Highlight of Madrid- our guide was engaging and fun - the choice varied and all the people in the restaurants were friendly

We had to change the date and time of the tour and the support person at KimKim was right on it and made it happen. Our guide Alberto was thorough

Because it was winter there was no one at the winery which made it special. Our guide was so knowledgeable and gave a good history of the area. Wines were superb!

This hotel is in a fabulous location with a helpful staff and clean, comfortable accommodations.

This hotel was right outside the bustling Piazza Bellini—which was full of local life and markets/food. We loved the courtyard, which immediately provided a respite from the busy city, and our flat, which was cozy, clean and very comfortable.

We loved the charm of this place and the friendly people who greeted us every time we came and went. Again, super helpful folks with great suggestions—who made reservations for us so we could enjoy the 3 Kings parade as soon as we got to town.

We loved this whole evening—it was the perfect start to our trip and a great introduction to Rome. Silvia, our guide, was the best—she was kind, funny, and gave great information about the food and history around the neighborhoods where we ate. We had our 16 and 19 year old with us who also loved the entire experience (and Silvia!). This was a trip highlight for all of us—highly recommend!

This was just a fabulous experience. Dennis, our tour guide, was excellent—in demeanor and knowledge. Again, my kids really enjoyed his commentary, which says a lot. We visited on a crisp sunny day and enjoyed the whole thing. We didn’t realize we would have an ear piece to hear him and we loved it—there were a lot of people around but it didn’t matter!

modern hotel with all amenities, amazing, helpful, attentive staff. Delicious breakfast and dinner service

Our guide Geze, was so friendly and knowledgeable - the day was actually quite cold and drizzly, but he kept it moving along and it was quite enjoyable. Had lots of tips for hidden restaurants, bars, etc... we took his advice on a few of them! Funny to see how the guides from different tours all know one another and greet each other

Didn't know much about Gaudí prior to this trip, but have come away with a new found appreciation for his genius

great way to meet other fellow travelers and have a good time, make some new friends, go out for a drink afterwards. It was so much fun. Our guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable

The "Get to Know Lisbon with a Local" tour was a great way to explore the city’s rich history and hidden gems. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, offering fascinating insights into Lisbon’s culture and landmarks. However, the pace felt a bit slow for our group, and there was a lot of walking, which might not be ideal for everyone. That said, it’s a wonderful experience for history buffs or anyone looking to dive deep into Lisbon’s story. Overall, an informative and enjoyable tour, but best suited for those who appreciate a slower, detailed exploration.

The Portugal Scenic Trails: Sintra Coastal Hike was an absolute highlight of our trip! Our guide was incredible—thoughtful, attentive, and adaptive to our group, which included both older and younger travelers. They ensured the pace was comfortable for everyone while keeping the adventure exciting. The scenic views along the Sintra coast were breathtaking, and the guide’s insights into the area’s natural beauty and history made it even more special. The picnic was the cherry on top—a delicious and relaxing moment surrounded by stunning landscapes. This hike was the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and connection with nature. Highly recommend for groups looking for an unforgettable outdoor experience!

The Tapas & Flamenco Experience in Seville was just okay. The tapas were just a light snack, but not particularly memorable, and we felt the selection could have been more diverse. The flamenco performance was passionate and authentic, but the venue felt a bit cramped and didn’t quite capture the vibrant energy we were expecting. Overall, it was a decent way to spend an evening, but it didn’t stand out compared to other experiences on our trip.

The Private Lisbon Culinary Food Experience was absolutely amazing! We savored authentic Portuguese dishes, explored local markets, and learned about Lisbon’s rich food culture from our fantastic guide. The highlight was a hands-on cooking session where we made traditional dishes and enjoyed them together. It was delicious, fun, and truly immersive—a must-do for food lovers in Lisbon!

The Private Guided Visit of Seville was a pleasant experience that gave us a great overview of the city’s rich history and stunning architecture. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about landmarks like the Alcázar and the Seville Cathedral. The pace was comfortable, and the guide tailored the experience to our interests. While it wasn’t the most exciting tour we’ve done, it was well-organized and provided valuable insights into the city. A solid option for those looking to explore Seville with a local expert!

The Private Local Market Visit & Cooking Class was hands-down the highlight of our trip! This experience was the perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and connection. Exploring the local market with our guide was so much fun—learning about fresh, regional ingredients and selecting the items we’d use later was an adventure in itself. The cooking class was equally incredible! The hands-on experience of preparing traditional dishes under the guidance of a skilled and personable chef was both educational and entertaining. Everyone in our group, from seasoned cooks to beginners, had an amazing time. The best part? Sitting down together to enjoy the delicious meal we created—it felt like a true celebration. This activity brought us closer as a group and gave us memories (and recipes!) that we’ll cherish forever. A must-do for anyone visiting and looking for an authentic, interactive experience!

Incredible spa hotel in the lovely town of Castelrotto. Rooms were exquisite and spa well appointed. The extraordinary gourmet meals were really the highlight of the stay however. Would highly recommend taking advantage of the half board option which gave us access to a 5-course tasting menu each night for 25Euros each.

Terrific location close to il Duomo with a comfortable room with a lovely view of the Piazza San Lorenzo.

Having been dropped off at the gated entrance to the village of Montepulciano by our driver, our quest to reach the hotel walking up cobbled streets with luggage in tow made it a challenging location. That said the views from our room at sunrise of the Valdichiana and from the patio of the adjacent restaurant/wine bar of the Val d'Orcia at sunset were quite beautiful.

Location is great, with nice public space, lovely roof-top breakfast area and professional staff. The Classic room, though more economical, was really quite small.

Our guide, Emanuela, on the hikes to the Alpe di Suisi and Seceda Spires ensured we were able to take in the most stunning vistas as she shared historical and cultural information about this unique region. She checked in to make sure the pace aligned with needs. Felt like we were taking a hike with a good friend through breathtaking scenery.

Cristiano was terrific! He provided great details on the history, culture, preparation for the 2026 Olympic games and insights into the industry of each community we passed as he carefully navigated the winding roads of the Dolomites as we made our way from Castelrotto to Cortina and ultimately to Venice. Cristiana made sure to stop and allow us to take photos at some of the most scenic locations and waited patiently as we strolled around Cortina and had lunch. He carefully coordinated our time of arrival in Venice with the water taxi and helped us carry our luggage from the car to the taxi.

We were delayed arriving at the meeting place given the rain, significant distance of our hotel from San Marco Square, and faulty GPS directions. Our guide was very accommodating however waiting for us. Though her narration of the buildings we were passing was good, the significant rainfall and our inability to see the sights through the condensation forming on the windows made it one of the least enjoyable of our activities.

Although our guide was very knowledgeable, given the poor quality of the headsets our small group was issued, it was very difficult to hear her.

Was changed to be Tour of the Uffizi Gallery followed by a private discovery walk of Florence at Night. Our guide, Paola, skillfully negotiated the crowds with our group of four to ensure we were able to see the Renaissance masterpieces of Botticelli, DaVinci, Raphael and Titan, offering expert insights into each. This was followed by a private walk from the Piazza della Signoria to the Ponte Vecchio.

Artisan tour of the mosaic laboratory and paper workshop were particularly interesting. Our guide from LivTours enabled us to see artisans working behind the scenes. Remarkable to see the processes still employed since the days of the Medici.

We were fortunate to have Marco Vangi drive us from Florence to Montepulciano with stops in Siena and San Gimignano with a winery lunch and tasting at Tenuta Tociano in between. Despite the occasional downpour, the drive through the Tuscan countryside was lovely. Wine tasting experience was also enjoyable.

Cooking class at the Podere Il Casale in Pienza was wonderful. Our delightful host showed us the farm and process for making cheese, and then put us to work chopping/preparing and then enjoying the most amazing Italian feast and wines with six new friends. What a unique, fun way to wrap up our Tuscan experience.

Enjoyed the ease of taking a golf cart to quickly take in vistas of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, Spanish Steps and some of the current excavations taking place. However felt a little exposed at times.

Favorite hotel of the trip - beautiful room and very helpful staff.

Hotel was almost on top of major roads and even with double windows it was loud (especially trying to go to bed early for 3 am wake up)

awesome - learned so much and ate amazing food. Tried so many new things.

group was very large so hard to follow at times - would have been better with a smaller group

local guide Omar was fabulous. Went out of his way to be sure we say everything we wanted and help my son go back to riad when he did not feel well

Was a group tour and guide did not have great English. Only about 40 minutes long

Best tour of trip - we ate so much and had so much fun. Tried tons of food I would have never tried and had the most amazing couscous ever. Do not miss this?
