Kimkim Trip Reviews

I only gave this 4 stars, because it lacked the authenticity and charm of the previous two hotels. Its a nice hotel for modern standards.

Met the owned and had a great conversation. It was like staying at an old friends home. The hotel had a historic feel yet clean and comfortable. Location was the best for the area, set next a iconic tourist attraction famous in the region.

Was a great location. Every day we would walk to our tours. The hotel was very responsive of our needs. Rooms were spacious and bright. Close to small stores for obtaining needed supplies, mostly water.

Ive only seen the prep and presentation like this in the movies, 5 stars. It was the perfect setting and experience to the end of our trip.

Loved the history of the potters family. I enjoyed again the interaction the people.

So much ancient history in this region. Wonderful learning experience.

Ever enjoyable.

I loved it. The chef hosted this in her home and she allowed me in the kitchen I tell you this because my wife won't. Again eat way to much. We really appreciated Schbnem he guide and Mustuf getting enjoy this a well. It felt like family having a Sunday dinner where everyone is involved.

I learned that what i knew about this was completly wrong. Thank God for Schbnem and her knowledge. I feel more informed with a better understanding.

I've been in a hot air balloon before, but what made it great was how they dipped into the valley at tree top level. As I was video taping it reminded me of drone footage, but personal. The ballon operator was great.

I bought a picture over 20 years previous to this trip. Spent 3 hours in this little shop talking with the owner and he explained the whirling Dirvish to me and getting to experience live brought that time speaking with the shopkeeper back to life. Truly enjoyed the experience.

I kept finding the history every unique and flashing to the American southwest Indian trips and how they used the valleys for protection and building their communities. Same security concept, but different way to leverage the land and building materials.

It was amazing that you you could see the continents of Asia and Europe in the straight. The appreciation of the boat trip was delightfull.

Was kind of disappointed in the grand blizzar, felt more like a shopping mall. However; once in a shop, the people made the experience enjoyable and authentic.

The food was everything I remember from my previous trips to other parts of Turky. I love the food!!

Very enlightening. I found the guides information very helpful. It helped me gather details that were lacking from my own research. It also provided ensight to the important this region played in world history.

The location of this hotel could not have been any better! It was a short walk to Diocletian's palace, and also, there is a laundromat within a three minute walk! The hotel is super comfortable, the staff are delightful and helpful, the breakfast was delicious. It is a very inviting place!

Out of all of the places we stayed, I think the zrinka house was my favorite! Barbara is one of the most delightful people I have ever met! She is so kind and we had a great time visiting with her. She is also a fabulous cook who doesn't let you leave her house without a sack of goodies! The house is absolutely gorgeous, so many details make it so beautiful yet very personal.

We absolutely loved this hotel.It is a refurbished bishop's palace. It is gorgeous! The location is perfect, the staff are welcoming, and the breakfast is delicious. We loved the secret garden.We went out each night and sat on the patio. It was so relaxing. You are a short walk from the beaches and the Riverwalk.

We were so lucky to have stayed in this tourist farm. The owner is delightful and is a wonderful cook! She also did our laundry! The location is up in the mountains and it is absolutely stunning. The rooms are comfortable, clean and fairly large.

Another fabulous hotel in a perfect location! It's a very short walk to the square fill of fights anc restaurants. The staff are so welcoming, the breakfast is delicious, and the rooms are comfortable. What more could you want?

We loved the old world vibe of this hotel! i felt like I should be sharing a cocktail with F. Scott Fitzgerald.! The location is perfect! very close to so many sites and restaurants. The staff are terrific, the breakfast is amazing, the rooms are super clean and comfortable.

The hotel was in walking distance to all the major sites and beach! So cool

Great hotel! Breakfast was great and the staff was helpful. Rooms were nice and AC worked great.

Love the tour and tour guide - Taka!

Great tour! Loved the pace, the food and Jun was great - helpful, great English, accommodating and thoughtful.

The tour guide, Sophia Kim, was amazing! I can't recommend this tour more!!! She is full of knowledge, very accommodating and just a delight! I would not hesitate to book with her again! This tour was the highlight of my son's trip!

It was canceled due to fog.

Wow, think we had one of the best views in the hotel overlooking the Acropolis

Absolutely loved this hotel, beautifully decorated. Our room was a really lovely size with lots of storage and a balcony overlooking the harbour and pool.

We loved it here, totally my vibe. Not too far away from the Acropolis. Staff were lovely too

What a great tour guide, took us to exactly where we wanted to go and didn’t give us a time limit when we stopped at locations. He also gave us the choice of where we wanted to stop at the beach giving us lots of options of where to go.

Great hosts. Offered drinks and snacks through out our time on board. The lunch that was made for us was amazing.

Elena was the perfect tour guide, such a lovely human being and so knowledgeable about the history of Greece. We really enjoyed our time with Elena.

The hotel was great. The breakfast needs to be improved. Customer service was great. The shower was leaking and they resolved it immediately. They also recommended places to eat.

This was an amazing exhilarating ride! We had a high quality UTV which took us to gorgeous views and didn’t see another soul for the whole 4 hour trip. Our guide Micah was terrific.

Loved it. Great location

Hotel was great. Beautiful space. They were delayed on check in. A bit far from things

Very clean, loved the room, a bit far from things though

Loved this space, the traditional style, and location. Breakfast wasn't my favorite.

We got sent to the wrong location. the guide was rushed. He didn't seem that interested.

Loved it. However, our guide could have been a bit better.

It was good. However, it felt like it was lacking and a bit quick.

We loved this tour guide. It rained all day, but it didn't affect our day. She pushed through and so did we.

What an amazing couple. We felt welcomed and stayed after to chat. They recommended some great places/.

Masa listened and gave us the best experience. He was patient and we enjoyed the day with him

We had the best food and the guide was informative.

Had the best time with Lisa. Got to feel what it was like to be a local. She was super fun. The tour was tailored for us.

Driver was awesome. He was punctual and it was a smooth drive.

The hotel is on a a very touristy street and can be noisy at night with everyone out eating etc.

Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff.

 We misunderstood the day. We thought that the driver was the guide, and we would leave the hotel in the morning makes the stops and then head back to Paris. After we toured, we then went back and hour to the hotel to be picked up by a driver to drive to Paris. It was a long drive to Paris due to traffic. Once we read your description of the day, we realized we were wrong. It was a long day with lots of driving.  The Calvados distillery we were supposed to go to was not open. Gwen found a place for us to taste 2 spirits. We did not walk through any orchards.  Cheese Tasting – We were supposed to go to a cheese tasting and see how the cheese was manufactured. That was also closed. Gwen quickly pivoted and found a place for us to sit down for a cheese and cider tasting. This was a great lunch with cheeses, meats and cider.  Honfleur – we were on our own walking through the town because Gwen could not find a place to park. We had 45 minutes to walk around Honfleur.  Since this was a Sunday we should have planned something different to do since many things were closed.

Amazing structure and history.

Wish we had spent 2 days at the D-Day beaches. We only had time for the American beaches.

Driver was on time and very nice.

Beautiful gardens. We arrived right before our entrance time so we did not have to wait long.

Fun evening!

 Architecture & Art Nouveau tour – Solene was our weakest guide and our weakest tour. We spent a fair amount of time sitting getting a drink at the French brasserie. The group had to be divided in half to walk around and see the mosaics. We went to the Galeries of Lafayette and Printemps and that is where the tour ended. We had to make it to the roof top ourselves for the view of the city. We did not go to the Art Nouveau-inspired bank. I assume this is because getting drinks took so much time.

Laure was a good tour guide. Our stops were:  Jams and Jelly Store  Olive oil and Balsamic vinegar store  Picked up pastries for later  Corner restaurant where we sat on stools outside. We could order 10 dishes to share.  Cheese tasting was in the basement of a cheese shop. We had red and white wine, but it wasn’t a wine tasting.

It was great to have a ticket for the top of the Eiffel Tower.

It was very hot and they only put the canopy over one side of the sitting area so there was no place to get out of the sun.

This place is so stylish and modern—very nice! It has a great little bar to unwind. If you’re traveling with a larger group, it’s a good idea to book the same type of rooms so they can be put next to each other. The whole property is broken up into a few different buildings. Some only having 4 rooms. We had a standard room and one with a bit more flair, but they were in different buildings. With kids needing to split up, that was a bit of a challenge. However, the hotel staff were incredibly helpful and found the best solution for us. I’d definitely choose to stay here again.

We all felt right at home here! The rooms are designed with singles and couples in mind, much like a hostel, but it was perfect for our short stay. We had our own space in the building, which was just what we needed. Plus, there was a playground for the kids and horses to see right on the property. The place was spotless and well-kept. They do offer a small breakfast, but it’s enough to keep you going until lunch. If you need groceries or restaurants, you’re about a 15-20 minute drive from the main town.

We had an amazing time staying here! The farmhouse was perfect for all six of us. The restaurant served some of the best food we’ve ever tasted in Iceland. The kids absolutely loved the little playground with the bouncy inflatable. And the thermo spa was a real treat. The farmhouse had everything we needed for a long stay, and we wish we could have stayed longer.

This apartment was a lovely one block from Reykjavik’s main street. Finding it took a few turns, as GPS can be a bit off. Plus, it’s on a one-way street, so if you miss it, you’ll have to loop around. There’s parking, but it can be a bit cramped, especially if you have a larger vehicle like we did. A smaller car would work just fine. The apartment had quite a few stairs, which is okay if you’re staying for a few nights. However, carrying big, heavy suitcases up the stairs for just one night can be a bit of a hassle. There’s plenty of room for the six of us. I definitely recommend it for a longer stay in Reykjavik, but it might not be the best choice for a quick visit.

This was a decent experience. It’s a larger boat, which means more people crowding the rails to grab a glimpse, but that’s okay, used to those types of tours. However, because it’s bigger, the boat can’t get too close to the shore to see the puffins. You really need binoculars to get a good look. They are very small. Little white dots on the shore line. The boat does provide binoculars, but there is a limited supply. Unless you’re a serious bird watcher and enthusiast, I’d probably pass on this tour. It's Iceland, so many other things to see. The boat was clean, and the crew members were friendly and knowledgeable.

This was a nice hotel tucked away in a quite part of town. It was perfect for our visit to Venice. Breakfast was good. The room was clean and comfortable.

We enjoyed this hotel. It was in a great location. The room was sizeable and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. We were not expecting the public transportation ticket that came with the room. This came in very handy and we used public transportation for 2 days with ease. It was a super perk.

This hotel was very unique and reminded us of Ikea with the more modern style. The room was large and clean and the shower was great. Breakfast was very good.

We enjoyed this hotel. It was close to the main train station for easy access. We didn't realize the room bar was included until arrival but it included only 1 beer and some water and juice - not really a great perk... The room was sizeable, clean, breakfast was really good, the shower was nice.

We really liked this hotel. We were not aware before hand that you have to enter a hallway to access the hotel. When we arrived we entered the hallway and someone came and closed the large doors behind us. It was a little scary for a moment until we found a stair case leading up to the hotel and were greeted by hotel staff. The room was comfortable and large and the shower was excellent!

Our guide was excellent and knowledgeable. We were able to enter the Basilica and Palace and the guide added valuable information to the experience.

This was a fun experience. The explanation and directions of where to go were lacking some details. The experience was in the upper most floor of a building that had to be accessed by ringing the doorbell. While we figured this out easy enough it would have been easier to have that information up front. The cooking class was fun and the chef was fun and interesting.

This was a fun tour of the old town of Bolzano and to learn about some of the history and the food. The guide was excellent and was local so took us to very unique and great stops on the tour.

Our guide was excellent and we enjoyed walking through Verona. The tour did not include many entries so be aware of the fact that you will just be walking by most of the sites. This was fine for us since our time in the city was short.

The tour was a quick overview of the sights in Milan. It did not include any entries and that was a bit disappointing but okay for the time we had to spend in the city.

Very nice hotel - clean and comfortable. Located about a 15 minute walk from old town, and quite close to La Concha beach. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice place to stay in San Sebastien, and a bit away from the crowds.

The location is beautiful - the view from our room of the wine region was stunning. However, be aware that it is not in town - a taxi to Logrono is about 20 minutes and about 25 euros each way. The rooms are odd - modular and modernistic, but clean and comfortable. They have a nice spa, the breakfast was very good (made-to-order eggs, and a buffet of cold items), and the one dinner we had there was very good. A nice choice if you would rather be in a more isolated location.

Comfortable rooms, very well-located (easy walking distance to the Guggenheim, but also to the downtown pintxo bars and right by the funicular). Very nice place to stay.

A wonderful trip for the day to the French Basque region. We saw Biarritz, Bayonne, and Saint Jean de Luz. Had a wonderful lunch in Bayonne, and did some shopping in Saint Jean de Luz. Very enjoyable day, and an opportunity to briefly experience the French side.

Great to have a free day in San Sebastien. Plenty to see and do. We didn't spend the day at the beaches, but did end up walking along 2 out of 3 local beaches. We also did a really nice walk up to the Christ statue, with some beautiful views of the city. We also saw some of the cathedrals, and had lunch in old town. Nice day.

Wonderful, fun day! The guide was outstanding. Interesting to experience and learn about the running of the bulls, outside of the season.

Great hike! Our guide was excellent. If you want to get outdoors and get some exercise, and want to experience a very small portion of the Camino, this was a great way to go!

Another great pintxo experience, this time in San Sebastien. Our guide also included jamon tasting (which was great!) AND dessert. Fun evening.

This trip was a great idea, and overall really fun and a great way to go wine-tasting in the region. It was extremely hot the day we went (which of course is not kimkim's fault!). However, the trip turned out to be MUCH longer than we thought or had planned for, which got difficult at the end. We're still very glad we did it - the landscape is gorgeous and the winery visits were wonderful!

Didn't work out so well, because literally everything on this walk was closed. However, later in the evening, we did have a really fun pintxo tour of Calle Laurel in Logrono!

This was great, and probably a bit more unusual of an excursion. Very enjoyable.

We appreciated having free time to wander around Bilbao.

1 -hour private tour of the Guggenheim. Guide was from the museum. Terrific overview and information. Afterwards, we had as much time as we wanted to wander around.

Excellent - great intro to Pintxos!
