Kimkim Trip Reviews

Great location, nice beach & pool

Nice comfortable hotel with wonderful onsite restaurants. Convenient for trips. Little pricey but comfy.

Very moderate hotel. Rooms were small and noisy due to train tracks.

Wonderful location and friendly staff. Beautiful character considering it was the old treasury building.

Centrally located in Darling Harbor. Friendly staff and good restaurant option though there is plenty to eat in the near by places.

Definitely a not to miss experience. It’s surreal to see the penguins and the seals.

Fantastic guide and awesome way to see Koalas, Kangaroos in their natural habitats! Lunch spread was awesome! Wish they had given time for dinner before the cruise back to Adelaide

Fantastic way to see the beauty during sunrise, wapau hike was great, breakfast was quite good too! Best way to see Kata Tjuṯa

It was a good tour but it was hard to understand the guide and felt like lot of waiting to see few places. Sunset location was not that spectacular.

The visit to Calmsley farms was fantastic. My kid loved feeding the kangaroos and seeing them up close. Lunch was very delicious and kept us nourished for the hike. Not spectacular as Grand Canyon and definitely not a must do. Guide was really friendly and knowledgeable

Nice cruise around the harbor. Enjoyed going under the harbor bridge the most.

Very informative and timely tour! Got to see the opera house and even hear some artists prepping for their show.

We were in town for a day of sightseeing, we had a driver who dropped us off and picked us up. The hotel was clean, the room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The restaurant that we used had a great range of great tasting foods available.

Green, spacious, clean, open, fresh, a little oasis in the hustle and bustle of Indian life. Location; Out of town so quiet but it meant that if you wanted to visit the village you had to book a ride or take a long walk. Authenticity & Character; This is a resort 'authenticity' is not relevant. And nor really is 'character'. Aamaghati Wildlife Resort is a resort and compares above western resorts that I have stayed at. The presence of local musicians to welcome guests and provide background to High Tea added character to the experience. Staff; There were sufficient staff that assistance was always available if required. The staff were, almost, overly keen to be of help, all those we encountered were respectful, well mannered and well presented, all spoke good english. Cleanliness and Comfort; The grounds were spotless, the public areas were spotless, the rooms were spotless. The room we had (T4) was huge and well laid out.

We were lucky, two trips into the park - morning and afternoon, two tiger sightings. If we hadn't seen a tiger the rating would be a bit less but still up there. There were other things to see and the park itself was scenic.

It's a long drive, the break at Fatehpur Sikri made it a little more bearable. The break at the level crossing did not - we had a twenty minute delay getting out of Agra while we waited for a train. Fatehpur Sikri is an interesting site and well worth the detour if you are in the area. The architecture is typical and impressive, the story behind is interesting and to link the structure to the story is great. A drive is a drive is a drive, there were sufficient interesting sights along the way to keep the mind from boredom.

Agra Fort was an impressive structure and, courtesy of our guide, had an interesting, colourful and rich history. The size and scope of the buildings was hard for our 20th century minds to fully grasp. Taj Mahal. What can you say, even in the fog the building had a presence that you could literally feel. The detail work of the decorations, the design of the structure rivals any christian structure I have seen. Mughal Heritage Walk was probably a bit too much for our western sensibilities, it was certainly a bit of an eye opener to us to see village life up that close and personal. To be honest, we were a bit uncomfortable - rich westerners walking around a place where there was not that wealth.

Ive never stayed anywhere nicer! Everything was perfect, food was delicious, staff were so sweet and helpful. Such a luxury beautiful spot!!

This was a really fun day! So much that we did, went on the boat, got to see where the fishermen lived and what they did. The only thing was the snorkeling was not as exciting as we thought it would be. We only saw a few fish in a tiny spot off the boat. We think the snorkeling could have been a bit more, maybe a bigger area to swim with more fish!

Located behind the historic Sara Braun mansion, next to the Plaza de Armas, the location is unbeatable. The suites are large and quite comfortable, clean and well maintained. Food & drink at the bar are quite good. Service is on par with the area of the country, on the unhurried/leisurely side. Not a place to go if you’re in a rush.

Fantastic service, comfortable rooms, unbeatable access to the park and a terrific team of guides & drivers. Will definitely book again for a longer stay.

This should not be a 14hr excursion. King Penguin Park is quite small and takes less than 1 hr even with a large group of people. We burned no less than 4 hrs in extended cafe visits/breaks, stops without much to see and a general lack of clarity of the duration of each stop so we could manage our time ourselves. In retrospect, I would have rather spend an additional day in Torres del Paine than doing this activity.

Great location, lovely staff, awesome room with some expectations. Laundry service option was great!

Gorgeous, modern, comfortable bed.

Great staff, beautiful hotel with a lot of potential, but it needs some repair and updates. Needs screens on the windows given no need to open windows at night.

Great experience. We would liked this to be more difficult but we enjoyed it overall.

This was fun and relaxing- we took a chair lift ride to see the beautiful views of the lake area. We went to Patagonia brewery, where we enjoyed drinks and lunch. We dipped our toes in cold glacier lake water. We had a private driver.

We loved our guide Ricky. We enjoyed the dozing bike ride while seeing the city. We had mate in the park and so the Recoleta cemetery. We had an excellent lunch with traditional cuisine- stews and empanada.

A ride to Villa Angostura- a smaller town north of San Carlos. This was one or favorite experiences with Facundo and Nico. We mountain biked with Facundo in the Arrayanes Forest- a forest of sacred trees native to the region. We also took a boat ride on the lake Nuahel Huapi. This was physically challenging at the beginning and we finished a relaxing sail I the afternoon with a home cooked meal prepared Nico.

The rooms were great. The checking in and out process was very smooth. The meals were very good with couple of options and variety. The staff was helpful and responsive.

Good overview of the old town and culture.

Clean and nice beach

Location is great, hotel is basic

You cannot see the volcano

Very nice hotel and rooms, friendly family staff, very good food! The place is a bit out of town but we enjoyed this aspect of the hotel, we felt nicely immerse in nature.

We had 5 savoury dish and 2 desserts - everything was tasty! Our favority was the dry pho and the coconut ice cream with fresh fruits.

Location was a ways out of the town core. Very windy so not easy to walk into town. Rooms not in the main building were good for people able to bring in good to cook but a bit dated. Bed was in the loft upstairs. TV did not work. Breakfast staff was friendly. Food basic. For dinner, space is limited. Nice view from the deck. Most places provide box breakfasts for free if you leave before breakfast but this place charges. They also charge for box lunches which is fine but the price seems high though I don’t know what is provided.

Great ambience and staff. Wilson was fabulous. All staff were friendly. “This is your home” mantra allows you to have wine and beer and yogurt , juice, fruit and filtered water all day long.

Good location. Helpful reception staff. Allowed early partial breakfast or boxed breakfast if leaving early. Floors of the room were dirty. Both times we were there, slippers and dressing gowns were provided. Toilet paper was not filled after the first night both times we were there. You have to put the sign out to make up room or your room won’t be attended to. Can only use YouTube to get old English news.

Good location and friendly reception and breakfast staff, Wish they had a safe in the room. Also they don’t make up rooms until after the third night. They charge to change towels. Before that.

Great location. Excellent staff at reception, especially Jose and Adrian. Breakfast staff were wonderful. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent. Comfortable room.

Unique location and ambience. With it being a ways from the town, there was no opportunity to exchange money or eat elsewhere unless you hired a taxi, Wish the breakfasts were available a half hour earlier as pickups for excursions made it very rushed.

I would have preferred to have breakfast at the hotel and start the tour later (others felt the same way). Because all the tours started so early, we missed having breakfast at the hotel though it was included. Felt the breakfast on the tour was a time filler and a lot of time standing around while the breakfast was being set up. Enjoyed the things we saw on this tour. Guide was good.

Good guide. Lagunas were beautiful. If you were short on time in San Pedro de Atacama, this would be the tour to skip.

Outstanding guide. Interesting tour. Good to swim in the lagoon. Nice cocktails and appetizers at the end. Glad this tour was our first one in the area. Nice set up for the rest of our time in the area.

Guide was okay (he had a cold so was sniffing and runny nose most of the time so we were trying not to catch it from him). Santiago was not our favourite city but we saw the major things.

We enjoyed walking around and going up San Cristobal Hill both via funicular and sky ride (teleferico). Tried to walk down but couldn't find the path despite locals trying to help. Unfortunately security staff could not help and had blocked off a pathway.

Instructions were not clear to others on timing and how to get to the boat as the driver did not speak English. Luckily, we knew where to go as we had been down to the beach on the previous day tour. Plus I had read it was a 40 minute walk. Unfortunately two of the people on the bus were slow and the boat was held up 15 minutes until they got to the boat. Glad the boat waited for them but they should have been advised of the time frame to get to the boat and proper instructions. Good experience to see the glacier. Not a wow but okay trip. Walking back we offered to help the slow people. It was very windy and difficult to walk back from the boat along the beach even if in good shape. Too bad the boat didn't have options to get people to and from the boat if they needed assistance or perhaps it was the fault of the instructions in not explaining the physical condition people needed to be in though I expect these two people figured they didn't need it. He was always late getting on the bus and not respectful of others time in a number of circumstances of the day.

We just wondered around the hotel area as we had no plans after arriving later in the afternoon. Didn't feel comfortable with walking at night too much as didn't have a feel for the area. Driver from the airport got lost so took extra time to get to the hotel.

Gabriel’s dinner was a highlight of our trip. Unique experience. Fabulous food and drink. The soup and lamb dishes were so tasty. Great conversation with the others there.

Enjoyed the tour. Interesting to see the geysers. Guide was good. Food was good.

Great city snd enjoyed the colourful streets. But not impressed with the guide. Tour started at 9:39 and ended at 3:45 with about an hour and a half lunch spot. Tour guide , Filipe, had his lunch and a couple of glasses of wine on us. Not impressed that he didn’t offer to pay for his own. We gave a smaller tip to him but still felt we needed to give hime something. Not a lot more of added info compared to most tours. We could have walked around exploring on our own. The driver both ways was outstanding. He was the best driver of the whole trip. He made an effort to give us info often using the translation app. And he gave us little Chilean flags as a memento of our trip to Chile.

Unfortunately the weather was raining for the whole day but we could see how spectacular it would be to see it on a better day. Luckly, I was able to get pictures from someone I met when we did the Grey's Glacier day as she was doing this tour the day after that. But highly recommend this tour. Guide and driver were good. The driver was an amazing photographer so great to see his pictures of the area.

Did not find the Estancia visit worthwhile but the visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier was good. The small boat ride out to the glacier seemed like a time filler by going a long about way plus it was not great as the water was very rough. The description we had did not advise we would be in a very small boat that bounced along the waves and had water flowing in. Luckily there was four us plus our guide and the two people handling the boat. It could have handled two more people but that would not have been great. Once we got to the glacier it was okay. Good to take photos from the small boat there. I would have found it more enjoyable just driving to the glacier with a stop where we saw other boats going to the glacier and going to the glacier by boat there (we just landed there). It would have been smoother and shorter so not wasting time. The actual visit to the Perito Mereno Glacier walkways was excellent.

Excellent guide who provided good info and history of the area. Loved seeing the Grand Splendid Bookstore. We walked back to the hotel after being dropped off there.

Recoleta is a must see. Enjoyed walking the streets getting to Recoleta. Plus had some bonus visit to a museum that the guide was surprised that we lucked out when we were there and initiated conversation with the curator who opened it up for us. We walked the area back to the hotel so went through the rose gardens and parks on our own which was interesting.

The Brazil side was far more spectacular than the Argentina side of the falls. Excellent guide and experience. The trip was well organized and accommodated people doing the helicopter ride. We were going to the airport after the tour so the tour company juggled all the various itineraries of the travellers and managed the border crossings well too.

The Falls were excellent to see and walk the walkways. Highly recommend the tour. The guide not great. Wish more information was provided and there was a lot of wasted time that could have been utilized elsewhere. Perhaps some of this time was due to Devils Throat not being accessible. Plus juggling the group when some did the boat ride and others didn't - rather than wasting time eating and waiting around, we could have just gone back to the hotel.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. Graciela and Pierre gave us an interesting tour of Boeda with a stop for drinks at a characteristic bar. Then hosted us at their home and showed us how to make empanadas and we had a fabulous dinner and great conversation. Plus they gave us gifts to take home.

The location of the hotel is amazing but it really needs renewal and more friendly staff at the frontdesk.

Carmen(?) the manager or receptionist ( don’t remember exactly her role) was exceptional.
