Kimkim Trip Reviews

Our guide was fantastic (Ontavia I believe) who knew so much of the city. Personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. We learned so much about Venice along with the private walk that made it comfortable. Then the gondola ride was one of the best things we ever did while she dropped us off. Highly recommend.

Fantastic!! Michaela took us to get the best, fresh food from the market. Outgoing, fun, and friendly telling us every step and asking every detail of what we like, what to try, etc. This felt like one of the most local experiences we ever had with a lot of fun. We learned to cook pasta with her, my wife and I while enjoying the best appetizers and meal. This was so personal, unique, and local that you can't miss out. Plus prosecco, wine, and a fantastic air conditioned apartment with a rustic feel that you can't replicate!

Nightmare-- the room smelled strongly of cat urine or mold. The hotel said they were unable to move us due to being sold out; in addition, our room opened onto the car park where a car show was going on, meaning that we couldn't open the window to air out the room. I did write to the hotel when we got home and they said they would refund us, but haven't seen it yet.

Comfortable room that looked out toward the harbor. Restaurants in town book up very quickly so we ate at the hotel one night and it was delicious. Much better than expected, especially for a hotel restaurant. There's a parking lot but you have to find out the details from the front desk; it's not obvious at all when you arrive. Excellent full breakfast included too.

Lovely room that looked up at Ben Vrackie. Very clean and comfortable and friendly owners. Loved the location; we could walk to dinner on the main street but not noisy at all.

Beautiful spacious room and great location in New Town. Easy to walk to Old Town. The included breakfast at the restaurant across the street was fantastic- best of the trip. Very accommodating staff who helped us send our laundry out.

We were in London during a heatwave and we knew there would not be air conditioning. The staff kindly provided us with a second fan, which was much appreciated. The room was quite small but we knew to expect that in such an expensive city. Very clean room and tasty breakfast pastries.

Wonderful tour with Safari Steve. He drove us in a very comfortable Land Rover to several habitats within the park. At each one, we saw birds and other animals that we never would have spotted on our own. Even though we are not "birders," it was delightful for all of us (including 2 teenage boys). One of our most enjoyable days.

An unexpected highlight! Beautiful and relatively uncrowded castle on the edge of the ocean. Well worth the drive.

Fascinating walking tour. I didn't catch the guide's name but she was great. Very knowledgable and informative with just the right level of history and other facts.

Even though we had timed tickets for 10 am, we still had to wait about 30 minutes in line to enter. The line looked like it was getting even longer behind us so I would recommend tickets as early in the day as possible--very glad that Stephen got us morning tickets.

Great hike back into the Hidden Valley. The hike in was a bit of a steep scramble in parts (more than I expected) but the route back was less difficult. Lots of beautiful scenery along the way.

We thought that this would be a good way to get an overview of London but our bus was stuck in traffic more than it was able to take us from site to site. Would skip it next time.

Eamon met us at baggage claim without any problem and gave us a great introduction to London. It was delightful to ride with him.

We actually had a private boat tour with Theodoro. He was wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide around the coast. He was so knowledgeable. This was one of our favorite days of our vacation.

Claudia was a wonderful driver for our day. We did not have a wine tour scheduled while we were in Tuscany, Claudia called immediately and got us scheduled for lunch and wine tasting. It was a fantastic day!

This is something that we felt we needed to do in Venice. While it was nice, it felt like a Disney ride—they take you through a preset course with all the gondolas in a row. If you want to take a gondola ride, make sure to schedule in advance. The line to buy tickets was really long.

Vierri was amazing! He made this more than a class—it was an experience. He is so knowledgeable and a wonderful teacher. I can’t say enough about this evening. This was one of our favorite events of the trip.. Our pizza and gelato was surprisingly fantastic considering our skill level.

Hip, chic and accommodating. Excellent location, cool bar and good restaurant. Service was impeccable.

Three different restaurants in the hotel to choose from. Great Breakfast buffet!

FANTASTIC breakfast buffet. Reasonably priced dinners. HUGE pool. Didn’t go in myself, but loved to see the families enjoying it.

In room laundry and kitchen. Close to ocean. Amazing.

We loved staying at this hotel. 1. Perfect location near transportation, grocery, bottle shop. 2. Ability to fix our own meals. 3. Essential; washer and dryer in room. 4. Courteous knowledgeable staff that really worked hard to help.

The camel ride was a unique and enjoyable experience. We rode atop the camel for an hour, with frequent pauses. The ride included some food and drinks, which was nice.

The Daintree day tour was fascinating. We got to see crocodiles during a pontoon boat ride on the Daintree River. The tour was way more extensive than just the boat ride.

The Down Under Cruise was a good experience. My wife enjoyed snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, but I got seasick. However, I still got to see the reef, which was cool!

The dinner cruise was ok. The view from inside was not particularly good and most of the staff seemed disinterested. However, the food was good.

The food and wine tour was pleasant. It was mostly about wine tasting, with some food involved. I enjoyed this tour.

A nice introduction to Sydney Harbor. Shark Island was on the list of stops , but the ship never stopped there. The ferry service would have suited us equally, as it turned out

This was a bit different as it was a shared kitchen and living space which was a new experience.

It was a satisfactory stay. The hotel staff was accommodating and the check-in process was seamless. The hotel met my expectations for a one-night stay.

It was a decent place for me to sleep and eat. The staff was helpful and the check-in process was smooth. The breakfasts were enjoyable and the location was convenient. Overall, it was comfortable and met our needs.

This was an amazing experience. The tour was well-organized.

It was a relaxing activity right after a long flight. I had a good time and slept well after.

The nature baths were calming and enjoyable. The weather was good which made the experience even more enjoyable

This was a highlight of the trip. The hike was arranged well and we started at the time it was scheduled. The guides were friendly and answered all our questions.

Great location for exploring Sydney. Helpful staff. Comfy, spacious suites and amazing breakfast.

This was so much fun - definitely a highlight of our trip! The staff is so helpful and they make the ride so enjoyable.

We actually did the Wintjiri Wiru gourmet dinner and light show instead of this. Vickie found out about this experience kind of late in our planning, and suggested that we substitute it for the Sounds of Silence - and it was PHENOMENAL!

This is a LONG day, but interesting to see a bit more of the Outback. We took a helicopter tour over the canyon, which was really good.

We toured the Opera House - definitely worth doing. We did the Hop On-Hop Off Big Bus tour, which is informative and interesting - more so than the Hop On Hop Off Ferry. There's narration with the bus - not so for the ferry. And ferry rides are cheap and available individually.

Our guide actually lives in the area that we toured, so she had lots of inside information and good stories.

Beautiful scenery and good information about the First Nations people.

Very interesting historical area of Sydney. Lots of good stories.

Enjoyed not only the wines, but the countryside as we travelled to the wineries. Driver/Guide provided lots of information about the area.

Unfortunately, my husband got seasick, but I had a great time and am proud to say I snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef.

The vintage train ride is amazing. The train itself is fun and the scenery is spectacular.

Worst accommodations on our trip. Restaurant was overwhelmed and food poor. No shower in room, tub only. Made us remove our shoes at the door. Staff was over whelmed and confused.

A bit tired and in need of update

Terrific experience!! Great staff and guide, very conscientious. A real highlight of our trip.

One of the trip highlights! Very well organized with excellent staff and a super guide.

Very enjoyable and organized.

Very informative and an excellent guide.

Too crowded and a bit tired.

Casa Don Diego was small, private, and gave us the authentic experience we were looking for. We loved how it was tucked away in Tulum and offered a quiet and unassuming atmosphere. The staff was really nice and made us feel like family. We even had the chance to see their beehives and learn about a specific type of bee that doesn't sting, but produces fantastic honey. The hotel has around six rooms and an outdoor kitchen for families to use which added to the home-like feel. It was a wonderful place to stay and we really missed it when we moved to a larger resort later in our trip.

This was a luxurious hotel with beautiful pools and good restaurants. It was a nice place to relax and pamper ourselves after more adventurous days. However, it felt more commercial compared to the more authentic experiences we had during our trip.

The tours of the ruins, including Coba and the sacred Mayan roads, were stunning. All of our guides were well informed and we learned a lot about the culture and history. It was wonderful to meet the people and know that the money from our tours was going directly into the local community. It was fantastic to see the ruins and spend time with Mayan families.

This was a commercial but fun experience. We went into the caves with a guide and a group, which felt a bit rushed and less personal than our other adventures. Still, it was beautiful and interesting.

This was one of the most special days of our trip. We got to spend time with a Mayan community and learn about their traditional ways of life. Our children even made tortillas by hand with Maya women — an unforgettable experience. We also visited a hidden cenote, which was an adventurous and stunning experience.

This was an absolute highlight of our trip! We got there early, before the crowds and it was just our family and our guide. We floated down the river, surrounded by stunning nature, in crystal clear water. Our guide taught us about the jungle and let us enjoy some quiet moments just floating. We didn't do any snorkeling, but it was still an amazing experience.

Friendly, easy, and good location. Giving it four stars due to a bathroom water leak. The host promptly assisted us.

The length of the experience is closer to 7.5 hours from pick up to drop off.

This is one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. The attention to detail, the ambiance, and the staff were all incredible. It was also very quiet, and a great place to relax after a busy day

This was a very special tour, and I’m glad I got to meet hero rats. Would recommend everyone to check this out

Great kitchen/hang out area. The rooms were much better than camping. Kids loved the trail to the waterfall.

The room was great and loved the recreation room for the kids. The breakfast was very yummy and staff was super friendly. I took one star away because the gym had several pieces of equipment that were broken and need to be repaired.

Resort pools were great and staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great hotel and staff!

Stops at waterfalls were great guides take great care of you. This was our favorite excursion.

Monkeys sloths, and beaches what is not to love

Zip lines are high and fast, staff is friendly. The hike and bridges was ok but would not do again.

Was a blast and my first time zip lining into a pool of water. Highly recommend this excursion.

Great family trip guides were excellent

Friendly, knowledgeable guides (Truls <follow him on IG @trulsoutdoors> and Sunny) and a group of fun-loving hikers made this an amazing experience. The hike is specially timed so that you are at Trolltunga when the crowd is thin (less queuing for your photo op!). The overnight stay at the heated domes added a special touch. I appreciated the quiet moments in the early morning when I could be alone with nature.

Very spacious apartment with the most amazing view of the waterfalls. Interior design was simple but place felt homely.

There are 2 wings to the hotel. We were assigned a room in what appeared to be an older wing. The suite we were assigned to had no air-conditioning and the windows in the bedroom could not be opened. It was very stuffy despite a small fan that was provided. This was contributed by the unusually hot weather we experienced during our time there. The staff were kind enough to relocate us to another room with much better ventilation. The overall standard did pale in comparison to other Scandic hotels we had been to.

The room was a bit small and interior design was simpler. But the views were exceptional. Have to drive about 5 min to the nearest shops/supermarkets. Located close to an amazing waterfall (by driving).

Great location. Helpful front desk staff. Clean and nicely decorated interiors. Excellent breakfast.

We didn't have much time to enjoy this and weather was also not the best.

The most memorable highlight of my trip. Definitely recommended.

Excellent guide who doubled up as photographer. He ensured we had great photos at the main highlight.

No view of beach but the garden were beautiful and wonderful- many wildlife visits every day. Pool was very clean and enjoyable. Options for breakfast was good, the service was great but it was slow.

The staff is very welcoming and helpful. The hot spring is very unique to this hotel.

This lodge is located close to center of town yet set back and quit place. The facility is very clean, functional and cute. The staff is friendly. The breakfast has nice selection of tasty buffets.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. All the facilities were kept clean and garden were beautiful. You have a chance to see many wildlife on the property. Meals were very tasty and has good options.

It was nice to learn and see the mangroves.

It’s a small national park yet has so much to offer to see. The guide was knowledgeable and searched for many creatures that we wished for encountering.

It was extremely fun and adventurous being in a cloud and zipping through the above the canopy.

The night walk was fun and it was really amazing that the guide keep spotting so many creatures.

Guide was fun to talk to and knowledgeable of the nature and plants. We saw many animals and plants. The drinks and snack were provided after the walk and at the farm, which was nice surprise.

It was amazing. It is a once in a lifetime experience.

We enjoyed the visits, the guid provided good information but went off bit too long for kids. Afterwards, shopping at the Villegas and walk back to hotel was great.
