Kimkim Trip Reviews for Argentina

All good.

No internet or very-very slow internet. Rest is all good

Far away from city center. Once you get in, no way to get out, other than calling taxi or wait 2 hrs for scheduled shuttle. Hotel itself is good. Since it is far away from anywhere, no evening entertainment of any sort, just restaurant to eat.

5 stars hotel in center of the city. All good. Can walk out of the hotel to walk through the town, Good location.

No suggestions. I liked everything, performance and location of the theater.

I am so glad that we were not chosen for the ice walking but Emilci offered to us this Azul excursion instead. That was a hit! The ice walking was not really needed since we had enough walking around the glacier with a professor glaciologist explaining nature and all details about this glacier. I am really satisfied with this tour and guide, educational.

This was so much fun! We had a blast and got to experience all sorts of culturally relevant activities

Beautiful but didn't really feel like I needed a guide for this trip. Would have enjoyed a ride

I felt like I was living in nature. Our room was beautiful, comfortable, with a very private screened porch looking at the jungle. The staff were helpful and the pool was lovely. Breakfast was ample and good.

The wineries were each different. We learned so much and the wine was great. The meal at the end was unbelievable. We took pictures of every dish we ate.

I loved the tour. I am 88 and was too tired to do the oat at the end. But the guide made allowance for my slow pace and was extremely helpful. For me it would have been better to have the boat trip on the Brazilian side of the falls

Perfect scenic location off the majestic lake with mountain views... Always a great experience as usual..

nice vistas from the tenth floor of the nearby apartments and streets leading to some great places like Floreria Atlantica and Basa. Comfortable, with roomy shower and thermostat control of the temperature of the room. Would remind USA folks to bring an electrical adapter and an extension cord to charge two phones and a sleep machine or laptop/camera simultaneously. Just walking distance to park, Patagonia store, and right two doors down is a great little bakery for sandwiches or sweets. Helpful staff, breakfast provided.

Away from the center of town, but quiet, relaxed, and feels private. nice sitting areas inside and out, friendly bar and restaraurant to visit with others at the end of your day.

Start with helpful attentive desk staff, attention to detail, willingness to help: i.e. My passport had fallen out of a jacket on a tour bus, staff tracked bus owner, had my passport back within 2 hours! Nice, roomy bar with dining tables as well as just relaxing areas. Attentive staff in restaurant, good breakfast selection and large seating area. Thermostat control in room for heat A/C. Very quick elevators- no long waits.

We enjoyed the tour, the Recoleta and its solar flower was impressive, The different ages and styles of architecture, the antique opulence and the urban liveliness was impressive.

Picked up as scheduled, on time. Friendly and understandable information from the tour guide on what we were seeing, time to return to bus from the park and the viewing of the glacier. timely transport for our scheduled boat tour

Beautiful views , crowded top deck and cooler on the front and sides of the boat. Boat was clean and interior seats were comfortable

Great time to walk down to the shore of the lake, see the cattle being moved, and learn about the history of the ranch. Wonderful coffee/tea and snacks on arrival, big lunch before we went on our long ride. If you are used to a western saddle, make certain your stirrups are long enough to keep your legs relaxed during the ride-their saddles are more of a modified English saddle-no pommel, and you are placed more forward than you may be used to.

The river is very cloudy with glacial sediment and cold, so you are fishing wets and trying to find the seams in current. Rods provided required an adjustment in my casting stroke, but not bad.

Our guides put us into our kayak with our lifevests, water skirts- very nicley equipped. The water clarity was spectacular, our tandem kayak was comfortable and easily controlled. The lake is pretty calm in the morning. We opted against the island hike, but had a great break with conversation, snacks and hot tea/coffee. Our guide took pictures for us and emailed them to us to share.

On time, friendly pickup from our guide, informative conversation about the area on the drive to the river. Very comfortable drift, in comfortable seats. Diego was helpful in pointing out good places to cast and also casting instruction for the presentations. Nice rainbows, missed a huge brown. Stopped on shore for a nice lunch; salad, sandwiches, cerveza or wine, coffee/tea, wonderful conversation about the area, fishing and life. A great time

Guide picked us up on time, transported to a nice breakfast and then wet-suited , life-vested, helmeted and taken to the river. Paddling instructions and response practice in a small pool in the river, then we went through the first rapids and continued through trickier ones with opportunities to drop in and enjoy the cool water twice before continuing through more rapids. When we reached the takeout point, our float was shorter than planned as the next rapids were too dangerous. Long climb up a steep trail to drop off wetsuits and gear, dry and get dressed, then taken back to the starting point for a lunch and refreshments, before heading back to our hotel

Very luxurious for the price. Mirador offered the most comfortable and largest hotel room during our trip. It felt very special spending time at Mirador and enjoyed all the amenities offered.

Location was very central but the hotel room was not that good - very strange layout with very minimal space for clothes or suitcases. Room got hot during the summer. The cost was very very affordable but I personally would have splurged for something a bit nicer to come home to each night after a long day exploring BA in the summer

Great location. Hotel room matched our need to be a base location for exploring Palermo. The room was very large to help us take hold of our luggage, but the open-concept sink outside the bathroom was very strange and led to messy floors with the water. I imagine the views from the room and top-floor breakfast area are stunning in the spring/fall. It was very sunny and warm during our trip so we weren't able to maximize this.

Absolutely incredible. We enjoyed the Casa Zolo back house as it felt like our own personal summer house away in the wine country. Staff were extremely professional and the kitchen cooked up some of the best dishes we had in the trip. So many nice touches from a historical venue - two pools, incredible scenery of mountains and gardens, massive rooms with beautiful ornate doors and windows, etc. I could go on and on. We felt special staying here.

Neighborhoods Tour was the perfect way to start our BA trip by giving us local context into the main highlights of the city

A decent hotel, but definately not a 4 star hotel as advertised. They had no restaurant and offered the same basic breakfast everyday. We stayed here on 3 separate occasions, one of which the room was not clean when we checked in The rooms are nice and big and have a small kitchen facility They have a nice pool and gym area and the staff are helpful.

An ok hotel for a couple of nights Limited facilities in the room, no fridge or kettle

1st room we checked into was dirty 2nd room we checked into had stains on the pillows The check in staff didnt even apologise Overall basic hotel. Breakfast had a decent selection. Ok location, close enough walk to the city centre

Good experience Tour guide was energetic and funny Worth it

The chef was very friendly and engaging The food was really good Great experience but we didnt really get to do much cooking. It was more watching the chef, which was nice but would have been good to join in a bit more

Didnt enjoy this Tour guide arrived late Kimkim had the wrong location on the map which confused everything Tour guide wasnt very good Quality of the bikes available was limited

This was an absolute mess Transport didnt arrive Organisation at the venue was piss poor The tango show was good Food wasnt Transport back was useless Terrible experience for what should have been a brilliant night

Really enjoyed this experience and would do it again

Great view and experience The boat trip there was not enjoyable though and the activity at the Estancia was a bit boring Overall was worth going

A must see Only downside was that we were not told about the boat tour to the waterfall and didnt get the response from the tour guide in time to go ahead with it.

Another must see

Perfection! Stunning hotel, very nice employees, terrific spa services. When I needed medicine they even called a pharmacy and had them deliver medicine to me.

A beautiful way to see 3 countries.

Such a unique and interesting place!

Excellent tour, our guide was able to tailor the tour to the changing needs of our whole family throughout the tour. So much great information about the history, architecture, and art of the city. Very helpful guide in all ways with great recommendations! Thank you!!!!

Excellent adventure for our family, the kids absolutely loved it, as did the adults. A great way to see the area up close.

So much to see and a great way to see it and get lots of information!

So lovely, definitely do the boat tour to experience going under the falls! Bring shoes you can get wet along with a change of clothes!

Our favorite hotel of the trip, we could have stayed there for a month.

Come to this hotel to just hang out at the pool! It's one of the top 3 pools I've every seen.

YOU MUST! It was heaven! We couldn't believe it was real the whole time.

Excellent experience - both the show and dinner. Aside from the multiple tango numbers, the singers were also an unexpected bonus and contributed to the positive vibe.

Drop-dead gorgeous scenery. Nice pace for the private tour along with a delicious lunch in Cafayate.

Excellent stops at two wineries as well as a wonderful multi-course lunch with wine parings at Bodega Vistalba.

Spectacular drive. It was great to get to see Aconcagua. What made the trip priceless was our lunch stop in Uspallata where we got to see the second half of the world cup gain and see the joy of the Argentinians when their team won.

We made bread, empanadas and fried dessert. Great classmates and we enjoyed eating our efforts in the courtyard with a glass of wine while watching the meat for our lunch being grilled. Excellent multi-course lunch. Class was to include breakfast, but it was just a basket of bread, so we were really hungry by lunch!

Spectacular drive on a very well-maintenance hairpin road to reach the salt flats. Nice stops for photos throughout as well as ample opportunity to explore once we got there.

Nice visit to both small towns and the surrounding scenery was gorgeous, as were the views all along the way. Unfortunately we didn't make it to Humahuaca in time to see the priest come out of the clock as promised and also learned the 14 color mountain was a separate tour and not included with our day trip. Beyond that though, we really enjoyed the small towns and opportunity to taste the local flavors during our lunch stop.

Great walking tour of the Argentine side of the falls with many opportunities for photos from various vistas.

Nice complement to the Argentine side tour the previous day to get other views of the falls. Unfortunately, we were only informed after booking that the Garganta del Diablo bridge had been damaged and was being repaired, as was another portion of the walking path, which would have been one of the highlights.

Good overview of the city - best to do when you first arrive to get an idea of those areas you'd like to return to.

3 stops - one for empanadas, another for an excellent grilled meat lunch and finally ice cream for dessert. We thought it was going to be small bites at multiple places, but this worked our well and we enjoyed the food at all stops.

Relaxing all day experience with a nice drive out to the estancia. The hostess was fantastic and really worked hard to keep everyone informed and involved. Lovely lunch under the shade of the trees after a quiet horseback ride around the property.

Wonderful guide and experience. Lunch on an isle and in the middle of paradise was terrific!

It was well located and a lot of fun!

Great dinner!

Our guide, Regi, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made it an amazing visit!

This was a great show and an excellent dinner

The hotel lounge was nice but the rooms were very dated and not super cozie (felt more akin to a hostel). They also requested we leave our key at the front desk whenever we left, which we weren't super comfortable with. Staff were all very friendly though.

The setting is beautiful! There was a good breakfast spread as well. Rooms were definitely starting to show age, but they were nice otherwise. The staff was very friendly and even helped arrange a taxi just for an item we left in the room after we had already been taken to the airport.

Our guide was great and kept the group at a comfort but necessary pace. The tour took a bit longer than anticipated, but would have been sooo much longer of we didn't have Lucas to keep us on schedule!

The falls are beautiful and impressive, but the crowds and our guide really detracted from sights for us. It was hard to get a scale of the falls since you are so close to them and don't see the whole expanse until the end. Our guide really rushed us through the park and didn't allow much time for pictures or watching the wildlife. He also took a literal roll-call every 30 minutes or so, so the whole tour felt very micro-managed. By far the best part of the day was the boat ride. Without the boat experience we would have been very disappointed.

This was by far the best part of visiting the falls! The tour was a little intense as they drive literally into the waterfall, but it was definitely exhilarating! You will be soaked, but dry off quickly in the heat.

The show was nice and the food was pretty good. However, there wasn't much excitement or chemistry between the dancers. You could tell it was just another day on the job for them. The highlight was a section in the middle of the show were they show other, more traditional types of dances. The venue is beautiful.

The bike tour was a great way to tour Buenos Aires...which is massive! We only saw a small portion of the City but were able to get a better sense of the areas. The guide was excellent with hand signals, and the pace and difficult level was perfect.

This was a wonderful, multi-part experience. We loved all aspects: the cocktail making, the empanada tutorial, and all the food. The staff were all wonderful and friendly.

The service was great, however we experienced issues with the shower plumbing when we were there that caused the bathroom to flood every time we took a shower.

This resort was really cool but was somewhat isolated from town. We consequently ate at the restaurant multiple times and luckily to food was pretty good there. Pool was a hit aged and needs to be resurfaced

Hotel itself was great, the location was just a little too far out of town to access it easily

We walked over 7 miles in this tour but it was totally worth it. Our guide was so informative and accommodating. We learned so much about the city which made the tour a must do for any visitors.

Our tour guide and the staff at the estancia provided a great experience. We felt like celebrities when we were greeted by the staff upon our arrival at the estancia.

This guide did a great job of navigating the tour in both English and Spanish. Lunch at the Estancia was amazing as well.

Was not a fan of the crowded boat transport but the scenery was amazing.

The scenery and cane lunch were amazing. However, the tour guide provided most of his attention to a Spanish speaking blogger and did not provide much narration in English

This tour requires several miles of walking and our guide was not very helpful at all. In fact she told us we would only get misted in the optional boat tour when in fact we were completely drenched (and consequently not prepared with towels or dry clothes).

This Troy guide what’s much more informative and accommodating. And overall the view/experience from the Brazilian side was much better than from the Argentinian side.

Lovely, comfortable and accommodating. Very nice breakfast buffets.

Very nice. My only complaint is that there were no tissues in the bathroom. We had to purchase some from a store.

Beautiful location. Excellent breakfast. Staff accommodating to assist us.

Nice location. Breakfast buffets we're great. My only complaint is there were no tissues provided in the room or bathroom.

Highlight hotel of the trip - staff and location cannot be beat. Great breakfast and nice amenities (rooftop pool + small gym). Would definitely stay again

Great hotel and place to relax following long hot days at the park

Truly boutique experience in a quiet neighborhood but walkable to downtown Salta

Lovely hotel in a developing area

Great selection led by Jorge (guide), most unusual and remarkable part of our trip. Colors and views are amazing.
