Kimkim Trip Reviews

Very nice accommodation and location. The breakfast was very good and ranged from local Ecuadorian cuisine as well as as what is commonly considered 'Continental Breakfast' options for tourist who may shy away from local food.

Very nice accommodation and location near Ave. Charles Darwin, which is the primary road for very good restaurants, shopping, etc. The breakfast was very good and ranged from local Ecuadorian cuisine as well as as what is commonly considered 'Continental Breakfast' options for tourist who may shy away from local food.

Nice accommodation and located oceanside, which was great! The breakfast was good, albeit a smaller selection, of local Ecuadorian cuisine and what is commonly considered 'Continental Breakfast' options for tourist who may shy away from local food. Just FYI for travelers, is that Puerto Villamil is definitely a smaller, less developed town.

Beautiful room. Very convenient to everything. Very walkable to most attractions and close the bridge.

Beautiful location. Great view of the mountains from the large room. Loved the patio. It was really expensive tho, the restaurant was sooo expensive and not that good honestly. The fondue was not something I would redo.

Beautiful historic hotel. The room was big and had nice furnishings. Really close to the amenities.

Weird room. Had a shower with glass walls that looked into the bedroom. Kinda like being on TV display for anyone in the bedroom or other parts of the room. The air conditioning did not work well. Nice to have coffee and tea available in the room. Had a nice area with a desk. It was quite a walk from the train station. We took a hotel van to the airport to avoid that walk again. We were not told the hotel "shuttle" would cost us $80, and were surprised to find that out at the airport by the driver who asked us to pay him.

Absolutely loved this adventure. It was perfect. Beautiful, fun and engaging. Our guide, George, was perfect.

This was a great tour! We really enjoyed the beautiful lake. The guides were fun and engaging. We were provided wetsuits to wear over our shorts. The water was COLD! It was September and perfect weather, but the water is fed from a glacier so.... At first I had no intention of getting in the water, but I am sooo glad I did. I mean, when are you giong to be able to do this again!

This was a beautiful train ride. The train car was comfortable and we could see everything well. We were happy to have the priority boarding tickets as there were lots of people clamoring to get the best seats. The train stopped along the way so you could get off and check things out then continue.

This is a MUST HAVE! Worked perfectly. We were able to get on any train, bus or boat with this pass. We only had to show our pass a few times. We took trains in Italy and had to be on time for the train we paid for. Very stressful. This Swiss Pass allowed for you to take whatever train fit your schedule. So if you missed one train, simply wait for the next one. It was GREAT to have the pass in our KimKim app. So convenient and easy. The trains are very punctual. We had one train that needed to have some kind of repair and we had to change trains only one time.

This was neat, but not a must-do. The little gondola was super cute and it was fun to be out there all by ourselves in the little thing. The fondue was just okay. Staff was slow to provide service.

Wow! What a view and to be INSIDE a glacier was amazing!

Super fun experience. We loved being the only ones on the tour. The guide was great and very knowledgeable local.

Handsomely appointed hotel in a restored 18th-century baroque estate with gardens, pool and sauna and two splendid restaurants, one formal, one rustic, located several km from the center of Zweibrücken. Generously sized rooms, exquisite service.

For me, the Alsatian Wine Tour was a delight. I knew very little about Alsatian wines, and left the area with a new appreciation of their variety. The hosts at our two vineyards were informative and eager to answer all our questions. Both afternoons were a highlight for our entire group, which ranged from wine snobs to those who know what they like but have little background in wine culture. We all learned from and loved this experience.

Great fun driving through the countryside, trying to find traces of ancestors who lived in these villages more than 200 years ago. First organized by Napoleon, the civil registration records for births, marriages and deaths, now scanned and available at websites of the regional archives, offered just enough breadcrumbs to follow our ancestors as they grew their families and struggled to make a living in 19th-century France. Talk to a genealogist to get started.

This place was fantastic! Very clean. Awesome buffet breakfast.

Beautiful and spacious suite!

This is a very nice place to stay. The location was perfect and pretty much everything was within walking distance.

We are glad we got to see Alberobello and Ostuni. Our driver, Salvatore, was excellent and even called a restaurant to let them know we were coming for lunch. We loved the restaurant he recommended.

We loved this experience! Our guide, Davide, was awesome and very knowledgeable about the area. We were happy we got to see Monopoli on this tour. We stopped at a farm for lunch where they make mozzarella. It was fantastic!

We absolutely loved this day and highly recommend it! I am not a history buff, but was just amazed with Pompeii. The grounds at the winery were stunning and the staff couldn't have been better.

Great location, clean, hospitable staff

The only thing that wasn’t up to par was the restaurant. Service was majorly slow and the food one we got it was not good.

Can’t even describe the power of the falls. Incredible experience!

Very comfortable and situated in a walkable area to the downtown, to the stores and restaurants.

A wonderful stay, enjoyed our apartments, lots of character. Loved the gardens. We had access to the garden from our room.

A beautiful and historical bed and breakfast. A castle with 9 rooms., beautiful grounds, close by to the downtown of shops and restaurants.

The hotel was gorgeous! The room was so beautiful and the lobby and restaurants were delicious. Downside is the pool was closed.

Eats island excursions was great. We had a ton of fun snorkeling and swimming in the water.

I was terrified to do the hike and jump off the cliffs but our tour guide Luis was so kind and supportive. He took lots of pictures to airdrop to me. We got to swim in a beautiful fresh water area of the rainforest- what a dream!

The Mövenpick Petra Resort is a very good hotel, with its location right by the entrance to Petra. The rooms are comfortable, the food is excellent, and it’s an ideal base for exploring this incredible historical site. The only downside is that drinks are quite expensive, but overall, it’s a great choice and well worth considering for a stay in Petra.

We stayed one night at the Memories Aicha Luxury Camp in Wadi Rum. The camp features lovely glass pods where you can lie in bed and watch the stars at night. The staff were great and very knowledgeable about the local culture and environment. The jeep ride and desert experience were unforgettable, with wild camels, Arabian wolf tracks, and a beautiful sunset with tea by the campfire. I wish we had stayed longer to fully enjoy the desert.

We stayed at the Double Tree by Hilton in Aqaba, which was perfectly located in the center of town near dive shops and restaurants. Aqaba itself felt like an Arabian holiday resort, bustling with Saudi Arabian tourists. The hotel was convenient for exploring the town and enjoying local delicacies like Manzaff.

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Dead Sea Resort & Spa for one night. The building itself was magnificent, but our room was not very clean and had maintenance issues like broken light fittings and poor air conditioning. The food at the Lebanese restaurant was disappointing and even upset our stomachs. The service was lacking, especially with basic requests like making a milkshake. Also, the resort has many steps down to the Dead Sea, which can be difficult for those with mobility issues, and transportation back up is not well organized. Overall, it was a bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the trip.

We stayed four nights at the Crowne Plaza Amman, which was an excellent hotel. It was very friendly, safe, and had good English-speaking staff. The hotel was of very good quality and not that expensive for Amman. I would thoroughly recommend it as a base for exploring the city.

The trip to the northern part of Jordan, included Umm Qais, Jarash, and Ajloun castle, was fascinating. The castle was well preserved and the views from Umm Qais were amazing, allowing us to see Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. The exploration of Roman and Byzantine ruins and Crusader sites gave a rich historical perspective.

Visiting Mount Nebo and Madaba was a highlight. Mount Nebo offered stunning views of the Jordan Valley and Jerusalem in the distance, and Madaba is famous for its beautiful Byzantine mosaics, especially the medieval mosaic map of the Holy Land in Saint George's Church. It was a deeply historical and cultural experience.

The full-day tour of Petra was phenomenal. Walking through the Siq to the Treasury and exploring the necropolis and main town with a local guide was a highlight of the trip. The guide provided great insights, and the Byzantine church mosaics were incredibly well preserved and a must-see. The Petra museum was also very well laid out and informative. I highly recommend visiting Petra and its museum.

Visiting Little Petra (Beidha) was fascinating. It is a smaller version of Petra with its own Siq and unique Nabatean frescoes, which you don't see elsewhere in Petra. It adds a lot to the overall understanding of the region's history and culture, so I definitely recommend it.

What a way to enjoy the peace and serenity of the desert than from camel back. Our camels were lovely and were obviously loved and cared for well by our guide, Abdulla.

Visiting the baptism site of Bethany was interesting with lots of historical significance and ancient churches. Seeing the Jordan River and the surrounding area was quite moving, regardless of personal beliefs.

After a tour of Amman’s Roman and Byzantine ruins, we were taken west to three Desert Castles. We spent the first half of the day exploring the Amman Citadel and its fascinating history, followed by a half-day tour of the Desert Castles. Our guide, Ahmed, was very knowledgeable and respectful, providing plenty of background information without being intrusive and allowing us time to explore the sites at our own pace. Both tours offered a wonderful introduction to Jordan’s rich history and culture and made for a fantastic day.

Hit or miss..bfast was fair. Lol on rooftop was fabulous but jacuzzi was not got and it was dirty. The water isn't drinkable like all of HK, and they don't provide water bottles, you have to come to the front desk to purchase them. But the location on the water is beautiful and the staff especially the concierge staff were very very helpful.

Over the top amazing. Free use of what's and dryers with staff to help out, lots of free water bottles, a huge luxurious breakfast buffet .

Favorite hotel of the entire trip! Beautiful, well appointed, warm pool, nice gym, great location, friendly staff. Laundry is a bit expensive but worth it - and they returned clean clothes just a few hours after picking them up.

Such a beautiful spot. We woke up with some birds and monkeys chatting about but it was deliciously appropriate! Our view out of our room was amazing-- will be painting that scene in the days to come. We were celebrating birthday and the owner made us the MOST delicious chocolate banana cake and I can't describe how good it was.

We loved this hotel! The grounds are so so lovely with sooooo many birds and beautiful flowers and plants! And tree frogs! And the beach with the turtle nests! The pool was divine and was a welcome dip during the day and at night. We were there in October and the temperature couldn't have been more perfect. The food was super good (gallo pinto superb) with yummy pineapple and papaya. The pina coladas also tops!! Our river cruise through the Tortugeuero Canals was otherworldy with our funny and sassy guide Miguel. We were very entertained.

Stay here! This hotel is an incredible experience. It is literally sleeping in the jungle but with beautiful sheets and a lovely shower and a deck to listen to the birds and monkeys. The beach with bar service is RIGHT there and the restaurant is good and friendly with a pool table to boot. I only with we had another day there!! On the trail surrounding the property we saw armadillos, agoutis, spider monkeys, and howler monkeys-- they are all nutty nutty! The staff is excellent-- we had an early flight and they prepared a breakfast box for us!

Soooooo fun!!!!! The time (3 + hours) was perfect. Not too long, not too short.

Miguel was a superb guide. And our boat captain had the eagle eye! How he spotted the birds in the sea of green leaves was amazing! I really love and admire how knowledgable the people who took us on our excursions were about the animals and plants and history of Costa Rica.

Pedro was a perfect guide! So funny and knowledgeable and happy to share everything and anything about the culture and history of Costa Rica!

We enjoyed this city tour. We learned a lot about Porto's history.

This was a great day! The Douro Valley is beautiful. We enjoyed our wine tasting experience.

This was a great day! The lunch was delicious. And after lunch we enjoyed having our personal wine with regular and port wines.

We enjoyed the tour of the winery. I knew nothing about port wine and enjoyed the wine tasting along with the cheese board we had with it.

We weren't really sure if we would enjoy this but I'm glad we went. The food was fine. Not the best but not bad either. I enjoyed watching and listening to the music.

The location and view from our patio made this one of our favorite hotels.

The grandest hotel we’ve ever stayed in!

A lot of tour groups seemed to be staying here. Our room was adjacent to the breakfast room so a bit noisy

Extremely helpful in exploring all 5 villages.

The views of the villages from the water, swimming in the Med, and lots of Prosecco made this memorable

This was the shortest of all our transfers and we didn’t have much time to interact with the driver.

Dated and not particularly convenient to China Town. Breakfast was limited compared to there hotels we stayed at.

Good location near activites and restaurants.

Convenient location to city center and restauants.

Nice hotel, a bit dated. Excellent staff. Located fairly close to local focal points.

A lot of driving for only one night. SHould have at least two nights.

Well located but again, a little dated. Rooms bare and small.

Awesome guide, very personable and knowledgable.

Very pleasant experience with lovely family.

Interesting tour but not worth the drive to get there.

Great guide and awesome experience.

Fun experience suitable for everyone.

Amazing experience at the temple. Also did the Thai cooking class which was excellent.

Great experience, beautiful.

Hotel was average. Everyone was VERY nice and accommodating.

Walkable to town. Nice outdoor area. Wish we would have had our own balcony.

Depending on your room; it could be a hike! The staff were very nice. The room was clean and comfortable with a nice outdoor area.

The guide was good but not as thorough as some. The tour lacked luster in some areas. The winery was phenomenal But, all in all a good excursion and I would do it again.

Great experience and a must-do! Met great people and the food and wine were fabulous! We didn’t get to see much of the sunset because of clouds - but, seeing Santorini from the ocean was phenomenal.

This is a must do. I would have preferred to do at the beginning of the trip.

This tour was around 10 hours so be prepared. Our driver was wonderful. He explained the culture and history so well! I’m so glad we went

Such a great excursion to learn about the island of Mykonos. You do not want to drive in Mykonos and this tour will take you everywhere you need to go!

I can’t say enough good things about this cooking class! I learned so much! My husband even enjoyed it! We made spinach pie, stuffed tomatoes, tzatziki and had lots of wine!

Danny our driver and guide was the highlight

We had a delightful driver for this day long trip. He was very knowledgeable, as was our guide at the temple of Apollo and museum. Highly recommend!

Our guide, Athena, was very knowledgeable. She had a good pace for our tour and managed to find shady spots for her discussions! She was delightful and we learned so much. Highly recommend her services.

Our guide, Christina, was very knowledgeable. She had took us all around southern part of Sifnos. The village of Kastro is not to be missed! The pottery studio tour was a nice stop too. She was delightful and we learned so much. Highly recommend her services.

Our guide, Fotis, was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories of growing up in Greece. The tour was small & well paced. We were able to try so many different Greek specialties that none of us needed dinner later! He was a delightful guide with an easy manner, we learned so much. Highly recommend his services.
