Kimkim Trip Reviews

The Fosshotel Baron in Reykjavik was a typical tourist hotel. They often booked a lot of retiree buses and it was pretty crowded. But I was on one of the upper floors and it was very quiet. The lobby was crowded, but I didn't spend a lot of time there. Overall, it was a decent place to stay.

This country hotel was a real comfort amid the desolate landscapes. It was situated about 10 kilometers off the main road on a bumpy gravel road. The food here was the highlight. They had the most wonderful smoked trout, which they actually caught right on the farm. The only downside was the uncooperative weather, but hey, that's Iceland for you.

I stayed at this guesthouse on Grimsey Island. It was one of the only three options on the entire island. They had a nice shared living room where we had coffee. There was no breakfast option at the guesthouse, but we grabbed a bite to eat on the ferry back to the mainland. Overall, it was a pretty decent place to stay given the limited choices.

Beautiful hotel. I was impressed with its design, the way it is decorated, and the service. Highly recommended.

Location was incredible! Woke up to a wonderful view. Had a magical stay

Hotel had great location! Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Would definitely recommend

Incredible view of the fjords and mountains. Beautiful location! Rooms were lovely!

It's at the very end of a street once you get off the busy. Many restaurants/stores along the way. Was clean and the beds were comfy by amenities were sparse. A little bar of soap and package of shampoo were provided (we had just brought backpacks so were expecting shampoo/conditioner and a hair dryer.) Breakfast was also pretty sparse as well. Staff was friendly but could have used a little more comfort after our hiking.

Loved the location and the little courtyard. Pillows were a little hard for liking but was clean and staff was very friendly.

Great location, comfy beds and good breakfast.

Guide was knowledgeable. Would have loved to have lunch at the restaurant next to the museum, it was beautiful.

Tour guide was nice but very different. He had a lot to share on the spiritual side but once we were ready to move on and not focus on that he did not pick up the hint. Great way to see the city but the beginning of the tour could have been sped up. Seeing the city from high up and then walking parts of the Inca Trail were very cool. The market was also worth visiting.

This hotel was very good and well-located. We were able to walk to many places in Dublin from here.

This hotel was a bit of a letdown. There was no air conditioning, and the noise from the parking lot and the banging of a fire door all night was bothersome. Also, the location didn't have much to offer in terms of shops or dining.

A pleasant stay. The hotel was very good and had air conditioning.

A perfectly good hotel with all the amenities we needed.

Our first stop was quite impressive, from the location to the restaurant on-site, this hotel was fabulous.

This hotel was excellent. The room was very comfortable and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

The black cab tour in Belfast was fabulous, one of the highlights of the trip.

A memorable drive indeed, filled with beautiful scenery.

The tour was perfect and well-organized. The landscapes were absolutely stunning.

Truly a picturesque location, it was a delight to explore.

I had a wonderful time experiencing the history and charm of these places.

This exploration was quite fantastic. It was a great way to kick-start the trip.

Nice lodge, friendly staff. It's amazing how many excursions you could go on just around their lodge. Food was good too!

Cute hotel right at the train station, super easy to take the train to Machu Picchu. Although it's right at the train station, we couldn't hear the train from our room at all. They have a nice farm of animals and vegetables, and a very nice restaurant that uses fresh seasonable vegetables from their garden.

Great hotel! Stayed here twice with different rooms, both were great! Friendly staff, tea time every night. They had a really good spa menu too.

Room was clean, nothing special. Not a ton of options at breakfast, poor wifi connection

We didn't have the best experience with the Fosshotel. It felt very impersonal. Not really our style of traveling. The people were perfectly nice there, but overall, it was not our favorite.

We had a bit of a problem at Vogafjós Farm Resort, as we had no shower water. Despite this, the place was lovely and the lodge was high-end. The rooms were nice, simple, and sweet.

The Frost and Fire Boutique Hotel was super sweet. I appreciate the small boutique-style hotels.

Our favorite place to stay. Lovely owners and great conversation and breakfast!!

We visited Hvitserkur, which was a unique location. However, the long gravel road to reach the spot was a bit challenging. Despite this, we still had a great time!

We visited Möðrudalur Farm and it was a lovely place. The area had a lot of bugs, which was a bit of a nuisance, but overall the experience was positive!

I absolutely loved the Glacier Hike- Glacier Encounter. It was one of our favorite activities and was a truly unique experience.

I enjoyed the Reykjavík Culture and Food Walk Tour because it was quite a unique way to explore the city after landing in Iceland. We visited five restaurants, which was a bit too much food in one sitting. However, the tour was a nice way to interact with the local cuisine and culture. I might consider doing it in another country with more interesting ethnic foods.

Our guide Izak was fabulous!

This hotel was probably one of the worst we have stayed in. The location was convenient as it was in the airport terminal. We had to change rooms as our air conditioning was broken. The room we changed to had water leaking from the ceiling and the response from the front desk was that they knew. The room wasn’t very clean also. The hotel restaurant was also concerning as we witnessed several people complaining about their food so we ate elsewhere.

The hotel was within walking distance to pretty much everything!

The hotel was right in the center of town so it was easy to walk everywhere we needed to go!

This hotel was one of our favorites of the trip! The hotel staff & amenities were top notch!

This tour was fun & we learned quite a bit but I think we were under the impression the “murders & mysteries” part was something different. We had a great time regardless!

We would have liked to see the menu options before as one of us doesn’t care for seafood but the entire experience was worth it! We loved the chef!

This boat tour was one of our favorite parts of the trip to Marseilles! We loved the entire experience.

We loved the e-bike tour for the most part! The only thing we think may be done better is returning the bikes and then walking through the village/town. We loved the olive oil tasting and wish it was a bit longer!

We really loved the Luberon! The tour guide and group was great as well!

We really enjoyed the 1:1 tour through Avignon! We got to ask so many questions and learn so much!

The guide we had was awesome! We loved it!

We wish this tour was a few hours longer! We had to get an audio guide but felt rushed in each room as there was so much to see! We loved the inside of the palace and loved the gardens even more!

We added these tickets last minute and they did not disappoint!

We loved this boat tour! Got to see Paris from a different angle

All staff are friendly and very accommodating especially Rui and Gonzalo. We never get to meet Sonia unfortunately. It is 3 blocks away from the proximity of Main Avenue Rua Santa Catarina connecting streets to City Center

We loved this place. It was more rustic and wilderness-like than what we were used to but we liked that. The food was great and the people were nice

The accommodations were great and the people were nice, but we didn't like the restaurant. The food was too fancy for our liking.

This place was fabulous. The people were very friendly, our guide was great and the accommodations were amazing.

We loved this hotel. The location was beautiful, the space was great and we enjoyed walking along the path by the ocean.

This hotel was beautiful and in a great location. However, we had a bit of a situation where my friends had money stolen. The hotel said they did an investigation but we felt they could have done more.

The tour was interesting and informative, but our guide was quite intense and pushy.

We loved Botswana, it was my favorite place. The safari was even better and the Okavango Delta was incredible.

We enjoyed all these activities, especially the elephant sanctuary and Victoria Falls. However, we had issues with the tour company as they were often late

This was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed the experience.

We loved the game reserve. Our guide was good and we enjoyed the accommodations and spa.

This tour was okay. We saw some whales, but we thought we were going to see more and there were a lot of people on the boat. It was fine but not great.

We visited a few different wineries and had cheese at different places. It was not really a wine and chocolate tour, but more of a tasting experience.

This was a nice tour, and our guide was excellent. We enjoyed exploring the area.

I adored Cape Town and our guide was fabulous. He was with us the whole time we were there, taking us to the wine country, Cape Point, and the city. He was very personable and it was great having the same guide.

Pay parking is a ways away. Be prepared to walk with your luggage from the pay for parking lot. Hotel is on the busy main, old town pedestrian walk way. Lots of people watching from your balcony if it faces to the front. Front desk employees friendly and helpful. Breakfast was comparable to other Hotels in Provence.

Loved the feel of the old farmhouse turned hotel........ had some issues with the toilet and very small space, but wonderful breakfast in the a.m.!

Other than walking 350 meters to parking, it was amazing to be in a 1500 yr. old monastery turned elegant hotel with the BEST French breakfast!

Parking nearby was difficult! Everything else was wonderful!!! GREAT Location!!!!

It was a wonderful area to visit with a lot of Roman and Medieval history and 2 different UNESCO world heritage sites to visit and walk through. Robin shared a lot of the history he was familiar with and we took a tour of the large amphitheater which has been re - done yet keeping the original structure intact so that concerts/performances are still held there today. Our only downside of the day, and which couldn't have been helped, was the high temperature the day we visited this area. Due to the sites all being outside, we weren't able to truly appreciate all that we saw that day.

One of our top 2 excursions in Marseille/Provence. Our driver, Robin, took us to a wonderful winery and then to Chateau des Baux-de-Provence where we saw the Luminaire exhibit in the caves of the Alpilles. Then lunch in the medieval town nearby, with a tour of the old castle after, with an amazing view of the beautiful vineyards and olive groves in the Baux Valley below....... a truly memorable day.

Gille is a very talented chef who is able to share his knowledge of cooking with our group of 10 in a way that ALL of us learned SO much, from the experienced to the very inexperienced, like my husband. He came away so excited to try some of the techniques he learned from Gille. It was a great experience walking with Gille to look for the fresh fish at the Vieux Port and the fresh produce in a small square, a few blocks away and then walk to his mother's beautiful home to prepare our French meal. Wonderful experience~~~

This was in the top 2 experiences in our trip throughout Marseille and Provence. These islands are uniquely beautiful. Going in a pontoon boat can be a little bumpy but you have the opportunity to get much closer to the unique land, beaches and especially, being able to go into the caves along the coastlines. Bleu Evasion was a great cruise company. The employees are efficient, safety oriented and our boat captain, Christoph (spelling?) was very experienced, knowledgeable, friendly and engaging.......... all the attributes you want for an beautiful excursion like this!

An exciting, vibrant city. Hundreds of choices for wonderful places to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, all within a 5 to 10 minute walk. Walking at night is an amazing experience, especially along Vieux Port. Great people-watching, people from all over the world living and touring in this city.

Perfect!

Really lovely boat cruise and great opportunity to see more wildlife- we saw the irawaddy dolphins, a crocodile, proboscis monkeys, macques and the fireflies. Stunning sunset from the boat too. We were also provided snacks which was an unexpected but pleasant surprise

Great place to see the native proboscis monkeys, we were lucky to see some in two different places by the entrance to the park. Also saw lots of other wildlife with the help of our guide and enjoyed the hikes around the park. Boat trip there and back was also fun

Highlight of the trip seeing these beautiful animals- amazing experience!

The staff was very nice and helpful. Could not get over the fact that there was no pool or a beach that we could use without spending extra

The views and accommodations are exactly what I expected while there. Wish we would have had another night there to really enjoy the views and pool

Great location and spacious rooms with king beds! Liked the number of usb plugs. The Hotel seemed to get hot at night which didn’t lend itself to comfortable sleeping. Wish we could have made the room cooler.

Nice clean busy hotel. We felt as if we were in a cruise ship crowd because there were buses of people--a bit busier than we would have liked but didn't detract from our trip. The rooms are nice and had ample space. Friendly staff. Room was quiet. Nice option next to the train station so it was a walkable option to a lot. We'd consider it again for convenience.

This is an amazing hotel option from every aspect--rooms were modern, smartly furnished, friendly team members, outstanding food in the restaurant, they went above and beyond one day when we were going to miss breakfast due to an early train and sent a bagged breakfast that was super. We stayed there twice and we will again! And we'll tell our friends/family to stay there. Final strong point is proximity to train station, which is why we went there in the first place. Top marks in all categories!

Good location, friendly staff.

great location, friendly staff. room layout and furnitures could be updated to make it more friendly for families. very quiet hotel in a busy area which was great.

Great service and amazing location. Breakfast with breathtaking views.

Great location and friendly staff. room could use some checking and update.

great location. room layout design could be more effective.

amazing hiking, beach, lunch, lake and everything.

loved every minute of the tour.

speechless visiting Olympia

must do if you like archaeology sites.

cannot miss this if you like to visit archaeology sites

creative immersive show held at a place with a great view.

knowledge and friendly guide. learned a lot and looked after us.

This hotel has an extensive Breakfast. The most selection of the five hotels we started in during this trip

We loved staying in a the 17 th century building with all the architecture that goes along with this hotel.

This is a great metropolitan hotel.

This is a MUST DO for all interested. The cruise was a great intro to the following hike to the rock. And at the end it was great to get a bus ride to our hotel . Not to mention the longest tunnel experience was one for the bucket list .

Wilde was fantastic. It was great to gain her knowledge of Bergen and discuss current issues of life in Norway, from political in sight to the current music scene . This was well worth while even though it poured through out our walk Wilde kept our interest and spirits up the whole time.

Stig was fantastic. He fit our walk into our interest and covered a lot of the city. He went out of the way to go beyond his time with us . We appreciated his history knowledge
