Alicia Jean-Talon

Alicia was fantastic! So easy to work with and definitely listened to what I wanted and planned accordingly. I really appreciated a video meeting to plan, it just felt more personal. She also checked in with me on arrival, made sure I was all set and that she was available should I need something while I was there and/or the office contact. I wanted to do as much as possible and at the same time, not have to do a lot of “thinking”..please just tell me where to be and when! The app made that so easy. My trip was jammed packed in the best possible way!

We had a wonderful planning experience with Alicia that resulted in an amazing trip to Iceland! Alicia was responsive to all of our requests and changes, both pre-trip and during the trip. She did a great job of adjusting the itinerary to our pacing and finding that line between having options and being overwhelmed with too many choices. When I had questions, it was so nice to be able to ask someone with local knowledge of the area and culture.

Icelandic hospitality is top-notch. The food is freshly prepared and incredibly good. The hotel/hostel staff are helpful and welcoming. We changed hotels nearly every night of a 2 week trip and only had 1 or 2 minor issues, which is pretty incredible! It was so nice to have everything booked and arranged so that we could just enjoy the experience.

It was so great to work with Alicia. She was so helpful and very responsive! I recommend doing a lot of your own research too so you can feel confident adjusting your plan if needed. I also recommend training ahead of time if you plan on hiking a lot. The elevation is a bear! 10 days was a great amount of time for our trip but would have loved maybe 2 more days. We rented a 4x4 and explored the golden circle and down to the south.
This was the greatest trip of my 50 years!

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.

Alicia was very responsive throughout. answering all questions, clarifying things, dealing with changes. Highlights were private Golden Circle tour, Reykavik Food tour, and the natural beauty. Would love to go back and see other areas we didn't get to this time around.

Our trip to Iceland with Alicia from KimKim Travel was absolutely amazing. The Magma hotel in Tunga was charming, and the food experiences were delicious and memorable. From the Blue Cave tour to the New Year’s cruise, every moment was well-organized and exceeded our expectations. We felt like family and created lifetime memories.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Alisha on our Iceland trip! Everything was so thoughtfully planned, and we especially appreciated the clear driving directions that made exploring on our own easy and stress-free. The premium puffin tour was absolutely incredible, and the kayak on the glacier lagoon was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also loved the hiking spots she recommended—especially Mulagljúfur Canyon, with its breathtaking views of waterfalls. The hotels she selected were top-notch and perfectly located, which made each stop along the way even more enjoyable. Alisha made the whole process smooth and enjoyable, and we’re so grateful for her expertise in creating such a memorable adventure!

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!
