Othman A

Most memorsble guide was the bus driver on volcano/puffin tour on Westman, driver of TukTuk in Reyk., and 18 yr old french farm girl who led our horse ridr at Geysir Hestar. Favorite restaurant was English Cove in Bognares. Accomodations Helgafell farm cottage and guest house on Westman and Uthlid. Every waterfall was spectacular. South Coast, Westman and Snaefellsnes Peninsula were liked better than Golden Circle cause of crowds . Favorite museums Perla and Memorial Museum on Westman. Zodiac tour in Jokulsarlon awesome. Friedheimar unique. Krauma Baths terrific. Spectacular back road from Bognares to Stykkisholmur we discovered by making a wrong turn.

Otham was great in booking exactly what we wanted. Communicated well. Would use Kim Kim again and will recommend to friends.

Othman was a wonderful help when planning our trip. He customized it to fit our needs and worked hard to fix things when our flight was delayed a day (storms in the US - no fault of anyone). We were still able to fit everything in and it was wonderful. Truly an experience of a lifetime and will use this service again!

Kimkim did an amazing job with our trip. During our trip, we had a few snags (not by them) but the team was there to help guide us during a difficult time during our trip. Once everything got corrected , we got back on track, with no worries if something else came up unexpectedly. We knew they would be there!
I will be booking my next vacation through this company and many more.

Othman asked the right questions and listened to our particular needs. We like having a little space, we wanted nature and some flexibility to linger if we wanted. Othman got it all. Often it was ‘go to this spot just next to this popular spot for a similar but more intimate experience.’ Or ‘this is not to miss and these others are optional’. It worked perfectly for us.

We had fabulous trip to Iceland. We enjoyed the comfort of knowing that we had a solid itinerary planned for us, car and accommodations booked.
On arrival we got a call from the rental car company who met us and conveniently took us to our rental car. Everything was easy, which was really nice when you arrive at 6am without a good nights sleep.
We drove to The Secret Lagoon - which we enjoyed immensely. The place was clean, friendly and enjoyable.
Our first accommodations, Blue Hotel, was very nice. It was clean, friendly and quiet. The breakfast was really good. We also enjoyed the hot tub which was the perfect end to a day of touring.
The restaurant across the road - Mika - was excellent.
The day we spent seeing the sights on the Golden Circle was terrific. The directions were clear and the description were accurate.

Our next hotel in Vik, the Farm House was decent, but did not have the same warm vibe of the Blue Hotel. We had an issue with our door not locking. The solution from the staff was that “this is Iceland” no one will bother you. While this might be true we were not comfortable sleeping in an unlocked room. We did finally get the door to lock so it turned out fine in the end. We just were surprised that the staff did not seem to take our concerns seriously.

We stayed in one of the lodges which was nice. It had 2 rooms. But we suspect there might have been a mold issue- Dorian is very sensitive to mold and had an allergy flare up while staying there. (He was fine before and after our stay there.)
The breakfast was decent but nothing special.

The first day in the Vik area we saw the nearby glacier- which was incredible. We also went to the beach and enjoyed the views. We would recommend the su ur’Vik we had a very nice meal there and the service was great.

The second day in Vik we decided to scrap the itinerary which was a long day of driving to a park and another glacier. I’m sure would have been wonderful but we were tired of driving and wanted a day to rest. We went to the lava show - which we really enjoyed. Then a quick walk on the black sand beach. We would not recommend the halldorskaffi - the meal was not to our liking and the service was not friendly.

Our next stop was Reykjavik. We stayed at the Residents Inn. We were upgraded to a family suite. It was very nice, comfortable and convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful. One small thing is that this hotel has many locations so we ended up at the main location which was not where we were to stay. There was a lot of construction going on around the main building so we could not park near the entrance. Fortunately we decided not to take our luggage until we knew where we were going so it worked out fine. Just wanted to let you know for future reference.

We had a very fun evening wandering the streets of Reykjavik - great atmosphere loads of places to eat, drink and shop.

The next morning we walked to our whale watching tour with Elding. We enjoyed this immensely! The day was beautiful and we saw dolphins and 2 kinds of whales. 🐳

In the afternoon we walked to the local swimming pool - we throughly enjoyed the hot tubs and local custom of spending time soaking in the wonderfully warm waters. For dinner we went to the Hereford Steakhouse- another fabulous meal. I will also add that we really appreciated having breakfast included with our stay, they brought a very nice spread to the room each day with fresh bread delivered by 8am. This was a very thoughtful addition to the plan - thank you!

On the final day as we made our way to the airport we went to Seltun geothermal area.
The drive from Reykjavik to Seltun was beautiful! Would definitely recommend this detour.

I am not very tech savvy and maybe there is a way to do this that I am not aware of but one thing that was slightly annoying about the itinerary is that we had to scroll through the whole thing to get to each day’s plan. It might be easier if there were tabs for each day so you could go directly to the day without scrolling the whole thing. If there is a way to do this that I am not aware of perhaps a short tutorial on how to use the system would be helpful.

Thanks for planning a wonderful trip for us!!
We would recommend your services to others.
