I thought the trip was great! We saw a lot, including puffins, waterfalls, geysers, and lots of animals. We also learned a lot about Iceland. I was lucky to have a good group too.

Awesome, amazing, fantastic … a magical tour. We were very fortunate to have fine clear and sunny skies with no wind for large period of our trip. We did experience whiteouts in the mountains and a little snow. The Northern Lights were better than I hoped for. Erla our guide was superb, enthusiastic to share her knowledge and love for her country with a great itinerary. Thor our driver was also fantastic and safe as there were a few tricky days with whiteouts and ice! Highly recommend this tour. Food was tops too

To be able to get an idea of a country by driving around it is something I would recommend wherever you are. Even better when someone else does the driving.
The views even with unpredictable weather were always second to none. Black sand beaches and icebergs one minute, Lunar like landscapes the next. Spectacular waterfalls around even turn. Enormous fjords and glaciers that you can actually hear moving.

Einer Thosteinsson , our guide was super enthusiastic about his homeland
The tour was well planned, we went to all the major sites without being rushed
The hotels were all very good if a little overheated
I knew we weren’t going to be met at the airport so that was no problem but I would have liked an introductory meeting either the night we arrived or before we clambered onto the coach the following morning, I missed the small sign on reception that gave the first meet-up time
Otherwise a superb trip
