Kimkim Trip Reviews

Incredivle location, view and service. The breakfasts were amazing and plentiful as well.

Incredible. The Roman and religious history and the spread of the empire was not at all k own to me. The tour guide showed us all the nooks and crannies in the many archeological sites during the tour. Highly advised to go 1-1 with a private tour.

Our Tour Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She also got us around easily the large crowds that unfortunately can slow one down or make one uncomfortable.

Very informative and knowledgeable guide. Especially around the city center and the earthquake issues during covid and the main church reconstruction. There were some amazing events that day around farmers markets and football too.

Good location but hotel old and little cramped

Very spacious and beautiful hotel, our room was cold and we were told there was no heat in the hotel at that time

Interesting building

Great location

Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly but 5 hour tour with no stops for bathroom or food until we requested the bathroom. We spent far too long at the outdoor museum and not enough time in the old town. Not great use of time always.

We arrived back two hours later than originally planned, the time at certain places was too long and too short at others. The guide was knowledgeable and interesting but again the management of the day was not great.

Guide did a good job with the market and the tour - knowledgeable.

Good driver, stopped when we wanted to

Beautiful part of the country - guide was a little dull and hard to hear in back of van and also did not give us enough instructions about where to meet when he sent us off on our own. Lunch was not organized before hand and so we had to sit outside in the rain (sort of under umbrella) as the other place was full that he wanted to go to.

Guide was good but a little rushed and we would have liked to spend different times at certain things. Needs to explain where we are going better

Good guide - very knowledgeable and stopped for WC and drinks at appropriate time

This is an odd collection of buildings scattered about. We had to change from the first room because it was so small and it didn't even have a door on the bathroom. The manager was kind enough to put us in a larger room with a bathroom that had a door and it was at a pool which was nice BUT the view was of an dilapidated building and there was a lot of construction at the road. Not relaxing nor beautiful....

Lovely view room

We left this hotel ....the room was like a youth hostel ...very small and cramped. Front desk staff was pleasant and apologized they didn't have a better room for us. My husband is very tall and he couldn't even fit in the shower.

Front desk staff helpful, breakfast good, room quiet and clean

Boat ride was fun ....getting to the dock was a bit tricky because Google map link sent us to a different vendor. We missed our timed slot because the bridge opening wouldn't allow us to pass, but the vendor that was coordinated for us was very accommodating and took us a long with one other couple out 20 minutes later.

This was a nice walk along the coast with some highlights described.

Vasco was a charming young man with a huge passion for wine and his home countryside of D'ouro Valley.

Guise Alex was not only well informed about the craft of making port wine he was thoroughly entertaining. He was very invested in making sure everyone had a good time and had a chance to mingle.

The visit to the market was interesting but a bit rushed, but there was time to go back later. The class was a bit disjointed. She had every body doing different tasks which was fine but the equipment was poor and not serviceable for skinning and deboning fish. The instructor offered no assistance. The ultimate meal was fine but I only was able to pay attention to the fish which took the longest and then we were not given the recipes for the dishes. Also our names were not on the reservation so there was confusion as to if we were going to be part of the class.

Rodrigo was a very well informed guide. He made sure we were comfortable and gave us a lot of interesting conversation. We had lunch at a great restaurant and overall enjoyed our time with Rodrigo.

Beautiful sunset cruise....staff was very hospitable.

The private tour of the Monestary was very good ..The tower was a waste of time since it's covered in scaffolding.

Guide Luis was excellent and very informative. Grateful he had access to private path in because the lines were very long. I wish we had more than a half day because with the crowds there was no time to see the town other than a 10 minute peak.

The best hotel in the trip!! Amazing

Todo bien, buena ubicación y buena atención.

Nice hotel. Close to Lake Zurich and we loved walking there.

Excellent breakfast! Fabulous view from the balcony!!

Excellent restaurant! Wish we could have used the balcony, but there was too much cigarette smoke-

What a great way to end our trip to Switzerland! City tour was very interesting, Lindt factory was totally incredible, and a quaint fondue dinner at Felsenegg with great views and fun servers was nice.

Beautiful Lake, amazing scenery! And we even got to swim in the water. Very glad the staff had us wear wet suits.

Loved the forest feel and walking around Hotel Geissbach. Trummelbach Falls was magnificent! Our guide, Richard, recommended a lovely restaurant in Lauterbrunnen, and also helped us find a church we had been looking for there.

We hiked to the 360 degree view after getting to the top. Amazing!!

It snowed in early September while we were at the top - Cool!! Enjoyed the majesty of the mountain!

This was a beautiful relaxing place to stay. Friendly and helpful staff with yummy food and nice hot springs. You can walk around the property and see beautiful colored plants and critters running around. I will definitely be back.

Was fun different to do a night tour! There were lots frogs and other things out and about!! I think this is a must for everyone to do. The food that was made at family home was incredible. I loved the farm to table Experience

Lovely room with an expresso machine. Very clean facility, near beach. Helpful staff.

Fun location, nice breakfast and nice room. Pleasant and helpful staff.

So convenient to Krka. A good hotel all around.

We loved staying at Zrinka house. The room was great and the staff was outstanding.

Nice hotel, pleasant staff and a good breakfast buffet.

Mirta was very friendly, polite and knowledgeable.

Nice scenic drive and we enjoyed our wine-tasting. Ston is a quaint historic village we enjoyed walking around

This was fine but it's the one thing if we returned we wouldn't do again. Nothing wrong happened, it just wasn't our thing.

We had a lot of fun going to the marketing and making a great meal. Staff was great.

If you like waterfalls, you'll like Krka. Beautiful sites.

Beautiful setting

We stayed in one of the cottages three nights. The cottage was very comfortable. Being two individuals who appreciate country settings, enjoyed seeing horses and sheep from our window. On our way to breakfast, found two sheep on the lawn peacefully munching on greens. Bonus was seeing a border collie on the lawn playing with a soccer ball. Made us think lovingly of our own dog at home. Would definitely stay here again.

Got to see several humpback whales which was way cool

This was a very awesome experience! The guides did a great job instructing everyone in safety. It was pretty cool to kayak amongst numerous icebergs/chunks of ice of various sizes. Heartily recommend.

This was our favorite experience of our 14-day Iceland trip. Our guide "Magnificent" (Magnus?) was pretty awesome. The experience itself of walking up a glacier and into the cave was an experience we had never had before. Would strongly recommend for all. The one suggestion I have, being 5'2" and in my 60s, please provide a stool for stepping up in the tour vehicle.

Loved this location. It was a great hotel for a big city. All the.amenities. Every detail was considered, including.the young men managing the doors were above and beyond in their friendliness and helpfulness.

The drone and light show was very entertaining and educational and was high-quality

I really liked the small group size and the short hike through the gorge was incredible The sunset breakfast was one of the best meals we had on the tours

The drive around the rock and the opportunities for several short walks was just a perfect fit

I didn’t realize how well prepared and user friendly this day would be. You needed no experience and even those with some physical limitations could easily participate

Everyone participating in the tour was friendly and made it an enjoyable day despite the weather which obviously nobody can control

We also went to the butterfly museum before getting on the sky rail. The scenery was incredible on the sky rail and well worth making this stop.

The blue Mountains are beautiful and we were able to have several stop.s to do different activities. I would’ve liked more self guided time to explore on our own when walking in the rainforest

That building is amazing and the tour guide was knowledgeable and clearly enthusiastic about the subject matter

The reception desk was hard to find. The vibe was for a much younger crowd than us. We had room 16. The lampshade was broken. The lights weren't dimmable so they flickered. One of the chairs had a broken bottom. The mini-bar was ridiculous. And worst of all, we were charged double for our stay. This was the only hotel I wouldn't stay at again. The high points were the breakfast staff, housekeeping, and the bartender.

This one was my favorite. We had a suite and our windows in the sitting room looked out on High Street while the windows in the bedroom looked on the castle and the old church. Lots of stairs, be warned. 100% worth every bit of it. We were here for 4 days; I wanted to move in permanently.

We had one night here. I would've liked more. It's directly in the city center, right off the river. You can walk to lots of things and the train is an easy walk.

Parking was incredibly difficult but worth it. They did an amazing job with the remodel. Again, you're going to have stairs and there's no getting around that. The food was fantastic, so make reservations for dinner ahead of time.

We had only 1 night here. I wish we'd had more. We had room 3, on the corner with the most amazing view. Do check out Highland Pottery just up the hill.

I felt like I was staying with friends. The Hawthornes are incredibly kind and welcoming people. Please do ask to meet the canine family members. They're lovely.

It's a great old house with a wing where you can get a ground floor room-- no stairs! The real jewel here is the staff. They are warm, lovely people who make you feel very welcome.

There will be stairs. You can't get around them but they're worth it for the excellent service and great food. The location is directly across the street from the steam engine trip and within walking distance of everything.

We had fun on this one. Our tour guide, Veni, was great. After 2.5 weeks of tromping up and down castle stairs and hills and so forth, I was able to keep up. I'm definitely in better shape now than I was before this trip.

This was not exactly what I thought. I thought we'd be going to the top of yr Wyddfa, but this was a van ride around the area, hitting 4 castles along the way. By this time, I was pretty much castled out, having realized that unless you were into castle design, one castle was pretty much the same as another. However, this one had a Welsh designed castle which was very different and the guide was very nice.

Scotland is just a ridiculously beautiful country. Point your camera anywhere and you'll get a beautiful photo. Loch Lomond was no exception. We went to the church yard to see the Viking burial. That was very cool.

I like whiskey so I truly enjoyed this. My husband is more a rum drinker. Our tour guide was great, I loved the look behind the scenes, and the whiskey was good.

We missed the Summer Islands. A road closure/construction in Castletown made us look for an alternate route. The GPS, bless it, sent us down a two-way one lane road for 80mi. One we realized we weren't going to make it, we called and canceled (no refund) and relaxed and took our time. We ended up at Dunrobin castle in Goldspie. Sometimes going off script is better. Once you get to Ullapool, check out Highland Pottery.

See the Welcome to Orkney review.

Christina: Kieran was an amazingly knowledgeable and personable guide. I can't recommend him enough. There was so much here! Skara Brea was closed for high winds so we went to Gurness instead and I'm glad for it. We saw the Italian cathedral which showed the incredible talent of the Italian prisoners of war, and this is where I saw the Highland cows in person. We went to St Magnus Cathedral and it's as fine as any other I've seen anywhere.

We got there late for our original boat ride so the folks there worked out something better. We did the cruise and then got tickets for the castle at our own pace. It took of all of the pressure to do the castle within the time allotted.

It's a necessary trip. Consider it a a pilgrimage, even if it is sad. It's a beautiful field watered with a lot of blood over a family feud between cousins.

Lots of narrow spiral stairs. Beautiful view of Stirling Castle and the river.

This was a great way to start our trip.

A very nice hotel located just outside the town of Tavira. They have a shuttle to town but if you have a car it is a 5 minute drive. Rooms and breakfast were excellent.

Our room was spectacular and service is excellent. Only downside is the breakfast at the hotel is not that good.

Great location, small room, and we LOVED the breakfast.

Beautiful old world charm hotel! Room was amazing and I felt like I stepped back in time but with all the modern comforts.

Hotel was nice. Lobby was comfortable and breakfast was plentiful. The room, however, while very comfortable and well appointed was very tight and there was no room to open large suitcases. Also lacking was USB ports and bedside outlets.

The experience as a whole was incredibly enjoyable and unique. The singing and instruments where amazing. Two minor comments: Food was served cold and due to not understanding Portuguese we had no idea what the songs were about. A small description would have been appreciated.

The cruise was on a sailboat and the trip was smooth and informative. Beautiful views of Lisbon. The description from Kimkim stated snacks included and there were none. Also, when we returned to dock the office was closed and it was very difficult to find a cab back to hotel.

Tour got off to bumpy start because there was a marathon our guide was unaware of that had closed many streets. A lot of time wasted working around closed roads. Guide was helpful in getting us up to castle via lifts instead of walking.

What a delight! Our room had a full kitchen including a washer/dryer! Rooms were huge too. Sort of on the edge of all the action of Edinburgh but kind of nice to be on the quieter side but still be able to walk to a lot of stores and eateries. The Royal Mile was maybe a 20-25 minute walk. No food served by establishment but you do get 10% off the integrated cafe in the lobby. Staff was friendly and helpful too.

Massive rooms though maybe a little dated (some might call it 'character'). Centrally located and just a few minutes walk to where the attractions are. There's a nice workout room, but be aware the pool is no longer there. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Everything awesome. Clean, spiffy modern, and centrally located in Soho; walking distance to countless stores, eateries and metro stops. Friendly staff. Our room had a kitchenette complete with sink, dishes and a microwave. Just be aware there is no food served on-premise (not even breakfast).
