Kimkim Trip Reviews for Argentina

The hotel was beautiful and the food was delicious. It was my favorite breakfast of the trip. The staff was so warm and friendly

The setting is gorgeous. We had a Mountain View from our hotel room and I could have looked at it all day. The food and drinks were delicious. The Calafate sour was quite memorable. The pool and spa were lovely. Tours excellent.

Gorgeous hotel right in the center of town in the main square. Walk to many lovely restaurants

The hotel lobby is stunning. The pool area is gorgeous and the restaurants were delicious

It was a nice hotel. Very clean. The breakfast buffet was not so great. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and it was excellent. It was on the lake but not walkable to the cute town. They did have a free shuttle though.

We did not enjoy this hotel. The location was not great. There was not a lot of shopping and restaurants that close by and some vacant store fronts. We had the penthouse and it seems more shabby than chic. The breakfast was fine but nothing great.

Good location and nice lobby. The rooms are a little dated. The breakfast was just ok.

Lovely food and a fun show

The Perito Merino glacier is just stunning and if you have the opportunity to get close-up on a boat, I Highly recommended

We had a very good guide. He showed us quite a bit of Buenos Aires and gave us a lot of history. We enjoyed it.

We really enjoyed both sides of the falls but our tour guide was not great. He tried to upsell us to do the Brazilian boat ride $20 pp instead of the Argentinian boat ride we already paid for so that was weird. He didn’t tell us that much about the falls or provide suggestions but where the best pictures were. We cover both sides of the falls so it was a long day but we had to ask him to stop so we could eat lunch at 2:00 because we had been going since 8:30. He told us we could have 30 minutes for lunch at a place that did not have takeout. We changed clothes after we got soaked on the Argentinian side and then then we went over to the Brazilian side and he sent us down a path to see a part of the falls and we got soaking wet again. I thought it would’ve been nice if he had told us that we were going to get drenched again.

This was one of the best tours of our trip. The scenery is amazing. The boat was very nice and the staff were super friendly.

Torres Del Paine is beautiful. We had a cloudy day but our tour guide tried very hard to show us the peaks. He pointed out lots of wildlife and we had a very nice picnic lunch.

The boat and staff were great. The Penguins were just super cute and amazing to watch.

This tour was just ok. There was some history, but a lot of politics and the tour itself just wasn’t that exciting. We had two teens with us and he didn’t try to engage them at all or make it interesting for them.

Somewhat dated. Walkable but a long way to main drag, though taxis are easy. Nice view of lake but not really to the mountains. Mix of great and surly staff. Pretty much lives up to its website—calibrate your expectations. I wouldn’t recommend seeking it out, but if you’re short other options, it serves its purpose.

The hotel view was amazing as we had a lakeside room. The room was comfortable. Breakfast was good although the only eggs on offer were scrambled or boiled . The location is perfect as it’s a short walk to the centre of town

Loved the hotel. The location was perfect. Very nice ambiance. Room was comfortable and v clean

Loved the location and loved the building. Our room was wonderful, especially loved the bathroom. It was huge . The lobby was inviting with very little seating area. The restaurant was great and the breakfast had a wide variety of foods. Even had a chance to try Mate

The staff helpful, cheerful, and caring. We had fun with them in this lovely boutique hotel. Good English and patience explaining and arranging options for us. Restaurant- quiet, private with a lovely wall garden, the staff accommodating as were the hours. Delicious food moderately priced. Decor: quirky mid - Century modern, roomy , with balcony, space and furniture for sitting, colourful and tasteful. Located in a beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood.

A wonderful experience. Thunder and lightning show our first night that went on for hours. The estuary was magic. Wildlife abundant pointed out to us by a good guide. 2 boat rides a day included. Authentic meals in the lodge. Road in a 4 hour ordeal-very rough. Only negative and explains lack of guests.

During our five-night stay at Tierra de Leyendas in Ushuaia, we had a wonderful time. The lodge had a European chalet-style feel, and the owner, who had European roots, provided top-notch service. The rooms were not very spacious, but the overall ambiance was quiet and pleasant. While the location was slightly inconvenient for getting into town, the delicious food and nice presentation made up for it.

A lovely location like an oasis with two pools to cool off in. Our accommodation was clean and comfortable with veranda. On the whole, the resort seems a bit tired but the hidden gem made up for it in spades. A 5 star restaurant that appeared nightly, 2 kitchens, sushi and Italian, gloriously served by young handsome men in suits and bow ties. All affordable priced. Best steak I’ve ever had!

The journey to the lodge was challenging due to the rough road conditions, the experience was well worth it but I would highly recommend ensuring travelers have a sturdy four-wheel-drive vehicle for the journey.

Seeing all the wilflife and the penguins was one of the highlights of the trip! Highly recommended.

We had an incredible time engaging in various activities. The lodge was situated in a serene location, offering us the chance to immerse ourselves in nature. We went out twice a day on a boat to observe the diverse bird species in the area. The surroundings were peaceful and quiet, providing a perfect setting for bird watching. The lodge itself was lovely, and we enjoyed our meals there. The highlight of our stay was the wildlife we encountered, making it one of the best parts of our trip.

Visiting Iguazu Falls was a breathtaking experience. On the Argentinian side, we had a knowledgeable guide who showed us hidden gems around the waterfalls, such as rare birds and their nests. Despite the intense heat, the day was filled with awe-inspiring sights and experiences. We also took a boat ride under the falls, which added an extra thrill to the adventure. The next day, we explored the falls from the Brazilian side, which offered a different perspective. The walkway extending over the falls was both exhilarating and slightly nerve-wracking. The natural beauty we witnessed was worthwhile. Overall, our visit to Iguazu Falls was a highlight of our trip, and we were glad we visited both sides of the falls.

I loved this hotel. The location was close to the main town (walking distance or accessible by shuttle). I loved watching the birds in the lawn in the morning and looking out my window at the beautiful view.

this was one of our favorite parts of the trip. We learned so much and were really able to appreciate the culture of Buenos Aires

This show is very long and ends late at night (there is then a bus ride back to the hotel that takes a while). You do learn a lot about the development of the tango

One of the highlights of the trip. The guides were amazing

it normally would have scared me to bike in a big city, but Buenos Aires has good bike lanes and the guide is good. This is a rigorous day we biked just under 12 miles and were out for about 4 hours.

this trip helped you really understand the power of the waterfalls and see them from a different perspective. I also really liked the trip in the 4-wheeler type vehicle through the jungle to get to the boat.

Very nice hotel at the beginning of town. It’s a small mountain town so no frills but we weee very happy with our accommodations. Each morning they had a nice breakfast to get you ready for your adventurous day. The staff was all very helpful and nice.

Really nice location in Palermo away from the business of the city. Plenty of restaurants and cafes in the area. The staff was all very nice, professional, and accommodating. We left something in the room and the team notified us immediately to let us know. Very happy with this hotel.

Beautiful accommodations at the far end of the main town. Wonderful staff, and very nice rooms. Breakfast included each morning to get you ready for your day.

Our guide, Enrique, was fantastic and took us around San Telmo, La Boca and other interesting areas of Buenos Aires. He was very informative, took us to a local Choripan restaurant and made our experience fantastic.

Our guide, Aime, was fantastic! What a fun experience seeing an estancia with a great meal, horseback ride (easy), and cultural dance show after lunch. Well worth it!

A must experience if you visit Buenos Aires! Great meal and fantastic cultural experience.

What a fantastic hike, however make sure you are prepared for a 9hr, 12.5 mile hike which will test you. This was our favorite excursion of our vacation. After approximately 4-5 hours you new h the summit and are treated to an unbelievable view of Fitz Roy and all of the accompanying scenery including beautiful teal colored lakes Our guide, Virginia, made our experience by observing the pace that made us feel most comfortable and never made us feel like we needed to move faster or slower. She explained all of the history of the different trails and mountains as well as the culture. It was easily our most memorable experience!

What a cool experience. You travel a couple of hours out on Lake Argentina to a remote ranch where guides take you to the top to view the Upsala Glacier field. Once back down to the estancia you enjoy a great meal and museum tour.

An absolute must experience! Words can’t describe the views and experience of hiking on the glacier. Our guide, Vanessa, met us at the hotel and took us into Glacier National Park for an experience of a lifetime. After the mini-trek hike on the glacier she then spent another couple of hours taking us along the walkways to view the glacier from a different view. All the while always patient and taking the time to educate us on the glacier and its’ history.

What a fun experience. It was just hard enough to make it interesting and fun yet eat enough for all levels to enjoy as we have never crafted before. Our guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made us all feel part of a team as we made our way down the River.

Our guide was very informative and flexible. Great way to see Buenos Aires!

The hotels in Mendoza were wonderful, the wine was fantastic and it was a very relaxing stay in the region.

Ushuaia is a special place and there really are four seasons in a day! We enjoyed our short stay there very much.

Unbelievably beautiful, awesome falls.

The hotel is very centrally located for driving and walking activities. It was very clean. The linens particularly were very comfortable. Was a little loud in the evenings and mornings as we were on the side of the street. The breakfast was beautiful and ample. The staff was very formal and professional, more informative than friendly.

From the welcome drink and towel to the breakfast buffet this hotel was the must luxurious of the trip. The proximity to the national park was second to none. The monkeys, while a nuisance to the staff, we’re an absolute delight to the guests. We particularly enjoyed the other visitors to this hotel. Lots of lovely families and couples. Pricey but worth it if you can swing it. I’ll dream of that breakfast buffet for ever!!

30 min outside of Mendoza city, and a 30 min walk to the small town’s centrum made the location of this guest house questionable. The room was basic. The hotel itself could’ve had lovely ambience and a family or homey feel however, we never saw the same staff members twice so I felt like we could never connect with the place. Dinner service was spotty in the restaurant so each night we had to make the long walk into the village to find something to eat. Breakfast was limited and very basic bread and jam and fruit.

Loved this!

I will recommend this to anyone I know who is visiting.

I’m so glad we added this. A visit to the falls just isn’t the same without visiting both sides.

I did not feel like we really needed a guide for the Argentinian side of the falls. Walking the trails was included in our hotel and as long as we had the right information, we could’ve made it to the boat trip without any problem on our own

Loved it all! Marco and driver were a great pair. I love how excited Marco got introducing us to each new winery. His energy was contagious. I loved when he joined us in conversation with the Vineyard employees.

It was really special getting to visit so many different vineyards . It really makes you appreciate the differences in the wine. Again, it was delightful having Marcos join us at several of the sites. His knowledge added to the conversation and his, delightful humor, and personality.

A little” kitche”, but a charming “must do” when in Buenos Aries

I loved this walking tour so much. I’ll recommend Valeria to our friends who make similar trips

Loved our stay here. Clean rooms, helpful staff, good breakfast, great part of town.

Jungle paradise. This was like the hotel version of glamping. Of course we loved the pools and the food and the environment was absolutely incredible.

These performances were amazing!! Even my 10 year old enjoyed every second.

This was such a beautiful experience. Our guide, Maria was amazing. The ranch was beautiful and the afternoon and activities were so enjoyable. Just think fresh air with beautiful scenery and delicious food!

Wow. What a day. Coti (I hope I'm spelling that correctly) was the perfect guide for such incredible sights. I've seen pictures but there's nothing like walking around and above the falls and feeling the mist. An absolute must do.

What a great day!! The birds were so neat! We loved walking around inside the cages with them. Also, the Brazil side of the falls is nothing to miss!! I'm so glad we got to see the falls from both sides and walk out to the Devil's Throat. I have never in my life seen such an incredible sight. We also got to add on a boat ride under some of the falls! Be prepared for a fun ride and to get soaked!

This was one of the best hotels we stayed at on our Argentina trip. The staff were very accommodating, the room and location was great! A group of 8, we had a great time here.

A brand new hotel in the heart of Iguazu Falls but still away from the main thoroughfare. Clean rooms, a great roof top bar. Walking distance to restaurants downtown.

The staff was very helpful as eight of us descended on them at the start of our visit to Argentina. They helped get rooms ready and held back food for some of us who arrived on later flights. Very kind of them to hold our bags for a week as we went to Iguazu and Mendoza, as we were returning back to this hotel.

Very good location, that allows to go pretty much everywhere within a short walk or short ride. Very nice rooms and certainly very nice staff, who's been always as helpful as kind.

Great location, nicely set in the local vegetation to give that sense of secluded place. Very nice rooms, and so the dining area, serving always good food (and a very nice cellar). Staff always very gentle and attentive.

Just enough outside El calafate to give character to the place, but still close enough to enjoy the walk to town. Simple rooms, but very clean and well kept.

very good location, central and two streets up from the now-very-touristy-busy San Martin, it's quiet and it features a nice view over the port and the city (particularly from the top-floor bar). Staff always very helpful. Rooms comfortable, quite and clean.

all smooth, drop off and pick up very efficient and attentive.

we landed in Buenos Aires and took off the same day to Puerto Iguazu. Everything very well organised, with the guide coming to the airport effectively just to receive us. He took our extra luggage to the hotel where we would have stayed on a few days. That helped a lot.

Both sides very impressive, definitely important to visit the Brazilian side to get the full sense of the place.

both sides very impressive. Important to visit both and definitely worthwhile to go with the boat rides.

Areolineas did its best to disrupt our plans, but KimKim did its best to rearrange everything impressively well in a very short time (over Christmas Eve!!). So.. great job Kim Kim and great job Francesca!

Very nice tour. Lovely trekking for those who can and very nice old-train-ride through the park. Worthwhile.

Such a beautiful city.. the tour was very well organised and kept into consideration the variety of people in our group. Very well paced and focussed on those unmissable places. We had a few extra requests (visit to one of the old train stations...) and the guide/driver always helped. great experience, very comfortable, very informative for kids and adults.

we didn't noticed it was a 6h tour.. we went with Rumbo Sur. They are well organised and the tour is nice. Perhaps to long if you travel with kids.

as Aerolineas changed our flights, we did not go to Los Angelico's but to El Aljibe. As a group of 10 and with children, we could only go to a "more touristic" type of show, nevertheless it was very nice, very well organised, engaging and in a very nice location, where they served a nice dinner. So..approved! And again, arranged by Kim Kim at the very last minute for Christmas Eve. Impressive.

definitely worthwhile. Impressive to see what nature is still creating just off Buenos Aires and how people are settling in this area. fascinating.

a very nice, safe and easy way to see this beautiful giant from close. Recommended.

Smooth flight, El Calafate is now more of a touristic destination, but still preserved its character. The surrounding are very beautiful. Worthwhile visiting the ice museum.

very nice way to peek and get the sense of what was the life in these estancia. It is now very much of a touristic approach, very disciplined and "civilised", but particularly if you travel with kids and family, it's the best solution. And they are always very kind.

Aerolineas changed the flights with some horrible ones. We managed to mitigate the trouble and Kim Kim provided us with very good logistic support to make it as smooth as possible.

thanks to Kim Kim the disruption caused by Aerolineas was mitigated... they helped with transportation and logistics.

Great location, lovely staff, awesome room with some expectations. Laundry service option was great!

Great staff, beautiful hotel with a lot of potential, but it needs some repair and updates. Needs screens on the windows given no need to open windows at night.

Gorgeous, modern, comfortable bed.

A ride to Villa Angostura- a smaller town north of San Carlos. This was one or favorite experiences with Facundo and Nico. We mountain biked with Facundo in the Arrayanes Forest- a forest of sacred trees native to the region. We also took a boat ride on the lake Nuahel Huapi. This was physically challenging at the beginning and we finished a relaxing sail I the afternoon with a home cooked meal prepared Nico.

We loved our guide Ricky. We enjoyed the dozing bike ride while seeing the city. We had mate in the park and so the Recoleta cemetery. We had an excellent lunch with traditional cuisine- stews and empanada.

This was fun and relaxing- we took a chair lift ride to see the beautiful views of the lake area. We went to Patagonia brewery, where we enjoyed drinks and lunch. We dipped our toes in cold glacier lake water. We had a private driver.

Great experience. We would liked this to be more difficult but we enjoyed it overall.

Great location. Excellent staff at reception, especially Jose and Adrian. Breakfast staff were wonderful. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent. Comfortable room.

Unique location and ambience. With it being a ways from the town, there was no opportunity to exchange money or eat elsewhere unless you hired a taxi, Wish the breakfasts were available a half hour earlier as pickups for excursions made it very rushed.

Good location and friendly reception and breakfast staff, Wish they had a safe in the room. Also they don’t make up rooms until after the third night. They charge to change towels. Before that.

Good location. Helpful reception staff. Allowed early partial breakfast or boxed breakfast if leaving early. Floors of the room were dirty. Both times we were there, slippers and dressing gowns were provided. Toilet paper was not filled after the first night both times we were there. You have to put the sign out to make up room or your room won’t be attended to. Can only use YouTube to get old English news.

Great ambience and staff. Wilson was fabulous. All staff were friendly. “This is your home” mantra allows you to have wine and beer and yogurt , juice, fruit and filtered water all day long.

Location was a ways out of the town core. Very windy so not easy to walk into town. Rooms not in the main building were good for people able to bring in good to cook but a bit dated. Bed was in the loft upstairs. TV did not work. Breakfast staff was friendly. Food basic. For dinner, space is limited. Nice view from the deck. Most places provide box breakfasts for free if you leave before breakfast but this place charges. They also charge for box lunches which is fine but the price seems high though I don’t know what is provided.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. Graciela and Pierre gave us an interesting tour of Boeda with a stop for drinks at a characteristic bar. Then hosted us at their home and showed us how to make empanadas and we had a fabulous dinner and great conversation. Plus they gave us gifts to take home.

The Falls were excellent to see and walk the walkways. Highly recommend the tour. The guide not great. Wish more information was provided and there was a lot of wasted time that could have been utilized elsewhere. Perhaps some of this time was due to Devils Throat not being accessible. Plus juggling the group when some did the boat ride and others didn't - rather than wasting time eating and waiting around, we could have just gone back to the hotel.

The Brazil side was far more spectacular than the Argentina side of the falls. Excellent guide and experience. The trip was well organized and accommodated people doing the helicopter ride. We were going to the airport after the tour so the tour company juggled all the various itineraries of the travellers and managed the border crossings well too.

Recoleta is a must see. Enjoyed walking the streets getting to Recoleta. Plus had some bonus visit to a museum that the guide was surprised that we lucked out when we were there and initiated conversation with the curator who opened it up for us. We walked the area back to the hotel so went through the rose gardens and parks on our own which was interesting.

Excellent guide who provided good info and history of the area. Loved seeing the Grand Splendid Bookstore. We walked back to the hotel after being dropped off there.

Did not find the Estancia visit worthwhile but the visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier was good. The small boat ride out to the glacier seemed like a time filler by going a long about way plus it was not great as the water was very rough. The description we had did not advise we would be in a very small boat that bounced along the waves and had water flowing in. Luckily there was four us plus our guide and the two people handling the boat. It could have handled two more people but that would not have been great. Once we got to the glacier it was okay. Good to take photos from the small boat there. I would have found it more enjoyable just driving to the glacier with a stop where we saw other boats going to the glacier and going to the glacier by boat there (we just landed there). It would have been smoother and shorter so not wasting time. The actual visit to the Perito Mereno Glacier walkways was excellent.

Unfortunately the weather was raining for the whole day but we could see how spectacular it would be to see it on a better day. Luckly, I was able to get pictures from someone I met when we did the Grey's Glacier day as she was doing this tour the day after that. But highly recommend this tour. Guide and driver were good. The driver was an amazing photographer so great to see his pictures of the area.

Great city snd enjoyed the colourful streets. But not impressed with the guide. Tour started at 9:39 and ended at 3:45 with about an hour and a half lunch spot. Tour guide , Filipe, had his lunch and a couple of glasses of wine on us. Not impressed that he didn’t offer to pay for his own. We gave a smaller tip to him but still felt we needed to give hime something. Not a lot more of added info compared to most tours. We could have walked around exploring on our own. The driver both ways was outstanding. He was the best driver of the whole trip. He made an effort to give us info often using the translation app. And he gave us little Chilean flags as a memento of our trip to Chile.

Enjoyed the tour. Interesting to see the geysers. Guide was good. Food was good.

Gabriel’s dinner was a highlight of our trip. Unique experience. Fabulous food and drink. The soup and lamb dishes were so tasty. Great conversation with the others there.

We just wondered around the hotel area as we had no plans after arriving later in the afternoon. Didn't feel comfortable with walking at night too much as didn't have a feel for the area. Driver from the airport got lost so took extra time to get to the hotel.

Instructions were not clear to others on timing and how to get to the boat as the driver did not speak English. Luckily, we knew where to go as we had been down to the beach on the previous day tour. Plus I had read it was a 40 minute walk. Unfortunately two of the people on the bus were slow and the boat was held up 15 minutes until they got to the boat. Glad the boat waited for them but they should have been advised of the time frame to get to the boat and proper instructions. Good experience to see the glacier. Not a wow but okay trip. Walking back we offered to help the slow people. It was very windy and difficult to walk back from the boat along the beach even if in good shape. Too bad the boat didn't have options to get people to and from the boat if they needed assistance or perhaps it was the fault of the instructions in not explaining the physical condition people needed to be in though I expect these two people figured they didn't need it. He was always late getting on the bus and not respectful of others time in a number of circumstances of the day.

We enjoyed walking around and going up San Cristobal Hill both via funicular and sky ride (teleferico). Tried to walk down but couldn't find the path despite locals trying to help. Unfortunately security staff could not help and had blocked off a pathway.

Guide was okay (he had a cold so was sniffing and runny nose most of the time so we were trying not to catch it from him). Santiago was not our favourite city but we saw the major things.

Outstanding guide. Interesting tour. Good to swim in the lagoon. Nice cocktails and appetizers at the end. Glad this tour was our first one in the area. Nice set up for the rest of our time in the area.

Good guide. Lagunas were beautiful. If you were short on time in San Pedro de Atacama, this would be the tour to skip.

I would have preferred to have breakfast at the hotel and start the tour later (others felt the same way). Because all the tours started so early, we missed having breakfast at the hotel though it was included. Felt the breakfast on the tour was a time filler and a lot of time standing around while the breakfast was being set up. Enjoyed the things we saw on this tour. Guide was good.

Excellent horse show

Great guide - excellent service, experience guide and knowledgeable

Great show and nice wine and dinner !

Wonderful experience with the Chef

Artist’s work is excellent
