Kimkim Trip Reviews

Perfect location in the heart of the old town of Split. Fantastic breakfast each day. Comfortable room. Friendly staff.

Beautiful views. Wonderful amenities, including pools, spa and saunas. Waterfront walking path accessible to beaches and restaurants.

Enjoyed our tour with Salvador. He is extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

Ivana knows Krka like the back of her hand. Also enjoyed learning about her family and Croatian culture

Another fun day seeing the sights and immersing in history with Ivana

Our guide, Ivana, was fantastic. With a background in archeology, and having grown up in the old town, she offered a unique perspective. She openly discussed her experiences as a child during the siege of Dubrovnik.

Great tour with Alan. He was knowledgeable and his love of Mostar was apparent. Made a great restaurant recommendation at the end. Very interesting and informative

Great location very helpful friendly staff

Nice place, staff was very friendly and helpful. It is outside Mendoza.

This was just an overnight stay

Frenando and driver was great very informative and did some tailoring to our interests

We had already had done some higher end tasting of food before the tour. The best part was a bit of walking and best was visiting with the guide and sharing her story

This was fun experience and the lunch was nice. This a packaged selection of wineries

This was true highlight.

We did this on the first evening and it was great.

This hotel exceeded our expectations. The location was quiet and intimate. The hotel was so lovely. Every large space as well as the rooms the breakfasts were incredible and the staff so accommodating. Each nite for 45 minutes , we had a Spanish guitarist and could enjoy a glass of wine. Beds and towels also luxurious.

Initially, when we walked into this hotel we felt a bit if disappointment it wasn’t as updated as to style as what we’ve experienced. It looked a bit work. But we learned as time went on. . The location was fabulous. In the barrier des Lettres, far more intimate and interesting than most if Madrid. The breakfasts had much to offer but only moderately good as to quality. The rooms were comfortable and the showers very good. Staff- lovely. We ended up feeling glad we had stayed there!

We loved this portion of our trip… both the visits and our guide. Sentinel is a must to see and experience. Zahara had a film being shot there which was fun and Ronda. Had a Michelin lunch( due to Carlis’ expertise) over looking the gorge.

Ten great hours. Cadiz lovely to walk the town and visit Mercado. Onto Jerez for the equestrian show which was brilliant. Fabulous lunch at Alcala, another Michelin. Also sherry tasting at Lustau. A great day.

So glad we booked it for evening. I’ve seen flamenco, but the man was a superstar. Really enjoyed.

The Mosque is truly spectacular and our guide Carlos, had a dear friend who gave us a private tour. A true wonder. Only problem was the time of year the town was PACKED with tourists like us and it was very hot. Glad to have seen the Jewish quarter and its history.

The Grand Hotel des Templiers in Reims was quaint and a bit removed from the city center, but manageable. It was clean and nice, and overall, it was fine for our stay.

The Hotel de France in Beaune was disappointing. The mattress in our first room was bad, and we had to be moved immediately. The room was very small and on the fourth floor. While it was clean and not too far from activity, it was not close to the fun parts of the city. Overall, it was a pretty poor experience.

The Hôtel Le Mireille in Paris was better than the hotel in Beaune but still not ideal. The location was not where we wanted to be, and in retrospect, we should have chosen a hotel closer to the main attractions. The hotel itself was okay, but the location was a downside.

The excursion in the world of Champagne was really good. We had great guides and visited some excellent places. The timing was just right for our trip, and overall, we were very pleased with the experience.

The guided visit of Beaune and the Hospices de Beaune was very good. We loved the places we visited and thought it was a nice range of locations. The whole experience was very enjoyable.

The self-guided visit of the Eiffel Tower was fine. By the time we got to Paris, I was a bit indifferent about doing it, but my companion wanted to, so we went ahead. The tickets and access went smoothly, and I have no complaints, but it wasn't a highlight for me.

The baking classes were fantastic. We had great instructors and a wonderful experience. The people in the class were fun, and it was definitely one of the high points of the trip.

The full-day excursion to the D-Day beaches was terrific. Although I was initially hesitant about the drive, it turned out to be just the right amount of time and a very worthwhile experience.

So nice- James was excellent guide

James was great guide and tour was great

Jorgé was great guide and even provided umbrellas for the rainy day. Trip was beautiful!

Carlos was great with a wealth of history knowledge

Tour was fun and food was great

Wonderful location and staff with a great breakfast . Rooms are simple but very comfortable with everything we needed.

A great place to eat and wonderful staff; however, I would not recommend staying in the basement level. The kitchen is there and the music was very loud. Rooms are tiny but well done.

Wonderful stay - large, comfortable rooms, very pretty hotel. Nice pool and hot tub as well.

The house itself has a beautiful view of the loch. The rooms leave a lot to be desired. They are tiny. If there are two of you each with a suitcase, be prepared to struggle to find floor space for them. The shower is narrow, almost impossible to wash your hair without hitting your arms on the sides, one hand towel, minimal amenities. There is little to no soundproofing and it's like staying in someone's house, so you hear everything. The main room shown in the picture is beautiful but very small so if more than a couple of people want to use it, it's a bit awkward. The hotel is also very far from town, on challenging roads. There is nowhere to walk there for exercise.

Wonderful staff and well appointed rooms; food was great and the bed was comfortable. We appreciated having minifridge as well and used the hot tub which was spotless and well maintained. It is not right downtown but there are things around the Inn to do.

Very beautiful location and great staff. Comfortable rooms, well appointed.

Trevor was amazing - the best day of our entire trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with us, and worked with us to give us the best day. He thought of everything, including bringing us hot tea, towels, snacks, raincoats - you name it. Wish we had Trevor with us on the rest of the trip!

Perfectly paced trip - our guide was incredibly knowledgeable (and patient) with all of our questions.

Beautiful views and hilarious guides on the trip.

This was sold as a sunset cruise, but it was at 3:30 so there wasn't much of a sunset. You are gone for 1 hour and it's a very cursory view of the lake. The boat was very nice and the information was good to know.

Awesome room at the end of the hall on the 15th floor with panoramic view !

Beautiful drive to get here. Great views. Wonderful staff.

Loved this hotel. Great sunset, great food-wonderful kitty!

Cute cabin rooms. Wonderful food and staff.

Got to see the N. L's from this cabin. Cozy and great amenities. Owner was very nice. First place we stayed in Iceland that we didn't roast all night.

Awesome views! Breakfast and dinner here were fantastic! midges were a problem in the parking lot, but no where in the hotel. We even had our patio door open for a while, and no issues.

Downtown, no parking. We stayed here 2 nights. First room was very small, second night was huge. It was loud due to being in the city. We got spoiled by the quiet of the country. It is central to everything and very walkable. Breakfast is very plain.

Our guide Magni was great! Very sad to see where the glacier was just 2 years prior and where it is today.

Guides were great, wish we had more time on the horses.

Once in a lifetime!

We followed a humpback and Minkie whale.

sadly the winds were really high the day we were scheduled, so our activity got cancelled the day before.

Great location and rooftop view. Staff was excellent.

Great location, excellent and knowledgeable staff.

Excellent and the hosts were very helpful in restaurant choices.

The owner was friendly and helpful.

The garden house was incredible, and the staff was very helpful including the manager of the restaurant.

It was interesting

We loved staying here! - The rooms were clean and spacious with a nice kitchenette, close to a small grocery for essentials. - the included breakfast was brought to our room every morning and was delicious! - About a 5 minute walk from two metro lines (2 and 12) that bringing you easily to central Paris - This area of Montmartre is a at the bottom of the funicular (3 minute walk!) so it's easy to get up into the hills, but also had many shops and restaurants very close by!

This was so fun!! We loved zooming around Paris is this tiny vintage car seeing the sights. A nice way to get a lay of the land and explore the nooks and crannies of Montmartre.

This was a great experience! The Louvre was incredibly busy on the day of our visit, so having Seb, our tour guide was invaluable. He was so knowledgeable and kept my daughter engaged and made sure she was able to see and experience things even in the crowds. She loved spending the time with him and completing her scavenger hunt activity!

This workshop was so fun, hands on, and a great way to spend an afternoon. We worked together with the instructor to make croissants and dough, learned about the techniques and had lots of laughs.

The car services that were booked for us throughout our trip were excellent, everyone was always on time, friendly, clean cars and reliable!

I wish we had more time for this! Versailles was gorgeous and the half day tour was great for my daughter, but we could have spent a ton more time exploring the gardens. The audio guide was nice and they have a kids specific option available in certain languages that my daughter really liked listening to. We spent about an hour in the gardens and about 90 minutes in the palace.

A great hotel in the heart of Edinburgh New Town. The rooms are modern and comfortable, with all the amenities you would expect from a 4-5 star hotel. The staff at the hotel could not have been more helpful and accommodating, from holding our bags when we arrived early in the morning, to the most wonderful and attentive service in the restaurant (with a truly delicious breakfast service) to helping us book a taxi to pick up our rental car on the day of checkout. Even though there was road construction going on on the street in front of the hotel, we were able to be dropped off and picked up right at the door. We would definitely book here again!

Cameron House is a full-on luxury resort. We stayed in the original part of the building in a lovely ground-level room that overlooked the beautiful garden. The hotel has everything, and while we didn't have time to experience all of it we were able to see the gorgeous pool/waterslide/hot tub/spa area, the stunning whiskey bar, the fun and casual lounge restaurant, and the lovely lobby bar. At dinner at their off-site restaurant as both in the hotel were fully booked. Amazing location right on the shore of Loch Lommond. The massive, stunning buffet breakfast we had the next morning was beyond compare, with the best haggis of the trip and just an amazing selection of anything you could want. Wish we could have stayed longer!

This hotel was just lovely and we wish we could have stayed longer. Harriet (the owner/manager) was so helpful and kind, helping us with our heavy bags (no elevators in this historic property). Great location on the edge of Stirling, private car park, very pretty restaurant.

Dungallan Country house is just that- a lovely country house. The rooms are stunning and have all the amenities you could ask for- including gorgeous bathrooms with heated towel bars, robes and slippers, giant shower, etc. Homemade shortbread and Scottish tablet (a treat!) in every room. The staff- lead by manager Michele- could not have been more helpful, setting us at ease immediately upon arrival when we discovered we had left our passports in the room safe at our previous hotel. The dinner we had in their restaurant was quite possibly the best dinner of our entire trip. Lovely breakfast too.

Rated one of the most romantic hotels in Scotland- and we could see why! We stayed in the Lovat Suite- huge, truly historical feeling while still being incredibly comfortable. Our friends and traveling companions had the suite next door which had a stunning view of Beauly Firth right out their window. We arrived late and left relatively early, but enjoyed a nice breakfast and a drink in the lounge/bar the night before. Wish we had had more time to explore the history of this beautiful property.

This guided walking tour of Edinburgh was one of the highlights of our trip. Jack- our tour guide- met us at our hotel and brought us straight up to Calton Hill, an historic sight very close by. From there he guided us through New Town, Old Town, the Royal Mile, New College, Grassmarket and eventually back to our hotel, offering history, local lore and knowledge the entire way. So much nicer than a larger, more impersonal group. Jack even took us inside the Edinburgh Supreme Court building (two of our group were lawyers) which was a great addition/side note. We absolutely loved this part of our trip to Scotland.

Unfortunately we were unable to do the distillery visit as our earlier activity (driving tour) started late due to our later than planned arrival in Oban. I'm sure it would have been great.

John adjusted the timing of our tour as we were late arriving to Oban (due to our own car trouble) and took us on a lovely 3+ hour tour of the area. The original route was one we had kind of traveled on our way from Loch Lommond, so John adjusted and took us to other places- the Bridge over the Atlantic, Dunstaffnage Castle, a lovely seaside village where they hold a rock-skipping competition and other memorable spots. Due to our delay we weren't able to take advantage of the seafood tasting experience, which was unfortunate, but now we have a reason to go back to Oban!

It is close to a piazza that has a lot going on, but the rooms are still quiet when you're inside. Everything was comfortable and clean. One guy seemed new and not helpful, but everyone else was good. I loved the nice big shower!

The room was very nice and clean. It was roomier than others we had in Italy, so that was nice. It is right across from a school, so trying to drive around in the morning was almost impossible. It is close enough walk to lots of things, but far enough that you don't feel in the mix. The pool was nice. The breakfasts were good.

The staff were very nice and accomadating. I like the area, but it would've been hard to find, if we didn't have a guide. The front is tucked away in an alley- but most of Venice is going through alleyways. Once you walk out of the alley, you are at the waterfront. Venice is all walk or boat- no cars or bikes. I really liked this hotel. The breakfast was very good and I liked that we could get cappuccino with breakfast. The only slight downfall would be that you shouldn't take a bath. I was sore from so much walking and the bath was perfect, but in Venice it doesn't drain well, so the water rose up from the drain in the floor of the bathroom. The staff took care of cleaning my clothes that got wet, and I'm sure they fixed the problem after we left, but because Venice is in water, I don't think it can handle tub drains.

The room was clean and the bed comfortable. It is very small, though- we both stubbed toes trying to get around the bed, but we got used to it. The shower was also very small. They have a nice garden area and you can eat your breakfast there or inside. They don't have room keys, you have to use their website to unlock the doors. (that was difficult for me, since my phone was being used for directions etc during the day and the battery was almost dead each evening). There's plenty of nice places to walk around in the area, but the collosseum is about 45 minute walk.

I cannot rate this activity because the arrangements were made for the wrong date, so we didn't get to go.

The drive to each place was very scenic. We got good descriptions of the areas and the wines etc. We even had some time for shopping. I think the wines were good, and the olive oils were very nice. Lots of people there purchased bottles to take home. We tasted Chianti, Chianti Classico, and Super Tuscan wines- and learned the difference between them. Fattoria di Bagnolo was the 1st stop. It is a family owned winery. We tasted their olive oil, Rose` and 2 Chiantis. It was such a beautiful place! Then we stopped to shop and walk around Greve In Chianti. We walked up a hill for a panoramic view, and it was awesome! Next stop was Luiano Winery. I like their wine the best! This is where we enjoyed a very nice lunch. Everything here was wonderful. 3rd winery was Diadema. we toured their olive oil making process and tasted their wines.

Daniela was our guide. She was enthusiastic about showing us the progession of art from medieval times to Baroque and further. Another couple had cancelled , so we were her only people on the tour, and it was fantastic. The gallery is a very busy place, but I felt like we were able to appreciate so much from this tour. It was definitely interesting and I would not have gotten much out of it, if I were to walk around on my own.

Rafaelo was our guide. This was a wonderful tour on the boat, and we got to go on land for a few hours. We visited the blue grotto first (before it got extremely busy). It was very busy, but they move people fairly quick for a 5 minute tour into the grotto on a small boat. The water just glows a beautiful blue. Then we went on land. We decided to go to the top panoramic view. You take a bus to the area where you can wait in a long line to go on the Seggiovia Monte Solaro chairlift. It was quite a wait, but worth it. The scenery is fantastic. But, we couldn't stay there too long, becuase we had to use the chairlift to go back and the bus, etc. The bus is not labeled for where it goes, and often the people there will tell you the wrong bus to get on (we heard from many people complaining). But, we made it back and ate a sandwich and drank a beer on the boat. We got to see the natural arches and green grotto and more. It was really very nice!

Just gorgeous. I really can't say enough good things about this tour. The guide was great, the places we stopped were beautiful and serene and the people were lovely. Although every place is filled with shops and souveniers- which is overwhelming. We ate lunch in Ravello. A rule of thumb for Italy is: if it has a beautiful scenic view, then they don't worry as much about the food quality. That was true everywhere we went. We opted for the scenic view, because it is spectacular. (the food was not). It was a lot of walking for the day -especially Positano, which has thousands of steps. At the end of the day we were very tired and it was nice to relax in the guide's vehicle on the way "home". I would do this tour again and again.

There's so much to take in. There's a lot of history in this building- so many rulers have been through here and many years of change. It was a very good experience. The guide was very knowledgable

This is a great way to experience Venice. I really enjoyed the guide and a enjoyed the rowing. It is at times peaceful and at times busy. We did this on our first day in Italy and I think it set the pace for us and allowed us to appreciate Venice even more.

We had a lot of tours in Italy and this was one of my very favorites! The guide was awesome. I think we had about 8 people total, so it was intimate and easy to walk around with such a small group. I appreciated all the food s we tasted and the drinks we had. Everyone loved the Spritz drinks- the Select Spritz is the local favorite, and it was my favorite also. It was a good amount of walking/exploring without being too much. Ending it with a gelatto, was the perfect touch! I would do this again!

Our guide was very helpful and knowledgable. I thought I would be uneasy riding among traffic, but it is easier than it looks. Once you're out of the busy traffic, it opens up to some nice scenery. We saw the giant walls taht created the aquaducts and got lessons on how the water made it to the city from the mountains. It is just astounding the architectural geniuses that the Romans were. The guide in the catacombs was interesting, too. I had no idea this area existed. Our excursion was supposed to be in the morning, but we had thunderstorms roll through, so it was rescheduled for the afternoon- and I'm glad. It was a great afternoon. I think we did 12 miles.

It was a very nice half day. Our guide on the bus was good and told us a lot of things. Bags/purses are not allowed in the tower of Pisa, so if you want to climb it, leave your purse on the bus and take your wallet with you. One lady didn't understand that , even though the guide told us on the bus, so she complained afterwards -but she was the only one who didn't get the instructions, and I felt sorry for our guide. Anyways, we decided not to go inside the tower. The outside and the buildings were enough to please us. We had a spritz at the little restaurant there and enjoyed the views. Just remember that toilets in Italy cost money, so bring coins with you at all times.

Yum! Just yum! It was a very nice walk through town to small venues with good food. I absolutely loved the Pinca Pizza . It is made with 3 different flours: wheat, soy and rice, and it is scrumptious! We went to another place for Suppli. That is very filling and delicious (so good, we went back the next day for more!!). Unfortunately, the 3rd place we went for pasta was not so good. Some people liked it, though. I didn't eat more than 2 bites. The place had no other customers, so that should tell you something. The pasta Carbonara was salty, the sauce was too thick, and the noodles were way too al dente for me (kinda crunchy). But, I was full enough from the other stuff. Then, we topped off the night with gelato, which was very good. Luca was our guide and he was fantastic.

It feels a little old and run-down but the service was great.

Great location, beautiful rooms and excellent service.

This hotel was a gem! The rooms were beautiful and so clean. Dinner was such a treat! Beautiful and delicious and unexpected. Also, the staff was very attentive.

Great tents! The camel ride was a titch long for me but I enjoyed it .

The room was a good size, it was clean and all the amenities you need. The staff at the hotel was friendly, helpful and fun. Breakfast had ample amount of choices and served with a smile and a conversation.

This was an apartment more so than a hotel. Room was spacious. Breakfast was just ok. They deliver to your room they do not have a restaurant. I think if we were on an upper level floor we would have liked it more. We were down below street level so didn't have a view. We were about a mile from the harbor area(which was a great area). It was walkable for us but with hills and rough terrain that would be hard for someone with disabilities or physically not able to do a mile walk back and forth. Does not seem easy to get a taxi/uber etc.. however, the town area was maybe 1/4 or so of a mile which had coffee shops, a couple restaurants and shops. The apartment had a little kitchen set up with a stove, dishes, utensils, glasses. There was also a small washing machine which is really nice. However, there was not a dryer. They had an outside clothes rack with clothes pins. Which was fine with us but if it rained you would not be able to dry the clothes. There was a coffee shop on the same road as the apartment and a little market too.

We only spent one night at this hotel and we didn't arrive until 1:30am and left for the day by 9:30am. The room was nice, and clean but small. The breakfast was really good with many choices. Hotel staff were very pleasant.

The hotel was nice, the room was clean and had many amenities. We stayed in the new part which I was told was only open for about 2 months. Breakfast was great, many choices to eat and drink. Staff at this hotel were pleasant and helpful. The hotel was in the middle of many restaurants and bustling area. However, it was quiet in the area by 11:00 pm. We really liked the location it was a short walk down to the harbor where there are more restaurants/shops and beautiful views. This hotel does not have a pool nor is it by the beach. But a beach was not far.

Staff aboard the boat was fantastic. They were so nice and service was great. They explained where we were going and what we can do on the islands. I recommend them

We enjoyed walking g around ourselves and taking in the scenery along with the culture. It was fun to go in and out of shops or the beach or do whatever we wanted.

Our driver was fun and knowledgeable. The olive oil tasting and wine was paired with a charcuterie and home made sourdough bread with olive oil on it. The establishment was nice with a view and staff were great. The drive to the lunch spot was beautiful and the views from there were fabulous. The amount of food they gave is was crazy and so good. The stop at the oldest olive tree and explanation of how they get oil out of the olives was interesting. A great trip to go on to see a different part of the island.

We really liked out tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and fun to be with.

Our guide was very good and very sweet. She knew a lot of detail about the palace and history.

We enjoyed walking around and getting lunch and dinners at different places. The rooftop bars at night were great to see the Acropolis lit up.

Beaches were nice the water was beautiful. I do prefer Agios Propopkios beach over St George beach.

Because of ferry issues we really did not have much time to explore. We walked around a little bit had lunch and made our way to Chania.

Great experience. Lovely area, people are so friendly. Lot of fun. Great tavernas and higher end restaurants. Great views. Great shops.

The harbor area was nice. A lot of cool ally ways with shops and restaurants.
