Othman A

Amazing Icelandic Adventure!

Othman worked with us to plan a spectacular trip to Iceland! Our trip was a trip of a lifetime for me, my husband, and my father. We participated in amazing activities, saw spectacular sites, and fell in love with every part of Iceland that we visited. I would highly recommend KimKim to anyone who is looking for expert guidance and planning for their trip to Iceland. We loved every thing we did and cannot thank KimKim enough for helping us plan this trip, and I will definitely use them for trips in the future.

Othamn tried to work with in our parameters and did a great job with the sudden change to the schedule in the end. He and the local people were able to fix the issue with the dive group in a quick manner. The over all trip was great and was thoroughly enjoyed. If I were to do it over, I would have suggested an extra day or two in Reykjavík instead of the day on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula as the time of the year we were there was not the high time for the wildlife in that area.

Our trip to Iceland was amazing, our best family trip yet! Othman was very helpful with making a few changes to our itinerary in the planning stage and our whole trip turned out perfectly . The website was easy to navigate and use on our day to day travels. There were no issue with any of the hotel reservations or our excursions. We knew it would be an active vacation but it was just the right amount of travel time and activity planned for each day.

If I had to make one suggestion - I would have preferred zodiac boat tour at Fjallsarlon over Jokulsarlon which is extremely crowded with many tourists and a lot of boats in water. Fjallsarlon was just as beautiful, less crowds, and their tours go right up to glacier.

We loved all of your hotel recommendations, except Hotel Selfoss. We did not have a good experience there. It felt like a college dorm and cafeteria, our room was noisy and not clean with very outdated furniture.

Hope this feedback helps!

Great guide and excursion!

Othman’s planned the perfect trip for us to Iceland. He listened to what we wanted for the trip and his 7 day journey was ON POINT!
He had the road trip perfectly mapped out as to not back track and it kept us busy but we also had plenty of time to “stop and smell the roses”
10 out of 10!

Cheers!

Othman was EXCELLENT! Very responsive and helpful. He was super knowledgeable about Iceland and had great recommendations specific to our family's interests. The accommodations were unique and really great. Othman found unique outings for us and handled all bookings, confirmations and any small issue that arose. We will definitely book with KimKim again!

The hotel was definitely very dated - not sure the interiors have been updated in 15+ years. But, it was clean. A bit far from interesting spots in and the center of the city. The breakfast was really excellent.

Quality of Experience

It was awesome to have Othman help me piece together this trip for our family! He patiently guided me through every question I had and we pieced together a trip that was manageable and well priced for our budget. Each day was an astounding adventure. The guided day with Midgard Base Camp was flawless, Magnus and Steph gave us a perfect day. We returned to the base for dinner which was our favorite meal in 6 days! One of the best parts of working with Othman and kimkim was the clear itinerary we ended up with. kimkim made all of our reservations and purchased tickets for our 3 biggest day trips. We rented a car and drove 600+ miles with the added bonus of easy short side trips listed for us to consider, we hit most of them and every one was breathtaking. They also kept in touch to make sure that our trip was going well and to contact them if need be. I HIGHLY recommend kimkim for any trip anywhere in the world. It would've been a daunting and stressful task for me to put together this trip of a lifetime!

We loved our trip to Iceland. We wanted a lot of flexibility in our travels and KimKim provided what we needed. Othman was great to work with and provided excellent recommendations. He booked us nice hotels and a few tours but also gave us recommended stops along the way of our trip that were great. He was responsive to questions and a pleasure to work with.

This was a wonderful trip in a beautiful country. The thing I want to thank Othman for is listening to me when I said we wanted to go somewhere beautiful, nature-focused and away from the main tourist attractions. The itinerary he built for us ended up being nearly perfect. The accommodations were also all really good. We wished we could have spent more time in Iceland and will def use KimKim again for another trip to a country we aren't familiar with. Thank you so much for all your help!

I almost never want to travel without using KimKim. Othman was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I told him the region I wanted to travel and the activities we were interested in, and he tailored an already wonderful base itinerary to match exactly what we were looking for. Iceland was magnificent and everything we did went off without a hitch. We didnt have to think about ANYTHING. Reservations were all set up for us, including a car, and the itinerary even had notes for activities if we happened to have extra time. I cannot say enough. PLUS I got engaged on the trip so, even better! We will definitely use KimKim for our honeymoon!

Othman was super helpful, communicative, and planned an amazing trip for my sister and I to Iceland. It was probably the best trip we have gone on and it wouldn’t have been possible without Othman’s help. Our excursions, hotel accommodations, and daily schedule were great and matched our needs appropriately. Can’t recommend Othman enough!
