Iceland Offbeat

The process was so easy. And Alicia (our specialist) was incredible! She answered every dumb question I had, was always available and did a great job helping us plan our trip to Iceland. I would 100% use kimkim again.

We had a great 8 days in Iceland. The app was perfect. The room selection was excellent. We were a family of 13 including 4 kids under the age of 6. I think I made the right choice picking your service. Luka did a great job putting it all together for us Thank you again for the help

Our trip to Iceland so much fun. The itinerary Adam designed gave us the right amount of driving and sight-seeing to fill the entire day. We decided not to do the Ring Road which was the right decision for us. We had an issue with the rental car which was promptly resolved. Hotels were very good and when we were able to eat at a recommended restaurant, the food was fantastic.

I can highly recommend our itinerary for number and types of sights seen and time behind the wheel. The summaries of the sights were helpful.

I contacted Adam during the trip and he was prompt in all his responses. He had provided and "emergency" number but I took that to mean a real emergency rather than issues we had when we were on the ground! So I probably bugged him more than necessary but he took it with good humor.

Reykjavik Food Walk

This was ok but the food provided was not that good. We did get the opportunity to try the fermented shark!

The perfect time to do this is after the overnight flight, which is what we did on our way to Reykjavik. Would not have wanted to skip this at any price.

Amazing time in Iceland! Alicia was so patient, kind, knowledgeable, and very friendly with me while I took my time booking/planning this big trip! She was able to provide excellent recommendations and was willing and able to alter any of my last minute needs. Highly recommend her and her company- can’t wait to book again to see the North and East of Iceland!!!

The whole trip was phenomenal. Alicia helped create an amazing trip! Iceland was beautiful and Alicia created an itinerary that let us see all the locations we asked for in addition to others we didn't know to ask to see. It was tailored to our interest and we had a fantastic time

Eric did an outstanding job! He was responsive and easy to communicate with. All of the accommodations and the excursions went smoothly. The Magma Hotel spoiled us early on and our first dinner of the trip at Rauda Husid was one of the best of the trip. Another favorite was Birki in Hofn. The Katla Ice Cave tour and then the Glacier hike were outstanding as was Thingvellir. An optional hike that I thought was spectacular was Mulagljufur canyon although we would classify it as moderate rather than easy. There were just too many spectacular sights to list. I’m sure we could have saved some money by trying to plan the trip ourselves but using KimKim was well worth it. It was very relaxing and truly a trip of a lifetime!

The Geothermal Vok Baths

This one had a little bit more of a party atmosphere and was more crowded but still fun. It was interesting to be able to jump into the lake then back into the warm water.

Laura was great.

Earth Lagoon

Very different from the other 2 lagoons we went to. The steam and blue water made it a bit interesting. Staff person at the front desk was a little rude.

Edgar was really fun and informative but also focused on safety.

Hannah did a wonderful job of planning our 10 day trip around Iceland. We loved it! It was just about perfect, and Iceland is an extraordinary country. The Perlan museum is a great place to start. Then we headed out to do the golden circle (even though the weather was quite something!). We ended up seeing north, south, and southeast Iceland, plus a whale watch where we saw multiple whales. It was truly a memorable trip!

Hanna provided a wonderful itinerary and all of our car, plane and hotel reservations went smoothly. Hanna was very responsive to all of our questions. The scenery and walks were both spectacular and unusual. Her suggestions for places to eat were excellent. We loved the Perlman museum and I would suggest that she make sure to include the Perlan when in Reykjavik. Highly recommend Hanna and KimKim.

We had an excellent, well oiled, smooth trip thanks to Eric and Offbeat. They set up all our hotel reservations, making sure breakfast included everywhere. We did most of the trip on our own, but the things he/they set up were great and all lived up to expectations. (horseback riding, whale watching. lagoon trip) Their daily plan was very helpful, particularly for the map, which really helped with day-to-day plans. One thing I would suggest is to add a separate map that includes all the stops-including the optionals. (i.e.-2 maps, one with all suggested and another with suggested + optional). What would be REALLY cool is to have an interactive map where one could add or delete stops of any kind. It was helpful that they reached out with warnings about some potential road issues. And they got back to us quickly when we corresponded on their urgent email. They added just the right amount of handholding we needed and their suggestions took into consideration most of our interests.

Iceland has always been a dream destination for me, and when I heard there was an eclipse passing over the island I knew it was time to go!

We started trip planning very late so we were very grateful for Preeti’s help. We told her what we wanted to see and do while there and she made it all possible. Because of the coming eclipse a lot of places were booked and we never would have found the hotels and tours that we wanted without Preeti’s connections and expertise.

She laid out each day with lots of options for things to do and see; each tailored to our desires and we were never disappointed. Iceland is a truly magical place and Preeti helped us see as much as we could in the 10 day window that we were there.

The eclipse was obscured by clouds except of one brief moment, but we were never in the least bit sorry that we came. The weather is always a gamble but our lovely trip to this beautiful island could not be diminished by that.

We saw many sites that no doubt thousands have seen before but each one seemed to be so pristine and new as if they were newly discovered just days before.

I know it’s only a matter of time before we return to explore more of the otherworldly realm that is Iceland.
