Kimkim Trip Reviews

Excellent. Amazing. Stay here if you can, we will probably come back to Scotland just to stay here again. Awesome service, unbelievable location and amenities, excellent food.

Beautiful place, amazing breakfasts, wonderful staff.

Excellent hotel - amazing room that we could have spent two weeks in. Highly recommend.

Having afternoon tea at Edinburgh Castle was a delightful experience! The tea itself was excellent, and the food was top-notch. It's one of those things that I'm really happy we did once, even though we probably wouldn't do it again. The atmosphere and the setting made it feel quite special, and it's definitely worth trying at least once.

The History Lovers Old Town Walking Tour in Edinburgh was fantastic. Our guide was super energetic and knowledgeable, taking us through little corners and showing us special spots around the town. She was still a student in her senior year but did an amazing job. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

The Underground Vaults and Graveyard Ghost Tour was a bit of a letdown. It felt pretty touristy and gimmicky, with not much to see. The tour guide was great and the people were nice, but the tour itself just didn't have much substance and felt a bit disjointed. Maybe families or kids would enjoy it more, but it wasn't really for us.

Dining at Cail Bruich in Glasgow was an excellent experience. The food was phenomenal, and the ambiance was just perfect for a fine dining experience. It's definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone looking for a special meal in Glasgow.

Visiting the Kelpies was really cool. The history behind them was quite interesting, and the tour was well worth it. It was a unique and fascinating experience.

The Stirling Castle tour was another highlight. The castle itself is beautiful and rich in history. We really enjoyed exploring it and learning about its significance.

The PhD level guided tour of Bannockburn was disappointing. Although the guide was knowledgeable and a great guy, the tour felt disjointed and didn't meet our expectations. We were hoping for a more detailed walk around the battlefield with specific insights into where events took place, but it didn't quite come together.

The Stirling Old Town Jail tour was very enjoyable. It was really cool to be able to walk around on our own and explore the jail. The tour was well put together and informative.

Our favorite of the three hotels ;)

The guest service in all areas need to improve.

The building ranges from ancient to old to I have no idea. We stayed in the merely old - about 200 years old- section so the lack of a lift was to be expected. Our suite was large with plenty of storage. All the other aspects were up to date. Merely find ones way around was fun as we never knew what room we might find ourselves in, there was always staff to direct to where we needed to go. Step out of the front door onto the green with shops, restaurants and activities during the day. Dine in comfort in the main dining room or other spaces and enjoy breakfast in the dining room as well. We first visited 60 years ago and it took us a while to find our way back.

Situated on Henrietta Street not more than 5 minutes walk from the Pultney Bridge most of Bath seem easily reachable on foot from this delightful hotel. There is a fine park just across the street as well. Do be prepared to face hills in this part of England. Our room was spacious and everything worked as expected. We both slept well in the comfortable bed. If I were to return to Bath I would not hesitate to stay here. Do be aware that there are steps and no lift. There was always someone to help us with the luggage.

This tiny hotel tucked into a corner is almost invisible from the street. Our room was just past the door from the reception which concerned us at first, but we never heard anything from that area. Everything about the hotel is small and especially the storage in our room was very limited and we travel light. We got to know the staff during our four night stay and they were most helpful with any request we made and often had suggestions before we asked. We had breakfast at the Buttery, which is part of the hotel, but not included in the rate. We slept well and were very comfortable.

This is another "hidden" hotel. The entrance is set back from the street in a courtyard and cars must stop on the street to off load luggage and passengers. The ground floor included reception, an open courtyard, an enclosed lounge and a lovely restaurant. The lift brought us to our room on 3 (one of two rooms on 3) and there was plenty of storage and space. Between the room and the bathroom there was a room that might have been a sitting room but contained a lovely old Claw foot tub. My wife is vertically challenged and was unable to access the tub. I'm not sure I could have myself. The shower was the most spacious shower I can remember. There were plenty of electrical connections including USB to let us charge all our devices - having two hearing aid chargers ups the challenge in finding connections.

Its a fine overview of London, I would not say it is a must see.

The "tour" is mostly of the front of the house with an excellent presenter giving the History of the original theater and its any successors. We got to see back stage briefly since the house is not accessible and the only way to get to the upper balcony with a wheelchair was to use a property lift backstage.

We were taken backstage, literally on the stage behind the performance stage and toured all the means for staging two different shows in a day. We saw props and costumes and wigs shops and so much more. We were taken to a dance studio where the dancers were taking their regular classes as well as warming up for their performances. Then we went out into the house and were able to see the stage and the building from the audience perspective from an upper balcony. This was a very exciting tour for us.

Murat was our driver with a stop in Stonehenge on the way to Bath. He is not a guide

Saw the last performance of Hamilton in the Victoria Palace after a 7 year run. Cannot repeat that!

Daniel met us at the hotel and provided more driving than walking since he appropriately judged that my wife would not do well with lots of walking on the hills. We learned a lot about Bath and the surrounding area and saw glorious views from highpoints and also got to see many places when we were walking in the town. We also learned of a connection between Bath and our hometown Rochester NY which has an adjacent suburb Henrietta which dates to 1808 and is named for Henrietta Pultney. Daniel noted that connection the moment I said we were from Rochester.

The Roman baths are ruins under the Victorian era baths. To us it seemed less exciting than some other aspects of Bath. It was surprising to learn that this is the only hot springs in England.

On time at both ends in comfortable car.

Longest darn walk from parking to check in ever. Security was PITA worse than most common.

Wildly funny performance of this Shakespeare comedy. Modern dress did not take anything away from the script.

Beatrix Potter was amazing. Her home is interesting, the gardens are glorious. I was less interested in this visit than in others since it is primarily a tourist sight with a lot of tourists. Others, I am sure, would feel very differently.

A pretty boat ride on a pretty lake. Great scenery. The narration was fine if difficult to hear.

Wonderful scenery and the history is very interesting. Nicky, our driver guide, gave us a lot of detail for the construction and the history of the wall. The drive along the wall area was very beautiful and I would recommend anyone to take the time. Nicky found and interesting pub where we had a light pub lunch along the way.

Not rated - we overslept and did not even try to get up the hill.

Lovely hotel. Friendly and helpful staff, great food, spacious comfortable rooms and beds, nice location!

I could go on and on and on about this Lodge. It may be my favorite place that I have every stayed. It will forever be near and dear to my heart and I would love to go back.

Great location, peaceful and serene. We loved being on the Zambezi River.

This hotel was in a pretty busy location and it was a bit loud when we arrived. Overall it worked out well for a quick one night stay. It was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was great!

We loved this special experience. Nikki was an amazing chef and the food was soooo delicious! We loved the tour of her gardens and all the knowledge about the plants that she shared. She was entertaining and fun and her home was beautiful with lovely views!

We went to Table Mountain first thing and it was not to be missed. It was a clear day and we got there before it was crowded so the line for the funicular was very short. AMAZING views from the top. We loved all three wineries we toured. The scenery was fabulous and so was the wine! We stopped in Stellenbosch for some shopping which was also wonderful.

The staff at Monwana was waiting for us upon our arrival and greeted us with incredible warmth. Our first game drive was full of spectacular sightings and set the stage for our incredible four day stay at this heavenly lodge. There are too many amazing things to write about so you just have to BOOK YOUR STAY NOW and experience it! We would return to this place again in a heartbeat!!

Every single ride with Bennie and Colin was beyond belief. We learned so much and loved hearing the stories about the animals...especially the Black Dams (Dams?) and the leopards! The snack stops were so awesome....there is nothing like an African sunset although we enjoyed the sunrises so much too. I worried that my family wouldn't want to get up so early every day but Colin and Bennie drew us into the story of the African bush and we didn't want to miss a single second!

There are not enough enthusiastic words or phrases to describe every game drive at Monwana! As my sons put it, we "completely vibed" with Colin our guide and Bennie, our tracker. We loved everyone on the staff led by Robbie. The accomodations were simply stunning and the food was superb! It is worth the long flight to travel back to this lodge, truly one of my top life's experiences!

We didn't fully understand the true adventure we signed up for but it was awesome! The wildlife viewing was astounding. The water hole was fascinating. We loved the nine mile walk from camp to camp. The food was delish and everyone worked so hard behind the scenes to make this experience spectacular and one of a kind from start to finish. It was wonderful to be completely disconnected in such a remote and special environment. Even though we were in tents, the bedding and comfort was incredible and I loved the hot shower (made with water heated over a fire) at the end of each day.

This was fun but I actually loved the views from Victoria Falls National Park even better than those from the helicopter.

Our guide, Rochelle was amazing! Penguins are the cutest things and it's so much fun to watch them. Beautiful scenery!

The staff and owner were so nice and seems like they are doing such important work in their community. It was fun to try local food and drinks. Great atmosphere!

I don't know how the Chef prepared such incredible meals over fires! Amazing!

The 9 mile walk from camp to camp was one of our favorite days. Taking a long break for lunch, naps, reading and wildlife viewing in the middle of the day in "Paradise" was awesome.

The tents, bedding and bathroom exceeded our expectations. Everything was so comfortable and spacious. Even though there was no running water the staff made sure to help you feel like all your needs were met. It was incredible to be so close to the water hole and see the steady stream of animals come by. The elephant families were plentiful and entertaining. Very exciting to be immersed in nature like this.

This was our favorite experience during our stay in Victoria Falls. We had a beautiful sunset and the crocodiles, hippos and birds were amazing to see. The drinks and snacks were delicious too. We ended up having a private Riverside Dinner and show. So much fun!

Hotel was changed to a different hotel. Stayed at Kolbe Hotel not this hotel

I would recommend staying in a deluxe room in the newer addition of the hotel (gray stone building behind the abbey). My first night I stayed in a room in the older building, which was not what I was expecting. However the hotel upgraded me to the deluxe room which overlooked a beautiful garden. The breakfast was very good.

I loved everything about this hotel. Spotlessly clean, charming art, good view, well located, and the best breakfast of the trip. They serve omelettes and have a great selection of breakfast items,

This hotel was very clean, luxurious, well appointed and quiet. The breakfast was excellent!

Excellent location near the best restaurants, and short walk to the train station. Despite its central location, it is quiet and peaceful.

The kayaking on the Lesse River from Dinant was an incredibly physical but rewarding experience. It was hot, but the adventure was worth it. We had initially planned to do some climbing afterward, but due to scheduling issues, the climbing wasn't available in the morning. We ended up kayaking first and were too tired to go back for climbing. For future travelers, I would recommend planning only one of these activities per day, especially if it's hot, to avoid fatigue. Overall, kayaking was enough to fill the day with excitement.

The visit to the battlefield was definitely the highlight of our whole trip. The guide was so knowledgable, and it was so informative!

Absolutely LOVED this hotel! Such charm. And the staff were warm and caring. Felt like staying with family.

Another of our favorites. Wonderful staff. Beautiful

Simply beautiful.

Fun experience. And the family was very nice.

Amazing views.

We skipped due to flight problem

Clean spacious hotel in the heart of the action. Friendly staff Was hoping for a rooftop but was under construction

Amazing location. Authentic Greece layout. Close to Port and shopping. Wonderful host

Nice hotel. Great staff. Close to most things

Our tour guide was ingaging and knowledgeable

Great location and a comfortable stay. Parking is tricky since there are very limited spots – be sure to first go to the front desk to ask for them to save you a parking spot.

Spacious rooms, just a few minutes' walk to the Krka National Park ferry. We were on the third floor where the wifi was so spotty it essentially didn't work. Hotel restaurant is a good value for a dinner.

Probably the best hotel to stay at in Zagreb. The best part is its centrality to the Zagreb Old Town.

Great option if you want to take a break near the Plitvice lakes area. Both hotel restaurants are great choices for lunch or dinner. Outdoor lawn with chairs and a pool was a great amenity, especially in the summer.

It's a bit small, but it's a very clean and comfortable stay. Parking can be a bit tricky, and if you come in through the back you may need to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs before you can use the elevator. Just a few minutes' walk to the Split Old Town.

Very inclusive and comfortable hotel resort with two pools and outdoor lounging. The only downside was that our room had a moldy smell and some of the waiters were hard to communicate with. A few minutes' walk to the bus #6 station, which will get you to the Dubrovnik Old Town in about 15 minutes.

This was my favorite city to visit. I love music so the Sea Organ was one of the most memorable experiences in Croatia.

Most Old Town attractions are within walking distance and can be visited in a single walking trip of an hour or so.

Rastoke is a must-stop village. The town rests on the intersection of two rivers at different elevations, sitting right on the edge of a wide-stretching waterfall. You'd have to go there to experience its beauty yourself!

Gorgeous. Sadly the waterfall was closed, but the lakes were lovely. We almost chose to hike 20 km because we thought the boat couldn't take everyone at once and we would have to wait an hour, but luckily two boats came.

Very pretty town. I wish we visited earlier in the day to avoid the heat. Overall I think we could even spend a day here.

To be honest, after visiting Plitvice, Krka National Park was underwhelming. I would have honestly been fine skipping this part of the trip.

Very charming town! If it was less hot and earlier in the day I would have definitely climbed the walls.

Beautiful.

Loved the uniqueness of the hotel along with the comfortable beds and rooms. The breakfast was amazing as advertised!! Rooms were quiet. The location was walkable and seemed very safe. The front desk was helpful with several good ideas for restaurants. We stayed several nights. The only small complaint was that the AC did not seem to be adjustable. The first nights we were there it seemed warm, and they did bring a fan in for us. At the end of our trip we stayed again and the temperature was better.

This was the primary trip I was interested in and it didn't disappoint! It was a long trip to get to the boat, but the travel there was comfortable in our own large van or small bus. We sailed on a sailboat built by the captain, just our party, to a small island in the Archipelago. The boat was built in the fashion of a traditional work boat from the past. The captain was interesting, informative and friendly. I loved being on the sea and seeing the multiple islands! It was a treat! We were also served a delicious lunch of fish stew!

Nice place for a stopover. Rooftop bar is spectacular despite the rain

We loved this place. Best staff I've ever seen. So friendly and helpful. Great room and great views of Arenal. Highly recommend.

Disappointed especially after Arenal Hot Springs. Too many steps to get to the room. Food selection/quality was not good. Pool was loud with a bunch of kids. Hard to relax. Courtesy transport was very good. Disappointing

Rooms are dated and need an upgrade. Property needs a facelift. However, the grounds are beautiful. The pool was fun as was the bar/restaurant. Needs mor food selection at breakfast. Stunning beach.

This was a dumpy old hotel. Horrible food and beverage selections. Do not recommend.

A very well run, fun day on the river

A very cool experience

Very strenuous but worth it!!

Tougher hike than described but well worth it!!

A nice easy hike but unfortunately didn't see a lot on this particular day.

If I could give a six I would.

A nice relaxing way to end the trip

So interesting to see the lava caves! We had a great time and our group was relatively small which made it even more enjoyable.

This was such an amazing experience! We got to see the lagoon in all of its glory and even got to see some ADORABLE seals!

Such a fun time! We love the horses of Iceland and when we got an opportunity to ride some of them we couldn’t resist!

We had a fabulous time going to see the ice caves! Our guide Natalia was AMAZING and incredibly knowledgeable!

Such a wonderful and relaxing experience! Great way to end our adventure!

Cozy and full of charm.

Nice rooms and a delicious breakfast buffet.

Very nice rooms.

The tour guide was lively and knowledgeable.

It was a perfect way to start our vacation after an overnight flight.

It was a neat experience. The water was crystal clear and the wet suits kept us surprisingly warm.

This was more fun than we expected. We drove through three completely different trips of terrain. The black sand is otherworldly, but driving through the fields of wildflowers and the river canyon was unexpected and beautiful.

It was less of a hike and more of an exploration of the tip of the glacier, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
