8-Day Ring Road Itinerary: Explore Iceland’s Top Places Along Its Most Famous Road

The team was able to work in my added side trips to the schedule in a very efficient way.
Halldor and the team were great, answering all my "silly" questions about how things work in Iceland.
The communication initiated by the team did stop abruptly once my balance was paid though. It would have been better to at least drop me a line a week or so before my departure to verify everything was arranged.

Overall the hotels were excellent and the trip-planning advice was spot-on. I was thinking of renting a car in Amalfi but was VERY glad I did not! Great job.
One hotel was not great, since it provided little in the way of service. We wished we had a guide in Pompeii. I'm sure I'm the one who didn't want it, but it would have been good to have one.
thanks Molly! glad you liked the South of Italy and thanks for these lovely pictures! :)
Hope to have you again here in Italy!
All the best,
Giorgia

Fantastic trip. Amanda did a great job getting everything set up for me. And Suman was an excellent, conscientious, and able guide. I was very happy with everything.
Hi Brad, thanks for your great review, it was our pleasure! Sorry we didn't get to meet while you were here, it was great to hear from you along the way though and know that everything was going well and hearing your anecdotes like when your guide becoming a temporary tea house owner, that gave me a giggle :)
Cheers,
Amanda

Hi Mark, thanks for your feedback, great to have been able to give you a trip of a life time. Shame the feeling in the Yara tea house wasn't as great as in the other places but as you say it is hard for us to control. Glad you enjoyed the company of Dawa he is one of my own favorite travel companions on foot and by bike :-) Hope we will see you again in the Himalayas one day.
Thanks,
Mads.

Thanks KimKim! This was an excellent trip and having KimKim back-up was comforting. You connected me with Picos de Adventura, a superb tour company and their "adventures" could not have been more fun or beautiful.
Catia was great -- I also worked with Tiago and they were both tremendously helpful with getting my trip organized and with any questions I had along the way. This is a great company clearly focusing on the best possible customer service.
Dear Catherine. I am really glad we could help you building your holidays plan.
Thank you for your kind words!

An amazing job by the entire Quechua Treks team. From all of James's work picking the trek. Then preparing for it, to Mayra's work leading us on the trip it was simply amazing. I plan to use Quechua for any future trips to South America. I consider them a tremendous resource to have access to and will suggest that any of my friends looking do something in South America contact them.
As mentioned earlier James's responsiveness was tremendous. He seemed to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No question went unanswered for long.
Hi Mark, thanks for your review. Was great to have you here with us & the crew enjoyed the tour with you. Some great photos from it, I think you picked the best trek! All the best for your travels this year, and enjoy the trekking in Switzerland. Keep in touch.

If directions to the office were included, it would have been helpful for the 1st day. Also, having a dry, secure place to store phones/camera would be great for water adventures so we could have taken pictures. Alternatively, if there was a photo package, for the water adventures, we would have signed up for it.
Dear Lee, thank you for the feedback.
If you have a look at the Welcome Kit I sent you which included all the information about our address and directions to our office, you'll find it there, so I thought it would be easy for you to find us. As for the water adventures, please notice that we are on a zodiac boat and there's not too much room there for storage but I appreciate your comments and will try to find a solution for this.

Nearly perfect, but one suggestion: the agent might let the client know when to expect to receive confirmation and final details....versus having the client wonder when are the details coming (we became a little anxious so we asked)....especially important for a first-time client.
Linda was great and went the extra mile to deal with an extra night....
Hi Peter, thank you for your feedback, very important one!
During the peak season it does sometimes take a bit of time to get all the final details. A lot of services and products to be finalized and fit together with information from the different suppliers. I will improve this process and make it more clear to the client when they can expect the final details. Thank you for the feedback.
It was a pleasure to have you and Alden in Norway!

Thank you for a wonderful trip it was great to have all accommodation and attraction fees organized and the driver and vehicle were excellent. My daughter and I enjoyed everything and even had time to fit in a couple of extras with the help of Nishanthna using our free time. I have told everybody what a great time I had and have recommended KimKim as the people to see. I am now in the process of deciding where and when my next trip will be so will be in touch at a later date. Thank you, Gary & Julia.

Amazing trip.. a must to see the islands from your own boat! An experience to not miss in life!
Veselka was beyond amazing.. made everything so easy. Our bags got lost and she got them to an island that we were on. A very wonderful experience
Dear Kimberly,
thank you so much for kind words. I am so happy that you enjoyed your sailing adventure.
Wishing you all the best,
Veselka

It was very close to perfect. But, instead of sending a series of emails with the rental car, accommodation, and activities information, it would be better if all that information was accessible from the kimkim website so everything would be in one place.
Chris planned great activities, and he did a wonderful job with the accommodations. I wish there was more detail in his itinerary, though. Maybe he could include the price range for recommended restaurants and/or a warning that certain places had very limited restaurant options.

We were delighted with the quick response to our request on kimkim for a short trek in Nepal. We had a delightful time and the company that supported us was wonderful! They did a great job in setting up our trip, responding to numerous questions and then being at every hand off along the way in our trip. Our guide was wonderful, helpful, patient and filled with good information.
Amanda was most helpful. We had a lot of last minute questions and she was very responsive. At the end of the trip she made sure she got all of our feedback. A very positive experience!
Hi Sabrina, thanks so much for your review and for taking the time to give your feedback at the end of your trip, this helps us make sure that we and our suppliers are delivering the best quality trips and to make changes/improvements for the future. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with Pasang :)
Cheers,
