Kimkim Trip Reviews

hey sweet little Hotel on the volcanic hillside at 8000 feet. The rooms were nice and the staff was very good.. had dinner and breakfast here which was good

A comfortable place to stay with good food options on site. Near the river with a nice bridge that goes over the river to go up on. A nice little pool Birdfeeders with fruit to attract birds

very wild experience would not suggest for with children

The food at this hotel in this isolated location could be better

This booked activity was an unnecessary expense. We had our own bird guide with us and he brought us around. So we never even went with the Hotel on their guided tour.

The description of this tour was to walk-through Land to find the Quetzal nest The Quetzal nest was right by the Road and we already had our own bird guide hired for the trip So paying for this additional activity seemed unnecessary. We could’ve easily gone with our own Guide and Car and been standing by the roadside

we thought we would do most of our birding on the grounds, but the tour kept is mostly we near the entry and parking lot. would’ve preferred to go further in to the land. this place is best for true bird fanatics. No feeders to attract birds.

Absolutely wonderful hospitality and care! Delicious, generous breakfast every day! Helpful suggestions to enjoy the area.

The staff here really made us feel special. We felt such warmth and hospitality from the moment we arrived. The view from the rooftop is amazing too!

Our guide, Hassania was so well informed and personable. Her warmth and good humor even outshined her obvious depth of knowledge and skill of communication. We wanted to take her with us!

I’m not certain that I would stay here again and that it is truly a three star hotel. The lobby area and the dining area were exceptional. The pool was beautiful. The rooms however, are very very poor in their furnishings. One of our rooms, even smelt very musty. But the location was wonderful. Again, the exterior of the hotel was really pretty and the staff was so kind and nice in the restaurant area. One night we even ate at the hotel and the food was so delicious. For us it was just the rooms that were terribly lacking in comfort and decor.

This is a definite five star hotel not a four star. It is beautiful inside and the staff is so very helpful. The location is perfect as well. We will definitely stay at this hotel again in the future. Very luxurious very beautiful. And we enjoyed our aperitifs before we headed out for dinner. The person in charge of the bar area was so kind and gave us beautiful history of the resort in the area. A definite asset to the hotel.

This is a very small place, but the staff is so kind and helpful. It is very peaceful, although a bit out of the way from the center of Perugia. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet, clean place to say I would recommend this holiday house for sure.

Truly, one of the most beautiful hotels we have ever stayed at. The hotel staff was exceptionally kind and helpful. The location was terrific and the hotel itself simply beautiful. We will definitely stay here again when in Rome.

If I could get this experience more than five stars I would. It was just the best day that we’ve ever had in a long time. The boat crew showed us so much and also made us laugh. It was just a really happy fun easy day. The stops were great in Amalfi, Positano, and another area which name escapes me that is where we stopped for a very authentic delicious lunch. If you’re looking for a wonderful day on the Mediterranean please look no further than this boat trip. I cannot recommend it enough!!

Another wonderful tour with Liv tours! Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, showed us the off, beaten places. We learned so much through her about the city of Florence. Would definitely recommend!

Our Liv tour guide was exceptional in her knowledge! We learned so much that otherwise I don’t think would ever be possible if you went on your own or with a group. This was a wonderful private tour and we definitely recommend this tour group.

This was an amazing tour by a Liv tour guide. We were able to learn a lot about Rome and experience the Trevi fountain away from the crowds. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and kind. I would definitely do this private tour again.

Great guides! Josh was so fun and knowledgeable and made sure we tried lots of new things at the market and walked away with new knowledge and full stomachs.

Jason was very knowledgeable and was very attentive to our preferences and pace. It was a lot to see in a day but it was so much fun!

Super fun and our teacher was wonderful.

Great view over the river, centrally located in downtown Osaka, included executive lounge

Great breakfast and comfortable rooms

One of the nice options was evening Ramen at a common table included

A an excellent blend as traditional and western Vs. Japanese, onsen bath option, nice lobby to sit and relax, large rooms with futons and sitting area, central location

An authentic ryokan experience with Private Hot Spring baths and communal hot spring baths, tatami mats and low tables and chairs in rooms with authentic Japanese dinner and breakfast, we are in kimonos and sandals

We love the library lounge area of the lobby to sit and relax

Great location, beautiful hotel right on the water.

Super-cool spot in the medina, a short walk to the water. The only potential downside is that there is no A/C, so you needed the windows open for cool, fresh air, but the bustle of activity in the square continued throughout the night. Just bring a fan or use a "noise" app on your phone to drown it out easily.

Great location, beautiful building, friendly staff- who could ask for more?

Such a pretty Kasbah, in a beautiful location. Staff was amazing, the rooms were lovely.

Really liked this place, but it was not our favorite on this trip. The rooms were beautiful, but the restaurant was mid. Also, there were dogs that were barking all night, which interrupted our sleep. Not sure if they were a part of this camp or another, but it was annoying, all the same.

This place was probably my favorite place to stay on Morocco. It was absolutely gorgeous and the staff was beyond wonderful. The breakfast spread was nothing short of amazing.

Great little riad in Chefchaouen. Quiet spot,

Beautiful hotel, only stayed one night, but it definitely set the tone for and amazing trip.

Lunch at the wharf was very casual. We thought it was going to be in a restaurant, but it turns out that you pick a spot, right nerar the water, select your seafood and have it cooked for you while you eat at picnic tables. It was a great experience, just not what we were expecting. Essaouira is more than fresh seafood. There are amazing sunsets from the beach, the medina is cute and manageable (but get most of your shopping done in Fez and Marrakech). Our favorite part was a bit serendipitous. We went for a late morning walk to the wharf, and just kept following it down to the end, and were able to watch the hustle and bustle of the fishing boats coming in and unloading their bounty. The controlled chaos was delightful to watch.

Hicham, our tour guide was, again, incredibly knowledgeable. The city is amazing and it's history is too. His tour gave us a nice lay of the land, which was helpful for the following day, which was a free day, for us to wander around town at our own pace. One night we walked to the new part of Marrakech and had a great time. We had some fantastic dinners in this city.

This was another long day of driving. Fortunately, there were some stops to help break it up. Ait Ben Haddou was interesting, and had some beautiful views, but was kind of unremarkable. The rose cooperative was neat, but I imagined we'd see more fields of roses, considering we were there in peak season. We also made a quick stop at Atlas studios, but did not go in for the tour, it most mostly a chance to stretch our legs. Driving through the high Atlas mountains and seeing the geography change so completely again was great.

I wasn't sure how to feel about this day, but I am so glad we had this opportunity. We started the day meeting up with another tour group from the same company and headed out to a local market to pick veggies for our couscous meal with the family. After that, we had a short tour of the area. Then we went to the family's house. There we were treated to a variety of local delights and a delicious meal. We also learned a bit more about the local culture. The family was wonderful- so kind and welcoming.

Another great day driving, with many stops/ sight to see. The fossils collective in Erfoud had some amazing pieces of fossil art. We stopped at a roadside shop where we tried on native Amazigh clothing and took pictures in them. The family that owned the store was so warm and welcoming. They even let my husband lead a little jam session after he saw an electric guitar sitting in the store. The whole family got involved! Next was the tour of the old village if Tighir (excuse any misspelling). Our guide there was again, fantastic. After that, a stop at the women's rug collective, then an absolutely incredible (and huge) lunch. Next was the Gorge, which was a cool little trek. It was great to see all of the families picnicking alongside it.

LONG travel day (about 10 hours from start to finish. Had lots of stops, so it kept things interesting.

It was great to learn about the history of Fez and to see the old Medina, souks. The sight s and sounds were everything I had hoped for. Our riad was the most incredible place and the service was outstanding. Dinner and a show at the Palais de Medina was a treat.

Meknes is currently closed, due to renovations, but Volubulis was fantastic.

We did not make it to the waterfall, unfortunately, due to the trail being flooded from snow-melt. It was a bummer, but we were able to hike to the God's Bridge, which was a beautiful hike.

Once we got settled in, we headed to the Spanish Mosque to see the sunset. This provided a great view of the city.

It was great to see the changes in geography from one place to another. For all of the long drives, Rachid stopped every 1.5-2 hours for a pit-stop. The places he selected throughout the trip were clean and well-maintained.

Hassania, our guide was fantastic. The tour was informative and interesting. We covered a lot of ground in a short time, but it didn't feel rushed. The mausoleum was breath-taking.

Quick and easy. Rachid was ready and waiting for us when we got through customs. Communication was easy, as we texted via WhatsApp, so we kept him apprised of our progress once we landed.

Beautiful view and great breakfast! Helpful staff! Nice central location!

Great location, helpful staff and good food!

Great breakfast, excellent location and very helpful and caring staff!

This was very interesting and beautiful. Our guide Luis was very flexible and helpful! We changed one of the sites we wanted to see and no problem!

We didn’t get to experience everything because of the rain but what we did see was so beautiful! The guide is very helpful!

This was also a definite highlight of our trip! João and Sophie were incredible hosts! The food was incredible and it was just fun sharing stories and visiting! The markets were very interesting too!

Even in the pouring rain we had fun! Lots of cultural local and unique food! Definitely worth it!

This was very helpful! We didn’t get to everything because it was raining.

Definitely recommend this tour! Vasco took exceptional care of us!! It is nice to interact and experience something really local! Very interesting and educational…beautiful too!

I think this was the highlight of our trip! We got some very personal and unique experiences! Talking with the archeologist from the dig site was incredible! Our tour guide was the best!!!

Amazing!!! Fun experience with a few drink and food samples! A really cool way to see the city from a different perspective. Lots of great photo ops!

It was great to have these as suggestions! We went to two of the three that were suggested.

It was raining but that didn’t stop us! Our guide was very knowledgeable and we saw some amazing things! It was a good thing to get your bearings and the highlights of what to do and see.

We really enjoyed our driver and the knowledge he shared!

We learned so much on this tour! Highly recommend it!

A very nice leisurely tour with excellent variety of local food. Lots of history shared too! Dani was an excellent guide!!

Enjoyed the location and relaxation. Well stocked coffee and tea supplies

The lobby is a bit small and a bit warm and it was confusing at first to check in at the cafe. Overall the rooms were great size, kitchen coffee station well stocked, enjoyed having a washer and drier. The park view is superb

This was such an adorable boutique hotel! The staff was wonderful, answering all of our questions and helping with directions. Our room overlooked the square and we had a fabulous view. Loved that breakfast was included and it offered everything you could think of. When we walked in the waitress asked for our choice of coffees and they made them from scratch every morning. In the evening that restaurant offered wonderful options. We loved the seafood platter and sausage plate!

Loved having a comfy car tour instead of a standard bus tour! Our guide was amazing! He shared a lot about each local and even suggested two different options when the second stop on our schedule had a really long wait due to the number of people and gave us those options. Loved the seaside visit and one palace. It was just enough of each to make it enjoyable. The guide at Peña Palace was exceptional. He took us to the most amazing restaurant for lunch in a place we would never have found ourselves! The food he recommended as local fare was great and something we hadn’t experienced before.

This far exceeded our expectations! The guide and her trainee were very knowledgeable and we loved every minute. We recommended it to our friends that would be in Portugal in a few days and they were excited to try it too!

This tour was not what the description said it would be. We were supposed to meet and talk with locals as we walked through town. We had one guide the entire time who was extremely knowledgeable and a great guide, but toward the end he was checking his phone quite often. All in all it was excellent, but not what I thought it would be.

If you want an updated great small local hotel this is the place. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast exceeded expectations. The hotel is in the center of all night time action. Great dinning options and music all around.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, beautiful accommodations. My family of 5 loved our stay here! The rooftop pool was the best bonus for a midday respite.

Our guide really connected with our 3 girls and encouraged them to lead a bit of the tour. Julie played games with them, answered all of their many questions, let them try local candies, and shared local history and traditions with them in a way they really connected with.

Right on the main square and car access to rear. Very busy restaurant the two nights we were there but food is top-notch. Good room and comfortable bed. Staff was very friendly and accomadating.

Right in the historic center with a view of the cathedral. Can be a little noisy but staff was very helpful and friendly.

Part of the problem was out of their control: we had some rain and delayed leaving Hoorn due to track repairs. We only had 30 minutes at the last stop before returning to Hoorn. Very clean and well maintained antique train cars and engine.

Private boat with a very knowledgeable captain, great insights to the town and architecture.

Was hoping for a smaller boat.

This is a very well run operation for our group of 11 people from 2-70 years old. The rooms with the plunge pools were a big hit with the kids. Good range of off site and on site excursions and activities.

Our cultural exchange was very successful and enjoyable. It was the perfect follow-up to our overall cultural introduction tour to Kyoto, Tokayama, Kanazawa and Tokyo.

We really enjoyed our food tour in Shibuya and learning about the food culture of Tokyo.

We had limited time to tour Tokyo and our guide did the best he could. His English skill was limited, however, and we wished we had been warned not to eat very much for lunch in preparation our Shibuya Food Tour that evening.

Our American guide was very thorough and helpful for giving us a good experience in Kanazawa.

Shirakawa was a wonderful place and our driver/guide did a great job.

We enjoyed our day tour and lunch suggestion. It was very informative.

We enjoyed our interaction with geiko as well as the dinner.

Very well done and thorough.

Great location with direct access to shops, restaurants and subway

Very different experience with foot bath, dinner and breakfast in the room and sleeping on floor mats

Great location and ample breakfast variety

Excellent and knowledgeable guide. Interesting history

Felt rushed through the museum

Wonderful boat cruise and views of Mt Fuji

Driver was good..little English but we managed

Very good tour, knowledgeable guide and good pace.

Guide was great but the food not so much for me!

Very nice experience at a Sumo Stable! Wrestlers were engaging, entertaining and funny!

This hotel is a must visit. Perfect location, beautiful building with extremely nice rooms. We had all sorts of treats waiting for us in our room and the experience felt so personal. Breakfast was delicious and there was a very cool roof deck for sunset views.

perfect location, beautiful room, and great breakfast... Some of the reviews mentioned this hotel might be noisy due to the location but our family found it to be lovely and perfectly quiet.

Our guide Nasos made this whole excursion - he was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our family. He provided us with the perfect amount of historical and educational context as well as the locals perspective on our drive to Balos. He set us up for our beach time at Falassarna makgin sure we had everything we needed...I highly recommend!

Even though it was a little cloudy, this experience was well worth it! Our guide was so knowledgeable and had some great stories to share. We stopped in a small beach town for a quick dinner and it was lovely. The temple itself is amazing and we loved spending the sunset there.

Great education on both mythology and history. Our guide took her time climbing up to the Acropolis and the pace felt super manageable while keeping our 3 kids entertained and moving along.

Location was great. Comfortable accommodation. Breakfast was very good.

Beautiful location within walking distance of the national park entrance. The restaurant was amazing, service was great, accommodations very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Would visit again! We went toward a lot of museums and this was probably the favorite.

Off the beaten path! Not many international tourists! Lovely museum and sculpture garden! Bikes were a lot of fun and made the park accessible without a car!

Was very nice… a tour bus destination so I was glad we went toward the end of the day as they were leaving.

The museum in The Hague was very nice! Delft was really great - wish we had more time there.

The cheese farm and Zaanse Schans were a bit touristy but still worth seeing. We particularly liked the Hortus Bulborum!

Very busy but worth the effort.
