A dream vacation in the Land of Fire and Ice

Iceland | Aug 12 - Aug 19, 2025

Adam's planning of our Iceland adventure was truly exceptional, exceeding expectations at every turn and demonstrating an unparalleled attention to detail.

Impeccable Organization: Every aspect of our journey was meticulously arranged, from the seamless car rental process right at Keflavík International Airport to the thoughtfully curated hotel bookings and restaurant suggestions throughout the trip. There was not a single hiccup with any reservation — each confirmation matched perfectly, check-ins were smooth, and the accommodations exceeded expectations in comfort and service. Our idiosyncratic requests, like a bathtub for one of our guests, were accommodated and taken care of; it would have taken hours for us to arrange all this, and even then, it would be anxiety-provoking about what we were actually going to get. Adam took all the anxiety out of the trip.

Thoughtful and Comprehensive Itinerary: The itinerary crafted by Adam made it easy to immerse ourselves in all the stunning natural beauty Iceland offers. Each day was carefully balanced: iconic sights like the Blue Lagoon, Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon were complemented by local experiences, hidden gems, and handpicked restaurants. We never felt rushed, yet every day was full of discovery, whether hiking to Svartifoss, admiring black sand beaches in Vík, or exploring the dramatic Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

Flexibility and Local Insights: Adam truly shone in his understanding of Iceland’s unique rhythm. Extra insurance options and practical advice (like checking the wifi device and using the Parka app) showcased a level of care that put us at ease. The itinerary included enough flexibility for spontaneous stops and local flavor, but also made sure we didn’t miss out on must-see experiences like the Zodiac boat tour on the glacier lagoon and whale watching in Olafsvik or going cave exploring in Vidgelmir.

Seamless Logistics and Personal Touch: From the first moment to the last, Adam @ Kimkim made us feel supported and informed, resulting in a worry-free experience. Directions were crystal-clear, driving plans and distances were provided for each segment, and suggestions for sightseeing and dining were always spot-on. We had very few quibbles with our trip. Even the smallest details, like museum recommendations or convenient parking tips, contributed to a flawless journey.

Conclusion: Adam delivered a superb, immersive, and beautifully choreographed tour of Iceland, allowing us to truly engage with the country’s landscapes, culture, and cuisine. With every detail so thoughtfully covered, all we had to do was enjoy the breathtaking wonders around us — and we will be raving about this trip for years to come. This was our first time using a travel specialist and we were a bit worried about the cost. However, when we realized all the hotel room costs (and breakfasts) and different activities, we realized that this was a very good decision in hindsight. While this is our first experience with Kimkim, it certainly will not be our last. We hope all their advisors are as helpful as Adam was.
