Kimkim Trip Reviews

Very accommodating staff from the time we arrived until check out. Breakfast was wonderful on the patio and rooms were outstanding.

This was the best hotel we stayed at. Incredible view and impressive service.

Perfect stay for an early departure.

This hotel worked great for us and our short stay but didn't compare to the other hotel stays. It was a bit of a Bahamian vibe.

Unfortunately I was sea sick most of the time. Regardless, this excursion was one for the books. The captain took good care of me and the kids and I had a blast.

Very cool vibe, nice touches, like hot water bottles in our bed, hot tea in the evenings , etc. Nice breakfast. Central location. Excellent staff.

Our guide, Freddy, was the best!

The riad is in a great location, close to the main road so you don't have to haul your luggage toooo far, but within the medina and nice a quiet. It was easy to get around to shops, restaurants, etc. Beautiful space, our room was comfortable and o good bathroom. My mom and I were sharing and i think they took a double and split it, so the individual beds were very very narrow. But other than that, it was great (so if you're sharing a bed, should be excellent!)

It's a typical Riad off of a bit of a windy alley, but easy to find with local landmarks and centrally located. Their breakfast was HUGE and while we didn't eat dinner there, it looked like to others eating had quite a spread. The two men working there were happy to help with anything we needed and took great care of us! The decoration of the rooms and the interior in general were amazing!

The room was great, food was excellent. It's a complicated maze to get in and out, but once you get that down, you can't beat the location!! Would definitely recommend it! And I loved Chefchaouen!!

we were the only people out of 14 tents available--which seems like it should be nice, but was a little lonely. The tent was nice, it did have aircon. if you've been on a safari in Kenya/Tanzania, it's not quite that roomy a setup, but the bed was comfortable, staff were nice, bathroom was great. No issues and would recommend. BUT, I would ask your company to make sure there will be others there--and if not maybe look at other tent options (e.g. the non-luxury group next door--same company--had about 30 tents and at least half were full that night. would have been better (and louder) atmosphere).

If you're going to the desert, this is a nice place to pass some time. There's a nice pool, a good courtyard with both sunny and shady spots, a room off of the restaurant with some lounging options, and the rooms are good. The staff were nice, beds were super comfortable, etc!

it's a bit off of the beaten track, but well worth it! The staff were absolutely amazing, so nice and welcoming. The amount of food they provided was enough for at least 6 people (there were 2 of us)! and the room was really comfortable. Enough space (not huge but fine), good bathroom, window onto the garden where I watched a local family collect apricots.

The Riad itself is nice. The walk to the Riad down the winding and sometimes dark alley was not my favorite. As a woman alone, I definitely didn't like it. It was safe, nothing at all happened, but it made me feel a bit nervous. The room was good and looked out onto the main courtyard and plunge pool. Couldn't keep the windows open as it would be to noisy, but aircon worked fine. The breakfast was good...lots of options.

Fine for a late arrival. I thought the room smelled like smoke even though it was non-smoking.

Breakfast was amazing!! Staff was helpful and accommodating.

Breakfast was absolutely fantastic. The hotel staff was helpful and flexible during our stay.

Blanca became part of our family during the course of the day trip. She literally spent the entire day with us getting to know us and us her. Her knowledge of the history of Bruges was amazing. Her recommendations for where to eat and even more so, where to snack, was spot on. We highly recommend using Blanca for tours in Bruges.

Eva was great guide that took us away from the 'commercial areas' to understand more about Amsterdam and all of the history from when it was founded and evolved over the years. She used maps and visuals to really bring that history to life so we could fully understand the significance of the city. We highly recommend Eva for anyone interested in touring Amsterdam.

Probably the best tour and museum on our trip. Having the passes ready for us made the experience that much better.

Monika was a great guide. She gave us personal insight into the history and events that took place in Berlin.

Beautiful setting, hot tub feature, welcome and services from staff helpful

Thanos extremely helpful to us throughout our stay, arranging a birthday celebration for my grandson, coordinating rides for us, and helping us rent a second room for comfort

Great place to start our trip, comfortable and welcoming

Loved Delos tour. More “friendly” than Athens Parthenon tour

Guide knowledgeable. Very friendly and private tour able to accommodate my handicap

Loved the boat, activities, and friendly staff Sunset pictures amazing

Great to have our own time to explore

Historical

Walking to the beach long and difficult with my hsndicap. Driver did drive down to pick up up after

Our personal guide was knowledgeable, friendly and aware of my handicap needs. Great tour

Our guide was very knowledgeable and really helped us with more knowledge and background info.

The taxi service was very accommodating. I asked to leave earlier and they helped me make that happen without any extra fees.

Giada was a pleasure to meet. Fun, witty and she knows the local spots for food. It was really nice to met someone from the city and to ask her questions about Venice throughout her life there. We loved her.

Such an amazing way to see the different cities. Our boat operator was fantastic and added so many different touches with his knowledge of the area. We had a blast.

Carmela is amazing. She made this cooking class so much fun. We couldn’t stop laughing throughout the experience.

Our driver was amazing. He took such great care of us and even stopped by the airport, out of his way with no extra charge, to grab my sister’s bag that was delayed a few days.

This was our most favorite activity of the trip. Such a cool experience and breathtaking views of the countryside.

Absolutely fantastic and our guide was a pleasure to meet.

We loved Dimitri. Amazing host and so knowledge of the city and food.

One of the best experiences we had in Argentina, and definitely our favorite night in Buenos Aires! Pierre and Graciela were fabulous hosts! We were taken on a tour of the historical tango area of Buenos Aires where we learnt all about the history of the tango, dance and music. We had an excellent time in Pierre and Graciela's home making empanadas and chatting with them and their two sons. Their genuine kindness and warmth was undeniable from the entire family and we felt so welcome and at home. We had a wonderful dinner, discussions about life and even played some tango related games!

The view of the falls were fabulous, incredible view of the devils throat. A lot smaller park than that of the Argentina side, but worth the visit.

This was our favorite tour in Iguazu! Our two wonderful guides were encyclopedias of knowledge, with an incredible passion, love and insight into the local birds and nature. We were lucky enough to see a plethora of incredible birds, from the woodpecker to the turkey vulture. We saw the tracks of a panther and the Jaguar and the Anteater, which was incredible. I would recommend this trip to all visiting Iguazu.

Lots of fun! The water was beautiful and warm, the view of the falls was fabulous, plus we saw some capybara and crocodiles.

AMAZING!!!!! This was a great tour. Our guide was very kind and knowledgeable of all of the local nature we were experiencing. The falls are so beautiful and we had a wonderful time.

Rosa and her son Sylvestre were kind and welcoming! we had a lovely time picking oranges and making juice, chasing and feeding the chickens and enjoying the beautiful mountain views. We had a wonderful time exploring and hiking in the local area, watching the condor and vultures in their natural habitat.

This was an amazing experience! We love our wine and were excited for this experience. We commenced the day with a tasting of 3 beautiful wines from the Colome vineyard, one white (torrontes) and two Malbec reds. Having done the wine tasting in Buenos Aires and learning so much there, we could build on our tasting knowledge which was a lot of fun. Our sommelier was excellent, with fantastic knowledge and the wine was delicious. We then had a very cool tour of the Vineyard owners personal art collection by James Turrell which we were not expecting but was very cool! The lunch that followed was lovely, sitting in the sun overlooking the beautiful grounds of the Colome vineyard.

Sandra was an incredible tour guide, her in-depth knowledge of the history of Buenos Aires was impressive but fascinating! Her kind and warm soul was a delight to be around and we just had a wonderful day with Sandra. We started our morning with Sandra collecting us rom our hotel, with a quick subway ride to the the business district in SanTelmo where we learned all about the independence of Buenos Aires and the sad but fascinating history of the city. We visited the Pink building, the cathedral, the Mayo plaza and strolled the historical streets of San Telmo. We then proceeded by bus to La Boca, a beautifully colourful area by the dock. Here we learned about the history of La Boca along with the life of Maradona and Eva Perón. We returned to Palermo by bus where Sandra dropped us to the Botanical Gardens where we continued our day solo.

We attended the tango show and dinner following a wine tasting next door. The dinner was ok, but the staff were so lovely and the tango show was amazing! A great experience overall!

This was a fun evening! Our sommelier clearly knew his wines, we learned so much while enjoying the beautiful Malbec from Patagonia, to the torrentes of Cafayate. We would highly recommend this wine tasting experience!

Beno, was a fantastic host, her bubbly nature and kindness was palpable from the second we met her. We were taken around Buenos Aires for 4hrs by bike, from the obelisk to the beautiful rose gardens in Palermo. Her knowledge and love for her job was very apparent and we had a wonderful first day in Buenos Aires with Beno.

Wonderful location!

We had the best room!

Unfortunately we did not get to stay at this hotel, but if it was like any of the others, weather was the reason but they found us a great alternative!

The whale watching was one of the highlights of the trip. We got to see whales up close, which was a fantastic experience.

The tour was fascinating. We saw seals and got to touch a piece of iceberg that's thousands of years old. However, it was also a stark reminder of global warming.

Snowmobiling on the glacier was an unforgettable experience. Being from Wisconsin, snowmobiling isn't new, but doing it on a glacier was thrilling!

The Vok Baths were a great place to unwind. At first, I was hesitant due to fatigue, but it turned out to be the perfect way to relax.

Great hotel, comfortable rooms, excellent location. The hotel restaurant is excellent!

We loved this hotel. A peaceful refuge in a beauty setting. The service is excellent, as is the food. We would definitely return!

Beautiful hotel! The photos don’t do it justice. The staff was exceptional. We worked definitely return.

Average corporate hotel.

Beautiful hotel, comfortable rooms, excellent service.

The Traditional Tea Ceremony was one of the highlights of the trip. We really enjoyed learning about the culture and the matcha was delicious.

The visit to Chiku Chiku Cafe was fun, but the hedgehogs could have been more alert.

The Sumo Training Visit was a unique experience and it was nice to learn about the culture.

The food tour in Nakameguro was great. We enjoyed trying different types of food and our guide, Stephanie, was super helpful despite a minor miscommunication about timing.

The Mt. Fuji and Hakone Tour was enjoyable, although we only saw the top of Mt. Fuji due to cloud cover.

The visit to Shin Takamatsu's buildings was interesting and we enjoyed seeing his work.

We loved it but the 2.5 hour walk to Todai-Ji was too much, especially in the rain. Would have preferred a more direct route.

Our greeter was very kind and helpful and helped us secure our JR pass and pocket Wi-Fi. Our driver was a little disappointing. We arrived in heavy rain due to the typhoon. He drove quite aggressively in the rain, and then dropped us in the pouring rain when we were not sure which was our AirBNB. Just put our luggage out on the street and drove off. It would have been really helpful if he could have helped us read the Japanese numbers and signage.

We enjoyed having our JR pass. I wish that I would have ordered it myself online so that I could have made seating reservations online. That’s the only drawback.

Dani was awesome. Highly recommend this tour, tour guide and tour company. First class all the way.

Teo was awesome. Highly recommend this tour.

Flor & Fjaere was so unexpectedly amazing. We weren’t sure what to expect when we picked the activity, but we were in awe of the gardens and scenery. The venue and the meal was a one of a kind experience that would be very difficult to duplicate anywhere else.

Having a local guide take us around Bergen was great. It was a wonderful experience to walk around with somebody local to see and hear a more personalized view and history of the city.

The location is amazing- stunning view of the ocean. We spent a lot of time looking for whales from the balcony. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. There is a cliff walk just off the hotel that has gorgeous views of the coastline.

Unique hotel. The rooms and beds were very comfortable. Breakfast had great options and the bar/lounge was open late. It doesn’t have a view of Reykjavik or the harbor but it’s a short walk to the harbor. This hotel had the best blackout shades, we all got a great night’s sleep.

This was our least favorite hotel. The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly but the location wasn’t great nor was it close to activities we had planned. We didn’t have hot water for showers. The restaurant however was good. We had a very nice dinner our first night.

The hotel is in unique location with a beautiful view and a small individual balcony. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The restaurant food was good but the service was just so-so. We drove about 20 minutes away to the closest town for dinner outside of the hotel after the first night.

This spa was amazing. The seven steps were perfect. And the location is beautiful looking out at the water. The large glass window in the sauna just adds to the relaxation. We went to 3 thermal spas and this one was the clear favorite.

Amazing experience- not to be missed. It’s hard to describe and pictures don’t do it justice but the lagoon is stunning. We also saw several seals sunbathing on icebergs. If we had time we would have gone a second time.

We were able to do a hike on the lower part of the glacier. It was an easy hike- not quite what we were expecting based on the photos. We did the 3 hour hike but that includes the ride to and from the glacier and the walk to get to the ice cap. If I were to do it again I would select the 5 or 7 hour hike that takes you further into the glacier. But it was still a great activity that we all enjoyed.

We loved this experience. Amazing view of the glacier while you are out on the ride. The snowmobiles were easy to operate even for a first times. My kids 19, 17 and 13 had so much fun. Our guide was great and we had a chance to stop half way through to soak in the scenery and take some photos. I would highly recommend this activity.

This was such a unique experience. It is definitely cold but worth it. The water is crystal clear. Our guide was great and very funny. He also took these awesome digital photos while we snorkeled that we purchased for at a reasonable cost

This was a fun stop and really interesting to see

The hotel has character. Our room was quiet but our friends were in a room that faced the street. The noise kept them awake. The staff were friendly and helpful. We did not eat breakfast at the hotel because our boat tour started too early. The breakfast they packed for us was good.

See the comments with the Waira Suites in Leticia.

An absolutely beautiful hotel. The main area had a fabulous view. The rooms were gorgeous - totally unique from anything we have ever been to. The food was excellent.

The room was fine. The breakfast was good. The location was a little ways away from the tourist area but it we could comfortably walk to the area. The location seemed like it was not entirely safe but that may just have been our imagination. The hotel does not look like much from the street. Nonetheless, there were no issues whatsoever.

The Leticia hotel was nice. The food was good. We were only in the hotel one night and we left early in the morning so it is hard to say much about it. The Puerto Narino hotel was excellent. The breakfast was good. The location was good. The staff were friendly.

The hotel is in a nice location. The rooms are attractive. The hotel is small so you feel more welcome and cared for as compared to large hotels. The problem was that the room faced a busy street. So, I was kept awake by roaring motorcycles, cars honking, people talking on the street... This particularly affects me because I am a light sleeper.

The food was tasty. The guide was knowledgeable. We were a little nervous about whether all of the street food was safe to eat or not. Nonetheless, there were no issues.

Our friends went on this and had an excellent experience and said that the island was beautiful. My wife had food poisoning (likely from food eaten on the walking tour). So, we did not go on the tour.

Our guide was very knowledgeable.

Our friends went on this and said that it was excellent.

Being in the Amazon was an experience of a lifetime. Our guide was incredible.

The guide was superb. She was informative, friendly, and helpful.

Fabulous guide. She was informative, friendly, and helpful. We were surprised that there was so much to learn about the fruits (e.g., their benefits).
