Rita Tallarom

Rita was highly organized, responsive, and service-oriented. Recent volcanic activity and weather conditions required minor adjustments to our plans. Rita was always on the ball when tweaks needed to be made. Would definitively work with kimkim and Rita again.

Amazing spring break in Iceland. First time to this island that truly does seem out of the pages of a fantasy novel or tele-series. Rita was our local specialist and arranged our trip specifically to our needs. She was prompt and answered all our questions and queries. She also provided a ton of helpful tips to make our trip more seamless.

Activity Reviews

Whale Watching Ólafsvík

Iceland

Although all of us were tired from the long flight in from US, the boat trip from Olafsvik woke everyone up. We had close encounters with Orcas, Sperm whales and porpoises. It was a great start to our vacation.

Reykjavik Food and Drink Adventure - Local Evening Experience

Reykjavík

Was the highlight of our time in Reykjavik. Stevie took us on a culinary tour and also filled us up with local knowledge. We even got to taste the fermented shark (rather gross). But rest of the food was amazing.

Crystal Blue Ice Cave

Iceland

Was great. Tom (from Devon, UK) was an awesome guide. And based on his recommendations we had one of the best fish and chips ever from the food truck.

Tom was fantastic

Blue Lagoon

Iceland

The Blue Lagoon itself was wonderful including the pool and their facilities. But the weather played spoil sport, it was cold, windy and rainy and rather miserable. I am sure the experience would have been 5-star worthy had the weather cooperated.

Rita did a great job listening to our wishes on our 6 day trip to Iceland and we were blown away with the trip plan, scenery, activities and people. Other the Hotel Katla, the accommodations were amazing and catered to individual travelers. Hotel Katla in Vik focued on large tour groups and the food was ok.

Jana of Troll Expeditions was a great guide for our snorkeling trip and she made us feel at home on 36 degree water.

We were so glad to go into winter with fewer crowds and great weather.

KimKim did a fine job of planning my trip and itinerary. My specialist, Rita, is a pro and knows the land, the sights and tours, and the local accommodations. I had a few mishaps, a communication glitch or two, and of course some weather changes and cancellations. However, the responsiveness of Rita and the KimKim team was generally excellent, and I appreciate their assistance with my travel.

Rita was amazing to work with. She completely geared our trip to our interests and didn't overwhelm with hours of driving everyday. We were able to see some of the things which were a little bit off the beaten path, so were not overwhelmed with excessive tourists. The accommodations she arranged worked perfectly for our family of 4 (2 of whom are grown children so needed their own space). One day, weather didn't cooperate for our initial plan, and KimKim Team arranged for alternate suggestions and accommodations, taking the stress of our shoulders. We would use KimKim Team again.
