Kimkim Trip Reviews

Great location if you want to spend the day visiting the Cathedral.

Sort of hard to get to but worth the effort! Outstanding views and location!!

Love, love, love this hotel!! The views were spectacular!! Very authentic country farm/winery hotel.

Good location for visiting the main areas of Desanzano. Close to restaurants and ferries which were both within a 8 minute walk from hotel.

Beautiful hotel and location in Varenna, Lake Como!!

Unfortunately we did not participate in the event as we were exhausted. Sorry to miss this,

So easy to view all 5 villages!!

Very interesting! Great winery!

Wow!! Great tour!! Beautiful surroundings and so interesting.

So beautiful! Our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive to our questions.

So glad we had a tour! Amazing guide and tour.

Lots of walking. Great opportunity to see local places and taste native foods

Very informative tour of this major landmark.

Collin was an excellent guide for the bike tour and Albert was our guide for the wine tour. Beautiful day away from the crowds.

Would not recommend. Restroom was gross, not even by third world standards. Staff was impersonal. They only had one boat and it was leaking. Almost tipped over near the end when boat wave swamped us. Mikele was guide and did a great job though, despite a leaking kayak. Scenery was OK.

Wonderful tour. Not too long and food was great. Manuel was wonderful - he loves flamenco and shared his passion with us

Wry impressive site. Tons of walking. Many stairs

Nope. Major tourist trap. Extremely crowded and not worth the effort. Dark and many stairs. Stay away

Super fun. A bit physically challenging, but in a good way. You go right inside an ice cave on a glacier and then through it to come out on the other side to hike on the glacier a short way.

Excellent dinner there. Lots of vegetables with main course.

No host. Not sure about the safety there. I did not go out to run by myself.

Very quiet, clean and it was so much fun to see and hear the horses. Sorry we did not have time for a ride. They recommended a wonderful hike for us. Thank you.

Very disappointed, cancelled due to wind. When is it not windy the there? Provided full refund

Best part of the trip. Hawk, our guide , was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable, fun to be with.

Good breakfast.

We were unable to stay due to change in itinerary due to illness. We were very disappointed when the hotel did not reimburse us anything.

Fantastic and full day. We saw and experienced it all. Our local tour guide was amazing.

Hotel in excellent location. Breakfast and restaurant food was good. Need renovation of washroom

good experience if you haven't seen any coffee farm or small towns. but it is a long drive almost 2,5 hrs one way. not sure it is worth the experience

We had a terrible experience at this hotel. The first night we got there we had to call reception because there was water on the bathroom floor and the toilet was leaking. They said that they will move us to a different room but later told us that there weren’t any rooms available. So they sent someone to fix the toilet but it leaked the next day. We called reception again at 8 PM and someone else came to dried up the floor and put out towels on the floor. Both maintenance guys didn’t know what the problem was. They just kept drying the floor. We had to called reception one more time at 1AM because the noise of the water that was leaking woke us up. At this point they wanted to move us to another room and we said no thank you. We were leaving that day. We won’t ever ever come back to this hotel.

The room was nice clean. Unfortunately the sink was not working properly. The water was not going down. The food at the restaurant was good and the people at the front desk were helpful

We had a terrible experience there. There was a bar close by and the music was very loud. The music didn’t stop until midnight and then the dogs started barking until 4AM. The next day the music started again at 9AM. The lake is beautiful and peaceful but it’s so sad that the loud music ruined our stay there. It seems that they don’t care about the tourists. We won’t ever go back there.

We had a great time at the Camino Real Hotel. People are very caring and helpful there. The rooms are very clean. The food at the restaurant is amazing! I forgot my phone and Fitbit chargers there and they emailed me to let me know. I was so happy to get the chargers back. Arturo the driver was able to pick them up at the Camino Real Hotel and brought them back to the hotel that we were staying at in Guatemala City. We would go back to the Camino Real in a heart beat!!!

Javier and Kevin were very helpful and very nice people.

Our guide Oliver was very knowledgeable. Our driver Eduardo was very nice too. We enjoyed the sunrise very much. Oliver even let us used his binoculars to see the monkeys.

We enjoyed going to the National Palace, Cayala and the market. The only thing is the traffic is terrible.

Delfina was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed this activity very much. The store was very pretty too.

This hotel had the best views and was so accommodating! We loved it!

Hotel Britannia is a luxury hotel that really lives up to its reputation. The rooms are beautiful. The facilities--gym, pool, sauna and spa--are well-appointed. The whole place smells good. The staff is friendly and professional. The breakfast is out of this world good.

We are not people who go on cruises so we were pleasantly surprised with our over all experience. The MS Richard With is a working cargo ship as well as a cruise ship so it's a pared down cruise experience is my impression. Lots of folks sitting with their knitting looking out on the fjords as we sailed by. As for food, we only opted for breakfast, which was excellent. We were very comfortable and had a very nice time. The best part was when a crew member spoke about certain islands we were passing and their history.

This hotel is a located in Nyhavn which is a very busy area. The hotel is near the sound, just around the corner from the theater and Ofelia Plads, a five minute walk from a pedestrian bridge that crosses the sound and about an eight minute walk from Kongens Nytorv, where the Royal Ballet is. The area between those points can be packed but it's about one of the prettiest areas in the city. We were in junior suites on the top floor, each had a sitting area or desk with a sleeping area upstairs under the eaves. The rooms were very comfortable, pretty and sunny. They can get warm from the sun and being at the top of the building but there is a window that opens and air-conditioning. The staff were EXTREMELY helpful, going out of their way to make sure we were aware of issues with road closures the day of our departure and helping us strategize the best way to get to the airport. The breakfast is very nice with lots of options and good coffee.

This is a good location because you are within a ten minute walk to anything you would want to see or do but it's a quiet street. We were there the weekend the local football team won the Norway cup and the town was going nuts but we couldn't here any of it from our hotel. Staff is helpful if not overly friendly. The lobby is nice to hang out in with tea and coffee available and the breakfast was high quality with lots of selection and good food. They do need to do a little bit of work on their rooms. The furniture is in noticeably poor shape and there are no black-out shades which can make sleeping in the summer months a bit difficult.

We used the Copenhagen card to travel out to the Louisiana Museum, it covered both the train and entrance to the museum. We also used it for the Rosenberg Castle and the metro. The number of attractions are staggering. We were biking around the city, but if you are relying on trains and busses or want to take day trips this is must have.

Tivoli Gardens is the 19th century prototype for our modern day theme parks. It is smaller than modern ones but it is so well designed that it feels much bigger than it is. The rides are fun, there is excellent food to be had and the landscaping is incredibly beautiful. We were there in spring when the flowers were in early bloom. We went on a Friday night when they have free concerts. The concert area was packed with locals coming to hear a very popular Danish rock band. There's also a laser show, a philharmonic and panto. Or if shopping is your thing, there are tchotchke shops galore.

We loved this tour and the tour guide. It is a two and a half hour walking tour that is worth every minute so wear comfortable shoes and maybe do some extra miles at home before your trip. Our guide had lived in the US for many years so her English was excellent. Her knowledge of the history of Denmark and Copenhagen is extensive but she is such a good story teller that she makes it come alive in interesting a surprising ways. She was able to customize the tour on the spot according to our interests which she picked up on through conversation.

I would recommend this for people who have some familiarity with kayaking. You don't need much experience but there are some tricky spots where it helps to know how to handle the kayak. That said, our guide did an excellent job of covering the basics, getting us geared up and in the kayaks.

Madga did an excellent job of explaining the history of Bergen and Norway. Her comments on Byrggen and Hanseatic heritage were especially enlightening. We covered a fair bit of ground, but the pace is gentle and she took care not to exhaust the members of the tour.

We loved this riad! It was very charming and the Moroccan design did not disappoint

Very authentic feeling hotel. The rooms very spacious and the views were incredible

Loved the design and character of this riad

The guys at Tiziri luxury camp were amazing! They were courteous and very sweet and the food was incredible!

A very nice waterfront hotel - nothing fancy but clean and good service with a great balcony facing the waterfront. Very nice bar with good food. Great location.

Unbelievable rooms and amazing service. Central to everything.

Lovely hotel with beautiful rooms and amazing views. The cost of those views comes from the trip up the mountain on a narrow, switch back road with no rails - scary up and down trip every day for anyone afraid of heights. There are also no other services so you will need to eat and drink onsite. Breakfast was not served until 8:30AM, and there were no staff onsite earlier if you wanted a coffee or tea. I found that lacking for a Relais and Chateau property. Dinner was outstanding.

It is a converted Convent, so rooms are small and sparse but clean. Minimal staff in the evening/morning so it was difficult to find someone if you wanted a drink at the bar or coffee in the morning. Location next to the ruins is very nice.

Lovely hotel with good service. Many rooms have windows that overlook the atrium and dining area instead of outside, so you may want to request an "outside" room if that is important to you. Great location in central Lisbon.

mentioned previously

This is a very nice facility and the staff was great. They have the main pools, plus 2 floating pools in the river. It is possible to jump into the freezing river and then climb back into the pools. It was a unique experience. A nice touch is also a corridor where you can walk right into the pool without having to brave the cold outside air. Of course, I learned that too late.

I highly recommend this activity. But check the time of year vs whale populations in the harbor. I was there when the whales were in abundance and got to see many. But it may be different at other times of year. The boats can accommodate many people and even though there were lots of people, I never felt crowded. There was always room to move about the vessel. Also, they were nice enough to give everyone hot chocolate and a cinnamon roll on the way back to port.

This was a nice large natural bath. It was very soothing and had a swim up bar that was very convenient. It has great views overlooking the water like an infinity pool. Viewing the sunset from the water was very nice.

This was a cool experience. It was fun and the place is very nice. I didn't eat at the restaurant but the menu looked good. The room with the beer bath and tap is private, clean, and you should definitely try it out, since you came all this way anyway.

Very clean, centrally located, safe. Near all things you might want in Athens. The Placa, restaurants, groceries, Acropolis, shopping, kitchen well equipment. Very nice experience!

A lot of fun, we’ll worth it!

Great view of the sea. Nice and friendly staff. Quiet location 10 minutes ride into Fira. Beautiful breakfast and restaurant services. Room was clean and well appointed.

LOVED this cute boutique 9 room hotel. Staff was GREAT, location was GREAT, the rooms were all unique in a historic 16th century building. Beautifully done!

Just okay. Adequate. Good location to walk to the square and close to the port.

Did NOT like this ‘Villa.’ The word villa is an overstatement. Odd layout of the house for bedrooms. Leaking living room roof and bathroom floor. The owner was defensive over issues when we had to call him to fix the electricity that went out in the living room (probably due to water in the ceiling). He suggested we overloaded the system. Really????? We were out the entire day!!! It was not very clean in the cabinets and too much evidence of someone living there. Yuck. The oven was not set up so no way to use it. No toaster… when we asked about it 2 days later, the comment back was “you can’t expect me to make sure everything is working.” Really??? Beds were not comfortable, bedding in downstairs bedroom didn’t fit, exposing the mattress, yuck. I slept on the blanket. Downstairs tub was so high it was dangerous to get in/out. Towel bar was rehung at about 6’, impossible to reach. The holes were remaining from being moved up. The best thing about the property was the pool and view. That’s it!

Great location, right next to the windmills. Old hotel that’s been renovated. It was very luxurious yet not stuffy. Beautiful pool area with views of the sea.

Wow, love this apartment! Direct view of the Acropolis out the beautiful living room windows. Clean, newly and beautifully remodeled. Owner/manager was available anytime. Bedding and bed was great. Kitchen well appointed. Location wonderful, in the heart of the Plaka district.

Great location, nice hotel. Good value for the money.

This place was HUGE! There were lots of groups, and we were thrown into one with headsets to listen to the guide. The audio wasn’t working well and there was so much overlap between groups and guides walking around, that the frequencies kept getting mixed up. I abandoned my set and just tried to listen. I would have preferred to walk around, self guided as there were plenty of placards around.

We loved this family farm. They were so passionate and eager to teach us about olive oil and olives. It was great experience.

Our guide was great. He was knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much about the history of the island. We walked through iconic areas for the best photo opportunities. We were dropped at the winery while he waited outside. Wine tasting was at Artemis Karamolegos. There were 3 tastings and we talked them into 2 more! Very generous (we bought a bottle!). We got little nibbles for 2, even though they knew there were 3 of us. We had to ask for more food! They were very nice about it.

We all enjoyed the visit to Delphi. It was in a beautiful location. Even though there were lots of tourists, there was plenty of room to explore and not feel crowded.

Our google map link for this restaurant was facing the water with a beautiful outdoor setting. The owner (assuming) rudely told us we need to go to the ‘other one’ and pointed in the direction to go. Apparently they are owned by the same family. The ‘other one’ was on a back street so we ate inside (nothing special). The food was fresh and good but we didn’t appreciate how we were handled.

Only 6 of us in the group tour (3 were us). We went for Turkish style coffee, olive oil tasting + cheese, a quick souvlaki at her favorite place, and then lunch. Lunch was sharing traditional Greek dishes. The guide was also a therapist who was on a cleansing fast. So, she did not share any of our food. 🙃 She was very nice and included the fish and meat markets, and a spice store as we were walking around. All in all, good tour.

It was quite a drive, but beautiful countryside. Both museums were done very well and worthwhile. We stopped for lunch in Pella at a local family restaurant. It was typical Greek dishes in sharing style. It was lovely.

One of my favorite experiences of the 30 days through Greece. Walking through 4 villages was a special experience. I highly recommend doing this! It’s not difficult, but it is 4 hours (or a bit more).

Loved this tour with our local guide. We had an authentic Naxos meal at a family restaurant in her village. Food was lovely.

Well, we realized 1/2 way into the tour that it was NOT a Jewish tour but a Classic Tour. They did their best to make up for it and added extra time. We let the Travel 12 know….handled very well. Next day on the way to Pella, the driver took us to an amazing old Synagogue to make up for the goof.

Be prepared to be among 1000 people touring at the same time. It was like Disneyland. BUT, it was the amazing Acropolis! The tour guide was professional and knowledgeable.

This hostel was actually nicer and seemingly newer than Villamar. It was clean and comfortable with a nice dining room.

One should not go to San Pedro expecting 5 star accommodations. This hotel was fine. It was clean and spacious and located only minutes from the center of town. It is a big property with a pool (though water was cold and I didn't see any one swim during my 6 day stay). Food in restaurant was good. Staff helpful and generally bi-lingual.

Hotel was fine. It was clean and centrally located in a good neighborhood.

By US Hotel standards this would probably be considered a one-star hotel. It is a hostel, though, and was clean and comfortable with hot water and decent food. That's all we really needed.

This was a great day. I wish it had been sunny (we had overcast/cool weather) but the tour was good in spite of the weather. Only complaint is that I did not get any advance text or information from the tour provider about pick up time or what to bring. I (and others) had to purchase hat and gloves along the way, which I would have brought with me had I known we might encounter snow at the higher elevation.

Valle de La Luna was a highlight of the trip. It is a "must do" if you are visiting Atacama, but I found the tour (as did everyone I spoke to) to be a little bit of a tourist trap. You are on the bus most of the time. You stop, get off the bus, snap pictures and move on. While on the bus you are driving past amazing spots. I could have spent an hour at any one of them taking pictures and enjoying nature. The tour was described as 6 hours. It was 2 1/2 start to finish, including a snack break. I wish it had been longer. Felt like a little bit of a rip off. Tour guide Carolina, who was also my guide for the Geyser tour, was very knowledgeable.

This was a nice tour at an off-the-beaten-path site. It is definitely not a "must do" but I'm glad I got to see it. The water was very cold, and it was a cool morning, so I (and many others on the trip) did not end up floating in the salt water.

This tour was a bit of a letdown. I've done a lot of hikes in the US and around the world, and as a hike it was fine, but nothing special. The description made it seem like a real great place - a "must do" type of activity. It was not. Also, the hot springs were not hot. They not really even hot springs, but rather pools in a river that is a combination of a thermal and a mountain river, which is why the water is only Luke-warm. For my needs on this day, a regular hike was fine. But I had expected it to be much more.

This was one of the highlights of the trip. Our guide, Carolina, was terrific. Very knowledgeable, moved people along so we could get to the "best spot" just as the sun came up, spoke good English for those who did not know Spanish.

This was really just about the return trip, sitting in the back of a Toyota Land Cruiser and a two hour border crossing. It would have been great to have more information ahead of time to know what to expect.

This was the reason for the whole trip. It was pretty great. We spent too much time in Cochoni Town at the end of the trip and would have liked to spend more time in Uyuni itself. Train Graveyard was fine, though nothing special.

Felt like we were building and building to the climax of reaching our final destination - the salt flat itself. Sights along the way were all good.

The tour itself was great and the sites along the way to Uyuni amazing. The reason for my lower rating is because of border crossing issues which I detailed in my general review comments.

One of the highlights of the trip. Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough good about this place. We loved everything and every one. The front desk person even made a restaurant recommendation “off the list” which I know is not common- and it was outstanding! Also, the room was incredibly well designed- lighting furniture placement, amenities and bathroom… every detail was intelligently thought out and we appreciated it. On top of this they delivered iced Cava and a desert tray?! We felt like royalty for a day.

A serviceable place that is clean but feels like a budget motel. Zero amenities but a vending machine on every floor. Active jackhammering just below our room when we checked in. Management did try to help out but 🤷‍♀️ what can you do?

Great location and charming view.

Not the best experience. The parking was ridiculously complicated, the staff never seemed to have what we needed (and didn’t care) and the restaurant staff was beyond insulting- claiming they had no way to seat us until 10 pm… it was 7 pm and the place was completely empty. A senior staff took pity on us and sat us (with no apology or explanation ) and we proceeded to order and eat… and the restaurant never got more than 30% full during the entire meal. I’ve never been so insulted in my entire life. The room was as dark as a cave. Very unpleasant. We do not recommend.

Excellent and welcoming staff and an amazing location that is close to everything yet still quiet and intimate. We loved this hotel and highly recommend it it!!

You get so much more out of the visit with a knowledgeable guide

Awesome I’m every way. Totally recommend!!

Loved the “special guest” treatment

It was informative.
