Kimkim Trip Reviews

very good location, central and two streets up from the now-very-touristy-busy San Martin, it's quiet and it features a nice view over the port and the city (particularly from the top-floor bar). Staff always very helpful. Rooms comfortable, quite and clean.

Very good location, that allows to go pretty much everywhere within a short walk or short ride. Very nice rooms and certainly very nice staff, who's been always as helpful as kind.

Just enough outside El calafate to give character to the place, but still close enough to enjoy the walk to town. Simple rooms, but very clean and well kept.

Great location, nicely set in the local vegetation to give that sense of secluded place. Very nice rooms, and so the dining area, serving always good food (and a very nice cellar). Staff always very gentle and attentive.

thanks to Kim Kim the disruption caused by Aerolineas was mitigated... they helped with transportation and logistics.

Aerolineas changed the flights with some horrible ones. We managed to mitigate the trouble and Kim Kim provided us with very good logistic support to make it as smooth as possible.

we didn't noticed it was a 6h tour.. we went with Rumbo Sur. They are well organised and the tour is nice. Perhaps to long if you travel with kids.

Very nice tour. Lovely trekking for those who can and very nice old-train-ride through the park. Worthwhile.

all smooth, drop off and pick up very efficient and attentive.

very nice way to peek and get the sense of what was the life in these estancia. It is now very much of a touristic approach, very disciplined and "civilised", but particularly if you travel with kids and family, it's the best solution. And they are always very kind.

Smooth flight, El Calafate is now more of a touristic destination, but still preserved its character. The surrounding are very beautiful. Worthwhile visiting the ice museum.

a very nice, safe and easy way to see this beautiful giant from close. Recommended.

definitely worthwhile. Impressive to see what nature is still creating just off Buenos Aires and how people are settling in this area. fascinating.

as Aerolineas changed our flights, we did not go to Los Angelico's but to El Aljibe. As a group of 10 and with children, we could only go to a "more touristic" type of show, nevertheless it was very nice, very well organised, engaging and in a very nice location, where they served a nice dinner. So..approved! And again, arranged by Kim Kim at the very last minute for Christmas Eve. Impressive.

Such a beautiful city.. the tour was very well organised and kept into consideration the variety of people in our group. Very well paced and focussed on those unmissable places. We had a few extra requests (visit to one of the old train stations...) and the guide/driver always helped. great experience, very comfortable, very informative for kids and adults.

Areolineas did its best to disrupt our plans, but KimKim did its best to rearrange everything impressively well in a very short time (over Christmas Eve!!). So.. great job Kim Kim and great job Francesca!

both sides very impressive. Important to visit both and definitely worthwhile to go with the boat rides.

Both sides very impressive, definitely important to visit the Brazilian side to get the full sense of the place.

we landed in Buenos Aires and took off the same day to Puerto Iguazu. Everything very well organised, with the guide coming to the airport effectively just to receive us. He took our extra luggage to the hotel where we would have stayed on a few days. That helped a lot.

Very new so clean, miminalistic - very attentive staff who called cabs for us. Close to the water yet still close enough to the center with some nice restaurants and services (massages) on the street.

As with the other hotels, perfect for our need. Close to the center and bus station, very good restaurant inside is a big plus if you are exhausted, attentive staff. Small rooms but again, totally fine for our night and shower. Would recommend anytime.

We were all surprised - maybe our expectations were low? Efficient, well organized, great services considering it is in the middle of nowhere, literally. Very clean overall, fun atmosphere and comfortable beds + blanket/sleeping bag. Location can't be beaten given the hikes start right there - and the closeness to the visitor center for departure is a huge plus. Surprising food too - nothing shabby. Highly recommend!

Our favorite - mostly b/c of the minimalistic design, modern look and just general vibe - the roof top was amazing. Small rooms but who cares if you are there to sleep or rest on the bed.... highly recommend. Location perfect right around the corner from the square and restaurants/shops.

Simple, practical, great breakfast and really good location - one block away from the center - grocery store one block as well - nothing negative to point out - staff very friendly and accommodating (even late check out).

This is a lovely hotel located right on the beach. We stayed in a bungalow with a private pool and really enjoyed it. The staff were fantastic. I wish I could remember all of their names, but every person we encountered was helpful and kind, especially Natty at reception. The beach is beautiful! The hotel breakfast was fantastic and we also ate in the restaurant a few times, which was fine. There are other restaurants on the beach that are perhaps a bit more interesting. The smoothies at Lomlay next door were very good and the massage at Amma, also next door, was wonderful.

This is a magical place reached by boat where you can enjoy the natural beauty of the lake. Our room was very comfortable and we loved the gentle rocking motion of our floating bungalow. Our package included meals (we ate the Thai meals and they were delicious) and activities. Note that there is one main activity per day. We stayed two nights and one day, which was perfect. We chose not to do the caving excursion on the day we were there but went on the evening safari and early morning sightseeing tour. Other than that there are some activities at the resort or you can swim in the lake or pool, use the provided kayaks outside your room, or go paddle boarding. It was a very unique, tranquil, and relaxing experience.

This charming hotel is conveniently located near Wat Phra Singh. Our room was large and extremely comfortable, the breakfast was fantastic, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

This hotel is a former residence at the end of a side street off a main road. We were only in Bangkok for a short time but it seemed to be conveniently located. The hotel was charming and our room was comfortable, although a bit dark. The staff were very pleasant.

This trip is well organized but there is a lot of sitting around when you arrive that could perhaps be avoided. The Similan Islands are beautiful and the staff were wonderful but on the day we went the water was full of tiny jellyfish so snorkeling was very limited and in any case nothing special - very little variety in the marine life.

We loved touring the garden and then preparing a delicious meal with fresh ingredients! The whole experience was wonderful and very well organized.

All looks great on paper but the room layout is not great. Pro: spacious living space, well appointed kitchen, OK bathrooms Cons: lack of decent closet space in the rooms, very small rooms, lack of privacy for the primary room, balcony view by the building closer to the lake, location away from the city center. Upon arrival we asked to have a higher floor room as we were looking up on roofs rather than the lake. One similar room was available one floor up (better view but not perfect) subject to a supplement. We paid out of pocket for the supplement. Unfortunately they did not have a larger unit and thus our luggage had to be stored in the living space.

Great rooms with wonderful view over Mount Cook. It is however pretty much the only game in town. Makes food and beverage a bit pricier. Better book this one with breakfast included. Also, don't book the upgraded rooms, while these are nicer, the lack the balconies of the older wing.

Great new hotel with very helpful staf and top restaurant

Great city center, authentic hotel but with small rooms. Also ask for rooms with unobstructed view. Our window looked onto a wall. Great food in the restaurant

Nice rooms with great balconies overlooking the lake.

Well located hotel (or should a say motel) with excellent service. However we prefer smaller boutique hotels. Too many tour buses drop of their guests at this hotel. Also the pool facility is underwhelming.

Sleeping in the jungle is priceless! Everything from the food to the excursions were amazing. Highly recommended.

Although we thought it might not be for us, we sent two days in the Sahara in the Orient Desert camp, riding camels and drinking tea with the nomads living in the desert, and this turned out to be the part of the trip we have talked about the most since returning! Morocco - A beautiful country with friendly people

This is an amazing experience and I would come back again just to stay here for the experiences!

Incredible experience on this cruise! From the moment we boarded, we had Mr Vodka assigned to us as our server and assistant for the duration of the 2 nights. Vodka was kind and funny and ensured we were well taken care of! My husband got sick right before the cruise and had to miss out on some activities but Vodka was so kind as to check in on him and bring up a plate of refreshments for him when he missed lunch. The large jacuzzi was great and their cocktails were also incredible! The restaurant and food were all top notch and I cannot rave enough about the standard of service and the staff. The excursion to Cat Ba Island was also out of this world and a major highlight of the entire trip!

The hotel was gorgeous and it was immediately clear how committed they are to every detail! The embroidery theme was evident immediately with beautiful touches in the room and throughout the property. The room was large and comfortable and had a gorgeous view. It was also in a perfect location to walk to restaurants and lounges along the Main Street. We had the best massage of the entire trip at this hotel! They even accommodated a later time for our treatment because they were fully booked.

The hotel was in a really great location. Only a few minutes walk to the old quarter and a couple minutes away from train street. The location could not have been better. The only downside was the size of the room which was a little small compared to other hotels on the trip but I know that was because of the style of hotel and how narrow the buildings are in Hanoi. It would be quite difficult to open a medium or large sized suitcase in that room so we ensure we only used our small carry-ons for that part of the trip and it was fine. The staff were exceptional and very kind and accommodating.

The hotel is centrally located and is within walking distance to the old town and many other amazing restaurants. It’s also a very short 10 min drive away from An Bang beach! The rooms are large and very comfortable and clean. The staff were so accommodating and so incredibly helpful when the airline lost our luggage upon arrival in Vietnam. The front desk staff went out of their way to speak to the airline and airport to find out information for us. The breakfast buffet was really great each morning with different dishes to choose from daily and lots of fresh fruit!

A really fun way to end the cruise! Really enjoyed the boat tour through the cave and the views and company.

Such a wonderful excursion. Beautiful sights on the boat trip to Cat Ba and so much fun riding bikes in the island and exploring a bit of the national park. Kayaking was a massive highlight! It’s just so beautiful and peaceful!

Truly a first class experience from beginning to end. The service, food, quality of drinks were all top notch. The room was spacious and gorgeous, the balcony was great and the large bathtub with a large window to see the views was breathtaking. Nothing but praise, appreciation and accolades to the whole Erina cruises team.

The boat trip was really beautiful and a highlight of this trip. We really enjoyed trying mountain goat for lunch as well and the sightseeing of the temples and surrounding area.

This tour was really great. We visited temples and pagodas and Ho Chi Minh complex. Unfortunately some of the museums were closed that day because it was Monday but it did not take away from the tour. Our guide was quick to suggest different points of interest and we also stopped at a beautiful lacquer art factory where we bought incredibly beautiful art to bring back home that is very unique to Vietnam.

We really enjoyed walking around the old quarter and trying Banh Mi and Pho with our guide.

We really really enjoyed this experience! We had a very small group (4 people) which was great. Our guide, Autumn, was so passionate, funny and knowledgeable. Our walk through the Hoi A market was amazing and she did such a great job explaining everything about the ingredients and teaching us how they are used. The cooking class portion itself is more like many different demos than a full cooking class but it was still really enjoyable. We got to try so many different dishes and had a chance to taste everything. We were stuffed! Come hungry!

This tour was fantastic. We visited so many points of interest within the Hoi An old town and it was clear how passionate and knowledgeable our guide was! The food we tried was amazing as well! We got to try a lot of the Hoi An specialities like white rose dumplings, Cau Lao and Banh Mi. We were stuffed by the end of it. The only downside and something that I think could be done better is the stops at the tailor shop and silk factory. We were not interested in either and felt the sales tactics were a bit pushy by the staff at those locations. Perhaps the guide can ask the visitors before starting if they are interested in visiting those locations to get their feedback.

Way too much food! We could hardly eat it all. The market was interesting and colorful. I would love to have the variety of fruits and vegetables available here in the USA, Arequipa is a beautiful and vibrant town. I would have liked to have spent more time there.

Too much time riding in the van and looking for condors. I'm not that into nature. We finally did see some condors and got some great pictures. The Colca Lodge was very nice and relaxing. We loved the hot springs!

Very interesting drive to the canyon. Unfortunately, we had to make the return trip on the same route so it was so LONG and tiring.

It was okay. Loved the archeology sites but there wasn't that much to see in the town. The cathedral was interesting.

Our guide was kind and patient. We were a party of 6 seniors from age 70 to 82. She was very helpful with the steps, took her time, etc.

Great hotel! We skipped much of the farm tour but we did make it back to the hotel in time for lunch. What a fun experience. Loved every minute of it! The scenery on the train was fantastic! We loved every minute of this part of the trip.

Could have skipped the salt mines - not really mines and not at all interesting. The climb up and down the stairs was not worth it for what we saw. I hated this part of the tour and felt like we were just filling up time. We stopped for lunch in a very nice town (sorry, can't remember the name) and ate in an old colonial house. It was excellent. I also really enjoyed meeting the women at the textile place in Chinchero.

Joseph and his wife at Sarapampa Hacienda were so kind and informative. Oscar was a very interesting tour guide and we learned much about the Incas. Would have been nice to hear more about the previous cultures who inhabited the area before the Incas. One comment was that Oscar said the valley was named "The Sacred Valley" was named because hippies settled in the area in the 1960s. I beg to differ because everything I read said that the indigenous people thought it was sacred because of the water, climate and soil conditions.

This hotel was our favorite on the entire Ecuador trip. We had a suite and loved the space. The staff are amazing. It is located very near to ATMs and a supermarket. Plus many restaurants are very walkable. Lastly, the harbor where our excursions left from was a very short walk.

This was a great stopover hotel enroute to the Galapagos. The hotel is great and it is near many restaurants.

Cahkal Hotel was really an incredible hotel and I wish we had more time there. The staff were all so lovely and friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautiful as well with everything you need. The breakfast and dinner there was top notch- that Roast Reindeer was next level. We had an issue with a left behind Ski Jacket at Northern Lights Village the previous day and once I informed the receptionist, she called them straight away and arranged one of her drivers who was picking up clients that morning to bring to Kilpisjärvi, to collect the jacket. We were about to go on the 3 Borders Snowmobile Tour and it all worked perfectly. By the time we had got back from the tour and sat down for some soup, the jacket had arrived. I was super impressed with them!. Would not hesitate to recommend this Hotel to anyone. The views from the room and the restaurant were stunning as well. Love Love Love this hotel!!

This resort is hands down AMAZING!! The views looking out of the rooms were just breathtaking and to have your own kitchenette for preparing meals was very handy. There is even a sauna in the room! The breakfasts were also beautiful. I wish i had used the resort sauna with ice bath in the lake but we were usually so exhausted after a days actiivities. The staff here are also wonderful and friendly. Would definitely come back here again!

Good to see but was expecting to reflect the ancient times in its building and content

Unique experience

Good experience

Balloon is a must and adds to the experience. Valley of the kings was amazing

Great experience

Amazing seeing ancient artifacts and learning more about it

Great experience also little rushed, would have liked to spend more time there. Camal ride was fun.

This was rushed because we lost time trying to find out who our rep was when we landed. I don't think we had the full experience. Thought it might have been food tasting but was more of just 1 meal.
