Kimkim Trip Reviews

better than expected! but concierge floor had a dinner for a group, do we did not get to enjoy the concierge space,

Nice hotel with large rooms. pool is really pretty and dining room on top level was beautiful!!

Amazing and beautiful. Accommodations were terrific. Views were beyond beautiful with seals and sunsets!

Boutique and great location!

Good location, beautiful modern luxury hotel.

LOCATION! Historic hotel with incredible service. Truly a special place. There were so many perks to staying here, special snacks in room, free high tea daily, free henna tatoos, free yoga, traditional dance performance...

Convenient location -- next to entertainment and dining.

A beautiful hotel with amazing Taj Mahal views. Impeccable service, lovely decor.

Well maintained, good service, location was good and we enjoyed our breakfasts there very much. Our only regret was that we could not use the pool because the weather was too cold!

Great experience--walk in the old city, seeing Banaras University and enjoying the Republic Day celebrations. Sarnath was wonderful to see. We also enjoyed the Aarti on the Ganges.

Indigo is a great airline--good service.

We were able to see several temples and learned so much. Also, we were able to see the local markets and experience street food. These are activities made much richer when you have a local guide and driver.

Traveling with a guide and driver helps make sightseeing very efficient. This allows for seeing lots of sights (and there are many in Jaipur!) Also, the guide and driver know how to group activities so no time is wasted.

Great service by entertaining driver, Vijay Singh. The long drive was made enjoyable because he clearly loves his work and his country.

Hotel had a nice lobby area but rooms are old and mattress was sagging so uncomfortable. Close to airport for convenience. There are no food options around hotel other than it’s own restaurants.

Hotel is beautiful and on a perfect stretch of the sea

This is absolutely beautiful boat with an amazing staff. Choose this one. You won’t be disappointed.

Great hotel and great location. Other than hotel restaurants, there were not many other food options around but it is on the Nile with walking distance to museums so very centrally located.

Fantastic, clean and modern hotel right by trail to Petra. Amazing staff and great food.

Great accommodation in the dessert. Nice, clean with great food and great staff. Highly recommend

Luxor was amazing

Even though it was a long drive to get to it was one of the most amazing temples we saw. Definitely worth it

This was such a fun experience. We tried the most delicious street food and then ate a local restaurant. We even stopped for a cocktail. This was made truly excellent by our guide, Pich, who participated in eating with us. It was like having a friend show you around the food scene of Cambodia. SO FUN

Our guide Pich was so wonderful. Knowledgable, fun, and the absolute perfect pace for touring.

This is a must-do for travelers that like the outdoors and want an off the beaten path cambodian experience. Great bird watching, beautiful and clean river, very kind staff and guides, delicious food. The 'glamping' set-up was very modern and comfortable.

This is a wonderful program that is very experiential. You prepare and feed the elephants and learn about their personalities and have a chance to touch their trunks with careful instruction. Great guide, great lunch.

Wonderful way to see truly see local people and families and the crafts and foods they make for their income.

Our guide was extremely knowledgable about the history of the temples and made the experience comfortable with refillable water bottles and a kind remork driver. He also used a terrific book that showed visual illustrations of what the temples looked like historically as compared to today. We ended up purchasing several as gifts for friends and family.

This was the worst accommodation of the trip. Although the Riad is in the Medina it was run more as a communal with no locks on the outside of the bedroom doors and breakfast set up on a large table shared with other guests. Although we did not mind it is worth noting if you want time as a couple. The staff were not as attentive or accessible as in the other places we stayed. Considering everywhere else we stayed this was a dissapoitment for our last night.

Stunning Riad. The rooms are amazing. We were upgraded as they were quite. Best room of the trip. Incredibly nice staff and dinner/breakfast excellent.

Modern hotel in the city which was a welcome change. Lovely spacious room and wide breakfast selection.

Another fantastic location. Local staff which added to authenticity. Great views from our room which was on the 3rd floor terrace area.

Beautiful Riad in the Medina. Fantastic breakfast with homemade cardamon honey. Musk shower gel was amazing - we bought 2 bottles to take home. Breakfast was on the terrace so needed to wrap up as cold in Jan but in the summer would be amazing.

Wow. Incredible set up. Tents were warm and comfortable. Enjoyed the evening campfire Berber music and the starry night sky!

Fantastic place in the middle of nowhere! Had a superb evening meal here. Great staff.

Fantastic Riad. Loved the decor and the staff were all very attentive and helpful. Good quite location just next to the Medina.

Highlight of our trip.

Ate just about everything local. Our guide Said was incredible.

Super fun decor and very large bathroom with great shower. The breakfast in the morning was amazing and felt like a home cooked meal. Staff was friendly and knowledgable of the area.

Great continental breakfast. Rooms are small but have everything you need. Great views of the Eiffel Tower. It felt warm and hospitable and safe.

Our guide was super knowledgable about Marseille and gave us a real local experience. we were able to stop and look in shops as we desired. She gave great recommendations for other things to do as we toured the city. She had great historical information and we felt like we got a really comprehensive tour of Old Marseille

By far our most memorable excursion. There was a mixup with our skipper not being on time for the tour but they made up for it by adding on extra time at the end and overall didnt impact the experience. The skipper was funny and personable and knowledgable on the area. Gave great local tips on areas to eat and things to go back and see. There were soft drinks and non-alcoholic beverages aboard

I didnt realize that our tour only included the palace and not the grounds. The app that you use to walk through the palace felt incomplete unless you paid for it. It was still a great experience but wish the audioguide was more user friendly and that there was better clarity on what was included in the tour.

Really cool to listen to the guided tour and felt like we could take our time in the catacombs. Was a really awesome experience

We had a small tour group so it felt like we got all of the attention and the full experience. Great food and our tour guide was very knowledgable about the area.

In a great location. Staff was great. Created from old mansion with great character.

This is probably this nicest boutique we have stayed in. The setting was wonderful and it was only a short walk from the central plaza in Salento. The staff could not have been more pleasant.

Learned much about the history. Not to Be missed.

Loved watching the Colombians enjoy this beautiful place.

Very pleasant.

No history buff like me should miss visiting this town.

We saw the Grand Isla which was the real thing. Our guide knew so much about area

The home and farm were so real. Learned much about life in rural Colombia.

See movie Wild Colombia and then go this amazing area.

I think the most beautiful area we have seen anywhere.

Never realized how beautiful and interesting this city would be.

Learned much about history.

good place and great location. enjoy the historic building

basic service towels were worn out and had to keep asking for soap and towels. not modern, mold around the shower.

New hotel and great service

Great variety of delicious food around Puebla. Incredible tour of the market tasting everything as we walked. La Calle de Dulces was amazing and Maria provided the history of the area.

1st day of our tour we covered a lot . Interesting to experience the Barro Rojo and Textile family business. Mezcal place was not too interesting. It was just a lunch stop and the basic mezcal tasting.

Monte Alban a lot of walking and enjoy learning the history of the area. Great time painting our own Alebrije and lots of enjoyment to meet the family that owns the "taller" Lunch was basic and very local cuisine --- chapulines tacos (40 percent protein, 43 percent fat, and 13 percent dietary fiber)

did not stay. restaurant did not have a dining area appropriate to enjoy a meal. table was dirty, one chair for a party of two. area was facing the garbage cans. we were refused to be seated in a nicer, cleaner area. also did not cooperate in changing our dining scheduled for a later time when better and appropriate seating would be available. restaurant is not a conducive to enjoy and appreciate a good meal.

Guide is knowledgeable of the area. Enjoyable walking tour around the city, highlighted with history and local information.

A beautiful hotel with unique architecture and proximity to the Puerto Natales sea.We stayed here two separate times on our trip to Patagonia and liked it both times. One one of the days, our room hadn't been swept since there was still gravel and debris on the floor.

A beautiful hotel at the heart of the park. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was outstanding with so many choices. However, there are not many lunch/dinner options for vegetarians or vegans .

We loved this hotel with it's many amenities and high speed WiFi. It was close to the downtown are of El Calafate and within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. The massage on our last day was excellent!

A cozy hotel with charm and character at the foot of Mount Fitzroy! Our room had a wonderful view of the mountains. We enjoyed the outstanding and warm hospitality and the multi-course dinner on New Year's Eve.

This cute boutique hotel was located in a great neighborhood (Palermo). Our room was clean but on the smaller side with inadequate lighting. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the breakfast had something for everyone!

It was useful to get an overview of what to expect in the following days.

This was a great adventure and experience! Before getting on our horses, we were given a mini 'riding' lesson and safety tips. The ride to the falls was about 30 minutes through a very pretty forest. Once at the waterfall, we made a fire (from sticks and twigs we collected) and boiled water (from the waterfall) to make mate (an herbal drink). We also used the fire to toast bread that had been packed as part of the snacks). We feasted on mate and snacks before venturing to the waterfall where we 'played' for a while. We then returned to the Estancia after putting down the fire. All through both rides, we took sips from a bota containing white wine!

We were not sure what we were going to do at Estancia Mercedes other than horse back riding but this visit turned out to be one of the great experiences of our trip. The family were very hospitable and the meals were so delicious. It helped that, in addition to my daughter could speak some Spanish, there was a young couple who were staying there who spoke Spanish, This allowed us to have lively and informed conversations with the family!

Devi was an excellent guide. Our favorite parts of the tour were hikes to Lake Nodenskjol, Mirador Los Cuernos, sampling Calafate blueberries along the way, a visit to Lake Sarmiento, Lago Pehoe and Grey Lake.

This was a fantastic excursion from start to finish! We loved all parts of this adventure from the boat ride to the visit to the rain forests to Perito Moreno.

The guided hike to Laguna de los Tres and Mount Fitzroy was challenging but our guide Leo made it a great experience. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as the flora and fauna. The next day, our guided hike to Lago Viedma was an easier one. Leo was, once again, very knowledgeable and so much fun!

The tour allowed us to explore different neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly.

Very good service at Bidosa.

Excellent service and support from the front desk staff.

Fernando the tour guide made it most interesting. He showed us all the interesting features of Moon Valley, and he was very patient with us on the steep and rough trails.

Fernando is the best tour guide. He is amazing, funny, energetic, and most helpful

Excellent tour guide and driver.

It’s great that such a small hotel has six restaurants to choose from and all of them are good. We generally are not resort people, but this hotel was very nice and comfortable. The grocery store .4 miles away was a wonderful bonus because the wine at the hotel wasn’t that great and was very pricey. Staff are friendly and it was an easy walk to town. We are not resort people so we took day tours and enjoyed the birding and hiking. The water was cold as it was January so we did not do much swimming.

We love the location, though it was a bit of a walk to the central area. The staff were amazingly wonderful and friendly. The room was off the courtyard, but very dark. Also, we were below the kitchen, so the noise of furniture moving was very loud at night, but died down at around 10 o’clock. There were not many restaurants around except Le Bice Probre that served local cuisine but we walked to town a lot and found great restaurants. The pillows are way too big, so we use towels as our pillows. My only complaint besides the pillows was breakfast. It was delicious but service was supposed to begin at 7:30 yet that was merely a suggestion. We would get there at 7:30 but we couldn’t get coffee till 7:45 and therefore could not make a tour at 8 o’clock. Fortunately, we figured this out on day two and were able to pre-order our breakfast on a day. We had an 8 o’clock start. It does seem with such a beautiful, quaint hotel as this that they could have a coffee station or place you could get coffee prior to 7:30 do in the morning. Other than that we love this place.

This trip was our least favorite. For one thing it was moved from 9 o’clock to 10:30 AM and we had hope that meant we would shorten the trip instead of extend the evening. Our driver spoke no English even though we were promised one and the rest the group – five – also did not speak English so we were unable to learn anything about the environment or local culture. We stopped at an organic shop and that had an English-speaking Guide which was wonderful. When we got to the waterfalls we had no idea how much time we had before lunch so we rushed through twice and our guy did not tell us that lunch would not be served until 4:15 PM. We left around 5:30pm and didn’t get back to the city until 6:40pm which made us miss our dinner reservation. Overall, it was a waste of a vacation day, but the falls were pretty. We would’ve enjoyed the more and we known we were going to have two hours to see them. When I reached out to complain to the Tours operator that ours was supposed to be an English at first, he was rather brash. However, he has, since agreed to reimburse us for this tour, and that is only fair as we lost a day of vacation

Another fabulous day of walking, birding, and boating to see the bays of the area. The water is too cold for us to swim, which is unfortunate, because it was glass, calm and clear but the boating was still fantastic. Perfecto was a great guide along with the boat captain. We got to see whales and so much nature.

One of our favorite days because we were able to walk in the mountains that were so beautiful. We saw lots of birds and enjoyed the company of Margaux who is our guide. The lunch of trout was spectacular and the views and quiet of the area. We were just unexpected, but pleasantly surprised that this was such a fun day. The altitude did not seem to bother us as much as we thought it would so it was just a real treat.

Our guide was long on explanation, but short on facts, so it made the tour of Monte Alban de tedious. Also, there was intense sun, and most people did not bring enough water, so it was a little bit uncomfortable to stand for hours, rather than sit in the shade, while he gave explanations. The rest of the days tour was very disjointed because we didn’t know we were having lunch and we had eaten snacks. In the workshops felt more geared toward shopping rather than details on the method of the art. In hindsight, I would’ve skipped the second half and just gone to town to shop.

We’ve been to several cooking classes all around the world and this was so much fun. Dalia and her daughter Laura are excellent at explaining things despite a language barrier, and it was fun to go shopping before preparing the meal. We learned a lot and enjoyed the fruits of our labor. Most of all we enjoyed meeting Dalia and working with her.

It was a perfectly planned day, and very well orchestrated. Each of the stops was great timing and full of information. It was nice to get out of the city and see some of the surrounding areas.

It was a great tour, and we learned a lot about the city and the various landmarks. My only suggestion would be to reverse this tour to do it in the afternoon, so that we could’ve visited a museum. Unfortunately, the museums are only open until three and our tour schedule did not allow us to visit any of them.

A great way to start a trip and experience the different cuisines of the region. We were lucky the restaurant was not open the night we went, and we were the only guests because they treated us so well. It was nice to meet Chef and our server was excellent.

The sunsets from the roof top bar were exceptional!

The people, food and hotel was exceptional!!!

We purchased an 8hour full day tour from the hotel on top of the Poas Volcano Tour. Best tour of the entire trip and best guide/ driver also!!!!

We traded this experience to go snorkeling for the day. The snorkeling was ok. The guide and boat support team were exceptional!

Ok, no whales. It was an ok experience.

Very knowledgeable guide at the center. Learned a great deal!

I could not do this experience because I have an issue with heights. I thought I had noted this in advance but I assume I might not have. There were 8 bridges which I could not cross therefore I could not go.

We only visited the organic farm — none of the cultural experiences beyond the farm was omitted. The children are not in school in January so something should have been substituted.

We loved this place! really loved and took advantage of the jetted bath especially after long hikes. Bed/pillows were so comfy! Views of the mountains a plus. Staff friendly and helpful, when we ate at the restaurant they had told them it was our honeymoon and they sent us dessert, so thoughtful and sweet.

This place was such a gem! Beautiful setting, nice clean large rooms, lovely restaurant as well.

We always camp with our own gear but didn’t have a choice for our trip; was pleasantly surprised at the quality and cleanliness of the tent and sleeping bags. Cafe food was also really good!

We got a superior room and let me tell you, the view was incredible!! The bar and restaurant also had amazing views. Front desk was super helpful as well. Loved this hotel

Clean, front desk very helpful, nice views.

With our hiking abilities we really didn’t need a guide for this hike but the guide was super nice and helpful explaining the geography and pointing out animals etc, which was a really great addition to the hike.

Everything was clear! Felt very prepared with our trip outlined and all docs organized for us.

This was such an amazing hike. The hike offered nonstop views and thanks to our guide we stopped at all the best viewing spots along the way. The guide was also extremely prepared and knowledgeable about the geological history, wildlife floral/fauna. The guide was happy to capture all the moments for us on camera too! This is a long hike so be prepared.

Such a cool experience to be that close to a glacier and amongst the icebergs floating in the water. The crew was exceptional of providing all sorts of information. The hauling in of a iceberg to make cocktails with the ice was so neat!

This experience exceeded expectations. Our guide was so knowledgeable on the area and asked us for our inputs on things we wanted to see in order to tailor things. We saw tons of wild life, and breathtaking landscapes.

In general we felt overwhelmed by this experience. Between the amazing views, lunch on a glacier lake in the middle of a beautiful landscape and the excitement of river crossing on the horse we couldn’t have been more pleased with everything. The guide was exceptional and so knowledgeable of the area and rich history, not to mention a great cook!

Our favorite activity! The guides were awesome and it was just so cool, not every day you get to literally climb a glacier. One of the most awesome things we’ve done in our life!

A hostel for the Amazons quite comfortable and very centrally located

Just spent one night, quite comfortable and central

Puerto Nariño is a very beautiful town I was very impressed by its cleanliness. No cars nor motorbikes circulate, all on foot. It is colorful green and beautiful and residents are very friendly

Nice town, the gateway to the amazons, fascinating that you are at a spot where you can be in Brazil, Colombia and Peru.

We went on an enjoyable hike to the waterfalls and the cocoa experience was informative

Wonderful experience with Yubelis, my guide. We also had another local guide who explained to us about the Tairons tribes. We visited an indigenous tribe and learned a lot about them. I did not do the tubing part because I had a backache, instead we did the boat ride which was quite enjoyable

I was not familiar with Palenque before, I learned a lot from the local guide from the barrio

I loved Cartagena and Gestemani, both have wonderful vibes, artsy, musical and lively and enjoyed the food there as well

Wonderful foodie tour, I tried delicious street food

Very interesting experience, I learned a lot about coffee production. The owners of the plantation gave us a presentation and I had a handsome experience.

A most enjoyable tour, every location had its charm and beauty., really memorable. Juan a es an amazing guide and I learned a lot from him about the region.

Lovely visit, we did not walk but went by car, I was happy it was by car because I was tired and jet lagged, so the car was better. Beautiful village

Comfortable ride, unfortunately it was raining heavily in Raquira so we toured it in the car

Nataly was my guide, I enjoyed the visit tremendously. Christian, the driver, was also wonderful
