Kimkim Trip Reviews

Excellent experience on this cruise, not only they were very attentive and organized but also the activities were great and the food as well.

The tour guide was amazing on all recomendations about food! Would not be better. I was very pleased with the attention!

The experiences regarding Tea, Tofu, cycling, Rice wine and Cooking class were awesome!

The Boat Experience was fantastic as well as the visit to the temples!

A MUST in Vietnam! Worth every minute

Great Experience to get to know more about Vietnam Culture!

Clean, good location, friendly people - great launching off point for our trip to Torres del Paine

Good location, very good breakfast - fresh fruit and veggies!

A well-located hotel right at the trail head of the W trek. The restaurant was good but expensive. The hotel staff was rather unhelpful. Both before planning our trip and while we were at the hotel, they didn't seem to know what was going on. When we had questions about hikes, or the national park, the referred us to the "excursions" desk in another part of the hotel. The people selling excursions would really only help with things they sold, and even at that, didn't provide accurate info. Finally, the hotel was pretty expensive and we thought they would be more helpful, "I don't know the answer, but let me find it for you". was not in their vocabulary. They also Forgot to give us our 1st day box lunch, even though we asked for it, and two times gave us inaccurate bills in the restaurant.

This is a clean hotel in the middle of town. If you want a hotel with more amenities or a view, you need to stay elsewhere. That said, the staff was amazing. When we arrived, our assigned room was very dark and small and the manager found us another room with much more light. Thank you! Also, the staff provided great hiking and transportation information and were very accommodating.

Beautiful hotel in north Bogotá. Staff was attentive and very kind to us during our stay. Hope to stay here again next time.

The location of this hotel was great and is aesthetically pleasing- it’s absolutely beautiful. The bar is fun and I loved the breakfast. There is a beautiful lounge area on the roof where we also got incredibly relaxing massages! Only personal issue I had was the lunch/dinner menu had very little selections for anyone who doesn’t eat sea food which unfortunately is me, so we had no choice than to find food somewhere else every night. One night during our stay, there was someone spackling a wall around 1:00 in the morning which led to my husband and I being woken up to noise outside our door. At some point another hotel guest (who sounded intoxicated) was talking loudly with whoever was working in the hall way, but she moved on after a few minutes. Another night someone was on their phone from 3-4 in the morning outside her door. I was surprised none of the staff asked the person to take their call inside their room or to step outside the hotel to not disturb the other hotel guests, but no one did. I had no choice than to ask the woman myself to please be quiet. Also, the room for some reason got VERY hot in the middle of the night, but was freezing during the day (which wasn’t bad because it was so hot outside). You do not have control over the temperature in your own room, which was not preferable. Lastly, my husband had a very slight altercation with one of the bartenders whom refused to give my husband the correct amount of change and said “tip” when my husband asked for the change back. My husband explained and showed the bartender that he had already placed a tip in the tip jar, but the bartender shrugged and still didn’t not give my husband his change. It was just a rude interaction especially being that they have signs on the bar stating you can tip as little or as much as you please, or not tip at all. It was distasteful. Overall our stay here was pleasant, but I’m not sure it would be #1 choice if we came back to Cartagena.

I LOVED our stay here! The villas offer stunning views of the mountains and the food was phenomenal and fresh. I just want to highlight Nico for a moment here… Nico (and some fun furry friends!) gave us a tour of the coffee farm and we learned SO much about what goes into the delicious I consume daily.. Nico was just a kind soul and his energy was calming and he genuinely wanted to teach us about the farm and their goal for delivering the most delicious organic coffee to Colombia; he was simply amazing. I will never forget my time spent here. 100% would come back for another stay.

Our first stay was better than the second. The first stay was in the newly renovated part and the accommodations were great. Not in the old part of the hotel

Loved the tour, the winery tour and the tour guide

great location with good restaurant and bar.

Great breakfast, view from our room of the lake and volcanoes, and great location to access the town.

Cool, hip hotel with its' design and materials. Long walk from town. Needs a better sauvignon blanc wine on the menu.

Beautiful, relaxing setting with lap pool, gardens, and on-site restaurant. Great wine!!

wine tasting with Pablo Took a day trip to Valparaiso...very entertaining. Strongly recommend.

Too many stairs and guide fixated on spiders.

Jass was great but fjord but was wide and large and did not feel very intimate for a kayaking trip.

Presented with a menu of possible activities the first evening, We chose the most difficult hike up to the base of the three towers of Torres del Paine. It was a 14 mile round trip hike with sunshine and warmth on the hike up with the last mile picking our way up over giant boulders and the last two hours in a cold rain with driving wind. One of the most difficult hikes I have ever done especially at age 71 but we were rewarded with some magnificent views, incredible scenery, and a sense of accomplishment at the end. It was 10 hours of hiking interrupted with a half-hour lunch. Nicholas was our young guide at 24 years of age and I think he worried we were going to collapse. So did we. :) The next day we took a tour of Puerto Natales downtown and enjoyed visiting the museum and shopping for souvenirs.

Best day of the trip for me with phenomenal trout fishing, beautiful serene setting, and abundant wildlife. The guide was especially skilled and helpful. Would recommend highly to all those interested in one of the greatest fishing trips of their life. I used a spinning rod and reel since I am not especially skilled at fly fishing.

My wife took this trip and enjoyed it.

Wife took this trip and enjoyed it.

We checked all the boxes on waterfalls, mountain views, and wildlife.

Enjoyed taking this informative hike with Pablo and Jorge in a visitor restricted area.

Setting, atmosphere, people and food were delicious! The food was some of the best we had on the entire trip.

Powerful experience

It may help some travelers to have a bit more information about traditional homes and being culturally immersed in this experience. At moments it felt as if we were on a humanitarian tour not a holiday.

It was such a hot part of the day they only thing that seemed good to do was be poolside or indoors.

Great fun! Felt as if we were doing something that the locals do. The weather and sunset were fabulous.

I did not attend. Don and I completed a rating for this on the paper feedback form we submitted.

We went on the hanging bridges, and ziplining at sky adventures. It was absolutely amazing. The guides in Costa Rica really work hard to show you what is out there. During the hanging bridges we walked through the rainforest, and our guide Carlos so much informative. He told us lots of interesting facts, and pointed out so many creatures in the forest. We saw a tarantula, 2 different viper snakes, he kept us at safe distances, and took pics for us. The groups for our walk was small, so you could really be involved, the groups for the ziplining are much bigger, so you do a lot of waiting. The ziplining was lots of fun, and all the guides were really good. I would highly recommend you visit this place, as there's lots of different activities you can try. The shuttle to and from our hotel was great.

I loved this hotel. Tastefully and beautifully decorated in an interestingly historical style with helpful and friendly staff. A little oasis of calm in Jaipur.

Great opportunity to try lots of different local delicacies!

A great way to see Delhi highlights especially if short on time with a wonderful guide who gives you insights into what you are seeing.

New and modern hotel located outside central Cairo. Spacious rooms, good food, and near the mall of Egypt should you need to purchase something that you forgot to pack. Selected this hotel since we were interested in visiting Saqqara/Memphis & Giza and wanted to avoid the traffic in central Cairo as much as possible. Only downside is that if you need to go into central Cairo, you will be joining the rush-hour traffic in the morning to visit the museums in the city.

Comfortable cabin, everything worked as designed. There were no problems or issues. The crew was very courteous and efficient. I would not hesitate to spend another Nile cruise on the Radamis.

Nice, modern hotel in Luxor.

Wonderful hotel in the center of Amman. Great staff and amenities. I will stay at this hotel again when in Amman.

Fascinating hotel with charming rooms, great staff and facilities.

Modern hotel near the airport. Very close to the sites on the east side of the Nile River and the airport. Chose this hotel to avoid as much traffic as possible while visiting old Cairo and the civilization museum. The drive to the airport was only about 20 minutes with traffic and checkpoints.

Some of the sites in Sakkara were closed when visiting, will have to return when the Grand Egyptian Museum is open.

The old Egyptian museum still had many great exhibits but you could tell they were moving items to the Grand Egyptian museum which was not open yet. It was still very impressive and I would recommend a visit even when the grand Egyptian museum is open. The citadel and the Mohammad Ali masque were very interesting and beautiful. The Khan Khalili market was the typical tourist market that sold things that could be purchase elsewhere in Cairo. The visit could be skipped if you are not looking for souvenirs.

Very impressive sites

Impressive sites. Could have spent a lot more time exploring the different areas at each temple.

Very amazing to see the old tombs in such good condition. Purchase the addional King Tut ticket to visit his toomb.

Valley of the queens was just as interesting as valley of the kings. The temple in Dendera was a bonus. If you arrive at the valley of the kings early enough, you can visit the Valley of the Queens the same day. The village of the artisans / tomb workers was also very interesting as you are able to visit the tomb of the head of the workers. It was very interesting to see a less opulent tomb for a commoner.

Amazing to see the roman ruins in the center of the city. Very reminiscent of Rome. Amman appears to be a very modern city with excellent infrastructure. Arrival and transfer to hotel was very easy and smooth. Local representative handled visa and customs.

The citadel provides an excellent view of Amman, and the museum provides an overview of the civilizations that thrived in Jordan. Since it had snowed, we were unable to visit Ajloun castle so more time was spend at Jaresh, which was needed since it was such a large site. The ruins were fascinating, in very good condition, and very much like visiting Rome.

Madama is suprisingly mundaine for the impressive mosaic. Mount Nebo provide an amazing view of the Jordan river valley. Petra is an impressive place and requires more than one day to visit all of the ruins.

Amazing place, I knew nothing about the history of the people who inhabited Petra. It will take at least 4 hours to hike to the monistary from the entrance. I would recomend more than one day if you want to visit all of the different sites within the national park.

Fascinating to see the topography of the area. I was expecting the water of the dead sea to be very cold since we visited in February, but it was quite warm. This would be a good location to visit for a day if you were completing strenuous hikes in Petra or the Wadi Rum area. The baptismal site on the jordan river is about 30 minutes north and could be an interesting 1/2 day experience.

Enjoyed seeing and learning about the Coptic tradition in Egypt. This is a fascinating excursion into the early history of Christianity and how it forms a part of Egyptian culture.

Nicely located hotel near the dock and the main walking area.

Nicley located hotel with great staff.

Great food, staff, and experience!!!

Located close to airport and very modern facilities.

Nice staff and wonderful food!!!

The views from this resort are spectacular. The food was excellent, the staff was courteous and the vibe was laid back and quiet.

The grounds are breathtaking. You are surrounded by rainforest wildlife. The bungalows are quaint and comfortable. The food is amazing; especially the morning fruits and juices.

Christine is an incredible hostess. Set in the low rainforest, you awaken to the Howler monkeys, Toucans and a host of other amazing birds. And with the family style dining, you make new friends from around the world.

A fun and memorable experience traveling up and down the Tarcoles River. We saw a few crocodiles and a lot of native birds. This activity includes an trip into a Mangrove forest.

Our guide Kevin was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable about the native plants and animals. On this hike we encountered Monkeys, Sloths, Toucans, Red Eye Frogs, Land Crabs and much more. Make sure to pack your swim suit. The water at Playa Manual Antonio is warm and refreshing.

We had a great time with our aipline guides Scott and Ureas. The scenery is amazing, the lines are long and fast and you are left wanting to go again. The Hanging Bridges are a unique experience. Be prepared to have a little bounce in your step as you cross several bridges suspended over the tropical cloud forest.

Even though the Arenal Volcano had it's head in the clouds the views from the vistas were breathtaking. Our guide Franklin was the absolute best. His knowledge and passion for the area was infectious. It was a great learning experience.

Wet, Wild & Wonderful. What an incredible experience as you rappel down through a tropical canyon with waterfalls on either side of you. The guides are fun loving, professional, safety conscious and make it a day you won't forget.

A very beautiful walk through the rain forest with multiple vistas from which to view the Celeste River and Waterfall. We also had a lot of fun with our driver Fernando and our guide Wilton. They really added a touch of Pura Vida to our day!

This is the most personal and amazing dog sled trip that you'll ever find. Here you aren't just a number, you're a friend and a fellow traveler.

Want to glamp under the northern lights while eating 5 star meals? This is your place.

You can tell a lot about a captain by his boat, and this is one of the most well maintained vessels I've ever seen. You won't find a better boat or a more experienced captain in Norway.

Great hotel located close to best parts of Hanoi

Comfortable rooms with good view and the breakfast is really good too!

Really homey accommodation, had all 3 meals here during my stay here and it was lovely. Lovely staff.

The place is stunning with an igloo hotel and rooms are amazing. The only downside was they kept messing up my meal reservations.

Such a cosy cruise with the lovely Sachi and Kenneth. Had reindeer stew on board and saw northern lights.

Worth every penny, nice guides who are serious about their work and also want visitors to have an amazing time.

Wish there was more to it

I personally loved it, such a unique experience. Was a little scary at first to drive the sled but it's fun once you get the hang of it.

Excellent staff. Clean rooms. Great location. Yummy breakfast. They even packed us a fruit salad for our departure day when we left earlier than the buffet breakfast opened. Highly recommend.

Great location for walking around Puebla. Such a cute street that a car commercial was being filmed there one day! Good breakfast, cute vibe. Very clean. The upstairs area has some spacious seating areas with nice rugs that I was able to use to get my workouts in each day. Highly recommend.

Very cute hotel focused on sustainability and being kind to our planet. Plants everywhere, a small pond with swinging seats around it was so peaceful. Roof top terrace was a quiet space to hang out and I was able to use it to get my workouts in each day. Don't be scared of the dry toilets, they really do work! Even my mom and me, age 80 and 50, had no problems-I guess you can teach old dogs new tricks. There a kitchen open for use. Make your own coffee etc. The staff were super helpful. They called us taxis when needed, even to pick us up at a restaurant and bring us back to the hotel. Highly recommend.

This was described in my itinerary as a "gastronomic experience". I didn't really know what that meant, but I like food, so I figured it would be good. It is actually a cooking class where your group can be interactive in helping prepare the meal. The chef was great and the food turned out delicious! He is also the owner of the coffee shop next door and gave a some tastings, history and education about Mexican coffee. He is so proud of Mexico and it made our experience really great.

Our guide was great! He used to be a Lucha Libre wrestler and knows so much about the sport. He made our walk fun and engaging. I wasn't too sure about this one because I am not that into wrestling, but after reading a few reviews, I decided it sounded pretty fun. It was so fun and funny and great. Our group was small, 7 people, and we all had fun together wandering the neighborhood, tasting the mezcal, and cheering for the wrestlers. This is a great tour; you should go even if you think you don't want to!

Our guide was amazing! Born in Mexico, lived in Chicago, moved back to Mexico. Thus excellent English and Spanish. She adapted to our pace very well. Was very kind to all the vendors in the market. Showed us foods we had never tried before and really like. Explained how the market works, how to purchase, how to turn it into a meal. We also went to a restaurant that uses the local corn to make all their dishes and drinks. We tried our hand at making tortillas and tried some of their ice cream. It was a fun day. Our driver was also amazing. He kept in touch with us via text to make sure we had everything we needed. He was super kind and gave us a safe ride and was fun and chatty along the way.

Our guide for Monte Alban was excellent. Very knowledgeable about he history of the inhabitants. Carefully explained some complicated astronomy. Was super kind and helpful. Our driver was also awesome. We had a great bufffet lunch with so many food options. The experiences at the pottery place and the artistic painted animal place were not super salesy which I liked. We were able to see the wares, learn about the process, but then weren't pressured to buy anything. The people were helpful with our purchases, don't get me wrong, but they managed to do that without being annoying. I like that much better than the higher pressure sales tactics you get some places. Both locations packed up people's souvenirs very carefully so they could travel.
