Kimkim Trip Reviews

The one good thing about the trip. Hotel was great.

Guide was good.

We liked our guide but so many problems! For example we booked Bath but Aleksandra said oh sorry it doesn’t make sense to go to Bath. She told us a week before we left. Because of timing, we couldn’t do Bath. This was soooooo frustrating. She messed up so many times.

If you're going to Nobres, this is a cool place mostly b/c of easy access to the Saloda River for snorkeling. Also near the lake where macaws go at sunset. Comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and delicious food, plus lots of animals, like burrowing owls, curaçao, and macaws on the grounds.

UeSo is a nice place to stay in the Pantanal w/ comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and delicious food, plus lots of animals, like macaws, capybara, and caiman, on the grounds. There's also a tower you can hike to to get a bird's eye view of the landscape. But be warned, it's quite far from Porto Jofre on a washboard road where you'll spend at least 1 night on a houseboat to see jaguars, otters, and other animals. The houseboat is also comfortable, though beds are small, and also delicious food. Just be prepared for the long journey there and back.

This is essentially a collection of guest rooms run by a woman named Sandra. It's a fairly convenient location near the town and also the scenic locations in the area. Breakfast is included and was well prepared. The rooms were fine for sleeping. The shower was adjacent to the toilet and required squeegeeing to push the water down the drain and away from the toilet. This place is about 1 km down a washboard road from the main highway so be prepared for a bumpy ride to and from

Chapada dos Guimarães is a small cute town w/ a covered main street w/ restaurants and boutique shops. Outside the town is a scenic plateau where people gather at sunset to gaze down at the valley. There are also trails that lead to waterfalls where you can swim. It's a good intro to this part of Mato Grosso. We enjoyed the variety. It was also our first opportunity for sucos and sorvete.

A long hike to a beautiful waterfall we could swim in. The plateau at sunset.

Snorkeling in a river is different and cool. The current just takes you along. The lake where people go to watch the sunset is really to see dozens of macaws gather

It's a bit of a drive from Nobres. We stopped at a pasteleria for lunch. which was good. One of the pastels had caiman, tastes a little like chicken. We arrived at UeSo right before dinner. Nour greeted us w/ Caipirinhas which is a good way to start the experience.

We left Ueso for what we thought was a full day excursion but would return that night. Surprise! We ended up spending the night on the houseboat in Porto Jofre. Seeing jaguars was amazing.

Yann led us on a tour around the lodge before we had to depart for the airport. He did say the hike was 2 km but at the halfway point didn't check in to see how we were doing. This would've been a point where those who were tired could turn back toward the lodge. Instead we kept going and it was too much for some. My partner and I went a bit further but ended up leaving the tour and heading back to the lodge on our own. The ride to the airport in Cuiaba was faster than I thought. Thought it would be 3 hrs, Pedro Paolo made it in 2.

This was the best day of the tour. More jaguars including one swimming. A family of giant river otters. A capybara w/ birds in its ears. We felt lucky that we got to see all these animals. Followed by a long drive back to Ueso but Nour did his best to make it go fast

I did a hike w/ Nour to the tower while my partner rode a horse. We saw a lot of caiman. In the afternoon we kayaked on the river.

We enjoyed the cultural experience but the location could have been better to our hotel.

Super cool experience. Our kids loved the kayak tour and seeing the caves.

Our guide was great. We appreciated his pride in his country and culture.

This was a great way to see and experience Porto, especially with active teens.

Great production.

This was our least liked experience as it was difficult to take in the sights. It may have been better if both seats faced forward. (we faced each other). Our guide, however, was easy to hear as he had a headset.

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Nuno!! As I mentioned before, Nuno was our favorite guide.

We had great tour of Seville. Our guide was very knowledgeable and clearly had a passion for history. There were a few discrepancies from the description in our itinerary and the actual tour which was fine but not sure if we actually covered all that was intended.

The tour was ok but not our favorite. I'm not sure I would call this a Wine and Gourmet experience. We had sangria but no wine. Actually, I think it was considered a Tapas tour.

We really enjoyed this excursion. Rachel, our guide was also very good and knowledgeable.

Lovely room and accommodations. Delicious food. Very hospital.

Quaint 60's vibe. Very good food at the restaurant.

Wow! Truly an experience in different way of life. Spectacular in all ways and authentic to its setting.

Very retro. rooms. Large and roomy. Wonderful restaurant at the hotel.

Truly luxurious accommodation. Did not serve an evening meal on a Sunday. Breakfast was great. Beautiful view right along the Thames. Many shops within walking distance.

Would have liked to see more estates. Did get to watch some rowing races

Only used it 2 times and would not work on day 7 at the Castle in Anglesey.

Very unique experience.

Amazing medieval town with all the walls enclosing the city and the castle.

Looks great, seems understaffed. Dusty, old, needs a deep cleaning, maybe replace some carpets. My sense was that they think they are better than they are, staff are pretentious. The menu is very different, only ate there once but wouldn’t recommend the dining room.

Staff excellent. Parking is a problem with construction and loss of land to an adjacent development.

One of the best hotels we have ever experienced.

Awkward location, no valet, nowhere to park.

Our guide was passionate, knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with.

This location is off the beaten path but an important part of our trip because of family connections. We were pleased to see a photo of our great grandfather in the wall of the cafe!

Very interesting.

We could have done this walkabout on our own.

Perfect for families

Great layout in family suite. The private in-suite onsen was fantastic for our small family!

I was blown away by my room close to the beach and well appointed

Great staff beautiful hotel

A hidden gem Set off the Main Street the hotel opened into a wonderland. Small hotel. Huge room with everything zi could ask for

The markets were a feature. My guide Leena made it even more special

Couldn’t ask for more. My guide made the experience more wonderful than the sites themselves. She made me feel special. The choice to travel either mass transit brought me close to the culture

My guide Lilly gave me a personalized tour of the city and temples and provided great insight into how to spend my free time. Adapted tour to meet my interests

More than I had hoped for. The facility guide was amazing I learned much about elephants and interacting with them. Beyond expectations

Multiple sights amazing fish and turtles a side trip up a mountain safe friendly wonderful

My guide Ben gave me a personalized tour of the city based on information she drew from me. Tiger Kingdom was perfect

The lead guy Bobbi made the amazing sights more remarkable. Always ready with a helpful funny answer.

Wonderful Riad. Well appointed rooms. Our three older kids stayed in one room and my husband and I stayed in another. Breakfast was amazing. The employees were very friendly and professional. The location was very well situated within the Medina.

Michelle runs an incredible Kasbah in the mountains. Rooms were very comfortable, the layout of the property was authentic and allowed for room enjoy the property from various perspectives. A wonderful place to go after a busy day touring. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Everything about this particular stay was so memorable from start to finish from the camel ride across the Sahara into the camp at sunset, to sand boarding down the dunes, followed by dinner and drumming.

We were very pleased with our stay here. It was a more western style hotel. Very nice pool and dining set up near the pool was also lovely. Staff were very professional and friendly.

We toured Atlas Studios, and our local guide there, Mohammed, made a couple of movie trailers starring our family! We had such a blast there. We could appreciate many of the sets from gladiator one at gladiator two at this studio. I got to be Cleopatra in a movie trailer.

Return trip to Marrakesh via Atlas mountains. New landscape to enjoy.

Spectacular landscape. Riding the camels at sunset into the luxury stars camp, and the entire stay at the camp was the highlight of the trip if there had to be one highlight. This is a do not miss experience.

Unique environment and you will recognize it from the movie, Gladiator. Our driver/guide, Omar, brought us to meet an elderly lady who lives in the settlement. She gave us a tour of her home, complete with courtyard full of goats and sheep. It gave us a glimpse into the life of a local woman who makes this famous old city her home.

This hotel is wonderful. We were able to stay in the 3 bedroom plus the upstairs room and we absolutely loved this as we had room to spread out. There is a washer/dryer in this room as well which was so convenient.

We are a family of five who stayed here the beginning of June, 2025. It was absolutely wonderful. The e-bikes were a great addition as well and were free of charge! You will not be disappointed in your stay here.

This hotel is right in the middle of old town. It was charming and very easy to get around in. We loved this place.

This hotel was beautiful. The pools were amazing and the workout room was great. The breakfast was also amazing.

We had two rooms here and it was great. The rooms were very large and welcoming. The restaurant was a great addition to, as well as the workout room and pool. We would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved the charm of this hotel. We had connecting rooms so that was definitely an added bonus. The restaurant and breakfast were lovely. We will definitely stay here again.

This place was GORGEOUS. Stephani was absolutely amazing and made sure were were well taken care of. Our room was amazing and we will definitely seek this hotel out again because Hvar was one of our favorite places.

The hotel is a great stop. Hotel was well kept and the restaurant was great.

Beautiful hotel in the middle of Zagreb.

10/10 recommend! These guides were professional and I felt extremely safe with them. They are calming and reassuring and fun too! Overall, if you want to paraglide, pick this company!

This was a fun trip through Dubrovnik! The guide was able to tell us a lot about her home town.

This was so much fun. Wish we had more time here to see the whole presentation! Definitely felt the guide was knowledgeable and loved this tradition.

Loved this activity. Our guide was nothing short of professional and he was so easy to talk with. We had an excellent time on this trip!

This was a great trip. We had a lovely time in Mostar. Blagaj was extremely busy.

This was hands down one of our favorite rafting trips we have done. Guides were super fun and knowledgeable.

Our guide was so knowledgeable about Split. She definitely made the tour great! We learned so much about the history of Split. It was also fun seeing some of the movie sets from game of thrones show.

We loved this tour. Our guide was amazing. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Once in a lifetime! Guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about piloting. The views were amazing and breathtaking.

Make this a part of every itinerary! This family was amazing and we felt so comfortable and at home here. The pottery class was so much fun and the meal that was prepared was the best meal we had all trip!

We had a great time on this bike tour. It was calming and beautiful and our guide was so knowledgeable about the park.

Our guide was amazing and professional. He was very knowledgeable about the national park and the animals/plants too.

We had a great time on this trip. It was a lot of stops to see and time to swim. We also ate at a great restaurant too.

The views at this hotel were absolutely breathtaking! The staff was so warm and hospitable! They went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience. The lobby, rooms and breakfast were all wonderful and we hope to visit again if we are ever in Sorrento in the future!

A great countryside bed and breakfast outside of Caen for our stay in Normandy. The owners were quite friendly and delightful. The residence was built in the 16th century and was bombed on D-day, which made it that much more special to us.

Right in the heart of Paris! What more could you want!

Relaxing evening on the Thames with great food and sights from the river.

Great place to start your stay by getting your bearings and layout of the city.

One of my favorite tours as a World War II buff. Plenty of history and gives you and understanding what went on in the bunkers!

The location of the hotel was great -- close to tube stations and great restaurants. Our room was large; however, the bathroom was small. My biggest complaints resolved around service. Our room safe wasn't working when we arrived. I reported it multiple times and was assured that maintenance would look at it. Even though we were there four nights, it was never fixed. I requested extra blankets twice -- they never arrived. I also requested a room that didn't face the street and was assured the room didn't. However, when we checked in, it did.

The Grand was amazing. The hotel itself is beautiful. The location was fantastic - close to the train station but also close to local attractions. Our room was extremely large and well appointed. The bathroom was amazing. And the food was great. We ate in the bar as well as having afternoon tea in the restaurant. Both were delicious. And the afternoon tea was everything a proper English tea should be.

The location of the hotel was fantastic. Close to the train station while also being close to the local attractions. It's a renovated prison which gave it an interesting character. My biggest complaints were that the rooms were very small, only one elevator worked, and the restaurant was overpriced.

Our black cab tour was awesome. Our driver was so friendly and knowledgeable. Despite having a grumpy teenage girl with us, he was excellent at making her laugh and enjoy the experience. We really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot!

The Tower of London was pretty much everything I expected. It was an enjoyable experience and full of history.

The Thames Cruise with Dinner was really enjoyable. The food exceeded my expectations, which were initially low due to it being a cruise. My only subtle complaint, unrelated to the tour itself, is that it was summer, so it didn't get dark until towards the end of the cruise, but the skyline was gorgeous once it did.

Our driver, Eddie, suggested a substitute tour for the planned Stonehenge & Jurassic Coast tour due to weather, and it ended up being awesome! We visited a couple of castles, Canterbury Cathedral, the White Cliffs of Dover, and an old pub from 1610. It was a day full of surprises and great experiences.

The Changing of the Guard tour was fun, although our tour guide wasn't as engaging with kids compared to others we had on the trip. She mostly talked to me and my husband, which was fine, but it could have been better tailored for my daughter.

The British Museum was good and offered a large collection of exhibits. We enjoyed our self-guided tour there.

The London Secret Food Tour with Tom was so much fun! He engaged with different couples throughout the evening, making it personal and enjoyable for everyone. We had a great time tasting various foods in a small group setting.

Westminster Abbey was wonderful, although I preferred York Minster as it was so much less crowded. Regardless, the history and architecture were stunning.

The Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio tour was fantastic, definitely a highlight of the trip for my daughter. Our driver was flexible and even got us there early, allowing extra time to enjoy all the magical details.

The Iconic Oxford Private Walking Tour was a great experience, led by a charming Oxford student. Unfortunately, it did fall during their school finals though so we weren't able to view all of the rooms of the Bodleian Library which I had been looking forward to.

The Cotswolds Tour from Oxford to Bath was a wonderful experience, greatly enhanced by Christopher, our driver who engaged well with my daughter.

great location history and a very accommodating and friendly staff

great location - great views and super fun to be in this cave hotel

Guides were great - bikes were great- super fun day!

this restaurant had a great view and the staff was super friendly but the food didn't feel super authentic and was a bit fussy. that said, the plates, bowls and the serve ware was very artsy and amazing!

Fantastic location in the historic center and near the park overlooking the bay, kind and helpful staff. Room was a bit cramped/lacking privacy with 2 kids. Great spot to explore and get lost in the streets - and the room was quiet in spite of the action outside.

Clean, spacious, unique. Wonderful views from the terrace--also a delicious restaurant!

Peaceful and intimate boutique. Great for lounging by the pool. Great location from which to explore the Itria valley and visit the beach.

Great ride for a family - smooth roads, easy pace, with multiple stops to learn about the history and olive groves we rode through.

Come hungry! Our guide was charming, fun to speak with and learn from. So happy we booked this around dinner - a beautiful time to explore the city and seaside restaurants on an otherwise hot day. Very accommodating for our crew's mixed dietary needs (allergies, some vegetarian).

Really lovely clean hotel, with friendly staff and well appointed rooms, great Japanese breakfasts. Felt a little businessy and corporate, so perhaps not the ideal holiday vibe and the desk staff level of English was competent rather than fluent - but million times better than my rudimentary Japanese!

Beautiful secluded setting.

Beautiful beach location

Awesome adventure!

Highlight of our trip!

Great day on the water. Plenty of time on the boat and in the water. The staff was attentive and the food was great!

Rooms are much smaller than pictured.

Once you enter the gates to the hotel property, it is an amazing experience. The property was beautiful and the service was beyond our expectations!
