Hanna Kravchenko

Overall our trip to Iceland was superb! So many wonderful things to see. Weather is always an unknown and even though a couple of our scheduled events were affected , we were able to reschedule with minimal hassle. Hanna ( our kimkim planner) made this very easy and promptly communicated any updated itinerary.
I didn’t realize that we would be issued a mobile router device to take with us throughout the trip. That wifi access proved essential to guide us throughout the trip, especially while driving.

Hanna was communicative and helpful when planning our trip. She kept our preferences in mind when planning sights and locations, as well as our budget. It was really nice to be able to trust a specialist to take off some of the overwhelm of choices during the trip. We loved seeing the black sand beaches and glaciers on the east coast of Iceland.

We planned a 16-day, self-driving trip to circle Iceland. Our travel rep did a great job with pacing, activities, things to see and do along the way, dining suggestions, as well as hotel selections. There were no surprises, our reservations were always there, and our rep was quick to answer any questions. This is our second big trip that we organized through KimKim, and we have been impressed with the personnel and agencies they have hooked us up with.

Hanna was so helpful pointing out the best things to do and planning a terrific itinerary customized to what we were looking to do.

She was responsive and able to make changes during planning when requested. She understood what would work best for us and provided great tips in the itinerary.

Guides who were especially good were Johnathan for the Silfra snorkel and Pawel for the ice cave.

Hanna was so responsive and truly met our travel needs. Everything was well documented and in a flowing fashion for easy travel. All of her suggestions were spot on! Loved it!

Hanna was sooo incredibly helpful in planning the perfect trip to Iceland. All of her recommendations were awesome. And the whole process was seamless, from car rental to hotels to each of our tours.

An absolute must do. One of the highlights of the trip! Better for families or inexperienced rafters. If more advanced, do the east river.

Hanna set up a great trip for us. Every hotel had our reservation and we were able to check in effortlessly. The details in the trip plan were thorough and we were able to see every sight we wanted to see. The organization of the trip plan was helpful so that we were able to know what was coming up and how long it would take to get there. We have never done a self-drive holiday before, but definitely will again. We don’t like being led around in a tour group, and the flexibility of self-drive gave us the convenience of a tour with the freedom of taking our own holiday.

Katla Ice Cave

Iceland

Super fun. A bit physically challenging, but in a good way. You go right inside an ice cave on a glacier and then through it to come out on the other side to hike on the glacier a short way.

Hanna did an amazing job planning our Icelandic trip. She asked what type of family adventure we wanted and zoned in our family activity style with insight and great suggestions, which made our trip so memorable. When we had an issue with one hotel she was responsive and quickly resolved the problem. I cannot recommend Hanna enough. Thank you Hanna.

Thank you so much Hanna for planning this memorable trip. Everything was meticulously planned as per our request. We went through many iterations to plan out what we wanted. Hanna's responses were quick and was always on top of things. She ensured that things such as vegetarian food etc in the remotest corner of Iceland were available. We had good support to handle our emergency issues when we landed there with flight cancellations and kid falling sick. They even handled refunds quite promptly. Tours were well arranged and convenient.

We had the shuttle booked but due to flight delay ended up going directly from the airport in private car and then to hotel.

1st Day South Coast

Iceland

Troll expeditions was on time and Yohan was very friendly. Shared lots of tidbits about the country and place which was very interesting. The bus had wifi so was perfect. He made sure we had timely bathroom breaks, lunch and dinner. We were glad to find vegetarian options at every stop. Weather on day 1 wasnt great with rain and wind. So we went directly for glacier hiking with some stops based on weather. Glacier hiking and ice cave tour was great. Need to have good shoes, jacket, gloves, snow pants. Inspite of that we got wet and cold. Wish they would provide appropriate gear so its more pleasant experience. All our gear and shoes were completely wet and had to use hair dryer and paper to dry so we could use it next day. The guest house was basic but good food.

Golden Circle & Horse Riding

Golden Circle

Golden circle tour was ok. The guide was little hard to comprehend and so tough to understand the information. Weather was not very cooperative either. Drive was comfortable. Falls were great. Geysers were nothing spectacular. We were eager to see the tectonic plates but again was hard to appreciate it completely without the guide info. Horse riding at Eldehaus farm was awesome. They provided all the right gear and ride itself was quite nice. My 9 year old enjoyed as well. The lunch was simple but good.

Northern Lights Hunt Super Jeep Tour

Iceland

We were most excited about it. Supposedly, we had moderate chance of seeing northern lights but we couldn't due to lingering clouds. Pick up was little late but guide was very informative. He did try to going to few locations to try to spot but didn't work out. They provide hot chocolate and cookie which was good. They did offer a free tour at later time but since it was our last day we couldnt really use it.
