We had an amazing time in Iceland. Traveled first week in November with husband and two teenage boys ages 13 and 14. We loved having time to explore Reykjavík with suggestions from our amazing KimKim planner Gummi. Gummi really went above and beyond organizing our trip taking into account my boys and their interests. The dog sledding was the highlight of the trip along with the ice cave. Everything was mapped out each day and we just had to hit start on our google map. Hardly any thinking involved as Gummi had done all of the preparation for us! On a long drive back from our ice cave tour, our rental car had a tire leak and we had to put air in it twice. Panicking I reached out to the rental company and Gummi. Gummi took charge and when we arrived back at our hotel someone from road side assistance was there to pick up the car, fixed it, and an hour later knocked on our door with the keys all done. If we were on our own, it would have been a nightmare to figure out as it was late at night. I was so thankful and appreciative.
All in all a wonderful trip, with great restaurant suggestions, wonderful scenery, and a breathtaking country. I hope to be back soon as there is so much more to explore.

I would make sure people know it has a washer and dryer. I didn't know this and found out on my own. It made all the difference packing.
