Kimkim Trip Reviews for Iceland

Our trip to Iceland was fantastic! We let Eric know what our goals were, and he put together a well-thought-out and well-arranged plan.
1) The day we landed in Keflavik we had a day to reorient due to the 5 hour time change. Driving was not too different from the US so that part was fairly easy.
2) The idea of doing snorkeling and hiking excursions the first 4 days of our trip was a great idea as we had the most energy to do these adventures at the beginning of the trip.
3) The food and drink recommendations were also great! The food in Iceland was superb!
4) The climbs the participants needed to perform on the Solheimajokull glacier hike turned out to be too much physically for me as I have asthma. I was able to get on the glacier yet not able to complete the climb which was disappointing. My daughter and others in the group completed successfully. I was able to complete all our other adventures.
5) We had specific excursions that Eric arranged and tickets purchased. He also included self guided things to look at and do which we did most of. This was very helpful to have these additional things to do that were discretionary.
6) My favorite and the reason I chose Iceland was to snorkel between the tectonic plates in the Silfra fissure. This was amazing! My daughter's favorites were the snorkeling and the Solheimajokull glacier hike.
7) When we arrived in Reykjavik for our last 3 nights, we didn't account for time to go to any museums. It would have been helpful to have an estimated time to allow for the self guided things to do.
8) I would not recommend the Fosshotel Nupar. It had mold in corners on the outside door and the bathroom. The Greenhouse Hotel in Hveragerdi and the Exeter in Reykjavik were wonderful.
9) We were well prepared for the weather with the suggestions we received for clothing needed for our trip.
10) We were charged for car rental which was not expected as it is not listed in the Excludes section of the itinerary. Is this correct?
10) We cannot say enough how impressed we are with the arrangements Eric made for us. There were no surprises...other than the car rental charge.

What a fantastic adventure in Iceland! My Tour planner, Gummi, was so incredibly helpful with planning out my schedule so I could see as much as Iceland as possible in the time I had available. He even told me exactly how long I should spend at each landmark if I wanted to get to my scheduled activity later in the day. It was a very “active“ vacation, but I couldn’t recommend enough. Thanks so much, Kimkim and Gummi!

We had an amazing trip to Iceland due to all of the planning from Gummi. He was GREAT to work with! The hotels were fantastic, and his driving routes were very easy to follow. We would highly recommend Gummi to anyone!

Rinolda was AMAZING! I took my 17 y/o niece on a 9 day adventure through Iceland. I shared my goals with Rinolda- I wanted to see as much as we could without overwhelming a teenager with too rigourous a schedule. She nailed it. And on extremely short notice! Everything was so well organized. I especially appreciated the drive plan she provided for each day. We knew exactly where were were going, how long each stretch was and she even had suggestions for stops along the way with interesting things to see and places to stop for snacks and meals. I can not say enough about how wonderful it was to have such a well planned and organized trip.

Each day felt like a new adventure and we LOVED taking in all the beautiful scenery! Highlights for us were the Arnarstapi-Hellnar Coastal Walk- the views were breathtaking! Truly spectacular. And the small hidden gem resturant at the end of the trail tucked in the hillside over a secluded beach topped off an already awe inspiring day. The fish soup was *chefs kiss*.

The Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon zodiac boat tour was spectacular. This blew my mind. Gorgeous, informative, the company had incredible guides and the views, including seeing the seals and being up close and immersed in the beauty of the Lagoon is definitely an experience that should not be missed.

I honestly can not say enough about the quality of the trip, the details, the planning and all of the suggestions. So happy we found KimKim and especially, Rinolda.

I travelled to Iceland with my 18-year old son and we both had an amazing trip. The service from Hanna was exceptional. Every aspect of our trip was well planned, catered to our requirements and needs and followed a detailed discussion. Hanna suggested a couple of experiences we haven’t heard about before. And, she remained responsive even after everything was agreed and paid for and stayed in touch while we were in Iceland.
Definitely a Mum and Son trip to remember.

This was our first time working with a travel agency and we enjoyed the experience. We had a great time and we feel we saw a lot more with Adam’s itineraries than we would have if we planned the trip ourselves. The car and the hotels and apartments he picked for us were perfect and we felt really comfortable the whole trip, which says a lot since we had definite budget constraints. Highlights were Skaftafell Nature Preserve, Svinafellsjokull, Vik, the Westman Islands, and Olafsvik. We are grateful for everything and we will reach out again when we are ready to plan our next trip! Thanks!

We had a short amount of time to plan our trip, and Alicia came through with great suggestions and wonderful accommodations. We particularly enjoyed the Puffins and Volcanos tour with Ebbi on the Westman Islands! Alicia was responsive and knowledgeable, and it's hard to pick a favorite part of our trip as everything was wonderful in very different ways! The only things that kept the experience from being a 5/5 review were finding out when we got to our hotel in the Westman Islands that we were on the 3rd floor of a hotel with no elevator (and a lot of heavy luggage), and not having clearer check in instructions attached to our reservation at the Glacier View Guesthouse. I also had to spend several hours plotting out drive times between each attraction and average time spent at each, in order to ensure we'd arrive at our timed destinations on time and not miss out on anything. Having this information available ahead of time would have saved me several hours of work, but I'm glad I took the time to do it as it made our trip much less stressful!

Most incredible trip ever! I wanted to plan this trip right … an unforgettable 7 days in Iceland with my family. It was daunting. And then I found Noga at KimKim. Wow! Wow! Wow! Our trip was flawless. From the perfectly planned itinerary that catered to our interests, to extra tips along the way and details I didn’t realize I’d need to know, to the easy messaging app and phone calls we had to make sure we had everything perfect and could ask questions … perfection. All of our scheduled events and hotels were also flawless. The team reached out to us while on our trip to check in and to even alert us of an erupting volcano that was happening on the island but researched and reassured us that it wouldn’t be affecting our itinerary and flights home. I would 100% recommend KimKim and Noga’s expertise to plan a trip to Iceland.

Eric put together a great itinerary for our group of 7, with age ranges from 9 to 77. We were able to travel together in a large 4x4 van. The accommodations were very nice and ranged from cabins, to villas, to downtown apartments. Eric was able to put together an itinerary that allowed for both shared activities and separate activities based on physical capabilities. All the information provided was detailed, clear, and really made for a nice, relaxing, but also very adventurous trip. In 8 days, we were able to see many of the highlights of Iceland, but also had plenty of time for exploring and side missions. Overall fantastic trip!

Everything was amazing and Hanna did an outstanding job preparing the trips and daily itineraries. The only suggestion I have and I should have caught this myself was the first day required me to drive after my overnight flight. I should have stayed in Reykjavík that first day but that was my fault not Hanna’s

As a single parent, it was tough for me to design a trip while working and doing housework. My girls were excited about visiting Iceland, but I was overwhelmed with options/decisions to be made. That's where Emanuela came to our rescue! She responded quickly with a great plan that the kids loved. Once we arrived in Iceland, she was communicative and responded quickly if I had questions or concerns.

We left feeling that we got a good first taste of Iceland -- now we want to go back!

short bus ride to the start of the river rafting--the bus was a bit rustic, but part of the fun experience.

Our family of four had a fantastic week in Iceland, thanks to Gummi’s thoughtful recommendations and expert trip planning. From catching an error in our flight booking to promptly answering questions along the way, his professionalism and good humor were much appreciated.

Be sure to get a rental car with the Wi-Fi package—it made accessing maps and travel info on the go so much easier (and kept the teenagers happy, too). Speaking of maps, Gummi’s daily trip guides were incredibly helpful. Each morning, we could simply hop in the car, knowing our route was already planned out.

The accommodations along the way suited both parents and teens, giving everyone space to relax and recharge. Highlights of the trip included the stunning sights along the South Shore—Glacier Lagoon, Reynisfjara, and Seljalandsfoss—as well as a scenic stretch of gravel road (AWD!!) that led us to Fitjarfoss and a beautiful overlook of Uxavatn during our drive from Húsafell to the Golden Circle.

We loved the entire trip..except for the parking app snafus. The ice cave and lava show were stand outs. The huge vistas, mountains, waterfalls, landscapes were amazing. Horses and Sheep everywhere, very enjoyable as we drove through the countryside.

Loved seeing goats at the lava hotel. We got to see gummi our travel agent when going to the ice caves so that was really cool. When boating in glacier lagoon, we saw a bunch of cute seals. The puffins were extremely cute to see also. Lots of cool waterfalls. The first apartment we stayed in had a really comfy mattress. Loved the trip ^^

I feel like Rinolda was over-worked or overwhelmed or something; she was slow to get back to us, a little snappy, and repeatedly did not listen/ absorb what we were saying about our arrival dates being staggered. I wouldn't use the service again; we spent more time going back and forth with her than we would have actually planning it ourselves.

The entire trip was amazing. The itinerary set up very well. All of the tours and guides were fantastic. The glacier walk was very interesting and the kayaking beautiful. We especially enjoyed the whale watching trip. The guide and Captain were both exceptional and made it very fun. We loved how close we were able to get to the whales We were lucky to enjoy good weather on all the tour days as well. One of our favorite spots was the Við Lónið Guesthouse, and the town of Seyðisfjörður.

The only issue we encountered was the Torg GuestHouse. Once we got it, the room was so small that there was barely any space for our luggage or to walk around. There was also construction going on around the square so it just didn't have a good feel.

All the other hotels were great to nice and we enjoyed our stay at each - especially the ones that had pools to lounge in.
