Kimkim Trip Reviews

Great location!!

Another great guide....though her name is one I can't pronounce or spell! She was a great guide for the Guggenheim, gave really good perspectives.

Loved Maya....she was so enthusiastic about the area and preserving the small farmer culture that it really made the trip enjoyable.

This was a really fun trip....highly recommend it!

It was raining, so we did plan B....a train trip to a different spot up the coast. Great guide, who we had for tomorrow as well...Anna.

We were glad we did a small group (rather than private) as it made it more fun. It was a great group. ....we went to 5 places!

Amaya was terrific. Great overview of San Sebastian!

Both good, glad we did them.

Loved Natalie! She's a doll. She went at a perfect pace and was fun.

The guide was lovely, however the Royal Palace was closed that day so we couldn't go. We went to the Prado, where she spent way too long talking about a couple of paintings by Greco. We would have rather seen more in the Prado than the focus on a couple paintings. That said, she was a very good guide and very personable.

While the guide was great, it didn't feel like the "tapas" we were expecting. We essentially sat down in 3 restaurants and had a single item in each place.

Was simply amazing! Great guide! Beautiful and so relaxing. Trip highlight!

Our guide, Itzsia (hopefully I’m spelling correctly) was amazing! She also was helpful for kid friendly options! The food was so good!

Beautiful and eco friendly!

Amazing pool, location and breakfast!

Our stay at the Schweizerhof in Zürich was fantastic. The hotel was nothing short of spectacular, and it rounded off our trip perfectly.

Our stay at Hotel Villa Flori on Lake Como was spectacular. Despite the challenges with the ferry services, the hotel really stood out as a high point of our stay

The Cascada Boutique Hotel in Luzern was charming, and the staff was lovely. Breakfast was delightful. However, we were a bit disappointed with the size of the rooms, which were smaller than what was shown in the pictures.

Our stay at Hotel Spadari Al Duomo in Milan was lovely. The staff was friendly, the food was great, and the hotel itself was beautiful. We really enjoyed walking around Milan.

The Zürich city guided walking tour was a highlight of our trip. Our guide was fantastic, really knowledgeable, and made the experience enjoyable. Zürich is a truly amazing city, and this tour gave us a great taste of what it has to offer.

The Mount Rigi Panorama Trail & Cliff Walk was quite the adventure. However, my wife and I both experienced some altitude sickness due to the high elevation. Regardless, the views were breathtaking and worth the climb.

The private boat tour on Lake Como was an absolute delight. The driver was friendly, and the three-hour tour was just the right amount of time to appreciate the beautiful lake. However, we did experience some challenges with the ferry services being sold out, which made visiting Bellagio a bit of a hassle. The town was more crowded than we expected.

Our guided tour of Lucerne was exceptional. Our guide was informative and really added to the experience.

This place was amazing! So beautiful, clean, and conveniently located.

Loved this! Our tour guide David was very knowledgeable and fun. The hot springs were the perfect too off after the hike.

A beautiful hotel. Very gracious with nice restaurant. Rooms while quite small, very comfortable. The decor and references to Churchill were a nice touch. On-site parking a big plus.

Great roomy accommodation attached to pub. Located in the centre of this small village. Loved it but two downsides - noisy patrons in the beer garden and only access via external timber staircase. Hard with luggage.

Quirky hotel, well located near the Thames and Borough Market and an easy walk into central London

I wish we would have been here longer - we stayed our last night and had to leave quite early to catch our flight. We were welcomed with a cold glass of lemonade while we checked in. The hotel is right around the corner from many wonderful restaurants and shops, so we had fun walking through and finding someplace to have our last dinner in Greece. We left at 3 a.m. and the hostess arranged for us to have breakfast packed in a bag for us, which was very kind. Rooms are beautiful and spacious.

This is a beautiful property with expansive views, lots of space, close access to the beach, and helpful staff.

This is a beautiful property in a great location in Oia. It is right on the caldera and require a lot of steps and stamina to get from the main street to the rooms. The beds were very comfortable and the housekeepers did a nice job keeping us supplied with towels and toiletries.

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Helpful, friendly staff and a delicious breakfast.

The catamaran cruise was a highlight of our trip. From the kind and helpful crew and well-appointed boat to the absolutely gorgeous views of Santorini that you can only experience by sea, this experience was amazing. Our guides stopped at several location so we could swim and snorkel, gave us interesting and helpful information about Santorini's history, and made us a delicious dinner. The sunset was stunning and closed out the day perfectly.

This is a beautiful winery right outside of Fira. Our chef Angelikki provided helpful instruction with history of the winery, region, traditional foods, and ingredients. This was a hands-on experience that we really enjoyed. The wines were delicious.

This was a comprehensive and well-guided tour of the key ancient sites in Athens. The tour guide provided great history and context to what we were seeing and tied the whole tour together in an engaging narrative.

This activity was really special, and it's an experience I'll always remember. Our guide, George, picked us up at our resort and took us to a beautiful olive oil factory in Halki. We were able to drive through the countryside and several scenic villages while George told us about the history about the island and the region. He then took us to Miss Maria's and Mr. Yannis' farm where we received instruction and helped create a traditional Greek dinner. They couldn't have been more kind and gracious, and we enjoyed every minute of our time there. The meal was delicious and the experience was absolutely fantastic.

A fun little spot that was perfect for the two of us, but would be on the cramped side with a larger party.

A great hotel, but quite a walk from old town.

A historic spot only a short walk away from plenty of city activities. Looks great inside and out, and has extremely attentive and courteous staff.

We learned, we ate, and we repeated the process. I'm not sure if the tour was meant for more than two, but there was SO MUCH FOOD. Everything was delicious and we took a good portion of leftover snacks along with us for the rest of the day.

After a short drive from Dubrovnik, we had a lovely walking tour of Cavtat. We learned about the city's history, its relationship with Dubrovnik, and took in some gorgeous sights. We then took another short drive to a family farm near Čilipi, and had an experience that I don't think I'll ever forget. Our host shared area history, family stories, and treated us to a delicious meal. The view was divine.

Grgo picked us up in the afternoon, showed us some of the island that we otherwise would've never seen, and showed us some Hvar history. We tasted a number of wines at Duboković that were all superb, and ended up buying a bottle to take home with us. We then visited Grgo's family home and tasted some of their own wines alongside a light snack, all of which was extremely good.

Ana shared plenty of GoT filming fun facts and had some fun visual aids to bring scenes from the show to life on the streets. We also asked her to include some general Dubrovnik history and culture into her tour, and we learned a lot!

Absolutely beautiful with high quality accommodation and amenities.

Fred was amazing. So fun and easy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone! @fredandbreakfast

Our guide was so knowledgeable and kind. She really took what we wanted to see into consideration and was amazing to have.

This river cruise was amazing. The food was so good, the drinks did not stop coming, and the views were gorgeous. We had a live singer and she was brilliant.

I regret I can’t remember our guides name but she was extremely knowledgeable and excited to show us the wildlife of her country. Great with our kids, who loved seeing the Orange kneed tarantula and millipedes. The cloud forest is beautiful and we learned a lot on this short hike. The bridges are waaay up there.

David was very knowledgeable and really passionate about the wildlife and landscape. He was great/patient with our kids, fielding a million questions. Really nice guy and provided a lot of information about the volcano and history of the area.

Junior was awesome. He was incredibly knowledgeable about coffee and proper brewing methods. Lots of history and conversation about coffee and chocolate. The tastings were amazing. The night walk through the jungle was really cool. We were surrounded by so much wildlife. My son finally got to see scorpions and tarantulas in the wild. Even a pit viper made an appearance. Highly recommend Junior and his coffee and jungle experience.

It you want a comfortable, off-the-beaten-path, suite with an amazing view, great accommodations, a lot of room, pool access and beaches nearby, this is the place for you. It is also very affordable. We recommend renting a car to get around Naxos, and were very happy with SeaJets Ferry Service to get between islands. This is about 15 minutes from Naxos (city). There are some very nice beaches, restaurants and little supermarkets nearby. The manager was very helpful with connecting with a rental car service and some of the local attractions. We had not decided to rent a car until we got to the island an figured out that taxis take time to get and are not the fastest and cheapest way to see many things on the island. Our rooms were spacious. The air-conditioning, stove and refrigerators were very nice to have. We chose not to spend all out time at the pool, but instead went to the beach. The area is pretty quiet with not much traffic like Santorini. The beaches were not packed and neither were the streets. There is so much to do on Naxos that is couple or small group friendly that it is hard not to pick it over Athens or Santorini unless you really want the night life from clubs which are better there. We were ten to thirty minutes away from interesting history and got to see the life in a rural area of Greece with all of the fun of restaurants, bakeries, and sites to see. Yes, see Athens and Santorini for their history and the views, but go to Naxos and stay here for the cost, comfort, relaxation and the sites of Naxos. Our goal was not to spend every minute at the Villa. Some people do and you could do that. It was not set up with lots of comfortable chairs and couches for lying around and binging on TV. It was set up as a place to get in the pool, spend time on the patio, sleep, shower, and have quick access to the beach and other sites of Naxos. We will definitely go again.

Our transfers went well to this site. It is a very important site in regard to world history. I wish they would add some special signage and have some displays, but there is still work being done there from time to time.

We had fun making the meal and our chef was both fun and personable. The wine was very good, but the experience was definitely a do again.

Great food and beautiful view of the sunset. Oia and this restaurant have some of the highest quality places to go on Santorini or in Greece.

West facing windows and no air flow or air conditioning during a particularly hot spell. A few issues with the plumbing that did not get fully addressed. Street noise and uncomfortable bed were a point of concern.

Truly a grand place to stay. The staff were very professional and welcoming. They made it very easy to check in .

This hotel was really close to Buckingham Palace which made it easy to visit many different places. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Jason and Bianca were especially personable and helpful and had a wonderful attitude every time we saw them. It is an intimate and very quiet hotel off the beaten path. It made for a great home-base for several nights while we explored London.

This Lodge has a beautiful yard and garden, open for the guests to enjoy. It was in walking distance to restaurants and activities in the town of Windermere. Mike and Lynne were gracious hosts and served wonderful breakfasts. We had a very comfortable room with a panoramic view of the backyard and gardens.

Great tour guide! Paul from Scotland via Spain had a wealth of knowledge and he was not afraid to share it. Small bus instead of a full-size bus and a nice group of tourists. Alnwick Castle woodwork was breathtaking as well as the gardens. Holy Island was fascinating but we just didn't have enough time there. There definitely wasn't enough time to walk to the castle itself.

Lovely tour of York. Shared history in an interesting way. Loved the background info about all the different conquerors and influences on York.

Covered so much ground with a very funny and knowledgeable guide. Saw things we wouldn't have known to look for by going on this tour. We would highly recommend this tour as a great groundwork for seeing Edinburgh.

A really great way to rest after walking up to the castle on a hot day. Presentation of the tea was so lovely as well as everything tasted great.

Too much bus time, too little destination time. There was definitely too little time in Bath, although the tour guide made a point of walking with just the two of us up to the Circus and the Crescent, with little time to spare! The tour guide was very well-informed. We only had time to go to Shakespeare's school at Stratford upon Avon and didn't get to spend any time seeing the sights of the town itself.

Too much bus travel and too little time at the sights. Disclaimer: we had to drive from London to get to these locations, when originally, we were supposed to be located in Oxford itself. The locations themselves were interesting and well worth seeing..

An excellent hotel with a boutique character. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. I slept well. Excellent location with many restaurant options.

Unfortunately the area around Botero park is not that nice, but really it is no different than other cities. Fortunately, it was but a small distraction from the rest of the tour. The Botero statues are worth seeing and Comuna 13 is special. What the people of this community have done for s an inspiration. I loved being there.

An amazing landscape.

If you like street art you will love Colombia! Having a guide like Daniel tell you the back story of some of these wonderful pieces of street art adds so much.

Very interesting tour of a landmark of freedom in the Americas. Glad I visited and I really appreciate the work the people of this community are doing to keep this unique culture alive.

I really enjoyed walking through the Getsemani neighborhood. Lively and colorful!

I expected this to be spectacular and it was. If I were a poet I might be able to do justice with words.

One of my favorite days in Colombia. I have a new appreciation for the skill, dedication and hard work that goes into my morning coffee. Learning this at Cafe de la Cima was a great experience. They were fantastic hosts and produce great coffee. I’m glad they ship to the US!

Another great outdoor tour. A great combination of boat ride to see the surroundings from the water, a climb up El Penol for a Birds Eye view, and a stroll through a colorful small town.
