Iceland Travel Agents

Eric did a great job helping us plan an awesome 11-day trip to Iceland, circumnavigating the country with a good mix of sightseeing and activities. We rented a car at the Keflavik airport, spent one full day in Reykjavik including a guided city tour, then began driving counterclockwise around the island. The next four days were packed with unique adventures including "Into the Volcano", snorkeling in the Silfra fissure (in an insulated dry suit!), exploring an ice cave, and walking on the biggest glacier in Europe - all were absolutely wonderful.

That got us to the SE corner of Iceland and the remaining days were spent driving, checking out the beautiful sights, hiking, and going to 2 thermal spas. It was a fair amount of driving (2.5-4 hours/day) but allowed us to be immersed in the wonderful natural beauty, culture, and variety of the island. Of particular interest to us were some spectacular waterfalls, Hverir geothermal area (fumaroles, mudpots), Hvitserkur rock formation and beach w/lots of seals and seabirds on the Vatnsnes peninsula, and the Glaumbaer Museum w/traditional turf house.

We absolutely loved our visit to Iceland and our guide Gummi was amazing!! What a dramatic, beautiful and constantly changing country. So much to experience that picking a favourite thing is hard, but for me I would likely say it was the beaches, for my husband those beautiful little fishing villages. I can't imagine a better person to have shown Iceland to us than Gummi and his assistant Yara. He obviously loves Iceland and that made everything we explored more special. His stories were informative and very entertaining. And his ability to balance the whole trip, troubleshoot any glitches or necessary changes and do so seamlessly was admirable. But mostly what we appreciate was Gummi's warmth, kindness and humour in showing us his beautiful country and making us welcome.

Gummi was amazing on our 10 day Ring road tour. More than once he handled unexpected hiccups in our plan. When a restaurant cancelled dinner for our 21 person group he found us a new restaurant within 24 hours. He also had to get us back a hotel room that was cancelled without notice. He achieved that perfect balance between stopping at all the impressive natural wonders and allowing us time to appreciate the beauty we seeing. His great planning was exceeded only by his outstanding execution - he is a good driver, as well as funny and informative.

This was the first time I have used KimKim for travel and it was great. All hotels were good other than the last night in Reykjavik (the hotel was under construction, self check in only, did not have 3 separate beds as requested). All of the suggestions on our itineraries were most helpful. My favorite activities were the glacier hike and ice cave, the lava cave, and especially the PUFFINS! I expected to see them on a cliff via binoculars but they were just feet away from us and it was fabulous!

We and 19 friends had a SUPERLATIVE experience with Gummi. I cannot say in words how effective he was in all respects, as was his assistant Yara. He was great at the outset working with me on agenda. The customized attention he and his team gave from the moment welanded to the last cab ride to airport heading home was great. H em masterfully navigated the bad things that every trip involves, ie Covid case hotel and restaurant reservations that broke down etc.

He also has a great knowledge and sense of humor. All of our group connected with and appreciated him. Kimkim is lucky to contract with him.

Let me know if other questions. Give him a raise
