Our trip to Iceland was the third trip we have used Kim Kim to plan. We have never been disappointed. Adam was so helpful in putting together a trip that reflected us. He made sure we were prepared for the weather, the driving, and anything else that might come up. We appreciated how he put together a trip that was geared for us and not just for anyone going to Iceland. He offered several options for us, and we did several of them and enjoyed every one of them. The hotel accomodations were perfect and the breakfasts were wonderful. I'm glad he included one rather unconventional type of lodging that let us experience a differnt style of overnight that included a very interesting film about a local soccer player. He did run it by us before making the reservation so we would know it was a tad different. Great way to end our evening. Our last night accomodations in Reykevik were in a perfect location - close enough to walk to some fun local spots, and a short drive to the airport. Adam also made sure we had the perfect rental car for driving on the roads in the northwestern area and in the mountains.

Dimmuborgir Guesthouse
Mývatn

I slept SO well and the breakfast was probably one of the best I've ever had. Wonderful way to wake up after a long day's journey and flight from Minnesota .

It was so quiet and peaceful, I had one of my best night's sleep ever. Also, the drinking water in Iceland is so pure and special
The Freezer Apartments
Hellissandur

This place is different, more like a private youth hostel with crazy, beautiful paintings all over, including the room. People were friendly and we enjoyed watching a local film in their little theater at night. They do not serve breakfast, but I'm still glad we stayed there and got to experience it.

Skuggi Hotel Reykjavík by Keahotels

This was the perfect place to end our trip. It was easy to find, had underground parking, and was in a perfect location to allow us to explore fun areas in Reykevik the day we arrived and in the morning before we left. The breakfast was very good and offered several choices. The staff could not have been more helpful.

I liked that they offered underground parking that made it easy to unload our car and get to our room.

Activity Review
Northern Lights Hunt tour
Iceland

We have done a Northern Lights tour before in the Arctic Circle (on a previous Kim Kim tour). While we did not see any northern lights, the person taking us around was thorough, passionate about Iceland and the northern lights, and we had an enjoyable time.

Thank you for your fantastic review Sue! It's great to hear that once again Kimkim meets your travel expectations. I think it's good that we (great cooperation, thanks!) decided on this trip plan and that you enjoyed some off-the-beaten-path locations!
