Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Beautiful. Space very tight

Great little hotel in an out of the way location

Lovely staff beautiful hotel. Great view of. The acropolis

Very informative on archeology and history. Charming. Not a oerson who should be giving food tour . Selections marginal.

The woman was lovely, the secrets of Plaka and Anafiotika was fascinating. The wines were very mediocre. We are at a luxury level tour and the wine selection was not appropriate.

Charming and informative driver to Delhi. Driver fro Delphi to Meteora less talkative but still lovely.

Trip was enjoyable. Young man leading hike. Original destination too difficult for us, but alternative was great.

While he knew history and local color, the food was not great . When we took your food tour in Portugal, we sampled foods from different parts of the city, different cultures represented there. Instead in Thessaloniki we sat at a restaurant for most of the time without even a suggestion as to what we should order. No history of the place we were eating etc.

Awesome day. Both driver and guide very informative and interesting people. The guide even invited us to his apartment afterwards. A wonderful day. Highly recommend.

Herodion had outstanding food, location, and service to Acropolis and Athens City Center, but wifi was sub standard.

Andreas made our family trip of seven unforgetable. Tour all over Aegina was amazing. All 7 adults of various ages had an incredible memorable time.

Beautiful hotel, clean, relaxing and 5-star comfortable. Views are amazing; as is the staff, room, infinity pools, restaurant/bar (delicious breakfast!). Close to the beach, port, town-center, fresh restaurants and shopping. Can't wait to come back. Highly recommend for the perfect stay!

Unfortunately, we were not able to try out all the places listed because we started late and many were closed. Missed the market and would have liked more local restaurants with local specialities. The ones that we tried though, were spot-on!

Canceled due to weather. Kimkim quickly refunded.

We reviewed the itinerary and it looked amazing. However, we were so comfortable in Naoussa and the Senia Hotel we never took the tour, and just enjoyed the relaxation and getting to know the town.

Excellent guide! Kept up with the time, but allowed for ample breaks (much needed climbing the Acropolis, which was amazing and a must-do). Awesome knowledge and historical architecture. Pleased Greece keeps up the restoration after 3,000+ years. A full day could be spent in the Acropolis Museum. Very inspiring.

Absolutely AWESOME! Even cold, windy weather couldn't keep us away. George Kokkos as tour guide/driver was AMAZING! He was so friendly, intelligent and knowledgeable about all of Greece, a pleasure to be with. He could explain history and facts about Greek mythology, philosophy, history - more than we could take in. The astrologer and his guide were also very friendly and knowledgeable. He made constellations look easy, and I can even point some out now that I did not know about. This was truly a tour of a lifetime!

Everything was right in place and perfect.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and loved it. It is a small hotel in Galaxidi, a block from the harbor and restaurants. The staff are friendly and they serve a wonderful breakfast in the courtyard of the hotel.

Very nice hotel in a great location at the foot of the Acropolis on a quiet street. There is a rooftop restaurant and bar with a great view of the Parthenon. The Acropolis museum is a block away as is the Plaka neighborhood. Would definitely recommend it and stay there again. Delicious and extensive breakfast buffet.

Beautiful old (but updated) hotel in a central but quiet location. Friendly and helpful staff. Extensive breakfast buffet with indoor and outdoor eating areas. The queen bed was 2 single beds pushed together.

Very nice, clean, and updated hotel in the old town. The old town is on a hill and the hotel is up the hill, so there are many steps to climb to get to it when on foot, but there is an area where cars are allowed a block away which makes it easier to move luggage to/from a car or taxi. Furthermore, as it is on the hill it is much quieter than other hotels in the area would be. The steps lead down to the historical area and waterfront, where there are many good restaurants. The hotel provides a very nice breakfast buffet. It also offers same-day laundry service at a reasonable price, which is very helpful.

The main attraction of this hotel is that it is located by the port where the ferries come through and near to the airport (to which it offers a shuttle service) o it is good for people in transit. Rooms are small, but clean and comfortable, and there is a nice breakfast buffet. Wifi was poor and intermittent, so we constantly lost connection and had to reconnect.

We did not know what to expect from this activity and were pleasantly surprised. One of the owners sat with us to talk us through the history of the family olive farm. He explained to us differences in olives based on when and how they are harvested and talked about differences in olive oils. He provided samples of olives and of the oil to taste so we could appreciate the differences, along with a nice lunch that included olive preparations and wine. The lunch was in a beautiful location overlooking a valley of olive trees and, out over the water to Galaxidi. We were on a shaded veranda, which provided a nice break from the sun.

Our tour guide Tina met us at our hotel and walked with us the short distance to the Acropolis. We were scheduled to be with her for 4 hours to tour the Acropolis hill and the museum, but she stayed with us for over 5 hours. Tina is very knowledgeable and gave us a detailed explanation of everything we were seeing, putting it all in a historical context. She pointed out places of interest in the city that could be seen from the Acropolis Hill and patiently fielded many questions from our group of 4. She was the best of the 4 tour guides we had during our trip.

This was a semi-private outing for 5 hours. The 4 of us were joined by 3 others. They picked us up at the port very near by our hotel. There was ample room on the boat. We sailed out from Nafplio around the coast to Tolo and back, stopping in several places to allow for swimming, though it was too cold for most to get in. Teodoro and Mario were wonderful crew and made us all at home. They served fruit, snacks, and lunch with wine or beer. It was a beautiful day to be out on the water. We motored for 3/4 of the trip and went on sail power for the balance. Overall it was a great way to spend a day in Nafplio. Highly recommend.

This private class was one of the highlights of our trip! Costas and his wife were welcoming and warm. We prepared 4 dishes with everyone participating and Costas provided pointers on food prep that we will continue to benefit from. One of our party is gluten-free and Costas had adjusted the menu accordingly and also provided them with gluten-free bread. Two of our party never cook or do food prep, but he made them comfortable with slicing and dicing as well as braising and making a delicate lemon sauce. They discovered how enjoyable cooking can be. The food was absolutely delicious, and possibly the best meal we had in Greece. We made stuffed zucchini with lemon sauce as an appetizer, a lamb dish (with the lamb falling-off-the-bone tender), a Greek salad, and a frozen yoghurt desert. My husband does not like lamb but loved this dish, making him re-think his approach to lamb. Costas had us prepare a special take on a Greek salad that included a cool cucumber and basil soup, and it was fabulous. We had 4 Greek wines paired with each of the four dishes, and Costas explained to us how and why each wine was appropriate for that dish.

Beautiful views from our balcony. Excellent breakfast as well

This is a must when in Athens

Hotel is centrally located to the harbor and all shops and restaurants. The room is clean and quiet even with balcony, you could barely hear any noise from outside. Staff at the reception and restaurant are all courteous and kind, always wearing smiles. Highly recommended!

Fufu and Maria have been very courteous and welcoming. Always has suggestions and recommendations for us to try. Hotel is tiny but clean and quiet while centrally located at the city centre.

Waaahhh, this place is perfect to pause and relax. Christos and Eva have been both extremely warm and friendly! Christos was always helpful, he toured us around, gave us recommendations where to eat, gave us directions where to walk around. He kept us safe althroughout our tour around Santorini, making sure we have the best experience. Hotel was quiet and serene, away from the busy villages. It was kept clean everyday. Foods served were fresh every morning. Overall, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The best hike ever! It was all worth it with the majestic view of nature, God’s handiwork!

It can get crowded but overall a great experience!

Apostolos our guide was amazing! Kept us safe althroughout the tour. Very kind and friendly.

Amazing tour!! We loved Johanna our tour guide. Very engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. She made us feel very comfortable with asking questions!

We love cooking so this was definitely a very meaningful highlight of our trip! Chef Chris was fantastic. He was very personable and passionate about Mediterranean cuisine. He gave us very clear instructions during the cooking process and even handed out recipe cards at the end of the tour which we appreciated! The opportunity to enjoy the whole lunch with gorgeous views atop the restaurant was an added bonus to the experience! Perfect group size too, allowed for a more personalized experience.

Right in the heart of the city. Perfect location. Balcony view of the Rocca mare fortress.

Lovely hotel, excellent staff and fantastic location.

Chania is a lovely city with all its quaint alleyways and streets.

It was a very interesting excursion where we learned about the local way of producing olive oil, Raki etc. The countryside was beautiful which we would not have seen if we had not gone on the excursion.

Great location and delicious breakfast.

Great breakfast and very nice staff

The absolute most beautiful hotel that I ever stayed in.

Great location

So fun and informative. The hosts were amazing

I learned so much.

It’s a quaint place, I enjoyed the lobby area for breakfast, which was always tasty. It was a good spot, walking distance to everything we wanted to explore.

I loved the pool. The location was nice, just a walk away to town, even though the walk was on the road, and down a hill.. but the hotel was nice. We would have liked a better view instead of a parking lot, a palm tree and over looking the bar tender.

This room was the most spacious, with a big living area with three extra twin size beds, and a king size room, two bathrooms and a private searing area to our room was nice. The balcony wasn’t so “private” it should be called personal instead, as people can see us and we can see them.

Small rooms and almost no amenities, but it was clean, well-run, and in a great location.

The guide was fantastic, the food was great, and it was easy for the family (13-year old twins) to have fun with it.

The trip was great, but really it was the local driver/guide who made this special.

The trip was great, but really it was the local driver/guide who made this special. Thank you, Lia!

Amazing staff, comfy rooms, excellent rooftop restaurant with spectacular view.

Charming rooms. Friendly and helpful staff that share their love of the island.

Beautiful rooms. Modern vibe with the crisp white and light wood accents. Breakfast in the morning was delicious, pool was amazing and Chris at the poolside bar was fun, kind and always made sure we had what we needed! 120 stairs will help keep you in shape! Take your time and enjoy the view on your way up and on your way down as it is amazing!

Faye was amazing and her knowledge and love of Greece that she shared with us made our experience truly amazing. Would recommend her to everyone!

Katia is an amazing ambassador for Naxos. Her love os the island, the people and local businesses that are her neighbors was palpable during our tour. It felt like we were walking the neighborhoods visiting friends and stopping for a bite to eat or a cup of coffee as we winded our way through history. I highly recommend Katia to guide you through life and history in a fun and friendly way!

The tour with Elsa was great. Learning about how advanced a “buried” city was is truly amazing and humbling at the same time. Leaning about the different areas was interesting and the way the circular close to the ground grape vines is very inventive and shows the tenacity and resilience of the people od Santorini.

This hotel is great value, 5 star service and amenities but much lower nightly rate than some other nearby hotels

This was such a great tour - our guide, Nicole, was so knowledgeable and it was great to have the driver so we could see so much more of the island in a short time

We didnt know this was the same tour/agency as our Antiparos/boat tours but were so pleased to learn it was the same driver and tour guide! Nicole and Athanassios were great company, very knowledgeable, provided bottles of water, and because we were the only ones on the tour, took a stop to find some fun snacks and dropped us off at their recommendation for lunch, rather than returning to our hotel!

Immaculate room with balcony. Very comfortable, felt like home. Included a delicious breakfast. Rooftop bar and restaurant with views of the Parthenon. Had one of the best meals of my trip at this restaurant.

Our room had a patio overlooking the beach and Mediterranean Sea. Room was very clean and fresh. Ate breakfast (included) outside everyday right on the beach and by the water. Food was delicious.

The room was so modern and beautiful and had a large patio overlooking the other islands and caldera. The hotel/rooms were built on the side of the cliff so there were many steps. The pool had a beautiful view and there was a bar where you could also order lunch type meals. Food/drinks were great and Chris, the bartender, provided excellent service. Breakfast was also included and very good.

a lot of steps but worth it. tour guide was very informative and fun. Enjoyed the Acropolis Museum and all the stories about the Gods and Goddesses.

Loved this hotel. Clean and quiet and lovely, courteous staff. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved this hotel. Was in a great location and we had a nice balcony that looked over the shopping area of Chania (which was fun) AND it was super quiet.

Loved this hotel and the view from the restaurant was the Acropolis in the background! The staff was amazing and courteous. The rooms were very spacious and clean and the breakfast was an incredible spread of pastries, eggs, fruit, cereals, yogurt, etc. The location was also very central to everything we wanted around Plaka. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved this quaint hotel on the top of the mountain. The view from our room was looking out over Nafplio and the water. Absolutely stunning. The staff was so courteous and helpful and the breakfast was delicious with homemade breads, eggs, fruit and yogurt. We loved the location and loved exploring Nafplio and swimming in the sea. It may be a difficult hotel to stay in for someone with mobility issues as there are a lot of stairs. We would definitely stay here again. Loved it!

This was a nice tour of the 7 villages. It was informative and the guide was knowledgeable about local customs. We enjoyed seeing the ruins and the old church in the cave. I wish I had known that there is a lot of time in the van and that we would be stopping to eat 4 times ( coffee, bread sampling, cheese sampling and lunch) . The tour lasted about 7 hours.

Ms Zakia was incredible! She knows Greek history so well. She had a fun way of incorporating the old and the new history and had a delightful personality. We learned so much about the Acropolis and loved walking through the back streets and maneuvering through crowds. I would definitely recommend taking a tour with her!

Loved the tour…our guide was fabulous and patient!

I was so personal and our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable! Loved every second!

The crew was very attentive and answered any questions or concerns

Loved the hotel and staff! The only suggestion i would make is there are a lot of steps going up & down not a lot of handrails…might want ti check on ages and disabilities ! Lived the pool and rooms

Thank you to everyone who made our adventure there amazing! To our hotel concierge & staff we appreciate everything you did! Especially our adventure to Poniros as a recommendation for the best jewelry shopping! My ring is stunning & one of a kind!

The staff was lovely! Not the same as the others. Bed uncomfy and we missed cold potable water at our beck and call/room service or even room phones to ask questions. The island was beautiful.. just alot more laid back. We did our souvenir shopping here because the island/city areas economy was a lot less luxurious & even busy! Which was a nice change but we missed a couple little things. Comforts & Water 💧.

I wish we actually got to sleep & enjoy this location but we stayed up, curled in bed & ordered Vietnamese food because we were exhausted & knew our flights, leaving hotel in Athens, were at 2am. Longgg ride home in a really cozy plane!

I wish we spent a little more time here!!

Our absolute favorite! Our guide, I wish i knew her name so i could recommend her, was extremely knowledgeable about all details, history, architecture, agriculture, wine & it’s history of being the “oldest vines known” because of the lack of soil in Santorini and the roots growing in the constantly spongey/damp pumice stone of the lava landscape.. every little bit of information we soaked it up! I wish I had her with us our entire trip! She took great pictures for us & others. So incredibly kind and if we had the chance would have made lifelong friends! I’d love her name and to find her on Facebook etc!!

Very nice, comfortable and chic hotel.

The hotel was no frills, basic and clean.

The hotel is nice but next to the airport - when a plane has recently landed you smell jet exhaust. Lighting was barely existent in bathroom (by design), so it was difficult to see for tasks. Breakfast was very tasty. Location required taxi into town, longish walk to beach area. Sheets and towels were not white, rather dirty-grey. I think this may have been part of their ecological drive to not use bleach - just seemed less appealing. Loved the semi-private pool and landscaping.

Overall design of hotel is cool but room design is very impractical. We had a “wellness suite” on 2 floors. Entry floor features the bathroom sink in the middle of the room, too much furniture but no place to store clothes or even put suitcases (had to put one on the sofa, the other on floor next to bathroom door). Bathroom is impossibly small. Bed area upstairs features small queen bed that is “cocooned” by glass half-wall on sides and feet. Must be extremely difficult for housekeeping staff to change bed linens and clean. Small toilet next to bed area impossibly small. Jacuzzi bath on balcony had zero privacy from people walking around hotel. Yoga ball and foam roller took up too much space, as well as 2 nesting coffee tables, rocking chair and sofa bed. As an adult-only hotel, I wondered why the need for a sofa bed, so many coffee tables if only max two persons in room? This was probably meant to be the nicest hotel of our trip but the Collection (Domes) is trying too hard to be something the travelers are not - funky.

Fun, informative and exactly what we’d expected
