Kimkim Trip Reviews for France

The rooms are a bit small if you get a studio. We opted for a 1 bedroom which was just perfect for us. Best part of this hotel was it's location in the city. We thought it would be difficult to be outside the city center, but with the tram being so close, it was not a problem at all! We did not have breakfast at the hotel. It looked wonderful, but we opted to grab something from the local bakery. There were many good restaurants in the area.

The tour to the Pyla sand dunes and Arcachon oysters was really great. Our guide, Kyle, who was Brazilian, was knowledgeable and engaging, making the experience delightful despite some unfortunate weather. Although I'm not a huge seafood fan, the tour itself was incredibly well-organized and worth the trip.

The full private day of exploration in Dordogne and Sarlat was a fantastic experience. We had a great guide, Rudy, who took us to the West Coast and a quaint village. He was charming and knowledgeable, enhancing our trip significantly as we explored the beautiful area. Having a guide made the long day far more insightful and enjoyable.

The visit to La Cité du Vin in Bordeaux was interesting but a bit too much. We stayed for about an hour and enjoyed the wine tastings and the beautifully presented exhibits, but it exceeded our level of interest quite quickly.

This Hotel is amazing the staff were all wonderful providing my needs during my stay. The lady named, Omy kept me updated with what was going on in the area, and she worked hard keeping customer service up to par. Francis and Aman were also awesome, they were both very helpful explaining every details that I did not understand. Highly recommended!

The only golf course that is worth playing is the Le National Albatross Course. However, this golf course need to hire a Marshall to keep the pace of play going. I was following a slow golfers for both of my rounds here, and not fun, when a fast golfer like me had to wait 5 to 10 minutes on every hole. So, I would suggest to let your travel agent know to extend the time to at least 30 to 50 minutes pick up time with your driver after 4 hours if you decide to play golf at Le National Golf Course.

I have no comment on this tour because the tour guide and Eiffel Tower is amazing!

The tour guide was amazing, no other comments.

I love the fact that I did not have to drive the Vintage Car, because I have the knowledgeable driver to drive for me, and I just enjoy the sceneries, and take photos.

I did not have a good experienced on this one because, I went to the right boat, but the lady in front (who were by the entrance) told me that I am on the wrong boat, so I ran to the other boat. But the other boat staff told me to go back to the boat where I came from, which was the right boat to begin with....

Little bit far from town, but otherwise a great place to stay. Very basic, but friendly and kind staff.

We really liked this hotel. Kind staff and good breakfast with a great location. Close to town center maybe two blocks away and also very close to the train station which is super convenient.

It’s located on the ridge between two very different beaches. The old area of Antibes is maybe half of my other way, but it’s a beautiful walk. The staff is very kind and helpful and made all the amenities available essentially at all times. The room we had was clean and neat with a typically strange European set up to the room, but we certainly had everything we needed, and it was a great place to stay!

Really loved this hotel. It’s a small boutique hotel and the staff is very friendly and kind. Breakfast is very good and nice authentic French food very simple as well. The staff are very friendly and kind and helpful. All of them do you speak English but they’re also patient enough to help with someone trying to speak French. The location is really amazing. It is a short walk from the cathedral at Notre Dame or the Louvre museum. We also walked to the Eiffel Tower from here, which is just under a mile I think. Overall wonderful experience.

So cute and cozy, beautifully decorated. Great location! Very clean room. Only docked one star due to having to carry luggage up and down the staircase due to small and slow elevator.

Lots of space, big bathroom with great water pressure. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Great location within walking distance to everything! Docked one star because the shower did not have a door or curtain and the whole floor of the bathroom would get soaked every time we took a shower.

Why is this hotel rated 4 stars? Our first room was handicap accessible so no door nor curtain for shower. Entire floor of bathroom would get wet after each shower. Also the floor to ceiling window had a massive crack in it and the front desk person laughed about the door to the room (also glass) not being easy to lock. We requested a move, which they accommodated the second day of our stay. The new room was beat up and not very clean (dried coffee was in the cups, poop stains in toilet). At check out we were yelled at by the front desk for calling Kim Kim to complain about the accommodations and were scolded and told we should have just told the front desk directly. We did that, which was why we were moved, however thought Kim Kim tram should know if this hotel was a partner of theirs. Aside from all of that, this hotel was not centrally located and about 15-20 min minimum walk to the city center. Would have preferred to stay closer to where everything was versus off beaten path.

The hotel itself was beautiful, as were the main lobby and restaurant spaces, however the room was terrible. The bed was like sleeping on a rock, so uncomfortable that we woke up every morning with back and neck pain. Also there was what looked like a gravestone right out of our window so that was extremely unsettling and maybe too “historic” for us. You could clearly hear your upstairs neighbors moving around. Location was ok, you could walk 10 minutes and see the Notre Dame cathedral as well as the Roman Ruins. The one thing that we did not like about location was when we wanted to go elsewhere outside of old town Lyon, we needed to get Ubers or have multiple train transfers.

Chris was our tour guide. He was a historian and knew fun and interesting facts about London. He was able to keep out teens interested too! Fun experience!

Our guide, Alex, we knowledgeable and entertaining. He relied on our group to determine the trajectory of our tour - within the general parameters set by the tour company - and made our day fee “custom-designed”.

Our tour guide, Emily, was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and gave us very interesting information about the area and its history. We loved it!

Our tour guide was very good! She was efficient in the presentation of the things we wanted to see and I loved all the knowledge she shared about the art and the museum overall. We really enjoyed our time with her.

We were nervous about this as we did not want to have "touristy" experience and the meal and the experience in the boat were amazing. One of our most memorable dinners and experience in Paris!

Loved our chef Gil! We had a great time with him and it was an excellent way to spend time in Provence. We highly recommend this!

Loved the time spent with Kelly. He was so knowledgeable and fun! Would do it again!!

I am a kimkim staff member, and I was on a work trip when I stayed at the Hotel Florence in Nice. This hotel has 2 restaurants below it and is close to the main shopping street of Av. Jean Medecin, which also leads directly to the promenade and Plague Beau Rivage Beach. Accommodations were cozy and functional.

I am a kimkim staff member, and I was on a work trip when I stayed at the NH Collection Marseille is a very nice hotel with great staff members.

This hotel offers a kitchenette for travelers who would like to eat in their rooms. A hot breakfast is also provided in the lobby restaurant.

This hotel is located right off the Bastille Monument. The decor was nice, with a cozy lobby and a large bathroom. The breakfast was fulfilling, and the staff even provided fruit for me when I was leaving before the breakfast was open.

This hotel allowed me to leave my bags at 6:00 am the day I checked in so I could go on a tour. When I arrived, my bags were in my room with a personalized note followed up by a phone call once I was settled in my room, making sure I had everything I needed.

This hotel has a spectacular view of the Pantheon, which is right across the street. The location is close to Notre Dame and Sainte Germain and has a great view of Sacre Cure across the city. I would recommend the top-floor suites, which include a balcony with a spectacular view and a nice sitting area. When you leave the hotel and turn the corner, the Eiffel Tower is in plain view. If you climb the Pantheon Tower, you'll see one of the city's best views.

This hotel was a boutique hotel with lots of character and a location in the city center. Excellent access to shopping, old town, and landmark

The description of this activity isn't accurate. It isn't meant for travelers with physical sensitivities or who have endured recent or ongoing injuries due to the possibility of rough seas on a boat going at a high rate of speed. The excursion takes you to Monocao and lets travelers see super yachts from the water level. Travelers can swim in a cove with a cave and drive past other villages along the French Riviera. Things you see are spectacular, but the possible harm to one's body needs to be considered when booking this trip. The tour operators did not go out of their way to interact with guests or solve problems.

This activity took riders to spectacular views that are not easily accessible and around town for a city tour.

This tour takes travelers to the coast of the French Riviera, Monaco, a perfume factory, and the village ofÈzee. Beach time was not an option, and we were not gone for 10 hours, but still worth it.

This is a very informative tour and would be a great activity upon arrival. The socca that we got to eat was great, and the guide did a great job sharing historical and cultural information.

This tour was informative and enjoyable to see Le Panier neighborhood, the old port, and the Bonne Mère.

I loved riding bikes through the Luberon Valley and visiting the little villages. The e-bikes made the trip easy and fun.

Erin Jordan, the guide in Aix-En-Provence, was excellent! She was knowledgeable and provided history, information on architecture, and insight into the city's economic evolution. She did a wonderful job.

This half-day tour went too fast; if I were to say anything, it would be to allow yourself the full-day tour so you can enjoy all that Cassis has to offer. We took the boat to see the Parc National des Calanques. The blue water was so striking. The village had a great market and neat eateries. We were also taken to the Cap Canaille overlook to see the cove and city and admire the steep drop-off.

The guide was knowledgeable, showed me all the passages or Traboules that made up the city of Lyon, and earned it the UNESCO classification. We talked little about World War II but focused more on the city and the silk industry.

Biking along the Rhône's banks was a treat. This path took the tour along the Rhône River to the Golden Head Park, where there's a free zoo and open space for city dwellers to enjoy.

The experience on the boat provided a great vantage point to see all the buildings along the shore of the Seine River lite up. The food was good, and the live singer created a nice ambience.

Our guide led us through the Sully and Denon wings, seeing all the masterpiece artwork.

This was one of my favorite activities in Paris. The sommelier explained why the wines and cheese come from the different regions in France.

This was a day well spent in Chablis. Our guide did a great job taking us to three different wineries to taste the wines each location produced. We learned about the numerous ways to make wines. It was nice to meander through Chablis, pick a restaurant of our choice for lunch, and, of course, a bakery for dessert.

This was a great tour, introducing me to the essential things about the chocolates and pastries in France. The Guide did a great job leading us to all the different locations to taste the other foods. He included things about history, guided us through a church, and shared historical information about the area.

It was fun to stop at different shops and pick up items for our picnic in the park. We visited a fromagerie, a market for fresh produce, a pâtisserie, a charcuterie, and a wine shop with red and white wine ready to sample.

Monet's paintings come alive when you visit his gardens. I highly recommend this tour to see the flowers and other inspirations in his paintings. The guide did a great job sharing his life story on the bus ride to Giverny. Lunch and the Palace of Versailles were great stops. The guide did well keeping the group on time and ensuring we saw everything necessary.

This tour will take you up the hill step by step to where the Sacre Cure is located. It's interesting to hear the cultural stories of the artists who have lived here in the past. The final stop is the highlight of the tour. It's either the Cathedral or the view of Paris- probably both!

The hotel was clean and the location was great but there are very few amenities and seems to attract older clientele. The rooms and bathrooms are very small.

This is a great hotel - location is perfect, staff are amazing and it has everything you would need.

This was a great introduction to Paris and was a great event on the first day we arrived in Paris.

The guide did not appear all that interested in giving a tour and did not appear to be very knowledgeable which was disappointing. It is such a neat area.

Victor was amazing. Very passionate about The Louvre and his knowledge was through the roof. Very, very good guide.

Our guide was very good. She really knew the area and understood vineyards and winemaking.

Ask for a room with a view of the sea. It’s beautiful to watch the sun rise & set. Breakfast was plentiful & delicious! Convenient location so that most places were within walking distance.

Good location. Delicious breakfast. Small rooms. No decks unless you get room 404 upstairs. Otherwise it’s a tiny room but a good location.

My favorite activity on the itinerary. Loved our visit to the Farmer’s market & how we brought home our provisions & he directed our cooking. Delicious!!

The hotel was beautiful, very parisian and great spot by the metro!

Didier was absolutely wonderful as well as his translator. Learned sooo much from him, tried the baguettes and took the hotel baguettes as well. He also gave us the recipes to make at home!

It was also very authentic, wonderful, helpful!!

So fun and pretty to experience. We were able to go around 8:30 pm which was great timing to catch the Eiffel Tower light up around 8:45-9pm. I kind of wish we could have arrived a day or 2 earlier before doing this as we were very sleepy during the tour since it was our first day in Paris.

I loved going into French based fragrance and jewelry stores where we made some purchases. I'm not sure I learned any specifics of French fashion which I kind of though I would but I liked our guide Sabine and how she was told us about the area and the unique shops. She was able to arrange an chocolate demonstration and tasting for us which was very cool.

Cassis and the Calanques were great! I also really enjoyed tasting the Cassis wines.

Front desk staff was awesome!

I didn't quite enjoy the Lagrange apart'HOTEL. It felt more like an extended stay place for students or nurses, which was a stark contrast to the beautiful B&Bs we had been staying in. The carpets were stained, and it just didn't match the charm of our other accommodations. Plus, being right in the middle of downtown was a bit overwhelming.

Annecy was absolutely beautiful. Even though my wife was feeling unwell and it was raining, we still managed to enjoy most of our walking tour. The guide was great, and the town itself is picturesque. We could have easily stayed there for several more days. It was just that charming.
