Kimkim Trip Reviews

Hot spring pool Great service at the main desk for every need Spread out without being too spread out Great happy hour Delicious dinners

Our guide His passion for protecting animals

Brand new Riad, very well located close to Dar El Bacha in the Medina of Marrakesh. The rooms were very beautifully decorated. Breakfast was good, and service was nice. Only negative is that the rooms are not insulated from the noise of other guests, so a baby in another room or a phone in the reception woke us up several times at night.

Wish we could have stayed longer here. We only planned for one night on our way back to Marrakesh from the desert, and when we got there we didn't want to leave. The rooms are beautiful, the restaurant was delicious and had very high quality service, and the facilities (spa, gardens, etc) deserved to be enjoyed. Hope to be able to go back.

This camp was nothing short of magical. There is something transformative about being in the middle of the desert, with the most beautiful sunrise and sunset, the night sky full of stars, and a beautiful camp managed by local people who can help you enjoy it. The accommodations were beautiful and super comfortable, while still respectful of the environment. The food was delicious and very authentic, prepared with local produce and spices. Our guide Youssef did an amazing job at helping us understand the lifestyle of the nomad families and how some have settled in the local village. We loved everything about our trip to Morocco but this place was probably our favorite.

Expensive and crowded.

The view from the newly refurbished interior rooms exquisite!

A lovely campus with a friendly, responsive staff. Individual units were spacious and well appointed, perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers.

Whilst it was lovely to be on the ocean, the snorkeling was very disappointing. Also, the restaurant visit added time to the trip that was unnecessary. We were the first to be picked up and the last to be dropped off. We would have preferred to return to our hotel and visited one of the many lovely restaurants near our hotel.

One of the highlights of the trip! Our guide, Jorge, was knowledgeable, energetic, and very proud of his work.

This is one of the most delightful hot springs I've visited around the world!

The guide was knowledgeable to seemed to really enjoy his work.

nice location in Westport with some fun music and drink at the Cobbler

Beautiful locale and again was so convenient for waling to great dining options

fantastic hospitality and perfect location- highly recommended-

Seeing the world's 2nd largest volcano was awesome. Would definitely do this.

This was probably the best day of our trip. Our guide Ximena drove us to Mindo and she was great in bringing us to these places. We did 6 or 7 activities all in one day and had a great time. This included zip lining, tubing, seeing hummingbirds and making chocolate from cacao.

We came to Hoi An during rainy season so unfortunately we didn’t get to experience some of the hotels amenities to their fullest. This hotel had several pools that would have been nice in the summer. Our honeymoon suite was beautiful ans had a private tub and sauna. It was nice, though the layout might seem a bit awkward to people used to staying in more traditional hotels. Our favorite part about this hotel was the spa. La Spa at the hotel gave us the best massages we’ve ever gotten. The entire experience was thoughtfully curated, and we would highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of whether or not you’re staying at the hotel.

We did the 2 night cruise with Hermes for our honeymoon and had a great experience. We stayed in the presidents suite and had a semi private balcony and jacuzzi. The room was beautiful and roomy as was the rest of the boat. Note that the jacuzzi though heated was too cold to get in during the winter. Also note that the wifi was extremely spotty. The guides and staff on the boat were very welcoming and entertaining. The food and cocktails were decent for a cruise. We particularly liked the departure brunch. We did hiking, swimming, and kayaking excursions across the 3 days. Since we had a full day on the second day, we were able to cruise out to a neighboring bay and do a beautiful kayaking trip where it was less crowded. I’d highly recommend this tour to experience Ha Long Bay!

We went on a jeep foodie tour with Jenny and had an awesome experience. Jenny curated several food stops for us, including seafood, local dishes, and desserts. We went to several districts during our couple hours on this tour. Jenny was really entertaining and energetic and planned very memorable stops. We had a lot of fun driving through the city in the open air. We were not bored because we went from restaurant to restaurant at a fast pace with our tiredly guide throughout. We would highly recommend this tour!

This tour felt a bit cookie cutter and we just went to sights that were on TripAdvisor’s top 10 list, which we felt like we could have done ourselves.

We loved this tour and Daniel was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about Hanoi and the village he was taking us to. With his knowledge, he crafted us a very intimate tour with the community. We biked to a food market, temple, and made bun cha at a villager’s house. He told us a really interesting backstory about the owner of the house we were at. We also visited a flower farm and a lady who makes tofu out of her house (so delicious!). We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi!

The ship was clean and the rooms were beautiful. The staff was amazing and I am so glad that my family and I were able to stay on this cruise. I highly recommend, 10/10!

The staff is so nice and accommodating! They go above and beyond!

Although this hotel isn’t new - everything worked and the rooms were clean and climate controlled. The location was perfect for us, the breakfast buffet was quite good ; and, most importantly, the staff were great sources of information for every question we presented - be it dining recommendations. Interesting sights to see, etc.

Get ringside seats! 100% worth it. Someone will come around to get your food and drink order if you’re interested. Our seats were within six feet of the ring. Eight different matches of different weight classes / skill levels. This is one of those events that is gladly do again on a subsequent trip. This sport is embedded in the Thai culture, and you really get drawn into it.

Comfortable room, great central location, nice bar, fantastic breakfast buffet. Very lively hotel!

Great character, comfortable room, centrally located, nice/helpful staff

Hotel was comfortable, clean, centrally located, nice breakfast buffet, good gym.

This tour on a sunny day would be amazing. We had a gray/cloud/rainy day so we had to be inside most of the time. Kenneth, the captain, was great. We got a real sense of his love of being on the water. The small group enabled us to get to know other people which was nice. Hot tub was definitely a highlight. Others jumped into the cold arctic water (we did not, but might have if the weather was nicer!)

Nothing to see in the dark. Food was unremarkable. People (travelers) were not particularly friendly or encouraged to mingle/get to know each other.

We had to go to an alternate location due to bad weather, but the guide was knowledgeable, friendly and put safety first always. It was a good activity to be outside and active.

Our guide John was very knowledgeable about the area and walked us everywhere in under 3 hours! Lots of hills! Great way to get oriented in the city.

Awesome tour and we even had good weather so we got to see the fjords!

Due to weather, we had to chase the lights rather than go to the outfitter's home base. Trina (our guide) was great - very enthusiastic and clearly has a lot of experience chasing the auroras. We had to drive to within 20 minutes of the Finland border, which meant a 2+ hour drive in each direction. We didn't get back to hotel until after 2 am, which was about an hour later than expected (and rough since we had an early morning flight to Bergen!)

Our guide Stig was amazing. He shared local and personal stories, history, insights. We toured on one of the coldest days in Oslo in 30 years. Stig brought hand and foot warmers for us and kept us moving so we could get warm!

We really enjoyed our time on the La Pandora Cruise. The staff was wonderful, and the boat was nice. I thought our rooms were comfortable and the bathroom was nice. There was an upper deck for happy hour at night and the dining room was nice. The food was just okay, but there was a lot of it! There were definitely much nicer boats around us, but I thought everything about this boat was good.

We only stayed at San Boutique for one night. We stayed at San Premium for the other two. Overall, the staff was wonderful, but the rooms were a bit shabby. The location of San Boutique was good as it is near the lake and walkable to most things.

We loved our time at Silkhotel. The staff was amazing, and the rooms were very nice. We even used the pool and the gym at the hotel. The breakfast buffet was huge and delicious. And, the location was ideal. Couldn't have been better!

Aluna Ben Thanh Hotel was good...not great...not bad. The location to everything in the city was great. The rooms were comfortable enough. The bathrooms were nice. Our only complaint was with the breakfast room, which is quite small and was usually full when we arrived. The food was okay.

We loved our time on the beach at Thanh Kieu Beach Resort. We were there for Christmas, and really appreciated the holiday spirit created by the staff. The bungalows were very clean and nice, the breakfast was our favourite, the large beach with chairs and the pool area were great, and all the staff was very friendly. We didn't love the town area that is walkable, but otherwise thought the location was good.

We woke up very early to get to the cave before all the other boats. In the description of this tour, it shows kayakers going into a cave. As it turns out, that cave has been closed for a number years. So, we just got onto a boat that someone rowed and went through a large tunnel to a type of inlet...then rowed back. It was maybe a one hour excursion and I didn't feel as though we were able to see much. We had a very rushed breakfast before heading out in the morning, so much suggestion is to save breakfast until after the tour.

We loved kayaking around the bay, and our highlight of our time in Ha Long Bay was swimming. It was beautiful and unique. I think we would have liked it more if there hadn't been 10 other boats doing the exact same thing, but such is the nature of the beast.

This tour included a tour of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum (although the actual Mausoleum was closed) and the Temple of Literature. Dicky, our tour guide, did a good job of relaying a lot of information about what we were seeing. It was nice to have a private tour.

We started the day at the market, which was fun to see. The basket boat was a total "only for tourists" type of activity, but our kids enjoyed it. "Fishing" was a bit of a stretch. They gave a little stick with a string to the kids to catch crabs. It definitely wasn't a bit part of the overall activity. The definite highlight was the cooking class, which was one of the best we have done in six months of travel. The kids really got to engage in making the food, and everything was delicious.

We had rain the whole time in Hoi An, but we still enjoyed our time there. John, our tour guide for this tour, was really wonderful. He was so optimistic and accommodating. We walked through old town, and even took a boat ride to release our wish boat. That was all fine, but our favorite part was the street food tour. We went to a few great places, one of which we went to the next night as well.

We actually asked to leave this tour early. We were excited for a lot of snorkeling, which is what was described. Instead, after being taken to the pearl factory for the first hour, we were taken to an island where we were told we could swim or have our pictures taken. We decided we would swim, but when we got to the island, the water in the bay was filled with trash. We spent an hour watching our guide take fabricated drone footage of people on the beach. Then we went snorkeling...for 20 minutes. They didn't have any equipment for kids, so my 7 year old, who was VERY excited to go snorkeling, had a leaky mask much of the time because it was too big. We then went to an island with about 60 other boats and hundreds of other tourists to have lunch and again get a fabricated drone video laying on a paddle board...but didn't actually get to do any paddle boarding. We decided the swimming at the beach of our resort was way better than anything we had experienced on the tour and asked to go back.

This tour wasn't great for our family. We have two kids, 7 & 11, and a 10 hour day was just not something they could do. We stayed for the first half of the tour in town, then the kids and I went back to the hotel while my husband went on the hours long drive to the Cu Chi tunnels. I should have separated the tour into two days to make it better for my children. The Ho Chi Minh tour was good for the adults, but didn't really capture the interest of my children. We were first taken to a post office and a church that was under construction. I'm not really sure what we were supposed to do there. Being with a group is always a little harder with children, and this was no exception.

My daughter and I loved this hotel *so much.* Our first stop in Portugal, we were immediately delighted to find that our suite was ready at 10 a.m. when we arrived from the airport. The suite had two full baths, an enormous walk-in closet, large and comfortable living room with plenty of seating, a bedroom, and a terrace with seating: we could hardly believe our eyes 😂😂 We had two small complaints about the room, which were the lights and the temperature controls, neither of which we could figure out--the lights in particular BAFFLED us, I'd turn them on in the living room and they'd go out on my daughter in the bedroom, or vice versa--but honestly, we could've called for help if we'd really wanted to lol. The room itself was quiet, super comfortable, full of the little touches that make or break a hotel room for me: great in-room coffee service, quality products in the bathroom, a throw blanket on the couch. The lights were confusing, but there were plenty of them, which I appreciate--so many hotel rooms are dark--and the showers were fantastic. When I blew a fuse trying to plug my heating pad into the bedside outlet, reception had someone up to our room in minutes so we didn't have to sit around in the dark 😂 My daughter and I also spent a fair amount of time in the hotel bar, where we had one great dinner and several excellent drinks (try the Portuguese gins!). Our bartender, Rodrigo, was super helpful and attentive; when he heard we were headed to Porto next, he made us a list of attractions, shops, and bars to visit--that's how we learned about the Royal Cocktail Club, a fun discovery! The PortoBay Liberdade is centrally located, within easy walking distance of many Lisbon sights and destinations, and our experience there was outstanding. Cannot wait to visit again.

Overall a nice tour. Very good highlights. The itinerary was great!

Good trip.

This was one of the best experience during the Greece trip. We had an amazing incredible time with the chef and his wife. Enjoyed the cooking class, dinner, and wine. We kept sharing this experience with our friends. Couldn’t be better.
