Kimkim Trip Reviews for Argentina

Nadia was our tour leader and Gaston was our driver. Nadia was engaging, kind, fun, and very knowledgeable. She gave information in both English and Spanish, and ensured everyone was prepared to enjoy such majestic experience. Thanks Nadia!

Delightful to get up close to the glacier and witness it from another angle. Professional boat staff and the vessel was clean and well-maintained.

Rocio took us on a wonderful urban adventure through Palermo, Centro Historico, San Telmo, and La Boca. She was fun, engaging, very knowledgeable, and made it a wonderful tour. We were grateful to use public transportation (subway and bus) for part of it to enhance the experience and feel the city like a local. Thanks Rocio!

Lucas led us on a private group tour on the Laguna Torre trail. He was patient with our pace (we didn't make it to the end) and shared much of his vast knowledge about Patagonia. His passion for the environment and care for all its inhabitants was felt and appreciated. Thanks Lucas!

We really liked the Palo Santo Hotel. One of my friends expressed a strong desire to revisit, especially because of its location in the Palermo neighborhood. It was super convenient with currency exchanges and restaurants nearby. Overall, it was very comfortable and well-situated.

The Remota Patagonia Lodge was a standout for us. The style and aesthetics were first-class, with the whole place having a high-end, spa-like feel. The restaurant was excellent and having a swimming pool added to the experience. I would highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful time on the Buenos Aires Walking City Tour! Our guide, Diana, was excellent and really enriched our experience with her knowledge.

The visit to the Penguin Colony on Isla Martillo was a mixed experience. While the penguins were interesting and the scenery beautiful, the tour of the museum at Harberton Ranch was excessively long. The content was educational, but a shorter, optional tour would have been preferable as it stretched into the late evening.

Nice location. Nice restaurant and personnel.

Hotel did not do my laundry even though I asked them several times to make sure that it was ready for check out on the following day

Loved this hotel due to it's remoteness and the ambiance in the surrounding grounds. Many places to sit and read/visit, etc.

Restaurant was exceptional. Had GF food that I could eat and actually enjoyed. View was good. the flooring could have been better marked because there were drop offs that were unexpected if you weren't paying attention. In other words, the floors were uneven and mostly ramps from section to section

Hotel was on a street where many locals hung out. Getting our luggage ourselves was an issue since the bell hops insisted that they get them. Accessing the street was difficult because there always seemed to be a car in front of the hotel.

Staff could not understand my English when I told them I had COVID and needed to cancel my massage appointment. Darian was rude upon arrival because he was working on his computer. He did not say please nor thank you. The woman and Karla were fine.

Driver was on time and very patient while all of us arrived at different times from the United States

Flight delays - poor communication with our travel associate. Poor hotel accommodations at the Hilton due to the distance back to the airport, when the holiday inn express was at the airport.

Guide was unable to answer most of our questions at the church and along the way. She seemed to have a script of what she wanted to tell us. We asked a lot of questions in the church and she said that she did not know. Like the stations of the cross (since it was lent), the nun giving counseling (maybe), etc.

We were scheduled to have 2 shuttles holding 12 of us. Only one shuttle arrived so we were delayed in our departure to the airport while the transport company discussed the terms of settlement of the drivers. We did make it to the airport on time but by passing vehicles on solid yellow lines going speeds above normal based upon the sway of the vehicle.

A tour that was scheduled to last for 6 hours took well over 10 hours. Lunch was good; by the end of the day all were exhausted.

Both the El Principal vineyard and the Santiago vineyard tours were very nice for our last day of the journey.

Food was good and the show was thoroughly entertaining.

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the graffiti murals, tasting the food, and learning more about the Argentinian culture and history. Our guide was fabulous.

Our guide was wonderful. Got a good overview of Argentina's history and culture.

It was nice, but the Argentina side was better.

Loved the hiking and going under the waterfall on a boat. Beautiful.

Loved it!

Loved this activity. Beautiful scenery and fabulous guide. Nice pace of the day.

Especially loved the small winery. The winemaker was fun and interesting. We visited 3 wineries and there was not an olive factory tour.

The scenery was beautiful and our guide gave us good info. The cooking class was disappointing. We folded an empanada and dipped some meat in breadcrumbs, but we didn't actually learn how to cook anything.

The kayak guides were excellent and the rain gear was awesome. We paddled in the rain and stayed dry. It was a fun experience and we were the only ones on the lake. The "picnic" they gave us for lunch was amazing, and showed they put a lot of care into it. The hiking part of our day was cancelled due to rain, so we didn't experience that.

We liked being out in the countryside instead of right in town. The pool was really nice and we ended up meeting and associating with other travelers there. We liked the rooms with the rock walls. The grounds were very nice and had pretty flowers. The staff was helpful to us when we needed to figure out taxis and providing us breakfast extra early because we had to leave early.

We liked that this hotel had a nice view of Lago Argentino. The staff was also very helpful when we needed to make arrangements to buy tickets to the national park.

The rooms were very nicely appointed. We used the pool each night to relax and unwind. The staff were so helpful. It was located near one of Eva Peron's homes and so that was nice to tour. It was located by nice parks and restaurants. Having breakfast delivered to our room each morning was luxurious.

The bed was not king size and not comfortable. We were first shown a room with a terrible view, and when we asked, were moved to room with a wonderful view. The staff was nice. The location was great. We could walk to everything we wanted to do.

The Perito Moreno Glacier and Safari Azul was an incredible experience. We were on a boat and saw the glacier calving, which was absolutely stunning. The naturalist on board enriched our understanding, letting us get up close and personal. Even though we didn't walk on the glacier, the whole experience felt magical and unique. A must-do activity!

Visiting the Iguazú Falls, especially the part where we explored the Brazilian side, was breathtaking. The guide made a huge difference in enhancing our appreciation for the place. It was an outstanding experience, and the waterfalls were surreal.

Our Day trip to Tierra del Fuego National Park was magnificent, thanks to the guide who accompanied us. He made the site come alive with stories and facts, and we even got to walk a bit on one of the islands. This guided exploration was invaluable and added so much depth to our visit.

The family dinner in Calafate wasn't quite to my taste. It was different from our expectations and felt more centered around wine, which we don't drink. It wasn't really what we were hoping for, and we would probably not do it again.

The Tango and dinner show at El Viejo Almacen was a great introduction to Argentina and its culture. The performance was beautiful, especially with the Gaucho dancers. We had experienced something similar on a grander scale in Mexico City, but this was still a wonderful evening.

Consider yourself lucky if you have Nacho as your guide for this activity. His enthusiasm is contagious and his knowledge educational. It’s a lovely evening on the lake.

Our group loved experiencing the Patagonia ranch and lunch was a unique opportunity. The boat ride to the edge of the glacier was absolutely breathtaking. Pablo is one of the best guides I’ve ever experienced. He is patient, wise, knowledgeable and witty.

In a peaceful and safe place in Buenos Aires. Accustomed to English speaking travelers to some extent. No restaurant, but morning delivery of breakfast to your room. While we didn't use, there was a pool, spa, sauna, availability of massage, robes and kitchen set.

Uphill from town center with magnificent views over the water. Easy walk to the pier for excursions.

Although a taxi ride away from town center, this was a spectacular location for view. The main lobby was like being in an elaborate lodge or private home. The restaurant upstairs was small and intimate. The breakfast service was also upstairs and was abundant. We stored our luggage on our last day and relaxed in the environment before our airport shuttle arrived. There was an outdoor spa that we didn't use, but again, a glass enclosure with a spectacular view.

We were truly in a rainforest, complete with birdlife, and amazing trees. We had a screened porch with table and chairs and hammock to complete the rainforest appeal. Other hotels were in town center and while close to restaurants and shops did not seem to offer the appeal of rainforest.

Wonderful to reconnect with Jessica who first met us at airport and then was our guide to Buenos Aires in our early days of our visit. We visited yet another area full of information. So comfortable to travel with her.

We had to get ourselves to the meeting place (1st restaurant) Walked with a group of 10. We certainly got the flavor of many dishes and different outdoor cafes. We were expected at each location which was welcoming. The one serving steak and sausage was touch and the food dry. Perhaps change this stop.

There was confusion about the time of this tour and our expected arrival. You had to get yourself to the port to check in. We arrived too early, and had to wait too long for an average tour. It was informative to be on the channel that separates Argentina and Chile. Guide spoke in English and Spanish but w/o much enthusiasm,

Jessica was the guide that first met us at the airport as we checked into our hotel. We were with her for this walking tour and again when we returned to BA two weeks later. She was super accommodating with some help that we needed and handled everything about our first view of the city so easily - moving from walking, to Uber, to local bus.

Fun experience down a calm river with 18 people. We didn't have to paddle, just enjoy

Having never attended a Tango show, we were warmly greeted and seated. The service was excellent and the show fantastic.

Great experience with penguins for an hour on their island

From start to finish, we were guided, transferred and informed about the best way to explore the glacier walkways.

The most spectacular waterfalls we've ever experienced. We had a private guide that added to both our knowledge and fun experience.

How special to be greeted by your host in his home. Gabriel prepared his specialties using his mother's recipes. Lively group that melded well.

From a ride by coach to a boat to a long boat ride to 4x4 transport to return, it was a full day of so many experiences. Luch at the restaurant was wonderful! Full service again complete with wine.

Such a calm experience (1 1/2 hours) after the crowds of the Falls. Interpretive signage in 3 languages. Extensive areas in protected aviaries so you could experience close hand all the birds.

Slightly confusing for us travelers as we picked up at hotels and then many stops to facilitate border crossing. Our apprehension was due to our inexperience. We were a large group that made visiting the Falls together hard to manage. Getting lost was a slight concern in the crowds. However, the trip to BOTH sides of the Falls is not to be missed.

While we skipped the Tango lesson, we enjoyed going to a local Milonga with our guide Martene. While a late night, it was a wonderful experience and enjoyed our last night in Buenos Aires.

very nice!

Great location and nice staff!

Guides were great!

with flight changes we had very little time

very nice but super crowded

not very scenic-- not good food

great dancing but started late-- past our bedtime!

Casa Joseph is a wonderful place to stay. All of the staff were warm and welcoming. Thales was particularly helpful. He recommended restaurants, gave us directions, etc. I recommend staying here.

This is a beautiful facility. It's a newer building with a beautiful pool. However, the staff were polite but rather cold. I did not feel like a valued guest. And everything cost extra. I've been at lower end hotels that have treated me better.

Out of this world experience, a must, even for one night. 5-star accommodations with amazing food and wine. Personnel were more than helpful and available for everything. Would recommend without hesitation.

Amazing views for the room, staff were more than helpful, providing advice and hints for matters we did not even think about. They arranged for restaurant reservations and transportation efficiently. Definitely a plus to stay there. Hotel and rooms are beautiful as well as the gardens.

Rooms were quite large and very clean. Overall, very quiet and not far from the center of this small town. Decor might need to be refreshed a little bit with a coat of paint. This being said, would stay there again, no worries. The air conditioning unit started spilling water in the room during the night. Staff were located quickly, everything cleaned up rapidly. They offered another room: we declined since we were leaving in the morning. Standard breakfast with eggs made up on request.

Room on the small side for two people, two beds and luggage. However very clean and quiet. What made this hotel great was the staff: whether to tell us how to use subway, where to get off, etc. which restaurants in the area etc. they made a point of giving us all the info we needed. Standard breakfast with egg dishes on request. Good location.

High-end french-style hotel. Lovely with excellent breakfast. Staff were exceptional.

Being on the island with the penguins was our favorite part of the trip.

The food was amazing and the chef made it all so fun. The beef was delicious. It was great making the empanadas! Good wine too!

Wonderful tour-over 6 hours! We went everywhere and the guide was a history book of fun facts.

The Tango show was wonderful! The dancing was amazing, and the food served at the restaurant was very good. It captured the essence of Argentine culture for us and was a memorable evening.

Iguazú Falls were breathtaking, and we loved visiting both the Argentine and Brazilian sides. Each side offered unique views and experiences. Despite the slightly uphill hike on the Brazilian side, it was still easy and enjoyable. The guide made the customs process smooth despite the long lines.

It was fantastic to see the Brazilian side of Iguazú Falls too. The hike was manageable, and our guide was very helpful in getting us through customs. It rounded off our exploration of the falls excellently.

The full-day visit to Nibepo Aike Ranch was incredible. The scenic drive through the National Park, with views of glaciers, was just beautiful. At the ranch, we witnessed sheep shearing and enjoyed a nature walk learning about local flora. The highlight was a delicious grilled lamb lunch, which was a true taste of the region's cuisine.

Awesome resort for the price. Breakfast was great. Loved that this was in the jungle!

Very charming boutique hotel!

Comfortable rooms with lots of space. Lacked ambiance which out be easily spruced up with some artwork and color in the rooms.

Super amazing views of the mountain from the room! Good sized room. Bathroom could use some upgrades. There’s no A/C and the bathroom fan was broken.

Amazing location, super comfortable and clean!

Romina was so informative, flexible and great to spend the day with!

Diego was informative and interesting and we loved our stadium tour

Very comfortable hotel Small and in a great area of Buenos Aires. Easy to walk to all restaurants and the staff at the hotel was super

Physically a nice enough Hotel. Very well set up has pool. It's clean. It's big. The beds are comfy. The staff's attitude is crummy and for that reason I would not stay there again

I was super impressed by the dancers and the way that this show was put together covering the 1920s through the indigenous people and the sounds of the Andes from the pipes they played

Really enjoyed our tour with Pablo our guide. We were the only two we had plenty of time with him. We learned a significant amount of the history of the city and of course the river, the peoples that settled there. I always appreciate getting that kind of information it gives you a feeling for what the city was and has become. Lot of architecture and of course tours of the parks which are really overwhelmingly frequent in Buenos Aires

The Remota Patagonia Lodge in Puerto Natales was absolutely lovely. The ambiance and service were excellent, making our stay enjoyable and relaxing.

Hosteria El Paraiso in El Chaltén was not as comfortable as expected due to the lack of air conditioning. The hot weather made it difficult to sleep peacefully. It would have been helpful to know this in advance, as I could have brought a small fan. However, the location itself was beautiful.

The Full-Day Trek to the Base of Torres del Paine was quite interesting. We ended up walking the trail on our own as the guide allowed us to break off due to our quicker pace and the large number of hikers. The guide wasn't necessary since the hike was straightforward, and we felt that only transportation was needed, as the guided aspect was minimal and mostly in Spanish.
