Kimkim Trip Reviews

Great location Unique property taking a jelly factory & turning into a hotel

Very close to the beach Walking distance to the town center We had plenty of space

Was concerned about what the cruise ship because there are so many to choose from.. Such a beautiful ship and staff, my relatives that were with me was never on a cruise, so this was their introduction. They were concerned about sea sickness, the food choices, etc. We were all pleased with the MS Nile Premium. It is a small ship with I believe 56 rooms so not the size of Carnival or Norwegian cruise lines. The service was impeccable and the food absolutely delicious. The buffet had good choice options and each night there was different selection for their carving table. Veal and duck was my favorite, they must have knew. We relaxed on the top deck while cruising the Nile and enjoyed tea time. The guest were international, we met guest from Spain, Australia, Italy and every group had their personal tour guide that cruised on the ship as well.

Clean, spacious rooms and delicious food. Excellent service from staff and a pool table open to all guest. We played pool with guest from England and had such a good time, within our down time from our tours. The hotel has a relaxed atmosphere with beautiful surroundings.

The Cairo Tower is good for the few of Cairo , the food was good too but the restaurant needs updating. I would compare it to a local American restaurant like Olive Tree.

Location was excellent. Elegant, Clean, super comfortable bedding.

This is a simple studio with everything you need. Comfortable and a great location. The Host Monika was charming

Everything was great as the restaurant. Comfortable bedding. Classy Hotel

Exellent location beautiful Hotel

Exellent Boutique Hotel only 8 or 9 rooms. Large rooms, comfortable bedding. Ivana was very hospitable

Vis Island is a quaint fishing village. It has much History from WWII and after this war. Tito’s dictatorship built military facility. The position of Vis island was a strategic place for defense. Ammunition stored, partisans stayed. Now there are lots of vineyards and fishing. Great dinner restaurant Pojoda. With our guide visited Vis town, Vislander Winery in Milna was beautiful with Great Wines. Jastogera restaurant was fun Lobster/seafood place in Komiza another beautiful town in Vis Island. Here you have the Blue Caves. Weather was bad so could not go (April)…

Hvar was a full Great Day. Visited Stari Grad, Veliko Grablje, Jelsa, Picturesque scenery throughout the island. Went to a small winery & Olive oil for tasting great time. Grgo took us for lunch to a family restaurant in Svirces for “Peca” typical Croatian meal. Lavender fields though not in season yet. Lovely day in Hvar

Ivana is a great story teller. Go back in time during the era. Is knowledgeable & hospitable

Brac Hotel Osam was very elegant as is the town. Beautiful homes in the area. Visited Pucisca visited & learned about stone masonry. While there a stone roof was being repaired. Interesting never seen a stone roof…went to Vidora Gora (Very Windy) visibility was not good, but on a good day it must be breathtaking from up here to see Bol & Zlatni Rat Beach. The olive oil museum experience was fun! The lunch there was tasty.

I almost backed away from Korcula. The wind & rain was pretty bad. Many ferries cancelled. Nikola made some changes & we made it & so happy We did. It is a favorite… despite the rain & wind our Guide for the city, Lea, was fabulous. Spirited, energetic. History on the walled city. It was Easter weekend, so they had processions the city was alive. Good meal at Biancura restaurant

This particular tour was done by car. Too windy for a bicycle ride. It was a great day with our guide in Korcula. Went to a Honey Bee producer Liberan & tasting. Learned much of the Bee word and delicious Honey. Visited a small family vineyard. Tasovac Winery their white wine was wonderful. They had a red one that was very good as well. Nice lunch with the family. Drove through picturesque coastline & beaches. Great day in Korcula

The walking tour was informative. Ivan’s is an archeologist so was very knowledgeable & a great story teller of century’s back. Never thought so many people would be there in April, but it was Easter weekend. We went up on the Cable car great views had Lunch at Panorama Restaurant overlooking Dubrovnik. Fantastic day in Dubrovnik.

Ston was an experience. First walked around the walled in town. Saw what the Croatians call their “ Great Walk of Croatia” large fort like structure. Later was taken by boat, to a floating barge where they had the oysters & mussels strung from the barge into the sea. Had a Lunch there. Very unique experience. We also visited a very elegant winery Milo. Their red wine was delicious.,Beautiful Day

The cave complex is unbelievable. The preserved art and paintings take your breath away.

The family we visited so open and accommodating. They taught us to make roti and sambal. And taking all the modes of transportation made it an even better experience.

The experience at the 'Explore Negombo “Lellama” Fish Market' was actually really cool. I found that doing this activity combined with seeing the stilt fishermen made for an interesting experience.

The hike to Diyaluma Waterfall was absolutely amazing and a must-do. The scenery was breathtaking, and it was worth every moment spent getting there.

Not sure if it is worth the 2 hour drive from Tokyo since you may not be able to see the mountain due to cloud cover.

The guide was great, saw so much in one day.

Staff are excellent and hotel is close to everything in Venice

Very nice hotel in great location Staff are very pleasant and helpful Breakfast staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly

Our guide was excellent and very informative Showed us lots of fun places

Kasbah Tiziri, on the way from the Sahara to Marrakesh, was fantastic. The location and the view from the roof were amazing, and a lot of guests we met there had really positive things to say about it as well.

The Riad Nesma Suites & SPA in Marrakesh was incredibly centrally located, right on the alleyway into Jamaa El Fna, which was fantastic. Despite being in a bustling area, it was amazingly quiet, at least in our room. However, the space was a bit cramped; there was just enough room for the bed and our belongings.

The service was outstanding. The room I stayed in was exceptional. Loved the antique setting.

The location of hotel was great. Close to good restaurants and shopping. Easy access to and from the hotel.

It was a wonderful visit; the guide gave you a deep insight of the history of the place.

The trip going to Douro Valley was exciting even though it was a rainy day. The guide who was taking us to Duoro described and explained histories of different places you come accross before reaching the valley. Getting on the river boat was an exciting experience. However, I was hoping there will be a river boat guide to show and described the different areas you see as the boat cruise the river. The wine tastings were outstanding. I learned about different grapes and wine produce on the 2 diferent vineyards.

It was a good show. The singing and dancing were great. It would be good if there's a write up of what they were singing and dancing about. The food was good.

It was okay to listen to the singing. I would have appreciate it more if there was a information about what "Fado" is. I would give the audience an overview of whave being sung especially if you are visiting and perhaps in English. Also, if you are in a group the seating should have to been prearranged. I had to sit alone by myself away from the group.

An amazing and wonderful visit for both the Park Guell and La Sagrada Familia. Both places were picturesque and the histories told by the guide were very educational, exciting and memorable.

The museum was outstanding. Lots of information and very educational. It was a short visit and could have seen more artists. Lunch at Boitin was exceptional. The visit to this restaurant was something that you will remember. The history of the place was very educational. The guide was very knowledgable and the restaruant were very good and caring.

It was an exciting adventure riding on a Electric Tuk-Tuk. The guide showed the different places to see and describe the history that respresent those places. She's also very good and make you feel safe with the vehicle.

It was educational. You learned about the history of the different rooms, how it made and who inhabited it. The decor were exceptional.

This was a very good experience. The guide gave a good description of the area and the types of local food to enjoy. It was also very accomodating in what types of food each travelers, what they can eat.

Lots of places to see and shop.

These were an exciting and memorable visits. I have learned the different types of wines the vineyards grow and produce. You had a chance to get closer to the grape vines travelling in a 4wheel drive vehicle. The vineyards were picture perfect. The staff were very hospitable and gracious.

The market visit was very exciting. Shopping for your ingredients to cook was great. The chef gave you an insights of the history of the market. The chef was very "funny" and guided you an how to create a good tasting food. I left the class knowing I will be able somehow to replicate the recipes. Of course, I had to acquire the recipe book.

This is an experience should never be missed after all the activities from shopping, eating and sightseeing. This is a great way to end your memorable and exciting holiday.

Great location, superb ambience, fantastic breakfast!

The Hotel Palacio de Villapanés in Seville was good, but not great. The valet and general service were nice, though.

Shabby venue, performance was unexciting and did not feel authentic. No introduction or explanation of performance given..

Amazing experience with guide Danny! He was so well informed, witty and made the history very interesting.he kept the tour engaging from start to finish. He made La Sagrada Familia come alive. Highly recommend!,

Had a wonderful experience with our guide,Ferran. Had great insights and answered all our questions and kept tour engaging.

The Sunset Live Spanish Guitar & Sailing Experience in Barcelona was a great experience. The service was very friendly and caring, with blankets provided for comfort. While the food wasn't exceptional and could possibly be skipped, the overall experience was lovely and highly enjoyable.

The Day Trip to Montserrat was a wonderful excursion to a beautiful place. Montserrat itself is stunning and well worth a visit. I would highly recommend this destination to others.

The railway market was awesome! Our guide Ron, also timed the start of our day so that we could pick up the train and actually take it into the market. So we got to experience walking the market and taking the train through it. The floating market was ok, but after the first stall or two, it felt repetitive. It had a lot of good food options.

This was one of our favorite activities of the whole trip. We roamed the flower market with Chang and Leos in hand, trying things Ron (our guide) said he would seek out. He also took us China Town which was fun.

The place is located strategically. There's easy and safe transportation, and plenty of places to get food. The hotel itself was very comfortable and service was good. The food (breakfast) was pretty good.

The place is in a vary good area, you can see a lot of things to do around. There's easy and safe transportation. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The food (breakfast buffet) was extremely good.

Excellent experience. The fact that you get to enjoy so many things in one trip makes the journey pretty quick and easy. The markets were something that is a must see. The food.....the food is so so good.....

Great experience, got to see many sights and discover a lot of the culture

I would have given it 5 stars, but when we arrive the elevator was out of order and we had climb 5 flights (92 stairs) to get to our room the first night. The room was small, but that is unusual for the type of hotel.. Very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Great shower!!!!!!

Fabulous! very enlightening. Great tour guide.

Incredible experience in the jungle and a great value. The scenery around the hotel area is stunning, the pictures online do not do it justice. The bungalows are very comfortable. The only thing to note about the bungalows is that (at least in ours) the bathroom was not very separated from the rest of the structure so anytime someone wanted privacy to use the bathroom, everyone else had to go outside. But we made it work. The beds were comfortable and there is air conditioning and fans, so along with having the windows open at night we were very comfortable even though it was pretty hot. The food at the restaurant was delicious and the drinks were great, especially the mojitos. If you're a wine drinker, note that the availability was hit or miss - but Colombia is not really a wine drinking country, so better to have a beer or cocktail anyway! The staff were extremely nice and helpful, although not all of them spoke English.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel a lot. The location is great, right inside the walled city of the old section of Cartagena. The room was comfortable with good air conditioning. The only issue with the room was that the water in the shower never got hot, but a cool shower actually felt pretty good after a hot and sweaty day walking around outside. The breakfast buffet was very nice and there was also hot food made to order. The best part of the hotel was definitely the rooftop pool with a great view of the city, and the delicious cocktails we enjoyed up there. It was a great way to end the day and cool off before getting dressed for dinner. The staff at the hotel were all super nice and helped us with various requests including dinner reservations.

The visit to the market was very interesting and we loved our guides, including the chef. The food was absolutely delicious and it was fun to help prepare it. Our only complaint would be that the chef and her assistant did almost all the cooking and didn't explain to us what they were doing, so it wasn't really a "cooking class" as we did not learn how to prepare most of the food (with a couple of exceptions). That said, it was a fabulous private lunch so we couldn't complain! It was also a bit hot on the rooftop area where we were cooking/eating, so it might have been even a bit better if it were in an indoor location with air conditioning.

The women leading the workshop were wonderful and we had a great time making crafts. "Coconut workshop" is a bit of a misnomer as this is really a jewelry/accessories making workshop with polished colorful beads. You can't even tell they're made from coconuts. The finished products were all lovely and we can't wait to wear them. The setting of the workshop was also very nice, right on the beach with a cool ocean breeze.

Spectacular! The park was very crowded because we were there during Easter week (Semana Santa) but we made the bets of it and considered it part of the experience. Our guide helped us spot lots of birds, monkeys, and lizards.

We absolutely loved tubing on the Rio Don Diego all the way to the ocean. The indigenous ruins and museum before the tubing portion of the day were also interesting although it would have been even better if we had been able to spend a bit more time learning about the indigenous culture.

We enjoyed the tour of the coffee farm, it was interesting to see the traditional way of processing the beans. It would have been nice if we could have seen it in operation but we weren't there at the right time. It also would have been nice to see more of the area where the beans are grown, which was not part of the tour. Hiking to the waterfall where we were able to swim in the pool beneath it was very nice - our guide recommended that we go to Pozo Verde instead of the more popular one (Marinka) because of crowds, and that was a good idea. The lunch we had at La Casona with the hummingbirds was memorable. Overall we had a nice day, but the drive to Minca was quite long and it would have been nice to see more of the town/surrounding area to make the long drive more worth it.

It was very special to see the stilt villages and learn about the culture and history. We were invited into a resident's home for lunch, which was wonderful. They accommodated the vegetarians in our group. Our guide was very nice and also helped us identify the birds we saw on the way.

Our guide Roberto gave us a fantastic tour. Most of the time was spent at the fort because that was particularly interesting to us. Afterward, we walked back through the park with the sloths (!!) and through the old city back to our hotel. It was a very hot day and our daughter was tired, so Roberto very kindly adapted the tour to be a bit shorter. He made sure we had umbrellas to keep the sun off of us as well as cold water to cool down. It was a very good experience.

The mangroves were lovely and we saw a lot of birds. It was very special to help plant a baby mangrove in a reforestation area as well as to get a demonstration of the traditional fishing methods. The cold coconut water at the end was a bonus!

Our schedule changed and the drum workshop was not at sunset, so we can't comment on that aspect of it - but we had a great time watching the performances and learning the drum rhythms ourselves. We were given some very nice refreshments (appetizers and a mojito) as well.

Funky hotel in a great location. If you're sensitive to noise, it's not the best option as it's on a narrow street. The hotel itself has live music 5 PM to 12 AM Friday through Sunday and the bar across the street is blasting music seven days a week.

Lovely and unique hotel in the heart of old town.

Fun and yummy tour. Lots of food.

I'm glad we did the mythology focused tour because it made the whole experience more entertaining. Tour was a bit long though.

This was quite a charming experience. I don't think the tour description does it justice. We were able to visit different villages, see local life, eat some good food. We did not visit any museums.

The hotel was clean and perfectly located to restaurants and major sites. I was able to walk everywhere. The staff were friendly and helpful and I felt very safe there.
