstanding—right on time, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and excellent at keeping the group engaged and in good spirits throughout the afternoon. He balanced storytelling, local history, and mythology perfectly while making sure everyone stayed together and the tour moved along smoothly and on schedule. The sunset views were beautiful, the wine tasting was enjoyable, and the entire experience felt well-organized and relaxed. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn more about Naxos while enjoying a memorable evening.

We didn't do this - due to weather (wind) they requested that we switch to a morning activity rather than sunset. We declined as we had already made other plans. We really wanted to do this one, too!

We did not do this activity - the company apparently forgot to contact us that it was cancelled. We waited in the lobby for 30 minutes, then reached out to Kimkim. It was resolved quickly and easily.

Our guide was above and beyond - he knew everything, was engaging, gave us so much information!

We skipped the museums and wandered outdoors more so we could experience more of the quaint. twisting streets, cats, antiquities and people-watching.

Clear instructions and we got to see a lot. We were a bit wiped out from traveling all night, but we really enjoyed the areas we saw.

This was cancelled due to the change to a pickup time 2 hours earlier than we were informed. This would have meant no breakfast or coffee, and a very long drive each way. Not what we had anticipated.

Great hotel and staff.

Great hosts. Friendly and with excellent knowledge and skill.

This was our favorite hotel- Wow was it beautifully appointed and special

We loved the location of this fun and unique hotel!

Beautifully located, well appointed

Juanmil was an amazingly informative historian and guide. We loved this private experience, it felt very individualized and crowd free. A Kim Kim gem for sure. And in our case, because of our wonderful guide!

This was a bit stuffy and crowded and not exceptional

Martha was an incredible guide and host. We learned so much from her and the tapas were in such a beautiful event space. The group size was special and it really was a unique and one of a kind event, thanks to the delicious wine and food, and mostly to Martha!

Helmut was an amazing captain, we loved the size and relaxed format of this trip. The tapas and information provided by the deck hand (I wish I remembered her name) were some of the best bites of food we had in Spain!!

Juan was an incredible guide. We had so much fun with him tasting our way through the streets of Palma! We loved the small group and the personalized nature.

Lovely in every facet!

Unique hotel room with all the amenities.

Very nice hotel with perfect accommodations.

Well appointed hotel, situated in the midst of a bustling area of great restaurants and shops.

So wonderful to be out on the water, in the Caldera. Loved the numerous stops and the opportunity to snorkel. The food was amazing and the sunset at the end was spectacular.

I don't think we'll ever have another hiking experience like this one. It was long and a bit challenging for this 63-year-old but the satisfaction in completing it was amazing. My son also did the little detour to the Skaros Rock, which he absolutely loved.

Walking thru the old town of Naxos was a great experience, tasting a host of specialties and learning about the culture.

It felt like a dream when we reached the top of the Acropolis and saw the Parthenon.

A slightly worn historic hotel with great amenities ( included breakfast), expansive lobby and onsite restaurant. The room (502) is noisy, partially due to the Miami club across the street and thin walls between rooms. Room size is expansive but lacks meaningful storage, recommended 2 folding luggage racks for storage. Daily included breakfast offers European variety. The courtyard bar and restaurant provide a calm formal experience. We visited here 3 of 5 nights with positive experiences each time.

Such a wonderful experience at Hotel Davanzati! Convenient location, great amenities (included breakfast, teatime and evening reception), comfortable and quiet room. But most importantly, every Hotel Associate we interacted with was so friendly and helpful, making our stay stellar!

Fantastic view and wonderful breakfast with tea, coffee, fresh juices, fresh fruits, meats and cheeses as well as croissants, toast and jam. Very nice! The medieval village was exceptionally charming and we loved it here.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️

Spectacular view. Lovely beach a short walk away.

Rooftop pool with bar and tapas was very nice. We enjoyed the pool, sauna and the friendly staff. Our room and bed were comfortable and very nice central location.

Our tour guide was lovely and we had a lot of fun and enjoyed the conversation and the wine.

Within walking distance to the Acropolis. Lots of shopping and resaurants nearby. Very modern and wonderful staff.

Beautiful hotel in Old Town Chania. So much charm and character in this hotel. Right along the waterfront and lots of shopping and restaurants.

Our stay at Hotel Residence in Amalfi was absolutely exceptional. Waking up to panoramic vistas of the sparkling coastline and enjoying sunset from the terrace made this trip truly unforgettable. A particular highlight was the incredible Michelin-starred restaurant in the hotel. The dining experience was outstanding, with exquisite cuisine, impeccable service, and a stunning setting that perfectly complemented our stay.

Hotel Keti is located over 115 stair below the main walk way and shops. Be prepared to get your steps in. Beautifully located on the side of the cliff, they have amazing views. The breakfast was amazing, and the staff were the most wonderful people we had ever met. Friendly and knowledgeable. They were always happy to help us from restaurant recommendations , to how to get on the bus and go to Oia. We really appreciated their customer service and graciousness. They made us feel at home. We hope to return back .

This hotel is in the perfect spot in Athens, Greece. Located below the Parthenon, in Plaka, you are close to near by shops, grocery stores, restaurants, and bars. The staff was very courteous and friendly. The room was very nice. The rooftop bar has amazing food and beverages, and at sunset you can see the Parthenon and all of its glory. We look forward to staying here again.

Our transport driver was amazing. She told us about the land and how Greece uses it agriculture. She was wonderful at explaining the ski resort that we went through into Delphi. At the end of our tour in Delphi she took us to a wonderful restaurant for my birthday. Oh my it was so good. The staff was amazing. Best birthday experience. Our Tour Guide in Delphi was very nice. He was very knowledgeable of the landmarks and how they came to be.

Katerina was our tour guide and she is awesome. My husband and found how she told the stories of the tour to be amazing. She was so detailed and made you feel like as you walked that you were getting a once in a life time experience. She took us on a little hike that showed the Parthenon in the background, to tasting delicious ice cream and sorbet. Along the trip we stopped at a local cafe, where we tasted Greek coffee, which my husband loves, and I tried another type of coffee and love it as well. Out of the whole trip this was our favorite excursion. We hope to do the food tour with her when we go back.

We had the best time at the cooking class. We learned how to make Greek Street food. From Gyros, to Greek cheese cake, to making spice feta cheese it was an experience that we would not forget. The family was so welcoming. We all laughed, and had wonderful experience with food and wine. Learning how to make homemade pita bread was great. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. We hope to return and learn something new.

LOVED this experience! You can never have too much food in Tokyo - Plus we got the added bonus of great views and experiences along the way since it was a walking tour. Our Guide was amazing and we were her last tour ever! The food selection was wonderful and very different at each location so we got to experience a little bit of everything!

Zumi was absolutely wonderful!!!! He was super friendly and knowledgeable! He was great at taking pics as well! he made the day seem effortless and he knew all the best spots to see the Cherry Blossoms! 10/10 would recommend Zumi to anyone going to Kyoto!!!

This was such a fun experience! I got to wear a traditional Kimono and the Tea Ceremony was fully immersive!

We were not there in the tourist season and often felt like the only guests which affected the service. It was adequate. The restaurant menu was very limited and the site remote enough to make easy access of other restaurants difficult. The bar did make a really good mojito.

This was our favorite site as we were right on the beach, had great service and a good restaurant and bar. The layout is very tropical making fun for each of us. We enjoyed both pool and hot tub. Our last day there was a huge rain which ended up causing our cabin to be surronded by about 2 feet of water. So they moved us to the Tree House for our last night which was fun. For the move staff carried our luggage out of the cabin keeping everything dry. We missed the shower of the cabin and enjoyed the adventure of the event.

We loved this hotel. It was our favorite of the places we stayed in Japan because the room was the most comfortable and more spacious. The breakfast buffets were very good (they do get crowded) and just what we needed to start our day. Great views of the city from our room on the 23rd floor. Easy to walk to all types of food, shopping and gaming.

This hotel is located near a lot of restaurants and shopping. It was a great location for us to do our day trips during our time in Kyoto. The beds were firm but comfortable. The room was nice and had everything that we needed during our stay. The breakfasts were very good. The concierge was very helpful for a couple of things that we needed during our stay. This is a more modern place to stay but we were right at home here.

Beautiful hotel in a great location. It was very comfortable and they treated us very nicely upon arrival. The breakfast buffet was one of our favorites during our trip to Japan. I wish we had more time at this location but this was just a one night stay that allowed us to get settled before our transfer to Kyoto.

Our sushi‑making class with Nobu was a wonderful experience. He taught us about the different types of sushi and guided us step‑by‑step as we made several varieties ourselves. Nobu was funny, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, and his expertise made the class both educational and fun. Best of all, we got to enjoy the delicious sushi we created. This was a highlight of our trip, and we highly recommend it.

Our guided tour of Tokyo with Masa was excellent. He asked what we were most interested in and tailored the day perfectly. After enjoying beautiful city views from a high‑rise observation deck, he took us shopping for Harry Potter, Pokémon, and Star Wars merchandise — a big hit for our family. We had a delicious lunch at a shopping center, where we enjoyed ramen and dumplings, and then spent the afternoon walking through the Emperor’s grounds, taking in the peaceful scenery and learning about the history of the area.

Our bar‑hopping evening in Tokyo with Tadashi was outstanding. He took us to three very different local restaurants, each with its own style and specialties. We started with incredible Wagyu beef and sake — both seared and served in a bowl of noodles — and Tadashi, being a sushi chef, explained every dish and drink in wonderful detail. The second stop focused on fresh seafood, sushi‑style, and the final restaurant featured Okinawan cuisine with delicious pork dishes. The beer at the last stop was pretty good, especially mixed with the fruit juices. We ended the night with Blue Seal sugar cane ice cream, which was absolutely heavenly. Tadashi was warm, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun and memorable. We highly recommend this tour.

Our Akihabara tour with Yuuki was fantastic. He took the time to learn what our son likes and brought us to shops that carried merchandise from his favorite games. He even helped our son track down a specific Pokémon card he wanted for his collection, which made the day extra special. Yuuki also took us through several arcades and played games with us, which made the experience fun and interactive. For lunch, he brought us to a revolving sushi restaurant that was a hit with all of us. Yuuki was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour feel personalized and enjoyable. We highly recommend this experience.

We had a fantastic day in Nara with Peco, even with the rain. She guided us through the beautiful temple grounds and gardens, and we loved getting to see — and feed — the famous Nara deer. Peco shared great stories and history throughout the day, making each stop feel meaningful. She took us to a cozy local restaurant for lunch, where we enjoyed delicious food, and later introduced us to a sake tasting that was a fun surprise. We ended the day riding the bullet train back, which was a great experience in itself. On the ride to Nara, we experienced the special train that was very comfortable and relaxing. Peco was warm, knowledgeable, and made the entire day enjoyable despite the weather. We highly recommend this tour.

We had a great time visiting the Samurai Ninja Museum. This was a very informative experience. We were guided from the 3rd floor down to the 2nd floor to see different information on the history of the Samurai and Ninjas. We had the opportunity to participate in a ninja star throwing contest and get our photos taken as we dressed like a Samurai. Full tour that didn't take too long.

Our hidden‑route hike at Fushimi Inari with Ryoma was outstanding. He guided us through a quiet bamboo forest used for harvesting, then led us up a much less crowded path to the mountaintop — steep steps, but beautiful and peaceful. Along the way, we even met a carpenter who helps maintain the shrines, which made the experience feel truly special. The carpenter even allowed us to try our hand at planing a board using a hand tool. At the summit, Ryoma helped us make an offering at the shrine, explaining each step clearly. After the hike, he took us to a family‑owned restaurant that’s been in business for over 116 years, where we enjoyed a traditional Japanese meal sitting on the floor. We ended the day with delicious matcha ice cream.

Our private tour of Arashiyama with Peco was fantastic. She guided us on a beautiful hike up the mountain to see the monkeys, and the views over Kyoto were incredible. We visited several shrines along the way, each with its own story that Peco explained so well. One of our favorite moments was walking through the peaceful garden of a home once owned by a famous Japanese movie star — a spot we never would have found on our own. Peco was warm, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel effortless. We loved every part of this tour and highly recommend it.

This was an outstanding hotel for us to end our trip. Its location is perfect for exploring Marrakesh.

Just when you think the hotels can't get any better, you stay here and are treated by the kindest people. The garden area was beautifully kept, the breakfasts were so yummy, and the rooms were spacious and clean.

I half expected to see something from my Boy Scouting days, but boy was I blown away at these accommodations. I'd never heard the term 'glamping' before ... now I understand.

Best staff by far. Very welcoming and accommodating.

Breakfasts .... oh my!!!

The lunch was perhaps some of the best food we had. I'd like to think my family contributed a lot to that, but all the accolades go to the professionals who made the lunch incredibly special.

This was clearly the nicest facility that we stayed in. It was located just off one the main streets in the Medina and the alleys we walked through were cleaner and wider than the prior Riad. Rooms were large and clean with elegant bathrooms and efficient AC. Staff was readily accessible. On 1 occasion, we asked for directions and a staff member actually walked us out to the street in the manner of a Ritz Carlton. When we received the itinerary, I was actually indifferent about the spa and massage. However, it was well appreciated after the trek through the desert and a nice conclusion to our trip.

I feel like we should rate this an incomplete. It just felt very eerie as we were the only people staying in this facility and it was hard to tell "the vibe". The grounds, including the pool, spectacular view and chaises outside of each room were luxurious. Not unexpectedly, we had great service. There was a gentlemen who was our server at dinner who had very limited English and seemed so worried that he would get something wrong. Everything he served was perfect and he warranted a 100% tip on our dinner drinks.

We enjoyed the facility as it was the first time we encountered other travelers that we could socialize with in the desert and enjoyed chatting it up around the pool and dining room. Refreshing is an understatement when describing the feeling jumping in the pool after the previous day's camel root and tent stay.

I think by desert camp experiences, this probably rates highly but you need to be prepared for the overnight desert experience. We stayed in very early June and it never cooled adequately at night despite the attempts with fans.

The place was charming and well situated by a small creek. The location in Dades Valley was provided a relief from the otherwise sweltering temperatures and we were able to sleep with the windows open. The owner Mohammed was always available and attentive. Clearly obsessed with the operation as we would hear him barking instructions in the kitchen, then serving our meal, escorting us back to the hotel situated in the next building and then running back to the restaurant.

The location was very deep in the Medina as opposed to the last Riad and we had to navigate some questionable alleyways to get to the location. . The facility itself was very clean and food was excellent. We had a problem with the cold water faucet and were left with scalding water which prevented us from showering on the last day. I probably would have given this a 4 initially but downgraded it after our last Riad which was far superior.

Not much to say. It was a long drive with frequent scenic stops as were most of the drive. Full disclosure, drives are not something I would ever rate as a 5. However, I am going to make an exception here as there is no place to rate our driver Mohammed. The most important criteria for both of us is safety and that was one of my concerns. We never felt unsafe on the roads. It is easy to become impatient behind slow cars on single lane roads but Mohammed always waited for safe distance and visibility for passing. There only white knuckle experiences we saw were when other drivers tried to pass without adequate room and we would see cars in the opposite direction veering to the shoulder. Mohammed never attempted this. We also learned a great deal from Mohammed about daily life in Morocco and especially the small desert towns. Would definitely recommend him to other clients.

We've never done his before and not something I was looking forward to at the beginning of the trip. It was a very cleansing and refreshing experience after 5 days of heat, sand and saddle sores.

A short ride, glad to be done!

Prior to the tour, we were exhausted and it was incredibly hot. I was not looking forward to this but glad we acquiesced. The climb to the top was difficult on such a hot day. Our guide was excellent and we were also pleasantly surprised to learn about the Jewish-Berber coexistence in AB from our guide.

It was a drive, not much else

I wouldn't do it again but could not leave Morocco without the experience. The guide (Abdul) was incredible. I was in awe watching him walk up the dunes in 100 degree temps and in flip-flops. Yes, it was physically uncomfortable. However, the overall experience, particularly watching the desert sunset was a once in a lifetime bucket list item.

This was a long drive!

I wouldn't have been disappointed if we missed this. Traveling outside of large cities is dotted with roadside stands and this wasn't much different.

Whenever, we travel to a new location, we like to begin with a history introduction. The Bahia palace was a perfect first stop and introduced us to Morocco, but he was also knowledgeable on colonial and post-colonial Morocco. . There were several planned stops (Bahia palace and gardens). After that we wondered through the Medina and our guide showed flexibility in gauging our interest in various sites, markets, shops, etc. We are Jewish, did not inform the guide but were very appreciative of him pointing out the Jewish merchants and quarter. My only recommendation is to shorten the 4.5 hours. Maybe this is more manageable in the winter and early spring but we actually excused him and said goodbye after about 4 hours as we needed to sit, eat and rehydrate. Also, we wanted to go back to the Jewish quarter and he provided us directions from the square as we departed.
