Above and Beyond our Expectations (even with a broken foot!)
Iceland

Sep 18 - Sep 26, 2022
Just returned from a brilliant trip to Iceland and have to thank Eva for putting together such a wonderful itinerary! As a "type A" trip planner kind of person, I am usually in charge of all of the details surrounding any trip we take as a family and/or with friends. That said, releasing everything to a stranger wasn't easy at first but the communication and suggestions from Eva quickly helped put me at ease. Hotels, tours, driving itineraries, etc - it was done with excellence and all there! She managed to fit in everything we requested and more in the 8 full days we had in Iceland and our tour around the ring road. Our only regret was that we didn't have more time to spend in her beautiful country!
One amazing detail Eva made happen was contacting her friend in Akuyeri to arrange a private opening of the Icelandic Aviation museum for my aviation obsessed father the day after his 75th birthday. Wow. That was above and beyond!
My wife also broke her foot a week before our trip and Eva was able to secure refunds for parts of the trip she couldn't participate in and provided great suggestions on how/where to navigate many of the places along the way so she could see as much as possible. Again, insights only an experienced local like Eva could provide.
All in all, dealing with Eva and KimKim was such a positive experience that I can see myself becoming a little less type A and using more of their services in the future! On behalf of myself, my wife, and my parents, thank you again for all you did to arrange and coordinate such a logistically seamless and wonderful trip for us!!!
Hotel Reviews
Great hotel, staff, location and breakfast. Only downside was finding parking in the area. Still, as a home base to explore downtown Reykjavik it was great!
Beautiful location with really large rooms. The outdoor hot tub on the bay was brilliant and of course having the northern lights show up overhead was a definite plus too!
Really nice hotel with a fascinating little museum too. Having a porch in the bay was beautiful as the fog slowly disappeared off the bay in the morning. Wish we had more time here!
Nice Dini g room and great food. The rooms were a little smaller and the views a little less dramatic than the other Fosshotels we stayed at but still very nice.
Nice hotel, a little dated compared to some of the other hotels we stayed at during our time in Iceland but still clean and comfortable. Had a great meal in the dining room.
Very stylish hotel and dining room. The rooms were comfortably large with nice views, same for the dining room. Nice location between the glacier fields and lagoons where you can get on the water with the icebergs calving off the glaciers.
Top notch hotel and dining room. A little out of town but that only adds to the views and feeling of seclusion chances are you are looking for! A great home base to explore the Myvatn area from.
