Iceland Travel Agents

We have had two great trips to Iceland thanks to Kimkim and our local expert, Rinolda! For this trip, I contacted Kimkim through the website and got timely call back from an agent. She listened to my requests and reconnected me with Rinolda.

Working with Rinolda again made our second trip to Iceland unique. She suggested two itineraries. We chose to travel the complete Rung Road. Rinolda took the time to ask if there were specific places we wanted to visit and things we wanted to do.... read more

We have had two great trips to Iceland thanks to Kimkim and our local expert, Rinolda! For this trip, I contacted Kimkim through the website and got timely call back from an agent. She listened to my requests and reconnected me with Rinolda.

Working with Rinolda again made our second trip to Iceland unique. She suggested two itineraries. We chose to travel the complete Rung Road. Rinolda took the time to ask if there were specific places we wanted to visit and things we wanted to do. She then put together a trip for us that took us to different places as well as locations we wanted to see in the summer.

Once we were in Iceland, Rinolda reached out to us each day. She answered our questions quickly . One day she found us a new restaurant to try. All the hotels and activities were booked for us. There is a Tip Summary that has all the information needed in one place. Each day included a Driving Plan that ran on Google maps.

Our sincere thanks to Rinolda for being our guide to Iceland.

Árnanes Country Hotel

This is a family run hotel which is quite nice. The rooms were comfortable. We felt like we were staying in a cabin. Once the rain cleared, the views were expansive with the ocean in the distance. The restaurant was open for breakfast only. What they offered was good, but there were limited choices.

I was considering planning my family's trip to Iceland myself, but got immediately overwhelmed when I sat down to do the research. I am so glad that I happened to come across the KimKim website, and that I got linked with Veronika as our local specialist! Our trip just ended and we are all still reeling with how much we got to see and do, how smoothly everything went, and how wonderful it was to have Veronika available to us 24/7 by WhatsApp message if we did have questions or need to move things around. I come from a family of historically late people, so there were a few times where we were running late for ticketed items or needed to move dinner reservations later. I messaged Veronika in these instances, and she was on it for me, contacting the places and letting me know if things could be moved around. I didn't expect Veronika to be as available as she was to me... I don't think I waited longer than 10 minutes for most of the responses from her throughout the trip. She really went above and beyond, and was responsive before the trip/able to make adjustments to the plan/hotel changes as needed beforehand via the chat in KimKim. I asked her to make the trip a blend of activity and relaxation since members of my family enjoy both, and she staggered hikes and relaxing hot springs perfectly so that the trip met everyone's needs. Best of all, we actually got to meet Veronika in person when we stopped in her city and we had dinner together. She was even more intelligent, funny, and adorable in person and we were so glad to have the opportunity to meet her. I would send any friend planning to go to Iceland to her to plan their trip. Thanks for linking me with her, KimKim!

Hanna set up a great trip for us. Every hotel had our reservation and we were able to check in effortlessly. The details in the trip plan were thorough and we were able to see every sight we wanted to see. The organization of the trip plan was helpful so that we were able to know what was coming up and how long it would take to get there.

We don’t like being led around in a tour group, and the flexibility of self-drive gave us the convenience of a tour with the freedom of taking our own holiday.

Katla Ice Cave

Iceland

Super fun. A bit physically challenging, but in a good way. You go right inside an ice cave on a glacier and then through it to come out on the other side to hike on the glacier a short way.

Lizbet was great. She understood our preferences and tried to accommodate them.

There are no restaurants nearby, no host or anyone to talk to, not sure about the safety there, so I did not go out to run by myself, and, very frustrating, it is not on Google maps.

Kayaking was cancelled due to wind.

Missed hot pools due to baggage delivery system breaking at the airport causing a 2 plus hour delay.

Ice cave tour was outstanding
Food recommendations were very helpful.
Maps and turn by turn guide got us to all out destinations.
Lizbet, thank you for the descriptions of all the nearby waterfalls and other tourist attractions. Extremely helpful.

I had a great time on the trip that Terry helped set up for me throughout Iceland. She was very responsive to my questions, had a lot of insider knowledge of the locations and activities, and made the process very easy. I'm generally an independent traveler, but having someone with local knowledge is invaluable. I got to see many sights that I would never had known about otherwise.

I had a great time on the trip that Terry helped set up for me throughout Iceland.

I'm generally an independent traveler, but having someone with local knowledge is invaluable. I got to see many sights that I would never had known about otherwise. The hotels selected by Terry and KimKim were very comfortable and, as much as possible, conveniently located. Here are a couple of tips from me for future travelers: If possible, spend more than one day in Akureyri. It's a great small city and a jumping off point for other activities in the area. Also, be prepared for any kind of weather at any time - pack accordingly. The whale watching tour was great and Husavik is beautiful town to visit. Definitely partake in the nature baths in any part of the country; they are very soothing after driving (and some days driving will be long and tiring). Overall, this was a great trip and kimkim made planning so much easier. I will use them in the future for other travels.

Bjórböðin Beer Baths

Iceland

This was a cool experience. It was fun and the place is very nice. I didn't eat at the restaurant but the menu looked good. The room with the beer bath and tap is private, clean, and you should definitely try it out, since you came all this way anyway.

This was a nice large natural bath. It was very soothing and had a swim up bar that was very convenient. It has great views overlooking the water like an infinity pool. Viewing the sunset from the water was very nice.

Husavik Whale Watching

Iceland

I highly recommend this activity. But check the time of year vs whale populations in the harbor. I was there when the whales were in abundance and got to see many. But it may be different at other times of year. The boats can accommodate many people and even though there were lots of people, I never felt crowded. There was always room to move about the vessel. Also, they were nice enough to give everyone hot chocolate and a cinnamon roll on the way back to port.

The boats felt safe, sturdy, and fit lots of people comfortably.

The Geothermal Vok Baths

Iceland

This is a very nice facility and the staff was great. They have the main pools, plus 2 floating pools in the river. It is possible to jump into the freezing river and then climb back into the pools. It was a unique experience. A nice touch is also a corridor where you can walk right into the pool without having to brave the cold outside air. Of course, I learned that too late.
