Custom Self-Driving Tours of Iceland

We found Noga, Nick and Maria to be a wonderful team. They were very responsive, provided detailed answers to all of our questions, and made modifications based on our interests. When we had an unexpected physical challenge, they not only assisted in helping us cancel a couple of excursions, but checked in on us throughout the trip.

We loved the accommodations chosen for us. Each was unique and offered a different Icelandic experience. We also appreciated the 2 night-1 night driving plan for the trip. It gave us a lot of flexibility.

We have spoken their praises and would recommend Kimkim to anyone looking to plan a trip.

I am absolutely thrilled with the entire process of planning the trip and the trip itself- we had the most amazing time in Iceland and saw so many things! Gudmundur made the planning so smooth- we were able to pack so much into just the 5 days that we had. The extra tips were so helpful and he was always responsive to messages and questions- each day felt different and although we were busy- we never felt rushed or over scheduled and had plenty of time at each destination to enjoy each experience- I will absolutely use this service again!

Activity Reviews

Faxaflói Bay Whale Watching Excursion

Reykjavík

The tour was interesting and pretty scenery but we did not see any wild life- they did give vouchers to return but with our full schedule we could not make the reschedule work- we would likely skip this n the future as it took a lot of time and ultimately we didn’t see any thing

Vatnshellir Lava Cave Experience

Snæfellsnes Peninsula

Very interesting guide and amazing experience- it was very cool to learn about the history and lava flow/ eruptions.

Explore Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon by Amphibian Boat

Iceland

This location was beautiful but the activity was cancelled at the last minute due to high winds- certainly safety is important but helpful to know if you have children looking forward to this activity that it is weather dependent-

Laugarás Lagoon - Lerki

Iceland

The lagoon was also a highlight of our trip- it was beautiful and relaxing- we did this at the end of a day and it was rhe perfect way to end a busy day of hiking- the facilities were so beautiful, the staff was amazing and the water was warm- they included details like hair dryers and bags for your wet swimsuit which was so helpful as well

Glacier Ice Cave Experience

Iceland

This was definitely a highlight of the trip- we all loved it- the guide was so informative and the scenery was absolutely amazing- would definitely recommend

We had an amazing trip to Iceland which we will remember forever and a significant part of the success of the trip was the planning by Kim Kim and our local specialist, Alicia. Alicia listened closely to what we wanted, understood our traveling vibe - how much we wanted to drive in a day, the kinds of things we wanted to see and do and the kind of experience we wanted to have - and she planned an itinerary that matched the mandate exceptionally well. She was very responsive and communicative, had great ideas, and even handled a last-minute glitch seamlessly. Alicia helped us create a self-guided portion of the trip with a short group-guided portion and the combination was great. It is difficult to say what part of our trip was the most memorable as each natural wonder seemed more beautiful and awesome than the next. We enjoyed staying near the Harbor in Rejkyavik and beyond that it is hard to choose between the waterfalls, black sand beaches, glacier lakes and ice formations and lava fields. But one thing is certain: a steamy hot water lagoon experience is a must and is amazing whether it's sunny or cloudy and rainy.
