Kimkim Trip Reviews

Food was very expensive (about $60 per person without drinks for a mediocre buffet), and only other open restaurant was a pizza shop. We ate here two nights but kind of sad to have to do that on vacation

Basic kayaking trip, was nice but spent most of the trip just sitting there waiting for 2 people who couldn’t keep up with the other 10 people in the group. Not that the rest of the group was fast.

E-bike ride was very nice

Great location and breakfast

Awsome passionate leader great route

Great guide she was knowledgeable and local

Already did in the general comments. We highly recommend this tour.

Everything was great.

Dar Kika Salam in Rabat was incredible. The manager was one of the kindest people I've ever met, making our stay truly special. The hospitality was top-notch, and the Riad itself was beautiful and cozy. Definitely one of my favorite stays during the trip.

Luxury Oasis Camp Merzouga was unexpectedly impressive. My girlfriend booked a tent with AC, which was a blessing given the extreme heat. Though it was quite hot initially, the AC eventually kicked in and made it bearable. The camp was well-equipped, and having a shower in the middle of the Sahara was a pleasant surprise.

The Riad in Marrakech was great, especially for the little pool we could use every day after a very hot day in the city!

Wow, the camel trek to the camp in the Sahara was an absolutely unique experience. I had never seen anything like the vast desert landscape before. It was surreal being out there, especially with the intense heat, even at 8 PM, when it was still over 105 degrees. The guides were super welcoming and made the experience even better

Great hotel. Excellent food & Located in the center of everything!

Great location, excellent food, & located in the center of everything

Great location right on the sea, steps from the main strip, also near the ferries, & bus stop. Very nice hotel

Our tour with Daniela was amazing! Highly recommend

Daniela was great. She was knowledgeable and gave us an option on what we wanted to see. She took us all throughout Venice.

Alfonso was extremely knowledgeable, beautiful scenery, delicious wine & food!

I have already mentioned our total satisfaction with our lodging. It had all the amenities of home, so we ended up eating breakfast and some dinners inn the apartment and were happy to be able to do so. The apartment had four showers, so each room's occupants had their own shower. The apartment also had a laundry, and we used the washing machine several times. But we could get the clothes drier to work, so that was a problem. We loved the apartment, and want to say thank you for arranging our stay there!

Our guide for this walking tour is a trained archeologist with extensive knowledge of the cultures and civilizations that created the magniicient monuments we were visiting. It would have been hard to find a better, more knowledgeable and qualified guide. We. were very happy with her and recommend her to other visitors.

This is where a highly educated guide added a lot to the experience. She was able to describe the architecture of the Pantheon and how it used the natural movement of the sun to illustrate the progression of the seasons. She explained the structure of the building inside and out. As part of this tour, we also visited the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, and she was able to include a lot of history from those fountains in her explanation of their history. We were very pleased with her extensive knowledge and her pleasant demeaor.

Again, a knowledgeable guide who was able to communicate well in English was an enormous benefit and we got a lot out of the tour.

It says a lot about the large number of tourists at the Colosseum that this service is provided, but the truth is you would spend more time standing in ine than seeing the Colosseum and Forum if you did not take this option. By all means, take advantage of this.

The Vatican and Sistine Chapel are must-see sites for any visit to Rome. Must-see for tens of thousands of tourists in addition to you, regrettably, so you will spend your entire time shuffling through the museum and chapel dodging other tourists, trying to keep up with your guide, and trying to hear your guide describe what you hope to see through all the other tourists. I don't suppose there is any way to change this situation, but it detracts from the experience.

Again, the fact that this is offered makes it clear that the number of tourists visiting the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel is enormous. You must buy this option if you are going to visit these sites, but the large number of tourists just detracted from the experience for me.

Great location - very clean. Rooms a bit small but that was not a major issue.

This was our favorite hotel of the week. Remote location added to the experience. Dinner was unexpectedly incredible. A little smelly from the sulphuric emanating from the geothermal pools - but did not negatively impact our experience (and not the hotel’s fault!).

This was a quaint little hotel conveniently located near the ferry. The rooms were fine and overall the hotel is a little dated and in need of some upgrading. But it was charming and we loved it for that. Breakfast options were somewhat limited.

This was our least favorite hotel. It is clearly in the middle of a renovation. There was evidence of construction all around, but our rooms had clearly not yet been worked on. The showers had mold, the shower doors didn’t work well and so the whole bathroom got flooded, there were nail holes everywhere. The common areas, however, were lovely - especially the bar. And we again loved the off-the-path location. It was crazy windy on the day we checked out and the night before and all the barriers between rooms were shaking and making noise throughout the night. I would recommend leaving this hotel off the list until they have completed their renovations.

Excellent first stop after landing in Iceland. Helped us work out the kinks from our overnight flights and start off our vacation in style. Loved the face masks and cocktails in the water. Ate lunch at the cafe and everything was really tasty.

This was one of our biggest highlights. Being on the water with the icebergs in the glacial waters was a humbling experience. The icebergs are so cool up close, and ever changing. Walking under the bridge over to Diamond Beach and seeing all of the ice on the beach was another highlight. Lots of birds playing around and taking rides on the bergs washing out to sea.

This was incredibly cool. Everything from pulling on the dry suits, then the wetsuits, then the gloves and boots - the walk over to the water, getting in the water - it was all so much fun and so different from other snorkeling experiences. It is definitely cold! But if you follow instructions on what layers to wear and how to keep your mask sealed, it is really not that bad. The color and clarity of the water is 100% worth it! And the cookies and hot chocolate afterward were a great touch. Our guide, Nico, was so kind, knowledgeable, and funny.

Amazing experience walking to and onto the glacier and seeing the cool streams and caves formed from the ice melting. Also very humbling to see the effects of global warming up close. In the attached photo you can see two separated parts of the glacier that just a couple of weeks ago had been touching. And we were told that where we parked (maybe 1/2 mile away) was covered by ice only 30 years ago.

This hotel had a good location and great people working there. Breakfast was great!!

The Mozart was and good hotel. We were k no it in the actual hotel as they have some rooms a couple of blocks down the street. No way for the travel company to know this when they booked. Where they had us was under construction so it was a little noisy during the day and construction materials where we had to walkthrough to get to our rooms. Shouldn’t be use for anyone with disabilities, as even though it had an elevator, you had to walk stairs to get to your room. Fine for our group but not for many.

The only reason this isn’t 5 starts is that the breakfast was pretty weak compared to the other hotels and other hotels we have stayed at in italy. Overall it was very good.

The guide was great, very knowledgeable and good with people said all ages. but the directions where to find the guide need to be more specific. Either a transfer needs to be arranged or in the write up it needs to explain where the meeting actually, which was below the coliseum, not at the coliseum. Many taxi drivers don’t speak great English and many of our group had to walk about half a mile from taxi dropoff to the meeting place.

This class is for a maximum of 7 people at a time and the owner was willing to do 2 sessions once we got there, but we decided not to spend the extra time. This fact should be noted when booking. The owner said the travel company knew and should have told us. Not Kim Kim, their supplier. But the kids, which is who we picked to attend, thought it was great!! The owner was very friendly and very accommodating.

A must for anyone that hasn’t been in a hot air balloon. When I asked our group what was the favorite thing they did, almost all said the hot air balloon.

Both cities were unique so there was no overlap in info. The guide was very good at telling both the historical fact of both places and stories to bring them to life. This was a very good day.

Guide was very good and St. Marks was close to our hotel.

Once again, this was awesome. We were taught to row the boats, which was like a gondola, but made for two people to row. The operators were all women school teachers also doing this and they could row the boat without you if needed. Everyone got a chance to row both through the back canals in Venice and out in the open water. Everyone truly enjoyed the experience.

Jacub and Maria and the entire staff were great Very helpful and willing to help! The hotel has beautiful views and is well located a little outside of town where its quieter but still in walking distance. The restaurant for both dinner and breakfast were wonderful as well Thanks!

Very good hotel, great breakfast, excellent location (convenient to local dining), highly recommended.

Convenient quiet beautiful friendly place with nice amenities

Private and quiet with pool and very good breakfast. Lovely stone outdoor shower. And private deck. Across from ocean and convenient walking to pier, sunset, restaurants. Snorkel boat and guide came to us.

Great view from hilltop over beach. Nicely shaded and quiet. Nice pool. Beautiful architecturally interesting private villas. Nice beds and A/C. Doors in the room are somewhat awkward. Nice upscale restaurant with good service and good food.

Friendly guide/ staff were very helpful in getting newbie ebikers started and in guiding the group thru traffic. Path in the rice patties is somewhat narrow and bumpy. They helped explain Hinduism/ Village Temples/ process to cremation while stopping by a local ceremony.

Beautiful home/ courtyard/ gardens with insights into Balinese family life. Well- appointed outdoor kitchen with friendly private instructor that uses some traditional Balinese technique/ tools. Wonderful traditional feast. Provided copy of recipes.

Great smiling guide who was helpful in setting our pace. Saw the nearly full moon en route. Appreciated his hand up when it was steep at the end. Could see the next mountain and Beautiful working farms near base.

Appreciated the private boat and friendly guide. Saw several large turtles. Did run into some sea nettles and some motionsckness personally

Nice views. Very crowded and hot, and hard to get tickets for show at sunset. Somewhat aggressive monkeys compared to the Ubud Monkey Forest.

Very private snorkeling with spectacular live coral and multitude of fish; guide was great. Not crowded. Nusa Penida people at first glance didnt seem quite as friendly or interested in tourists. We didnt do mangrove trees, and they let us flex this portion to get lunch and return to Bali sooner. Driver -slight language barrier and not very friendly.

Very interesting and informative and cold!

Super fun! Driving on the black sand beach parallel to the ocean was exhilarating!

This was stunning. It was so beautiful - it seemed almost fake.

This was fun and the best part for me was the drive across smoldering lava fields to get there.

Rustic boutique hotel with a fantastic location and tremendous management/staff. The breakfast in the morning is a visual feast for the eyes and stomach. The staff could not be any more helpful, generous and friendly! Though there are few "amenities", the aesthetic setting and ideal location for hiking trumps any concerns one might have on more amenities.

While the spa is amazing, the rooms are small, dated and the bathroom had several fixtures that needed to be repaired/weren't functioning properly. The spa (which seems very new) compensates for the "dated", small rooms. Also, location is pretty isolated...we made the best of it by enjoying some nearby hikes, but otherwise, I wouldn't go back to this hotel.

Fantastic hotel in a fantastic location....everything about the hotel was superb (room/bathroom/amenities and onsite MIchelin Restaurant!)

Fantastic experience going on a jeep and exploring the "back" roads of the vineyards, weaving our way through the various borders b/w Italy & Slovenia and learning the history of the area and its ability to sustain itself through wars, Covid and political upheavals. We thoroughly enjoyed the personal experience of meeting a 4th generation vintner and his family, tasting their wines, and enjoying their homemade prociutto, salami's, cheese, honey and of course...wine!

Thoroughly enjoyed the bread-baking experience and the bee-keeper/honey tasting, but I think this would be better without the "local lunch", as it makes for a long day and really doesn't "add" to the experience.

Our favorite accommodation was at NH Sintra Centro Hotel. Recently renovated, it offered beautiful views and was very updated and clean. Getting there was a bit tricky due to narrow roads, but once we arrived, it was perfect. The breakfast was excellent, and the overall experience was wonderful.

The Miramar Hotel & Spa in Nazaré was nice but not our favorite. The hotel was under construction, so the spa and indoor pool were closed. The room was clean, and the staff was polite, but it lacked some conveniences like an ironing board. The location was good, allowing us to walk to most places. Overall, it was a decent stay but could have been better.

Our stay at Pousada Porto—Rua das Flores was excellent. The hotel was in a prime location, especially during the St. John's Festival. The breakfast was fantastic, and the dinner we had there was delicious. The room was a bit small but very clean, and we spent most of our time outside, so it didn't matter much. The staff was polite, and we enjoyed the overall experience despite the room size.

We started our trip with a food and cultural walk in Lisbon, which was fantastic. Our guide took us to some traditional Portuguese places, including an olive oil shop that we probably wouldn't have found on our own. We were paired with two ladies from Tampa, Florida, and despite our initial doubts about getting along, we ended up having a blast and even stayed in touch. The guide was lovely and made the experience really special.

The tuk-tuk tour in Lisbon was another highlight. Our driver was punctual, knowledgeable, and spent plenty of time with us, giving us a rich history of the city. Lisbon's steep hills can be a lot to handle on foot, so this was a perfect way to see the city without too much walking. It was a great way to get around and learn about Lisbon.

This e-bike tour in Porto was incredible, though challenging due to the hot weather and the crowd from the St. John's Festival. Our guide was wonderful, spent extra time with us, and made sure we were safe and comfortable. He took us to less crowded trails and provided a lot of historical context, which we appreciated. He also brought water and snacks for us and even took great photos. This was a very active excursion, but we loved every minute of it.

Our bus from Puno to Cusco was very comfortable, the tip was not very exhausting from travel. We had frequent stops at places with historical importance.

This was a very beautiful experience. The view from the rrestaurant was mesmerizing. We had a 3 course vegetarian meals with variety of dishes made from Quinoa.

This Inca ruin's shows the engineering excellence from their times. The view early in the morning was very beautiful.

I cannot express how I feel in words. Machu Picchu is an amazing city between beautiful valleys, and a layered architecture. Each layer had something unique and filled with historical stories.
