Kimkim Trip Reviews for Argentina

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.

This was our favorite hotel of the trip! Most comfortable bed, hot shower with great water pressure, perfect location on the edge of town so still easily walkable everywhere, delicious breakfast including freshly made eggs upon request, and the owner was so hospitable. We would definitely recommend and would stay here again ourselves should we have the opportunity to return.

Great location on the edge of town and super friendly staff. Comfortable beds and great breakfast. Offer boxed lunches for a fee for the hikes. Very conveniently located near the bus station if you're taking the bus in/out of El Chalten.

Stay here for the views. It's designed so that every room has a great view. While the shuttle to/from the city is a nice option, we only ever used it to go into the city in the morning (never a problem regarding it being too crowded), otherwise just easier to get a taxi. Not the most convenient location from a walkability perspective (to restaurants, etc.) but the views were great. The lobby felt new but the rooms felt a bit old/outdated. Front desk staff was available via Whatsapp which we found extremely helpful for random questions about the hotel and town.

Totally worth it! While it is a long drive, it's scenic and the guide shared lots of history on the way out (in both Spanish & English). So cool to see wild penguins up close. Felt like the guides were very respectful of the penguins' and their environment, prioritizing the penguins over tourist enthusiasm. When we were there in early Nov, it was their nesting season.

Great location, very comfortable!

We might be negatively biased because there was a big storm and a power outage while we were there. There was kind of a weird smell, and the air con struggled a bit. Everything just felt a bit dated. But the staff was friendly and the rooftop pool was nice!

This hotel was extremely modern and fancy and comfortable. Everything was shiny and new and the breakfast was fantastic. Steps from the Subway

Super cute hotel, it was like staying in an art gallery! And on a quiet pedestrian-only street right next to the ascensor.

Our guide was great! Very knowledgeable and friendly and easy to understand. This was just the right length of tour and size of group.

We weren't really sure about this whole thing (tourist trap?) but turns out we loved it! The dancing was incredible and we wouldn't have found that experience elsewhere.

Our guide Daniel was great! We got lucky and had a great view of the mountain that day! The Inca bridge was really cool, and Daniel pointed out lots of other geographic features.

The Olive experience was interesting and delicious. We really liked the first vineyard because it was small and packed with information. Then the lunch afterwards at the larger venue was delicious with spectacular views!!

The tour was full of about 14 people, all of who spoke Spanish except us. So the guide gave 80% of the info in Spanish and only 20% in English. I told him I could understand Spanish if he spoke slowly, so he did slow down a bit for me, but my husband got not much out of it. Also...the tour ends by them dumping you in a tourist trap gift shop for blue stones. (None of our other tours were like this!!) We walked out and found our own way back.

We really loved Santa Rita! We learned a lot on the tour, enjoyed the beautiful garden, and really enjoyed the tasting! Concho y Toro, while super popular and known as a must-see, wasn't our favorite...it felt too corporate. Our guide Vitor was amazing and gave us a ton of additional information!

This had so much great information!! Vitor was the best! We felt like we got to know the whole countryside. We even stopped to feed carrots to llamas! Viña del Mar was beautiful and the lunch worked out great; we loved being able to order what we wanted. The walking tour of Valparaiso provided by Vitor really helped orient us to the city!

We absolutely loved the Bodega RE. The wines were great, the winery guide was great, the place was beautiful. The Bosque winery was pretty but again felt pretty corporate, but the lunch and tour were well done. Our guide/driver Jaime was very informative and friendly and we learned a lot from him!

Hotel was good but the location was on a shady area. Not safe for tourists

Very nice hotel. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend

Loved this hotel. Nice accommodations and really good food. Staff was awesome. Very helpful. Location was great and they provide a shuttle into town and back to hotel.

Amazing hotel. So beautiful. Right in the jungle. Felt very authentic . Food was great. The suite we had was so cool. Spacious and fancy. They put the hot tub on for us . Loved everything about it

They had champagne for us when we arrived. They also upgraded us to a master suite for our honeymoon. So nice! Watched the sunrise on the back porch . Was so amazing and romantic. Resturant was great. Staff took care of us and this was my favorite hotel of the whole trip

The best meal we had all trip

Sweet little hotel, fantastic location in a delightful area with many lovely bars, coffee shops, utterly charming staff, quirky plumbing (but very manageable).

Huge rooms, very clean, set in amongst the forest

One of our more quirky stays. The rooms were huge and unique, decorated with local artefacts. The beds were very comfortable. The air conditioning struggled to cope, but we mentioned it as we were going out and the staff said they would open the windows while the outside was cool , but shut them later and we returned to find fans had been put in the room as well. So 10/10 for doing what they could to help. Layout is curious and one of the pools was out of use, but the other was fine. Again, the shower took some working out, but we got the technique. Sweet, attentive staff and a small, homely feel.

The penguin part of this trip was really good, but because of weather the boat element to see the dolphins we were really looking forwards to was cancelled. We weren’t told and it was only after rather further in the car than expected that we realised we were on a different trip than we thought. There was some confusion and we only then came to know that we had embarked on a different trip which replaced the boat trip with a cultural experience to another town. Given the choice up front we wouldn’t have done it and would have opted to do something else, so this was rather frustrating, but having set off and driven quite far at that stage we went with it. Somewhere along the line the communications had missed us out as obviously the cancellation due to weather couldn’t be helped.

Loved our time with Fernando

Tons of food! Great way to eat your way through BA

Extremely authentic Argentine family dining experience. Fantastic food and wine!

Such a unique experience to see the falls up close we would recommend this to everyone!

This was a very convenient and easy day trip from Buenos Aires that provided a great perspective of a unique area.

This was a fantastic trip to be able to get to hike around Aconcagua! We loved that on the way we had many breaks to stop at towns along the way, explore and have free time. The guide was extremely knowledgeable ! For us this was a hidden gem and other who enjoy the outdoors should absolutely do this!

This a fantastic way to start your trip in Iguazu! Seeing the landscape view is breathtaking and helps put the Argentina side in perspective when you do it the next day.

We loved doing this tour by car reaching many different neighborhoods like a personal hop on and hop off! The guide was extremely knowledgeable and left us time at each place to walk around and explore which we loved!
