This tour was fabulous. All the places we visited were special in their own way. Some long days of driving but completely understandable as we travelled from one end of the country to the other. Our tour guide Torun was incredible not only with his amazing knowledge of all the sites we visited but with the warmth of his welcome to his country, his willingness to answer any questions put to him, the stories he shared with us, the food he recommended and the way he ensured that every person was extremely well looked after.

What a fantastic trip. Iceland is so full of natural wonder its hard to know what to highlight. The first thing is our guide; a passionate Icelander who brought everything to life and told us all about the detail we might otherwise miss.
We saw blue sky, sunshine and a dusting of snow for the first 3 days then overcast and finally rain and blasts of strong wind. Nothing the weather could throw at us could marr the beauty and splendour of Iceland.
Everything from dormant and dead volcanic craters, thermal baths, glaciers and their iceburgs, larva fields, waterfalls....the list goes on and on.
Lastly, the public - open air - swimming pools and their hot tubs are a must. They refresh you, offer you the chance to wind down and relax and are absolutely wonderful. Do go!
