Kimkim Trip Reviews

The hotel was not very clean and the showers did not work very well.

The blue lagoon was an awesome experience. The water was so warm and refreshing. Its very comfortable in the water but can get super cold when out. Come handy with wet bags and swimsuit and change of clothes Lava restaurant was quite good. Definitely recommend going here if its your first time.

Troll expeditions was on time and Yohan was very friendly. Shared lots of tidbits about the country and place which was very interesting. The bus had wifi so was perfect. He made sure we had timely bathroom breaks, lunch and dinner. We were glad to find vegetarian options at every stop. Weather on day 1 wasnt great with rain and wind. So we went directly for glacier hiking with some stops based on weather. Glacier hiking and ice cave tour was great. Need to have good shoes, jacket, gloves, snow pants. Inspite of that we got wet and cold. Wish they would provide appropriate gear so its more pleasant experience. All our gear and shoes were completely wet and had to use hair dryer and paper to dry so we could use it next day. The guest house was basic but good food.

Had fantastic day with visit to multiple falls, glacier lagoon, diamond beach, black sand beach, church etc. Guide planned it well to make best use of the warm sunny day. We had ample time in each place to see and not feel rushed. Group was very friendly as well.

Golden circle tour was ok. The guide was little hard to comprehend and so tough to understand the information. Weather was not very cooperative either. Drive was comfortable. Falls were great. Geysers were nothing spectacular. We were eager to see the tectonic plates but again was hard to appreciate it completely without the guide info. Horse riding at Eldehaus farm was awesome. They provided all the right gear and ride itself was quite nice. My 9 year old enjoyed as well. The lunch was simple but good.

We were most excited about it. Supposedly, we had moderate chance of seeing northern lights but we couldn't due to lingering clouds. Pick up was little late but guide was very informative. He did try to going to few locations to try to spot but didn't work out. They provide hot chocolate and cookie which was good. They did offer a free tour at later time but since it was our last day we couldnt really use it.

We loved staying in the suite of Palm hotel Nice. We arrived late and we forgot to call them and update them, thinking they would have a 24 hour reception like we had in Paris. But when we arrived at 9pm, everything was locked. We called the hotel and the Nicola led us in via code and the receptionist was kind enough to leave keys for us , even without a proper check-in. Seeing we had kids traveling with us. The hotel was really in the prime location with everything walkable- cafes, restaurants, the beach. We absolutely loved our stay and we definitely will be coming back!!

We stayed here for 5 days herein Paris. It was conveniently located and was easily accessible to metro and the bus stops. Walkable to Montmarte area. Had so many good cafes and restaurants near. The suite was perfect for our family of four. They had an amazing breakfast included too and a 24 hour coffee and hot chocolate machine. We loved our stay in this cute little parisian hotel.

Chef Miriyam was such a joy to be around. The excitement she shared while talking about the farmed produces in France to the cheese to introducing to us the French culinary ( parisian style of cooking) was such an amazing experience. Our kids enjoyed how she explained everything. We loved her class and the hosting services she did. We loved Miriyam and miss her " AllieAllie" .

We missed going inside due to the strike that happened. But Eiffel tower from outside was beautiful:)

We visited a traditional French Bakery - Le grenier a pain. Meeting their owner, going into the bakery behind scenes- meeting the baker, patisserie chef and watching them making these baguette , bread and croissants. Cheese pudding etc. It was such a great experience knowing how much time and effort and the details they need to watch for. We got to try freshly baked bread and baguettes too. Our guide was really awesome too.

This was the highlight of pur Paris trip. We LOVED biking around Paris , just like the Parisiens do it. Our guide Tibou from Bluefox travel was the best we could ask for. He talked so much about the cities history and made it exciting for kids with asking them to spot things around while we stopped, talked about french history and made a photo stop on the iconoc points in Paris. He always watched for kids safety while we biked around. Can't thank enough. Thank you Tibou for making our biking ride so special for us.

Our tour guide Alexandra ( Family focus tour company) she was the best. She made this four hour tour so much enjoyable for kids. I mean if it was without a private tour we would have just got lost or kids would have got bored for sure. But Alexandra made sure from the garden tour to inside the palace she kept telling these stories in such a simplified way , that we all got so information about king Louis 14th to the French revolution, the interiors of the palace. I mean hands down Alexandra , she made sure the kids had a good time knowing about the palace.

It was a wonderful experience. Elle our tour guide walked us through outside of Notre Dame ( Notre Dame isn't yet open after the fire that happened in 2019 it is still under construction) but there's a virtual reality of how it will be just in front of it. Saint Chapelle was amazing . The interiors and the art work of the chappele. Just mind blown with the feel of it. Our tour guide took us around the Latin quarter and to floral markets around. It was a beautiful walk for two hours.

This was an audio guided tour. We were bown away by the art that we witnessed through our eyes. We enjoyed every bit of it.

Louvre experience was Outstanding and it was just because of our private guide Alexandra!! She just made our trip so fun, especially keeping the kids entertained as well as informative. It's a huge museum and it can be tiring for kids and adults. To be honest there's a lot of brain power that takes off in consuming all these majestic artworks. Alexandra picked out just the major and important attractions for us and had rhe kids solve a puzzle along the tour. We were blown away by the amount of knowledge she has and her passion to talk endlessly about the history and art of Louvre.

Just magical to see the city of love lit in the dark hours. Eiffle tower was so majestic . This is a must go ..to see Paris in the night felt so beautiful. J'adore Pareee.....

It was a beautiful one hour tour. Just make sure to be there like 15 - 30 minutes before the trip. They are very much strict on time. We missed it by two minutes on our first day because of lack of sleep. They didn't wait for us. But thanks to Amandine and kimkim they got it rescheduled for us :)

We loved this whole day trip. It was such a beautiful drive along the French Riviera. Our driver and guide Xavier was really really awesome. He told us so many things about Nice and how was it to live around there. We loved the perfume factory tour and The Antibes medieval village. The drive was amazing. We absolutely loved it!!

What a trip this was. To see the richness and granduer of Monte Carlo( Monaco) the monarchy, the churches. Just loved it. Thanks to Alex our driver and guide for walking us through the history and life around Monte Carlo. Fraganord perfumery tour at Eze was awesome too. Kids had a blast there knowing how the perfumes around the world are made from here. Loved this beautiful trip :)

This was an amazing culinary experience. The Nissean style of cooking. Which includes a lot of olive oil and veggies and meat with less cheese and butter unlike the Parisian culinary experience we had. We had a market visit and Rosa walked us through how she chooses her produces. She told us how the Italiian Mediterranean influence of Nice has made their culinary a different from.the Northern style of France. The menu was delicious. We had so much of fun experience with Rosa. Thanks to Kimkim for planning this for us .

Nice room, were able to see the Eiffel tower from our balcony; delicious food (petit dejeuner and dinner at the restaurant both amazing), good service overall

Nice location, able to walk to restaurants and shops nearby, clean, nice staff, good food

Nice location, nearby Palais des Popes, Saint Benezet bridge, close to restaurants and shops

Great pool, fantastic dining (do not miss out on a dinner reservation at L'Orangerie, very delicious, one of the best meals I had in France!), great location

Super helpful staff and awesome accommodations! Highly recommend!!

Really appreciated the filtered water in the thermal pools. Overall very relaxing atmosphere. Recently built within a historic building so the rooms are a bit small, but beautiful property. Hotel restaurant is delicious!! Staff were wonderful!!

Very warm and kind welcome.

Glad we went on a calm day! Saw dolphins and spent whales. The ride back was definitely an adventure!

All my hotels were modern with great breakfasts and in general superb. However I have to say this little place was truly charming with its interesting halls, nooks and crannies all beautifully decorated. Loved my tiny cozy room. Great place.

The rooms are very far away from the pool and restaurants with very steep hills. The transportation service is slow to respond for requests for rides. Views are great from the room but you can hear conversations in the rooms next door and below you. I would not stay here again

Loved walking to breakfast and dinner. Room was big and clean. Lots of birds to view especially from the hot springs area and hummingbirds from our room. Food was great.

A bit rushed and robotic but fun to fly over the trees

The reef is not like the pictures. It is a dead reef so the fish are few but did see two eels.

Our guide, Mau, made this a great trip.

Loved our guide and small group. Made it nice and quiet to hear the forest.

Way too many people in our group and other groups. Could here more humans than the night sounds.

We enjoyed our stay the beds were really hard that was my only complaint

This hotel was very awesome the staff and owner were so nice we really enjoyed our stay there

Wonderful experience very friendly staff Eric was our guide we really liked him

Enjoyed our stay there beautiful place and very comfortable loved the staff

This place was wonderful friendly staff beautiful views comfortable beds and nice rooms food was good too

Some of the staff was friendly the beds were very uncomfortable the eas a rooster outside window didn't get much sleep there

This is an amazing location. Right in the center of Split and it was extremely clean. We loved that it felt like we were staying in a castle with all the exposed stone. Our only complaint was that the bed was a little hard, but this is just a personal choice and understand everyone has their own preference when it comes to beds. Great location and host and would t hesitate to come back again.

This boutique hotel had amazing breakfast and the staff was extremely friendly. Our issue was that the AC in our room did not work and the staff didn’t know how to fix it. It was also a little farther from Kotors city center than expected. The beds were hard as well.

Best seafood ever!!

This was a really cool experience. If only all camping was this luxurious... The staff here was really kind and enthusiastic. The food was delicious.

The actual hotel and rooms were very nice, but nothing special in particular (especially when compared with some of the riads). However, it was clean and convenient. The restaurant on the 16th floor served a really impressive buffet dinner. The selection was excellent and everything was delicious. It was about $40 per person, which was more than we were expecting but there was nothing else open in the area because of Ramadan. Thankfully it was really good. We did not realize that the main floor also had a restaurant that I bet was also good and less expensive.

This was probably our favorite hotel during our trip. The combination of the character and the view over Chefchoauen made it so peaceful and serene. I would love to go back and stay there for a week or 2. The staff was excellent and the food (inexpensive dinner and the included breakfast) was really good.

Lovely Riad in Fes. Our rooms had beautiful stained glass windows in addition to the gorgeous decor. The included breakfast was very good.

This was a nice hotel. It felt much more like any other hotel outside of Morocco as it was significantly larger than the other places we stayed. The buffet dinner was really underwhelming and overpriced for the quality of the food. The included breakfast was good.

This hotel is really great. I'm only giving it 4 stars because the jacuzzi is really bad. It has mold on the ceiling and makes the whole common area smell bad. This was unfortunate because the pool area was otherwise really nice. This hotel has a fabulous rooftop terrace as well. The restaurant served us one of the best dinners we had, from the beautiful presentation of the meal to the delicious food. It was also very inexpensive. If they just drained and shut down the jacuzzi, this would be 5 stars.

This hotel was just recently completely redone and it is modern and beautiful with the classic character of the riads.

The hotel had a 'sandboard' for guests to use. It was a snowboard that was not waxed. Because of this, you did not slide down the hill. There was only one board, so if it had been working, we would not all have been able to go.

Ameena was amazing. She took us shopping in the souks for the vegetables for our chicken tagine. Her home was lovely and the instruction was great. The completed meal was delicious and I'm so glad we learned how to make chicken tagine!! It was a privilege to spend time in her home and to meet her family.

Ali was a member of the hotel camp staff, so he also sang with us in the evenings. He drove us into the desert and we had tea in a nomad tent. We had berber pizza and got to see a fair bit of Merzouga. The shops that we stopped at here did not feel as pressured as in Fes.

This was so much fun!! The Quads were high quality machines and we had a great time racing around the desert. Really a blast. The only hiccup was that we were a bit confused about when it was supposed to happen - nobody told us in the morning that we'd be doing it at the end of the day. It worked out just fine though.

This was pretty cool. We had the bath and scrubbing with the black soap. We then had time to relax followed by a massage. It was a busy place so it felt a bit like we were being moved through (because we were), but it did not feel rushed.

The mosque is beautiful. The tour is a larger group and our particular guide was a bit difficult to hear as the group was large. It felt a bit rushed, but was still very interesting and worth the time.

The room was a little small. The door to our room was extremely hard to lock and there was no hot water in the shower. There was only one very tiny trash can. There was no real lobby or gathering area. The location was good and I liked the quaintness of it. The beds were comfortable and the place was very clean and cozy. The front desk clerk was extremely friendly and hospitable.

The lobby of this hotel was very comfortable and welcoming and provided a nice gathering place that was also in close proximity to the bar area. The rooms were clean and the beds and linens were very clean and comfortable. The location was excellent in terms of proximity to shops and restaurants. Also the staff was very friendly and hospitable. This was my favorite hotel.

It was a clean and friendly hotel with a nice spacious room for a family of four. The bathroom shower was terrible, no shower panel so water everywhere and took forever to get hot and poor water pressure. This was a common theme in most accommodation we had in Morocco. The location was convenient for our driver to collect and drop us off, we didn't have to wander through the medina. Breakfast was lovely but a bit slow when we were in a hurry to leave for early for our tours. Also we found that all places served far too much so it seems such a waste when we couldn't eat it all.

It was a very unique place to stay. Not many guests staying the night we did so felt a bit eerie. The food was good and authentic but again far too much for us to eat. It was nice to be able to have some wine with dinner though!

This was the highlight of our trip, such a fabulous place to stay. Comfortable bests, hot showers and even wifi! The dinner and breakfast were delicious and the whole setup of the camp very cool. We took a camel ride to the camp and a 4 wheel drive back to our driver. Lots of fun!

A relatively big riad but down a dark alley so not the most inviting approach but I think most riads in Fes are like that. We had some problems with a banging noise one night next door but the hotel staff took care of it right away. Nice big bedroom suite for 4 but again the plumbing in the bathroom so old it look forever for hot water etc. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We didn't realize we had booked half-board so didn't have dinner at the hotel but the breakfasts were good (too much again) The coffee could have been stronger!

Lovely bright top floor rooms with views over the city but with all the windows it was noisy at night from people down in the street. Breakfast good and staff friendly. A small hotel with a pool and spa which we didn't have time to use.

Very nice hotel, typical 5 star with great facilities. Lovely art deco design and outdoor terrace bar.

This is a bit misleading unless you actually stay at the manor as billed. We stayed in what was basically some motor lodge-type rooms right on the main road. Room was okay the proprietors were nice enough, but I wouldn't call it a three-star location. Perhaps the actual Manor house is nicer

Unless you have a car do not stay here. It is not near anything, not that there is a ton in Blenheim anyway. We were stranded here for two days. Our included breakfast consisted of some fruit, yogurt, and 4 eggs that we had to make, ourselves and clean up all the dishes and that was it for two days. This place is nice, but in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do. Every day we would hear what sounded like a huge gun or cannon going off every few minutes starting in the early morning. Turns out it was grape harvesting time and the local growers literally had a gas cannon that they shot off to keep the birds away. This went on all day long at random intervals many times an hour. The proprietor was confused as to why we were even staying there considering we didn't have a car. We thought about trying to do some laundry as that was supposedly one of the perks only to find out that there was a washer but no dryer. We had to take taxis back and forth to town to eat which was costly and a pain because we were way in the back and could not tell when they were in the main driveway. Our pick up for transport to the train was not until late afternoon but the owner insisted that we check out by 10:30. With some back and forth with our travel people we got an early pickup but then had to sit around with our bags all day in town waiting for the train.

Staff was very professional and courteous, breakfast was very nice

Waste of time

Never got to go

Never got to go due to weather

This stop in Blenheim was a waste of two days

This was a lovely stop, loved the island and wineries. Everyone was wonderful including the driver who was nice enough to take us to one of the stops we missed because of the Ferry. The lunch at Three Seven Two was excellent one of the best meals on our trip

I enjoyed this more than I might of expected. The glow worms were quite interesting as was Hobbiton. Our driver was quite a character and kept us entertained on the long drive

This was an interesting excursion, but our guide was very rude to my wife at one point seemingly because he was trying to rush everyone through so he could get a sub-set of the group back by a particular time. Which made the experience less enjoyable for us as we had to dash from stop to stop. And as I said the treatment of my wife for trying to get a cup of coffee not knowing we had to leave right away because he was in a hurry, which was not communicated to us at all. Just set a very negative tone for the day for us

Great room, but service was non existent. Admittedly it was Easter but….NO breakfast, path to room was unwalkable with snow and ice. Nearly fell over several times. Called the number and simply got an answering service . Terrible

No northern lights….no-one to blame other than the clouds!
